m$SlT FEOU THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
trTiOM A STATP COBHEsrOXDEXT.1
Washington, Dec 17. Democratic
leaders in the House are growing reticent
in tbeir expression ot opinion in regard to
the extra session, on account of their
deubt as to the attitude of the President
elect. In their enthusiasm for re
form with a big R, they do not forget
that Sir. Cleveland will have the appoint
ing power alter the 4th of March, and that
for their own sakes they will need to be in
te-Kck with the President, as every one of
them will have friends to serve, and who
ast perforce be served if the members
would save their own prestige and power at
houi-e.
Nothing is mow forlorn than a leader
who is at swords poiuts with tne President
of his parly, especially at the outset of a
new administration. After awhile, when
he Urs had all the favors be wants, he can
aflferd to be independent. Therefore, while
the Democratic leaders who have favored
the extra session have not abated one jot ot
tbeir enthusiasm for the b;ginningof re
torsi at once, they hope to be able to con
quer in a friendly way all opposition of
Mr. Cleveland to their views, and so retain
bis friendship and confidence while making
tbeir point.
Easy :o Organize This Congress.
One of these leaders, in conversation with
the correspondent of The Dispatch to
av, said that in his estimation the
dtiieulutrs of the situation bad been much
fsaggcrated, and that Mr. Cleveland had
accepted the scare literature in newspapers
rather than his own analysis of the situa
tion, or that ot some calm investigator who
placed the value of his own figures higher
inan me impulsive siaieuieuis ui suf-iuui-mi
eentionalists.
"It Mr. Cleveland finds out how easy the
ne Congress cau be organized," said this
leader in the House, "and how easily the
tanfl can b" revised and tne strain upon the
'i leasury ot the United States relieved, I
sua corrinced that he will be anxious as
ny o. us tor an extra session or a change of
the law providing tor the regular meeting
of Congress in March each year.
"The House will be organized with very
little trouble. Crisp will undoubtedly be
re-elected Sneaker. There will be no great
change in the corps ot clerks and other em
ptoyes oi tbi House. Little change will be
ticcessary in me composition of the House
caBMaittecs. Xeirly all the leading mem
Iwrs ct tho committees are re-elected and
will hold their places where they arc The
v. hole re-arrangement cau be made within
o neck.
A Tariff Kill Kasy to Formu'ato.
There is no necessity for prolonging a
committee d.euvsion over the tariff bilk
Tue whole subject lias been so thoroughly
aaai; zed from every point of view within
the last .ew years that there is not a single
article on trie tree or duty list that is not
pertectlv familiar to, those "'who will have
in liand the work of drafting a new bill,
and the revision can be made almost as fast
as the items cau be read.
"Vc shall put a tax on sugar and repeal
the su?ar bounty, and that will add about
563,000,0) to tiie income of the Govern
ueal. Vi'e shall increase the tax on" whisky
to en extent that will add 535,000,000 more.
Tiutt will be 100,000,000 more annually
than is bow received, and merely from two
articles. In these instances we shall add to
the taxation, but in such way that the im
position will not be felt
"Then we shall judiciously reduce the
tariff that the industries ot the country
incT not be sciiously disturbed in any
branch, and tins will give an impetus to
importations that vi ill largely add to the
revenues irom that source Within three
months a ter the meeting of Congress at An
earir session, extra or regular, we can have
tlieinnaev liowiug into the Treasury at a
rate tuat will place that institution abso
lutely beyond the danger of depletion, and
lil.erai appropriations can be made for in
ternal improvements and development,
without the danger of a big deficiency. I
say it can all be done before the beginning
ot" (lie heated term. Sec?"
Of course every one will admire the con
fderee ot this gentleman, and recognize
the laenltv with which the Democrats will
grasp the situation and save the country.

A Stir in Salvation Army Circles.
A great ,!-!ia been marie in Salvation
Army chcles this week by the advent of a
pretty English captain, who charms every
body by her manner and her speeche's.
