MAKING NO FIGHT FOR NOMINATION Regarded by His Friends as a Good Cark Horse. ——S WHERE HIS STRENGTH LIES Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BURLINGTON, Iowa, September 25, 1895. It is possible that of all the candidates who have been prominently menticned for the presidency none will te ‘less disap- pointed than Senetor William B. Allison if he should rot be successful. With a long and honorable career in the Senate, the ideal statesman of the commonwealth he represents, the senior Senator from Iowa would not be sorely disappointed if he should net be named for President by the next republican convention. It cannot be said that he is indifferent or that he would not like the nomination, but it is not so al- luring to him as to rany another that has stood 11 storm and gazed upon lightning flashes and heard the thunders from the presidential clouds. This may be explained by the fact that Senator Allison is very well fixed now, and with every prospect of serving his state longer than another man rot only, but of breaking the records for long ard continuous service in the United States Senate. Besides, he is so well equipped for sena- torial duty, and is so well placed upon com- mittees, that he is one of the most power- ful Senators in the body, and this power cannot be taken from him. That he would give it up with reluctance there is no ques- tion, and nothing but the presidency would entice him from it. His admirers in this state, and, in fact, republicans from many other sections, will make every effort to take him from the Senate and elevate him to the pres‘dency. Regarded as Harrison’s Rival. One of the curious features of the pre- Uminary campaign in the west is the fact that Allison is regarded as the rival of ex- President Herrison, and the man more than all others who will prevent the nomi- nation of the ex-President. It is possible that this has been felt by the friends of Mr. Harrison, who have been quietly fight- ing the Allison bcom more than they have the cundidacy of either Reed or McKinley. It is the general impression in the west that neither Reec nor McKinley will be able to secure the nomination. There are many reasons for this idea, the principal being that Reed fs too far east, and that McKinley is still handicapped by the tariff measure which hore his name. Further than this fs the belief that these men in the early stages of the convention will be the chief rivals, and that after a few bal- lcts it will be seen that neither can be vamed. Then the convention will look about for a safe man who will be sure to lead the party to victory. Here is where the hope of the Allison men reaches its highest point. The friends of the Iowa statesman say that the big leaders controlling large delegations, and who are bitterly opposed to Harrison, will become alarmed at the growing strength of the ex-President, which will be aug- mented from the stragglers in different delegations, and by throwing the weight of their large following for some other west- ern candidate, will nominate him. Anti who should that other western candidate be but Allison? It is certainly a very pretty pic- ture, although drawn far in advance of the convention. Allison’s Friends in the South. Reports have been received from various western and southern states to the effect that Senator Allison will have a very good following in those sections. It {s possible that the neighboring states may furnish many delegates who will prefer Allison to any other candidate, and it is certain that they will send delegates who will go to him with a muca greater relish than to Harrison, and would, in fact, break from their first choice should ft be Reed or McKinley, if such action was necessary to prevent the nomination of Harrison. So far as Iowa ts concerned, she will have no second choice. Allison will have the sup- port of his home state as long as, and, in fact, after, there Is no hope of his nomina- tion. The delegation will be for the Senator from first to last, and there will be no trad- ing material in it. Towa 1s in earnest, because she believes the opportunity is now ripe to secure the presi- dency. It is also the last chance for Allison. If he should not be nominated next year he may well put away any presidential aspira- tions he kas ever had. How Ilinois Stands. Speaking of the hope which Iowa has of neighborly help, it is rather interesting to hear the talk about the position of Illinois. Ilinots will scarcely have a candidate, with any hope of nominating him. Senator Cul- lom may have hopes, but they are of the fleeting kind. Harrison bas friends in Illi- nofs, but they will not be such stanch sup- porters as he had in 1892. On the contrary, the AUison men claim that Illinois is almost sure to send a delegation which will be for him. This claim is not made with a view of having the delegation from the start, but that in the beginning, it is said, Allison will divide the delegation, and after a few bal- lots -he is likely to get nearly all. This is based upon the kindly expressions that are heard from the republicans across the river. Besides Illinois the Allison men expect to draw quite largely from Missouri on the south and Kansas and Nebraska on the west. The Dakotas have been quite largely peopled with emigrants from Towa, and it is claimed that the old associations will result in having delegations friendly to Allison from these and other small western states.

