The biscuit company having gobbled tip the Eastern cracker bakeries, came here and bought out the Kennedy liiscutt Company, but failed in'itsjnegotiatiouR withanother large concern. theDaka bakery. Then tho Trust declared war, the Dako bakery people, in self-defense, retaliated by organizing a combination among Western cracker manufacturers. As far as could be learned to-day there are'about seven large Western concerns that have formed an association to tight the Eastern fellows, Tho Western combine is yet negotiating with other firms. The war promises to bo a bitter one, because thero aro large profits in tho cracker business, and a sharp reduction in prices is predicted. looking for a riendlsh Murderer. Aliiuquekquk, X.

ANGBY DAIRYMEN. Secretary Rusk's Attempt to Wipe Out Pleuropneumonia Resented by Long Islanders. New York, June 12. The stringent measures adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture to stamp ont the virulent disease of pleuro-pneumonia in cattlo from its last stronghold in the counties of Kings and Queens, on Long Island, has created tremendous excitement, and aroused the dairymen into an attitude of armed rebellion. It is understood that Secretary Rusk has recently received private intimation that unless this disease bo affectively extirpated a severe quarantine will be proclaimed by England against the importation of American cattle. This will paralyze one of tho most important branches of American industry for the tinio being, and result in an incalculable loss to Western cattle-raisers. Last week Secretary Rusk spent two days in New Y'ork, and energetically impressed upon his subordinate officers. Mr. W. Jud6on Smith, government agent for the Eastern States, and Dr. A. K. Robertson, chief inspector for the State of New Yorlc. tho urgent necessity of gathering in and killing ail cattle diseased or exposed. A great raid was therefore organized and executed by the two gentlemen named. At tha head of a large posse of tho bureau euloyes. Dairymen were not fonnd unprepared Vor vigorous resistance. They launched paving-stones, brick bats and other missiles upon tho invaders. Hand-to-hand encounters took placo. and in some instances pistols were drawn. Some of the herds were so strongly defended that the bureau forces were unable to capture them. Next day the headquarters of the bureau in Brooklyn were in a state of Beige. Dairymen and dairywomea joined in a chorus of execration and denunciation. Some had obtained writs of replevin, which were practically useless, because all tho captured cattle had been immediately slaughtered. Meautlrae. Dr. Robertson and Special Agent Smith had sought peace and immunity in New York city, and only returned yesterday morning. It is understood that there will be other raids, and that Secretary Rusk will not modify the stringency of his measures until this last lurking placo of , pleuro-pneumonia be eliectually conquered and cleansed.

SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR, Large Attendance at the Opening Session ot the Ninth Annual Convention. St. Louis. Jnno 12. Tho ninth annual convention of tho Young Poeple's Society of Christian Endeavor met in Musio Hall, in this city, at 4 olock this afternoon, 4,500 dolegates being registered as present and several special trains reported en route with other large delegations which will arrive to-morrow. Rev, Francis E. Clark, president of the United Society, presided. After Scripture reading by Rev. Gebhardt, of New York, an opening prayer by Rev. Homer, f Wisconsin, and the election of Rev. Sherwood, of New York city, as chief scribe, and President .Holdridge, of tho Illinois State Union, as sistant, Hon. David R. Francis, Governor of Missouri, vas' introduced and made au address of welcome, opening with tho remark of how refreshing it was to turn from the business day world and welcome such a body of young Christians. On commending the aims and labors of the society in all its length and' breadth of national operation, he dwelt with special emphasis on its growth, pronouncing it marvelous and almost unparalleled, developing in nine years into a body of over a half million members, for which so much was due to Father Endeavor Clark. Through your efforts, he said, denominational lines are how disregarded, if not en tirely eradicated, and all Christians are united "for Christ and the church." Following this was a eulogy on Christianity as the basis of .all law, government and society, and would there were, he said, a Christian Endeavor society in every town and hamlet of this great country. Closing, in . behalf of the people of this city and State, ho gave a most hospitable welcome to our gates. Rev. Dr. S. J. Nicholls, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church oi this city, followed with a brief and eloquent welcome, specially in behalf of the Christian churches .of and citizens of St. Louis. In comparing tho Christian Endeavor Society with other religions bodies, he referred to it as the baby of the family, yet what a big baby, not yet ten years old and numbering CGO.000 members. Not new in principle, for young people's societies have been known for fifty years; but something was always needed for their larger efficiency, and that something has been found in the Endeavor society. Speaking of the power of young people, he quoted a long list of youthful names, farn m& and honored in the pages of history, such as young David, Alexander, Napoleon and politicians down to the young Governor who had just addressed us; then other names famous in literature like Luther, Calvin, Wesley and, lastly, the world's Redeemer, only thirty years ot age. "To young men belongs the lead of the world's progress,'1 he said, "and in this society is our hope and the drilled army for the future, just what we need for emergencies ahead,'! Response to the address of welcome was made hy Rev. John Henry Burrows, D. D.. pastor of tho First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, who expressed' in a forceful way the gratitude of the visitors at the kind words of hospitality from the young Governor and the oldpastorof twenty-fiveyears' service in a church of this beautiful city. Complimenting the work of the committees, he said it would be hard to excel when wo welcome you to the shores of the lake at the World s Christian Endeavor Convention in connection with the Columbian exposition in 1893. Tho tru stees of the United Society, whom he represented, are ohielly residents near Boston, where they meet mouthlv in council with the Hon. John Wanamakcr.of Washington, and the speaker, who labored in the humbler sphero of an ed'ort to christianize Chicago. At the close of this lirBt session, Secretary Bear read telegrams of greeting from Massachusetts, Illinois and Indiana, and the session closed with the song. "Stand up, stand up for Jesus' by the chorus of eight hundred voices, and benediction was pronounced by Dr. Palmer, of Lafayette-avenue Presbyterian Church, of St. Louis. The evening session was opened by singinir, by the chorus of several hundred voices on the stage, of "Onward Christian soldiers," and other religious songs, the entire audience of several thousand delegates and others joining in the chorus. After Scripture reading by Rev. W. M. Brooks, president of Mount Tabor College, and prayer by Rev. E. R. Burkhardt, ot Cedar Rapids, la.. Rev. F. E. Clark. D. D., president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, delivered a long address on the subject, "A modern uprising and its significance." Tho central idea of tho address was that the modern uprising is the Christian Endeavor movement, which is a revival of the covenant. Dr. Clark be3 an by saying that the year that ended nne 1, 1W0, was a most notable one in the annals of the Christian Endeavor movement. This stream of Christian activity among the young people had gathered volume and force until on July 1, 1 830, thero were recorded 7,fi72 societies, with 4S5.000 members. Just eleven mouths later, June 1, INK), there were recorded 11,013 societies, with CC0.000 members. Every month 17,000 persons had been added to their ranks; every week 4,000 young soldiers enlisted. during the past eleven months. And yet these figures, though they express mosttangibly the results of the past year, were of the least significance. What enemies had they conquered? What battles had they foughtf These were questions that could not be solved by any resort to the multiplication table. To answer the questions fully we would have to step into 11,000 prayer-meetings and listen to a half million members as each month they rnew their covenant service. Wo would havo to follow the 11.000 look-out committees in their Christlike task of winning the new recruits, and the 11,000 pray erneeting committees, as they plan for the weekly prayor-mcetings and the monthly roll-call, and the 11, COO social committees, stretching forth r0.000 pairs of hands as they strive to make it plain that Christ's service is not grievous but joyous. We would have to also follow tho 11,000 Sunday school committees, tho missionary committees, the temperance committees, and the Uower missions which send the blossoms God'& own messages of love after they had made bright the sanctuary to the bedside of tho sick. One result is that at least 70,000 havo joined the churches of America from tho society. Following Dr. Clark's address General Secretary J. F. Bser, of Rochester, Minn., now resident of Boston, made a few remarks. Then came the regular convention sermon by Rov. P. S. Han&on, D. D of Chicago. Tho formal session then closed with song ana benediction, and was succeeded by an informal reception in the art gallery of tho Exposition Buildinir, lasting until nearly midnight. TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES. Prohibition Discussed by the National Congress -Outspoken Views on the Suhject. New Yokk, Jnne 12. The national tern peran co congress resumed its session this morning. The Rer. Dr. Deems annonnced-

