end pledge our hearty co-operation. Tho petition for a national Sunday-rest law is reindored; action of President Harrison in forbidding military reviews and parade on Sunday, and cllortM of l'osttiiaster-gn-tral Wananiaker for rednctiou of Sunday postal work are commended. The establishment of girls . indnstrial colleges and institutes in every .State, to bo supported by State appropriations, is urged. Congress should enact a law absolutely prohibiting the manufacture, 6ale or gi viug away of intoxicating or alcoholic beverages in the temtory over which it has jurisdiction, and the interstate law should be amended to prohibit tho bringing of liquors jnto prohibition States. An educational test for citizenship is favored, and prcviousdeclarations in favor of woman's suffrage aro reatiinucd. .The nnion rejoices in the victory of its principles at the ballot-box in tho new States of North and South Dakota, and is especially flad that the dominant party in South lakota has explicitly declared for national prohibition. The majority resolution on the non-partisan question and tho resolution in reference to Vice-president Morton's apartmeuthouse in Washington, given in last night's dispatches. rere incorporated iu the above report. Tho Independent Order of Good Templars was reeogn ized as fel low-workers, the work of tho Young People's Christian Endeavor Society indorsed, and tho conxention adj jurned. At a meeting of tho executive board of the V. C. T. U. to-day, at which Miss Willard presided, the bolt of the Iowa delegation was discussed. Mrs. L. I). Carhart, of Marion. Iowa, who has been opposed to Mrs. Foster, was installed as provisional member in the place of the bolter, and will Jbe in charge, until the new election is held. The board adopted a plan of reorganization for Iowa. An afternoon paper Bays the vote on Miss Willard's re-election does not express the feelings of all on the subject of partisanship and , non-partisanship, aud it is not unlikely that Mrs. Foster will,. in time, get quite a following from ladies who bad previously followed Miss Willard's fortunes aud ideas. The split of the Iowa delegation, and tho call for a meetiug of the bolters and their sympathizers for the purpose of creating a new organization, was tho sole subject of discussion among the. delegates of . the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union at the Palmer House this morning. It was plain from the expressions that tho delegates to the convention wero sorry enough that the trouble had reached the conclusion it did. There is some difference of opinion among the delegates as to the best manner of pursuing tho work. Mrs. Carhart. who was elected to till Mrs. Foster's place on the board, has been for live years a candidato for the presidency of tho Jowa W. C. T. U. against Mrs. Foster, each time the vote standing about SO to 40 in her favor to ISO or 1& in favor of Mrs. Foster. This, then, shown the relative strength of tho two factions in Iowa.

A. Visit to Mis Willard's Mother. CHICAGO. Nov. 13. To-day the Milwaukee & St. Paul extended an invitation to members of the W. tJ. T. IL, and some of their friends, to visit Evacston, the home of the mother of Miss Willard, who isnow eighty-live years old. Miss Willard was unable to attend, owing to pressing business connected with closing the W. C. T. U. congress. The delegation, however, and their friends were on hand in full force, and seven hundred of them shook hands with the old lady. On arriving at Chicago, on the return trip the party, before they left the depot, sang "God lie with You," and a vote of thanks was tendered to the manager of the road, and the engineer aud firemen, both of whom wore white ribbons and bad the engine decorated with the emblerns of the V. C. T. U. It was a memorable occasion, and the ladies wero highly gratified with their excursion to the home of the aged mother of their leader. Wants 915,000 for Slander. CHICAGO, Nov. 13. Dr. Mary WeeksBurnett, to-day sued Mrs. II. 31. Barker, one of tho leaders of the W. C. T. U.t for $25,000, for slander. Last week the Doctor brought suit against Miss Willard and two others of the W. C. T. U. for 50,0X0, claiming a circiUr which they had sent out concerning tho management of the National Temperanco Hospital was false, malicious and libelous, and had injured her professional reputation. To-day's suit is practically based on the same charge. Mrs. Barker espoused Miss Willard's cans against Mrs. Burnett, aud said in the convention that she believed tho circular was all right. The suit is the result of her remarks. 31. E. MISSIONARY C03I3IITT. An Important Conference at "Which Twelve Bishops of the Church .Ire Trcsent. Kansas City, Nov. 13.

Goodsell, of Texas. The first business was tho consideration of the report of the committee on "defects of and improvements of tho missionary inetbeda now in use." The consideration of the Tcport occupied all the morning and afternoon session, aud adjournment was taken until to-morrow morning.

