F. Vice, Anderson; captain of the guard, W. IL Blessemler, Laporte; grand tyler, Erhart Kettner, Muncle; trustees, Sherman Crolley, Muncle; 11. E. Wortz, Alexandria; P. J. Farr, Logansport. This afternoon there was a trolley car ride over the city, and the delegates were given an excursion to Anderson this evening. The order is a new one, organized from the ruins of the Knights of tho Royal Arch, which was recently disorganized in Cincinnati. In ills address to-day before the convention Commander Joseph II. Schaub said in part: "Civilization has taught that it is no crime to sell wine, beer or whisky. The law holds it a legal traffic. Yet we are branded by a larKfe class of the comrnunlcy as lawbreakers and desperadoes. Our children are scorned at the public schools. Our wives are ostracized from society, and we aib looked upon as a set of thieves and knaves. What has caused this uneven state of affairs in the social world, relating to the saloon man, tho largest taxpayer in the country? "My brother knights, the saloon man himself is largely to blame. It is not an Impossibility, as you have seen and know, to take a brave, high-spirited child and punish it until It is cowed. Such is largely the case with the liquor man. He has been cowed by madclous persecutors, brought about by the temperance agitator, who, under the guise of religion and for the alleged good and welfare of the community, has stepped into the forum of public opinion, aided by the legislative crank, the feminine lunatic, the hypocritical citizen, the bigamist preacher and the subsidized press. To such an extent has the onslaught been successful that to-day the saloon man is afraid to say, In many places, that his life is his own or that he is In the business. In the face of these palpable and appalling facts, gentlemen, what is the remedy? How and when can you place your children upon equal footing with your neighbor banker's children? When can your wife meet In the social circle with the dry-goods man's wife? When and how can you, as a saloon man, stand on equal footing with your lawyer or mercharit friend In the eyes of the business world? "There is but one remedy; break down these false and damnable barriers against yourself and your families. Come out In the open, assert your manhood, lay aside your petty Jealousies, band yourselves together as intelligent men, patronize your friends and boycott your enemies, support the newspapers that support you, stand by your brother knights as one man; organize, solicit your friends to Join your locals; elevate your business and hold your head up. In fine, be a man, and don't be afraid to assert your manhood. "There are in Indiana in round numbers about 7.S00 licensed saloons. Imagine, for one minute, what a power this army of business men could be, were they united in all Interests, as we are united here today. They are all voters, neoessarily must be so, before they axe permitted to pay their money for the privilege of retailing liquor, and there are not less than 20.000 other business then in the State who are directly interested in selling the licensed saloon man his goods. Add these together and you have 17,500 voters, who six years ago lay euplne and permitted the passage cf the infamous Nicholson bill, through the provisions of which the retail saloon man has been robbed of millions of dollars, at the behest of solicitation of a few blackmailers and rogues, under the gui?e of temperance reform." - LLEWELLYN FAMILY HEl'MOV, Elaborate Preparations Are Itelna: Made for a IHjr Day.

Keith, seized his little son Ecnnie and started to run out with him. The child's streams roused the household. The rogue dropped the child and lied.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Aug. 14. The American Window Glass Company has completed its No. 1 well on the Malotte farm, five miles north of this city, in wildcat territory, that greatly interests oil operators and proves beyond doubt that the Hartford City oil field is of wide dimensions. The nearest well to the new producer Is nearly two miles, and this leaves a wide scope of territory for operations in every direction. While the well is flowing greatly in excess of this, yet it is thought it will settle down to a dally production of twenty-five barrels.

PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRATS AT THE HA Hit IS II LRU CO N V I : N TI O N . Warm Prelude to an Otherwise Tame Gathering In Expected Democracy of the I". V.. IIARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 14. The con test between the. rival factions of the Philadelphia Democracy for recognition by to morrow's Democratic state convention is attracting more than usual attention. Both factions have filed complete lists of delegates, and the leaders of each are prepared to defend on the floor of the. conven tion their right to admission. Repeated attempts were made to-day by prominent party leaders outside of Philadelphia to restore peace between the discordant ele ments, but all their efforts were in vain. The list of delegates certified by the regu lar city committee, known as the DonnellyRyan men, has been placed on the roll by Chairman Creasy. This places the dele gates certified by the young Democracy of Philadelphia in the position of contestants. and forces them to take the initiative in the convention for recognition. Ex-Oover-nor Robert E. Pattison is chairman of the city committee, and will defend the right of the delegates to seats on the floor. ExJudge James Jay Gordon, of Philadelphia, will be substituted as a delegate to repre sent the young Democracy. There is no content for places on the state ticket, and it Is expected the nominations will be quickly made and without friction. Judge Harmon Yerkes, of Doylcstown, has no active opposition for Supreme Court judge, and his friends predict his nomina tion by acclamation. The nomination for state treasurer seems to bo going a-beg ging. Capt. William Hasson, of Oil City. and Representative Andrew J. Palm, of Meadvllle, were tendered the honor by party leaders, and there is a proposition to effect fusion with tho independent Repub licans on the state ticket by nominating Representative E. A. Coray, jr., of Luzarne. for state treasurer. It is conceded. however, that the nominee for this office will be a straight Democrat, and one who will not consent to withdraw in the event of a renewal during the campaign of an attempted fusion. The platform will be similar to the plat form or tne onio democracy, and will treat almost entirely of state issues. The last Legislature will be condemned for the passage of the rapid transit blll3 and the Capitol bill. The state executive committee met at noon to-day and selected the temporarv officers of the convention. Charles I. Don nelly, of Philadelphia, resigned from the committee, and ex-Oov. Robert E. Pattit?on took his place. 3IONTAOUE FOR GOVERNOR. Virginians Nominate by Acclamation Noteworthy Incident. NORFOLK, Va.. Aug. 14. The gubernatorial convention met here to-day soon after noon. The temporary organization consisted of State Senator Barksdale, of Halifax, chairman; Col. Joseph Button, of Appomattox, secretary, and R. D. Nichols, of Norfolk, sergeant-at-arm?.

