The Special Meeting of the Re

CALLED TO SETTLE THE DISPUTE.
It Is Claimed the Executive Committee
Lied on I lection raj.
FACTIONAL BTErGGLE FOE CONTEOL
The ostensible object of the speoinl meet
ing of the Bepubliean National Committee
to be held shortly in Xew York is sup
posed to be to look after the election of
United States Senators The control of the
next benate is an important matter, and the
activity of the Democratic steering organi
zation has aroused the Republican mana
gers. This reason was given out by mem
bers of the committee, and in view of the
donbtful Senatorial situation was accepted
as legitimate by the public
However, the reticence of Chairman Car
ter, who issued the call, and the way in
which members like Sam Fessenden and
Joseph Manley dodged the issue when
asked about the purpose of the coming
gathering were considered strange. Yester
day the truth about the object of the meet
ing leaked out There is a serious division
in the committee over the national chair
manship, and it is within the bounds of
possibility that Clarkson will succeed Car
ter. The Montana man is anxious to hold
the job, but the chances are that he will be
forced to the wall. In view of the fact that
permanent headquarters are to be estab
lished, the position of chairman takes a big
jump in importance. Indeed, in the present
condition of the party, the chairman for the
next four years will be practically the
leader.
The Opportunity for a Strong Man.
"With Blaine probably on his deathbed
and President Harrison overwhelmingly
defeated, the cry goes up for a Moses to
guide the children out of the wilderness. It
is argued that not since the formation of
the party has such an opportunity been pre
sented for strong and new men to jump in
and make a name for themselves. The
Blaine and Harrison factions, though
the names are hardly appropriate
sow, are well represented in the committee,
and a regular lively contest is expected
when the meeting takes place. Under a
count of noses the Blaine men claim they
have a majority of iour votes, and if Carter
retires a follower of the Plumed Knight,
will be selected. He will have a great op
portunity to steer the party his way for the
next four years, and hence the great im
portance attached to the chairmanship at
this time. The Blaine people will not per
mit the place to be held by a Harrison man
if they can prevent it.
The Blaine faction intend to oust Carter
by legal and parliamentary tactics. The
point is raised that the Executive Commit
tee, of which Carter is chairman, ceased
to exist after the election. James F.
Burke, assistant secretary of the committee,
.was in Washington last week securing cop
ies of the minute of theiprstxneeting when
Campbell, of Chicago, nas elected chair
man, to lay before the members.
l)e Young Claims the Position.
It is well known that M. H. Be Young,
of San Francisco, claims to be the Acting
Chairman ot the national organisation in
stead of Carter, and the object of the meet
ing is to settle this dispute. De Young is
Vice President, and bases his case on a
resolution that was offered by Sam Fessen
den last summer at the meeting in "Wash
ington when the committee organized.
After several hours of hot discussion it was
adopted, but was never published until
now. The resolution was to the effect that
the chairman ot the Executive Committee
should select the nine members of which it
is composed alter consultation with the
candidates, and that he should have full
control and management of the campaign
for 1892. This is the exact wording of the
resolution, according to the claims of the
Blaine people.
It will be remembered that Mr. Camp
bell was made Chairman of the Executive
and the National Committees. Owing to
business engagements he resigned, sending
his resignation to the Executive Commit
te wnich accented it. and he was succeeded
by Carter. At this point in the argument!
the Harrison people step in and say that, it
De Young's 'representations are correct,
then the Executive Committee did not
have the authority to accept Campbell's
resignation, and in reality he is still chair
man of both committees. M. H. De Young
insists that under the Fessenden resolution
the Executive Committee and Carter's
place no longer exist, and that as "Vice
President of the National Committee he is
the acting chairman.
Carter Only "Wants the Evidence.
It should be understood that the Execu
tive Committee is always selected to con
duct the active work of the campaign, and
the National Committee is advisory aDd
supervisory. It is reported that Chairman
Cuter has 'said that if Mi. De Youne can
produce the" resolution and show that It was
adopted, he will step down and out without
struggle. Mr. Burke states that he found
the resolution recorded on the minute
books of the National Committee at "Wash-
ington, and it will be put in evidence at 1
tbe meeting.
Whatever may be the outcome a lively
"scrap" is on the carpet M. H. De Young
r is an implacable opponent of President
Harrison, and it is quite apparent that
under the rules be can't succeed to the
Chairmanship as Vice President It was
learned also that the San Francisco editor
stands' no chance of being elected to the
place. His ability as a worker and zeal for
the Bepubliean cause are recognized by his
colleagues in the Blaine crowd, but the con
servative element thinks be was not born
to be a leader. Besides they are not sure
that Mr. De Young wants the job, and may
x be satisfied if Carter is retired. De Young
" claims he has nothing against the
Montana man personally,but the exigencies
of politics require a new deal all around.
As permanent headquarters will un
doubtedly be established in New York, the
time of the Chairman will be taken up con
stantly with the affairs ot the party, and it
is believed that Mr. De Young could not
desert his business for the place.
Clarkson Tired of Politics.
In the meantime Clarkson is being
pressed tor tne ioo oy mo xuaine contin

