THY CABLE TO THE DISrATCH.l
Berlin, Aug. 7. Copyright. The new
military bill has been completed and .lies
in the Emperor's cabinet awaiting his ap
proval and signature. The bill, probably
like its still-born predecessor, is of the
kind to provoke stormy discussion in Par
liament, and the Government is perplexed
as to the expediency of introducing it this
fall or next Januarv, or in the fall of 1893.
Those chronic croakers, the Independents
and the irrepressible Social Democrats are
certain to talk themselves hoarse, in and
out of the Beichstag, in proving that the
bill means crises and disasters, and the
Government fears the result of another
pitched battle ol the parties so soon alter
the school bill agitation.
The proposals in the bill, as far as they
can be ascertained, are not extravagant.
One is the introduction of the two-year
term of military service, an issue on which
many able officers have fallen out of impe
rial favor, and which the crown has been
very tardy in accepting, despite the loud
popular demand lor a reduction of the pres
ent three-year term.
Plans to Meet a Redaction.
To offset the effect of the proposed re
duction the annual recruiting will be so
regulated as to add 50,000 more men to the
standing army. Numerous skeleton for
mations, which can be quickly completed lor
the mobilization, will also be proposed.
Fifty new batteries will be one of the re
quirements of the artillery, it is said, under
the new plan.
These changes will add 63,000,000 marks
annually to the military budget, but this
estimate probably is a few millions too Joir.
Just how the Government experts to meet
the increase of expenditure is not yet cer
tain. There is some talk of raising the
tariff on tobacco, or of introducing the old
Bismarckian proposal of a whisky monop
oly. Both devices, however, would bring
the Government into bad odor with the
common people, and probably some other
way out of the financial difficulty will be
found. The Government is embarrassed in
its action by the prospect of the general
elections of 1893, and therefore must pro
ceed with extreme caution.
Dead In Lore TVlth the Bill.
The Emperor, Count Von Caprivi and
the general staff are enamored of the bill
They believe that the proposed increase of
the standing army is imperative, especially
that in the artillerv, which has not kept
pace with the French artillery in the mili
tary developments of the last ten years. The
fate of the Reichstag depends on "the cleri
cals. The clericals, as usual, are awake to
the situation, and, although currying favor
with the Government by abusingBismarck,
occasionally sound a note of warning to
Caprivi that they are not to be had for the
asking, but must be paid well for their sup
port. Thus the Koelnische Yo'lszeiixng, in an ar
ticle full of flattery to the Crown and bitter
ness toward Bismarck, lets fall the signifi
cant remark of Windhorst that only Bis
marck would be strong enough as Chan
cellor to secure the repeal of the law against
the Jesuits and restore to the Catholics all
the privileges enjoyed by them before the
kulturkampf. Count Von Caprivi is now
negotiating with the clericals for their
price, but as yet no definite understanding
is in sight.
Von Waldersee In a sretty Pickle.
Count Von Waldersee has returned from
his holidays in Switzerland, and is inspect
ing the great military railway in West
phalia. Probably he will be summoned to
Berlin to give an aecount of his recent be
havior when the Emperor shall return from
England. "Waldersee is in an unenviable
position, despite his recent avowals that he
is a simple soldier with no notion of in
triguing with BismarcK or anybody else.
He dreads his interview with the Em
peror, as he expects to be rapped over the
knuckles for his discreditable course dur
ing the Bismarck feud. Should he escape
reproof, and perhaps retirement, it will be
only because the Emperor wishes to avoid
more crises, of which there have been a glut
in Germany recently, with the end not yet
in view.
Diplomatic illness unto death is in fact
spreading like a cholera epidemic Herr
Von Boetticler, Bismarck's unstable friend
and latent Chancellor, is one of the latest
victims. Overwork in his place at the
head of the Home Bule Office is said to
have moved him to seek relief from his du
ties. All the Die; Men Under the YTealher.
Herr Von Herrfurth has been unwell
ever since he began opposing "Miquel's
plan of tax reform in Prussia. Thielen,
Minister of Public Highways, is said to be
anxious about his health and to be on the
point of relinquishing his office to some
new man. In fact, the machinery of state
in this city has been seriously crippled by
the peculiar indisposition of the men who
operate it
The officials in every department are
divided in three or four opposing parties,
and nowhere does there seem to be the
least certainty who will be taken and who
will be left. Decisive action will be taken
first in the case of Herr Von Herrfurth.
His resignation will be considered by the
Emperor this week, and probably accepted.
The only general conclusion to be drawn
I
2
from this chaotic state of affairs seems to be
that Miquel is rising In favor, with Eulen
burg close at his heels. One thing is ac
cepted by all as indisputable, Herrfurth
would be a well man to-day, had he not
tried to discredit, with the Emperor, the
plans of Miquel for tax reform.
rolltlcs and Yachting United.