She wants particularly to build up the
auxiliary branch of the army, which feems
to be composed of people who like to
engage in. the work, but who do not
care to kneel down fu the streets to pray,
or to march publicly and beat drums and
tamborines. Quite a ripple of surprise
and comment has been caused in press cir
cles by the public announcement that H.
B. McFariand, the well-known correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Xecord, had, with
bis wife, taken an active part in the Salva
tion meetings of the week.
Mrs. McFariand is a daughter of Com
missioner Douglass one of three executive
officials ot the District. Mr. McFariand
has never been one ot the Bohemian literary
circle, but it was not thought by his lricnds
that liis tastes would lead him quite Salvation-Army
ward. He seems to be
thoroughly in earnest, however, and to
take a deep religious pleasure in
the methods ot the organization nhich bids
fair to become soon the fashionable relig
ious body ot this and other countries,
though it'is but a few years since its devo
tees were frequently the victims of mobs
and always the victims of the scorn of every
other organization.
THE SYSTEM IMPERFECT.
"eleker Complains of the Manner of
Kooning Paper Currency Account.
"Washington, Dec 17. United States
Treasurer Nebeker, in his annual report,
makes the following significant remarks in
regard to the present system of paper cur
rency accounts:
The present methods of keeping account
of tlieUsue and redemption of paper money
are Imperfect and unsatisfactory. They do
not afford the certainty ot correctness de
sirable in a buiness of the magnitude to
wlucli this lias grown. There being no
record of tue redemptions beyond a simple
entiy of date, denomination and amount,
the safeguards against errors are insuf
ficient. The sole leliance lor accuracy Is in
the examination which the notes receive in
passing through the department. A inis
nite or description in the original schedule,
If notdi-coveiedbeioro tho destruction ot
the notes, would probably be perpetuated.
Worse than this, duplicate numbers, or
numbers never regularly isucd, would ba
passed without suspicion. In either case,
the fact of an error having occurred mizht
not be brought to light lor years, and then
only by the condition of the account. If,
lorexample, in the course ot tho liquidation
of a particular issue -m overdraft should :ip
peai, tho :ct or some lriegnlnrity would be
patent, but tho correction, or even the loca
tion of the irregularity itself, might be im
possible. While some improvement might perhaps
bo made in tho details of tho present
method, it is doubtful it any svstem short of
a complete numerical registry of every
note, with the dates of issuo and redemp
tion, nould be entirely satisfactory. Such
lecords would not only be a valuable check
ngaint the occurrence" of errors, but would
also bear upon their face a certain ovidence
ot their own integrity ana anoru tne means
of tracins and correcting any mistakes that
might creep in.
WADE HAMPTON WAHTS NOTHING.
South Carolinans Cin't Tempt Him With

"Washington, Dec. 17. George C.

follower oi General Wade Hampton, wrote
to him and urged him to reconsider his res
olution refusing to again enter South Car

SOCIALISM OUTVOTED
Fully Three to One in Test Issues
by the Federation of Labor.
MERCY ASKED FOR ANARCHISTS.
Gompers Ee-Uected and Salaries of All
tflicers Increased.
CLOEIXG SESSION FULL OF BUSINESS
PniLADELrniA, Dec. 17. At the last
day's session of the American Federation
of Labor, resolutions were adopted, calling
on all local unions affiliated with the Feder
ation to join Central labor bodies holding
charters from the Federation; condemning
the Hock Island Kailroad system for re
quiring its telegraph operators to withdraw
from their organization; asking that sailors
be included under the provisions ot the
alien contract law; condemning the system
of advance wages to sailors; favoring
changes in the patent laws so tbat inventors
will receive a direct reward; condemning
the Baron Hirsch fund nnd its charitably
assisted recipients and demanding restric
tion of immigration; condemning the sys
tem compelling waiters to shave oS their
mustaches and favoring the eight-hour sys
tem for them.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
asking clemency for the Chicago Anarchists,
Fielding and Schwab. Emboldened by this
success, one of the Socialists.present, Dele
gate Morgan, of Chicago, introduced a sub
stitute for a resolution favoring Govern
ment control of telegraph and telephone
lines.
