TOO MANY ON PAY ROLLS house roncE of emploves to he REDUCED THIS IVEVTEH. neprrnenfatlre IIcmenTTny'a MAi' Committee to Meet '. 1 nnd Select Xames for the Block. Staff Correspondence of the Journal. WASHINGTON. Sept. 6. It is proposed to make a. reduction In the number of employes In the lower house of the next Contress. Representative llemenway has been made chairman of a committee which will meet In Washington, Nov. 1, and make a report to the speaker showing superfluous rnpolyes. There has been no such overhauling for years and naturally many abuses have crept in. In the effort to provide places for Importuning representatives positions have been created which were not exactly necessary. Representative De Armond, the Democratic leader, at one time declared that the waste of money by the Republicans in providing places for its favorites was one of the disgraces of that party's rule. lie said he could point to scores and scores of useless employes. Representative llemenway, the bct-posted member of the ap propriations committee, asked Mr. De Ar- i niAfu? tr nnm a fpw. The riinMnfrinehpii I Missouri Democrat was dealing In generalities and could not name the position. The Indiana expert replied that the names of "0 employes were carried on the rolls of thin Republican House. He admitted there mlht be a few extra hands, although he diü not suspect there were many. In Missouri, he went on, they have a Democratic state Legislature and over four hundred employes are necessary to wait on the Ktatesmen while they are performing their duties. The laugh was on De Armond so strong that he subsided without another word. , Republican congressmen need not quake in their boots as the reduction will not be heavy. It will be more in the nature of a rearrangement of duties, although a number of positions will be disposed of permarently. The House is very much more "porky" in a political way than the Senate when it conns to distributing patronage. In the House but four Democratic employes have found their way to the pay roll. They are doorkeepers on the Democratic side. In the Senate nearly every Democrat is permitted to have an appointee. There are fewer senators and more places and the senators can more easily af1'ord to be generous. In the Senate the distribution of the patronage is in the hands of a compact and confidential little committee, of which Senator McMillan Is the head. He is very just and has a way of smoothing out the rough places so diplomatically that there is very little crowlinr. In the House the patronage is in the ' hands of what is known as the "hog combine." This patronage trust was founded by Representative Stone, of Pennsylvania, now the renowned Quay Governor and candidate for the United States Senate. This was eight years ago, but it has been perpetuated by various powerful representatives and now is practically in the hands of the four chief officers of the House serxeant-at-arros, doorkeeper, clerk and postmaster. Their interest in beirg fair lies in the fact that if they offend a ltrge element on the Republican side the dissatisfied group would certainly organize against them and put in officers to their liking. The present chief otiicers will be reflected and it follows as a natural consequence th tt mot of their subordinates will be reappointed. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that the most powerful 1'aetor In this group of lour 1 Clerk M.-Dowcll. of Pennsylvania, a Quay man. and. therefore, the Quay interest In the appointing power remains ps strong as in the days when Stone was forming the "hog combine " OTTO CAR.