The official and unofficial press of Berlin
are agreed in the opinion that the Emperor
at Cowea is uniting politics and yachting,
and is in his favorite role, that of beinghis
own chancellor. He, it supposed to be
pumping the Queen and Lord Salisbury as
to the probable attitude of Mr. Gladstone
toward the Triple Alliance The present
course of events in Bulgaria has rendered
the Emperor especially nervous about the
designs of Russia, and he is known to sus
pect Gladstone is of the intention of with
drawing from Italy the moral support which
has been of inestimable political value to
the peace powers. ,
The renewed advances of Bussia toward
negotiating a commercial treaty with Ger
many are regarded with coldness by the
Berlin press. Their only aim is thought to
be the eventual placing of a Bussian loan
in Berlin. Trance, while full of sympathy
and enthusiasm for her one ally, has no
money to lend the impecunious Empire.
Austria and Italy are out of the question,
for financial as well as political reasons, and
England is not considered by the Bussian
financiers as a profitable source of aid.
Rusla Driven to Dire Extremity.
Only the absolute necessity, thus indi
cated, of getting money in Berlin or not at
all, has driven Bussia to the extremity
where she is willing to make concessions to
her hated neighbor. The bait is too thin,
however, and the press here, alter exposing
the hook, warns German bankers that
Bussia, poor, famine-stricken and scourged
with cholera, is the only Bussia that will
not break the peace of Europe, adding that
every rouble lent to the Czar would increase
the probability of the Franco-Russian at
tack on Germany.
General Lanza, the new ambassador from
Italy to Germany, is said to be a worthy
successor of Count di Launay. He enjoys
in Italy a high reputation as "a soldier and
a diplomast, and in the public service has
filled many responsible offices. He was
born in 1837 and received a military educa
tion. His first diplomatic post was in Paris,
where he was a military attache ot the Ital
ian legation from 1873 to 1879. In the lat
ter year he was removed to Vienna. In the
succeeding years he received and discharged,
with credit to himself, several military
commands, including that of the brigade in
Massowah in 1887. He is a strong and
frank friend of the triple alliance.
Wllhelm'a Gratitude Expressed.
The Emperor has invited ten seamen who
helped receive him upon his last visit to
Heligoland to go to Berlin at his expense
and take part in the demonstration with
which he will be received upon his return
from England.
The wildcat Social Democrats, who disa
vow all allegiance to the regular party, led
by Bebel, Liebknecht and Singer, have
formed in Elberfeld a discussion club, whose
object is to enlighten the people to the
shortcomings of the orthodox Social Dem
ocrats. The club will not only hold peri
odical mass meetings to denounce the latest
acts of the regulars of the party, but will
scatter pamphlets throughout the cities of
the Empire. The wildcat Social Demo
crats have already three or four newspapers,
and the club proposes to found another
wmen win propound its approved doctrine,
as the Yorwacrls propounds the approved
doctrine of the regulars.
The prospectus of the club indicates that
its members differ from the regulars only in
the degree of violence to be used against
the State. The regulars counsel modera
tion for the present, while the Elberfeld
people believe in fire eating from start to
finish. "With these malcontents on one side
and the patriotic, social Democrats under
Vollmer on the other, the Executive Com
mittee will all be in a sad predicament be
fore the meeting of the annual convention
ot the party in October.
Determination of a Dynamite Fiend.
The dynamite explosion in Wusterhau
sen a few days ago is attracting attention
out of proportion to the amount of damage
done, because the authorities are now con
vinced that it was the work of Emil Manan
teau, who perished in the ruins. There was
a dance in Wusterbausen on the night of
May 30. Caterer Blumel, who attended it,
had trouble with several men, and was
ejected by them. "While he was complain
ing to the night watchman before the door,
a dozen men came from the hall, flourishing
revolvers and threatening to exterminate
the Blumel family. They were followed by
Blnmel's two sons. There was a general
fight, in which Mananteau took a conspicu
ous part. Mananteau fired his revolver
several times, and when the night watch
man tried to arrest him, threatened to kill
anybody who laid hands on him.
It was learned subsequently that Manan
tean was a workman in Forester's dynamite
factory. On June 2 Mananteau called at a
newspaper office and protested that the
published accounts of the fight had dene
him injustice and must be withdrawn, as
they probably would lead to his arrest
This the editor refused to do and Mananteau
said: "I will commit suicide rather than
go to prison, but when I kill myself others
will perish with me." After menacing the
editor Mananteau left
Since the explosion it has been ascer
tained that Mananteau was the author of
the explosion. He was killed instantly.
Another victim was the night watchman,
who was a witness against him. Manan
teau had planned to blow up the restaurant
where the fight occurred, the dynamite fac
tory and the editor's office, it is said, and
then to blow up himself. His death during
his first attempt at revenge was the result,
therefore, it is thought, of miscalculation.
Berlin Exhibition Promoters Pleased.
The promoters of the Berlin exhibition
have been encouraged by the favorable re
plies received from the manufacturers of
Saxony. Of 67 concerns 63 returned favor
able answers to the questions of the Gov
ernment representatives. Forty-four of
the concerns favoring the exhibition are
joint stock companies, with a total capital
of 8,500,000,000 marks.
