PRIDE IS. ME
Tho Miners' Leaders Scoro
Each Other Bitterly.
COLUMBUS, ()., June 20.—There were
many sensational scenes in tho meeting of
Ohio miners hero yesterday afternoon,
charges of a serious character being hurled
back and forth bj Pi rident
of tho United .Mine Workers, and A. A. .
Adams, president of the Ohio miners.
The convention of Ohio miners adopted a
resolution inviting President Mcllride to
address the convention and explain tho I
compromise settlement of the strike. In j
doing so he handled J'resident Adams, '
who has led the opposition to the settle- 1
ment in this state without gloves, charg- 1
ing him with attempted treason to the j
cause and attempting to turn the strike ,
into anarchy, ami President Adams in i
his reply, which was even more bitter in
tone, charged Mcllride with duplicity and !
"selling out."
There were 44 delegates present, repre
senting, Secretary Pearse said, 63 local as
semblies and 9,000 members. No vote was
taken that showed the feeling toward the
settlement, but from the applause it
seemed that the delegates were about
equally divided on the question.
A resolution endorsing the action of the
Ohio executive board in stunding out for
70 cents was almost unanimously adopted,
but a speech by Representative Thomas,
of Stark county, advising that a resolu
tion he adopted requesting all Ohio miners
to go to work at once was enthusiastically
applauded.
The appearance of the national officers
in the convention at this time, however,
stopped further proceedings.
Before addressing the convention Presi
dent Me Bride wanted to know whether
they were instructed to vote against tho
settlement or not. If they were It was
useless to argue tho question. It was
found that about one-third of the dele
gates were so instructed.
Mcßride proceeded, after some hesita
tion. He spoke about an hour and showed
that at the annual convention hero tho
miners had reßolved to suspend work until
ordered in by the national officers; that
tho latter were authorized to make a con
tract for a year. At Iho Cleveland conven
tion the district presidents were added to
the national officers as a strike committee
into whose hands the whole matter was
put. From this point his recount of tho
strike closely followed his review of it
published last week. At tho time tho
strike committee decided to authorize local
settlement, said he, the strike was in im
minent danger of going to pieces in every
state but Ohio and Indiana. Ho gave tho
weakness of tho strike in these states and
the causes of it in detail. On May 26 the
local union at Gloucester, 0., President
Adams' home, wrote that tho miners were
starving, while from all sides came tho
cry "For God's sake end the strike, men
are ready to break."
Alluding to lawlessness and destruction
of property, he said much of it was iu
preparation and never reached the surface.
From one mining district the miners
wrote him that they had 14 cannon secretly
trained 011 a mine. The press, that h til
sympathized with us at first, turned
against us when lawlessness showed itself.
J hero was nothing in the Cleveland reso
lution requiring a national settlement.
Incidentally, he said he thought they
would have trouble in Pennsylvania main
taining the 69 cent rata President Adams,
he said, did not refuse to act on u sub-com
mittee of the strike committee appointed
after they had concluded to make the best I
local settlements possible, but after the
work was all done, refused to sanction it.
"When the other 19 members of the com- !
mitteo signed it," said Mcßride, "Adams
rolled his eyes toward heaven tragically
and said: 1 believe we can win; now is tho I
time to fight the differences between Jab >r I
and capital. There never 'was a lasting j
victory without bloodshed and I am ready |
for it now.' "
Then .Mcßride sailed into Adams rough '
shod. He charged that he was a traitor to
the cause, because he had tried to stir up |
dissension in the organization. He referred '
to Adams' apocalypses and to his stories j
that people were trying to assassinate him.
"Here is a man," said he, "not sane enough I
to run at huge, charging the national ofli- j
cers with selling out, and me with ending
the strike in tho interest of President |
Cleveland. Why is there a man here who •
does not know it would have been the I
crowning act of my life if I could have made I
a success of this strike."
Adams was presiding and said nothing j
except to deny that he had reported that
Mcßride had ended the strike in tho inter- I
est of the democratic party. President
Mcßride close! by saying that it made no
difference what this convention did.
"Four-fifths of tho minors of the state
have approved it," he said, "and gone to
work."
Secretary Mcßrydo spoke briefly, saying |
ho did not believe the strike could have j
held out a week longer.
Then President Adams took thefloorand
defended himself. He denied that he liad
acted in bad faith in tho strike committee.
He only obeyed the behest of the Ohio
miners, and he would take the same course
if he had todo it over again. By inference
he charged President Mcßride over and
over again with working with the opera
tors in -mling the strike and recounted a
story of how Mcßride and the operators ,
sought to do him violence through John I
Short, au ex-mine inspector, when lie re
fused to sign the scale. The speaker and I
Mcßride became involved in a question of
veracity, but after flat denials from both
shies, Adams resumed his vehement speech.
