Lively Session of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union at Pittsburg. Attempt to E!ect Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Camphell to Offices They Did Not Want Causes III Feeling Among the Sisters. Pittsburg, Nov. 20. The second day's session of the National Non-partisan W. C. T. U. was opened with religious exercises conducted by Mrs. Martha A. Dietz, president of the Illinois association. Letters and telegrams from various parts of the country were then read approving the work and nrging the members to prosecute it with vigor until success finally crowns their efforts. Mesdames Foster, Weeks, Hatch, Beale and Miss Parker were appointed a committee on appeals, after which Mrs. Foster, as chairman of the committee ou revision of the constitution, reported a number of important changes. The report occasioned a heated discussion, but was finally adopted. The annual election which followed was a surprise, as a spirited contest for president was expected. The opposition to Mrs. Phinney, of Cleveland, for re-election as president did not materialize, and she was chosen again with but one dissenting vote, which was cast for Mrs. Foster. The other officers elected were: Vice-president, Miss Hazel G. Walker, of Minnesota general secretary. Miss F. Jennie Duty, of Cleveland; recording secretary, Mrs. Florence Miller, of Iowa; financial secretary and treasurer, Mrs. C. C. Aliord, of New ork. The afternoon session had scarcely been brought to order after devotional exercises when Mrs. 11. C. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, roso to a point of older. She appealed from the decision of the chair, and claimed that as the convention bad created the constitution committee it had a right to discuss its report. A heated discussion followed, and in the rising vote called for twelve members voted to sustain the chair and seventeen against. Mrs. M. J. AldricL, of Iowa, then moved that consideration be deferred until after the conclusion of. the election, and as this proceeding occupied all available time, the consideration will likely come up to-morrow. After the installation of officers the longing hearts of Iowa and Pennsylvania began to plan for Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Campbell to be placed in some national office which would give these leaders a place upon the executive committee. The failure of the national secretary of young women's work to present a report had caused considerable indignation, and the fact that but one young woman had been credited as a delegate added fnel to the Hume. Accordingly, when the election for this office was called, Mrs. Campbell was elected to the position by an overwhelming vote. Mrs. Campbell promptly declined,, and a compromise was effected, which resulted in a day for consideration being allotted to Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster was slated for another office, and Mrs. Lydia J. Tiltou, of Washington, D. C, legislative secretary, quietly abdicated in favor of Mrs. Foster, and, when tho vote was called, Mrs. Foster was announced asthesucessorof Mrs. Tiltou. This action brought Mrs. Foster promptly forward, and a declination was presented. When pressed for reasons Mrs. Foster, in an impressive address, allowed the convention to infer that her relation with politics and insinuations upon her actions were the primary reasons of withdrawal. The declination, however, was not accepted, and Jdrs. Foster was also given a day for consideration. An outcome of the elections was one of the fiercest of indignation meetings, in which the convention as a whole joined, and which was held to the exclusion of all else after the appearance of the afternoon fapers. The indignation grew from the lead-line statement to the effect that Mrs. J. Ellen Foster had voted for herself during the presidential balloting. Denunciatory resolutions were liually toned down until the one finally passed denied the statement. Mrs. Mary J. Aldrich, of Iowa, submitted the reports of the evangelistio department. These were comprehensive and exhaustive, covering all departments, prison and jail work, gospel mission work, house-to-house visitation, out-door meetings and work in mills and other places. A tribute was paid to the value of Mrs. Katharine Reilly, of Westchester, in the line of prison and jail work. The report of Mrs. H. S. Ellis, superintendent of temperance in Sundayschools, was also presented by Mrs. Aldrich, and was full of valuable information. The discns9ionon name and badge came np late in the afternoon, and action was deferred till next year. The necessity of establishing a national paper was urged. State organs are represented at the convention by their respective editors the White Ribbon, of Pennsylvania, by Mrs. Joseph D. Weeks; the Iowa Messenger, by Mrs. Florence Miller; the Bulletin, of Ohio, by Mrs. M. H. Ingham. Tho evening exercises included a comprehensive and instructive report of work in the army, navy and marine corps by Miss Lavina A. Chase, superintendent of this department, and also a brilliant and forceful address by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster. Miss Wlllard's Request. Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 20. Miss WTillard today sent the following telegram to the convention in session at the North-avenue M. E. Church, Allegheny City: Mrs. E. J. t'hlnney: Believing that it is legally and morally wrong for any body to take the name of the National W. C. T. U. with the prefix Non-partlaau." we ask you as Christian sisters to discontinue the use of this name. OBITUARY. Hear Admiral Oliver S.'Gllsson, Originally from Indiana. Philadelphia, Nov. 20.

