Mrs. Hostettcr has beeu conscious, and she is improved to-day, but her recoverv also is extremely doubtful. Young McFaddcn is in a fair way to recover, unless some bidden injury reveal itself.

There is no truth in the report of a disastrous railroad collision at Sterling. Col. There was a slight accident near there on Monday, at which no one was seriously hurt.

Judge Emery gavo the so-called "Social'' clubs of this city a vigorous overhauling this morning. His decision in tho matter has been looked forward to with much interest. Tho case was a test case to decide the rights of the many private clubs in this city to dispenso liquors freo to their members. The judge in his decision declared that such sale was illegal, and imposed a tine of $100 or ninety days in the work-house upon C. H. Sullivan, secretary and treasurer of the Manhattan Club. A stay of proceedings was granted in order that an appeal may be taken and Sullivan was released on 300 bond. The decision will be a blow to all the so-called social clubs .n the city, and the matter was fully covered by Judge Emery in order that his decision, if sustained, might serve as a precedent. Other prosecutions will doubtless follow in short order. Officers of the Master Urewers Association. Cincinnati, Oct. 16. The Master Brewers convention closed to-day.

STATEHOOD DIILAY-ED. The Montana Squabble Responsible for Holding: Hack the President Proclamation, fpeclal to the InOlanaiKiUs Journal. Washington', Oct. 16. The belief was general in Washington to-day that President Harrison was about to issue his proclamation admitting the two Dakotas and Washington to statehood, and a great many inquiries were made at the State Department and White House concerning the document. It was believed that the President would leave Montana oat of his proclamation, on account of the inability of the Territorial officers to certify the election to the President, as required by law. The anticipation of the proclamation is due to the work now going on by the Legislature of South Dakota, at Pierre. It w.as believed that tho Governor of South Dakota and the other officers elected would not convene tho Legislature, and begin work, setting apart to-morrow for the election of United States Senators, without iirs re ceiving an indication from tho President that the proclamation admitting tho now States to the Union would immediately be issued. At the White House it was stated, this morning, that the proclamation, although it ha 8 been prepared at the State Depart ment, has not been laid Deiore tne rresident: that the delav is due to the conten tion in Montana between tho two political Iiartius a to who were elected to the Legisature. Tho President made no statement as to what he intended to do. but in official circles tho impression prevails to-night that the proclamation will soon issue without Montana, unless the result of the elec tion there is very soon determined, lhe mandamus case, which is to como before the court on the 1st of November, for the purpose of determining the result of tho election in one or more counties in the Territory, seems to be an announcement that the returns will he delayed at the wnito llonse until at least a week in November. There aro cood reasons why the States of North and South Dakota and Washington should be admitted into the Union at onco. The finances of these States are low, and tho Legislatures will immediately be called upon to make appropriations. The law authorizing the admission of the four States into tho Union provides that the Legislatures may meet before the States are admitted. elect United States Senators and certify them to the President. Tho Legislatures mav also, although they aro not so authorizeu, specially go into Tneprenminary wort of debates and legislation, but nothing can be done in the way of legislation finally until the President's proclamation has been issued. Although iGovernor Mellette, of South Dakota, has been inaugurated the Governor of that Stato be has not relin quished his federal powers as Governor of tho two Dakotas. and ho will continue to represent the .government and draw bis salary until the President has issued his proclamation, and he has taken the oath as Govern jr of the Stato of South Dakota. THE MARITIME CONFERENCE. Welcomed by Mr. lllalne Admiral Franklin Elected President At the Whit House. Washington, Oct. 16. The diplomatic re ception-room, of the State Department pre sented a scene of unusual brilliance this morning when Secretary Blaine received the delegates to tho International Maritime Conference. The hour fixed for the cere mony was 11 oclock, aud previous to this time the delegates bad gathered in the ante room and exchanged courtesies and greet ing. Tho members are a noble-looking set of men, and, arrayed in the naval gold lace of every prominent maritime power of the world, made a striking appearance. The exceptions to the glitter of uniforms and decorations were the delegates from China and South America, the former in their distinctive national drees and the latter in regulation dress suits. The delegates. wero accompanied by the ministers of . their respective countries. At live minutes after 11 oclock they were ushered into the diplomatic parlor by As eist.int Secretary of State Adee in the order of the precedence of their ministers. The American delegates, headed by the martial ligure of Admiral irrankun. needed no in termediary to bring them to the notice of the Secretary of Stato. The reception, par taking of a diplomatic nature, was conducted in accordance with the etiquette of Kuch occasions, tho doors being scrupulously guarded by messengers and the pro ceedings held in strictest seclusion. . when Mr. Ulaine entered the parlor, ac companied by Solicitor Walker Blaine, the members of the various delegations wero presented to him bv their respective min isters, and he cordially received each one with a warm grasp of the hand and an ap1 '1'..