Socialists Outvoted Three to One.
The Socialist element wanted a resolu
tion asking that the Government control all
means of communication, transportation
and production. Morgan insisted on a roll
call to test the sense of the Federation on
this proposition, and the result was a defeat
for the Socialists by a vote ot 1,028 to 527.
Even some of the delegates of pro
nounced views voted against the resolution,
owing to the indefinite nature of the de
mand, when the original was passed with
an amendment asking Government control
of railroads.
Resolutions affirming the previous con
ventions advocacy of woman's suflrage
and asking for legislation to protect trade
union marks were adopted, and various
resolutions asking legislation against the
Chinese were favorably recommended to
the next Executive Council.
Differences between the Socialists and
autonomists wereaired when n resolution was
reported, asking Congress either to pass
legislation compelling the adjustment of
labor disputes by arbitration, or the sub
mission of a constitutional amendment per
mitting such legislation. The Socialistic
representatives favored the measure as a
step toward Government control of all pro
ductions, and characterized its opponents
ss Anarchists, charging that they objected
to it as they objected to all government
The Frlncip le of Arbitration All Bight
President Gompers and others argued
that compulsory arbitration might prove a
dangerous weapon against labor interests
should it fall into the hands ofcapit.il. The
question was finally settled by the adoption
of a substitute, which emphatically ap
proved the principle of arbitration, but
recognized its impotency where the workers
involved are not lully organized.
The President was instructed to vfsit the
coming National Conventions of Machinists
to endeavor to harmonize the two conflicting
bodies, which are divided by the recogni
tion ot a color line in one of them. Nu
merous resolutions for the organization of
various workers into national unions were
referred to the Executive Council, together
with a resolution to aid the National 'Long
shoremen in their eiiorts to obtain recogni
tion tor their union in Buffalo.
In thf afternoon the annual election of
officers was called for as the regular order,
but the Federation first decided to vote m
the amount of salaries paid. President
Gompers" salary was increased from 51,500
to 51,800 per annum.
, More Salaries Are Raised.
Before proceeding further resolutions
were adopted recommending that chiefs and
superintendents of Government bureaus be
selected irom the trade in which the skilled
workmen employed in the bureau are en
gaged; favoring municipal, State and na
tional civil service reform; favoring' free
aud compulsory education, and instructing
the Executive Council to prepare a bill to
that effect Numerous other resolutions
advocating various reforms were reported
unfavorably and quashed.
The salarv of the Secretary was increased
from ?l,200'to 51,500.
There nas no opposition to President
Gompers' re-election. Christopher Evans
was in like manner re-elected Secretary.
A contest developed for the Treasurer's
office, Tohn B. Lcunon, the present incum-
nent, being elected over Henry Weisraann.
P. J. Maguire was elected First Vice Presi
dent For Second Vice President, William
A. Carney, of Pittsburg, who took an active
part in the Homestead troubles, was elected
by a large majority.
A Halt to Be Called on Boycotts.
A large number of boycotts were indorsed
by the committee, to whom they had been
referred, together with a recommendation,
as the boycott is being made ineffective by
indiscriminate use, that herealter they can
not be approved unless requested under
seal of an affidavit
Chicago secured the convention for 1893,
after a close fight against the claims of
Denver.
A resolution favoring direct elections by
the people was passed unanimously. The
Executive Council was authorized to con
duct a campaign of education by appoint
ing lecturers and buying literature to en
large the scope of the Federation's efforts
in the direction of political action.
Under the guise of expenses, S100 was
added to the Treasurer's salary. Other
resolutions were concurred in, favoring
labor representation' in Congress and the
Chinese immigration act After the usual
complimentary communications and resolu
tions, Vice President P. J. McGuire de
livcied the peroration preceding final ad

SAT0LLI NOT SUPREME.
