No Important Messages Intrusted to the Mails, and None of Any Kind to the Wires, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE GUIDED BY THE PRESIDENT that seems to be his own invention Is the result of conferences with his most trusted friends. Secretary Charles Foster and Sec retary "Steve" Elkins are the two "practi cal" politicians of the Cabinet, and they are the men who are constantly at .the ears of the President, to whom his best thoughts are submitted, and from whose experience in the practical pulling of the political wires he draws points for the broader strategy which is peculiarly his own. Not only young students of party man agement, but also many who are old at the trade, are waiting with not a little curiosity the extent to which Mr. Harrison Is carry ing his personal conduct of the campaign, to see how and where the suggestions conspic uously his own are found to be eflective.and how much the result of the campaign, what ever that result may be, shall be due to the President's insistence on his way of doing things. on d thought of the industrial classes will pievail over their earlier discontent In con nection witb the mill troubles In the manu facturing towns throughout the distriot.

IFBOJI A STAFF COEnESrOXDEST.l WASniNGTOS-, Oct 2. It President Ilarrison has lo6t any part of his grip upon the work of the campaign during his stay in the l'crests of the Adirondack, and in the absorption of domestic demands, he has certainly recovered his hold during the week or ten days elapsed since his return. Almost the only visitors admitted to his private rooms have been bearers of political information. As he cannot go to the "boys," the "boys" come to him. Little dependence is placed in the mails, and none at all in the telegraph. Almost daily some messenger or member of the National Committee from the headquarters at New York comes quietly to the Execu tive Mansion, and usually gets away with-. out his presence being known to the public. It is only when someone so generally famiiiar to the people of the city that he is at once recognized makes his appearance, that his visit is at once heralded as that of one who is a carrier of important news to the President, and it is almost invariably the fact that such a visitor comes at the re quest of the President. Harrison's Hand Always on the Lever. When Mr. McComas, Secretary of tho National Committee, was here a few days n;o. he went over the entire ground of the work of the committee, and received many seggestions from Mr. Harrison as to where the policy pursued had been weak, where it was particularly commendable, and what should be done that had not been done in certain sections of the country. Senator Aldrich's visit yesterday was in response to an invitation of the President, who some time commissioned him to give special attention to New England. "While the President has no doubt of the loyalty to the Bepublican party of the great New England politicians, such as Blaine, Heed, Hale, Frye, Lodge, and others who may be said as a whole to have little personal ad miration for Mr. Harrison, he does not de pend on them for information in regard to the opcrationsgof the cam paign machine in those parts, and there fore the practical and trusty Senator from Rhode Island is selected to keep an eye on all New England, to discover any. weak spot in the armor of its Republicanism. Looking; Out for All Loopholes. Mr. Harrison is also in daily consultation with persons connected with the Congress ional Committee, to keep himself informed of local and factional quarrels, if any there be, which might have some effect ou the vote for electors. In short, even in the midst of the distressing illness in his fam ily, Mr. Harrison shows himself to be more of a practical politician than anyone has before suspected, and, more than this, that he places reliance in the judgment of no other person so much as in his own. No National Committee ever had to deal with a candidate so heedstiong, so insistent that his view of the management .of the campaign shall be accepted, perfectly will ing that he shall stand or fall upon Lis single judgment It was not so in 188& At that time he was strange to men and methods in the party and kept in the back ground. Now he feels that the political machinery is largely of his own manufac ture, and that no one is to well fitted for operating it as its maker. A Subject of Constant Remark. This management is so conspicuous, es pecially to the party men here in "Washing ton, as to be a subject of constant remark, aud it has been more conspicuous than ever since his recent return to the White House. So far it is felt that no