Repi-esentatlTea from Asia, from Europe, from North and South America and from the isles of the sea will compose tho conference. On behalf of the United fctates, I welcome you all, gentle men, to the nonorame, the scientific, the philanthropic duties which lio before you. The already great and rapidly increasing intercourse between continent and continent, between nation and na tion, demands that every protection against the cancers or tne sea ana every guard for tne safety, of human life shall bo provided. The spoken languages oi me woria win continue to be manr: but necessity command that the unspoken language of the sea shall be one. That language must be as universal as the needs of man for commerce and intercourse with his fellow-man. The deep Interest which the maritime nations have taken in the questions at igeue is shown bv the eminent character and the wide experience of the delegates to whom they have committed the Important wort. Ajram. gentlemen. I wel come you. and after yor preliminary organiza tion Is completed it will be mv pleasure to pre sent you In ierson to the President of the United eta tea. At the conclusion of Secretary Blaine brief address, on motion of one of the dele gates from Great llntain. Admiral Frank lin was chosen president of the conference, and an adjournment until to-morrow morn ing at 11 oxlock was then taken. This coneluded tne proceedings in tne atato uepartment, not more than twenty minutes hav ing been occupied. With Secretary Ulaine and Sir Julian Fauucefote. British minister, at their head. the delegates then started for tho White House As they emerged from the State Department building they were grouped ou the southeast entrance and photographed l , I U 1 1 i .1.1 At in a uouv. - ueu mo ueiegmea reacueu xne White House they were shown into tho East Room and the house was closed to everybody else. Secretary Blaine informed the President of their arrival, and they at once repaired to the East Koom. Secretary Blaine presented Bear-admiral Frauklin, president of the congress, and he in turn jniroancru mo uiuer American ueiegaies. The foreitm delegates were next Presented. Mr. Blaine first presented the resident minister of the country represented, and he in turn presented the members or his delega tion. When these formal introductions had ended, the President spoke a few informal words of welcome expressing his gratification that the conference had assembled under Mich pleasant auspices. He expressed his deep personal interest in the results which might be anticipated, aud be trusted attained by the conference, and hoped that the passage of the seas might be iuaie as safe as it bad been made rapid. The President, in conclusion, eaid that the ob-

1'ect for which the conference bad as?cmiled was one which would attract univer

sal interest throughout tho world, and its attainment would be warmly welcomed by all nations. CONOKES9MAN CANNON. He Is Not "Hunting the Speakership with a Brass Hand, but Is Doing Effective Work. Sjctal to the Tml!auaiolls Journal. Washington, Oct, lCKepresentative Joseph G. Cannon, of Danville, 111., is here looking'very quietly after the interest of his speakership canvass. "Uncle Jo," as ho is familiarly referred to in Washington, is not going gunning with a brass band. He is doing his work very judiciously and etlectively, and if it were not for the candidatures f McKinley, of Ohio, and Burrows, of Michigan, he would, from the very start, be a forrnmable it not a snccessiui asDirant. He will in any event prove that he has tangible popularity. "There Is no politics lor me lo discuss," said Mr. Cannon, when asked about tho approaching session of Congress and .his campaign. "It is six weeks to Congress yet. 1 have some opinions on tne rules, tne civil service, interstate commerce, the tariff and other matters, bat uothingcan be done till Cougress meets. Wait awhile.