for discussion the topic, "Should there bo a political party whose dominant idea is the prohibition of the liquor traffic." The Rev. Dr. H. K. Carroll, editor of the Independeet, took the ground that such a national party was not needed. Prohibition was a question that did not come, except in a limited degree, within the scope of Congress. Congress has power only to prohibit the sale of liquors in the lerritories, in tho District of Columbia, at army posts and on board United States vessels. Prohibition is evidently a State question. A national party, to live, must have a dominant national issue, and prohibition is not such an issue. The speaker tnought we would have more prohibition if we had fewer prohibition parties. The Rev. Dr. John Bsscom, late president of Wisconsin University, said the Republican party is now under the most unscrupulous leadership. It cannot be trusted to secure prohibition, hence the necessity of a Prohibition party, which shall devote itself to that one question, and force the politicians to assent to it. E. C. Heath. exProhibition candidate for Governor of Texas, forcibly declared Jin favor of a Prohibition party. Mr. Hillyard. of Boston, spoke in opposition to a prohibition party. He thought this was to be a congress or conference, bnt it seemed to be only a caucus. There seemed to bo no room for anyone excepting those having one idea and one sentiment. The next subject taken up was "The relation between temperance reform aud improved dwellings." R. Fulton Cutting referred to tenements and the discomforts to which their inhabitants aro condemned, and then pictured the attraction of bright, well-titted, warm and spacious saloons, where companionship and sociability can bo found. Much as he detested the Baloons had he the power to close them to-morrow he would not do so while so many poor toiling men aro condemned to such dwellings as they now occupy. The first topic for discussion in the afternoon was "To what causes is to be attributed the failure of the Prohibition amendments in the late contests in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island." II. P. Foxon. of Massachusetts, attributed tho defeat in his State .to the fact that high license had been placed upon the statutes a short time before- tho campaign, and that Boston was determined that it should get the $SSS,30S to be . derived from license fees. Local option, the speaker thought the shortest and best road to prohibition. Tho Erohibition party, he said, is exerting a ealthful and restraining influence on the Republican party. As for tho Democratio party it cannot be trusted to do anything which will advance temperance and morality. The Democratio party is composed of .the political sewage of almost every nation

on the globe, and it seems natural for a large percentage of this class, especially the Irish, to shout for Democracy and free rum. In the present condition of affairs he advised reformers to be absolutely independent by voting only for candidates representing their principles. The feature of the afternoon's session was the discussion of the attitude of the labor unions toward tho liquor traffic It was opened by Samuel Gompers. He said, as a rule, that laboring-men were indifferent to the temperance aud prohibition movement. Under-paid laborers, unable to procure proper nourishment, sought relief in liquor, and looked upon any attempts to deprive them of it as a movement to secure for the rich privileges which they could not enjoy. Personally Mr. Gompers favored temperance. Mr. T. S. Wakeman followed, and said that tho present attitude of the Prohibitionists was antagonistic to the work'ingmen. . The proposing of sumptuary laws he characterized as a sort of "I-amholier-than-thou" position, and this the laboring man would not stand. The Prohibitionists should discard the religions fanaticism which seems to guide them at present. The Prohibitionist must descend from his pedestal of holiness, study the workingman, place himself on the same level and change the mode of procedure. Mr. Wakeman's little speech created no little commotion. Tho consress did not like his nnasked opinion of its work, and was not slow to let him know it.. v.. . , ; v ; A statement was made by John Lloyd Thomas that drunkenness in England was found in its worst forms among the skilled laborers, those who received the highest Say and had tho shortest working hours. Ir. Gompers answered and flatly denied that this was so, and delied any one to prove it. On the contrary, he declared sobriety was found among those who worked short hours and could buy nourishing food, while drunkenness was common only among the overworked and underfed. The final session of tho congress was held to-night. New England Yearly Meeting. Newport, R. I., June 12. The New England Yearly Meeting of Friends began its sessiou here , this morning.

Chairman Manley, of tho State committee, called the Republican State convention to order at 11 a. m. to-day, introducing Hon. Frederick A. Powers, of Houlton, as temporary chairman. Twelve hundred and ten delegates, an unusually large number for an oil year, were present. After the naming of the committee Attorney-general C. E. Littlefield moved that Governor Burleigh be renominated by acclamation, and he was so renominated. Tho report of the committee on resolutions was adopted, and Governor Burleigh then made a brief speech of acceptance, receiving a perfect ovation. After an address by Hon. H. B. Cleves, of Portland, the convention, at 2:45 p. m., adjourned. The platform adopted favors laws for the frotection of labor, sympathizes with ionest efforts to eradicate intemperance and renews its adhesion to prohibition of the liquor traffic. It demands of Congress tho enactment of such legislation as shall enable each State to exercise full control within its borders of tho traffic in all liquors, whether imported in original pack ages or otherwise. It favors a system of taxation under which all nroncrtv shall he reached for taxation and shall bear its just proportion ot the public burden. It favors an elective system free from corruption. and it Approves or legislation to secure that end. It favors liberal pensions for servico rendered in the war of the rebellion.

