Mr. Springer has notified them that he will object to any burried consideration of the measure. If the bill comes up before the boli- days, filibustering tactics will be resorted to in order to prevent its consideration. A REPUBLICAN Cavous. There was a caucus of Republicans held at the Arlin Hotel last evening to canvass the situation on the tariff question. There was present Hiscock, Reed, Kelley and McKin- ley of the Ways and Means Committee; Goff, Cannon, Levy, Burrows, j Bingham, Warner of Missouri, yne, „ Buchanan and others prominent on the Bepublican side of the House. After some three hours’ discussion of the sub- ject, it was agreed that the party will oppose the consideration ofthe tariff measure. The meeting, however, was more of a caucus com- mittee rather than a caucus itself, though the sentiment expressed reflected the course to be pursued. It is doubtful if the leaders will be abie to control the entire Republican membership. There is no evidence to warrant the belief that those Repubiicans voting with the Morrison Yaction at the last session will vote other than they did last Juse.

WasSuHINGron, D. C., December 14.—Joseph Levy, an assistant business manager for Law- rence Barrett, bears a striking resembiancé to Congrest man Hanback of Kansas. This morn- ing a representative of the Baltimore & Ohio Raltread met Mr. Hamback in the corridor of the capitol. Supposing it was the theatrical manager, the railroad official began talking business, saying he would carry the troupe to thelr next stop- ping place at atly reduced rates; would run a special car for Mr. Barrett and give ten pas- ses to certain members of the company, if Mr. Levy would select his road. Mr. Han- back, who is at times hard of hearing, did not understand fully what the railroad official said. He caught the words ‘‘railroad passes, and immediately supposed the person talking was one of the numerous Pacific Railroad lobbyiste and was ee to bribe him to vote for the funding bill. Mr. Hanback grew wild with indigna- tion, and threatened to call a _ police- man and have the railroad of cial thrown out ot the Dullding. The mistake was discovered and the necessary apologies and explanations made. Strange as it may appear, it Was not more than an hour after this until Levy was going through the corridors, when he was accosted by or- keeper Coakley and told to go inside quick as the Speaker was calling the States for the introduction of billes Levy replied that he had nothing to do with the speaker or the introduction of bills, but he was in search ofa railroad man to contract for trans .

THE 8. 8. SERVICE. Next Year’s to Be Ueld in May at the Fair Grounds—Change to Satarday. There was much talk among the Superintendents yesterday about the plans for next year’s demonstration.

Besides, the demonstration ought to be held in a larger piace, say the Fair Grounds. I think it would Be expedient to hold it on ‘ome other day than Sunday. MR. JOHN S. MOFFITT, who has borne much of the heat and burden of the demonstration, told a Post-DISPaATCH re- porter this morning that he favored the Faif Grounds as the place and May as the time for the next meeting. He also said that no doubt the Sabbath aspeot of the question would re- ceive attention. REV. DR. 8. J. NICCOLLS of the Second Presbyterian Church, when in- terviewed, at rst expressed no particular disapproval 0 what he called ‘‘simply a coming together to sing religious songs and hear Christian ad- dresses. Upon inquſry, however, and learning that the ehildren were more or less dis- posed to be boisterous, Dr. Niccolis said: „There is a large element in our Christian community that is oppose dg such a demon- stration as that of Sunday, and in defer- ence to their feelings some plan might „de adopted by which the belief in the sanctit of the Sabbath would not be disturbed. think such a service might be held quite as effectively an Saturday.’’ RN.