CHANGES IN BIG COMPANIES

Standard Oil Party Said to Have Gained Control of the Northern Pacific. One Hundred Thousand Shares Secured by the Rockefellers Gossip About Villard . Gould and the Pacific Mail. New York, Nov. 20. A statement that the Rockefeller interests and their associates, generally known as the Standard Oil party, had increased their holdings of Northern Pacific preferred by 100,000 shares has caused much discussion in regard to Villard's interests in the property. The capital stock of the Northern Pacific Company amounts to $S(5,143.193-or 861,431 shares. Of this the North American Company held 210,151 shares of common stock, and 127, 430. shares of the preferred stock. These holdings, with the large block of stock held by C. B. Wright, of Philadelphia, controlled the property, and as Villard generally voted on the North American, as it was in other years, the Oregon Transcontinental proxies and a large amount of proxies from German holders, he was the most powerful factor at the annual elections. It has been stated, however, that Villard was aided in obtaining control of the Oregon Transcontinental Company by the Standard Oil party and that Colgate Hoyt represented the Rockefeller interests in both the Northern Pacific and North American companies. At. the elections of the Northern Pacific for two years preceding the one just held, Villard was prominent in all the arrangements. He gave early information in regard to the ticket to be voted by those in control, and showed his interest in many other ways. He was absent in Europe on Oct. 10, when the last meeting was held, and no interest was shown in the affairs of the company by his representative here. D. C, Wright was then the ruling spirit, and was apparently in control. Villard was re-elected & director, and so were all the members of tho board who had been working in harmony with him. What is more important is that the board of directors then elected serve for three years, the term having beeu extended to that period at a mooting hAldon June 19. Tbisleavesthe present board in control until Oct. 10, 1S98. Nono of the Rockefellers could be Been to-day in regard to the reported purchase of over 100.000 shares of Northern Pacific preferred. President Oakes said: T confidently believe that the Rockfellers and their associates have lately added largely to their holdings of stock and bonds of the Northern Pacific." He stated positively that there was no truth in the report that Villard would retire or be forced out of the company. ' President Adams, of the Union Pacific, and President Hughitt, of the Northwestern, have been in this city since Tuesday, and it is said that some important developments will soon occur. 1 he Gould people state that the board of directors of the Union Pacific will be reorganized within ten days, and a statement is circulated that President Adams has signified his willingness to hand in his resignation if it is asked for. It is also said that if he finds that the large stockholders are opposed to him he will resign. THE PACIFIC MAIL DEAL. The Post says: To estimate the value of Pacific Mail as a factor in the maintenance of transcontinental rates, it must be remembered that the Pacific Mail has facilities for carrying a vast amount of heavy freights, such as nails, iron, etc., which the railroads could not carry because they could not afford to carry it except at rates of freights which would bo absolutely prohibitive. It is this class of freight which is the main support of the Pacific Mail. But whilecarryingthisthe ships could also carry a higher class of freights at the same timo without any additional expense to themselves. If they did so this would lower the rates on all classes of transcontinental .freight, and it is in order to mduco the Pacific Mail Company not to take any such freights that all the transcontinental -roads have jointly agreed to guarantee to the Pacific Mail an aggregate of 1,200 tons of freight per month if the Pacific Mail Company will maintain the same rates as the railroads do on all railroad freights. This amounts to about $75,000 per month, and sometimes when the Pacifio Mail Company does not .get the full 1,200 tons of freight the ditlerence is paid to it by the railroads in money. "Tho Pacifio Mail would only be a disturbing factor if it was independent. There is no reason to doubt that if the surrender of tho Pacific Mail had not been made to Mr. Gould there would have been smashing, not only of that stock, but of all the other stocks, which were largely held by the parties who tried to support Pacific Mail. To some extent personal feelings on the part of Mr. Gould may have been a factor in the contest for Pacifio Mail, but it must also be remembered that the Vanderbilt interests, as represented by Mr. Morgan, and other interests as represented by Mr. Rockefeller have joined with him in trying to bring about this whole readjustment of transcontinental interests. This readjustment will also probably require the retirement of Mr. Adams from the presidency of the Union Pacific, becanse his policy for several years has made him unpopular with the other roads west of Chicago, and in order to maintain harmony it will .probably be necessary to have a president for the union Pacific who will be better liked by the officers of other Western roads. Y7ith these questions in regard to Pacific Mail and Union Pacific settled, it may be expected that the stock market will be relieved from 'bear7 attacks, at least for the time being." At a meeting of the Clearing-house Association, this