MONEY FOR SOLDIERS. Bills Passed by the House for the Benefit ot Veterans Appropriating S167,410,?3L Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Juno 12. A statement was made on the floor of the House this afternoon which showed that the Republicans in this Congress have taken unexceptionable and uncqnaled caro of tho Union soldiers, their widows and orphans. Coh Henderson, of Iowa, from the committco on appropriations, reported a bill to mako good the second pension deficiency which has arisen since last December. Tho first deficiency amounted tc about $22,000,000. The one asked for to-day amounted to $370,000, and is to meet the deficiency in payment of pension certificates which have accumulated at the various agencies throughout the , country. Ho stated that the deficiency was due to tho very large number of original pensions recently allowed and tho increases which wero not anticipated; that a largo number of original pensions were allowed during the past six months which aggregated from 12.000 to $16,000 each, and that the average first payment of each of the original pensions during the past six months was $4S0 a much larger average than ever before. The appropriations dur ing this session of Congress for soldiers, for all causes, aggregated 167,419,731 over onethird of the estimated gross receipts of the government for the nscal year lbOl. Tho estimated receipts for the next fiscal year are 54o0,414,837. Colonel Henderson thought that when the federal government was pay ing out to the soldiers more than one-third of its gross revenues, there was no possible criticism that could be made against the) Renublican narty not caring for the defenders" of the 'country. The appropriations made by the House thus far are: Regular pension bills $98,427,461 Urgent deficiency 21.C13.000 Boldlers' Home (deficiency) 81,009 Artificial liinhs (deficiency) 0,000 Pay and bounty claims i,lJ3,6l0 Boldlers' homes 2,601,705 Aid for State homes 400.000 Artificial limbs 402.000 Pay and bounty claims 6S0.000 Expenses Pension Office 2,139,150 Records and pension division, War Department b37,ZTO Act lor total helplessness. 45,000 General pension act (passed yestcrdav : 33.ooo.ooo Urgent deficiency 3,708,833 Total. .$167,419,731 Chairman Morrill, from the committee on invalid pension, reported a resolution to . the llouso to-day to print 1.000 copies of the dependent-pension bill which was agreed upon in Congress this week, the same to be distributed between the memmembers of the two houses; also, 500 copies of the prisoners-of-war bill. He said that there was an enormous demand for theso bills by the beneficiaries-of it. and he wanted to meet the demand as far as possible. Tho law, he said, would not be published for some time. Instantly there wero a dozen or more members on their feet, and they began submitting motions to amend the resolution, increasing the number ot copies to be printed. The resolution was amended again and again, until, when it was hnally adopted, it provided for the printing of 10,000 copies of each of the bills. FRAMING AN ELECTION BILL.

When tho proofs are returned the committee will meet again probably on Saturday next and continue ine wont 01 arranging ueiaws. como ui the changes made already in tho original Rowell bill are: A provision that in cases of conllict between the returns eeut in by State election officers and by those of tho United States supervisors the latter are to constitute prima lacie evi dence of the right of the membur to 111s seat, and a provision that the United shall appoint a board of three persons, representing both political parties, to canvass CtalCS W v A fell 1 14 u vicvuuu uigvitv v the returns of tho supervisors. A problem that is giving the 'committee some concern is how to formulate a provision for insertion in tho bill to carry out its desire to prevent the wholesale and wrongful discnfranchiKcment of voters, ns alleged to prevail in South Carolina, and 10 meet iuo aiiegou ugium huu .iuiiu Carolina fraudulent practices in connection . with the "purging" of tho lists of voters. It appears that much difficulty is being experienced in making the supervisory system fill theta needs, but the committee is confident of its ability to solre the question. It is expected that the bill will be completed in time to permit of its submission to another caucus next Monday. CONTESTED SEATS IN CONGRESS.

The two Mississippi cases would have been reported yesterday but for the absence of Judge Houk, in whose charge they are. It is the common belief that both Mr. Catchings and Mr. Hooker, tho sitting Democrats, will be retained in their seats by the committee. The reports in both cases aro expected by Mr. Rowell, at Friday's meeting of the committee. Judge Houk, himself, favors seating Hill, the colored contestant, but so strong is the pressure being brought to bear upon tho other members of the committee and on the members of the House, in favor of General Catchings, that his chances are very good. Ho is an old member and a very able man. and, as a member of the committee on rivers and harbors, he has in this and previous sessions done many favors for which the members aro now anxious to 6how their ap-
