SPICIAL TELEQEAM TO TIIE DtSPATCII.J
New Yoke, Sept. 22. The Republicans
at national headquarters were stirred up to
day. Ihe Democrats having ordered 200,
000 copies of the speech of Senator Hill in
the Brooklyn Academy of Mnsic on Mon
day night, and having already began to
drop them like snowfiakes all oyer the Em
pire State, the Republicans are arouied to
counteract tiie effects.
It was finally decided to have a meeting
of the Executive Committee of the National
Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
the evening and adopt plans for forcing the
fight in the Empire State. The meeting
occurred in Joseph II. Manley's room. There
were present, beside Mr. Manley, Chairman
Carter, Mr. Fessenden, of Connecticut; Gar
rett A. Hobart, of New Jersey; Richard G.
Kerens, of Missouri; General James 8.
Clarkson, of Iowa; Dave Martin, of Penn
sylvania, Mr. Quay's representative,
William Hahn, of Ohio; Cornelius X. Bliss,
theTreasurer of the National Cotnmlttee.and
Charles W. Hackctt, Chairman of the Re
publican State Campaign Committee, It
was the fullest meeting of the Rational Ex
ecutive Committee since the campaign
Opened. "While this discussion was going
on ex-Speaker Reed and ex-Senator Thomas
C Flatt had a conference of their own.
The Situation Thoroughly Gone Over.
At the meeting in Mr. Manley's room the
situation In New York State was discussed.
It was admitted that Senator Hill's speech
had aroused the Democrats and stirred up
enthusiasm. The campaign of the Demo
crats before this speech, it was said,
had been listless, and evidently
without purpose but it was very evident
now that steps must be taken to arouse the
I Republicans. It was decided to sound the
bugle note ofalarm through all the coun
ties, and to insist that the Republicans
must get out and work as tbey never
worked in their lives.
The most flattering tributes were paid to
the State machine ot the Democrats led by
Mr. Murphy nnd Mr. Sheehan, to the or
ganized forces of Tammany under Mr.
Choker, and to the Democratic warriors
under the leadership of Hugh McLaughlin.
Tltie Republican organization, it was ad
mitted, was doing well, but greaters effort
aiiist be made.
(Chairman Hahn, of the Speakers' Bureau,
omised to flood the State w ith speakers,
-easurer Bliss announced that he had the
herewithal to meet every legitimate ex
nse, and Chairman Ha'ckett gave a de
ription of the work that has already been
one.
A rlea Made for Connecticut.
Mr. Fessenden, while interested in the
'eat battle in New York, announced that
tnnecticut was within the grasp of the
epublicaus, but more speakers and harder
irk must be done. The conference lasted
itil late at uifht, and when it ended the
ational Chairman left, announcing that
e booniiuc of the Republican guns in the
ate would be heard immediately.
The main battle of the Republicans is to
; made in this State. Some declared that
le Republicans would have this State in
pite of half admen Democratic machines.
They emphatically declared that they would
give the Democrats the toughest "fight on
record.
Mr. Manley will remain in town until
election day" to assist Dave Martin and
John L Davenport and others in the
naturalization of Republican voters, and to
look after alleged colonization schemes in
New York, Kings and Hudson coun
ties. Tiie headquarters of these
three Republicans will be at 4GG Pearl
street, and they will be assisted in their
labor by the County Committee on Natur
alization, of which Robert A. Greacen, of
the Fifteenth district, is Chairman.
Mauley Gets Some Criticism.
The other members of the committee are
F. Snyder, of the Twelfth; John Stiebling,
of the Sixth; H. W. Gibson, of the Thir
teenth, and John A. Moran, of the First
Some of the Republicans of New York and
ICings are inclined to be critical
ever the presence of Messrs. Mar
tin and Manley. Naval Officer "Willis
especially objects to foreign interference.
Eminent Republicans said to-night, with
considerable feeling, that if Mr. Willis did
not cease raising ruction in Kings
county his official head would be
lopped off. Theso same Republicans
seem to believe that Secretary Tracy
is mainly responsible for Mr. Willis.
They say that those iu charge of Mr. Har
rison's campaign would stand no nonsense
from Secretary Tracr, either.
All in all, when the conference broke up
c lot of well-informed, spirited and confi
dent Republican leaders with their sleeves
rolled up came out.
Gray Talks About Grovcr's Irf-tter.
Ex-Governor Isaac Pnsey Gray, of In
diana, returned from Buzzard's Bay to-day.
A solid delegation of Hoosiers awaited
him at the Hoffman House. Mr. Gray
did not care to speak of what happened on
his visit to Mr. Cleveland. He was con
vinced, tnouch, that Mr. Cleveland's letter
of acceptance would come along in about a
-neck, and that it would be a formidable
document.
Mr. Cleveland's return to New York for
another reception day will be directed by
the wishes of Mr. Harnty and Mr. Whit
ney and the associate managers of the fight.
Mr. Cleveland's presence may not be
. needed before October 1. It is his wish to
' remain 3t Gray Gables until he is ready fo
return for the winter.
The Democratic National Committee has
issued its textbook of the campaign. The
work has been directed bv Josiah Quincy,
Chairman of the Literary Bureau,
and most ot the matter is by John
Ford, Logan Carlisle, son of Senator
Carlisle, and ex-Secretary Fairchild. An
edition of 100,000 copies of the book has
been ordered.
It is learned that the County Democracy
will put a third candidate lor Mayor of
New York in the race.