afternoon, it was unanimously agreed to abolish the one-quarter-per-cent. commission on the loan certificates. The general opinion of all bankers was that the situatiou in general was much improved. May Be Reconstructed. London, Nov. 20. It is reported that the house of Baring Bros. & Co. is abont to be reconstructed as a joint stock company. Mr. T. Baring has offered to return, bringing 1,000,000. The Ilamberos will probably amalgamate with the Barings, and fresh capital will be contributed by one of the Guinnessfamily. The rumor that the Rothschilds had pledged 4,000,000 asajguarantee for the payment of the Argentine dividends is unfounded. TRIAL OF THE CONCORD. She Proves to Be a Fast Cruiser but Lacking In Horse-Power Several Accidents. New Y'ork, Nov. 2a The trial of the new cruiser Concord ended at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The vessel made as high as 17.7 knots an hour, spurting at one time, it is estimated, to eighteen knots, and maintained an average for the trial of seventeen knots per hour. This she did against a strong tidal current. The Concord has proved herself to be the fastest gun-boat yet built for the navy. She has outstripped the Yorktown, which has until now held tho best gun-boat record in the service. But despite her splendid speed showing, the Concord has failed to develop the requisite 3,400 horse-power. This fact is duo directly to trouble, which arose in the second hour of the test, with the after-feed pump. To increaso the difficulty tho afterboiler began to leak, and this continued, and before the trial ended there wero from two to three inches of water on the lloor of tho fire-room. On the first discovery of a leak the after-blower was stopped, though the firemen continued to feed the furnaces of the detective boiler. Then a small steamEipe burst in the early part of the third our, filling the after-engine-room with steam. The rupture occurred in a nipple of a side pipe leading to the after-air pump. The pipe formed part of the oiling apparatus. Iu a short time the break was repaired, though it must be remembered that the loss of even a little steam could ill be all'orded. Notwithstanding the troublo yesterday it is estimated that the Concord made between 3,000 and 3,200 horse-power, though

on this point no definite figures can be had until the indicator cards are worked up. It will be remembered that the Yorktown, a sister of the Concord, was compelled to make but 3,000 horse-power. She actually made 3,413, or. roughly, 3.400. In consequence the maximum-performance of the Yorktown wos made the basis for the minimum performance of the Concord. Furthermore, for every horse-power in excess of the stipulated number a bonus of SlU) was ottered, with an attending forfeiture of $100 for every horse-power below 8,400. It is not likely that yesterday's trial will be accepted at the official one. This will depend partly on the Secretary of the Navy and partly on the the contractor. Should it not be deemed the official trial the contractors will be forced to pay the expense of the rnn. tho government agreeing to pay only the expense of a successful trial. The opinion is expressed that Mr. Palmer will have the Concord ready in the course of a few days and send her over the sound, doing a mean of 17.5 knots per hour.

OUR DUTY AS CITIZEN'S. Ex-President Cleveland, Discusses the Subject in Response to the Toast "Oar Country." New Y'ork, Nov. 20. The jewelers' annual banquet was spread at Delmonico's tonight, and ex-President Cleveland was one of the guests. He responded to "Oar Conn- ; try," and in part he said: I know of no better way to deal with the sentiment than to divide It, and consider one branch or part of my text, as is sometimes done with a long text In tiie pulpit. I therefore propose to say goraethtng about the word our" as related to tho sentiment "our country. This is our" country because the people have established It, because they rule it, because they have de velopf d It, because they have fought for It, and because they love it. And .still each generation of Americans holds it only in trust for those who shall come after them; and they are charged for the obligation to transmit it as strong and sound as It came to their hands. It Is not ours to destroy, It is not ours to sell, and it is not ours to neglect and injure. It is ours as our families are ours, and as onr churches and schools are ours to protect and defend, to totter and Improve. As its strength and its fitness to reach its promised destiny depends upon lta unity, one of our highest duties toward it is to cultivato and encourage kindliness among our people to the end that all may heartily co-operate iu performing the terms of our trust. As it; exists for us all, 60 all fchould bo accorded an equal share In its benetlts. It is so constructed that its work Is badly done and Its operations perverted when special and exclusive advantages are awarded to any particular olafs of our people. If we permit grasping selfishness to influence us in the care of our trust we are untrue to our obligations and our covenants as Americans. Our country is "ours" for the purpose of securing through It means of Justice, happiness and prosperity to all not for the purpose of permitting the selfish and deslgniug to be enriched at the expense of their confiding fellow-countrymen. It is our duty then to defend and protect our country while it remains in our hands from that selfishness which. If permitted, will surely undermine it, as clearly as it is our duty to defend it against armed enemies. Nor