2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDA‘Y, OCTOBER 15, 1895. . DEBATE ON REVISION. Attempt to Lay Over the Matter for Three Years. NO NEW CONSTITUTION. Houses of the Episcopalian Convention Are Not Yet Agreed. NEW COMMISSION SUGGESTED Dr. Fulton Sald That No Action of the Deputles Was Discour- teous to Bishops. MiINNEAPOLIS, Mixy,, Oct. 14,—After securing the adoption of a resolution pro- viding for final adjournment on Tuesday of next week the opposition to revision in the house of deputies of the Episcopal Convention made a strenuous effort to- to lay over the new constitution and can- ons for three years, or until the triennial convention at Washington. Debate upon proposal, which occupied the éntire afternoon session, and was unfinished at adjournment, was precipitated by two propositions, one referring back the revi- gion to the joint committee that brought it into existence for further consideration and amendment, and the other referring the Bishop's revision of the eommission’s re- vision to a special coumittee, with instrue- tions to report at the next conference. Of the score or more of speakers not a voice was raised in favor of proceeding fur- ther with the revision at this convention, the one prevailing sentiment being the desire to so shelve the matter as to avoid giving offense to the Bishops, who have been industriously laboring upon their own rewision for nearly two weeks, and bave looked for prompt action on the part of the house below as each section was sent down. The deputies may find a way out of the dilemma to-morrow by adopting both resolutions, which will mean two re- ports for the conference of 1896, and will put off a final vote to the triennial of 1901. The only important feature of the morn- ing session was the effort to reintroduce the titles of “Primate” or ‘*‘Presiding Bishop” into the constitution. The house was as firm on this point, however, as it was & week ago, and reaffirmed the desig- nation “Presiding Officer of the House of ops.” Another effort to give the dele- gates from missionary jurisdictions the right to vote was also defeated, although the clause, as finally passed, confers upon them all other rights and privileges enjoyed by regular delegates. Just before adjourn- ing this afternoon the Bishors agreed to create a new missionary jurisdiction in Northern Minnesota, to be presided over by & Bishop of Duluth. ‘When the house reassembled this after- noon Dr. J. T. 8mith of the Presbyterian Committee on Church Unity was, at the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York, invited to a seat on the platform beside President Morgan Dix. Considera- tion of the constitution being resumed, the first two articles, as amended, were finally passed and sent back to the House of Bishops. Next in order was Article 8, which declares that the general convention be the supreme legislative authority of the church, and which also specifies at length the general and special subjects upon which it shall have power to lemislate. Just as soon as as the reading had been ¢oncluded Mr. Packard of Maryland moved that thisand all succeeding mes- sages from the Bishops concerning the constitution be referred to a special com- mittee with instructions to report at the next convention, but to have its report printed and circulated three months in advance of the assembling of the conven: tion. In support of his motion he said that in the week remaining it would be impossible to deal with the many ques- tions of grave import that were presented in that portion of the constitution not yet considered. Dr. Greer of New York coincided. As an amendment Dr. Davenport of Tennes- see moved that the whole subject of re- vision be returned to the joint committee with instructions to report at the next con- vention. A lengthy debate followed. Dr. Richards of Rhode Island suggested that there were times when questions of courtesy might be brushed out of place. ‘The proper thing to do was to discharge the com- mittee from its labors and then refer the entire issue to a special committee. For the first time in the debate a mem- ber of the committee in the person of Rev. Dr. James 8. Stone of Chicago claimed the floor. He repudiated with emphasis the prevailing notion that the committee had been under Episcopal influence. It had, he said, labored honestly, and it had given time and energy to the task; 1t had missed no opportunity to perfect its work. If that work was now to be sent back it ought to go to the committee which had larger knowledge than any new committee and which could do its duty. Dr. Fulton® of Philadelphia contended that no action taken by the house could be construed as discourteous by the Bishops. They had come to a time when the Prot- estant Episcopal Church shall be and must remain in full sympathy with the institu- tions of the people among which it is called to labor—the' people of the United Btates. He favored reference to a spe- cial committee, and Dr. McViecar was also in accord. Dean Hoffman of New York, the spokesman of the committee, was not opposed to the special reference in view of the trend of the de- bate, but he had hoped, and still hoped, that the house, before final adjournment, would