as In thl assemblage of Republicans, which comM from every nf ighborhood in the State, c online ourselves to the question. What shall we do In the next presidential contest? NO HAR3HXE53 FOIl DKMOCUATS. "I have no harsh words for our Democratic friends. They are simply bewildered. Th-y have been remitted by their own schemes and policy to midnight darkness. I doubt very much if they know what It Is that hurts them. Nevertheless, let us treat them kindly and as a defeated foe. I need TKt admonish you to that; Republicans" are Always kind. 'Ve feel that we are laboring for the :ountry and not for ourselves. We come together for conference and not for spoils. You aro here to decide what we are required to do to make our victory complete, and I trust in the providence that protects thl great country. I love this State; I love the Republican of this Mate. I pray to Almighty CA that He will cive us vigor, energy and power until the pillars of this Union shall be planted so firmly In the American soil that no power on earth shall be able to shake them. We are a sreat people, and all the strussllng nations of earth are looking upon us. If wc fall they will become dsion lent. Who can tell the result of our triumphs and successes upon other nations? The time will come when kings will r.o longer wear their crowns and the universal worid will shout paeans of glory to the success of the American people " Three cheers were proposed for Mr. Thompson after he took his at. and they were Riven with a tremmdcis good will. Gentlemen." said the man who has teen o highly honored, "the applause of my fel-low-citixens is all that I have ever desired in this world." THOMAS II. NKLS0.V3 REMARKS. Thomas XI. Nelson, of Tcrre Haute, was the first speaker called upon after the venerable man from Terre Haute took up the gavel. General Nelson talked In a happy vein about the recent elections. For the life of him there wasn't a word in the English language that fitly expressed the overwhelming defeat of the Democrats; Indeed, he had to resort, he said to that unusually significant Greek word. "sockdolager," which nn Indorsed bv the audience with

shouts of laughter. There was not a de- J fat. net even an InsignlHeant one. lo-mar the chain of victories the arly part of this month. Tammany's narrow escape was no defeat for Republicans, for In New York the l.sue were entirely local, growing out of a verv rigid enforcement of excise laws. In Indianapolis, at the October election, loal causes also prevailed, and many voted for Tag?art on the same ground that many voted for Tammany In New York. Ohio was a great surprise to the speaker not In the complexion of the result, but In .the magnificent stze of the majority. He had heard Republicans In Toledo talk conrtdently during the campaign, hut they sized up the majority between and 30,ono, having faint Idea that it would reach loO.QOO. The mention of Foraker as a probable successor to Cal Rrlce In the United States Senate from Ohio evoked applause. The name of McKlnley. was greeted with cheers, and Allison's name was heartily received. The speaker took most satisfaction In summing up the victories In the breaking of the solid South. He looked for North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and other Southern States in the. Republican column next year. In conclusion, Air. Nelson read a bit of postelection doggerel, pertinent to the political earthquake in Kentucky, and recently printed In th New York Sun. It was an apoosite selection, and created laughter. . Chairman Thompson took occasion to remark that no regular, programme would be followed as. the conference was In the naturc of a love feast. He suggested that the gentlemen present call upon the men they wanted to speak. Chairman Gowdy, of the State committee, was sitting near the chairman and It . was proposed that "Father" Gowly gay a few words. That gentleman denied that he was a public speaker, and as he knew that fifteen or twenty candidates were present, he Intended to give way to them. Ixud cries for Charles W. Fairbanks brought that gentleman to the front, where he was greeted by some one as a "Tall Sycamore from the Wabash." Mr. Fairbanks referred to a rod the Republicans had In pickle for the real "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." FROM, MR. FAIRBANKS. "Fellow-Republicans." said Mr. Fairbanks, 'this is an hour when Republicans should feel proud of their Republicanism. The unerring Indications of the times point to a return of, the Republican party to an ascendency In the affairs of the Nation: The recent elections In the various States were won on national issues largely. In Ohio, where I had the honor of participating In the campaign, the tendency a to overleap the campaign that was on and reach that of 13DC- The desire was overwhelming to return the national government to the party from which it was taken. If I