TWELVE PAGES
THE OFFICIAL BALLOT AGAIN.
The bill filed in the Supreme Court yes
terday, on behalf of a number of leading
citizens, introduces a novel issue in the
administration of the law. The bill does
not, as vre understand it, antagonize the
law Itself, but it challenges that portion
of its administration which puts the na
tional, State and county tickets on a single
ballot, to to deposited in a single box.
The prosecutors of the bill claim that the
present law can be administered con
sistently with the act of 1806 that called
for separate ballQt boxes for the separate
classes of officers. They also present
samples of the official ballot divided as
they propose, with the assertion that the
division would greatly reduce the cost and
facilitate the handling of the tickets.
The point is an interesting one, and its
decision will be awaited with some impa
tience. "While it seems probable that the
mode of preparing the ballots suggested
in the bill will, as is claimed, be both
more economical and convenient, it is
to be remembered that the court cannot
order a ballot to take one form or
the other on account of these considera
tions. The only criterion is what the law
provides. The able counsel fiiing the bill
are of opinion that the law does not re
quire all the offices of various character to
be printed on the same ballot They hold,
it may be presumed, that on election day
there will be one election for Fresidental
electors requiring an official ballot, an
other for the Judiciary requiring a separ
ate ballot; and a third for county officers
requiring a third ballot This might create
a strong presumption in favor of the
theory if it were not that equally eminent
legal authority is of the opposite opinion.
That being the case the Supreme Court
must decide the question if it takes juris
diction. Without anticipating the ruling
of that eminent tribunal it may be said
that the theory of the bill is somewhat
difficult to harmonize with the intent of
the law indicated by the requirement that
all the "ballots used at any voting place
shall be alike.
It is quite possib'e that the change pro
posed in this legal document would avert
such muddles as arise from the extraordi
nary size of the ticket in President3l
years; but the change seems to be one
rather for the Legislature than for tho
courts, unless the law is generally misin
terpreted. NEED rOR A PROCESSIONAL AVENUE.
So far as mere politics go, it is no great
loss that facilities for nightly parading
are being lessened in Pittsburg. The
torchlight, the drum and the transparency
are fantastic relics of the politics of ten,
twenty or thirty years ago, but have no
special usefulness or significance in the
days we are fallen upon, when "educa
tional1 campaigns to convince the mind
by speech and writing are all tho fashion.
Hut all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy; and there are some things quite
outside of politics that all the speechify
ing, writing and printing In the world" can
never illustrate as well, or as entertain
ingly, as a procession. Of that sort, for
instance, is the Columbus celebration
which comes off to-morrow; the occasion
when the military have to turn out; the
days when people of special nationalities
go upon view; the parades of societies,
which can thus alone display adequately
the strength and personal character of
their organizations, and so on.
Under our cable and electric car system
tho pressure upon which will constantly
be growing any sort of parade will soon
be a highly-risky undertaking in Pitts
burg. The only way out of the difficulty
will be to establish one or two streets
specially for such functions. If Diamond
street were opened and widened the whole
way from Old avenue to Penn; and if the
promised O'llara street were cut through,
parallel with Penn, from the Point to
Lawrenceville and the streetcars kept
forever off both there would be three
miles of route thus opened which might
be extended to five miles by extending to
Bluff street and out to Oakland.
For the purpose of processional display
and for ordinary vehicular traffic some ar
rangement of this sort will yet have to be
effected. The danger from parading in
front of street cars which cross the pres
ent streets in every direction is too mani
fest now to think that the practice can in
future years be kept up.
A VERY VERSATILE OBGAN.