What is left of society in Berlin during
these hot days has been amused by revela
tions concerning a society of married
women of the upper class in this city. .The
society's constitution and records were com
municated to an editor by a male victim of
its methods. The society is called "The
Association of Married Women for the Con
trol of Husbands." The aim of the society
is to enable members to prevent their hus
bands from going on sprees or associating
with women of doubtful character. The so
ciety employs detectives, who, upon the
complaint of a member against her husband,
are sent to watch the suspected man at
night, and eventually to decoy the appre
hended offender into a meeting of the asso
ciation. At this meeting the husband is in
formed of the proof at hand against him,
and he is threatened with exposure in case
he does not promise to reform. All but one
ot the men arraigned by the society in the
last year found it expedient to accept a rep
rimand and reform without uttering a-pro-test
The one who refused to submit to the
society's discipline betrayed its secrets to
the newspapers.
Lieutenant Schnrow Fired Prom the Army.
It is stated unofficially that the court of
honor of the Sixty-first'lnfantry Regiment,
stationed at the Horn, has sentenced the
retl-ed Lieutenant, Schurow, to loss of
rank and uniform, and that the Emperor
has modified the sentence to loss of uniform.
Schnrow's offense was that, after insulting
the militia Lieutenant, Bexins, he refused
his challenge to fight a duel.
Dr. Ton Eotenbnrg, Under Secretary in
the Imperial Home Office, who returned a
few days ago from his vacation, has left the
city again upon the advice of his physician.
His health is almost shattered and probably
will necessitate his retirement from office
ehortly.
Ministerial Director Nelberding has
abandoned his vacation to take Botenburg's
place as Chairman of the Bussian Treaty
Committee.
Baron Wolfsbaeh's Bavarian castle was
entered by burglars on Thursday night and

The Collapse of a Noted Cafe.
Cafe Bohrmeler, with its restaurant and
billiard hall, recently erected In Straubing,
collapsed yesterday. Three men were killed
and nine or ten were injured.
The people of Klalnwaisch, a Bavarian
hamlet, met In church this morning
to hear their pastor's farewell sermon.
A heavy storm broke over the

While the people were carrying the
stricken ones from the church another bolt
struck, knocking the bell from the tower,

COMBATING CHOLERA.
Russian Authorities Summon All Physi
cians to Aid In the Fight.
Sx. Petebsbubo, Aug. 7. The cholera
returns for all Bussia for August show a
total of 6,741 new cases and 3,496 deaths.
A circular issued by the Ministry of the In
terior calls upon all Bussians, male or
female, who have studied medicine abroad
to place themselves at the disposal of the
authorities to combat cholera.

It Solemnly Assures Parliament There Is
no Work for It to DoT
London, Ang. 7. The Queen's speech,
as communicated to the chiefs of the Minis
terial and opposition parties, is the briefest
speech from the throne ever read in Parlia
ment It formally intimates that Parlia
ment has not met tor the transaction of busi
ness. It contains no reference to prospective
legislation, and is almost silent in regard to
foreign affairs and Ireland. The Queen
simply says that no immediate work can be
expected of the members so soon after the
labors of theiast session add the fatigues of
the general election.
SEPTAL K00BI8K BOLDrEBY
Hake a Desperate Effort to Kidnap
a 3-
Tear-Old English Girt.
' Tangiee,' Aug. 7. Three of the Sultan's
soldiers made an attempt yesterday to kid
nap a 8-year-old English girl. The mother,
hearing the little one's cries, ran out of the
house and followed the kidnapers.
The latter made an attack on the mother
with their swords, but her shrieks called as
sistance, and they fled, dropping the child,
who was unconscious. The local authorities
declare they have -no jurisdiction over the
soldiery.

BOUNCED THE BABBI.
Preached Christ In a Hebrew Synagogue
Till the Audience Pnt Him Oat.
St. -Paul, Aug. 7. Yesterday, which
was the Hebrew Sabbath, at the Synagogue
of the Sons of Jacob, a strange rabbi, for
such he was taken to be, arose and began to
preach in the Hebrew tongue. The
audience was much taken with him. Sud
denly he began to preach Christ crucified.
A match dropped into a can of powder
could not have created a greater com
motion. Instantly the congregation was on
its feet demanding that the man be put out
of the house.
The man continued to preach Christ as if
talking to the most appreciative audience,
and a moment later everybody made a rush
for him at once. He attempted to defend
himself, but was knocked down, and after
his head was well thumped on the floor he
was dragged and thrown out of the syna
gogue. The stranger was a converted
Polish Hebrew named Nathaniel Fried
man. He claims that he was invited there
by a prominent member of the Sons ot
Jacob ana told that he might preach a short
sermon. Friedman stated last evening that
he should bring suit, against the Sons of
Jacob to recover damages for his injuries,
though he is not seriously hurt

Dear Public
ONE SENATOR WHO WON'T GO TO CHICAGO'
tSPICUI. TELXQBAM TO TOT DISPATCH.
"Washington, Aug. 7. Senatorial
Junketing trips are as fashionable as ever
this summer. More than 20 special com
mittees have been authorized to make in
vestigations during the recess, so that a
majority of the members of the Senate are
to have, at the expense of the Government,
an opportunity to visit various interesting
points.