Without disparaging other men they say that Reed® has been too radical as Speaker, and, being from the east, he is tco radical on the money question.

To avoid all these extremes a man who is a sound republican, but who is a care- AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Lively Triangular Row Oreated Oonsider- able Excitement. ful and conservative citizen at the same | Young Prisoners Caught in a Criminal time, should be chosen. It is claimed that the Iowa candidate meets all these requirements. While he is sound on the money question, he cannot be called a radical gold man. While a pro- tectionist, he is from a western state and Mves-in a community that demands mod- eration in the tariff. Besides his con- servatism, it is claimed that his long-serv- ice, first In the House and afterward in the Senate, has fitted him admirably for the presidency. Allison has been blamed for this same conservatism by men in his own party. Many amusing stories are told of the smooth manner in which he has got around com- mitting himself to any definite line where it was possible for a man to balance grace- fully on the fence. Frank Hatton, who once made this city his home, referred to Allison as “the celebrated rubber-tire statesman of Iowa.” He meant that he got around so easily and with such little noise, and at the same time so swiftly, that his enemies were never able to defeat or catch him. ‘The popularity of Senator Allison in’ this state may be accounted for by reascn of the fact that he has ever been careful in looking out for the interests of every sec- tion and attending with scrupulous care to all the requests that have been made upon him. More than this, his prominence in national affairs has been a source of pride to the state. Tae people of Iowa are fitly represented by a conservative man, They are a pros- Pperous, well-to-do people who are injured only by extremes in hard times or in changes of national policies. They are for stability and conservative progress, op- posed to legislation which will jog them out of the even tenor of their way. His Personal Tastes. Senator Allison is a resident of Dubuque. He is a lawyer, but has been so long in public life that he has given little atten- tion to the practice of his profession. He is a student of political economy and a reader of all that is best in the deeper literature of the day. He is a native of Ohio, but has resided in Iowa since 1857. He is sixty-six years old, but does not look it, being one of the vigorous and healthy men of the Senate. There are several men in the presidential race_to be run next year who are older than Senator Allison, and quite a number who are younger, who, according to appearances, cannot hope to survive him. Is !806 to be a Hawkeye year? That is what everybody is expecting in this state. A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is? It is a continued story of which all but the iast chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment is printed.

There was a lively row Saturday night near 12 o'clock, in front of Schladt’s sa- lvon, on 32d street, The principals were three in number—James Groves, his wife and mother-in-law. Groves, like some hus- bands, has always looked at his wife's mother with antagonistic eyes. The two have not smiled upon each othér real lov- ingly for years. On the contrary, they bristled almost at every meeting. Saturday, it seems Groves discovered that his wife was in Schladt’s drinking, and he waited on the outside for her appearance. When she came forth her mother was with her. The husband delivered a wordy rep- rimand, and the mother-in-law took it up. She “qbipped in” with a freedom that so annoyed the husband that he hauled off and smacked her jaws. The blow was a “stinger,” and riled the mother-in-law to the boiling-over point. Then was inaugur- ated a fight. The older woman scrapped with an experienced hand, but the daughter saw fit to join her side, All the time the three were moving up the street. Smacks, blows and epithets vibrated the air during the whole of the triaggular disturbance. When N street was reached, and just as things were culminating into what appear- ed would prove a catch-as-catch-can tussle, Officer Sullivan took the crowd in. The mother-in-law, however, was allowed to go tree on a preliminary investigation, but the husband and wife were required to put up $10 collateral each before their release was effected. Friends secured the “necessary.” Young Prisoners. Daniel Linskey, nineteen years old,.giho was arrested by Officer Bradley Friday night in company with Bertha Wysorg, has been held for the grand jury, it having been as- certained that the girl is but fifteen years of age. The charge against the boy is having had carnal knowledge of a girl under age. ‘The girl at first gave her age as eighteen, but the family Bible records contradicted her> Officer Bradley caught the two in a public alley on N street between 30th and ist streets. Funeral of B. F. King. The funeral of Mr. B, F. King took place yesterday from the Tenleytown Baptist Church, in the presence of a large number of friends of the deceased. It is said to have been the most fully attended funeral that has been held within the Tenleytown bound- aries for years. Deceased was a deacon of the Baptist Church and had been superin- tendent of the Sunday school for twelve years. The pastor, Rey, Mr, McCullough, spoke very feelingly of the dead, his pure life and good works. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. In Mr. King’s death the church loses a very valuable mem- ber and the community an exemplary cit- izen. Notes, Officer McCabe, who has been ill for several months, is reported to have taken a decided turn for the worse.