There is nothing so easy as to destroy y J in a child’s mind the idea of the sanctity of the Sabbath, and we Ought to be as careful as pos- sible to avoid any such result. I would like to see the day changed to Saturday.’’ Mk. D. W. WOODS, Superintendent of the Glasgow Avenue Sun day-school, whose teachers formally adopted a resolution some wecks ago against a Sunday demonstration, said to-uay: os} have not changed my opinion of the justice ofmy teachers’ criti- cism. Ii have talked with several gentlemen, those who were ip the enterprise, and they, ter seeing last Sunday’s ser- ce, tell me that our position is a strong one. I don’t see why it isn’t plain that a week-day demonstra- tion would show the strength of the schools to the public. Letthem gettheir banners and bands then and march and impress the pub- lic, if that is the idea. But Sunday only a few say anything of the demonstration, and in that respect it failed to do what lay in its power. MAY TAKE IT OUT. of Release for Oléomargarine Dealers—The Compromise.

London, December l4.—The most important points in the cas@of Lady Colin Campbell were established by the evidence yesterday. All doubt with regard to her relations with Dr. Bird was swept away, and the case against him may de consid- ered dismissed. The medical testimony killed it. The damaging testimony of the steward with regard to what he saw in the dining-room, when it was occupied under look and key by y Colin and Chief Shaw, a black eye by the shrewd testimony of young Blood, brother of Milady, Then the only really definite and direct charge of mis- conduct with Lord Biandford—that is, the al- legation that she remained at the Purfleet Hotel with him from Saturday to Monday— was overcome by the establishment of an alibi through the evidence of several parties. The Purfleet charge is considered absurd anyhow by many who know Marlborough’s reputation as a man of the world. It is a barrack village on the lower Thames where secrecy would be impossible and, more than this, the officers of the Duke’s old regiment are stationed there, and it would be seeking notoriety to appoint an assignation atthe hetel. The Duke sat in the court room throughout the day and was an interested listener to the testimony, particularly at several points where he Was referred to in not very complimentary terms. To-day Lady Miles was also present with her note- book and solicitor. es most interesting tes- timony of the day was given by Mrs. Biood, the mother of Lady Colin. She was attired in plain black, and shows age and weakness 4 ey but neither mentally. She looks lly three score, but was spirited and sh in her replies, her speech being rather musi- cal anti quaint from her Irish brogue. HER FRIENDSHIP FOR BLANDFORD. Just as her daughter, Mrs. Blood did not at- tempt to deny her friendship for the Duke of Marlborough. Shesaid that she approved of his Lordship’s association with her daughter, and that she knew of his record in the divorce court. When asked by Advocate Finlay if she considered him a proper companion for a young and beautiful married woman she re- lied gg A „did not see anything worse — Lord Blandtord than in a great many other men. He has never uttered a word in his own defense, and I think he has received harder judgment than many other men who who were just as bad as he. The spiciest testimony, however, was elicited on the subject of her daughter’s en- gagement and marriage, together with some correspondence between the Duke of Argyle and t prospective mother-in-law, which ute that lady’s attitude toward the marriage 2 another light. When asked if there was any truth in the assertion that she forced Lord Colin into the engagement she indignantly replied that she had not. She said she remonstrated with him for the discourteous treatment of her daughter by his family, and told him that if she was a batcher’s daughter with plenty of money they would have received her more cordially, and he answered ‘‘That is true and it makes my father’s conduct only the more disgust ing. She alleged that Lord Colin was so anx- ious to have his affanced near bim that he in- sisted on having her stay with him at West- te-on-Sea, where he had gone for his health, without chaperone or attendant,andwas angry when she scored him for his audacity. MRS. BLOOD’S LETTER to the old Duke showed that she was not truckling to him, and was a spirited epistiec. It was written some months before the mar- and was read in court as follows: * Lorp Duxe—Few things would de more pain- ing to me than to feel myself called, as uty, voluntarily to enter into communi- a matter of business con- 0 Before opening the wish to explain some- gard to this we saw her toc true to triaMduring which they have been en wou us suffered too much anxietyand worry the last ht months to make it possible for kept longer than is absolutely in her 829 position.

SUICIDE THIS MORNING. Joseph Uebelhard Hangs Himself to a Cross- Beam. Shortly after 70’clock this morning Joseph Uebelhard, a Swiss by birth, hung himself to across-beam in the cellar of A. Wiebusch 4 Sons Printing Company's house, No. 631 South Fourth street. In afew minutes after he was strangied to death the body was cut down and efforts were made to resuscitate him, but they were useless.