mistake has been made, and there is consequently no protest against a personal management which seems to some to savor of a selfishness superior to consideration for party. But Mr- Harrison feels that in his position as candi date he is the party, the very head and front of it, and that it is impossible any other person in the universe should have the success of the party more at heart than he His friends here insist that he has more reason than ever for keeping his own hand on the lever, in view of the fact that the two great men of the National Commit tee, Mr. Carter and Mr. Clarkson, could find a disposition, in the midst of their tre mendous responsibilities, to spend an even ing in a private box at the theater to see giddy Lottie Collins do the high-kicking act and sin? "Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay." Two 1'ractlcal Bowers In the Cabinet. Of course Mr. Harrison does not setup his judgment against that ct all others when there is a serious division of opinion In. record to politics, and possibly much Between Cleveland and HIII They Drive In Central Park at the Same Time, bnt Ko One Saw Them Eecognlzo Each Other A Great "Week for New Tork Democrats. New Yobk, Oct 2. Special Mr. Cleveland read all the Sunday newspapers to-day, chatted with Mr. Whitney, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Smalley and Major F. W. McGettrick, Democratic candidate for Con gress in the First district of Vermont, had luncheon, and in the afternoon drove through the park with Oscar Strauss, ex Turkish Minister, in a Victoria, behind a spanking team of bays. He returned to his hotel at dusk, and after dinner talked and smoked with personal friends. Senator Hill drove through the park with Colonel William P." Thompson, President of the Southern Cleveland and Stevenson Clnb, and returned to Alhany at 6 o'clock. Edward Murphy, Jr., Lieutenant Governor Sbeehan and their Republican opponents in the State and nation rested from their labors. It was said that the Democratic State Committee will meet early next week to name a candidate for Cbiof Justice of the Court of Appeals, and that the Hepublican State Committee will meet some time this week for tho same purpose. JSelther of the two leaders, Senator Hill nor ex-Senator Piatt, could give any idea who the candi dates would bo. A Great Day for tho Democracy. Tho convention of tho New rork State League of Democratic Clubs in Chickering Hall will be the event of Tuesday. The hall is adorned with flags and bunting and paintings of Cleveland and Stevenson, and a rousing time Is promised. There will be a great orchestra, and many of the clubs will march to tho hall accompanied by their own bands. President John Bovd Thatcher, of the State League, will preside, and ex-Presl-dent Cleveland will make a tew remarks. George Raines, or Rochester, William C. De Witt, of Brooklyn, and others will also speak. In the evening the State League Clubs will celebrate with fireworks and led paint Mr. Cleveland saB he will positively attend tho reception In the evening. The majority of the New York delegation at Minneapolis In their opposition to the re nomination to President Harrison were overthrown. The opposition of the entire Now York State delegation or Democrats to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland nt Chicago vi as unceremoniously set aside. Yet, as the campaign progresses, the great men at the bureaus of chairman Har- rity. Chairman Carter. Chairman Shee han and Chairman Hackett say that tho real battleground is right hero in New Tork State. Mr. Ilarrity and Some of his brethren on the National Demo cratic Committee have hopes for Wisconsin, Io-a, and Illinois. The ro ports from tho branoh headquarters in Chicago are tending to inflame these notions. Sir. Carter is cheerful over halcyon reports from Ala bama, but old Hepublican campaigners rranklv admit that the force bill issue will keep the Southern States solid for tho Demo cratic candidates. William Hudson has charge of the Demo cratic campaign speakers in the State, and John S. Ecnyon directs the movements of tho Republicans. The hard work or tho campaign in tho State is at hand. Address of Irish-American Democrats. At Democratic National headquarters it was announced to-day that at a meeting of Irish-Americans, held September 28, tho Irish-American Democratic Union was formed. An address adopted by tho Union Mas issued from Democratic National head quarters. It says in part : "We deprecate and deplore the fact that, promoted by the Republican party, many citizens or our race have, during the past ten years, been induced to lorni associations known as Irish Republican