In a loft connected with an East-side resort, at an early hour this morning, was fonght a lively mill of eleven rounds, with skin-tight gloves, between Charlie Judge, of this city, and Joo Fowler, the well-known ex-feather-weight champion of England. Steve Brodio was tho referee. In the seventh round Fowler succeeded in landing a terrific under-cut on Judge, who at ou o claimed that his jaw bad been broken. His friends tried tokeep him going by yelling, and the din became o tremendous that tho referee and others became alarmed lest the police should break in. The tight had then lasted fortyfive minutes, and Brodie decided it a draw to avoid a probable raid. This decision was received with howls of rage on the p&rt of Judgo's friends, two of whom at once leaped into the ring with drawn revolvers, and questioned the decision of the referee. They were collared by Steve's lieutenant, who took away their weapons and prevented bloodshed. Judge was badly pnnished. and his face was severely ponnded. In the opinion of many, it was lucky for hiin that the tight was called a Iraw. Want the Colored Men Discharged. Richmonp. Va..Nov. 13.

rOWDER FOR WAR PURPOSES

Wliat the Chief of Ordnance Savs About the Smokeless Kind Used in Europe. Experiments with Compressed Powder and Small-Bore Bilks Close of the International Excursion Railway-Mail Service. SMOKELESS POWDER. An American Invention Which European Governments Adopted Small-Hore Hides. "Washington. Nov. 13. Tho subject of smokeless powder for military uses occupies considerable space in tho annnal report of Brigadier-general Benet, Chief of Ordnance, to the Secretary of War, which was mad public tq-day. He says: "In tho absence of a suitable small-arms powder there has been no substantial progress in the matter of a small calibre rifle beyond what has been heretofore reported, except in the negative gain resulting in tho apparent abandonment, or tendency that way, abroad of all powders but the so-called smokeless. This change, involving the return to a grained powder, is, if permanent, an appreciable gain for all in the economy and efficiency of the product in the manufacture of small-arm cartridges, and may have been brought about as much from the dthculty of obtaining uniform and satisfactory results in the way .of velocities and pressures with the compressed powders as from the more valuable properties of the smokeless. No American has yet submitted for trial a smokeless powder, and experiment with compressed powders has shown tho same eccentricity as developed abroad, tending to destroy confidence in the final production of a serviceable compressed-powder cartridge. All effort, official or otherwise, to date, to obtain a smokeless powder has been abortive, and American powder-makers aud chemists havo not yet awakened to tho lucrative opportunity presented to them. There is reason to believe, from an application made to an officer of the Ordnance Department more than ten years ago, that smokeless powder originated, like many other inventions, in America, only to be brought to the attention of the world in foreign countries, although in this instance tho person concerned met with encouragement of which he did not avail himself. "In view of tho present status of the powder question it is not deemed expedient to introduce a small calibre rifle for compressed powder cartridges. Such a rifle, however excellent in itself, would be inferior to foreign arms using -smokeless powders, and consequently unsatisfactory to the army and to tho country at large. It is believed, however, that all the elements entering into the problem, except the powder, are ready for use tho moment this powder is obtained. A thirty-calibre bayonet Springfield rifle has been made, and a rodbayonet thirty-calibre magazine arm is now in progress of construction in anticipation of the final acquisition of the muchneeded powder, so that no time may bo lost in presenting for trial both singleloading and magazine small-calibro rifles." CLOSE OF A LONG TOUK. Arrival at Waslilnjton of the International American Excursion Party. Washington, Nov. 13. Just forty-two daj'8 after tho morning of Oct. 3, when tho special train bearing the international American excursion party pulled out of tho Pennsylvania railroad station in Washington, the samo train, headed by tho locomotive which had drawn it nearly G.000 miles, rolled into tho capital city and drew np at tho station, having successfully completed the most interesting and, from a railroad stand-point, the most extensive trip ever undertaken by one train. How tho excursion' has resulted in furthering tho important objects which the American conference was called to attain has been eloquently told by the delegates themselves, through the medium of tho Associated Press. But it might bo proper to add, npon the authority of one of tho United States delegates who has accompanied tho party over several of its thousands of miles traversed, that the etVect upon our own pe jple has been most benelicial, and that as a consequence of their association and exchange of 'Ideas with tho delegates, many of the merchants and business men in tho different towns and cities where tho tourists have been entertained and instructed, have had their attention seriously directed to tho vast commercial possibilities of tho nations lying south of the United States, while the people generally are awakened to the fact that we should feel the' deepest interest in tho welfare and prosperity of the sister republics. - It was planned that instead of taking the more direct southern routo from Philadelphia to Washington the train should run down by way of Harrisburg, so that the delegates might see the beautiful Susquehannah valley and the rich farming lands of that part of Pennsylvania. This plan was followed, but unfortunately the countrv was not seen at its best, as the lowering skies and the heavy, driving rains confined tho landscape within narrow bounds. RAILWAY 3LtL SEKVICE.