He endeavored to end his life lastsummer by ny from a ferry-boat, but was rescued ere he was drowned. Since that time he has been more or less addicted to drink, but latterly led asober life. He re- ported for work early this morning, and read the papers in the preas-room in which he was employed, chatting pleasantiy with the fire- manand watchman. ot sa after the hour mentioned above he tookalantern and de- scended into the cellar. The freeman and the watchman paid no attention to him thinking he had gone below to attend to the furnace. As he did not return, the watchman went after him and found him hanging from the cross-beam. He was taken out into the yard, pnysicians were called, restoratives ap- plied but the man had ceased to breathe and nothing was ieft to do but dispose of the body. . Wiebusch thinks U ebel ’s mind must have been deranged when he killed him- self. Uebelhbard has no relatives in the city and none in the country excepting a brother whose whereabouts are unknown. He was unmarried. The body was placed in a coffin at the undertaker’s to await the coroner. The face was black an hour after death. How They Advertise.

New YORK, December l4,—The Scotch yacht Thistle, which Mr. James Bell is to bring over the Atlantic next summer to have a try at the america’s cup, will, in all probability, have four new racers to pick a rival from when she reaches American waters. Mr. Beli’s eager- ness to get his challenge into the hands of the New York yachts ahead of his English friends and his evident determination to carry home the cup, if pluck and money can do it, has stirred American yachtemen up to an unusual degree of enthusiasm in racing matters. Asa result, four men of means have determined to puiid yachts to defend the cup. The yacht that has been the furthest advanced toward definite shape is a sloop, aud will de built in. the spring by J. k. Maxwell who is an active member of the New York, Atlantic and New Haven yacht clubs. The model of his yachtisinthe hands of Messrs. Mumm, ship- builders of Bay Ridge, who, as soon as the final dimensions are de- termined upon, will go ahead with the build mg. Mr. Maxwell is waiting to hear from the sew Thistle before beginning work. If the Thistle is to be mot more than seventy or eighty feet ON THE WATER LIVE be will bulld his yacht with the special pur- pose of defending the cup. He will not go above seventy-five feet on the water line. The limit of dimensions that he has set are as fal- jows: Length over all, 187% feet; keel, 75 fact; beam, 214% feet; draught, 10% feet; depth of hold, 6 feet 8 inches. The model, as in the hands of Mumm, shows lines of Doth the Mayflower and Atlantic. Yachtsmen who have sees the model say that the new yacht will have the Atlantic’s fullness forward of amidships and the Mayflower’s more delicate modeling aft. This, it is thought, will give her great natural stability and speed at the same time. The stern will be set plumb and will run in a curve down to the keel, thus tnsuring quickness in stays. The draught forward will be unusually light, the greatest draught being at the rudder port. This arrangement is made with a view of having an enormously long boom, and & much shorter hoist of sail than usual. The dead rise will be ater than any yacht here. It will be principally in the curve of the garboards, which start from the keel amidships at an angle of 2 In general appearance the new yacht will de- cidediy square. The length of her main-sall, — on the boom, will be somewhat out of proportion tothe height. To give her a show with the tall masted craft in light weather she will an extra long topmast with an enormous spread of light canvas. The club topsall will bea thing to wonder at. The entire rig, so far as salle go, will be that ofa cutter. in bull however, she will be a sloop of 9 — „ Yachtemen say that the short hoist ef mainsail will make her and fast in a gale, and that the topspsils willmakea clipper out of ber in light airs. The rig isa radical, almost violent, depart- ure from the typical sloop rig. Itis ex a that fewer tons of ballast will be carried than on any of the four big sloops. The ballast in- stead of being rum into a box and held on to bolteonthe keel will de ocross-bolted amid- ships on the outside. It may — — de doubted atthis stage of the proceedings, if an inside ballast will be carried at ail. The yacht will have aflush deck trimmed in mahogany. She will be comfortably fitted up for oruising. It is understood that the design is by Mr. Maxwell himselt. The second yacht poaitively under way is to be built by Oliver Iselin, for the s pur- ee of beating the Thistle. Burgess, the th Boston designer of Tun MAYFLOWER, will design her. Nothing is known yet of ber dimensions, as no one in America knows what the measurements of the Thistie are. eral messages have been cabled to Watson, the de- igner of the Thistle, but no answer has n . Mem ef the New York Yacht Club comsider Watson’s silence a huge joke on the anxious 22 who are waiting to lay the keel of Mr. lin’s new clipper. A yachtsman who sailed for England 4 ew days ago prom- ised to get the Thistie’s dimensions some way ud cable them to this country. The third competitor will be built by Dr. J. D. Barron, recently owner of thesloop Athlon. Dr. Barron considered the Athlon a pretty good boat until ne aw what the big sloops could do and then he decided to go for a yacht in order to have some chance for the cop. His new yacht will be not less than tixty feet on the waterline. The ven- ture is to be made by Wm. ler, who, ‘range to say, recently sold the istic to makea mew yacht to beat the Thistle. Mr. Liegier had an Interest in the ill-fated Atlantic, butthat did not seem to discourage him. He bas already got a new — for a new yacht and if all goes well be will build something that will make a hot fight for the cup. — IN THE SPRING, Prospective Engagements of the Lecal Clabs for Exhibition Games.