said the force bill meant a return to the

The General'! Army Friends Say Be
Is
Being Grossly Traduced.
"Washington, Sept. 22. Special
There are here in attendance at the encamp
ment of the Grand Army many of the old
comrades in arms of General Weaver, can
didate of the People's party for President,
and they resent, without respect to party,
the charges that have been circulated by
both Democrats and Republicans deroga
tory to the conduct ot the General when he
was commandant of the army post at
Pulaski, Tenn., in 1863, that he was out
rageously harsh in his treatment of the citi
zens of the surrounding country, levying on
them in the most oppressive manner. They
say, to begin with, that the people of that
region were particularly demonstrative in
their sympathy with the rebellion, and that
at times some reprebensive acts might
have been necessary, but no one censured
General Weaver for undue harshness.
General G. M. Dodge, who was com
mander of the Sixteenth corps, in which
was the regiment of Colonel Weaver at that
time, says that the charges of inhuman and
barbarous treatment at the instance of
Weaver are totally untrue, and even it
there were any basis for them Weaver was
not in a position to have been the offender,
but was merely the instrument in the bands
ot his superior officer. General Dodge, as
well as many others of his old comrades,
thus fully exonerates General Weaver. Of
course the charges were specially intended
to hurt the candidate in the South.
BUCKING TO THE FOECE BILL.
Lords McComas Stirs Up the Animals In His
Old District.
Ccmbeblaxd, Md., Sept, 22. Special
Hon. Louis E. McComas, late Congress
man for the Sixth district of Maryland,
and now Secretary of the National Repub
lican Committee, dropped his work at New
York long enough, It was stated, to make
some campaign speeches in his distriot in
behalf of Mr. Wellington, the Republican
nominee, and against Congressman Mc
Kaig, the present incumbent and Demo
cratic candidate for re-election. He made
a speech here last night in which he advo
cated the passage of the foree bill, using
the.same arguments advanced by him when
in Congress, and at the time that unpopu
lar measure was under consideration. This
action is not relished by Wellington and
his friends, who know that it was MeCom
as' bitter denunciation of the South that
alienated from him many votes and caused
his defeat when he ran against McKaig.
McComas was a candidate for renomina
tion this year, but, finding that Wellington
had the upper hand, be withdrew. Inas
much as he and Wellington have always
been at odds, it is now charged that Mc
Comas is using the force bill as a club with
which to knock out Wellington just as he
was himself knocked out As the Sixth
district is the only one in which the Repub
licans have a fighting chance, McComas'
course is not at all relished by the party.