do not mistake the signs of the time, and I am sure I read them aright, we will be led back to the control of the government by the greatest of American statesman, Benjamin Harrison." At this mention of General Harrison's name there was the wildest of applause and after it had subsided one lone voice In the rear of the hall shouted, "What's the matter with McKlnley ?' Mr. Fairbanks answered that McKlnley had a warm spot In the hearts of Republicans, and his was a great doctrine. "Indiana Is no longer In the doubtful column, but Is a Republican State and though the Republicans have fought under many difficulties In the last few years, they are coming Into a full and glorious victory. There was some tendency on the part of the Democrats to criticise the acts of the last legislature. It is quite natural for a Democrat to criticise the acts of a Republican body, but we can successfully challenge comparison with the last Democratic Legislature. Another thing, there. is nothing more certain than that Governor Matthews will lay down his mantle next year to be taken upi by a Republican. And from the evidence we have had In he last lew days I think there are a number of good Republicans who are willing to asnume it." There was a laugh at this sally at the expense of the gubernatorial candidates. Mr. Fairbanks observed that Voorhees, Democracy's chieftan in the State, was weakening somewhat. He has recently substituted In place of his lecture on free silver one on "The Resurrection." In closing, the speaker called on the Republicans of the State to make s. mighty pull next year and roll up a Republican majority of &,CW, which he thought could be obtained. The supporters of Messrs. Watson and Johnson, who will be pitted against each other, for congressional honors next year, were at the conference In considerable nurr.beis and Immediately after Mr. Fairbanks had taken his seat, cries were about evenly divided betweea the friends of the two .Congressmen. Dunns a lull Chairman Thomison announced that he must take leave of the conference and he wanted to bid the men from over the State farewell till they met again in a Republican convention or till they came together again to shout the paens of victory. Smiley N. Chambers was called to the chair by Mr. Thompson, who then left. Mr. Chambers, in assuming the gavel, claimed he could not preside with the success of the venerable statesman. As Mr. Thompson had suggested that there were fifty candidates in the room who wanted to speak Mr. Chambers maintained with some show of seriousness that ho proposed to . speak first himself lest he be forgotten later on. MR, GHAMHKRS PRKSIDES. "I take the liberty of saying," said Mr. Chambers, "to the gentlemen who desire gubernatorial honors that they have my full permission to go after the honor with ail their might. My friends have coupled my name with that honorable nomination. I eel that I ought to say. out of Justice to my friends an',' out of Justice to the gentlemen, who ar candidates, that I am 'not now, have r ot been, nor will be a candidate. I would be proud to preside over the destinies of so great a State as Indiana and it Is a most laudable desire these gentlemen have. Men of high character have niled the gubernatorial office and none have been of hi her character than those Republicans who niled 1 t Referring to the prospects for next year Mr. Chambers raid: "After the election of IKfc! dArknea set tie J over the country and 1eaoUtion followed. Storms came, but they have lasted, long enough. Ily electing a Rf publican Congress in lfttt we saw the first break of th. coming day. In 1S35 we saw the dawn which in will open Into refulgent day." Mr. Chambers went over in brief detail the maladministration of Cleveland, characterlrlng hi treatment of foreign affairs at so Imbe.MIe, so disreputable, that the pccple havo been aroused to an indignation unknown since the days of th war. The next man, he said, who fills the presidential chair will be a man whose record and statesmanship Is a guarantee that the rights of American will be protected abroad as well a- at horn?, whether at Hlucflelda or Hawaii, Iterlng sea or Gibraltar. The Republ' an IrcsiJent will be a man , whom they can r.Hther threaten nor cajole. Never since the days of the war. Mr. Chambers observed, was so mucli patriotism abroad as now. : The names of several othtr well-known Republicans got mixed up in the babel of crie tha-t followed. "Johns-ju," "Watson." "Doxey," "ayre." "La mils" were heard throughout the hall. The chairman tlrst