His reply was that he certainly Yould make arrangements with me for an- ther series of nine games in the spring. We Made the final settlements for the series of last fall and afterwards referred to the com- lug spring. When the Maroons go on the feid then they will be a different club from What they were at the close of last season, ‘ud we can play the Browns a goed game at events.’ ‘‘How about the Detroits and Chicagos?’’ Mr. Von der Ahe said that he wasn'ta bit ‘raid of coming out second best with any of nem and thatthe Browns would shew that Key could play the Maroons, the Chi 8 ‘id the Detroite without suffering a bit. 0 ue now looking forward to a epring of fmes with the Cincinnatis and the villes “Union Park, and the public will have plenty “exhibition games to amuse them the ®ison opens. ebould the Browns and the Maroons con- ade to fill all the e ments. aliuded to ve, the practice would be of great benefit to m for the regular scheduled season.

IT If NOT TRUE. Dixey’s Reply to Eustis’ Charge Against Him—Amusement Notes. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPatTcu. New Ton. December l4.—In the columns of a paper last week there appeared several long sensational stories to the effect that Frederick Eustis, the composer and orchestra leader, and husband of Ida Bell, who plays a prominent part in Henry E. Dixey’s ‘‘Adonis’’ Company, was about to begin a sult of $20,000 damages against Mr. Dixey for alienating the affections of his wife. Mr. Dixey said yesterday: ‘‘The t is a cowardly. wicked lie. s not even a suggestion ot truthinit. Itassaiis me in my home, and the blow struck at me has fallen upon my wife and little ones. The lady 1 feel | ly sorry for. She has always borne an cellent reputation and she isa hard-working andmuch-abused woman.’’ F. M. Deane, Jr., Eustis’ counsel, was seen at his residence last night by the ‘Post- D1s- PATCH correspondent. At first he declined to have r about the matter, but finally said that E did not contemplate suing Mr. Dixey, and that he never charged him with alienating the affections of his wife. Mr. Deane further said that the stories pub- lished were aitterly untrue.

The Knights of Labor After the Camp Spring and Rigina Mills. The trouble in Lammersick’s coopershop two months ago, which resulted in the dis- charge of about forty Knights of Labor, has resuited in the boycott of two cot the leading mils of the city by the Knights. Yesterday the following circular was scattered through- out the citys BOYOOTT.