Senator Gallinger, although compara
tively a new member of the Senate, has se
cured the privilege of investigating the
Homestead labor troubles, with the assist
ance of a special committee. He may not
be able to glean much additional informa
tion to that furnished the newspapers by
the reporters and to Congress by the report
of Judge Oates' committee, but the great
mass of testimony makes more work for the
Government printers and gives a healthy
boom to the junk business.
Senator Hiscock, who is probably serving
his last term in the Senate, evidently ex
pects a Cabinet position after 1893, should
Harrison be re-elected, for he has obtained
consent from the Senate to make an investi
gation as to the organization and workings
of the executive departments. Senator
Cockrell made a similar investigation two
years ago, and submitted a most exhaustive
report, but Senator Hiscock is thirsting for
more information on the subject, ss he and
his committee have authority to go through
the departments with a fine tooth comb.
An Old Route to Be Worked.
Senator Allen, of "Washington, lives
close to the British border, so he and his
colleagues on a specially authorized com
mittee will spend a portion of their vaca
tion looking into our trade relations with
Canada, a subject that has been frequently
investigated by Senatorial committees in
recent years, but without results.
Senator Gorman was probably somewhat
influenced in his declination to serve as
chairman of the Democratic Campaign
Committee by the fact that he is the head
of a special committee to investigate the
joint stock companies in be District of
Columbia, with a view of ascertaining their
mode of issuing stock and doing business.
This duty will require him to visit Wash
ington frequently during the vacation, and
.may prevent him from pending much .time
at Democratic headquarters in' New York.
Senator Piatt, of -Connecticut, has per
mission to take the Committee on Terri
tories to New Mexico, Arizona and Okla
homa to ascertain whether these territories
are entitled to Statehood.
A Real Estate Fight to Settle.
Senator Manderson, the president pro
tempore of the Senate, has permission
during the recess to bargain for a suitable
site for the new Government printing office
bnilding in this city, and settle if he can
the real estate fight set on foot by the
attempt of ex-Senator Mahone to have his
property selected as the favored site.
Senator Felton, of California, is afraid
the timberlands of the "West are being de
stroyed too rapidly, so he has been author
ized to inquire Into the depredations in the
forests and report next winter.
Senator Perkins, the successor ot the late
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, served in the
House of Representatives long enough to
learn how'to secure a summer excursion at
Government expense, and he has been ap
pointed chairman of a special committee to
investigate the subject of legal contests be-
tn thi ftnremmenfc find several State
growing out of the withdrawal and sale of 1
public lands.
The Senate Committee on Finance has
authority to investigate the questions in
volved in the failure of the Maverick Bank
of Boston. Such members of the commit
tee as desire to visit Boston, Bar Harbor
and that vicinity will have their expenses
paid out of the contingent fund of the Sen
ate. Senator Chandler's committee has been
investigating the subject of immigration for
several months past, but they need more
light in that connection, which they say
can only be obtained during recess, so they
will go at it again.
Dry Dost to Be Due; Into. s
Senator Wolcott is Chairman of a com
mittee authorized to investigate the work
ings of the eeological survey.
Senator Stewart, after spending days and
days in the Senate discussing the silver
question, deems it necessary to have a
special committee, of which he is the Chair
man, to investigate the subject of the pro
duction of gold and silver.
Senator Dawes has been Chairman of the
Committee on Indian Affairs almost dnring
his entire service In the Senate, and al
though his term expires next March he has
obtained permission for his committee to
make a visitation to the Indian country
during the recess. These trips to the In
dian country are generally made in company
of the ladies of the Senatorial families and
followed by gifts ot Indian curiosities to
the members ot the committee, in addition
to the new supply of knowledge as regards
the management of the savages, observed by
close contract and keen observation.
There were several other applications for
the appointment of special Senatorial com
mittees to sit during recess, but Senator
Cockrell, together with two or three of his
economical associates, objected.
A Proposed Junket for Everybody.
Senator Cockrell says this practice of ap
pointing special committees to serve during
the recesses of Congress is becoming so com
mon that he proposes to introduce a resolu
tion next winter providing that every mem
ber of the Senate shall have a special com
mittee during the summer. He holds that
it is unjust to discriminate in favor ot a
few Senators.
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,made
a desperate straggle to have a special
Senatorial Committee apointed to Chicago
during the recess of Congress on an investi
gation of the "World's Fair. There was
considerable opposition to the suggestion,
but he was so persistent that the Senate
finally appointed him a committee of one
to go to Chicago at his own expense and
make a careful inspection of the World's
Fair buildings, ana everything that per
tains to them. His anxiety' to see the
Chicago fair has probably subsided, in
view of the fact that no provision was
made for his expenses out of the contingent
fund.
Toe members of the House of Bepresenta
tives are not. as a rule, aeekinor iunket
trips this year. Instead of gadding around
the country at the Government's expense
the majority are obliged to go home and
hustle to try and secure a re-election to the
Fifty-third Congress.
JUDAISM LAW AND ORDER.
Seeds of Anarchists, Especially Iterkman's
Act, Denounced by the Grand Master ot
the Free Sons of Israel Stringent Im
migration Lam Needed.