Carter Glass, of Lynchburg, editor of the News of that city, was selected as chairman, and Judge W. S. Gooch. of Louisa, as secretary. Sergeant-at-arms Nichols was retained. The committee on credentials disposed of seven contests and seated Montague delegates in each instance. The convention reconvened after 8 o'clock t o- n i crh t unit Ktirht wer muria liv munv prominent Virginians. Swanson withdrew from the race and A. J. Montague was named for Governor by acclamation. J. Taylor Ellison, of Richmond, was unani mously elected chairman of the state Democratic organization for his eleventh sueceawive term.

ATTORNEY FOR SCHLEY

ISIDOR HA WOIt, OF HA LT 1 31 ORE, SELECTED 11 V THE ADMIRAL. Maryland' Attorney General Thinks the Case Will Not Occupy am Much Time m Expected. BALTIMORE. Aug. 11. It Is announced here to-day that Isidor Raynor, attorney general for Maryland, has been retained iiS one of the attorneys for Rear Admiral Schley in his coming hearing, being the court of inquiry. Mr. Raynor received a letter from Admiral Schley on Sunday, in which he was asked to act as one of the counsel in the case, and at once accepted the commission. Speaking of the case he said to-day: 'Immediately on the receipt of Admiral Schley's letter requesting me to become one of his counsel in this case I began an examination of the case. I had to some extent familiarized myself with the general surroundings of the controversy, but shall now enter upon a study of all Its details ami gather all the Information obtainable. We have four weeks In which to prepare for the hearing of the case, and In that time I can readily acquaint myself with all of Admiral Schley's movements and those of his squadron from the time it left Hampton Roads to the battle of Santiago. and with the dispatches which passed from tnc rsavy Department to Admiral Sampson and from Sampson to Schley. YY hen you analyze all the facts In this case, as 1 am trying now to do, you will nnd that, with the exception of two charges embraced in the precept Admiral Schley's alleged failure to destroy the Colon and his alleged withdrawal twentyfive miles at night after the establishment of the blockade at Santiago the whole controversy covers a period of only nine days, that is, from the time the Flying Squadron left Key West for Cienfuegos until it started back from Santiago by the Y'ucatan passage for the purpose of coaling ships. I don't think, therefore, the case will occupy as much time as contemplated, as it will be the effort of counsel and no doubt of the court to get right down to the salient points of the case and hold up before the country every movement Schley made from start to finish." TIN PLATE MILLS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) quarters from one of the Chicago lodgcb jasi nisnt. in discussing mis terse telegram one of the vice presidents of the associa tion said to the writer: "The reason they want to see Shaffer is because they want to as nira a lot or questions. They have had tht version of the New York confer ence of the executive- board with Schwab and Morgan from Vice President Davis. He has told them that President Shaffer and Secretary WilMams sigi.ed a promise to use their utmost endeavor to secure the adoption of the plan of settlement submitted July 'Si by Morgan and Schwab. They did not inform their associates upon their return to Pittiburg that they had signed any such' an agreement. When the written promise was read at the New York conference by Schwab the other members of the committee were amazed. Shaf fer said he signed it as an individual and not as an officer of the asEociatlon. At the same time he said he repudiated it. This was very bad tor a business order. Davis was disgusted and said so, and that he used his influence to prevent the Chicago, Joliet and Milwaukee men from striking is not strange to us. President Schwab per muted us to use nis private ornce as a consultation room. He wan outside, but returned unexpected. He found one of the officers of the asboclatlon rraklng copies of telegrams on his open desk. An uaiy scene followed, in which Schwab used bad words. It was these petty, nasty things which caused Morgan and Schwab to lose their tempers.' QUESTIONS FOR MR. SCHWAB. Ohio Secretary of State Seeking; Farther Information. COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. 14. Secretary of State Laylin sent the following notice to day to Charles M. Schwab, of lha steel trust, at Pittsburg: "Your attention is called to the requirements of the laws of the State of Ohio upon corporations of other States doing business In Ohio, and you are requested to fill out and return to this office the accompanying blank." The blank contains questions on how the concern does its business in Ohio. Secretary of State Laylin was engaged to-day in Investigating the status of the constituent companies of the United States Steel Corporation doing business in Ohio, and it was found that onlj' three had com plied with the State laws regulating foreign corporations. The three companies qualified to do business in Ohio are the American Steel end Wire Company, the National Tube Company and the National Steel Company. The records do not show that the Federal Steol Company, the Amer ican Tin Piute Company or the American Sheet Steel Company has ever been author ized to do business In Ohio. All of these companies are incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. Tho Federal Steel and tin plate companies were organized in 1S88. The Sheet Steel Company is of more recent origin. The three companies authorized to do business In Ohio came In during the incumbency of Attorney General Monnett. Secretary of State Laylin declined to-day to make any statement regarding the in terrogatories filed by Hon. Frank Monnett, attorney for the Anti-trust League. It was learned, however, that the present Investigation la being extended to determine the status of all other so-called trusts doing business In Ohio. It was claimed at the secretary of state's office that the Investiga tion with regard to the United States Steel Corporation had been going on for some time. Settlement Speculation. COLUMBUS. O.. Aug. 14. The local lodge of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers have received infor mation which lends color to the story that a settlement of the strike is In prospect. They held a meeting to take action on the appeal for financial assistance which had been tent out by the national officials and were preparing to make a contribution for the support of the strike, when they re ceived word not to do any tiling until they received further Information. The local men refuse to say what the communication contained other than the above, or to say from whom it came. The matter has caused a great deal of speculation here and the steel workers arc in anticipation of an early settlement of the trouble. Cannot Import Foreign Workmen. WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. Assistant Treas urer Taylor, of the Treasury Department, has directed Milton Smiley, the immigrant Inspector stationed at Columbus, O., to proceed to Bellalre, O., to Investigate re ports that have been received that the steel trust is preparing to import foreign work men to take the places of strikers. A number of communications have been received Irnm various sources to this effect. The suggestion is that the steel corporation proposes to lind expert workmen in Europe and bring them to this country in such a manner as to secure their admission. If any can be found in Canada, It is claimed, the same thing will be done. Threaten to IHsniantle the .Mill. CAMBRIDGE. O.. Aug. 1!. District Manaficr C. A. Hobinson. of Wheeling, was here to-day In the interest of the American Tin Plate Company, and has posted a notice asking the employes to return by Friday or consider themselves discharged. Ho says trie companv s oflleials propose to start the works Friday, if thev cm. hu.". should they fail, Kteps will be taken to dis mantle the mill ami move it elsewhere. It Is known that several applications have been sent to the otllces here for positions when the mill starts. SHAFFER'S II D UREA KS. Mn lenient WIilcli Prejudice III ae with the Public.