AN EDITOR'S CONTRIBUTION TO
CATHOLIC CONTROVERSY.
THE
He S3ys That Archbishop Ireland Was the
Only Prelate at tho New York Conclave
That Sided With ttie' Ablegato-What
the Decision of the Sleeting Means.
STr- Louis, Dec. 17. Conde B. Pallen,
editor of the Church Progress, who has made
no secret of his hostility to .Archbishop
Ireland's school projects, was asked to-day
to reply to the interview with the prelate
published this morning. He spoke as fol
lows: Mgr. Ireland does exactly what he accuses
his opponents of (loins: that is, attempting
to cieite public opinion in his own favor.
Ills whole interview is nothing more than
an appeal to what he calls the "American
mind," or. in reality, to secular public opin
ion in I his country. We would llfeo to know
what secular opinion in this country has to
do with the settlement of the school ques
tion by tho Church itself! Secularism has
always been in tho history ot the Church an
antagonistic factor, in as much as it usually
lenreseuts the oniulon of the world: and wa
may lay down asa fundamental axiom, that
tho wonu, the uesn nna tne uevn are ever a
tilple alliance in combination against tho
spiritual interests of the Church.
Notwithstanding Archb'shop Ireland's
statements that Mgr. Satolll is vested with
pen ipotentiary poweis to settle tho school
question, we havo no evidence to that
effect. On the contrary both Archbishop
Katzcr and Arclibishon Elder have publioly
declared that Mm'. Satolll had no such
powers, and, moreover, the fact that tho
ArchbUhops in their recent confeienco re
fused to subscrihe to Mgr. Satolli's views is
veiy clear evidence that those views were
not supported by the welsht of the Pope's
authority. If they had been. Archbishops
could scaicely have point blank rejected
them.
Tho rjrincinles of the Council of Baltimore,
which'thoy lealUrmcd, especially the third,
explicitly and definitely declare that the
secular or public bchool education in this
country is not only dangerous to the integ
rity ot tho ( athollc faith, but they command
Catholics to eschew it alto-ether and hulld
their own schools. Aichbishop li eland's
statement that to the Chinch belongs re
ligiuus instruction only, and to the Suite the
light of secular education, apart from re
ligious training, is in radical opposition to
the Councils of Baltimore, and to the re
peated public teaching of Leo XIII.
The assumption in Archbisnop Ireland's
interview, that his position on the school
question is, also, the position of theAmeii
can Catholic mind.seuma to tne fantastically
overstrained, for ho was the only one in the
entire conference who was ready to auh
scribe to Jlgr. Satolli's school propositions.
To a certain extent, tho Archbishop's dec
laration that there is diffeience of opinion
among tho hierarchy in this matter, is true,
If we leave his own dissenting views out of
consideration. We may, also admit that
the controversy is "virtually closed, for the
unanimous agreement of tho hieraietiy, al
ways excepting himself, ot couiso, makos ic
very evident that the l'uriDanlt plan or any
other scheme to bepatate religious from
secular education, is diametrically opposed
in the convictions of tho hierarchy in tho
United States.
O'lJAEA IS PUZZLED.
An Ebensbnrg Girl Who Tells Conflicting
Stories About Her Fathrr.
Superintendent O'Mara doesn't know
what to do with a young girl now In cus
tody at the Central station. He declines to
give her name, as it might wreck her
lile. She is 17, pretty, and her parents,
who live in Ebensburg, are respectable
church people. She was found Friday
night in a disorderly house down
town after a three days' life in the place.
Her father came to the city on Friday and
appealed to Superintendent O'Mara to find
and leclaim her. She was found, but she
told a horrible story about her father, and
accused him of a crime against her. The
parent and child were brought face to face
aud again she accused him, but he never
changed color, aud denied it most emphat
ically. The Superintendent was puzzled
and decided not to give, her to the lather,
and suggested that she be allowed to stay
here lor a day or two, which the father
agreed to, and the girl was again detained
at Central station.