asked Henry V. Johnson to eome up to th platform, and as that Congressman went up the aisles his supporters roundly applauded him. Mr. Johnson spoke rapidly yet effectively. HENRY U. JOHNSON TALKS. "I came to this conference." said he. "because I wanted to come to the fountain of Republicanism and renew my Republicanism before crossing the mountains to enter the first Republican legislative body I have ever had the honor to sit In. The people made a mistake in putting Grover Cleveland in power, but the American people are always ready and willing to remedy a mistake when they nee they have made one. One thing resulted In the late elections. The decadence of free-si:ver sentiment was shown. Some people hesitated a short time ago between two theories, for free silver was plausible, but after a proper conideratlon the. great ma?s of them cast their belief In sound money. The party that plants Itself on the basis that a dollar shall be an inviolable dollar shall triumph. The elections showed also the decadence of the solid South. Why should people solidify on geographical lines? When we plant Republican States south of Mason and Dixon' line then indeed have we a great Republic. The meeting of the G. A. R. on Southern soil, the reunion of the blue and the gray at Chattanooga, the reception to McKinley In the South, the flow of people from the routh to the world's fair, the words of General Harrison to the Confederate General Gordon In this city all these things appeal to the sentiment of the people of the entire countrv. No longer will the question of negro domination be the basis of a political controversy In the South, but. Instead, a policy of business. Then will de the cry from the South for protection to Their industrial, agricultural and mineral resources. "Few men know how to draw lessons from victories. While not dampening your ardor, I would remind you of the army that disorganized too soon after victory. We should strengthen our forces and keep up our organization. Let us read that victory means wo must deserve the victory. Let us not be vain enough to to suppose that the recent elections were solely a victory of Republicans. It was not solely on account of the Republican." that we carried the Southern States. Lei us concede that many Democrats voted with us because they loved their country better than their party. I.et us realize that while we can reaowy see how Democratic theories in practice carry the country to ruin, yet that a great many Democrats are honest In their advocacy and have the courage of their convictions. Let our language be one of logic as well as enthusiasm." "MAN WHO BEAT HOLMAN." It was of course expected that Mr. Watson would follow Mr. Johnson, and the "man who beat Holman" was as warmly received .s the man who will contest with Mr. Watson next year the nomination in the new congressional district. Mr. Watson, as usual, was effective in his oratory. "If ever Republicans had occasion to be happy," he began, "it is now. The party has occasion to be happy for its past and for its future. It Is happy because In the havoc wrought by the paralyzing' hand of Democracy the appealing hand of the Democrats is stretched out asking to be saved from themselves. The Republican party has never swerved from Its principles. It is now the same party of Lincoln and Grant, of Garfield and of Elaine. It has achieved Its victories on the principles of protection to the American people on the farm, in the factories and In the homes. What we need is to get back to the old Republican way. to the Ren Harrison way. The first requisite for a great Republican victory in W is the nomination of Renjamin Hartison. ' The country will be' safer in his hands than in those of any rmn that has been mentioned for the high office." "What's the matter with McKlnley?" came the single voice that had before blurted out this query. "He Is a good man." retored Mr. Watson, "but the people of the country are turning to Harrison. The people are constantly contrasting the prosperous administration of the Indiana man with the present administration of Cleveland which has been so lamentable a failure. The people say -Harrison gave a magnificent administration before, and they know he can do it again." Mr. Watson then held up in fine scorn the various features of. the Cleveland administration, calling attention to the recent unAmerican remarks of Bayard, whom Cleveland sent to represent the United States at the court of St. James. The questionable methods of the administration in meeting financial problems were in turn arraigned. "As far as consistent with the International comity." concluded the speaker, "we viauM rManlzfl strucsline Cuba, as a bel