NewYobk, Aug. 7. Julius Harburger,
Grand Master of the Independent Order
Free Sons of Israel, addressing a meeting
of the order here to-day, said among other
things:
In 1880, when tho religious crusades In
Eoumanla and Imperial Bussia took place
against the Hebrews, emigration by thou
sands set in toward American shores. With
the yearly increase numbers of Anarchists
and Nihilists, made so through a brutal Gov
ernment, came over with these unfortunates
and preaehed tuelrdamnableand pernicious
doctrines. Tney had forgotten the essence
of the teachings of their fathers that Juda
ism la a religion of law and order.
The dastardly and cowardly attempt of a
Bussian Nihilist dnynamlter and Anarchist
upon the life of tho manager of the Car
negie works at Homestead bas shown the
effect of the pernicious doctrines that have
been Inculcated In the minds of many of
these aliens who land on our shores with
out the first conception of the duties of an
American citizen, and the liberty afforded
to every Individual under our form of gov
ernment. I am in favor or rigidly enforcing
the return of all aliens who are known as
Nihilists, dynamiters and Anarchists. Our
flag is broad enough to embrace men of all
creeas, colors and nationalities; but when
they come here with torch and sword we
have no room for them. As we guard our
ports against cholera and disease, so we
should ward off the approach of moral con
tagion or political disease.
AFIEB LAKE SHIPPING.
Two Strange Craft Under Construction at
Toledo for a Ballroad Company.
Detboit, Aug. 7. Preparation is being
made, and the experiment will be tested
during this fall and winter, to deal ship
ping interests of the Great Xakes one of
the severest blows that the industry has yet
received from the railroads. Apart from
the package freight carried by swift steam
ships, there is hardly anything for vessels
to take from Lake Erie to Lake Michigan
excepting coal. It is upon this traffic that
the railroads are now casting their eyes.
At the yard of the Craig Shipbuilding
Company, in Toledo, there are under con
struction two huge and peculiarly shaped
hulls. They are 260 feet long, E2 feet beam,
and 19 feet deep, and will cost when com
pleted 180,000 each. They are for the To
ledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Bail
road, and will both be completed this fall.
It is by the aid of these that managers of
that road expect to gather in a large share
of the coal, and also the ore traffic, which is
now moved by water.
A PINKERT0N TESTIFIE&
He Had Joined the Gem Miners' Union to
Betray the Workmen.
Boise, Idaho, Aug. 7. The principal
witness yesterday in the contempt case
against the Couer d'Alens miners was
Charles A. Strings, a Pinkerton detective,
who under the name ot Allison became a
member of the Gem Miners' Union in
September last and was elected Secretary
of that body. He stated that several of the
leaders of the union told him previous to

SOLD BY THE SHERIFF.
Democrats Trying to Make Political Capital
Out of an Inso'venor.
Anderson, Ind., Aug. 7. The Ander
son Tin Plate Works, established here soon
after the passage of the McKinley bill,
were sold yesterday afternoon under the
Sheriff's hammer to satisfy numerous exe
cutions for debts. The factory has been in
operation since July 1, 1891, employing
four men and as many boys and girls.
Considerable attention has been paid to it
in this State, great things having been
claimed for the new industry. The Demo
crats are now endeavoring to make political
capital out of its financial embarrassment.
At least one Pittsburg firm is a creditor of
the concern.
HARD WORK FOR PILOTS-
Great Changes Made In tbe Mississippi
River by Late floods.
Cincinnati, Aug. 7. Special" A gen
tleman just returned from a business trip
that embraced all points on the Mississippi
river from Cairo to Vicksburg, says pilots
will find navigation a serious matter be
tween those points; that the channel is com
pletely changed for miles.
Island 98 has been swept out of existence,
the channel moving entirely across the
river. Two million dollars, he thinks, will
not replace the farm land and improve
ments washed away and build tbe new
levees absolutely needed.
IRON MINES SHUT DOWN.
They
Will Ship No More Ore Until
the
Homestead Trouble Is Settled.
Ashland, Wis., Aug. 7. All the mines
under the control of the Wisconsin Central
Bailroad Company, on the Cogebio range,
save the Ashland mine, were closed down
last night and some 2,000 men were thrown
out of employment
The cause of the shut-down is indirectly
attributed to the Homestead strike. No ore
from any mine under the control of tha
Wisconsin Central Company will be
shipped, except from the Ashland mine,
until the Homestead matter is settled.
A REVOLT IN BOLIVIA.

The New Tork Central labor Union re
vises Its Resolution.
a EESORT TO THE BALLOT ADYISED
rspECTJir. tzlsobaii to the msrATcn.1
Boston, Aug. 7. Hugh O'Donneli, the
leader of the iron and steel workers of
Homestead, together with his wife, arrived
in Boston this morning. They are stop
ping at the "United States Hotel, which was
throughout the day and up to a late hour to
night the objective point of local labor men.
In the course of a conversation regarding
the troubles at Homestead Mr. O'Donneli
said:
"I do not see why such a cloak of mys
tery has been thrown around my move
ments since I left Homestead. I have been
in New Tork, and the reporters of that city
had access to me at all hours, as did the
newspaper men in Homestead. Of course,
the mission that brings me East is some
thing that it would not be judicious to
talk about jnst at present. But in
no sense have I been trying to
seclude myself or evade any one. Be
garding the lockout It has just begun, and
the ends not in sight. The iron and steel
workers do not desert the field of battle in
a day, week or month. The Carnegie Com
pany may have 1,000 men or more, butthat
does not make it that the union workers are
defeated.