Clubs, to render aid and assistance to that party. In doing so the Republican party, which has alwavs desired to be known as the "American party,' proved its readiness to grasp any idea, no matter how erroneous and un worthy, and utilize It lor tho per petuation of its power. Sinco 1683 it has ardently endeavored to oultlvate tho opinion among Irish-Americans that Republican success means benefit to the Irish cause, liish American orators have enlisted under the Republican banner, their special valno being theirabilltv to advocate, and, If possible, convince citizens of their race that in aldlmr the Republican party they would help Irish interests. We can not question the right of any citizen to havo a political preference, but as Iiish-Amerl-cans we havo the right to protest against the assertion of the Repuoiicaus that the success or tneir party means benefit to Ireland, and to show to all whom we hope to reach during this campaign that tho success or the Democratic party will be for the best interests of all the American people." HARRITY CHASES RAINBOWS. Perfectly Confident of tho South, Be Looks for Votes From Hitherto Solid Republi can States Thinks Cleveland Has Seven Good Chanoeg Oat of Ten. Philadelphia, Oot 2. Chairman W. F. Harrity came over from New Tork to spend Sunday with his family and to look after tome business and professional mat ters. He will return to New York to-morrow. Mr. Harrity had an extended confer ence with Mr. Cleveland, Friday, during which the work ot the campaign was reviewed and the plans for future work submitted. Mr. Cleveland ex pressed himself as much pleased with the work, and as quite gratified at the outlook. Mr. Harrity believes that Mr. Cleveland should make a few pnbllo addresses during the campaign, bnt whether he will do so is, as yet an undetermined question. Referring to the present polltioal condi tions Mr. Harrity said: "I regard the out look for Democratic suocess as particularly bright. I should, say that Mr. Cleveland has not less than seven chances out of ten to be elected. The campaign in New York is in good shape, and the Bltuatlon there is improving every day. Lieutenant Governor Sbeehan, who is Chair man or the Democratic Campaign Commit tee of the 8tate of New York, has an ef ficient organization, with a united party at Its back. The Demoorats of Indiana are in a better state of organization than they have been at any time since 1831, when they carried the State for Cleveland. Governor Gray is among those who are leading tho fight in Indiana, and his work has already had a telling effect Or course, New Jersey and Connecticut will be all right 'We reel certain of our ability to carry all or the Southern States." said Mr. Harrity. notwithstanding the Republican managers claim some of those States. The situation in Alabama was serious, but the latest news from the State satisfies ns that we shall carry it. and of a favorable result in West Virginia we have no doubt Our friends in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa as well as those in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhodo Island are doing splendid work, and I believe we shall get electoral votes from more than one of those States. Then, too, the Weaver electoral ticket Is likely to win in several or the rar Western States, thus depriving Harrison of that many electoral votes. Altogether, we feel very much encouraged and we fall to see that anything material will occur within the next five weeks to change the situation to the prejudice of the Democratic candidates."

Politicians were interested to-day in a report which was traced to Mr. Cleveland's room In tho Victoria that Wayne MoVeagh, of Phil adelphia, Attorney General in Garfield's cabinet and brother-in-law of Senator Don Cameron, ex-Judge T. M. Cooley, or Michi gan, formerly president of the Inter-State commission, and at one time pro ressor of law in Ann Arbor University, as well as Judgo Gresham were to come out for Cleveland. It was also averred that Mr. MacVeagh has written a letter announcing his change of front, and that Judge Coolcy's letter is to be equally foroible. Tho Republican leaders have known all along that Judge Gresham was personally opposed to Harrison, and. they sav his de fection would hurt Harrison In Indiana and Illinois, where Gresham is very popular. They believe, though, that Judge Gresham will not do any campaigning. As for Mr. MoVeagh, the Republicans have known for several days that he was "kioking." They say mat nis aereccion wouia not nurt, especially In Pennsylvania. The re- 8ort of the alleged attitude or Jndge ooley was a surprise to the Kepnblicans. The programme.