ligerent. With such a candidate as I havfj named. we will sweep inuiana ana me entire Union. I am glad I can say Indiana Is reliably and endurab'y Republican. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Will Cumback was the next speaker, and in the course of his remarks he was responsible for much mirth, which on one occasion was at the expense of the gentleman himself. He made a faux pas. which he admirably turned a second later. He insisted first that his modesty had Increased with his years. In his1 earlier political days he was always afraid that he would not be called on for a speech, but he claimed it was Just the other way now. "I helped organize the grand old Republican party In this State." he said. "If you hunt up the old musty records of that event you will find mr name the first one on the list. I stood by the party through thick and thin. I have had some honors. I. was on the Republican electoral ticket In 18j0 and with the others on the ticket cast the first Republican electoral vote Indiana ever gave. If I never had any other honors that was enAUvolce: "If I had had that much I would till t Even the speaker laughed at this. He recalled a remark made by old Dick Oglesby, which he thought a very apt one, as it applies to the Democratic party of to-day. Oglesbv said, when it was suggested that the Democrats ought to have a turn In running the government: "Let the Democrats run this government! Why. it's all we can do to run it ourselves." Mr. Cumback referred to the successes of the party in the past. He thought the civil war victory was largely responsible for the French leaving Mexico, thus permitting that country to have a republican form of government. It was the Republican victories." he continued, reaching his peroration, "that caused'the people of Hawaii to sweep the duky queen off her throne outf In the Mississippi and become a republic. A spontaneous laugh almost assumed the proportions of a din at this "l?Pt?.raPh,; ical error of the speaker. "That s all rlsrht " he said, recovering his composure. "If there is anything the Republican party is up on. it's their geography." The Chairman I've heard it said. t Old men for counsel, young men for war. Tm ready." shouted Mr. Cumback. who by this time had gone to the back part of the hall. MR. GRIFFITIIS'S VIEWS. ' John U Griffiths, who is also a gubernatorial candidate, was the next one called out. He was very well received. He held it to be an Inspiration to look into the faces of so many Republicans gathered from all parts of the State. "The political sky," said he. "is arched with a mighty bow of promise. It matters not whether we march under the banner of tho valiant McKlnley, the sagacious Allison or the superb Harrison, we will present a solid front to disorganized Dcmocracy " Mr. Griffiths thought the recent victories of the Republicans would wipe out geographical politics, for the people in the South will vote hereafter for their interests and not their prejudices. The victories meant death to political bbsslsm as the people in several States have shown that they will no longer consent to be pawns on a chessboard to be moved about by some political boss whose ultimate end is to plunder and pilfer. A victory In means an end to any more bond issues. There will be no such financial farce as the issuance of fifty millions in bonds to a syndicate at 104. with the market price a few months later at more, than Mr. Griffiths went over the financial record of the Democratic party, showing that plank in their last national platform favoring a return to State bank, with the danger of a repetition of old wild-cat davs. In Ohio the party had declared for free silver and in Kentucky they had nominated a soft money man for Governor on a hard money platform. After Mr. Griffiths quit the platform there were calls for Chas. F. Griffin, who was not in the loom. Iliiam Rrownlee responded to calls. lie thought he had been called because he was net a candidate. He believed In giving a big proportion of the honors of victory to the men who organized the party in the townships. Honor should bo given to the men who hold the plow too. The entire people in Indiana, he held, wanted to feel a little more secure in their government than they have felt during tho last three or four years that Cleveland has lwen driving the wild horses. "When n controversy arises," concluded Mr. Rrownlee. "I want to hot represented at the head of the Nation by the best, the brightest and bravest man, and next year I want Hen Harrison." TTUIJUTE TO MR. THOMPSON. When Chairman Chambers int reduce 1 Charles Ii. Landls. of Delphi, he Intimated to the conference that he was saving some of the best wine for the last and from