At 7o'clock the convention adjourne 1 until
to-day. It. will probably accept the settle
ment and order tho men back to work.

Alleged Defects in the Now Dry
Docks on I'ugot Sound.
WASHINGTON, Juno 20.—Tho first result
of Secretary Herbert's Pacific coast tour is
an official investigation of the now Puget
sound naval station. Captains Asserson,
Meuocal and Prindle, of the civil engineers
corps, left New York very privately for
Seattle on a mission which has been care
fully guarded. The importance attached
to their trip will be appreciated when it
is stated that they are ranking officers of
their corps, Captain Asserson being In
charge of the Brooklyn yard and Captain
Menocal of the Norfolk yard. It is under
stood that their expert opinion is required
as to the usefulness of the new dry dock
costing SBOO,OOO now under construction.
Some doubt has arisen as to whether its
foundations are strong enough to carry
the great ships of the navy for which it
was designed. It is said the contractor
has not been driving the piles as deep as
called for by the specifications, and that
au effort has been made to use inferior
concrete in the work. The contractor
claims that ho cannot drive the piles as
deep as demanded by the navy department, j
as the soil is harder than was indicated by
the preliminary borings made before tho
spec ill cations were drawn, and that the
work ho has done is good enough for all
practical purposes anyhow. He is further
of the opinion that the specifications for
mixing the required 10,000 cubic feet of
rubble concrete are unnecessarily severe.
To settle these questions three ranking
officers are despatched across tho country
at considerable expense to the government,
which Secretary Herbert thinks is much
better policy than having the dock prove a
failure when an emergency arises for
promptly docking a 10,000 ton battleship.
BLACKMAIL, SCHEME.
Latest Developments in the Delaney
Murder Case at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N, Y., June 30.—Mrs. George
Bartholomew, wife of the man who killed
i ex-City Clerk Win. E. Delaney, has con-
I feased that the visit of herself and herlius
| band to Delaney's apartments was part of
! a blackmailing scheme. She says that her
i intimacy with Delaney was a part of the
scheme as planned by her husband. Ac
cording to her story, she was reluctant to
j be placed in the position, but she declaros
her husband Insisted upon it as being a
/ necessary part of the plot. Mrs. Bartholo-
I mew says that after her husband and the
| Thorner woman hud come there, and she
and Delaney had confessed to their inti
macy, Bartholomew demanded money from
the lawyer. To avoid trouble the latter
said he would pay the injured husband for
the wrong lie had done him. Delaney then
sent Mrs. Thorner for the paper and ink
with which to write a check. While she
was gone, it flashed across the mind of tho
lawyer that this might be a blackmailing
scheme, since his intimacy with Mrs. Bar
tholomew had been only during the lust
i few weeks. Rather than be a victim to
; this and the subsequent demands which
would be made, Delaney made a dash for
the door. He did not, Mrs. Bartholomew
I says, raise a chair to strike ber husband,
i The latter, according to her confession,
j shot Delanuy|in cold blood.
New Scientific Theory.
j SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 20. —Robert
Stevenson, member of the Academy of
Sciences, in a lecture before that body, de
! glared that the true cause of gravity had
at last been discovered. Newton's theory
of centripetal force is proven to lie simply
a delusion as complete as the Ptolemaic
delusion of the motion of the heavens. Ac
cording to the new theory, there is no
lived for an ntherial medium to transmit
force or energy, as both can be made to
pHss through a vacuum without any ac
companying matter. The lecturor said
that facts stated already have been for
several months in the hands of Lord Lel
vin, president of the Royal society, and,
according to. this new law, any weight
whatever, if given horizontal velocity near
the surface of tho earth equal to 1,030 feet
per second, would never fall to the earth,
and if a disc of any weight be rotated free
in a horizontal plane with resultant ve
locity or momentum of velocity equal to
1,036 per second the disc would lose all its
weight; so that the construction of flying
machines is only a question of engineering
skill and capital.
City Treasurer's Records Seized.
LONG ISLAND CITY, L. 1., June 20. —Five
big safes in the office of City Treasurer
Bleckwenn, containing all the hooks and
records of his department, were seized by
Deputy Sheriff Walter to satisfy a judg
ment for $270.57 obtained against this city
by Michael Hand. Treasurer Bleckwenn,
Deputy Treasurer Kaufman and Clerks
Crowley and Boyd tried to get possession
of the hooks and papers. They grabbed
up everything available and rushed out of
the place with them. While the deputy
sheriff was trying to close the safes, Treas
urer Bleckwenn held a consultation with
Mayor San ford and Corporation Counsel
Stewart. The latter said that the seizure
was illegal, as tho court prevented the
sheriff taking possession of any city prop
erty in use. Mr. Hand owns a house on
Eighth street, this city. There was a case
of smallpox in his house during an epi
demic of the disease here over a year ago.