The Trouble Between Them Due to Unrea sonable Demands of tho Colored Orator. Cpeclal to tlio Indianapolis Journal. . Washington, Oct. 16. Representative Sowden, of Norfolk, Va., who has charge of the Virginia Republican campaign in the eastern part of the State, eays the opposi tion to General Mahono by John M. Langs ton, the colored orator, who has refused to speak in the Old Dominion, and has gone to speak in Ohio, is due to a pique. Lungston, he says, demanded of Mahone and other Virginia Republicans that they guarantee him his seat in Congress. Langs ton ran from JManone's district, which, is heavily black and therefore Republican, but be was counted out. General Mahone said he would help Langston all ho could, and would see. If he could iniiuence it, that a vigorous investigation was made by Concress, but he could not guarantee a seat to any man in' Congress it was impossible. Tho people in Virginia understand Langston's unreasonable demand, and his ' flareup" will do no one but himself good or harm. SECRET SERVICE OPERATIONS. Counterfeiters Arretted and Convicted Ital ians Lead Nature of the Bogus Money. Washington, Oct. 16. Mr. John S. Bell, chief of the Secret-service division of the Treasury, has made a, report to the Secre tary giving a summary of the operations of that service during tho fiscal year ended June SO last. The total number of arrests made by agents of the division, assisted in some cases by local oilicers, was the great majority of which were Sot manu facturing, dealing in, or passing counterfeit American nionos aud raising Treasury notes. - The fines imposed by courts in these cases aggregated $14,543, and the sentences imposed to 373 years, six months and twenty-ono days. Italians are fo'remost among foreigners as counterfeiters in this country. The representative value of counterfeit and raised notes and other imi tations of money captured during tho year port of the capture .of Win. G. Hard and confederates at Chicago in December last. A statement is made of tho work rendered by the service for other branches of tho government, and the vast amount of mon ey saved thereby with small outlay. The report contains an interesting statement in regard to counterfeiting operations since the early part of the civil war, from which it appears that during that period there have been .count erfeited thirty-one United States notes," four united States bonds, two coupons, four compound interest notes. eleven silver certificates and 110 national bank notes, making 1C2 in all. MINOR MATTERS. Norway Refuses to Change Its American Sys tem of Protection to llenefit Englishmen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Oct. 16. The reports re ceived at the State Department show that the ellorts of tho free-traders in Norway to move in tho direction of the English sys tem of freo trade and support of the gov ernment by income taxes was a complete failure at the last session of the national legislative body, which has just adjourned. Norway Las a tariff protection system simi lar to that of the United States, and her government is maintained by customs dues. She protects domestic products the same as the United Statos, and there is talk of a revision of the tariif the same as in this country, but the movements of the free-traders, recently, show that the people are heartily in sympathy with the present tariff system, and will refuse, by a largo majority, to take even a slight step toward free trade. England now stands alone in her free-trade system, and although she has niado diligent and powerful ellorts to spread her theories, sho has failed in everv instance. It was presumed that she could wieidan mmience over tne nttio country of the midnight sun, but she has even failed in that work. Our Trade with Mexico. Washington, Oct. 10. A statement just prepared by the Mexican foreign office. showing the value of the commerce of that country with the United States for tho past year, has been sent to the State Department by Minister Ryan. The imports were of the total value of $10,204,673, of which S$,731.S35 went in free of duty. Of dutiable goods, tho principal receipts wero cottons, provisions, drugs and chemicals, iron and steel. The exports to the United States aggregated .3l,Ooy,(i.G, as follows: Merchandise. S13.141.510: precious metals. Sl7.915.116. Tho apparent Dalance of trade iniavoroi Mexico is tii.v.u-w, but the difference in currency reduced this balance to SVJ09,(JG7. Oyster Trust Forcing Up Price. Special to the lii(llanai)lls Journal. Washington, Oct. 10. A very noticeable effect is already seen in the Washington market in the price of oysters, by the trust formed this week between the oyster dealers and the Chesapeake Day dredgers. The price has gone up 20 per cent Solid shucked oysters have been retailing here for fcO cents a gallon; they sold for Si to-day. Washington is one of the greatest oyster-consuming cities m the world. 1 ho local uealers say that the sodply is diminishing more rapidly than tho . . t a a i . ciemana is increasing, ana uiai, unless there aro new overtures m the oyster-raising regions, bivalves are to be exceedingly scarce ior some ume.

Hall, of the local comtnitmitteo on arrangements. The house was most handsomely decorated with flowers and emblems of tho brotherhood, the most beautiful of which was an immense design of roses, pinks and smilax; bordered by forget-ni. nots, representing an engine and tender, which was placed in front of the speaker's desk. Tho entrance of Chief Arthur while the secretary was addressing the large audience was greeted with prolonged ap plause. The exercises were opened by a prayer by George R. Dority, grand chaplain, of Charleston, Mass. "SaudyMcGuire, of Minneapolis, delivered an original poem, which was received with applause lasting several minutes.