Twenty-one men were this morning engaged in shoveling the debris away from the sup- posed burial place of Mahan and Palmer at the former location of the A. F. Sbapleigh & Cantwell Hardware Company, 414 to 422 North Main street. Yesterday there were nearer fifty men employed; but they were in each other’s way and hindered the rogress of the search. The bodies are sup- osed to be in the ruins of 420, about twenty eet from the entrance. A gang was —~ 4 at work all night, calcium lights being furnished by the Fire Department. To-day some of the workmen reached nearly to the bottom of the sub-cellar without fading the bodies. The debris as it is thrown he will be tossed over — 418, the entire store of 420 will be explored until the bodies are found—although there is little hope that the will be in re . nizable condition. fire was discovered in the rear art of 422 this morn and hose was trained on it.

In New York and other Atiantic ports, where they actually see the wheat taken and moving out, the feeling is very bullish, and among the exporters, themselves, especially so. Alexander Bing- ham, one ofthe leading New York exporters lately remarked that No. 2 red wheat in New York is going to $1 cash before the first day of March, no matter whether the bulls buy it or the bears sell it, as itis the country that has the wheat to sell that is the bear this year, and the one that has to buy it that is the dull, and the conditions of the last three years are reversed; but this country has been so badly beaten pulling wheat the past few years that it will not believe in the changed conditions on the side 3 have transformed shippe into bulls this Henry Clews : t New York 16 buy ing wheat de- cause he believes it cheap andis now cred- ited with ma gpg a le of longs. . vices received to-day from both New York and Chicago indicate that the New York longs are still holding to their wheat and as bullish as ever, though it has been believed. of late that they were trying to et rid of their load. Chicago, however, is isposed to be bearish, in part because of the increase receipts in the North west—80s cars estimated at Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth to-day—and also ad they do not believe in the strong cables and exports. These heavy arrivais are not causing the Minneapolis milis to sell wheat, as they are having an active trade in their four and the cables they reoéive are encouraging them greatiy. This morning Min- neapolis wired McCorm ok & Co.: ‘Cables 6d higher on flour.“ St. Louis is rather dis- to tail after Chicago. Moses Fraley, who been the staunchest bull talking bearish, and has long wheat, though probably not spot to any extent. His artners, especially Tom Carter, are bearish, Ewald is pronounced on that side, as is Barnes, and Francis and Woods do not believe in present prices. The early spurt carried the market up 4@%&ec, and there was a very strong feeling up to near noon. The bears got their work in afterward, though the latest London cable that came in was stronger. But Clews was reported as offering 250 boat - loads for sale in New York; the rate for money there was said to be 20 per cent, stocks were declining, and the news general! wore the blaest kind of a Sage.