UNIVERSITY DIRECTORS 10 MEET Addresses to Be Made in Latin and in English. THE, EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS The present week will be one long to be remembered in the Catholic Church of this city. Meetings of considerable importance te the church at large are to be held at the Catholic University, chief among which ig the congress of the Eucharistic League. The program of the congress and the pa- pers to be read have already been published in The Star. But most important of all to the Catholic Church will be the dedication of the Mc- Mahon Hall of Philosophy and the inaugu- ration of the faculties of philosophy and social sciences. This interesting and im- pressive ceremony will occur tomorrow af- ternoon at 3 o’clock. In the opening of the new school the resources of the univer- sity for good work will be immensely in- creased. The building is a magnificent one and so admirably adapted for its purposes that it is doubtful if there is on this con- tinent or in the old world an edifice de- voted to education which surpasses it. The building is practically completed, al- though the workmen have not yet left, and there are a few final touches to be put on before everything will be in readiness for the work of the scholastic year. The building has been handsomely decorated for the occasion, and there is everywhere noticeable a profusion of American flag: with here and there some draperies of y low and white, the pontifical colors. Ail is bustle and activity about the building and grounds in preparation for the reception and entertainment of the great number of prominent churchmen who are expected in Wash.ngton to participate in the opening of the new school and in the deliberations of hte Eucharistic congress. Board of Directors. During the week there will be held the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Catholic University, the annual meeting of the archbishops of the United States, the meeting for the organization of the alumni association of the Catholic University, and the annual meeting of the alumni of the University of Louvain, Bel- gium. But all these will he overshadowed in importance by the Eucharistic congress, eed convenes on Wednesday and Thurs- ay. The services of the week will commence with the annual meeting of the board of directors of the university at Divinity Hail, on the morning of October 1. At noon there will be a lunch served to the visiting clergy in the McMahon Hall. At 3 o’clock the exercises of dedicaton will take place in the assembly hall of the new building, Cardinal Gibbons, as chancellor of the university, presiding, and on the plat- form will be seated Archbishop Satolli, the papal ablegate; Archbishops Corrigan of New York, Williams of Boston, Ryan of Philadelphia, Ireland of St. Paul, together with many other distinguished representa- tives of the Catholic Church. Cardinal Gib- bens and the faculty of the university will assemble in one of the halls of the university building. There his eminence will vest and begin at once the blessing of the Hall of Philosophy,using the form prescribed in the Catholic ritual for the blessing of schools. They will then repair to the stage of Assem- bly Hall, where the invited guests will by this time have gathered. Owing to the very limited space, admission to the assembly room cai be given only to the directors and faculties of the university, visiting prelates, heads or representatives of educational in- stitutions and specially invited guests. Exercises in the Hall. The exercises in the hall will commence with a reading in Latin and English of the letter of Pcpe Leo XIII, sent through Cardinal Gibbons, in reference to the open- Ing of the new schools by Bishop Keane. Monsignor Satolli, the apostolic. delegate, will deliver an oration in Latin on the sub- ject of the School of Philosophy and its faculty, after which Rev. Dr. Pace, dean of the faculty, will speak upon the rela- tions of philosophy to the physical and bio- logical sciences, which will be connected with it in McMahon Hall. The dean of the School of Social Sciences, Prof. W. G. Robinson, will follow with a discourse upon the relations of law, politics, economics and sociology to ethics and re- ligion, and will describe what the Catholic University aims at accomplishing in bring- ing about an intimacy between the various branches of study and research into ques- tions which affect the social welfare. The exercises will be closed with an ad- dress by Cardinal Gibbons in his cap.city as chancellor of the university. The mem- bers of Carroll Institute will act as a guard of honor and as ushers. Wednesday