The fertility of the New York World in
the production cf free trade arguments is
beyond comparison. It is unique and
original, and nothing 1 ike it was ever be
fore seen in the world of politics. Its lat
est and most shining effort is the discovery
that there has? been a great loss to the
farmers from the McKinley act
The exports of grain in September, 1691,
were very much larger than in September,
1852. Consequently the farmer has been
deprived of a gain, reciprocity is a sham,
and the McKinley act is an invention of
the, King of Darkness. It does not occur
to 'the World that by its'own logic the ex
ports of grain in September, 1891, being
five months after the taking effect of the
act, must have been a magnificent result
of that legislation. When the impetuous
free trade logic rushes triumphantly over
an pbstacle 'of that sort, it is certain that
it would pay no heed to the fact that ex
ports of grain are a matter of surplus
crops and the needs of Europe.
But that is not all. Prices are lower.
Corn has gone down eleven cents, oats
three cents and wheat a quarter from the
boom of September, 1891. When the
World ponders this fact also without any
reference to the share which a foreign de
mand has in raising prices nothing less
than a death sentence for Major If cKinley
seems adequate. Yet is it more than a
month since that journal drew from the
statistics a fiery indictment of the McKin
ley act because it had done just the oppo
site of what it is now accused of doing,
and raised the prices of farm products?
Wc think it is just about that time since
TnE Dispatch had occasion to call atten
tion to the World' t unique display of itself
on that score.
When an allegedly great journal con
demns a measure because it has raised the
prices of farm products and then turns
around and proposes to wipe the same act
'Off the face of the earth because It has
lowered them, its economic versatilities
remove it beyond the pale of serious argu
ment NOT TOTAL TO THE CELEBRATION.'
Judge Tourgee's indictment of Christo
pher Columbus as a liar, freebooter, slave
hunter and gold-seeker, is reinforced by
the Rev. L. J. L. Mitchell, of New Haven,
who gives his adhesion to the doctrine
that Columbus was a man wholly un
worthy the honors paid to his memory.
The threat of the formation of an anti
Columbian party in this year of celebra
tion is interesting, but while the personnel
of the opposition so far is estimable, it is
hardly threatening.
It is not necessary to enter into a de
tailed discussion of the historical evidences
in order to settle the question whether
Columbus was a scoundrel, as Judge
Tourgee and Mr. Mitchell class him, or an
elevated and saintly character, as Wash
ington Irving, and the general opinion
consider him. The probability is that he
was a man of his time, which means that
he would aa sailor and adventurer do a
great many things considered entirely
legitimate and which would now
be considered akin to piracy. Even
later than Columbus' time, the English
explorers captured slaves and won great
fortunes by plundering the Spanish Main.
But it is not necessary to dissect Colum
bus' moral character or to decide how far
we must blame him for the darkness of
his age. That is outside the present cele
bration from the fact that his memory is
recalled in this jubilee not for what his
moral character was, but for what he did.
The reason of the celebration is that he
was the first mariner to locate and give
to the Old World the intelligence of new
lands heretofore unknown. The Norse
myths or legends may be given credit for
what is due them without detracting from
Columbus' fame. It was the discovery
that could be utilized which is celebrated;
and the man who accomplished that
achievement conferred an infinite bene
faction upon humanity without regard to
his personal morals. If he had been a
very Nero, it would not diminish the
magnitude of his actual performance. It
may reasonably be doubted whether he
was anything like as dark as his opponents
would paint him; but the vital point is
that this is not what the world is celebrat
ing his name for in this year of grace.
The only way to detract from the im
portance of the commemoration and the
magnitude of Columbus' fame is to show
that the new hemisphere is really not so
important a matter as people think it
" LONDON'S WATER.
From tho article published elsewhere in
this issue, the gradual process of improv
ing the quality of London's water supply
may be instructively traced. The water
supply of the British Metropolis to-day is
considered satisfactory, and that It is so is
due to the elaborate arrangements for
subsidence and filtration described. Pub-i
lie opinion acting through Parliament was
the incentive to the improvement, and
that is the only effective motive power in
such matters to be found anywhere.
Whether or-not the system of filtration
is the best to be adopted for the perfec
tion of the water supply hereabouts is a
matter dependent upon local circum
stances which may require a good deal of
discussion and consultation among experts
for its decision. But the one essential to
procuring a pure water supply, a clean
atmosphere, a proper disposition of garb
age or any other public benefit is an
urgent demand for it from the people.
