New Yonrk, Aug. 11—At a meeting of the executive committee of the national associa- tion of democratic clubs, it was decided to nold the next national convention six days atter the national democratic convention. Chairman Wilson gave an account of his tour to the far northwest. He stated that the direct result of the estubhishment of clubs in Utah was the election of the demo- cratic ticket and the almost entire absorption of the Mormon vote. The finest and most completo organization in any state was in the new state of Vashington. Indeed, 1t is in the northwost tho work of proselyting would be most actively carried on through means of club organization, It has been decided to organize a mission- ary itinerancy composed of fitteen of the leading democratic orators connected with the national association. The sparty will leave the city of Washington on September 12. They will make a complete circuit ot the northwest, stopping ono day at Chicago, From there they will go direct to Heleoa, Mont., and there organize a league of demo: cratic’ societies for that state. Thoy will reach Spokane Ialls in timo for the state convention of clubs.

GEOGRAPHICAL CONGRESS IN SESSION, More News of Chilian Revolution Balmucedian Sources—World's Fair Commissioners Wel- comed in Viénna. Orrawa, On.t, Aug. 11.—At the beginning of the prosent session of parliamont Mr. Tart, editor of tho French-Canadian paper Le Canadian, charged in the house of com- nons that Hon. Thomas Mc(iresyy, member for Quebec west, had sold his influence with Sir Hector Langevin, minister of public works for the purpose of obtaining large con- tracts on the graving docks at Quebec, also at Esquimault, for the firm of Conuelly, Larkin & Co, of which firm Me- Groeyy's: brother was a member. The matter was referred to the committes and privileges and elections which have boea taking evidence under oath for two months. The principal witnesses have been Owen Bugene Murphy, once notorious in New York as tho defaulting treasurer of the ox- cise board, and Robert McGreevy, whoso quarrel with his brother led to the revela- tions. The ovidence has gone along way toward proving the chargos against Thomas McGreevy, but Sir Hector Langovin has been implicated only indirectly. Today Sir Hector took the stand aud after having announced bis resignation as minister of the crown, mado a geuoral doaial of the charges against him. Sir Heetor Langevin's sudden dstermina- tion to resign has caused a big sensation here. His step was completoly unexpected. [t is said thav Hon, Thomas McGreovy would also resign. The rosignation of Sir Heetor has proved to be a veritavle bombsheil in political circles. It was totally unexpectod at this stage of the proccedings and is the avsorbing topic of conversation here, At the meeting of the committes on logos and eloctions today, Siv Hector read o long paver in defense of himself. Ho smd he would prove it with the statement that he had resigned in justice 1o his collogeates in parliament and on the committee. His state- ment was very voluminous. Ho denied em- phatically the tru'h of all the charges against privi- nim and asserted his ionocence in the most positive manner, It was absolutely untruo, he dcelared, that he had ever received $10,000 from Owen N Murphy: likewise had 0o rolations whatever with, Murphy. He was not aware that his son, Laferin Langeville, had received a ceut cithie, directly or indirectly. He contendea that his work was perfectly honorable, and that there had been no wanipulation of pub- lic contracts.