Skill and Practice Nf oes-ary.
"It requires much skill and practice to
make a competent workman,, and one in
competent man can put the Carnegies to a
great deal of loss and trouble. Even when
there was peace at the Homestead works,
the absence of one man would throw things
out of joint and cause much inconvenience
all around. In these works, where machin
ery plays such an important part, every
man has his place, and his absence has the
same effect as the breaking of a cog or
wheel."
Mr. O'Donneli seemed to be perfectly un
concerned about his arrest, and stated that
he thought the arrests were made with the
hope that the rank and file would become
frightened and surrender to Carnegie and
Frick unconditionally. "The arrest of my
self and others," he said, "is regarded as a
persecution, and these moves of the Com
pany to intimidate the presumably weak
kneed are having the same effect
that all persecutions hare; they have
edified the meii&ud made them more de
termined than ever to win. As for myself
I haue no concern. It can be proven that I
within my power to prevent violence. Even
the Pinkerton men acknowledge this, and
some of them have thanked me personally
for the part I played.
In Communication With Homestead.
"So far as the charge that the men of
Homestead do not know where I am is con
cerned, all that can be said is. that I am in
daily communication with the Advisory
Committee, and receive reports from it
daily as to the progress of the contest
My mission will keep me in Boston for ' a
week, and after that 1 shall make'a tour of
the New England States."
Mr. O'Donneli denied that he had sug
gested placing a boycott on the product of
the Carnegie Steel and Iron Company, or
ordering a sympathetic strike, among any of
the trades. "We believe." he said, "that
we shall win this fight because supnort
'moral and financial, throughout the civil
ized world is being given us. Money has
already been sent to Homestead from Eu
rope, and more is to come."
Begarding the political effect ot the strike
he said: "This deplorable affair should not
be dragged into politics under any circum
stances. Four years ago I worked and
voted for Harrison, for I am a Bepublican
in politics and have been a believer in the
McKinley bill. The outcome of this lock
out will perhaps determine whether or not
I shall continue an adherent of Mr. Mc
Kinley." RESORT TO THE BALLOT
Instead of the Bullet Recommended by the
New Tork Central labor Union A
Revised Set of Resolutions Passed
Financial Support In Sight.
New York, Aug. 7. "ptdal A
week's reflection convinced the Committee
on Laws and Legislature of the Central
Labor Union that the resolutions, on the
Homestead troubles presented Sunday week
were too radical for New York working
men. When the delegates met in Claren
don Hall yesterday the committee to which
the resolutions had been referred had pre
pared a rather milder set as follows:
Whereas, no effort la being spared by the
allied monopolies now dominant in the
Union to divert the attention of the Ameri
can public from the trne issues involved in
the events that have recently taken place
In connection with the lockout at the mills
of Carnegie, Fhipps& Co , at Homes' ead, 1'a.,
Resolved, That ne see iu this conflict the
blind struggle of our fellow, workmen, bound
down by the legislation passed for ihe beno
nt of the monopolists, but which le natation,
we know, is largely the result ot the votes
of these workmen thus bound down.
Besolved, That wo percolve the strength
of the monopolist to be drawn ftom tliu con
trol or tbe lands, coal fleldsnnd mines or the
country, and bolstered up Dy the monstrous
legislation which allows him to sell his piod
uct at his own price, without fear or ontMde
competition; which legislation renders lc
possible lor the head of this monopolistic
firm to live In luxury In a Scottish cnslii',
where he entertains princes while Ills
workmen, banded in delense o. their homes
and families, are being shot down by his
hireling soldiery.
The JIallot the Proper Weapor.
Resolved, That if tbe banded monopolies
of the Union are thus to continue to ruin
the industries they control, regardless of
tbe rights and Interests of the workers,
there is absolutely but one tiling to bo done
to deprive such monopolists or that con
trol. Resolved, That, aa free-born Americans,
we believe our remedy to lie in the sale
guard of tbe ballot, and we call on all work
ers, wheresoever situated, throushout the
Union, In the coming political struggle to so
vote as to shake the hold of the monopo
lists now in control of the commerce, pro
duction and Industries of our country: to so
vote as a a lemn duty to themselves, their
wives and their children.
Resolved, That while we regret deeply
that in tbe conflict at Homestead we have
found ourselves confronted bv.'in aetnal
condition of civil war, and while we regard j
tbe appeal to violence as always calculated
to retaidprogress, nevertheless we consider
It Inevitable that when monopolists of tbe

"All thr? JfjA a the resolutions is,"
said Delegate Bsi5, "that the old reso
lutions advocated the workingmen getting
out of the militia. This is preposterous.
Their full term must be served belore they
can leave."
A delegate proposed that a copy of the
resolutions should be sent to Governor
Pattison.
