Indianapolis. Aug. 22.—The com biued young people’s societies of the various churches have for a few days been circulating a call for. a mass meeting in this city at an early date. Back of the movement is the sentiment created by the Wooley meetings early in the summer for good government., and the purpose of the call is for a meeting of those who prefer to vote for good men rather than adhere to Jhe support of party tickets It is not the plan to nominate candidates for office, but to discuss the merits of those already named as they stand in relation t.O the saloon element and other immoralities. The movement is being quietly pushed aijd the men at the head of it say they do not yet - know what the extent of it will be' They hope for great results. Third Attempt to Nominate a Candidate.

' ram tao«. New York Congressiimn Sidetracks the Anarchy Deportation Bill. STRONG EFFORT (TO PASS IT. Purpose anil Effect of the Proposed Men*tire—Senator Voorliee* Able to Leave Hl* Room For the Flfat Time In Four Week*—Mexico Brought to Time—Other New* of the Capital, WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Strenuous of forts are being made to pass the bill for the deportation of alien anarchists before congress adjourns. Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner of Immigration Stump are very dosing* of having this law us a protection against the S(X) an archists recftirtly expelled from foreign countries and now en route here. The treasury officials have the co-operation of Speaker Crisp and the house managers, but thus far it has been impossible to steer the bill past the objections of I Representative Warner of New York | mid others, who in the absence of a quorum have prevented the passage of the senate bill. When Mr. Warner’s objection sidetracked the bill yesterday efforts were made to get consent by telegraph from Mr. Reed for a special rule bringing the bill to a vote. If this is obtained the speaker and Mr. Catchings will frame the rule. Source of Objection. Mr. Warner is not the only member ready to object to the bill. Representative Goldzier of Chicago says the measure is ill-considered and that it makes no provision for designating who are anarchists and who are subject to summary deporation without trial. Mr. f Goldzier yesterday sent to the secretary j of the treasury an inquiry asking what ' construction would be put on the term “alien anarchist,” as used in said bill. Representative Warner says he will renew his objection whenever the attempt to pass the bill may be made. His I objections are that it places the indictment, trial and sentence of citizens in the hands of administrative officers and on information alone. Under it, he asserts, the harmless man who gave voice to anarchistic vaporings would be seized, 1 while the really dangerous and murderous characters would not be apprehended. Argument For the Measure. A strong report favoring the bill was made by the house committee «on judiciary. The report says: ■ “It is admitted on all hands that the ' question is one of very great importance and that legislation on the subject is j called for by every consideration of pub- ! lie safety. The committee is advised I that, owing to the severe legislation rei cently adopted by France and Italy, a great many dangerous anarchists are maldng their way to the United States, and as under existing laws they cannot be denied admission to our territory the i United States will soon be the rendezj vous of these human monsters unless the I proposed legislation is speedily adopted. I Our committee is of the opinion that the United States is fully justified in using 4. all its powers to prevent immigration and settlement in this country of men who repudiate all law, all government and practically proclaim themselves as : the enemies of mankind. The peculiar I method which they have adopted of inq ; pressing the public of the justice of their views by detestable assassinations and I wanton destruction of property will not I ' commend them to the favorable consid- ; station of any one in this country.’’ Definition of Anarchy. The report takes up the various objections made to the proposed measure and disposes of each of them. Concerning the objection that the bill is faulty in not defining anarchy, the report says: I “As the meaning of the word is defined as ‘absence of government; the state of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state of lawlessness; political confusion,’ and its meaning well known, it is considered unnecessary to encumber the act with a special definition. The committee also points out the folly of trial by jury and argues that there is full constitutional power for the enactment of the law. VOORHEES AT THE CAPITOL. Indiana Senator Ont of His Room For the First Time In Four Weeks. Washington, Aug. 22.