NewYohk, Oct 2. The WorUFt Chicago correspondent -n ires that Judge Walter Q. Gresham will vote for Grover Cleveland. The announcement was made this morning upon authority of Judge Allen, of the Fed eral Court, and confirmed by Democrats of high standing. Judge Gresham told Judge Allen he should vote for Mr. Cleveland, and told him he was at liberty to repeat the statement Judgo Allen did repeat it, and that is how the news reached Chicago. The acquisition of Judge Gresham by tho Democratic party was declared to be more than enough to offset the adverse lnflnenco or the withdrawal of General Sickles should the old warrior conclude to bolt the ticket juuge uresnam's action woula, it was con sidered, draw a large number of votes to tho Democratic party in Illinois and be of inestimable service to the party in Indiana, where he is unusually strong. When the correspondent called on Judge Gresham to-nlxrht he refused to talk politics. T shall vote for Mr. Cleveland, and that is all there is about it," said he. ' An Associated Press di-patch from Chicago snys that Judge Gresham will neither affirm nor deny tho story that he Intends to vote lor Grover Cleveland. He was seen to-night, but refused absolutely to sav anything upon the matter. His replv to all questions was: "I will not say a word," and more than that could not be obtained from him.

The Kansas Demo crat, which heretofore has been the recog nized organ or fusion or the Democrats and Populists, bolted that movement to-day, in a long editorial, and removed from tho head of the column the fusion State and electoral ticket. TheDcmocraf states that it has dis covered the fusion movement was called into existence and is now controlled by a set of selfish office seekers who are domi nated more by the hope of selfish gain than by a desire ror the triumph of the Demo cratic party.. The movement dwindled down, says the Democrat, into aoontest within the fusion ranks between a few who are seeking to send themselves to the United States Senate to succeed Senators PeflTer and Perkins, whose terms soon expire. The bolt is a body blow to fusion movements. APATHY IN MORGAN'S DISTRICT. The Kepnblicans 'Warned Not to Lose the Fight Though Indifference. Carton, O., Oct 2.-t!pecfaI.-Develop-ments in tho Congressional fight in this (tho old McKinley) dlstilct, shown In connection with the efforts nt organization of the State League of Republican Clubs, show an Inex plicable condition of apathy on tho part of the Republicans, particularly in Mahoning and Columbiana counties. It is averred, however, on the part of the managers of the Republican campaign that Morgan, of Alli ance, has so little real opposition that there is no occasion for the usual campaign dem onstrations. The Populites are particularly active In this county (Stark) aud as the Democrats of Columbiana county are tremendously alert In behal for their local candidate, Dr. Ifcert, or East Liverpool, there is possible peril for Republican success in the admitted party indifference.

Special Frank Cooley, the leader of the notorious gang of outlaws, was shot dead at his father's home near Smlthfield this evening. The outlaw and his partner, Jack Bam say, were brought to bay by Sheriff Mc Cormick and a posse, and the famous leader, rather than surrender to his pursuers, gave up his life, but Ramsay escaped. It was not a cowardly surrender, for the bandit met death bravely and shot many times before the fatal bullet pierced his heart Sheriff McCormick received notice 'this afternoon that the gang was at Lute Cooley's home, in George's township, and that if he would go up immediately he could capture them. The Sheriff lost no time, and, together with Deputy Sheriff Alle baugh, drove up to Fairchauce. They wera met there by Frank Pegg, who was hired by W. "W. Laughead two weeks ago to run the gang down. Laughead had a special in terest in seeing the gang put out of the way, beeause he has experienced pretty rough treatment at their hands. ; The Two Outlaws Surprised. Pegg led Sheriff McCormick and Deputy Sheriff Allebaugh to a clump of trees near the Cooley homestead. Here they were foined by Milt Hartley, a Fairchance po liceman, and George Fisher, a United States Secret Service detective, who ran down the moonshiners of this county last spring. Fisher bos been following the gang for the lost two months, and it was through his efforts that the outlaws were brought into the Sheriff's hands. They followed, the gang for three successive Sundays, and they on each occasion spent the day with the Cooley family. This morning he followed Frank and Bamsay, and discovered at noon that they were at the Cooley homestead. He then notified Sheriff McCormick and led him and his party to where the outlaws were passing the day. "When the Sheriff arrived at the clump of