"I don't see why we should send them to
Governor Pattison," said Bobert Blissert,
in great excitement. "The resolutions as
they are now would please the Democrats
and: Governor Pattison. There isiio reason
why the Central Labor, Union should send
anything to a man so mean as he is." Ap
plause. "Governor Pattison," said Philip Kelly,
of the Theatrical Protective Union, "closed
his ears to the appeal of the Sheriff because
he belonged to another political party. He
sent tbe militia to Homestead when every
thing was qniet and women could go about
in the streets without being insulted.
"Why in the name of God did Pattison
send the militia there? Applause. It
cost ?350,000, and what lor? To protect
non-union men. If we send any recom
mendation to Governor Pattison it should
be to withdraw the troops."
Financial Sanport for the Workmen.
The amendment was put and lost, and the
new resolutions were adopted.
The committee appointed by the Central
Labor Union to collect money for the
locked-out men at Homestead reported to
day that $748 SO had been collected, in
cluding $113 which had been sent to Home
stead. The Labor Day Committee reported
thafWoodaide Park, L. L,had been engaged
for the picnic The proprietor was to supply
two big oxen for nothing, for a barbecue,
Punch and Judy shows tree, and fireworks
in the evening." He was also to buy $100
worth of tickets and pay $65 for musio for
the delegates, and give 20 per cent on the
proceeds of union cigars and "soft drinks"
cold. In addition to this he was to supply
a bar, and beer at $4 a keg.
AGAIN ON THE WARPATH.
Mexican Refugees Working Up Another
Revolutionary Movement.
tSFECIAL TELranlM V) THE DISPATCII.1
Bio Gbajtde Citt, Aug. 7. The Mexi
can refugees on this side ot the border are
again on the warpath and are endeavoring
to work up another revolutionary move
ment against Mexico. General Lorenzo
Garcia, who commands the northern
military force of Mexico, with
headquarters at Mier, received word that a
band of revolutionists had opened a recruit
ing station and established their rendezvous
at the Jabaline ranch, below this city. He
at once telegraphed the information to
General Frank "Wheaton, commanding
the miltary department of Texas,
and the latter ordered Second Lieutenant
Laughorne, of the Third Cavalry, stationed
here at Ft. Binggold, to proceed with a
detachment of 30 men to the scene of the
reported revolutionary gathering.
The troops left here two days ago, and
nothing has since been heard from them.
It looks as though the Mexican revolution
ists along the Bio Grande border have en
tered upon their second winter campaign
against Mexico. United States Marshal
Paul Fricke and his posse are still scouting
for Gatarino Garzo northwest of here.
-- A CHAUTAUQUA TRAGEDY.
A-Bade Lover Strikes as Woman and Ellis
Her" Defender and Himself.
Jamestown, N. Y., Aug. 7. A terrible
murder and suicide was enacted this even
ing in the Florence Hotel at Flavana, three
miles above this city on the lake. Patsy
Dowd, of Dunkirk, was out drinking with
two women from this city. They had some
words and Dowd struck the woman in the
mouth, drawing blood. They drove on until
all got out and entered the hotel. George
Bass and some companions were there, and
as one of the women, whose name was
Nina Fahey, had blood on her face, Bass
asked her what was the matter. She told
him Dowd had hit her in the face. Dowd
and the women then entered the parlor and
closed the door.
Bass 'and his companions pushed open
the door. Dowd drew a revolver, and Bass
and his companions threw beer bottles at
him. He fired and Bass fell dead with a
bullet in his heart Dowd then left the
hotel and the police from this city were
sent for. Dowd returned in a few moments,
and, seeing what he had done, turned the
revolver toward his heart and fired four
shots into his body. He died in a short
time.
HILL TO BE HEARD FROM.
The Senator Thinks the Chances Favor the
Democratic Farty.
New Haven, Conn., Aug. 7. ferial
Senator David B. Hill and party
steamed into the harbor on the Fra
Diavalo this afternoon. The entire
party are guests of the Pequot Club.
The Fra Diavalo will sail for. New York to
morrow morning.
In an interview with a reporter here to
day, Senator Hill Bald: "Unfortunately,
our party missed Mr. Cleveland. While
we were" in Buzzard's Bay he was in
New York. We have not seen a single
politician of prominence on our trip."
When asked the probable chances for
Cleveland's success this fall, he said: "I
think the chances are in favor of the Demo
cratic party, but there are many considera
tions to be taken into account" He was
asked if he would take the stump himself. "I
have not decided," said he, "but shall prob
ably be heard from later."
A BIG METAL COMBINE.
Steel Companies Forced by Carnegie Com
petition to Form a Combination.
Wheeling, Aug. 7. Special Ihe de
tails of a big steel and iron combine have
jost been completed here. To-morrow the
Wheeling Iron and Steel Company, com
posed of LaBelle, Benwood, and Top Hill
Companies, and the Wheeling steel plant
will take formal possession of all the pro
perty of the four concerns.
The combined capital of the four concerns
is more than 8,000,000. The company will
be the largest in the Ohio Valley, after the
Carnegies. The projectors of tbe company
state that the combine was made necessary
by the efforts of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany to crush out its smaller competitors.
STRIKE FOR RECOGNITION.
Three Thousand Wheeling District Miners
to Come Ont To-Day.