Meek, general manager of the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth, of Denver; Hon. John Scott, Rev. Myron Reed and H. B. Chamberlain, president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce. At the conclusion of these addresses Chief Arthur was introduced amid great enthnsiasm.. After welcoming tho delo--v 3 - . a V m 1 a ! a. 1 ga s ana assuring mem 01 ms uenex in me satisfactory results of the present convention, and with what great pleasure ho had watched the growth of the order since its organization, and the results it had at tained, Chief Arthur said: "The presenttime represents the turning point in the history of tho order, for it has become apparent that a feeling essentially radical has crept in and taken possession of a few of our members. This is dangerous, and must be suppressed; for, owing to this, statements, seemingly contradictory, have crept out and beenme public, which could never have happened had there been a oneness of thought and an honesty of purpose. If a man's ability extends beyond that required by the brotherhood, then it becomes his duty to doff the begrimed babilaments of the mechanic and assume tho position for which he is particularly gifted. To nurse one's dissatisfaction and scatter its seeds broadcast to take root in the imagination of others is sinful and blighting to character." lie admonished the members to keep their personality intact, and not to allow false gods to induce them to subscribe to laws which, as soon as passed, will make them cognizant of the necessity for their repeal, lie reiterated with emphasis his former statement that the organization is law-abiding, and said: "lo-day I clearly dehne our position toward railway corporations when I say that only as a last resort do we sanction a strike." In speaking of the growth of the order. ho said the membership was 20.000. and that during the year just ended it had paid out to tho widows and orphans of disabled members $300,000, making a total since its organization of 2,008,169. He thought it impossible to overestimate the blessings and benefits derived from the order, aud he advised every man within range of his voice 10 cnaeavor, ai wuaiever saennce, 10 save a little of his earnings every year, if no more than $25. "The possession of prop erty brings respect, and always adds to tho comfort and power of workingmen, besides gaining the esteem of all good citizens.'7 After thanking the citizens of Denver, the railway companies and others for their kindness, and expressing appreciation of the work of the oilicers aud members of the ladies' auxiliary societies. Chief Arthur concluded as follows: "In accordance with nstmctions "received at the last convenxion. 1 nave prepareu a special message containing such recommendations as. in my judgment, tend to promote tbo welfare of the brotherhood, which will be submitted at the proper time. Ve have come this time to hold our twenty-sixth annual convention; to review the past of the order, j : l 1a. . at.- a. 1 1 xi.; 1 ii.. auu conquer 11s 1 mure, rroiuing uy 1110 mistakes and failures of the past, and aided by the integrity and loyalty of its members, it shall go on in its good work, ameliorating , our condition and protecting all who come within its fold, in all our discussions of the dLUe rences which may arise among us. I trust we shall always hold to our right to 1 X- 1 A A 1 L'l. privaio juugnieui; tuai wniio we give frank expression to our own thoughts, we shall carefully guard against a spirit of dogmatism, which would call npon others to square their thoughts and opinions with our own." No reference was made in the address to either the question of federation or the late Burlington strike, to the apparent disappointment of a number of the delegates. Brotherhood of Hallway Rrakeincn. St. Paul, Oct. 16. The important feat ures of this morning's session of the Brotherhood of Railway Brakemen were the officers' reports, which were read in detail. They were all in the nature of reviews. containing, some suggestions. The most important recommendations, however, were made by Vice-grand Master Slattery, of Butte. First of all, he was in favor of changing the name of the order to "The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen." The reason for this is found in tho fact that at least one third of the membership is made up of conductors, baggagemen and others, so that the present title is no longer distinctive or popular. It is more than likely that this recommendation will be carried but, as the motion is popular. Mr. Slattery also advocated State unions, to be held annually under the supervision of the grand master, and closed as follows: "The third recommendation is in regard to the relief schemes that are just now being pushed forward b several of the leading 1 "1 AV Al f t A.

Burlington & Quincy, and I would say to all members of our brotherhood that it is to your interests to investigate all schemes of this kind thoroughly and carefully, and if this is done, I am very sure that you will arrive at the same conclusion regarding them as I have, and that is to let them alone, as they are only a snare to draw you ou and mako yon a slave to your employer." Grand Secretary and Treasurer O'Shea's report gave valuable statistics concerning the growth and state of the order.