Yesterday she confessed that she had lied,
and said she would go home. The lather
was telegraphed to come and take her, but
he sent word to send her home and he
would meet her. But now the Superintend
ent has changed his mind, and last night
concluded to keep her for a day or two, as
he does not know whether to believe the
girl's first or last story, and she is still in
custody.

New Particulars of the Massacre ot Fan
Tgnacio on the Eordcr.
THE REYOIiT CONSIDERED A FIASCO
WAsniNGTOX, Dec. 17. The Mexican
Government, through Don Cayetano
Komero, Charge d' Affaires of the Mexican
legation, has officially called the attention
of the United States Government to the
recent raid into Mexico of citizens of
Mexico at San Ygnacio, who formed on the
American side'-of the line. Secretary
Foster.of the State Department,has,in turn,
communicated with the War Department,
and has asked that additional United States
troops be stationed on the Mexican border
to prevent these excursions. Another regi
ment has been ordered to the Ilio Grande.
No serious trouble is anticipated. A high
official said this morning tbat it the Mexi
can Government had one-tenth the force on
on the American border that the United
States had on its side, these raids could not
1 take place.
The Mexican Government, through Pres
ident Diaz, has ordered the Federal au
thorities ot the State of Tamaulipas to
make an exhaustive investigation into the
outrage opposite San Ygnaeio. About 5,200
revolutionists are still in Mexico. The
camp of the bandits has been situated on
Mexico soil and within a few miles of the
Mexican garrison which was attacked.
The revolutionist?-, alter completing the
massacre, drove the remnants of the garri
son across the Eio Grande river. The sur
viving soldiers sought refuge in San
Ygnacio, Texas, where they still reman:,
fearing to return to Mexico, believing they
will be tried as deserters and shot. Mexi
can troops are now on the trail of the de
tachments of the revolutionary bandits, who
are believed to be making for the lotver
part of the State of Tamaulipas.
Commander Manuel Garcia claims he
was warned by the United States military
authorities that the Mexicans were gather
ing at the Kio Grande border counties, but
no serious attempts bad been made by the
United Slates troops to disperse the lawless
ba nds. It is generally regarded as a fiasco
as a revolutionary movement.

Talmage's Church Levied on for Debt The
Contribution Boxes May Bo Tacked To
Day Novel Way to Collect a Church
Debt.
New Yoek, Dec. 17. Special
Sheriff Courtney's officers last night in
vaded the big Biooklyn Tabernacle and
took possession of the property. They car
ried with them an execution issued by
Justice Bartlett, of the Supreme Court, in
the suit of Decorator Alfred E.
Tong against the trustees. Mr. Tong
had the contract for painting the
Tabernacle, but his bill has never been
paid. About a year ago the trustees gave
Mr. Tong two notes, for 550 25 and 5549 C8
respectively, in liquidation of his claim.
"When the case finally came to trial the
Tabernacle withdrew its defense to the first
note, and on December 7 judgment was en
tered on the other by default.
While a few o the trustees and other
leading members ot Dr. Talmage's flock
were in the vestry room, prior to the Fri
day evening lecture, the Sheriff's represen
tative entered and announced that he had
come to take possession of the church aud
its property, and to place a man in charge.
The trustees submitted gracefully to the
inevitable. Mr. Cunningham left one of
his attendants in charge, and he remained
in the church during the night
Sheriff Courtney said to-night: "Under
Sherifl McLaughlin told me this evening
that he had received a telephone message
from Lawyer Shaffer, asking him to have
one of his deputies at the services to-morrow
to levy on the boxes after the collection had
been taken up, but whether that will be
done or not was not determined upon."