Telegraph to the Post-DIsratcrn. New YorK, December l4.—The investigation of Capt. Paul Boyton’s advertisement for „1,000 men, used to firearms’’ caused a Freat deal of comment among the friends of the swimmer yesterday. ‘‘The Ship’’ was pesieged by able-bodied men ip search of work ughout the day. It was estimated that een dawn and dark 5,000 men answered advertisement, until at last the weary bar- der chalked up the sign, No more men anted to-day,’’ on the doer. The Post- DISPATCH correspondent who inguired for Armand Cico, the Mexican agent“ of Boy- ton, was referred to William Yorke, another of Capt. Boyton’s friends. „ou wish to see Cico?’’ he said with a golemn humor. ‘‘So do a lot of other ple, and serve him right for giving the whole sna @way. He had no business putting Boyton’s mame tn the advertisewent or saying anything utfirearms. That part of it was to have n kept quiet, but he put his foot in it, and ow he has the United States detectives after But has he not been here to-day?’’ **Yes, he was here this morning and enlisted men to work on that railroad. He took them down town and was to come back, but I pore just received a note saying he would have keep out of the way of arrest and lay low a day or two, and asking me to tell all like- men to call again. Boyton left for Chicago ay, when he saw what a mess Cico had © of the advertisement. I saw him off.“ But the bartender told me that Boyton had rned to Mexico, Saturday’’ said the re- rter. **I must have been mistaken,’’explained the Dartender, unblushingiy. That's the way I understood the message left for Mr. Pilking- on by Boyten s nephew. was subsequently learned that Boyton ly sailed Saturday for New Orleans by the Cromwell line Steamer City of New Orleans Which will connect at that port with a steamer Walling for Vera Cruz. MR. NAVARRO’S STATEMENT. J N. Navarro, the Mexican Oonsul-Gen- gral, tn reply to & question as to whether he asked for Cico’s arrest, said: ‘‘Informa- tion came to me this morning that a number Omen, including Vico, held a meeting in ord and discussed plans for joining Cut- *s forves to invade Mexico. Such a scheme very silly,and the Mexican Government is otalarmed by it, but the United States au- orities have been informed of the threatened Olation of the neutrality laws. They will ar- Oloo and take whatever means are neces- to prevent any such action. Should the busters et into Mexico they will all be anged inside of eight Gays. Mexico has 40,000 rogues troops under rms, they can be massed at any pointina week. Before such a force 1,000 raw recruits Would be as a drop im the bucket. The eme, Isuppose, is to have Boyton's fii- ustercrs make a landing on the coast and a Fear attack on the Mexican forces on the eoast, while Cutting’s invaders engage them infront. The disappeinted leaders may take ithe help they can get and make fine prom- os, but they weuld not give Boyton or Cico 000 to en! st mercenaries. Ido not know do; never heard of him. The pretense of hiring men for railway work is a flunsy goreen. All the native railway laborers needed can be hired in Mexico for 50 cents 8 — a So there would be no necessity of ring men from this city for that purpose and paying tl em $50 a montu.’’ DON’T READ THIS less you appreciate a fine old whisky when u getit,andif you don’t wish to lay in a pply ot Oh, be joyful’’ for the coming olidays.