When Pittsburgers once get properly
aroused to their duties and powers as
members of a corporate body all these and
many other good things will be obtained,
while the city will grow and prosper in a
greater degree than ever before.
THE LOSS OF STRIKES.
A compilation of a group of strikes in
this end of the State shows the loss of
wages to the employes to have been 52,
984,235, and the loss to employers 52,
112,075, but does not include some of the
later strikes which would swell the total
by per centage. The Philadelphia Record,
in citing the figures, very justly presents
them as putting the question, "Does it
pay?"
TnE Dispatch has always contended
that the loss of strikes makes that resort,
like war, a game from which both parties
can be losers. Especially from the side of
labor, viewed as a means for preventing
injustice by employers in the matter of
wages, the resort to strikes nearly always
costs more than it comes to. Suppose
that the nearly three millions shown by
this table to have been lost to labor had
been saved up and invested in enter
prises controlled by labor and fixing the
rate of wages by the homogeneous action.
of labor, both as employer and employed
it would now have & greater influence in
fixing just wages than all these futile
strikes, and in addition would be a pro
ductive property for its owners instead of
a dead loss.
On the other hand, the loss to employ
ers by the same showing argurs that they
would have found it profitable to have
taken a course by which strikes would be
invited. In the fifteen cases which make
up this total the employers might have
distributed $1,000,000 by profit-sharing or
increased wages among their workmen
and still have been over a million better
off than they now are. ' '
When both employers and employed
perceive the utter fatuity and loss to both
sides of attempts to settle wages by brute
force of endurance, and the superiority of
methods by which workingmen shall
share the position of employers, the labor
problem will be close to solution.
THE MEANING OF FUSION.
In pursuance of its boom for the fusion
of the Democrats and People's party in
the Northwest, the New York World says:
"It is simply designed to make the elec
tion of Mr. Cleveland doubly sure.
When he shall be again seated in the
White House it will not matter much
through which process his election was
secured."
Exactly. The movement, being one
whose only result, if it has any, is to
serve the Democratic cause, there should
be no mistake about it It masquerades
under another name, but its only possible
outcome except defeat is to aid a Demo
cratic victory. This is the real nature of
the so-called "fusion," and it is for that
reason that the Democrats are urged by
their organs to support It, even at the cost
of sailing under false colors for the cam
paign. If all the ex-Republican members of the
People's party will take nptice of the
avowed .purpose of the fusion movement,
its actual effect will be to restore the old
party lines.
The professional spy lie Caron is out in
a series of reminiscences that read very
muoh like a fairy tale about ex-President
Johnson and the Fenians, Parn ell's ad vocaoy
of physical force and so forth. Le Caron
says Johnson purposely save the Fenians
abundant time for their raid on Canada be
fore issuing the proclamation against them.
He says that Parnell told him, Le Caron,
that only physical foroe would free Ireland.
He also adds that the Clan-na-Gael was in
tieaty with Russia, for torpedo boats. This
wild kind of stuff is more sensational than
testimony of the informer before the Parnoll
Commission; and as be pntitln book form
it may sell. Since the Tory Government
went out, Le Caron's supplies from the
secret service fund, which keeps up such in
struments of British justice, have probably
been cut off; and in this default he takes to
authorship. Professional spies of Le Caron's
type cannot, however, be trusted to con
tribute any reliable thing to history.
It is a pity that there is not a larger
seating capacity in the London courts. It
seems that murder trials and social exposes
are to Londoners what the oircus and its
gladiatorial combats were to the ancient
Romans.
TAmmany'S supreme control of its min
ions was clearly indicated by stho "hearse
laughter" which gieeted the query if there
were uny other namos to be offered as com
petitors to Thomas F. Gllroy's nomination.
Thore is no doubt that Tammany Hall is far
and away the best running and most
smoothly lubricated political machine in
the world. But the immorality of its mo
tive power and tho facility with which it
produces corruption are not exactly the
greatest incentives to an honest nation to
elect a President who will be dependent
upon Tamiriany's advice for the exercise of
bis rowers of patronage and general execu
tive functions.