Sympathy- Eiprmsed for Steel StrikeSpy System Denounced. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Sept. 6. The fifth day of the convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers was devoted largely to the reports of committees. Resolutions were adopted urging the carriers to assist in gathering: matter for a display at the St. Louis exposition, expressing sympathy with the steel strikers, releasing the editor of the Record from the. obligation of publishing contributions without distinction and indorsing the bill In Congress to pay carriers for overtime. It was also decided to eliminate pleasure trips from future conventions and devote the entire time to business. Delegate Smythe, of Buffalo, from the floor of the convention denounced the spy system employed by the department and President Parsons for conflrminR the action taken In certain cases. His scathing denunciation of trm president created considerable comment, but there was wild applause when Parsons replied that he was sorry he could not show that the carriers in question lied when they pleaded guilty to the charges. HANGED AT DEER LODGE JOXES M'AHTIItn, ALIAS JAMRS rLKMIXG, EXFXITED. Hatched a Dold Plot While In PrisonDropped from (fallows While Cnrtlne and Reviling. DEER LODGE, Mont., Sept. 6.-James McArthur, alias James Fleming, was hanged here this morning for the murder of Captain Oliver Dotson last February. The execution was witnessed by nearly every sheriff in the State and a large number of invited guests. McArthur kept his nerve too the last and walked to the gallows without a sign of weakness. After taking his placo on the platform he was given permission to make a statement. Facing the spectators, he launched Into a torrent of abuse of the men who had been instrumental In sending him to his death, and declared again and again that he was innocent. He rambled on for several minutes and finally the sheriff, seeing there was no chance to stop him, gave the signal for the trap to be sprung. The drop fell at 10:1C, and McArthui was pronounced dead seven minutes later. James Fleming's crime involved a most revolting and diabolical conspiracy. On Aug. 8. 1vm. Lugene Collolan-. an aged resident of Washington Gulch. Powell county, waa found murdered. For this crime Clinton Dotson. Charles Oliver Itenson and Ellis Persinger were convicted. Dotson was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Benson, who made a partial confession, and Persinger were sentenced to ten years. List January Persinger Informed Warden Conley, of the state prison, that Clinton Dotson and a convict known as James Mac-Arthur, but whose real nama was James Fleming, had conspired to murder Captain Oliver Dotson. Clinton Dotson's father, an old man living in Washington Gulch. Fleming, whose term was soon to expire, was to kill Captain Dotson. leave a forged confession and will, and arrange the surroundings in such a way as to lead to the theory of suicide. The contents of the confession were to be to the effect that Captain Dotson had killed Eugene Collolane. that his son. Clinton Dotson and Renson and Persinger were innocent, and through remorse for his treatment of his son he had killed himself and left the confession in order that Clinton Dotson might secure his release from prison. Fleming's reward for the murder was to be a share in JlS.ooo whleh Clinton Dotson claimed to 1 ive cached away in Wyoming, the proceed? of an alleged "train robbery! So will was this plot that the prison oflleials paid no attention to it. Early. In January of this year Fleming was released. On Feb. 1." he was seen at Washington Gulch. On Feb. the dead body ot Captain Dotson was found in his cabin with a bullet wound In his head On the wall was found a rifle with a string on the trigger leading to the dead man's body. The arrangement of the furniture and the other articles about the place indicated suicide. The purported confession as previously outlined, was found on a table, also a will bequeathing Captain Dotson's entire estate to Jd son. Fleming was captured near Missoula. On trial the circumstantial evidence showed that he had concealed himself in the Dotson house, and through a hole in the partition had fired the fatal shot. The handwriting in the alleged confession was identical with other specimens proven to be written by Fleming. The defense's alibi theory was omph U ly demolished, and the conviction was seucred within an hour on July V',. 'li iton Dotson was also convicted and sentenced to be haiuvrd Sept. K, but In his case a respite to Oct. 25 was granted by the Governor on technical grounds. Mrs. Austin has Just come to town.