He started as soon as he was notified of the

would not be Chairman again, for he was
tired of polities and wanted to make some

Clarkson are warm personal friends, and
those who know him say that the Iowa
wheel horse will not take anv mean advap.
taee of Thomas. Just how the muddle will
be cleared up the publics will have to wait
patiently to see.
If Carter should find himself only Chair
man in name then the same line of reason
ing will apply to Secretary M. C. Coma, of
Maryland. He was chosen under tbe Fes
senden resolution. In short, all the officers
of the Executive Committee will print the
prefix ex in front of their titles unless re
elected. As lor the control of the Senate it is
given out that the jig is np so far as the Re
publicans are concerned. The Montana
Legislature looks Democratic, and it is con
ceded that Nebraska and Wyoming have
been captured by the fusionists.
PANIC ON A FERRYBOAT.
The Craft Refuses to Stop at the Slip and
Keeps On Up Street All the Passeneers
Frightened nd a Number of Them
More or Less Injured.
New Yoek, Dec. 26. The ferryboat
Fanwood, of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, while attempting to enter her slip
at the loot of Liberty street, at 12:15 o'clock
this morning, crashed into the bridge under
lull headway, driving thebridge up on West
street and breaking down the entrance to
the ferry house. On board the boat were
some 300 passengers, who were immediately
thrown into a panic
When the crash came four of the passen
gers, Mrs. Leamas, 65 years old, her 21-year-old
granddaughter, and her two son?, Ed
ward and Harry, were forced against the
guardrail ot the forward deck in the rush.
The girl became alarmed. The guardrail
flew open and the girl fell over the nose of
the boat into the water. With a scream the
old lady jumped in after her, and overwent
the two men into the icy Hudson. The
deck hands came to their assistance at once,
and with the aid of some of the passengers
the quartet were dragged baok on the boat
with ropes that had been thrown to them.
Early this morning the party which had
come from Philadelphia to spend the day at
Whitestone, L. L, started for their destina
tion, little tbe worse for their midnight
bath.
In the cabin of the boat several persons
were slightly injured. John Mason, of
Jersey City, was severely cut by glass and
was injured by being thrown violently to
the floor. The accident was caused by the
pin of the eccentric crank getting out of
order and refusing to work just as the boat
reached the slip.
A SINGULAR CASE.
Death of a 3Ian from Excess of Joy A
Husband's Sad Fate.
ALLEJfTOWlVP.A,, Dec. 26. The body ot
George Westlake, who died at Long Island
City, was interred a day or two ago at Cata
eanqna. His physician says be died of ex
cessive joy. He was a designer and
molder, and be and his wife, by 30 years'
work, had saved $15,000. He had been a
sufferer irom heart trouble lor many years,
and last August thev decided to return to
England and spend the remainder of their
lives in quiet. Arrangements were par
tially completed for the trip, and, prepara
tory to going, Mrs. Westlake started for
Boston to draw 5700 she had in bank there.
She got on the wrong boat, and, instead
of goinc to Boston, landed in New London,
Conn. She became hysterical when she found
where she was, and tore the bank books in
her possession to pieces. She grew so vio
lent that the authorities found it necessary
to lock her up in order to restrain her.
Mrs. Westlake grew more violent, and
finally lost her reason entirely. Mr. West
lake was induced to have his wife commit
ted to an asylum, and she was taken to
Middletown since then. Mr. Westlake had
been a frequent visitor to the asylum, but
recently the doctors told him that his pres-'
ence only aggravated the condition of his
wife and refused to allow him to see her.
He called frequently to the asylum, never
theless, but did not get to see his wife.
On Sunday ot last week Westlake was
taken ill, and Tnetday, when Dr. Kennedy
called, he learned that Westlake had re-'
ceived a letter from the doctor at the asy
lum notifying him that his wife was much
improved, and that he could call and see
her at any time. Dr. Kennedy savs that he
found his patient transported with delight
and very much agitated, and that West
lake, although very -weak, insisted on start
ing for the asylum. He gradually grew
worse from the excitement and finally
died.
A RICH THIEF.
An Aged and Wealthy Mother Jailed fer
Shoplittlnir In New York.
New Yoek, Dec. 2a Half fainting and
supported on either side by her two sons,
wealthy Mrs. "Eladia Bnbie" was arraigned
in the Jefferson Market Court yesterday
morning. She is 60 years old and well
known in New Bochelle. The name was
assumed.
While being searched the prisoner broke
down and wept hysterically. She was
richly dressed, said she had a fortune of
60,000, had sons living at the Knicker
bocker apartment house, Twenty-eighth
street and Fifth avenue, and begged that
they be notified. Although she offered
bail for herself she was locked up, but she
did not sleep. All night she sat in her cell
weeping and moaning.
The meeting between the mother and her
sons was must touching. They engaged
Lawyer Van Clelland to defend their
mother. Justice White held Mrs. "Bubie"
in $500 bail tor examination next Thursday.
One son offered a check for that amount,
but the Justice refused to accept anything
but real estate bail; so the prisoner was
committed to jail. When led away by De
tective Sullivan to be locked up both of the
sons kissed their mother, and as the big
iron doors shut her from the world the old
woman fainted, She ate her Christmas din
ner with 115 other prisoners.