There is no very apparent political sig
nificance in the partial eclipse of the sun to
day. But perhaps Proressor Totten bus
some hidden meaning of it to edify the
publio withal.
When thev get back from Chicago,

some out of the way region known as Scott's

bloody light before long. No fitter subjects
could be found for rhetorical persuasiveness,
and great would be the fame of an evangel
ist who should charm these semi-barbarians
into amity by the sweetness of bis eloquent
discourse.

This calls for the risking of more lives In
tlio efforts of the 'record-holder's competi
tors. That ordinance to mitigate the smoke
nuisance in the business quarters of the
city, which is to be introduced to Councils
on Monday, should meet with hearty
support and no opposition. It should be
passed and enforcedas soon as it can be
made law. Pittsburg's wealth, health and
convenience will all be enhanced by such a
measure, and there is no reasonable argu
ment against It. Z
Stoning Governor McKinley'g train in

There is a most regrettable amount of

Since all the Democratic leaders differ
more or less from one another and their
party platform, and seeing that none of
them have thought it worth while to pro
pose any definite substitute for existent
Protective legislation, the assumption tha$
a soaroh for official spoils is the beginning
and end of their efforts appears well war
ranted. Air early Indian summer might infuse
some wainith into the last days of the cam
paign. What with omissions in the Invitations
sent out, rivalry between various officials
and organizations, and the usual Impossi
bility of pleasing everyone, it transpires
that Columbus celebrations may be made a
source of discord and dissension by con
tentions and jealous parties Just as easily as
any common everyday matter.

CAMPAIGN NEWS AND COMMENT.
West Virginia is not the only border
State which the Republicans are hopeful of
transferring from the opposition column
this year. In little Delaware the Democrats
have for years past been disturbed and to an
extent demoralized by faetlonal quarrels.
In 1888 the State gave Cleveland about the
average majority, but elected a Republican
Legislature, resulting in the choice of Mr.
Higgms as United States Senator.
The Democrats announced that this
was only an accident, and would
nover happen again.' But " in 1890
the Legislature was once more Republican
in both branches, and, though that was the
Democratic tidal wave year throughout the
country, the plurality of that party for
Governor was Cut to a bare 500. This Legis
lature has enacted measures to relieve the
Republicans of some disadvantages which
previously operated aS a handicap. Gov
ernor McKinley delivered an address at
Wilmington a short time Ago, and was re
ceived in a most entbuslastlo manner. The
leaders of the Republican forces aie men
of marked ability, and have been con
ducting a most rigorous canvass. It is
not much wonder then that cx-Seoretaiy of
State Thomas F. Bayard has cancelled his
Western stumping tour, and Is devoting
Sractlcnlly his entire attention to his home
tnte. The term of tne other Demooiatlo
Senator expires this year, and the choice of
a Legislature 'which would give Hlgglns a
Republican colleague would bo a sore blow
to the party which so long controlled Dela
ware w ithout question. The little seashore
State may not vote for the Republican can
didate for President this year, but it Is
progressing In thtitdlrection, and the Demo
crats are thoroughly aroused to the un
pleasant fact.
The alliterative combination of Sipe and
Snee is creating considerable commotion in
the country districts of Allegheny county.
General Sickles' nomination for Con
gress has apparently accomplished its pur
pose, as the nominee now 'declares that
he never bolted Cleveland and Stevenson,
and will now take the stump in their behalf.
A great many New York City Democrats are
opposed to Sickles, and some have gone so
far as to denounce his candidacy as being
tho result of political blackmailing. It is
neatly 35 years since General Sickles
first went to Congress. When he was first
elected'to Congress be was the idol of the
young Democracy of New York. His tem
perament was such as would have made him
an ideal Southerner, for he was fiery, cour
teous, enthusiastic and politics was bis life.