leads Him Into Trouble Four Times

ACCUSED OF POOR ORTHODOXY
Because He Doesn't Believe AH of the Old
Testament Literally.
PEOCEEDINGS OP PAN-PEESBITEEIANS
tSraCIAL TILIORAU TO TBI DtSrjLTCIt.t
Cleveland, Sept, 22. Dr. Speeeher
and the Cleveland Presbytery are again in
trouble over the Euclid avenue pastor's
orthodoxy. At the regular fall session at
Nortbfield, O., Dr. Speecher'a case was
called for the fourth time in two years.
The complaint charged Dr. Speeeher with
beinff a heretic because he bad declared the
opening chapters of Genesis to have been
of pagan origin; because he had said the
biblical references to the Garden of Eden
were of pagan rather than divine origin;
because he had referred to the narrative of
the flood os mythical, and because he has
laughed at biblical accounts of the exodus
of the Children of Israel and their march
through the sands of Arabia as full of un
reasonable and incredible statements.
Complaints of the Doctor's Accusers.
These teachings, the complainants set
forth, tend to beget doubts in the established
historical faith of the Presbyterian Church
concerning Bible records, conducing to
overthrow all confidence in them as the in
spired word of God. The committee to
whom the matter was referred reported that
Dr. Speeeher declared his position to be
that of conservative and higher criticism,
for which reason it was recommended that
no farther action in the awe be taken, and
that the Presbytery reaffirm its condemna
tion of all views or utterances which tend
to a denial of plenary inspiration of the
Scriptures, or any of the fundamental
doctrines of the confession of faith.
Dr. Speeeher stated that he was ready to
meet any charges, and that If he could not
be orthodox or preach in the Presbyterian
pulpit unless he held the views of Dr. Hall,
of Cleveland, he would be willing to be
called a heretic, and could find other places
to preach. Finally the report of the com
mittee was adopted. To-day Dr. Speeeher
said:
Dr. Speeeher Explains Ills Position.
"The charges pending against me were
fully discussed, and I achieved a signal vic
tory. It was alleged by the gentlemen who
brought the charges against me Wednesday
that 1 do not believe la the inspiration ot
the Scriptures. That is not the case. I
have repeatedly said, and I fully declared
my position before the meeting, that I do
not believe In the verbal inspiration of the
Scriptures; that is to say, I do not believe
that the writers ot the different books
which form the Old Testament set down
every word just as they received it from
God." I believe they were inspired to write
those books or chronicles, but that thev
used their own languages in doing so, and I
am not prepared to say that tbey may not
have made errors in recording what they
had received through inspiration from God.
"My accusers claimed that I do not be
lieve in the inspiration of the Bible at all,
which, as vou see, is a misconstruction
whether willful or not Idon't know of my
views."
THE PAN-PRESBYTERIANS.
Honors Heaped Upon Dr. Blaikie, the Ven
erable Presiding Officer Various Phases
of the Reformation Discussed by Several
Speakers Tho Increased Membership.
Toronto, Sept 22. At this morning's
session of the Pan-Presbyterian Council, in
the report of the Business Committee,
which was presented by Dr. Caven, the
Chairman, reference was made to the faot
that to-day is the anniversary of the semi
centennial of the entry into the ministry
of the President ot the Alliance, Dr.
Blaikie, of Edinburgh. The warmest con
gratulations of the Alliance were tendered
to Dr. Blaikje, and he was asked to accept,
as a mark of special honor, the position of
Honorary Secretary of the Alliance. This
clause of the report was adopted by a stand
ing vote, nmid general cheering. Dr.
Blaikie was visibly affected by thi3 mani
festation, as he feelingly returned thanks
for the kind action of the Council.
Dn Matthews, Permanent Secretary to
the Alliance, presented a report of statis
tics, an epitome of which was given last
night. In laying the report before the con
ference the doctor referred to the great im
portance ot the 'gathering, which,-he said,
was far greater than that of the historic
counsels of Nice and Dort or the famous
gathering at Westminster, which formu
lated the confession and catechisms. This
council had 20,000,000 Christians at its
back.
It Is a Cosmopolitan Religion.
Its members came' from every quarter ot
the habitable globe. Its deliberations were
watohed with interest in every country.
and before night the words uttered that
morning would be flashed to the end of the
earth. Turning to the contents of the re
port, Dr. Matthews pointed out that tha
statistics showed a general increase in mem
bership all along the line, with a total of
about 230,000 increase of adults and a cor
responding increase of Sunday schools. To
the report was appended a brief account of
the nature ot church government in differ
ent parts of continental Europe, and the re
lation of the Church and State. The report
was adopted on motion of Judge Book-
stayer, of Hew York, and Dr. T. G. Apple,
of Lancaster, Pa., amid loud applause.
Dr. Kerr, of Glasgow, gave notice of a
resolution strongly approving the action of
the United States Congress in deciding to
close the Chicago Exposition on Saturday
evenings, and earnestly hoping it will not
alter the decision.
Rev. Dr. Chambers, ot New York, gave
notice of a motion to add a third section to
Executive, to be called the Southern sec
tion, and to include Australia and the South
Pacific.
Notions of the Reformation Corrected.
Dr. Thomas Lindsay, of Glasgow, then
read a. paper on "Protestant Reformation,
Its Spiritual Character and Its Fruits in
the Individual Life." The paper dealt
with many fallacies existing as to the object
and causes ot the Reformation, and defined
as its central cause the desire of those par-'
taking in the movement for absolute liberty
of conscience, and as its guiding principle
the personal application of the divine prom
ise of forgiveness of sin. It produced a new
kind of piety, viz: Personal and direct
intercourse of the sinner with his Savior
without any intervening medium. The
paper was followed by a brief discussion.
At the afternoon se'ssion, whioh was pre
sided over by Rev. Prof. X G. Darling, of
.Auburn, N. Y., the Protestant Reformation
was further considered. Rev. Prof II.
Bavinck, D. D of Kampeln, Holland,
dealt with the influence of the Reformation
the moral and religious condition of
nations: Rev. Prof. M. Leich, D. D., of
Belfast, on their intellectual -state and pro
gress; Rev. Prof. H. Baird, D. D of New
York City, dealt with their civil and pollt
cal institutions.
At night the subjeot under consideration
was "Our Reformed and Presbytery
Churches First in Their Characteristics and
Mission," led by the Rev, D. E. Van
Horne, D. D., of Tiffin, O.J second, in their
strength and weakness, by Rev. Moars Gib