are we discharged from our obligations as trustees of our country If we merely preervo It In the samo condition as when we received it. The march of progress and civilization throughout tho world imposes on us the duty of improving the subject of our trust so that it may bo transmitted to others In such an advanced condition of prosperity and growth as shall bear witness to our faithfulness and our devotion to its interests. He who hid his talent in a napkin, and added nothing to it, was condemned as unfaithful when called upon to give an account of his stewardship. Let us rejoice, then. In the greatness of our country," but let us remember that it will be our blame if it is not made , irreater; let us boast of the country which is "ours," but let our boasting be tempered with the reflection that its possession is charged with a sacred trust; let us constantly bear in mind that while it is ours to use patriotically and transmit to coming fenerations, our relation to it is made more .serious by the fact that, in its broadest and most solemn meaning, our country is something which, as an example and Interpreter of freedom, belongs to the world, and which, in its blessed mission, be-v longs to humanity. ;,HE .GREAT HARVESTER POOL It Will Employ 10,000 Agents and Manufacture Yearly 100,000 Machines of One Design. Chicago, Nov. 20. Tho American Harvester Company, which was incorporated at Springfield yesterday with a capital of $33,000,000. will employ 50,000 men and 10,000 agents, and will have an output of about 100,000 machines a year, and will 1 divide the 'country for business purposes, in central, eastern and western districts, with a manager for each. It will be a corporation pure and simple, the enterprises combining and losing theirown individuality. It is not yet determined whether any of the factories in the combination will be phut down. Each of the concerns will go on with its business until all the details are arranged for merging all into the one big concern. When the organization is i com Die ted it is the intention to make a demand for cheaper twine from the bindingtwine trust. : A special from Akron, O., says: The combine of the mower and reaper manufacturers of the country takes in three big concerns here and in Doylestown Aultman. Miller -& Co., Huckeye mower and reaper manufacturers; Whitman & Barnes Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of mower-knives and sickles; J. F. Siberling & Co., manufacturers of Empire mowers and reapers, and Siberling, Miller & Co., Doylestown, manufacturers of Excelsior mowers and reapers. These represent a capital stock of 4,500,000, part of the Whitman & Barnes Company's capitaliza tion being represented at Syracuse, N. Y., and St. Catherine, Ont, and employ together about 1.800 men. Colonel Conger has worked hard tor several years for the combine that has just been made. The McCormicks and the Deerings. of Chicago, were the hardest people to get, and it was only within a few weeks that the widow of the elder McCormick consented to name any price in stock of the combine at which she would part with - her vast interests. The eventual result of the combine will be that a machine taking in the best points of all since all patents go into the new company's hands will be made the country over. The taking in of the Twine and Cordage Trust is probably merely a matter of time. t Grand Army Instructions. Boston, Nov. 20. Commander-in-chief Veazey, of the G. A. R., has issued general orders Nog. 5, 6 and 7. The first requires an inspection in all departments of posts not inspected previous to the last national encampment, and calls upon department commanders to take action in the matter of delinquent posts. The second order appoints assistant inspector-generals in many of tho departments. By the same order announcement is made that the provisional department of Oklahoma and Indian Territory was organized as a ''permanent department last August. The third order makes announcements coucerning the next encampment, representation thereat, eto. .A Very Diminutive Bride. Paris, Mo Nov. 20. A wedding is announced to tak? place in this city in a few days which is looked forward to with more than ordinary interest. The bride is Miss Nellie Branhara, a celebrated dwarf of this place, and the groom is a leading society man of Quincy. 111. She is twenty-three years of age and twenty-two inches high, having a faultless form and winning ways. The prospective uroom is live feet nine inches tall and twenty-one years of axe, and his little sweetheart can barely reach his hand as they walk along tho street, presenting a curious sight. The young man's parents strongly object to the marriage. Defaulting Station Agent. Boston, Nov. 20. Lyman Bishop, for four years station agent on the Boston fc Maine road at West Lynn, failed to appear at his place of duty on Oct. 6, and has not since been seen in this vicinity. It is charged that he is short in his accounts to the amount of 2.800. Bishop is thirty-two years of age and has a wife and two children. Jstatnboui Lowers Ills Record. Stockton. CaL, Nov. 20. Stamboul beat his record on the Stockton track to-day, making a mile in 2:11 14. The first quarter was made in :S3 and tho half in hoaj. Goldsmith drove, and Harry Whiting accompauied with a running mate. The conlidence of people who have tried Hood's Sarsaparilla. in this preparation, is remarkable. It has cured many who have failed to derivo any good whatever from other articles. For discuses caused bv impure blood or low state of the system it is unsurpassed.
