NATIONAL MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.

Topics Discussed nt the Cloning: Session A Woman's Views. CLEVELAND, O., May 31. The morning session of the National Municipal League to-day was marked by a somewhat smaller attendance, the reason, r.o doubt, being that the. warm weather prevented many spectators from participating In the sessions. Francisco I. T. Milliken spoke of the municipal condition of San Francisco. Secretary Clinton Rogers Woodruff next, read a paper on "The Municipal Condition of Portland, Ore.," by Thomas N. Strong, third vice president of the league, who was unable to' be present. Prof. Albion W. Small, of the University of Chicago, read a paper on The Civic Federation of Chicago." Professor Email dwelt at length on the organization and history of the Civic Federation in his city and stated that civic consciousness' began in Chicago with a mass meeting held in 1S93, by William T. Stead, of London. President Frederick Elliott, of the Brooklyn Law Enforcement Society, also read a paper which detailed the work done by tho society in the recent social crusade in New York. The afternoon session opened with a paper by Frederick L. Slddons, of Washington, on the municipal condition of that city. He declared that the government of the District of Columbia by Congress was far from being satisfactory. "Good City Government from Woman's Standpoint," was the subject of an address by Mrs. C. A. Runkle, of New York. She showed, in a convincing manner, that municipal evils ptrlke directlv at the home and that therefore woman feels them the most severely. Rev. J. Z. Tyler, of this city, read a paper on "The Work of Christian Kndeavor Societies in Behalf of Good City Government," by Willis Baer, secretary of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor, who was unable to be present. The convention then ended, after a short speech by President Carter, in which he congratulated all who had attended on the beneficial nature of the proceedings. The place of the next annual meeting will be selected by the executive committee. Mr. James W. Prior, of New York, presented this resolution to be considered by the executive committee: "Whereas, The government and the Constitution of the .United States are founded upon the capacity of the individual citizen for self-government; and, "Whereas, The popular government in the large and rapidly-growing cities of this country has practically failed to develop capacity for local self-government In the citizens of our municipalities; and, "Whereas, Citizens whofail in their duty to the local government which affect 'daily and intimately the happiness, the comfort and the personal safety of themselves, their families and their neighbors, cannot continue to discharge the duty of citizens of the Nation with that patriotism upon which our forefathers founded our federal government; and, therefore, be It "Resolved, That, in the opinion of the National Municipal League, the present conditions of local government in the great majority of the cities of this country is such as to threaten the integrity of our institutions and ultimately the existence of tho Nation; and, "Resolved, That In the opinion of this league, the question of municipal government demands the serious consideration and devoted service of all citizens who would not have the rottenness of our city governments spread still suffering from boss rule." "WILL CONFER AGAIN. Miner nnd Operator Will Meet to Consider the Scale. COLUMBUS. O., May SI. The National Bituminous Miners organization, having decided against a general strike and declared the sixty-cent rate in force in too Pittsburg district and West Virginia, a bas'.s for a settlement is established in the other districts, and a joint meeting of miners' delegates and mine owners will now be called to settle the Ohio, Indiana and Illinois rates. Some of the State officers of the miners' organization are trying to oppose the decision of the national organization, but President Penna, of the national organization, declares that he will resign if the decision of his organization Is not accepted by the various districts. The refusal of the miners to quit work In the Pittsburg district and West Virginia when ordered to do so by the national organization has brought about the present situation. It is reported that the joint meeting of miners' delegates and operators will be held either Saturday or Monday. The joint conference of Ohio operators and miners adjourned at It o'clock to-night without having reached an agreement. Another meeting will be held at 9 a. m. tomorrow, and in the meantime the operators' committee, will try to agree among themselves. Tho Hocking operators offer 48 cents, and the other operators 51 cents a ton for mining. The latter are strongly opposed to a differential in favor of the Hocking valley. The miners refuse to accept less than 51 cents In the Hocking valley, but are willing there should be a differential. The AmnlKamnteil Scale. CLEVELAND, O., May 31. The session of the Amalgamated Association to-day was decidedly stormy. Although the recommendation of the scale committee that the puddling scale be fixed at $4 was adopted early in the convention, a