There are various mechanics' liens and
other debts hanging over the Tabernacle,
and notes, to the amount of $75,000, it is
said, will soon become due, and the treasury
of the church is not in a condition to meet
them. The trustees all sav that Dr. Tal
mage and the Tabernacle will come out on
top in the end.

ISrECIAI. TKLEGRAM TO TOT. DTSrATCIt I
Enirj, Pa., Dec. 17. After a fourteen
years' search of the United States and
Canada, William Bowman has found in this
city Joseph Shields, his cousin, and an
heir with hifci to a vast estate in England.
Twenty-one years ago John Shields, an
English dealer in stock and real estate, died
intestate, leaving an estate of 1,000,003 or
about 55,000,000. All his children died
without issue except James, who left four
children, two sons and two daughters. One
of the latter married a man named Hornuug
and died, leaving ber husband two children.
Meanwhile, the other daughter had married
a man named Bowman, and with her son
went to Canada. One son, John, has no
children aud is still living. Jacob, the
other son, who had come to this country,
left one child, Jacob Shields, of this city.
When John Shields died his grand
children and great grandchildren were all
scattered with the exc?ption of Hornung
and his children, who still lived in Lon
don. They set np a claim to the estate, but
as they could not prove the death of the
other heirs, the estate has remained in the
Court of Chancery ever since.
Bowman is the son of the daughter who
went to Canada. After his mother's death
he commenced an immediate search for
his cousin so a to establish their claims to
a portion of the e3tate and have it settled.
It lias developed in value very much in '21
years.
The case hai bca put in the hands of
James A. Yeast, an eminent Canadian law
yer. Dnring Bowman's long tramp, he has
supported himself working at the barber's
trade and painting. He claims he ka re
ceived many threatening letters, warning
him to quit his search. Jacob Shield?,
whom Bowman has found after his long
search, is a molder in Black & Gernier's
Star Foundry, and live? at 248 E.ist Four
teenth street. His good fortune lifts him
from comparative poverly to affluence.

The Itichmond Terminal Kecelver Makes a
Sensation Vccuses Inman anil Others
With Fraud, Conspiracy and Breach ol
Trust Bill or (Jomplalnt llleil.
NewTobk, Dec. 17. Walter G. Oak
man, of the Kichmond Terminal Company,
this morning filed copies of a bill of com
plaint against members of the Georgia syn
dicate, which iu 1838 sold a controlling in
terest in the Georgia Central Itailroad to
the Terminal Company. Keceiver Oaknian
claims that in October, 1S3S, when the
Terminal Company made the purchase,
the securities ot the Georgia Company had
no established or available value. Oa
October 23, 18S8, Iteceiver Oakman says, E.
Lehman, acting for himself and associates,
made a proposal totbeTerminal Company to
purchase the entire capital stock of the
Georgia company, consisting of 120,000
shares at f33 per share. The receiver
charges that the syndicate conspired to sell
the Terminal Company their unsalable and
discredited securities at such price as yielded
an enormous profit and imposed on the
Terminal Company a heavy loss. The re
ceiver charges that the deal was contrived
to put money into their pockets.
The complaint covers 27G printed pages.
Accusations of fraud, conspiracy and breach
of trust arc brought against ex-Pre3ident
John H. Inman and Directors Calhoun,
Swaun and Wormser, and the members of
the Georgia Syndicate Company. Keceiver
Oak man's suit involves the restitution of
an amount estimated at 8,000,000.
The summons requests that the defense de
liver to Boot & Clarke, the plaintiffs at
torneys, in 20 days their answers to the suit
which will be brought in the Supreme
Court in the January term.
John H. Inman was seen by a reporter
to-day, but he declined to discuss the mat
ter. He said simply: "Let them coma
along with their suit. I am ready for
them."
Bcceiver Oakman wa3 in consultation
with Messrs. Boot & Clarke all the fore
noon. To a reporter he said: "We have a
strong cise. It is too late for a compromise
now. We will go right on with the case,
and will, I think, surely win it. Some as
tonishing revelations will be made."