What His Boad Is Prepared to Do
Next Year-No Changes Merely Because
of His Vocation.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22. Special.
The cordial welcome home accorded to
President George B. Roberts on his return
to Philadelphia Wednesday sight after an
absence of three months in Europe was con
tinued throughout to-day. Iu a talk he
said: "Plans for the World's Fair were, for
the most part, consummated before my de
parture. We will carry to Chicago all
those who want to go. Arrangements have
been made also by which all European ex
hibitors may use our lines for the trans
portation ot their exhibits at reduced rates,
with every facility to insure safety and
speed. I learned one thing In Europe in
relation to that. Whenever a great ex
hibition is on there it is a signal tor a gen
eral rise in rales all along the line, every
body wishing to profit as' much as possible
from the opportunity afforded by a great
public enterprise. Here the contrary has
always existed."
Requested for an expression of opinion
upon the great coal combine formed during
his absence and the position which had
been taken by those in control of the Penn
sylvania road during that time, Mr. Rob
erts said: "I learned very little of what
was going on here during my absence, but
have learned since my return something
about that matter. The position taken by
the Pennsylvania Company during my ab
sence wiU'ba the nosition maintained and
adhered to by me. No change or modifica
tion need be anticipated or feared.
Mr. Roberts said finally: "No radical
chances need be looked for in the present
management of the Pennsylvania Railroad
because of my trip abroad. I did not go
there to raise money, nor did I go as in any
way representing interests which needed
looking after abroad, but solely for rest
and sight-seeing. I had a most enjoyable
time and am glad I am home.".
FIRST IESIJM0HY TAKEH
In the Dehtmater Embezzlement Case
.Now on Trial.
Mkadville, Sept. 22. This morning
the Delamater case was resumed, Judge
Jenks continuing his argument to show that
the present indictment comes within the act
of Assembly under which it is made,
and against the admission of the evidence
of G, W. Haskins, one of the assignees.
The counsel contended that because the
partners in the banking corporation are not
familiar with the private business of each
other they aro not personally responsible
for the failure of the bank if due to the in
solvency of any one partner. The prose
cution held that the act of 1880 applied to
all banking institutions; that the defendants
were bankers within the meaning of the
act, and, therefore, indictable under the
act
W. S. Murray, the prosecutor in the case,
was called and sworn. He stated that he
made various deposlta in defendants' bank a
short time previous to its close. Witness
also testified to the estimated values of
various properties owned by defendants
prior to the failure. The case is exciting
but very little interest and fails to draw
the attendance at court which the former
trial did. Court adjourned at 5:30 P. M.
UBS. HARRISON MUCH BETTER.
The First Lady of the Administration Again
Able to Enjoy Her Meals.
Washington, Sept 22. Mrs. Harrison
parsed a comparatively comfortable day,
and this evening was stronger and better in
every way than she was during the last few
days of her stay in the mountains. An im
proved appetite is one of the most favorabl
symptoms in her case, and to-day, for the
first time in over two weeks, she was able
to partake of solid food, in the form of a
small pleco of beef. Not very long ago
Mrs. Harrison dictated a letter to Colonel
Ernst, advising him as to certain changes
she would like to have made in the Man
sion. When she was settled yesterday in
her own room she remembered all about It,
and was much pleased to hear that her di
rections had been carried out to the letter.
Dr. Scott, Mrs. Harrison's venerable
father, is very happy over her safe return.
Last week, when she was so critically 111,
an effort was made to keep from him her
real condition, so as to spare him at least
some hours of padness. A well-meaning
frirnd, however, broke the truth to him
quite abruptly, and the venerable man was
greatly afWcted. Now that she is home
and he can occasionally talk to her a great
load is lilted from his heart
A Farewell Reception.
Rev. C. E. Locke, pastor of the Smith
field Street M. E. Church, will be tendered
a reception this evening in the chnrch par
lors. A committee has been at work all
week arranging for the entertainment, and
as this will be the last opportunity of shak
ing hands with this popular minister a
large crowd is expected. Mr. Locke
preaches his last sermon Sunday night and
leaves Monday to take charge of the First
M. E. Church, of Portland, Ore.
A Tough Young Man.
William Warman, who was released from
jail only a few days ago, went on a spree
yesterday and threatened to kill his father,
mother and sister. He attempted to beat
his sister, but she escaped before he could
do her any harm. A police offiaer was
called before he could do any further dam
age and he was arrested. He was sent to the
workhouse for three months.