the manner in which the Republicans welcomed Mr. Iandis they agreed with the chairman. Mr. Landls made one of the best speeches of the day, although he ridiculed the idea of calling on "a modest, every-day country newspaper man, after such a flow of oratory." "How Grover Cleveland's ears, must be tingling about this time," and the popular newspaper man from Carroll county laughed. "I have one regret at this meeting and that is that the respected Richard W. Thompson was unable to remain with us during the day. Every time we hold a convention or a conference we elect him chairman because we think it will be his last time at a political convention, but each time he appears again, and becomes dearer to us than before. He plays more farewell engagements than any singer I ever knew. Even more than J'attl. et he is dearer to us than that great singer ever was to her admirers. Germans have an old lesrer.d that Charlemagne returns every year and scatters blessings over the country he ruled centuries ago. I think sometimes when Richard W. Thompson passes away his spirit will return to watch over our councils." Mr. Landl3 referred to Cleveland's recent Thanksgiving proclamation, in which he stated that the American people should bo thankful for bounteous returns. Mr. Cleveland issued his proclamation before the late elections. The President also suggested that every American refrain from his usual vocation on Thanksgiving day. Many Americans had occasion to refrain from their usual vocation many days on account of the acts of the Democratic President, perhaps Cleveland would, refrain from his usual avocation and not go a-fishlng. "The Democrats have little left," humorously remarked Mr. Landls, "except that minnow bucket, the grin of the Tammany Tiger and Tom Taggart's smile, and this is a trinity on which they can make but little of a campaign." In the Ohio campaign, where Mr. Landls had spoken, he noticed that the Democrats fought with unusual vim and fought with all the sinews that money and confidence could furnish them, but the people were looking straight ahead and could not be diverted by local issues. They were looking to a return of the prosperity on which they had turned their backs in 18?2. The people also want a broader Americanism than that which in a sneering way pronounces all patriotic sentiments as Jingoism. A telling illustration of Ben Franklin's "Jingoism." which saved to this Nation the country from the Ohio river to the great lakes, was given. A recent instance In Constantinople was also cited where a French diplomatic officer called on a high Turkish officer at midnight and Informed him that a Frenchman who lived in the interior of the Suitan's domain was in danger of his life. The diplomat informed the Turk that if the Frenchman was killed the diplomat would demand the head of the Governor of the province. The Frenchman's life was spared. "We should go after Mr. Waller In some such spirited fashion," added the speaker. "The people of this country- are alive, and they want a live Congress and a live President." Justus C. Adams. Speaker of the last House of Representatives, spoke briefly. He said it was the first occasion the Republicans of Indianapolis had since October in which to appear without mourning. Indianapolis was not lost because she 13 a Democratic city: it was due more to the apathy of Republicans themselves. Local causes were responsible. Mr. Adams did not think one administration would be able to succeed itself in this city for some years to come. The city, as well as the county, would be in the Republican line next vear. Prof. M. L. De Motte. of 'Valparaiso, referred to as "the youngest man in the room since Mr. Thompson left." snoke In a few

rrell-chosen words, Ex-Congressman Joeph H. Cheadle was also one of the speak ers or tne aay. i;x-senator O. v.. Hubbeil, of Elkhart, referred to the good he had derived from the conferees. At half-past 4 o'clock the conference adjourned. DUNKAVEX WAS HASTY. UaaU of Ills Charged Against the Crew of the Defender. NEW YORK. Nov. 20. A local paper says: It was rumored to-day that the committee appointed by the New York Yacht Club Monday night to investigate Dunraven's charges would secure some interesting testimony when it came to question a certain unnamed official connected with the dry dock at the Erie basin. According to the report, this official tells a story that gives a slight basis for Dunraven's charges. though had he taken the trouble to Investigate more thoroughly, it is said, he would have learned that there was nothing irregular in connection with the handling of the Defender. The official referred to is quoted as saying that several hours before the Defender was measured the first time two and a half tons of pig lead, which had been ordered a month before, was placed on the deck of the boat In the presence of designer Watson. It Is claimed that not only Mr. Watson, but Vice Commodore Glenn, Dunraven's representative, was aware of this, and saw the lead afterward stored away In the Defender's hold. It Is also reported. In connection with the investigation of the charges, that Ogden Goelet and J. Malcomb Forbes are also on the committee that will Investigate the charges, though their names have been previously withheld from the public. No one at the quarters of the New York Yacht Club to-night would say anvthlng about these reports one way or the other. RUSXIMr RYCKS. i Three Leaders In the Last Event ut Lexlnjcton Finish .uirn Apart. LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. lIO.-This was the ninth day of the Kentucky Association meeting.