MORE MILLS TO BE OPENED MANAGERS WILL TRY TO START WITH NOXUMON FOKCHS. Meet I nc of Amalgamated Association Advisory Iloard YcMertln y A Mew York llnmur. riTTSBURG, Sept. 6. In spite of the fact that the terms offered by the United States Steel Corporation for a settlement of the steel workers strike were limited to 6 o'clock last night the executive board of the Amalgamated Association, after remaining in session all of to-day, adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning without reaching a definite decision. The peace movement is regarded as practically dead. In the offices of the Carnegie building it was stated that the situation to-day was simple. The Amalgamated Association had rejected the terms offered by President Schwab and negotiations had terminated. The oflleials of the constituent companies had been instructed to start up all of the plants as soon as possible and with nonunion men. Just what the proposition was that Mr. Schwab made to the Amalgamated Association could not be learned. The Amalgamated men who know its details declined to say anything about it. It was stated on the other side, however, that President Schwab practically reiterated the offer made by Mr. Morgan that the corporation would sign the scale for all mills that It had signed for before the strike and that union wages would be paid in all nonunion mills affected in the controversy. Every move made by mill oflleials to-day indicated that the peace negotiations were all Off. The Demmler tin plate works at McKeesport resumed operations at 8 o'clock this morning. Six mills out of fifteen were i started with nearly one hundred men, many of them being old employes. There was no disorder. The deputy sheriffs were on duty, but there was nothing for them to do, as only a few strikers were about the premises. Thirty-six men were taken into the works by boat from Duquesne and thirty-three went through the gates. On account of the heavy fog the strikers' pickets who lined the river banks were unable to see the boat until the men had been landed. Manager Lauck stated that he had tifty-fuur men in the hot mill department and by night he expected one hundred men working, every one of them old employes. Two more mills, he said, would be started this afternoon. Five hundred more men were at work at the National Tube Company's plant at McKeesport this morning, making one thousand men now In the plant. A large number of others applied for work, but they were turned back because the mill was not in shape to take any more men on. There was no attempt made by the strikers to stop the men as they went In. and the management claim by next week the entire establishment will be In operation and the strike a thing of the past. The situation at the plants at Pittsburg was not greatly changed to-day. Twenty more men returned to the Pennsylvania tube works today and over two hundred men are now at work. A meeting of the former employes who are still out has been arranged for tomorrow at Moorhead's Hall, when Manager Latshaw will have a conference with the men. At noon a notice was posted at the Demmler works calling the attention of the old employes to the fact that the plant had resumed and requesting all vho wished to return to work to report for duty not later than next Monday morning or their places would be filled by other workmen. The notic Is signed by the American Tin Plate Company. Manager Lauck stated at that time that he had seven mills running and had enough men to fully operate them. Later advices from McKeesport indicate that the statement this morning that one thousand men were at at work at the National tube works was not exaggerated. Retween three hundred and four hundred men have been making repairs at this plant for several days, and this number was more than doubled this morning. As a result the plant is said to have been operated in part. It was stated in McKeesport that the strikers seemed to feel that their light was lost, though they would continue to do their picket duty and endeavor to induce the men not to return. At the mill of the Painter works. In this city, the management announced to-day that they had enough men to run double turns and live mills would be put on night next week. Rumors were circulated on the streets that the Monongahela works would be started in a few days. A wagon load of cots was said to have been taken Into the works last night, and sleeping and eating quarters were being erected In the mill for the use of the imported men to be brought here to break the strike. A Canal Dover, O., dispatch says: "General Manager Kline, of the American Sheet Steel Company's plant, was assaulted by a striker this morning and carried to his carriage unconscious. It is not known how seriously he was injured. Two sheet mills are going this morning and preparations are being made to start several more." XO MORE NEGOTIATIONS. Conciliation Committee Will, norrever, Act A pa In. If Called On. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. It is understood here that it is highly Improbable that the Unitd States Steel Corporation will take any cognizance of the Amalgamated executive board at Pittsburg, whatever the conclusion may be. It was learned to-day from an authoritative source that the time named in the tentative agreement reached here on Wednesday has expired; that the steel corporation had decided to participate in no further peace discussions, and there will be an immediate move for the general resumption of work with nonunion men and such strikers as were willing to return to their places. The resumption at Demmler was instanced as the first move In the general plan of the steel corporation to proceed in its operations irrespective of the Amalgamated Association. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, said to-day that the work of the conciliation committee had come to an end. Asked whether the board would again act in the capacity of peacemaker, Mr. Gompers replied: "If called upon again we will be glad to act. Personally I will always be glad to use mv ; best efforts for industrial peace in the In terests of the laboring man. As a laboring man myself, as president of the American Federation of Labor, as a member of the conciliation board of the National Civic Federation, and as a man I certainly will do all in my power to bring about peace between the workingman and his employer." Mr. Gompers said President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, had gone into the hard-coal region of Pennsylvania in connection with the work of his own organization, devoting particular attention to Hazleton. Mr. Gompers said he would stay in New York to-day and tomorrow, but how much longer he could not say. ASKRI) AXOTlli:it cox fkh i:ck. Shaffer In Said to Have Appealed to President Schvrah. NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-The World in an article on tho steel strike to appear tomorrow (Saturday) morning will say that there Ir, strong hope for a settlement of the strike. It ad. Is: "The hope for a favorable outcome was increase 1 when, early this afternoon. President Schwab received a tele-

phone call from Mr. Shaffer, who said that lie desired to speak with him personally. The details of what passed between the two could not be learned, but it was reported that Mr. Shaffer had asked for another conference between the steel trust otiicers and the Amalgamated board and that the board would come here, to-day for this purpose. Immediately after Mr. Shaffer's telephone call, Mr. Schwab went to Mr. Morgan's office and remained closeted with him for some time. The nature of the news he carried seemed to be highly satisfactory to both him and Mr. Morgan." IXIOX AGRXTS srnn.

Heavy Damage Claimed for Injury to Plaintiffs Halneft. CHICAGO. Sept. 6. Bills were filed here to-day in the Superior Court and the United States Circuit Court against A. E. Ireland, business agent of the Machinists' Union, and John Beaton and J. J. Kepler, strike committee of the Machinists' Union, to recover JIO.OOO damages for malicious combination to Interfere with the business of Robert Tarrant and the Aliis-Chalmers Company.