number of the men who had been active in the agitation for a higher rate, and who were placed on the committee to confer with the manufacturers, broke over the traces and demanded a rate of J1.50. This was flatly refused by the manufacturers, who asserted that the business improvement is yet Incipient and . not such as to warrant the advance demanded. They Intimated that If the association would decide on a four-dollar rate they would agree to sign a yearly scale, thus doing away with the time clause, by which it has been possible to terminate the existence of a scale at sixty days notice, and which has always been very distasteful to the men. It Is a foregone conclusion that another conference will be held at Youngstown as soon as the convention adjourns. The finishers who were also unable to accomplish anything because of the action of the puddlers, are very angry at the action taken by the faction which fought for a higher rate, and some lively times are expected before the close of the convention. Resit mine: Work In West Virginia. BLUEI'IKLD,. W. Va., May 31. The four largest coal operators in West Virginia have resumed mining with a good force. Sixty new men went to the fields, to-day, and the coal shipments from this point aggregate 215 cars. It is stated that the leaders. Lawless and Webb, are much disappointed by the action of the United Miners convention at Columbus, In refusing to order a strike covering the entire regionnow supplying West Virginia orders. The old men are returning to work, feeling that further resistance is usel?. Most of the Virginia soldiers left Pocahontas to-day. 3To Shortage Found. GALESBURG, 111., May 31. The expert who for a week has been examining the books of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen reported to the convention. He found , no shortage In the accounts of the officers. He reported that the printing plant had run at a loss of over $6,000 last year. The convention accepted his report. The convention also adopted a system of graded' insurance policies, to be $4W, JSOO and $1,000. It al3 decided that on Monday bids for permanent headquarters would be acted on. . Wngew of 3.000 3Ien Inorenel. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., May 31. The Cambria Iron Company to-day advanced wages in all departments 10 per cent.

James Courtney, colored, working at the Capitol House, was attacked, last night, by six or eight rqen at the corner of California and Pearl streets and severely beaten. He was stoned and struck with a pair of knucks, and had it not beensfor the arrival of assistance he would probably have been murdered. Dr. Eisenbelss dressed the wounds, after which Courtney was removed to the Capitol House. Courtney was walking with a white woman, and' this is thought to have caused the assault. She claims she was afraid to go home alone, and that she asked Courtney to accompany her. She also cays that she asked her husband to go with her. but he refused, and then she turned to Courtney. "WITH CHINESE GORDO. Colonel De Coetlogon the Lnut Living European "Who Snvr 111 in Alive. New York Evening Sun. Colonel de Coetlogon, recently appointed British consul to Charleston, S. C. left New York this morning for his new pot. He arrived In the city on the American liner Paris on Saturday, and stopped over Sunday at the Hotel Brunswick. Colonel de Coetlogon has lived a life that has been full of adventure.' He was a member of the staff of Colonel Hicks, who was killed in the Soudan in 18S3. and was left in command of Khartoum when Colonel Hicks began his disastrous campaign against the Mahdl early In that year. It thus happened that Colonel de Coetlogon was in command at Khartoum at the time of the arrival of General "Chinese" Gordon, and is the very last European now alive who saw General Gordon before his death. Colonel de Coetlogon was assigned to the staff of Colonel Hicks by the ivhedive of Egypt in February. 1S83, and left Cairo, his previous post of duty, for Khartoum, immediately afterward. Part of his journey, from Suaklm to Rerber, lay through a desert. He rode upon a camel night and day so as to join Colonel Hicks at the earliest possible moment. Colonel Hicks had seen service In the Indian army, and was highly esteemed by the Khedive. He had been sent in charge of an expedition to supress the revolt headed by the Mahdl in the provinces along the Upper Nile. The Mahdl was the son of a carpenter, who had been apprenticed to a boatman on the Nile, but ran away to enter the sendee of a priest, after which he became a priest himself and announced that he was the long-expected redeemer of Islam, whom Mohammed had foretold. The Mahdi asserted that he had a divine commission to reform Islam and to establish a universal equality, law, religion and community of goods. With this alleged purpose In view he got together a large number of soldiers in the Soudan and proceeded to make war upon every one who did not recognize the divineness of his errand. One of his objects was the capture of Khartoum, recognized as the capital of Soudan. Khartoum was the center of the slavedriving system of the Soudan when General Gordon was appointed Governor-general of tho Soudan by the Egyptian government in 1877, and proceeded to make its tribes vassels of the tvnedive. General Gordon left the Soudan In 1870, and It was after his strong hand had been removed from the control of Its affairs that the Mahdlve began to make headway. It has been said that had General 'Gordon remained in control of the Soudan the Mahdl would never have been permitted to make even a respectable disturbance. Colonel Hicks began his campaign against the Mahdl in April. 