Throughout all of. the conferences which have taken place between the masters aud the journeymen the masters have steadfastly refused to concede tho demands of their employes, or even to meet theui in a satisfactory compromise, but to-day one of the largest baking firms in Loudon unconditionally surrendered, and it is difficult to conceive reasonable grounds for the other nstcrs to decline to follow this example. At the beginning of the troublo the masJj18 vere encouraged by the arrival of blackleg" bakers from Germany in large numbers, but many of these have been taken care of bv the English union bakers, and the arrivals from Berlin and other German towns have been almost entirely stopped by the action of John Hnrns, who telegraphed to his agents and sympathizers abroad to check the emigration of bakers to London by all possible means.

In View of This Decision the FrosecRtirm vni ----- -ivu Mlli rut Only One More Witness on the Stand Adjournment Until Saturday. Chicago, Nov. 13. At the opening of the Cronin trial this morning Judge McConnell announced his decision on tho question of going into the past history of the Cian-na-Gacl. The last witness on the 6tand yesterday was expressman Brown. lie ia also an ex-member of tho Clan-na-Gael. He was asked whether or not he preferred charges against Dr. Uronin in 18iv, the State's attorney explaining thai he proposed to showby the witness that this was a fact; that Daniel Coughlin was a member of the trial committee, and that Dr. Cronin was ex pelled from the organization. The logical consequence of the admission of this testiinony was a comnieto investigation of the Clan-na-Gael, at least 6o far as it could be made to show causes for animosity against Dr. Cronin on the part of any onoof the prisoners at the bar. This offer led to tho most earnest aud protracted argument between counsel for the State and counsel for the defense that has yet taken place during the trial. Nearly every lawyer engaged in the case on cither side had something to say during its progress, and there was much nlain speaking. Tho talk occupied the time till adjournment, and Judge McConnell announced that ho would hold the matter under advisement, and would render hU decision this morning. In accordance with that arrangement when the court was called to order this morning Judge McConnell announced his opinion to be that the evidence sought to be elicited from officer Brown on the points named was incompetent, and ruled it out. Judge McConnell's ruling was as follows: "The offer of tho State's attorney is to prove by the witness on tho stand that ho preferred certain charges, four years ago, in a Clan-na-Gael camp, against Dr. Croniu; that a committee was appointed to try tho Doctor upon the charges; that onono of the committees wes the defendant, Daniel Coughlin, and that tho tinding of the committee was treason, aud the penalty fixed a t expulsion. Tho purpose of this evidence is stated to be to show malice on the part of the .defendant, Couirhlin, against Dr. Cronin. 1 have given the matter the most careful consideration, and I have come to the conclusion that the evidence ought not to bo admitted, and that it would be error to allow it to go to the jury. The fact that a man four years ago served upon a committee which found an unjust verdict ftd recommended or indicted a degrading punishment against a fellow-memher does not necessarily show malice. The erideuco would need to go further than is suggested in tho oiler of tho State. To determine tho malice of tho actors in that proceeding, wo should be obliged to go into all its details. In short, to get at merely cumulative evidence tending to show in a very doubtful way malice at another period against Dr. Cronin, we should open up a separate and distinct inquiry, and transier into this caso volumes of irrelevant and perhaps incompetent testimony. My consideration, for the talented gentleman representing the Stato led mo to defer this decision until after full argument, but consideration has persuaded mo that my tirat opinion of the evidence was correct. Therefore I fchall not permit that inquiry for the purpose for which it is purposed." This decision, of conrse, rendered any further attempt to examine officer Brown futile, and officer McKinnou, of Winnipeg, who was on the stand yesterday, was recalled. He testified that Burke fc)ld him ho had assumed the name of J. YV. Cooper, because two men were watching hira. Mr. Forrest (interrupting) Tne hat was offered in evidence yesterday, with certain marks on it. My client tells me that ho never put those marks on, and I havo no objection to the State using any means to erase that ink, to lind out what was under it." The Conrt I don't think you ought to say anything about that at present, Mr. Forrest I object to its going in evidence. . The Court It has not gone in evidence; it has merely been identified. The cross-examination of this witness, which was postponed yesterday at the request of tho defense, w as then completed. After some unimportant witnesses wero examined, the boards cut from the lloor of the Carlson cottago were offered and admitted in evidence in epito of the objections of the defense. Mr. Fran ken field, the signal service oflicer here, was called to the stand, and producing his official record, testified that from midnight of May 3 to midnight of May 4 the sky was cloudless. When the examination of tins witness was finished the State's attorney asked for an adjournment until 'J P. M., in ordeT t.iat the prosecution might consult as to whether or not thev will introduce a certain line of evidence, in view of the court'6 decision this morning- . , At the opening of the trial this afternoon State's Attorney Longenecker aid that, in view of the court's ruling in tho matter of evidence as to past doings of the Clan-na-Gael. the State would only put onone more witness on the stand a man named Clancy, from New York. who. he said, was Dot now in the citv.