CIRCUIT NOT SETTLED

JUT TOLEDO AXD COLIMIUS AY ILL rnonAULY jkt fiiaxchises. "Dart". Danlier and Dickson A Talbott Illddlnir for Columbus in the AVestrm Leanue. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CHICAGO, Nov. 20. The Western League met In annual session at the Great Northern Hotel this morning. The short session before lunch was 'devoted to cleaning up the affairs of the .old league, an 1 the main feature of that was the division of spoils in other words, dividing the sinking fund of 310.000. After lunch the new league went into session, those present being President Ban Johnson, tt Cincinnati; John T. Brush and W. F. C Golt, of Indianapolis; Vanderbeck, of Detroit: Klllilea,- of Milwaukee; Goodenow, of Minneapolis, and Manning, of Kansas City. The committee appointed to consider applications for franchises made its report. Columbus, Toledo and Omaha are the three cities which want to complete the league circuit. Toledo and Columbus are reported on favorably, but the vote has not yet been taken. J. W. Gunnells is the backer of the application from Toledo, although the club will be in the hands of first baseman Carney. "Denny" Long, the irrepressible, is sponsor for the Omaha application, having finally declded'not to go East until assured that he has no chance in this league. It is probable Omaha stands little show, and that the other two cities will be taken in. The question will be decided to-morrow morning, when Comlskey will be here from St. Paul. Over the Columbus franchise there promises to be just as Jively a contest as there was at the October meeting over the Minneapolis franchise. There are four applicants for the franchise, including T. J. Loftus. well known in baseball; John J. Shepard, a street-railway man;.- "Bert" Dasher and Dickson & Talbott, theatrical people. Dasher is a well-known theatrical agent for Royt, while Dickson & Talbott are managers of a big theater at Columbus as well as at Indianapolis. Apparently Loftus has the Inside track, but the competition will be lively. Mr. Brush, of Indianapolis, is behind Dasher's claim, and may use his strong influence effectively. . It was decided that in the future the president should always notify all clubs immediately when a player had been released or suspended. The time of the annual meeting of the board of directors of the league was fixed to be held on the Wednesday following the second Tuesday of November, at 9 o'clock, in Chicago, although special meetings might be called whenever they were desired. x "Jimmy Manning proposed a rule prohibiting the sale of players by one Western league club to another Western League cluhj during the playing season. He was supported by Brush, the argument being that it was now easy for a club which was fighting for first place toward the close ofthe season to secure players from a team hopelessly far down in the race and perhaps return those players at the end of thp season. The suggestion was stoutly opposed by Killilea and others. His argument was that it would prevent a club disposing of extra men. for which it might have no use; also, it would.be of advantage to any club that might have alliance with League teams, for these clubs could strengthen their teams more easily than others. At the afternoon session a variety of matters was considered. Several amendments to the constitution were made. It was decided to abolish the old rule whereby each cluh was obliged to contribute 10 per cent, of the receipts of each game to the league. Hereafter they will be assessed 11,000 each In order to fulfill their obligations to the league. To-morrow, morning the question of the circuit will be considered. George J. Gunnells will likely receive the Toledo franchise. On the 1st and J3th of each month the clubs will be assessed alike to defray the running expenses of the association. Other topics were discussed, after which the league adjourned until to-morrow. In the official figures on. players averages, which will be presented to the league tomorrow by President Johnson, it will be shown that Indianapolis leads the league in batting and stands fourth in fielding. Krause. of St. Paul, leads the catchers, with an average of 930 in fielding. The Kansas City inflelders show up brilliantly, Klusman leading the first basemen. Manning the second basemen and Hatfield the third basemen. Newell, of the champion Indianapolis team, is tenth among third basemen in fielding. Schelbeck. of Detroit, leads the short stops, although the honor really belongs to Taylor, of Milwaukee, who played in many more games. Irwin, sold by St. Paul to Cincinnati, ranks next.

Von der Ahe Wins III fait. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20. In the Circuit Court this afternoon a jury gave President Chris Von der Ahe, of the ,SL Louis Browns, Judgment for $2,739. 70 against the National Baseball Club of Washington, D. C.