trees, from which they had a good view of Lute Cooley's home, the movements of the party were directed by Fisher. They had not waited long until Frank Cooley and Bamsay came out of the house and walked around as though they had nothing to fear. No Trouble to Beach the Couple. The field between the Cooley residence and the woods has been recently cleared and is oovered with stumps, so that the Sheriff and his men had an excellent1 op portunity of passing in Indian style, from stump to stump, and thus getting nearer the outlaws than the woods. - Cooley and Bamsay were sitting behind a large stump In the sun. The pursuers were not slow to take advantage of such an op portunity. They did not wait to pass further from atump to stump, but at Fisher's command stood up and boldly walked to where the outlaws were lying in the sun. Their approach was heralded by a dog that ran out and began barking. The out laws sprang to their feet, and seeing no chance of escape, began firing. The Sheriff's men returned the fire. Frank Cooley Killed In the Shooting. Many shots were exchanged, and finally the man who had led the most notorious gang that ever terrorized the people of this county was brought to the ground. Frightened at the fall of his courageous lea0?r, Bamsay lied to the woods, closely pursued by two of the SheriS's men', who fired set e.al shots at him, none of which, though, toot effeot The dead body of the bandit leader was picked up and carried into his father's house and closely guarded. Coroner Hol bcrt held an inquest about two hours after Cooley was killed. When the Coroner h eld the post mortem examination he found that the bullet had struck the body below the clavicle bone and took a downward course, passing through the heart Still on the Trail of Bamsay. Another wound was found in his back, which appeared as though it had been in flicted several days ago. This confirms the story of Jacob Prinkey.the old mountaineer, who was robbed about a week ago, and who said that his son had shot at and wounded one of the gang, as telegraphed to Tub Dis patch at the time. The Sheriff and his men will guard the remains of the outlaw all night, and bring them to town in the morning. A part of his posse are in pursuit of Bamsay, and it is thought he will be captured before morn lug.

Greaves grappled with his assail ant. Gamel struck Greavas three times with the hatchet, aiming each time for the head. Two blows were dodged and fell on Greaves' neck. The third spile his skull behind the left ear. He dropped like a log from the scaffold, falling about 20 feet, where ho was caught by Intorseoting guy ropes', and lay out of reach of his antag onist. With almost superhuman strength the fallen painter clutched at tho wire cables and began to olimb hand over hand to the bridge floor, the blood pouring from the cut. He had no sooner thrown himself on tho bridge than Gamel pounced npou him again, but by this time other workmen had reached, the spot and prevented outright murder. "If I catch you again I'll kill yon!" hissed Gamel at his victim, as he hurled his hatchet Into the rivor nnd fled. Greaves was picked np and carried to the Canadian shore, where his wounds were dressed. He had reoeived a sevore blow, severing a artery, and the hemorrhage was so copious that the surgeons pronounce his bold npon life extremely precarious. Mrs. Harrison Much Improved.

Briggs, of Union Theologi cal Seminary, which has been agitating the entire Presbyterian Church for a year and a half, will be brought up again to-morrow at the regular meeting of the New York Pres bytery, which convenes in the lecture room of the Scotch Presbyterian Church, in West Fourteenth street, at 10 o'clock. The General Assembly, which met in Portland, Ore., last May, refused to accept the Presbytery's dismissal of the charges against Prof. Briggs.nnd ordered the Presby tery to proceed with the trial. At the June meeting the Presbytery acknowledged the receipt of the order, and said it would be called out in the fall. But little has been heard of the contro versy during the summer, for the principal actors in it have been away from the city. Prof. Briggs has spent most of his time at Oxford, working with Prof. Francis L. Brown on the Hebrew lexicon which the latter is preparing. Briggs Returns From England. Prof. Briggs returned from England two weeks ago. Several members of the Com mittee of Prosecution have also been away from the city. The committee consists of Eevs. G. W. F. Birch, J. J. Lampe, Eob ert F. Sample and Elders J. J. McCook and J. J. Stevenson. The Presbytery dismissed the charges of heresy against Prof. Briggs last fall on the ground that the charges and specifications were insufficient in form and legal effect. At to-morrows's meeting the Committee of Prosecution may ask permission to amend the