Niagara. Fails, N. Y., Dec. 26. fip.
rfot A fearful tragedy was narrowly
avoided here last night George Barker, a
prominent resident here, a Mason of high
degree and photographer of national reputa
tion, suddenly went insane and attacked his
daughter, Marie Barker, a beautiful girl of
about 20 years. As she came downstairs
Barker knocked her down, kicked her, and
pulled her hair out in haudfnls.
Barker turned to get some weapon to
finish his daughter, when the girl flew up
stairs, locked her room door, raised a win
dow and shouted" for help. Alexander
Porters and a man named Bichardson sum
moned help and Barker was overpowered
and medical aid called in. Miss Barker is
in a critical condition, and tbe police have
Barker under guard. He is said to be sub
ject to these spells, but never before in
such a violent form. The affair is the so

THE PITTSBURG
WIND UP OF THE FUND
Homestead Children Pleased by a
Supplementary Distribution.
A GRAND TOTAL OP $1,153 96.
Toys Given to relight Them, Necessities
for the TerjKecdj.
TEACHERS WILL NOW TAKE CHARGE
From 9 o'clock yesterday morning until
late last night The Dispatch's supple
mentary distribution to the needy children
of Homestead continued in one uninter
rupted flow. Even then all the goods were
not distributed, aqd tbe balance Will be
given over to the Homestead School Board,
who will see that each and every little one
is supplied with what is necessary.
The bulk of goods for the little ones had
crown to enormous proportions, owing to
the splendid success of The Dispatch
fund. Letter? from the children, with
their pleading words, were published in
this paper and found a wide circulation
through Eastern papers copying them. As
a result the fund grew and grew. At &S00
it was called successful, at $900 it was a
splendid affair, and at $1,000 nothing more
could be asked.
But this was not all. Contributions to
the children's fund continued to flow in,
until last night the climax and winding up
figures were reached in the grand total of
?1,153 96, every dollar of which came from
those who gave freely and kindly, to those
who received most gratefully.
yesterday's Distribution of Necessities.
The supplementary distribution'of yester
day differed from that of Saturday in a few
respects, though both were for hut one ob
jectthe good of the children. Saturday's
distribution, with its music, light and
pleasure, was intended to add a little to the
delights of a Christmas eve. To that end
there was given to over 2,400 ohildren, can
dies, toys, dolls, sleds, etc., until each bad
their fill.
Yesterday the more severe work began
that of giving away the necessities to the
more needy. All afternoon and evening
the rooms on Sixth avenue were sought by
the deserving, and not one went away
empty handed. Coats, bats, shawls, .shoes,
and entire suits were given to those that
most apnreeiated them, and even then the
hundreds of applicants had not exhausted
the treasures of The Dispatch children's
fund, and the rest of the goods have been
given over to the care of the public and
parochial school teachers, who will see
personally that they do the most good pos
sible. To complete the success of the
children's fund the following were of great
assistance:

Laeedo, Tes., Dec. 26. Considerable
excitement was created here in military
circles, caused by the receipt of a telegram
from New Laredo over the Mexican lines
announcing that Lieutenant West
and his company of United States
troops came upon a band of bandits en
camped near the Alazan creek and killed
one and wounded another. Further partic
ulars are to the effect that the troops came
upon the camp first at night fall, Christmas
evening. The bandits were ordered to sur

troops.

Helena, Mont., Dec. 26. The fact that

interfere with a recount of the votes of that
county, including Box Elder precinct,
which was eliminated before, thereby elect