Asa stump speaker in tbose days Sickles
was without a superior In his party in New
York City. lie was a bosom filend of James
T. Brady, who defended him after he had
committed the sensational murder of Key
in sight of the White House; and that event
overshadowed for the time being the ex
citement which the extraordinary politics
of tho day that pointed to rebellion created.
When Sickles quit Congress, he thought he
hadlelt politics forever, and there was no
more vehement denouncer or the secession
movement than he. Twice Minister to
Spain, he conducted some leal business in
the interim between these diplomatic ap
pointments which required exactly the
qualities which Sickles possessed, not a
great knowledge of law but nlenty of stern
courage. He has been Sheriff of New York
by appointment, has been a red-hot Repub
lican, a half way Republican, a mild Demo
crat, a rabid Democrat and even tempor
arily almost a Mugwump. He has a com
fortable lortune and requires no office on
that account.

"There is one thing sure. It doesn't take a
Baker's dozen of ballots to make a crazy
quilt."
A story comes from Buffalo concerning
Lieutenant Governdr William F. Sheehan,
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee of New York. He is known as "Blue
eyed Billy," and the other day was called by
legal business to Buffalo. There was a fore
closure suit on the docket of the Buffalo
court, and Sheehan was one of the lawyers
interested in the issne thereof. The salt was
on the calendar for immediate trial, and
Billy had to come. He sought to have the
trial postponed. True reform would suffer
if be were compelled to stay In Buffalo and
try that suit, said Billy. The lawyer on the
other side, a Republican, didn't want the'
case postponed. He was "ready with his
testimony ard law Dooks and said so.
Sheehan argued with him and then
pleaded with him. Finally the lawyer said:
"Go to my partner, Billy. Ho is a Demo
crat like yourself, and if he ogress to let the
case go over to the next term, I will not ob
ject. He is a good Cleveland man and I
lniaeine you will have no trouble with him."
I shoulan't have," replied Billy, "for 1 am
working night and dav to eloct his
scoundrel President of tho United States."
So far as appearances go Sheehan is desper
ately in earnest in behalf of the national
tioket. He is a youncr man. is full of hope.
and realizes that his own interest requires
an appearance, at least, of loyalty and in
dustry. Sheehan's programme is to elect a
Democratic AssemDiy so tnac senator uis
cock can be taken Out and Flower be pnt Into
the United States Senate. In that event Shee
han will become Govornor, sorve out
Flower's unexpired term, and then be nomi
nated himself tor the offico and a full term.
Shcohan is said to be particularly anxious
to have the national ticket run well In
Buffalo, where he personally controls the
organization.
A Detroit roan .offered to bet a moderate
sum that ho could name a city of over 100,000
inhabitants south of Mason and Dixon's line

The bet was eagerly accepted and the De
troit man 'won. He named Washington,
D. C.
That supreme confidence which is such
a featuro of General Weaver's-personality
has not been shaken even by recent political
evonts in the South. While the General
was being interviewed the other day Mrs.
Lease took a seat at one side and interjected
comments and corrections and fired an oc
casional shot at the "dying parties." Calmly
and with apparent sincerity she metaphori
cally laid the Republican nnd Democratic
"parties on the shelf, and announced that tho
People's party was marching on to sure vic
tory. "The third party movement Is uni
versal In this country, and' Us lnfluenco will
prove Irresistible," said General Weaver.
"While I do not care to give ateatimute of
the vote, it will surprise the leaders of the
old patties. The power and lorco of the new
movement are everywhere. There has been
nothing like It since the sixties! The battle
is hot all along the line, our leaders are en
ergetic and aggressive in every part of the
country, and we will sweep everything be
fore us. Their treatment of usin Georgia was
as bad as pain ted.and Isee the omelet belt has
extenueaas lar as ivansas. xno noouium
element in towns and cities, comprising
Democratic olubs backed by the politicians,
seek to terrorize the honest citizens, the
people who demand a fair vote and honest
government." Mr. Weaver and his vigorous
lieutenant dononneed the directory of the
Columbian Exposition in ignoring the
People's party in the approaching cere
monies, and predicted the resentment of
millions of voters, denominating such
action as an insult to tne(fariners and labor.
ers of the nation.