charges or they may demand that the Presbytery shall vote again on tbo question whether the charges are sufficient in form and legal effeot. If the committeo be permitted to amend the charges they would havo to servo a copy of the amended oharges upon Dr. Briggs and he would havo ton days in which to ore Dare an answer. It is not probable that the members of the Presbytery would stultify their previous notion by deciding that the charges, as al ready diawn, are sufficient. They may pos sibly refuse to allow Dr. Birch's committee to amond tho charges and specifications, which would amount practically to a defi ance of the General Assembly's order, and would make another appeal by the commit tee to the Synod or the General Assembly necessary. Won't Be Tried Before November. The Synod of New York meets in Albany October 18, and an Important appeal inado by the friends of Dr. Briggs will then come before that body. The appeal is from a de cision or the Presbvterv that the committed or prosecution is an original party and has a right to carry the case through all tho ec clesiastical courts. If tho Synod decides that Dr. Birch's committee is but a creature of Presbytery and ha no power to act with out the authority of Presbytery, it will bo necessary for the committee to defend its own existence by appealing to the General Assembly. Many members of Presby tery are In favor of waiting until tho Synod acts befoie making any furthor movo in the Presbytery ngainst Dr. Briggs. It Is probable that, at the earliest, Piof. Briggs' trial will not occur until somo timo in November. Out in the Cincinnati Presbytery prepar ations are actively going forward for the trial of another theologian whoso vlewi are consideted as heretical as thoeor Prof. Briggs. He Is Bev. Henry P. Smith, Pro fessor of Uobrew and Old Testament exege sis in Lane Theological Seminary. For a year representatives of tho old school In the Cincinnati Presbytery have been trying to bring Prof. Smith to account for his views, but they were not successful until lust month.

Kenan was troubled with in. somnia, and his artist son, Ary, was- forced to spend part of the night reading to him. Four hours before death 31. Kenan tnrned to his wife and said: "Why are you sad?" "Because I seo you suffer," she replied. "Be calm and resigned." he responded: "we undergo the laws of that nature where of we aro a manifestation. We perish, we disappear; but heaven and earth remain, and the march of time goes on forever." M. Benan had long suffered froma compli cation of diseases including rheumatism and gout. Being conscious that bo would soon dio, ho made all arrangements for the puoii cation of the final volume of his "History of Israel," and five years hence, of some vol umes of reminiscence Just beforo dying ho exnrcssed a wish for a natural funeral. The Paris correspondent of the News says: "Hlsfaco in death looks Ineffably serene, and conveys an idea of power which it tailed to do in life. It is doubtful whether his life v, ould have been the obarmlng ram blo through reality that he found It bat for the help and sympathy of three women his noblo hearted sisters, Kosalie and Matlamo Cornn, the latter the Emperor's foster sister, who procured for him the historical mission to Syria, and his admirable wife, whoso mind, so fine and enlightened, qualified her to be his kindly companion, literary coun selor and friend." HUNGER RIOTS IN MEXICO. Famine and Extortion Provoko a Tcrrlblo Fight in aiorlla. Saw Astosio, Oct, 2. Homor Finlay, who for Bix years has been in business in Morlia, Mexico, arrived here to-day and gavo a vivid account of tne famine riot which oc curred in that city. Morlia is on the verge of starvation, owing to the total failure of crops for four seasons. "When the (amine was threatened several months ago," said Mr. Finlay, "several mer chants contracted for largo quantities of corn in the United States. These specula tors extorted what little money tho poor people bad in a short time. For tho last two months tho suffer ing among tho poor has been Intense, and many deaths from starvation have occurrod. Last Sunday night the starv ing hordo organized a mob and began a con certed attack upon the food stores. The police were utterly powerless. One feed store after another was entered, and as but little corn was found tbo frenzy of tho mob increased. Three regiments were called out, but their appear ance only added to the desperation or the starving people. Tho mob fought its way through the line of soldiers. The sol diers ODcned fire and ono man was killed and several wounded. The mob started for tho granaries of Joseph Martinez, in which 5,000 bushels of corn wee stored. Tney broke down tho doors and supplied them. selves with what each could carry away." BLACKS AGAINST WHITES. DR. DOUGLAS IS DEAD.