DISPATCH, .TUESDAY,
SEVENTH DISTRIBUTION,
GITT OF BOOKS TO SUNDAY SCHOOLS
BT KAUFMANNS.
The Number Scattered About 100,000
Candy, Picture Boohs nnd Other Qood
Things for the Homestead Poor
Cost of the Presents at
Least 812,000.
There were many presents given and ac
cepted in Allegheny county yesterday, but
there was one feature, whioh, besides giv
ing additional joy and brightness to the
fleeting day, will be remembered .with
gratitude and pleasure throughout tbe year
and will even stretch to some extent
through the years to follow. The one
Christmas gift which is useful and instruc
tive, as well as pleasing and ornamental, is
a handsome and entertaining book, illus
trated in a manner to place the solid con
tents before the reader in the most attrac
tive manner. . . ,
Testerday -was the occasion of Haul
mannj' soventli annual free distribution ot
picture books to the Sunday soliools or
Pittsburg, Allegheny -nnd surrounding
towns. The steady growth or this enter,
prlso has been remarkable. Seven years
ago only 10,000 volumes were distributed,
last year SO 000 volumes gladdened the hearts
or the Uttlo ones, and this season the num
ber distributed reached J00.0C0, Ton
times the original amount were
needed to meet ttie demands of the work.
This shows tHat the generosity or the Kanf
manns Is appreciated by the public as well
as church people. Kaon book contains 33
pages, handsomely bound and finely illus
trated. The cost of tbe books cannot be less
and very likely more than 15 cents apiece.
This would swell the amonntor this jear's
distribution to nearly $10,000. This is a large
amount, to be sure, yot small In the opinion
of tho KuulmannH when they consider tbe
result-100,000 happy children. Verllv 'tis
more blessed to give than receive. All day
long men with draya carrying large boxes
were busy landing tho books at the church
doors, and scholars and superintendents
spent the afteinoon arranging them on the
shelves. Next Sunday tbe children will
have a lot or new and entertaining books to
lead nnd blight and attractive stories to re
late to their iriends.
While these gifts were made entirely unso
licited, many letters were received by the
Kaufmanns from the ministers and the
buuday school superintendents, praising the
method adopted and the good results se
cured. They tell or tho Joy with which tho
children received the presents, and tne
brightness which the books cansed In many
a homo. They dispel the (doom or ennui
and make everybody more cheerful. The
little ones themselves express their pleas
ure in the most enthusiastio language, ana
Kaufmanns is to them a name synonymous
with Santa Claus. The number of books re
ceived by each church ranged all the way
from25tol,200,accoidlngto the size or tbe
church and the other attendant circum
stances. Some philanthropists seek to connect
their deeds with the greatest amount of
notoriety, but not so with the Kaufmanns.
They try to avoid it. Instead or advertising
the free dlstiibutioii or books, they simply
and quietly mailed circular letters to the