18S3. In the latter part of that month he was attacked by the Mahdi's forces, which were repulsed with con.'lderable slaughter. A desultory warfare was kept up until the latter part of September, when Colonel Hicks and his entiro command were surrounded by overwhelming numbers of the Mahdi's troops, and were finally massacred. Colonel de Coetlogon said that when Col. Hicks began his campaign he took all of the soldiers at Khartoum who were considered of any account along with him. The remainder, left in garrison under his command, was practically an ill-armed and 111-dlsciriined rabble. Egyptian troops stationed at other towns about Khartoum were gradually forced to abandon their posts on the approach of the Mahdi's forces, however, and fell back upon that town. It wasn't long, therefore, before Colonel de Coetlogon had 6.00U soldiers under his command. These were all Egyptian troops, however, and Colonel de Coetlogon said that they couldn't be depended upon to any great extent. As the Mahdi's troops completed their circle about Khartoum all communication with the outside world was cut off. Colonel de Coetlogon was the only Englishman In Khartoum at the time, but he was so busy looking after his soldiers that he didn't have time to become lonely. Provisions had become very low for some weeks In Khartoum when General Gordon broke through the Mahdi's lines and came to the rescue. General Gordon was sent to Khartoum as British High Commissioner and as the Khedive's Governor-general of the Soudan. After Colonel Hicks's massacre It had been determined to evacuate the Soudan, and to withdraw all ot the Khedive's soldiers in garrison at various towns throughout the Immense province It was General Gordon's plan to turn the reins of government over to the descendants of the former Sultans of the tribes subjugated by Egypt. Under the rule of the Khedive's agents these tribes had been oppressed by extortionate taxes and had been subjected to tyrannical Injustice. Colonel de Coetlogon welcomed General Gordon at Khartoum on Feb. 18, 18S4, and escorted him to the palace that was to be his home as long as he remained Governorgeneral. Colonel de Coetlogon had caused an announcement to be made to the effect that It was General Gordon's purpose to withdraw the Egyptian troops and to restore the local Sultans to their, former Independent positions. The announcement was received with enthusiastic approval. General Gordon was greeted with every appearance of joy on the part of the natives, and Immediately after his arrival at the palace held a levee at which all comers were admitted. The enthusiastic. Arabs kissed his hands and feet and hailed him as "Sultan!" and "Savior!" General Gordon made a tour of his palace and foud great ledgers showing the debts of the overtaxed natives, together with whips and instruments of torture used in punishing them. He caused a fire to be built in the courtyard in front of his palace at once and publicly burned the ledgers, whips and instruments of torture. After watching these relics of the previous administration burn to ashes. General Gordon went to the pri?on and ordered the release of 200 prisoners who had been locked up without trial. Shortly afterward Colonel de Coetlogon was ordered back to Cairo. He returned down the Nile by way of Korosko. as the Rerber route was considered Impracticable. He got past the Mahdi's forces in safety, and was the last European who left Khartoum before General Gordon's death who is now alive. Almost the last words of General Gordon in bidding farewel to Colonel de Coetlogon were expressive 01 his commence in the success of his purpose. General Gordon was certaia that the natives of the Soudan would rather return to the allegiance of their former chiefs than submit to the Mahdl. He was hopeful that these chiefs would aid in his effort to withdraw the Khedive's forces from the Soudan. Rank in Fraternities. Philadelphia Times. If in war times you ran across a plain Individual in old clothes and a slouch hat surrounded by brilliantly bedecked generals you were generally safe In assuming that it was the commander-in-chief. So among the Odd Fellows, while the doorkeeper of lodges and the minor officers of. encampments are covered over with so many ribbons that there is hardly room for more, the grand master of the State and the grand sire who rules the order in the world, are In plain everyday dress and wear no decoration nor sign of distinction whatever. Indeed, almost as a rule you can gauge the influence and position of the average member of a fraternal body in exact reverse ratio to his personal decoration. There are so many of these mystic decorations gotten up for special occasions that they are practically meaningless. Man'i Cnrloslty. New York Evening Sun.