Mr. Von der Ahe had almost .complete control of the club, which finally went to pieces. Its debts were paid in full by the St. Louisa n. who then called on his brother magnates for their pro rata, share of the losses Incurred. The Wagners denied liability in the matter and every time the .Senators played here President Von der Ahe attached their share of the receipts. Wagner did likewise when the Browns played In Washington and at the end of tne season a considerable sum of money was tied up at each city. PI teller Hofer Married. CEDAR RAPIDS, la.. Nov. 20.

Conference at Whlch'the Revs. Mable, Thaiusnen and Other Spoke. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The opening session of the confernece on foreign missions. In the Interest of the American Baptist Missionary Union, was held to-day at the Mt. Morris Baptist Church. Rev. E. E. Chlvvers, secretary of the New York district of the Baptist Foreign Missionary Union, presided. Addresses were made by the Rev. George Thamssen. late a missionary at Kurnool. India; J. L. Nlcoll, British vice consul at Nyasaland, Africa; Rev. A. S. HobarJ, D. D., of Yonkers; Rev. R. Hartley, of New York, and Rev.. II. C. Mabie, Boston. Missionary Thamssen said that the natives in India are ruled. by caste and custom. There are cases, he said, wherein the natives have killed their children rather than have them become Christians. He contended that It paid to save these people, notwithstanding all that has been said to he contrary. . Vice Consul Nlcoll said that there Is mere or less friction "between the officials and missionaries In Africa. This was due chiefly to the fact, he said, that both sides were ignorant of the duties of the other. As an officer, he said he was grateful to the missionaries for their work in Africa. Civilization, he said, progresses wherever missionaries go and no country has done more for missionary work than Scotland. In his district, he said, there are represented the missions of Unitarians, Dutch, and the Established Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland tried to convert tho native princes, but have not succeeded thusfar. The greatest success, he said, had been attained in the conversion of slaves. The evening session of the conference was opened by an address delivered by Rev. W. P. 11. Faunce, of the Fifth-avenue Baptist Church. He spoke on "The Preaching Church and the Co-operative Lord."The chief address of the night was made by Rev. H. P. Mable, the home secretary of the American Missionaries' Baptist Union, cf Boston. He spoke on "Foreign Missions and Their Critics." The missionaries, said the speaker, expected to have many critics; they not only expected to. have them, but they wanted to have them, but at the same time they desired to be Judged Justly, impartially. But the critics, when they spoke of the work of the missions, seemed rarely to take into consideration the fact that the men who traveled hundreds, thousands and thousands of miles to tell of the glory of God, always made their stand in a region in which vice and crime and unbelief was most pronounced. The speaker dwelt at length on the improvement of China since, the war with Japan, and said that the outlook for the mission work was the brightest. WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES.

MR. CORBIN'S SCHEME

THE RAILWAY MAUNATH IMPORTS SEVEX IIl.XDRED ITALIANS. It Is .Maid He Will Found a Colony In Lonlnlana Threatened Lock out of -10,000 Men. NEW YORK. Nov. 21. The World this morning publishes the following: Austin Corbin recently chartered from Funch. Edye & Co.. of this city, the steamship Chateau Yquem. This vessel sailed from Genoa Nov. 8 for New. Orleans, with seven hundred Italians on board. She is 'due In New Orleans Nov. 26. At Mr. Corbin's office no information could be obtained about this Importation. It was known, however, that Mr. Corbin is at the head of a big colonization enterprise. He tought a large tract of land in Arkansas a year or two ago. It was announced then that he intended to found a colony to bear his name and to be run in accordance with his Ideas of agriculture. These Italians are said to be agriculturists. A member of the firm of Funch, Edye & Co. 3aid yesterday that he had no knowledge of what Mr. Corbin intends to do with the seven hundred Italians. He did not know whether any contracts had been made with them. It was suggested that under the contract labor law the firm could be compelled. If the passengers were contract laborers, to carry them back to Italy. "We were assured," replied the member of the firm interviewed, "that Mr. Corbin made arangements with the government before he went into the undertaking. I feel reasonably sure that our firm will have no trouble with the federal authorities at New Orleans. We are informed that the seven hundred Italians are agriculturists." Prof. Alex. Olderlni. who