The church was well filled with fashionable people and the wedding was a picturesque ceremony. Four bridesmaids wore picture hats of black straw with long ostrich feathers. The bride's train was carried by two little girls, and Captain Ames's companions in the Life Guards lined up on either side. LATE COLOMBIAN PHASES Discission II Y STATE DEI'AHTMKXT AXD COL03IIHAX CHARGE. Questions of the Limitation of Amerienn Guaranty Considered SpeedyAction la Demanded. WASHINGTON. Spt. 6. -The Colombian charge d'affaires, Mr. Thomas Herran, called at the Stae Department to-day and had an extended conference with acting Secretary Adee concerning the latest phases of trouble at and about the Isthmus of Panama, and particularly the official dispatches from Colombia stating that Ecuador had cast her lot against Colombia. Mr. Herran presented the two dispatches received yesterday, one fro'm Call, near the Ecuadorian frontier, and the other from Panama. Secretary Adee and Mr. Herran went over the situation on the Pacific and Atlantic sides and discussed the steps which should be taken. Oil the part of the United States the presence of tho Iowa and Ranger at Panama will give a large available force. Colombia also has some small craft at Panama, at.d it is expected that as a result of the new developments these will be moved south toward the Ecuadorian border. On the Atlantic side Rocas del Toro continues to be a critical point, and the Navy Department is preparing to have a vessel there on short notice. : Owing to the increasing complications along the Isthmus of Panama it has become desirable to determine the exact duties and responsibilities of the United States. This has presented the issue whether our treaty with Colombia makes i the United States a guarantor or Colombia's sovereignty over the entire isthmus, some four hundred miles flrom end to end. or confines our guaranty to free transit across that particular point on the isthmus where railway and other traffic is usually carried on. The distinction is an important one as determining the extent of territory covered by the guarantee of our treaty and whether warships are likely to go to points outside of Pai,ama and Colon, the termini of the usual route. Another question which has grown out of the trouble is as to whether the existing conflict is to be construed as a civil uprising or a foreign Invasion. The extent of American action will depend a good deal upon the determination of this issue. If it is merely a civil conflict the action of the United States probably vill be confined to keeping open traffic across the isthmus. IJut if there is a foreign invasion from Ecuador, Venezuela or elsewhere it maybecome necessary to uphold our treaty guarantee of Colombia's sovereignty of the isthmus. Speedy Action Demanded. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. The Evening Post says: "Local merchants, whose business has been affected bj the depredations of the guerrilla br.nds operating along the Isthmus of Panama, suggest hat it Is about time the United States landed troops, under the terms of the treaty with Colombia, to put a stop to the disturbances, which are injuring trade and threatening American property. They also declare that the shutting off of military supplies to the insurgents, which are being shipped from this port, would do much toward ending the existing trouble. Ship captains who, during the last few weeks, have visited ports in Venezuela, say that large supplies of arms from Relgium and Germany are being landed in that country." i ALL VENKZIKLA AFLAME.

The Navy Department received a letter from Admiral Schley to-day containing a list of witnesses he desires to have brought here at once, and adding a request that they be summoned. Acting Secretary Hackett has oxpressed a willingness to have the witnesses brought here at once. Efforts will be made to arrange technical details so that they may get here. promptly. Rear Admiral Barker, who was a member of the war board during the SpanishAmerican war, arrived here to-day. He is one of the witnesses on Admiral Schley's list, which leads to the belief that the evidence may go into all of the antecedent circumstances before the war board when the West Indian campaign was planned. Admiral Schley and his counsel to-day began ' holding sessions with the witnesses they will call. Those heard to-day were Admirals Watson and Barker. The sittings were private and the character of the evidence was not disclosed. Admiral Watson was at Guantanamo on the day of the battle off Santiago. Judge Advocate General Lemly has decided, so far as the civilian witnesses whoso names appear on the list are concerned, that he has no power under the law to summon them in advance of the meeting of the court, that body alone being competent to Issue a formal summons having legal force. Captain Lemly to-day issued "notices" to each of the civilians named, requesting them to be present in Washington at the opening day of the court, next Thursday. The name of Nunez, the pilot, is on Admiral Schley's list. He was put aboard the Brooklyn by Captain Sigsbee to serve as a pilot, and he it was who reported to Admiral Schley that it was Impossible for the Spanish squadron to enter Santiago harbor without tugs on account of the crookedness of the channel.