Washington, Pa., Sept 22. Special
This city is suffering from a water famine.
The dry weather has almost dried the creek
west of town, whence the water supply is

of a republican government in Italy from
the point of view of Catholic interests aud
the position of the people.
The idea of a republic grows among the
masses. Several prominent and .conserva
tive journals have pronounced clearly for
this change. This revolution In sentiment
has produced a sensation, and a sensible
disquietude at the'Quirinal and also in the
great European courts. The alteration of
sentiment in Italy is due, it is charged, to
the tendency of the King to sacrifice the
oountry to the interests of the dynasty by
doubtful alliances. Catholics consider the
monarchy has contracted exorbitant en
gagements in order to prevent the solution
of the Roman question. .
The Vatican nowhere discourages repub
lican aspirations, seeing that the advent of
a federal republic of the American type
wouia give a place to Home as a tree city
and patrimony of the Holv See. The
Quirinal actively accuses the Vaticin at the
oourts of Europe of lending a hand to the
movement which alms at the triumph of
republicanism in Europe.
The Italian Government is specially con
cerned over what may happen when the
Catholic groups will declare for the repub
licans at the elections. In view of this com
bination the Austrian and German Govern
ments recommend that the Qulurnal should
show less hostility to the Pope, and so try
to counteract the movement If the Italian
Government pushes matters to an extremity
the Vatican can have recourse to extraor
dinary measures. The situation leads to an
important historic solution, despite the
efforts ot Vienna and Berlin to moderate the
action of the Qulurnal and pacify the
ecclesiastic party in Rome,

Successfully.
The situation at the Elba Iron Works re
mains the same. The strikers are, still con
fident that they will ultimately win, and

the best men now employed In the mill.
The police are on duty at the mill, but find
little to do. The crowds which have here
tofore gathered about the mill gate to greet
the colored men coming from work failed
to materialize yesterday.

evening and when asked how he was suc
ceeding In operating the mill said: "I am
pertectly satisfied with the progress we are
making. We are running 20 furnaces and
got a full turn out of the 10-inch mill to
day. We havo lighted up the fires in the
pipe mill and will bu ready to start up
Monday. This denartment will be run by
our old men. We have quite a number of
them employed now fixing up. We are re
ceiving new men all day long. Since dinner
time three puddlers have come in and been
encaged. We will-have no trouble from
thfs ou. Every day will be better than the
day before."