morn- Ing at 9 o'clock the professors of the va- rious courses will be in their rooms at Mc- Mahon Hall to receive candidates for ad- mission as students. All applicants must first apply to the vice rector, and designate what courses they desire to pursue. They will then be directed to the several pro- fessors, who will examine them and decide upon their fitness to follow the course se- lected. Upon the professors’ report being returned to the vice rector the status of the students will be fixed. Thursday morning the students will assemble in assembly hall | and, after an address by Bishop Keane, will take up their duties for the year in th several classés. The Eucharistic Congress. The Eucharistic congress will open Wed- nesday morning at 9:30 o'clock in St. Pat- rick's Church. Mgr. Satolli will celebrafe solemn pontifical mass and Rt. Rey. Bishop Keane will deliver the sermon. The even- ing before the formal opening of the con- gress the reception committee, of which Rev. Father Mackin is chairman, will be in attendance at the Arno to enroll the names of the reverend gentiemen attending the congress. The diocesan directors of the Priests’ Eucharistic League will meet under the chairmanship of the general director, Rev. Father Bede, O. S.

It is not, strictly speaking, an order, for it has no mon- asteries, no places of fixed abode, and its members are.not bound together by ties similar to those which characterize the different orders of the Catholic Church. It is an organization among the priests tend- {ng to lead them into cleser relation with and more fervent adoration of the holy Eucharist. Rev. Father Mackin of St. Paul's, 15th street, is the chairman of the reception committee, which will look after the vis- iters as they arrive in Washington. The other members of the committee are Rey. S. T. Ryan of the Church of the Immacu- late Conception and Rev. John Gloyd of St. Patrick’s. They will meet the delegates at the Arno tomcrrow afternoon. Clergymen to Be Present.

A Phevomenal Tidal Wave Strikes the Seuthern Shore of Lake Superior. From the Chicago Daily Tribune. Water rose fcur feet above high-water mark all along the southern shore of Lake Superior yesterday, doing considerable dam- age and rendering some of the beach wagon roads impassable. It came quickly, like a tidal wave, and caught several teams and drivers along the Chequamegon bay beach road, and it was with difficulty that the teams reached higher ground. The current was so strong that telephone poles were pulled from their places four feet in the earth. Logging booms were broken and logs floated far up on the ground. ~ At Washburn the C., St. P., M. and O. rail- read elevator sustained considerable dam- age. Water flowed into the wheat pit and ae entered the furnace, putting out the res. ‘The water receded nearly as quickly as it came up, falling to the usual level again in about an hour. The cause of the phenome- ron is still a question of conjecture. N. E. Searles, one of those caught with a team by the wave, sax “The bay was perfectly calm. It had been raining during the greater part of the day. ‘The wind was in the cast, just a moderate breeze. We were driving along the turnpike known as the Ashland-Washburn road, when one of the men said: ‘See that wall of water.” “Out in the bay we saw a big wall of water extending right across the bay approaching. It looked like a dam that had broken. We stopped the team and watched it until it reached the shore. Before we could antici- pate, the whole road was lifted up. It was a corduroy turnpike, and the water rushed right over. The next thing we knew the water was up into our wagon box and our horses were down. We got out, and for two hours we had a hard struggle to save our horses from drewning. A good share of the time the water was up to our armpits. In about an hour the water had subsided a couple of fcet and we were able to get out.”” At Ashland and Washburn the flood was noticeable. Water came clear into the fire holes at the Keystone Lumber Company’s mill. While tides are not unusual in Che- quamegon bay, in fact, there are two tides of from six to tweive inches per day, such a heignt of water has never been known at any previous time. A Resemblance. Fiom the Boston Herald. They were speaking between the acts at the theater the other night, and one said to the other: “I never saw two women look more like cach other. Really I have fre- quently taken your sister for you.” To which the other replied: “I have often had a similar remark made to me, but at home they always thought that my sister resembled me more than I did her.” And the hand played on.