—Senator Voorhees was in his committeeroom at the capital yesterday for two hours, for the first time in four weeks. He is still weak on account of his recent illness, but is cheerful and says he is improving. He expressed confidence that the president, would act on the tariff bill soon after his return and permit congress to adjourn. He said, however, he had no information as to the president’s intentions. Mexico Brought to Terms. Washington, Aug. 22. —A celebrated case, which has occupied ft good part of the attention of the state department for seven years and has figured in congress in years gone by, has just come to a successful termination, and the Mexican government has placed with the state department, to the credit of Mrs. Leon McLeod Baldwin, the sum of $20,000 as , indemnity for the. assassination of her . husband, who, while making a tour of Mexican mines owned by Americans, was murdered by bandits. For seven years the government denied liability. ' The claim was originally for SIOO,OOO. No Power to Collect Contributions. Washington, Aug. 22.—Formal re- ’ quest has been made by officers of the ■ National -Negro Democratic league of Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic organization committee, for , the abolishment of the Afro-American i bureau of organization. Senator Faulk--5 m-r says in answer that very good and - sufficient reasons must be produced be- ’ fore the bureau will be abolished, but r that it has no power to collect contnbut tions. I Wilson May Go to Europe. Washington, Aug. 22. —Chairman Wilson will probably take a trip to Europe soon .after congress adjourns. Ho Av- ■ ■■ •'X

has invitations to take a trip up the lakes and another to cross the ocean, and he inclines to the latter, as it gives greater prospect of recuperating his health. He wants to be back before September closes to begin his campaign in West Virginia. His health, however, will not permit a vigorous stumping tour. Postmaster Chosen. Washington, Aug. 22. —B. R Barnhart has been appointed postmaster at Lawrence. Marion county, Ind. ALTGELD’S PROCLAMATION. Call For Aid In Behalf of Suffering Pullinanltes—Some Correspondence, Chicago, Aug. 22.—At the conclusion of a/ conference yesterday afternoon with a committee from Pullman strikers I Governor Altgeld said. "I can do little myself, and if anything considerable were to be done the money would have to come out of the government’s financial resources. I might convene the legislature for the purpose of making an appropriation or I might make an appeal to the people of the state. I think we have gone to the bottom of things now and can proceed intelligently, and it remains to be seen what can be done.” Lust night the governor issued a proclamation to the people of the state, and espotiially those of Chicago, Yeciting the destitution of 6,000 people and calling ripon humane and charitable citizens to I contribute what they can toward relief. He also calls upon the county commissioners to do what they can. Correspondence bet ween Governor Altgeld and George M. Pullman is also made public, which began by the former urging the company to make some concession of rent or furnish a partial day’s work to the heads of destitute families. In a letter to Pullman the governor says he learned of utter destitution by visits to kitchens and back rooms of many people. “It seems to me," he writes, “that your company cannot afford to have me apjieal to the charity and humanity of the state to save the lives of your old employes. Four-fifths of those people are women and children. No matter what caused their distress, it must be met.” Mr. Pullman’s lengthy response was largely devoted to a denial that conditions are so serious as stated, yet he does not doubt that 1 there are many cases of need caused by the refusal of employes for more than two months to earn of sered wages of more than $.300,000, and that such cases have been made more severe by refusals of employes to apply for old places. He says the cancelling of rents is not a question that would relieve pressing needs, and that it is now the policy of the company to employ only as many men as it is possible to furnish work for on full time. In his last letter the governor acknowledges the refusal of the company to do anything and concludes: “I assumed that even if they Were wrong and had been foolish you would not lie willing to see them perish. I also assumed that as the state had just been to a large expense to protect your prop ertyyou Would, not want to have the public shoulder the burden of relieving distress in your town. As you refuse to do anything to ’relieve the suffering in this case, I am compelled to appeal to the humanity of the people.” CHINESE VICTORY. ■ *■ Japanese Forces Twice Driven Back With Heavy Losses. London, Aug. 22.—The Times has received the following dispatch from Shanghai, dated Aug. 21: General Tio of the Feng-Tien division iff the Chinese forces telegraphs as follows: The Chinese on Friday attacked the Japanese I forces at Ping-Yang, driving them back, i with a heavy loss, a distance of 11 miles to Chung Ho.