The city was without a post-house at the
time, and several smallpox patients were
removed to Hand's house despite his pro
test. He sued for SSOO damages.
Nautical Opinion.
LONDON, June 20.—The Graphic, com
menting on the voyage of the Vigilant,
says: "If Atlantic voyages were to be
taken into account as an augury of the
coming trial between English and Ameri
can yachts the victory would not he with
the English; hut the Valkyrie is not the
only antagonist tho Vigilant has to meet.
Tho race between the Vigilant and tho
Britannia will be the most interesting
ever seen in the nnnals of yachting. If we
are beaten we will take our defeat with
good grace. The Americans have learned
much of us in the matter of yacht build
ing, and we can well afford to learn some
thing in return."

QiIICKSM _OH IBP
Finance Committee Sus
tains Its First Defeat.
WASHINGTON, Juno 20.— Yesterday's
proceedings in the senate were made mem
orable by the fact that the iiuance com
mittee sustained its first defeat in the
management of the tariff bill. It came at
the close of the session when there were
more absentees 011 the democratic side of
the chamber than was consistent with
assured victory 011 that side. The subject
of it was quicksilver. This had been
placed on the free list by the house, and
the senate finauce committee reported it
without amendment. An attack upon it
was made by Senator Perkins (rep., Cal.),
who argued that its adoption would mean
the ruin of the quicksilver mines of Cali
fornia and the delivery of the control of the
quicksilver markets of the world to Roths
childs, who have contracts for the entire
supply of the quicksilver mines of Spain
and Austria. Mr. Perkins' argument was
backed by Mr. Lodge (rep., Mass.), Mr.
Piatt (rep., Conn.) and Mr. Stewart (pop.,
Nev.), and the democratic senator from
California Mr. White, although paired
and not voting, gave it some support in
the shape of a letter from a representative
of the quicksilver industry in California,
setting out facts.
The opposition to tho finance committee
was only passive, not active. On the vote
to strike the paragraph from the free list
Senators Hill and Morgan (democrats) and
the four populist senators—Allen, Kyle,
Peffer and Stewart—voted with the repub
licans, and the motion was carried—yeas,
23; nays, 20.
Quicksilver was then placed 011 tho duti
able list without opposition or division at
the rate of seven cents a pound. Thirty
three pages of the bill were disposed of dur
ing the day, and when the salt paragraph
was reached the senate, at 6:26 adjourned.
H 011 so of Representatives.
Among the bills passed in the house was
one directing the secretary of the interior
j to sell at public auction 100,000 acres of
pine land on the Chippewa reservation,
| Minnesota, and one to surrender to the city
of Newport, Ky., for park purposes, the old
site of the Newport barracks, situated at
the confluence of the Ohio and Licking
rivers.
The day was chiefly spent In general de
bate on the Hatch anti-option bill, speeches
against it being delivered by Messrs.
Coombs (dem., N. Y.) and Aldrich (rep.,
! 111.), and a speech In its favor by Mr. Sib
-1 ley (dem., Pa.). Mr. Fletcher (rep., Minn.)
had read letters from actual wheat buyers
in Minneapolis protesting against the pas
sage of the bill. In presenting them Mr.
; Fletcher said that statistics showed that
j for five years past at Chicago, the average
price of May wheat as a future had been
live cents a bushel higher than the article
commanded as a spot article in that month,
demonstrating the advantage that "fu
tures" were to the producer.
William and the bullish.
BERLIN, June 20.—1t is reported that Sir
Edward Malet, British ambassador, has
sent his resignation to his government in
London, stating as the reason for his wish
to retire that it is impossible for him to
longer successfully represent tho Interests
of England at the court of tho kaiser, since,
owing to recent acts of the British cabinet
the confidence of the emperor has been lost.
It is said that the kaiser has bitterly ro
proached the British cabinet for taking
unfair advantage of his straightforward
ness in dealing with England and also ac
cused Sir Edward Malet with having coun
tenanced tho English cabinet's duplicity.
Sir Edward Malet, it is asserted, protested
to tho kaiser against tho accusation, de
claring that he was as much surprised as
the kaiser. The oniperor then, according
to report, informed .Sir Edward that Eng
land could thank herself if henceforth he
should reverse the friendly policy of Ger
many and return to Prince Bismarck's dis
trust of ever v thine En'.dish.