TRAVEL IN OLD TIMS WHAT KEPT THE COLOMES APART DEFORE THE REVOLUTION. Poor Honda nnd Political Rivalries Kept People vrltli Common In tcrcMtM from Affiliating. New York Evening Tost. The casual student of American history Is not a little puzzled to understand why the Feveral colonies that occupied the Atlantic seaboard maintained separate Interests for so long; why the New nnglani plantations flocked (so to speak) by themselves, turning a very unsisterly cold shoulder on New York; why New York In turn held herself aloof from New Jersey long after the growing commerce between the Infant commonwealths pointed to a community of Interest; why New Jersey and Delaware did not draw nlgher to Pennsylvania, and why all of these more northerly colonics kept themselves apart from Virginia and the Carollnas. One cannot have failed to notice, furthermore, that it took several years of agitation after the stamp act of 1763 to bring public opinion to anything like unanimity on this one great political subject of the lay; indeed, even after the declaration of Independence had put all the rebels in the same category to stand together or, as Ben Franklin briefly and eloquently put it. "to hang together" it took unlimited pulling and hauling on the part of the managers of the Revolution to keep the various sections in harmony. Recalling that the first gun that fired on Sumter in 1&J1 roused the entire country from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., from Canada to the seces sion line, we are apt to entertain a poor opinion of the responsiveness of the colonists in those days. But there is one very Important factor in the equation that we aro apt to overlook. The batteries of Sumter literally echoed themselves into the hearts of every . Northern patriot. Ere the sun had set on those epoch-making guns, their message had reached the ears of every listening American. Electricity sped the tidings from ocean to ocean. We are apt to forget, when comparing this later page with those earlier chapters of the Nation's history, that communication was far slower in the last century than it is to-day. How slow It was few actually realize. It may not therefore prove unprofitable to peer back Into the earlier days and see just what the means of transportation really were. Let us tak as our object of inquiry the facilities of travel between Philadelphia and New York. Our intercourse with Pennsylvania was always easier than with iloston. It will be remembered that Sir George Carteret settled at Elizabeth in 3654, where he found already four families. This gives us a starting point. The Jerseys remained under the Lords Proprietors until 1702 (Ea?t and West Jersey, for you will remember that Sir George divided the territory and willed East Jersey to certain trustees for the benefit of his creditors, who promptly sold it to Penn for the princely sum of 3,400, which certain. of the latter's counselors maintained was more than It was worth); but the legislature of the day found time as early as 1675 to give some attention to the subject of roads. Such a discovery appears the more remarkable when one reflects that this body, which was composed of but ten burgesses and representatives, met May 2T, looo. adjourned on the 30th, met again Nov. 3 of the same year, and four days later finally dispersed, not to come together again till 1675. I have often wondered what brought these worthies to a reconvening alter all that lapse of time, and now it seems that a reason has been. found; they wanted roads and met to get them. There had been a road from Elizabeth to near the site of New Brunswick; thence for the river was-fordable at that point a "road" had extended to near the spot where Burlington now stands. 4 A BAD ROAD. In 1693 an English traveler named Edmondson essayed to travel along this highway from the Rarltan to the Delaware; what kind of a road It was we can fancy from the fact that he had to employ an Indian guide to find It for him, and notwithstanding this aid, lost It near Six Mile Run, where he camped out for a night, and was glad enough to give up the task and make the best of his way back to Innian's ferry next day. This thoroughfare (?) wascalled the Upper Road, but there must have been travel by some other routes, for In 16X we note that a road was maintained to the eastward, and certain innkeepers appear to have been assessed to keep it in repair. The Proprietaries In 1683 plaintively beseeched Governor Laurie that "It might be discovered whether there may not a convenient road be found between Perth Town (Perth Amboy) and Burlington, for the maintaining of a land conveyance that way." Laurie did take some steps which resulted In a road to Amboy, connecting with a ferry-boat for New York. Later Governor Basse tried his hand at establishing a road through New Jersey to Pennsylvania, but met with no substantial success. Almost as soon, however, as any regular means of transportation was actually established, the good reople of New Jersey began to howl "Monopoly." It seems that a citizen named Delaman was allowed by Gov. Hamilton to drive a wagon for public traffic along the Amboy road. t This Urrihe abuse of executive power resulted in a petition to Lord Cornbury in 1707, wherein the Assembly, recounting the troubles cf the people, complained that patents had been granted to Individuals to "transport goods on the road from Burlington to Amboy for a certain number of years to the exclusion of others, which was deemed contrary to the statute respecting monopolies." The Governor In his reply defended the monopoly, as Governors are sometimes apt to do. lie pointed out that under this beneficent arrangement the suffering public was at least sure of a fortnightly conveyance, "which was never known before and In all probability never would have been" but for the arrangement; that the "settling of this wagon in so far from being a grievance of