TiiERais said to be some talk In Susque
hanna county of ex-Speaker Gulusliu A.
Grow for United States Senator. Mr. Grow
is probably not a candidate. Ho in ado 'a
strong canvass for the Senatorshlp a dozen
years ago, and was defeated by the opposi
tion of Senator Cameron.
The political correspondent of the. Phil
adelpliia Public Ledger hns been Investigat
ing the situation in New York and leports a
lack of 'definite information. He says that
when, on October 29, the last day ofiegis
tration is ended, and an approximation of
the total voto can be figured out, it will bo
time to form a fair estimate of tho result.
And even then the leaders may be far off in
their reckoning. Last year, Mr. Piatt, whose
sources of lnloimation ought certainly to
have been of the best, confidently predictod
that tho full Bepubiican vote above the
Harlem would bo polled for Fassett. The
lesnlt is well known; ic was the failnroof
country Republicans to vote that defeated
Fassett with a slaughter such as has not
overtaken any candidate since Folger.
Richard Croker, who bas the reputation of
being a close' tlgnrer, and most conserva
tive In his predictions, declared last
vear that Tammany would give
Flower 70,000 to 80,000 majority. Yec
on election night it was levealed
that Flower's majority in this city was only
09,000. So the best of Judges may lall in
thoir estimates of results, and there aro es
special reasons this year why it should be
difficult to forecast tho deolsion of election
day. Chairman Harnty, of the National
Democratic Committee, spoke in the most
confident; way of the Democratic outlook in
New York. Murphy, Sheehan, Croker and
the leaders are, he said, working strenuous
ly and laithfully for the success of the na
tional ticket and were entirely confident
that tho State wonld cast its electoral voto
for Clevelnnd and Stevenson. At the He
publican headquarters the managers appear
equally confident of the success of Harri
son. Republicans believe that the Cleve
land tide has readied its height and has
now begun to ebb, and that from now on
Harrison will continue to grow in popnlar
strength.
Perhaps more people have read the
Constitution in this canvass than In any re
cent similar length of time.

November 11 is the day appointed by tho
Cincinnati Presbvtery for tho trial of Prof.
Henry Preserved Smith for heresy. His
case is only second in interest to that of Dr.
Briggs. On some mooted points he holds
more advanced views that his illustrious
New Yoik compeer. Prof. Smith is the
grandson of a Unitarian minister or New
England, and there are those who think
that the heresy of ancestors is now cropping
out in a child of the third generation. When
tho head or this branch of the Smith family
was on his way to America a irreat storm
arose at sea, and the preservation of his lire
perpetuated the name "Preserved" in the
tamlly. Prof. Smith's father, Henry Pre
served Smith, or Dayton, O., was one of the
grandest men of his day, very wealthy and
a generous supporter of Lane Seminary.
It is generally believed that the son was
called to a professorship in the institution
chiefly through the benefactions of the
lather.
The young professor went on in a common
place way until the Briggs heresy began to
bloom. Then it was Smith began to trouble
the pool at Lane. About 18 months ago Prof.
Smith read a paper to the Cincinnati Minis
terial Association on "Inspiration." The
views expressed in this paper surprised and
alarmed the majority of the ministers;
Prof. Evans also read on the same subject
and the two papers were published In
pamphlet form and circulated'through the
whole church. The students in tlwe semi
nary took up tbe discussion and the vacant
churches began to steer clear or such men
for supplies. Many of tbe students huve left
Lane, some coming to Allegheny Sem
inary, so that the present attendance
at Lane with its five professors and
1500.000 of property is barely one dozen
students. Presbytery refused to license one
student on aoconnt or doctrinal unsound
ness. Another was considered shaky. Dr.
mith's views were naturally regarded as
tbe cause of all this, and tho Piesbytery
appolnted a "Committee on Errors," which
reported last April that thev were ready to
report. The report was, however, post
poned until June on account of sickness in
Prof. Smith's familv. In the meantime tbe
professor went to Europe, so tho case could
not come up until September. The majority
of the Presbytery believes Smith's views are
antagonistic to the doctrines of the oliurch,
and that bo violates his ordination vows in
propagating his views. Thoy think Mr.