Advisory Board. "The Judo is a , fearless man, and may take it into ', his head to punish people who-' have the temerity to criticize a Judge for doing his duty. The public should know the truth, and I am surprised that so much secrecy has been thrown aronnd the pro ceedings of the Court. It was uninten tional." With the above tip a Dispatch manf started out yesterday to find out just what occurred in the consultation room of the Supreme Court, and how the chargo of treason was made. It was learned that the warrant was not issued on a sudden impulse, , but after a long consultation, and., then Chif Justice Paxson was ordered by I his associates to do it. Justice Paxson do- ' clines to talk about the case, and th lawyers interested have preferred to keep their tongues quiet. Knox & Beed, the attorneys for tha Carnegie Company, prepared two briefs in, the case, one of facts and another of law. This was shortly after the Homestead riot; occurred, Mr. Frick hesitated for a time to bring the charge, but finally agreed. Satisfied With Pittsburg Talent. The company directed its attorneys to) call into consultation the best lawyers in; Philadelphia, if they saw fit. The bar of that city wa3 preferred, but they were nofr confined to the legal lights of the Quake town. Advice could have been sought, elsewhere. Knox s Heed were satisfied with their interpretation of the law and no , other attorneys were coEsnJKrLJJCkpie , of tho two briefs were prepare!-: and sent to all the Judges,) of the Supreme Court at least eight weeks: ago. The chargo was based on the Pennsyl, vania statute which comes first in PnrdonV Digest under the head of "Crimes." Tha maximum punishment is fixed at 12 years. The impression prevails that the informs tion was presented to the Supreme Court ' Judges since their arrival hero last Wednesday, but this is not so. Each I Judge had a brief of the law and ; facts for perusal from six to eight weeks ; previous to his coming to Pittsburg, and lu4 that time the Justices had carefully consid ered all the details. When the Judges con vened to arrango for the opening of the , court, they sent for Knox & Beed. The . latter offered to go into an ex parte hearing' ; before the Court to determine whether the judges thought there was sufficient found ation for a charge of treason or not. The Court replied at once that a hearing was not necessary. His associates then ordered , Chief Justice Paxson to issue the warrant ' for the arrest of the men. Sent for an Officer to Swear. The attorneys for the Carnegie Company stated they were ready to produce a prij vale citizen, supposed to be Secretary Love' joy, to swear to the information. Chief Justice Paxson is reported to have answered that in view of the allegations in the briefs a private citizen should not be called upon to do the work of an officer of the law, I and he would have one from the county to ' take the oath. This is how County Detcc- -tlve Beltzhoover came to figure in the case, much as he disliked it. Chief Justice Pax son asked him to swear to the informations . in order lo bring the charge befoie the" Court. One of the attorneys for the prosecution, in discussing the case last night, said: "Tho cry of persecution has been raised againsd " ns, but this is because people do not knovf all the facts. The Supreme Court was, asked to issue the warrants for the reason! -that under the law this is the only court, that could have done so. All cases of treaj son are tried before the highest court.' This is true of the English law, and there, are Instances where the King of England,' sat on the bench with the judges in the trial of treason cases, so that people aro' very foolish when they criticise Chief Jus1 tice Paxson. The charge was brought under , the Pennsylvania statute and not under thai - common law. ',, "I am surprised that so many people anot some newspapers fall int'os tho error that) i treason consists only In levying war against V the State or aiding and abettingqta enemies, This is nart of the definition. It'is treason' able to deny any citizen or set ofSnen thft rights that belong to all under the law. What tho Charge Is Based Upon. "This charge of treason is not based oa the riot and the attack on tho Pinkertons in the barges, nor on the abuse these men; received after the surrender. That is only) ' an incident. The treason occurred after the ', battle and up to the time when the State; t troops took charge of the town and sup! pressed tho lawlessness. The Advisoryk' 2 Board was organized and a government ot "' its own was established. The sheriff of th4 ? county was defied and ordered "' out of the village with his deputies.