is in charge of the Italian bureau of Ellis Island, has been sent to New Orleans by Baron Fava. the Uallan embassador In Washington. It is understood that Baron Fsva suggested that the Italians be landed in New Orleans instead of New York. Dr. Senner, immigration commissioner, was asked whether he had heard anything of Mr. Corbin's project. "Only rumors." was his reply. "It is my business to look after the port of New York. I am not Immediately concerned in anything outside of it "Would the immigration laws permit Mr. Corbin to bring seven hundred Italians here to found a colony or to work for him in any other capacity?" "The case of each immigrant must be determined on Its merits. No wholsesale immigration Is possible unless each and every man is found eligible and does not belong to any of. the excluded classes. If a man is a contract laborer he mill be sent hack. If he is admissible as a colonist, he will be admitted." THE XEW YORK STRIKE. 3Iemlers of the Iron League May Retaliate by Lorklnjr Out 40,000 Men. NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-The delegates of the Housesmlths and Brldgemen's Union are reported to have demanded that the delegates of all the other unions call out their men in all cases where nonunion housesmiths are employed in the "event of being called on so to do. By the terms of the constitution of the board all or any of the delegates are bound to Join in a sympathetic strike wherever and whenever called on by one or more of their number. In retaliation for these sympathetic strikes the Iron League Is said to be contemplating a general lock-out of all union men employed by its members. Such action would throw forty thousand men out of employmenL The strike of the housesmlths has caused the electric lights to be cut off on several large jobs of J. B. and J. M. Cornell and Willlken Brothers, so that work cannot be carried on at night. The electric current waB shut off on the Immense building of Siegel, Cooper & Co., at Sixth avenue and Nineteenth street; the Hotel Waldorf annex at Fifth avenue and; Thirtyrfourth street and two or three other structures, because nonunion men were employed on them. This was part of the plan mapped out at the beginning of the strike. The strike managers also called on the hoisting engineers, the derrick men, the stonecutters and the plasterers on several buildings and they dropped their tools and quit work. The committee of the Iron , League met the Commissioner of Mediation and Arbitration to-night. Commissioner Feeney announced that he had seen the delegates of the strikers and that they were willing to submit the matter to arbitration. He pleaded with the members of the league to take a just view of the case." President Cornell said the Iron workers wire willing to do what they could, and what they thought was right in Ihe premises, and that their ultimatum had beeu published In Tuesday's papers. He would not insist on that, however, until he consulted several members unavoidably abcnt. Owing to the failure of these certain members to be p- nt nothing def)nlte could be arrlveu at. 1 ''row the commissioners expect to receh ne word from the Iron Iaue membe Miner Will He rad Cents. PITTSBURG. Nov. 20. It Is learned from W. P. Dearmlt, president of the New Y'ork and Cleveland' Gas and Coal .. Company, that he has made a contract with his miners for one year from Nov. 6 whereby he agrees to pay them 53 cents per ton. This Is an increase of 9 cents per ton for his men, but still falls 5 cents short of the present rate. At tho last conference between the operators and miners It was decided to fix the rate for the district definitely on the first Tuesday of December and at the same meeting a resolution was passed by which both sides agreed that whatever rate the New York and Cleveland Coal Company adopted In December it should be the prevailing rate. for the district. As the miners fullv expected that the rate would be made tt) cents or more it remains to be seen whether or not the resolution will be carried out. The conference between operators and miners Is set for next Tuesday and In order to discuss Mr. Dearmlfs latest move the miners have called a convention for Monday. General confusion in the coal trade is expected to follow the conference. Sovereign nenlcmed In a Huff. WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.

This, afternoon. In executive session, AssemblF t?. of New York, retaliated with charge of general mismanagement against Grand Master Workman Sovereign, whereupon the latter resigned. But the great majority of the delegates siled with Sovereign, and after a very heated debate he was triumphantly' reelected. His majority was largely in excess of the requisite two-thirds. To-moLrow the assembly will consiier and act 'upon a proposition to enforce a general boycott against the Lorillard Tobacco Company. . FOUR YOUX0 FIENDS.