Smith should go to a more congenial church
and they propose to assist him out of tbe
Presbyterian Church.
At the meeting of the Cincinnati Presby
tery last Monday, Pror. Smith was formally
indicted for heresy. Tbe first charge is that
he holds that doctrinal qualification Is re
requlied only at ordination. It is also
charged that he teaches erroneons doc
trines on inspiration. Ho holds that the
writer or Chronicles suppresses certain his
torical truths, and that Isaiah did not write
the 27 last chapters of his book.
The proposed trial excites great interest
in Cincinnati.
ANDY JOHNSON A FENIAN PLOTTER.
Startling Bevelatlons From the Pen of Le
Caron, the Notorious Spy.
Lotjdos, Oct. 19. Tho reminiscences of Dr.
Le Caron, the spy lor the British Govern
ment, who gained such unfavorable
notoriety by his disclosures on behalf
of the Timet before the Parnell Commission,
have been made public. In regard to the
projected Fenian inv.ision of Canada ha de
clares that when he and General O'Neill
were received at the White House in Wash
ington, by President Johnson, the President
tola General O'Neill that he sympathized
with the Fenians and he was willing to do
all in his power to assist the Fenian move
ment. "You muss remember," said Presi
dent Johnson, "that I gave you full five
days before issuing the Droclamation stop
ping you. In God's name, what more did
you want! It you could not get there in
five daj s. by , you could never get there.
And then as President I was compelled to
enforce the neutrality laws or be denounced
on every side."
Le Cat on guys the Clan-na-Gael's wild plans
included a treaty with Russia to manufact
ure a submarine torpedo boat to inflict ter
rible damage on the British Navy; a plot to
assassinate the Queen, kidnap tbe l'rinco of
Wales and rescue Michael Davitt from
prison. In describing an interview with
Parnell in Parliament, he declares that Par
nell's remarks were a bombshell to him. He
says: "Parnell confessed his belief that
nothing but the force of arms would accom
plish the final redemption of Ireland. He
went carefully into details on the League's
resources for an open movement of insur
rection and said they had X 100,000 In the
treasury. He discussed tho position of home
and American revolutionary organizations
and recommended the American policy."
Le Caron then gives the text of a secret cir
cular prepared for a dynamite campaign in
tho event of Mr. Gladstone's home rulo
scheme being inadequate. He gives a
giaphic account of Egan's clever escape
from tho countiy after the Phoenix Park
murders. Ho t.ays IUan was the last per
son In the world one would take for a con
spirator. AKXI0US SEMINARY DIBECTOBS.
Tho Disposition of a Million Dollars Is a
Troublesome Question.
New Yomr, Oct. 19. Anxiety is felt by the
19 directors or Union Theological Seminary,
who voted to sever the seminary's connec
tion with tho General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, as to the disposition of
over $1,000,000 which was donated to that in
stitution during its loyalty to the Presby
terian faith.
Those donors who oppose tho Seminary's
action are Russell Sage, who gave $5,000;
Marcellns Hartley, who gave $5,000; William
G. Rltch. trustee or Fajerweathor estate,
$50,000, and the heir or ex-Govemor F. D.
Morgan, $400 0J0, and it is possible that action
may be instituted against the seminary
taking tbe funds from them and placing ft
in tho hands or Rev. Dr. Booth. Inasmuch
as Dr. Booth's l esisrnatfon from the direc
torate is likely to occur in the near future,
the remaining directors are feeling nneasy.
Dr. Booth's position is well known. Ho held
from the first that tho contract made by the
Seminary with the General Assembly in 18S0
could not be abrogated in good faith.