James O’Con- nor’s Statement Denied—The Cardinal Re- fuses to Discuss McGlynn’s Actions—Arch- bishep Leray of New Orleans on the Knights of Labor. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTou. BALTIMORE, December 14.—Oardinal Gibbons was seen yesterday by the Post- DISPATCH cor- respondent im reference to the action of the Church in the case of Rev. Dr, MoGiynn, but said he did not care to say one word respecting Father McGlynn’s actions, nor the action of Archbishop Oorrigan. have not, he sald, ‘‘any jurisdiction in the matter, as that comes under the control of Archbishop Corrigan.’’ **Do you object to giving me the stand that the Roman Catholic Church taxes in regard to the principles advecated by Mr. George?“ ‘*I cannot say anything at all in regard to that gentleman or his principles, but I will say that my greatest desire is to see the reia- tions between empleyer and employe har- monized, and unless there is harmony, injury will result to both parties. Capitalists cannot injure the laboring masses without injuring themselves, and I hope and believe, as every good person does, that their relations will almays be amicable.’’ „There is a report to the effect that the Rey. James O’Connor of the Reformed Catholic Church, New York, in his sermon Sunday night, said that the influence of the Propa- ganda is so great that a priest could be imprisoned for years and his friends know nothing of his whereabouts?’’ THE CARDINAL SHOCKED, The Cardinal’s placid manner seemed to have received asheck as though given by a —— | at this assertion, and he quickly an- ewered, It is utterly false. Ido pot know a single instance Where a priest has ever been confined to any prisen, retreat or anything of the sort. Ican not understand how anyone can make such a statementas that. There is no restraint put upon a priestexcept the ties which bind us together, whichis the love of God. Do Ithink the prosecution of Dr. Me- Glynn is owing to influences brought to bear upon the Archbishop by wealthy men of New ork who desire to crush the labor party? Most emphatically no.’’ **‘What would be the probable punishment of Father McGlynn should the Pope find that he has gone beyond the bounds of, a priest in thus espeusing the cause ot George?’’ „»The punishment varies according to the circumstances. They are sometimes bound to discontinue the exercise of the ministry fora certain length of time, andif the circumstances are very grievous they are then expelied from the ministry altogether, but I can assure you “7 are never confined in prison.’’ The Cardinal refused absolutely to say any- thing further upon the subject, Archbishop Leray’s Opinion. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. NEw ORLEANS. December 14.—A correspond- ent ot the Post-DIsPaTcn called upon Arch- bishop Leray to-day at the episcopal residence to learn his views regarding the rumored determination ofthe Popeto discipline Rev. Dr. McGlynn for his participation in the cam- paign of Henry George. The Archbishop stated he knew nothing about the matter except what be had read in the papers and he declined” to express any opinion on the subject. He conceded the right of the laboring masses to organizeto protect themselves against capital as long as they kept within proper bounds. e had read the constitution and by-laws of the Knights of Labor, and found in them nothing inconsisteat with the laws of the Church, but he understood that the secret work of the order contained some objection- able features which the Church could not ap- prove. Among these was the obligation of obedience. Every man’s actions should be governed by the dictates of his conscience and his sense of right, and he should not romise to blindly obey the orders of any one. bor has the right to protect itself by legal methods, but unfortunately, in times of strikes, it exceeds the right by refusing to allow others to accept situations which have been vacated and frequentiy by the de- struction of property. o one could deny the right of a laboring man te cease to work for his empieyer if he desired, but it should not be forgotten that another had the same right to fll the place as the striker bad to va- cate it, and r. Powderly, continued the Archbishop, haa given it out that the order of the Knights was opposed to vielence or any unlawful methods, and he had no reason to doubt that the leaders of the order were en- tirely sincere in their declarations; but, not- withstanding the obligation of obedience, Mr. Powderly is not always obeyed. Men who are dependent upon their daily labor for food for themselves and families sometimes strike, and, ifjunsuccessful, are SOON IN A DESTITUTE CONDITION. In such acontingency they are not easy of control and everstep the barriers they have erected. The Church, as far as the Arcb- bishop’s diocese is concerned, has taken no action regarding the order, and so far as he knew, no disapproval of the organization had had been officially preneunced in the United States. The condemnation of the Archbishop of Quebec, as he understoed it, was aimed at the secret work of the order, amd could be appeased by alterations in the ritual. To do this, however, would probably require an entire change of the order’s policy. The Archbishop declined#to say anything regarding the recent conferenee between Mr. Pewderly and the dignitaries of the Church in America, and the report of the Archbishops tothe Pope. The Knights of La- bor, said he, in conclusion, form a powerful organization which must exert their influence on the affairs of the country. Mr. Powderly says he bas 1,000,000 men enrolled, which con- stitute a great power within the republic. „One million men,’’ repeated the Arch- bishop earnestly and significantly, ‘‘and all fighting men. ot! are people who read, in- te 1 — men, and itis unfortunate that some of them do not always keep within bounds.’’ Of the future attitude of the Church towards the order, the Archbishop could say nothing.

I deem it my pleasure to testify to the phenomenal effects of BRANDRETH’s Prius upon myself in eradicating from my system the most aggravated form of indigestion, the attacks of which were nearly as severe as spasms. After a costly medical treatment two boxes of BRANDRETH'S PILLS have put me in a better condition than I hare been for years. FRANK W. GILLETT. THE ILLINOIS & Sr. LOUIS. C. P.