Fairmont, W. Ta, Aug. 7. SperiafJ
To-morrow 3,000 miners in this portion of
the Monongahela valley and the Wheeling
district will begin a strike to force recogni
tion of their labor organization. The ope
rators throughout this section have made a
hard fight against the labor union, and they
declare they will close their mines perma
nently if necessary to win tbe struggle.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists among
tbe union miners of the Kanawha valley,
and it is probable the strike will spread to
that section, when 10,000 men will be
affected.

OFFICIALS AFTEE EVIDENCE.
Sunday Crowds Tisit tha Fcene of the
Tragedy for Belies.
THE WOUND WHICH CAUSED DEATH
The body of Martin Beed has he-en posi
tively identified. The remains of the
Washington county murderer, who on Sat
urday evening suicided in an icehouse at
Noblestown, where he had been hiding
after having added another murder to his
list by killing Deputy Sheriff Hugh Coyle
and wounding Chief of Police Orr, of Wash
ington, were brought to this city early yes
terday morning and placed in the morgue.
Coroner McDowell impaneled a jury,
viewed the charred remains, took enough
testimony to establish the identity of the
body, and, after having an autopsy held,
turned it over to Detective W.B. McBride,
of Washington. McBride is one of the de
tectives who tracked the escaped felon to
his death. He took the body back to Wash
ington last evening, turned it over to
Sheriff Chenyand will to-day claim the
5SO0 reward offered by the Washington
county commissioners for Eeed's body, dead
or alive.
Positively Identified as 3Iartln Beed,
Coroner McDowell, on the evidence he
secured, issued a certificate that the body
was that of Martin Beed, thereby disposing'
of the story that the dead man was one of
the Cooley boys instead of Beed. De
tectives McBride and Williamson and
Chief of Police Orr all positively state that
they had a full view of the man in the ice
house before it was set on fire, and that it
was Beed beyond a doubt. McBride saw
him twice at the gable window, Orr saw
him distinctly when he went into the build
ing and was shot, and Williamson saw him
through an opening in tbe side of the byl1
ing just before the shot was heard which, it
is believed, ended the murderer's life.
The post mortem examination was made
by Dr. B. J. A. Irwin yesterday morning.
It developed that instead of having put ft
bullet-into his brain Beed had very care
fully held the revolver to his right breast
above the nipple, fired the bullet through
his breast and downward. It passed
through his heart and the lower lobe of
the left lung, struck and shattered tha
ninth rib and passed out at his left side.
The man evidently calculated the right
place with careful deliberation.
The Body Frightfully Disfigured.
A v denfribed !t yr.KMas'a T)Tn frr-rya
body was frightfully charred and was entie',"'
ly unrecognizable. One leg was burned of
below the knee, the other at the ankle am
both hands were gone. The trunk wa.
cooked on the outside, but the internal ori
gans, except the heart, were shriveled up.
The heart when taken out was in good con
dition, and the course of the ball through
it was plainly visible. Every feature of
the face had been obliterated by tbe flames,
and the skull was so charred that the top of
it crushed like an eggshell when the body
was taken out of the building, leading many
to suppose that-- Beed had shot himself in
the head.
The coroner's inquest on the deaths of
Beed and Deputy Sheriff Hugh Coyle. who
was shot by Beed as he put his head in the
doorway of the ice-house and called to Beed
to surrender, will be commenced at 3
o'clock this afternoon. Coyle'a body was
taken to his home in McDonald Saturday
night. The interment is to be at the Broad
head cemetery, Cratton, this morning;
When the funeral arrives the coroner will
be on hand with the jury. The casket will
be opened, the jury wIH view the remains
and then withdraw. No testimony will be
taken until the inquest at the coroner's
office.
Several Prosecutions to be Entered.
The Washington county officials declare
their intention of making it exceedingly
warm for a number of persons who have
harbored Beed since his escape from fail
last May. They claim to have sufficient
evidence already to fasten grave charges
against two or three parties, and they will
spend considerable money, if necessary, to
gather more. District Attorney Parker, of
Washington county, was in the city yester
day and conferred with Coroner McDowell
and District Attorney Burleigh with a view
to securing their co-operation. Needless to
say, the local officials willingly agreed and
some important testimony is expected at
tbe inqnest to-day.
Detective McBride while in this city yes
terday told an acquaintance that his chose
after Beed had cost him $285, but tbat if he
received the $300 reward he would give f 100
of it to Chief of Police Orr, for the assist
ance he had rendered, and 200 to Detective
Williamson, who McBride savs has been
working for 'him. As Williamson is a
brother of Hngh Coyle's widow it is sup
posed she will get a portion of the money.
A Xon2: Chas After Reed.
While here yesterday McBride detailed
his chase after Beed since his escape. "I
have a licensed detective bureau at Wash
ington," said he, "and as soon as the reward
was offered set abont to capture it and
Beed. In June, not long after his escape, X
had him located down among his relatives
at Murdocksville, the junction of Beaver,
Washington and Allegheny counties, but
when I went down there Beed's kinsmen
and all their neighbors denied that such a
oerson was there and talked me out of it. I
believe the neighbors were honest about
it, but I am satisfied the Beed con