a monopoly that by this means and no other a trade has been carried on between Philadelphia. Burlington. Amboy and New York." Imagine the trade between Philadelphia and New York being accommodated by a "bi-weekly wagon." Cornbury seems to have had his way afxmt It. because there was no other response to the Assembly's petition during his reign, which ended in 1710. BUSINESS IMPROVED. After this the roads became free and business picked up. We are sadly in the dark, however, for data on which to base any accurate estimate of Its volum until ;1732, when. In March, Andrew Bradford's Philadelphia Mercury contained an advertisement that sheds some light on the subject. It reads as follows: "This is to give notice unto Gentlemen, Merchant?, Tradesmen, Travelers and others, that' Solomon Smith and James Moore of Burlington, keepeth two stage wagons, intending to go from Burlington to Amboy and back from Amboy to Burlington again, once a week or oftener If that business presents. They have also a very good storehouse, very commodious for the storing of any sort of goods free of any charges, also good care will be taken of all sorts of goods." We can picture the worthy James Moore and Solomon Smith plodding with their "stage wagons" across the State.' They doubtless deserved success, but there was opposition to be met; a line was about that time established via New Brunswick arid another by way of Bcrdentown-the latter going round bv South river and over the ferry to Old Slip to New York. In 1744 things further improved. There was a bi-weekly stage between Trenton and New B-unswlck. In 17TX) a new line was launched, the owner whereof takes public means of stating to "All gentlemen and ladles who have occasion to transport themselves, good wares or merchandise from New York to Philadelphia, that he has had a. stage boat, well fitted for the pur pose, which, air and weather permitting, will leave New York every Wednesday for the feny at Amboy. where on Fridav a stage wagon, would be ready to proceed Immediately to Bordentown, where they would take another stage boat for Philadelphia." We are not Utfcrcjea bv tho

In 1706. we ar intoriu-d. as an essential luxury, a certain new line of stage wagcii provided seats set on springs; but whether the innovation was Intended as an auxiliary to other springs Is not stated. I am inclined to doubt that the springs of the vehicles were of any but a very primi:ir description. The English stage coach wa practically a springless wagon until th year 1730. If the colonists had adopted tl.o few improvements then in European ue the fact would probably have been mentioned in some of the many advertisements whereby the rival lines nought to attract custom from each other. The wagon doubtless had covers and curtains to Wt down in bad weather. The bodies of th vehicles were, probably hung on leather straps which may have served to mitigate the Jolting somewhat. The highwat throughout the middle counties are naturallv good, so it is likely that even thus equips 1 the conveyances may have run along at a fair pace; but when a bad patch of the road was struck, dear mel how thy must have rolled and swayed and bumped. A SCENE IX THE CIIITIIAL WAR. Foiling? n. Mght Attack liy Firing Shells Giving n Brilliant Light. Correspondence of the London Times. A wounded Pathan, who was capture! after the fight north of the Panjkora bridge, has given our political officers a most vivid account of the enemy's action on that occasion. Every movement of our men was watched by the enemy from the hilltops. They paw the efforts to construct the bridge, and reconnoitered as closely as they dared the Intrenched camp of the Guides' Infantry. Then the thrilliart idea struck their chiefs of launching the heavy lops up stream to wreck the bride. He says: "We saw the floating roadway break up and Its pieces swept away in the rapid waters. Our watchman signaled the news from hill to hill, and the clans gathered for the fray, for we believed that the soldiers, separated from their fellows, wer delivered into our hands. Then our mullahs came and preached to us the rishteousness of our cause, and showed that Allah.' was mindful of his children by placing l.) rifles and much ammunition within their hands to grasp. VNow, we sorely desired those gun, and the words of our mullahs excited us creatly. We saw the men from the river bank marching toward us. and we believed victory to be certain. Hut when they s-;iv t: they went back tdowiy, anl we could nevtr get close to them, for some of their gun were always tirlnR amonj? us. and many were stricken anl fell. When the men had reached their camp and the sahib? acri the river beran tirinsr upon us. too. wo went back to the hills for shelter. Then our mullahs and chiefs talked together and decided that we should creep upon our r-n mies in the night and fall on them when the night was darkest. And every rua: went willingly for the guns we sorely needed. "There were two thousand hillmen wh set forth that night to crawl up to the soldiers' camp. We lay for hours In the wet fields, with the rain failing steadily, waiting for our chiefs to give the sign.a for the great rush. Word came round frona chief to chief to be ready, anl every ir.au crouched, grasping his weapon, to run forward. But at that ery moment a devil's gun boomed forth, and lo! Instead of bullets and balls corning out. there burst ovr us a mightv light, so great thnt we thoevht the night had suddenly become day. An I we cried aloud to Allah to abate his wrath against us. and when th great light fadM we all hurried away, and even our mullahs had no word to say." The explanation is that, in order to guard against any such nocturnal attempt to rush the position, a star shell had ien fired from the British camp. When th shell bursts it shows a brilliant maenelum light, vividly Illuminating the sun. rinding country. Allefceil Oiae of Leprosy.