ROCKVILLE, Conn., December 14.—While all the relatives ot Doc“ Wilson have been tell- ing what they know and guessed to be the ex- planation of Philip Moen’s remarkable gener- osity, William Wliison, brother of Levi, did not open his mouth until last evening, when the PosT-DIsPaTCH correspondent called upon him. In a long talk he intimated a corrobora- tion of the Boston surgeon, who said, a few days ago, that the secret was the death of a ounge woman, who had died from the effects of an unsuccess- ful operation performed twelve years 242. When the mystery was mentioned he d, „Well, ves, I know what the secret is, but there is one thing that is not true—Levi is not Moen’sson. That is a big biuffof his. He is my own brother. How delknow it? Why I remember the he was born when I saw him lying beside his mother. I was with him for the first years of hislife. He is a Wilson and not a Moen, and his features show that. „I ‘Doc’ is not a Moen, what is the mystery then?’’ was asked. „It is an awful crime, and punishable by imprisonment for life. It K about five months before I got married, which was eleven years ago last August. It was about then, I know, because that was the time Doo had his first big amount of money. I did not hear the secret from Levi himself but from our mother, who told me the whole story. It is awful crime and will biast his good name sooner or later.’’ „What has he done which is so terrible and such an offense in the eyes of the law?’’ He has not done anything; he was simply an eye witness of what was done. The guilty ome was a near relative of Moen, who has borne all the trouble and disgrace, and has kept my brother quiet because he had the secret. It was not premeditated murder, but a dreadful crime. It took place in Massa- chusetts, and will certainly come out. To get your picture, come well dressed, Strauss will make you look your best. A ROMANTIC CASE, John W. Clarke, a Former Indian Agent, Charged with Petit Larceny. DETROIT, Mich., December 14.—When Police Justice Miner called the case of John W. Clarke, charged with petit larceny, yesterday, he wasinformed that the complaint in this case had been withdrawn and the cause was thereupon stricken from the docket. This was all that appeared on the record, and few of the usual motley crowd present knew any- thing of the history of the case or the roman- tic and honorable career of the defendant. It appears from his friends’ statement that Clarke is, and has been for some time past, a klepto- maniac. Some days ago he went into a news- stand and was caught with papers in his pocket which he had not paidfor. The dealer would listen to no arguments and Clarke was arrested. The prisoner was one ofthe two men sent from the United States in 1870 to establish in Japan a postal service. At the time of his selection for this mission he was in the mail California and prior to that had been Indian agent for the Piute tribe in Nevada, during which time he had disbursed without suspicion over $100,000. He had charge ofthe Interior Postal Servico in Japan for six years, during which time st- office buildings were erected at Yokoh N Osaka, Nagasaki and other principal places in that country, and a railway service was es- tablished similar to that in the United States except there was no distribution on the train. On his return to this country in 1883, Mr. Clarke was appointed by President Arthur Indian agent in Arizona, having charge of over 6,000 red men of different tribes. He retained this place until relieved by President Oleveland and then came to Detroit. There was no fault to be found in his accounts, although during his charge of this agency he had handled ,000 of Goyernment money. Clarke’s many friends here were astonished at his arrest for theft, and flocked to his aid. Hespent one night in the station-house, but was bailed out the next day. Whenthe case was explained to the news-dealer he allowed it to drop.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL. Eastern Railroad Managers Opposed and Western Managers Favorable to the Bill. Cnicaco, December 14.—A local paper, whose representative has interviewed the presidents and general managers of the various roads in this city, says they widely differ in their opinions regarding the new interstate com- merce bill agreed upon by the Senate and House Conference Committees. The Eastern managers are 2 in their opposition to the new law, an will Dring utter ruin upon the railroad inter- ests in this country. They claim that the existing railroad pools are the unjust discrimination can be prevented. If the I- to make the charge for the short haul the game as the long prevails it will revolutionize the traffic of the country, as it would stop the competition between the rail- roads and the waterways. The shorter lines would obtain the business and have the effect of increasing through rates. They think that the only thing required to solve the railroad problem is to pass a law legalizing the railway 2 and enforce tne maintenance of the ffs established by the pools. The Western managers are more conservative in their views, and are inclined to look more favorably upon the proposition, thinking that a fair and rea- sonable interstate law will prevent more onerous State legislation. The only qualified exception they o to the proposed law is the on the charge per mile for short auis the same as for the leng. They think the adoption of this proposition of the bill would inflict at injury upon all lines, as it would enable waterways to monopolize the business. They think if Congress would leave out this provision and © the rest of the con- ference bill a fair trial it might result in doin away with of the evils now complain of and the railroads to maintain fair and rates and avold the necessi and effecting — ot main tions for mutual p on.