These places are situated about 100 miles northeast of Salonlca, In a country long familiar to the missionaries of the American board. Miss Ellen Stone is one of the tried missionaries of the board, having been in this mission since 1S7S. It has been a part of her duty to tour among the people with a Bible woman ns attendant. Miss Stone was born in Roxbury, and her home is in Chelsea, where her mother resides. Four of her brothers are in business in this city. A missionary now in Boston from Bulgaria is confident that no ill treatment will be given these ladles, but thinks it simply a case in which ransom Is sought for by robbers. The Sultan Acts Quietly. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 6.-The Sultan immediately on hearing of the abduction of Miss Stone and her companion peremptorily ordered the Vali of Salonica to secure their release and to exercise every care for their comfort and safety. .

POLITICAL CLUB CRUSHED. It Tried to Room Hanun for President and Was "Sat nun On." CLEVELAND. Sept. 6-Harsh treatment from its idol wrecked the Forty-first Ward M. A. Hanna Club to-night and it is no more. Perhaps the thousands of original McKinley men he has encountered eau.-ed Senator Hanna to recoil from the possibility of equally numerous original Hanna. clubs. He killed the tirst one. Last week the Republicans of bis ward organized the M. A. Hanna Club with the avowed object of booming the senator's presidential boom. The committee that was sent to formally inform the senator of the club's existence and Its object reported to-night. It was a sad report. The senator had used strong language, the committee said through its chairman, Martin Doran. in telling them in almost so many words that the club was a fool, that he had no presidential boom and wanted none, and that he would not admit to being boomed by the club for President. He displayed much warmth, the committee reported, in disclaiming the club and its object, and ended by telling the committee to take his name from the club's books and not to come to see him any more as Hanna presidential boomers. The club received the report of the committee in silence that was broken by a member moving that the name of the club be changed to the James A. Garfield Club, which was done without a dissenting vote. DULL WEEK IN TRADE SIIORT WREIC AXD LAHOR COXDITIOXS HAMPER BUSINESS.

Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade to-morrow will say: A holiday reduced the volume of legitimate business, while speculative operations were seriously curtailed by the general closing of exchanges from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning. In the movement of merchandise and in many manufacturing lines there have been efforts to make up the loss by working over time, but the week's record will fall behind those immediately preceding. Actual sales of many iron and steel products are recorded at material advances and the tone throughout Is hardened by vigorous demand. Placing of sample orders for spring footwear is of such character as to Indicate a healthy market, and some jobbers are so anxious for early delivery that contracts are being closed now. Despite more activity In the market for cotton goods and placing of government contracts the staple shows no great strength. Although unsettled in tone little alteralon occurred In the principal cereals. Trading was restricted and there was an apparent disinclination to assume an egressive stand on either side of the market. Commercial failures during the month of August were S03 in number and $3,4.S.SC6 in amount of liabilities. Compared with the same month last year, thg statement is most unsatisfactory, as failures were then only 735 in number and J7.323.y03 In amount. MURK OPTIMISTIC. Ilradslreet Takes a Jlore Cheerful View of the Situation. NEW YORK, Sept. ß.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: "Trade advices are. as a rule, very good. Fall demand, now in full swing at the East, West and Northwest, compares well with last year and business continues to expand at the South. Specially marked features are the reports of a large seasonable distribution, heavy shipments and improved collections from leading Western centers. All measures of trade demand point to the maintenance of general business on a scale not heretofore equaled for this time of year, while failures, though more numerous than last year, are less hurtful than one or two months ago, and especially reflect only the normal friction inseparable from the conduct of business in a large volume. "Industrial disturbances are not cutting the figure they did earlier. The steel strike Is gradually nearlng its end, despite efforts to keep the trouble open. In the meanwhile demand steadily grows and premiums for quick delivery of affected products mount up. Much of the business usually offering has been merely postponed and great activity awaits the reopening mills. Pig iron Is in better demand at nearly all markets and foundry and forge iron are in larger demand, even at Pittsburg. Additional sales of rails for next year are reported, and the business already booked In this and other lines assures- activity throughout the winter. Jobbers' stocks of finished goods are badly broken. "Two months of the cereal year have passed, and, despite the pressure of receipts from the largest wheat crop ever produced In the United States and Canada, primary receipts are 15 per cent, larger than a year ago.