minlsteisor tbe cnurche, asking them the
nnmber of books required for their respec
tive Sunday sohools. The distribution was
made in an uuostentatious but pleasant
manner, and tbe girts were received in tho
same commendable spirit.
All the denominations were remembered,
and none were neglected. The Piesbyterlan,
United Presbyterian, Catholic, Baptist,
Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant,
Episcopal, Evangelical. Lutheran and a
nnmber or miscellaneous churcues were in
cluded in the list.
And the poor or Homestead were not for
gotten by the Kaulmanns.
The scene at the commissary, the little
building on the corner of Fifth avenue and
Amity street, which bad beea donated for
tho purpose of distributing supplies to tho
noedy families, almost baffled description.
When the reporter arrived on tho spot the
first installment was being served, and
throughout the day tho influx never ceased.
It had been heralded about that Kaufmanns'
had prepared a gruud Curfstuias treat for
tho little ones, and the eager, expectant
looks on the faces or the little tots was a
most pathetlo one as they came troopine
into tne commissi" uu '"" uu,iiu.
boisterously or in a forward manner, but
each ono awaiting his turn to be served.
Graterul-eyed mothers, leading little ones of
9 and 10 years, thankfully accepted their do
natlop. and, with tears or Joy in their eyes,
turned back to their homes happier thau
they had been for many a long day. "God
bless the Kottfnianns," said one woman,
whose eyes betrayed the Joyous emotion
she felt. "Their generosity has put good,
warm clothes on my boys' baoks."
Piles upon piles or candy bass lined the
counters or the commissary,,and the shelves
were linod with books. This huge display
set the scribe's mathematical machinery in
motion does not this great array represent
quite a larxe sum or money? With this iaea
in mind, tbe writer set to woik to estimate,
ir possible, tho cost of tho treat. There were,
at tbe very least calculation, 2,000 children
who participated in the distribution. As each
child received one pound or delicious sweets,
chocolates, bon-bons,' caramels, etc., this
would run the value of the candy alone up
to $1,000. When this, is added to about 2,000
picture books, it will be seen that the extent
of Kanrmanns' contribution to tbe Home
stead children's Christmas treat was not less
than $1,200, a surprising realization when
one comes to reckon it np. But this, how
ever. Is not tbe extent or Kanrmanns' gen
erosity, as everyone knows. Only last week
they sent $633 worth or clothing, wraps and
shoes to Michael Snerren, or the Pittsburg
trade council and he id of tho Belief Commit
tee. These goods came precisely in the nick
or time, nnd to-day many a man, woman and
child in Homestead is comfortably clothed,
who, but for Kaufmai.na' timely phihin
thronv. would have been exposed to the
cold. The Azures above can be depended
upon as being correot, and thus it will bo seen
that nearly $2,000 worth of supplies have
been sent to Homestead by Kaufmanns'
alone.