situation. The steel corporation may now be waging war against the Amalgamated Association, but it did not begin the war. The new exactions came In the first Instance from President Shaffer. It was he who demanded the consent of the steel corporation to go into the nonunion mills to organize unions, and when It would not consent to this it was Shaffer who declared war, and he cannot now throw the burden of that act on the other side simply because it is fighting back. A man or an organization or a nation that is attacked cannot be held responsible for the attack simply because of blows returneel or counter attacks made. The aggressor In a contest may not be in the wrong, but he does not help his case by saying the other party began It. In fact, it shows weakness in his case when he wants to shift it from its real ground over to some other. So, too, his mean fling at the worklngmen who have refused to strike that they are "wording In the slave pens of the trust and have not spirit enough to come out and Join the strikers," will not strengthen his line of battle nor bring him reinforcements. The mills are no more "slave pens" now than they were two months ago, when everybody was happily at work, or than they will be a few months hence, when all have returned to work. Why should such Insulting epithets be used? Does Mr. Shaffer expect that by abusing his fellow-workmen he can lash them out of the mills and force them to support him? If he does he shows a plentiful lack of knowledge of human nature. But that Is what he has shown from the beginning. If he had known the men against whom he planned this war he never would have begun It until he had thoroughly prepared himself. The Wt stern men. who nave refused to Join In this most Ill-judged labor war, have the right on their side, and are sustained not only by their own approving consciences, but by the vast majority of public sentiment. They have chosen to abide by their contracts. Men of he nor could do nothing else. DATE OF THE SIGNING. Ofilctnls Anxious to Know When Cht neue Protocol Will Re effective. WASHINGTON. Aug. 14 A dispatch was sent from the State Department to Mr. Rockhill to-day stating it was of importance for the department to know when the Chinese protocol would be klgned. The Importance attached to the actual date of ilgnlng is In connection with the time when the new tariff arrangement becomes effective, as Mr. Rockhlll has reported that tho 5 per cent, ad valorem will be. put into force two months after the Fignlng of the final protocol, except on goods shipped within ten days after signing. Mr. Rockhill's Intention to leave Peking soon, as reported in press cables, is In line with the purpose he communicated to the State Department about three weeks ago of leaving on Aug. 13. Now that an agreement on the final protocol has been reached it is hardly felt that Mr. Rockhlll s presence Is necessary at the signing, as Mr. Conger will bo at Peking eoon. Prophecy of Civil Wnr.