give some time and attention to the provincial system of the church. He gave notice that he would present this subject in the form of a resolution to-morrow, and then the house adjourned. Bishop Davies of Michigan has issued a call for a convention at Marquette on No- vember 14, to organize the newly created diocese in Northern Michigan. The con- vention will choose the name “Marquette’” for the diocese. The physician in attendance on ex-Goy- ernor Bullock of Georgia said thisevening: “His improvement for the past twenty- four hours has been steady and the indica- tions to-night are very favorable. I look for fomplew Tecovery by the end of the week.” Bishop Potter of New York was kept busy to-day denying the story of his irl- ness which was circulated among thedele- gates yesterday and published in the local papers. el Shn COLOSE OF THE COUNCIL. Topics of Importance Acted Upon by the Congregationalists. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Oct. 14.—The clos- ing session of the triennial council of the £ Congregational Charch was held here to- to-day. Resolutions denouncing the out- rages on citizens and missionaries in for- eign countries were adopted. A committee of five on the lynching evil was appointed. The report of the committee on marriage and divorce was taken up. The report was presented by F. A. Noble of Illinois. It recommended that the committee be contined under Phe name of the com- mittee on family. Rev. Charles Caverno of Colorado moved as a substitute to the recommendation that they be instructed to inguire into the scripture grounds for divorce and continue under the same name. The substitute was carried. . The report of the committee on Sabbath observance was read by Rev. Linneus Blakeslee of Topeka, Kans. All was adopted except that part of the Jast clause of the resolutions which rejoiced that one of the political parties of the State had de- clared itself in favor of existing laws. The committee on lynching thereupon made its report. It deplored the preva- lence of that custom. At the evening session Francis Clark de- livered an address on ‘‘The Youngest Member of the Church Family.” After Mr. Clark’s address Washington Gladden made the report of the committee on capi- tal and labor. A resolution was then adopted thanking the pastor of Plymouth Church and the people of Syracuse for their hospitality. On motion the council was adjourned sine die. e r—— e STORMS ON THE SEABCARD Great Has Been the Damage on Land and Out on the Ocean. It Is Feared That the Loss Among the Atlantic Fishing Fleet Will Be Heavy. BOSTON, Mass,, Oct. 14.—A terrible storm has been raging along the entire northeastern Atlantic Coast during the past week, and, for the first time, to-day shows some signs of abating. The damage on land has been very great, reports from all over the country showing that the heavy rain and the hurricane have destroyed many thousands of dollars worth of prop- erty. It is feared that tbe loss among the ship- ping fleet will be very great. At this time of the year nearly all the fishing Heet is at sea, as the regular fall hurricanes do not come until next month, and as a conse- quence nearly all will be caught unpre- pared. What few vessels that have got into’port tell of terrible weather and of vessels which have been seen foundering or discovered deserted on the high seas. The steamer Catalonia, which arrivad to- day, reports having rescued the crews of over half = dozen vesscls, while her whole passage from the end of Cape Race to her destination was marked with signs of ter- rible wreckage. The rescued craws all bring in similar tales of disaster, and it is feared that their accounts are not overestimated. FARAT T NOT FOR A THIRD PARTY. Stand of the A. P. A. in the Politics of the Nation. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 14.—The National conference of the American Protective Association met here at noon to-day. All of the supreme officers and most of the State presidents were in attendance, and the hall was packed. The object of the meeting is to organize the National Advis- ory Board, which was appointed last year at the Milwaukee meeting of the Supreme Council, and to outline a plan of action with regard to the next National cam- peign. After the conference was called to order by President W. J. H. Traynor of Detroit, Mich., Mayor Walbridge was in- troduced ana made a welcoming address. Other addresses followed and the confer- ence became executive. At the afternoon session the work of the credentials committee was ratified, and a resolution passed congratulating the mem- bers in Nashville, Tenn., upon their re- cent victory., Speaking of a proposed Na- tional political movement President Tray- nor said: ‘It is not our intention to form & third party or independent movement. All we want is recognition from the Na- tional political }\L\nics. The party that recognizes us will get our support and the one that ignores us will not. The ad- visory board, when organized, will event- ually appoint a committee to present our principles to each party and demand rec- ognition. Ours 18 & reFresentn[i\‘e body, composed of all nationalities. Nationality or creed is no bar to membership. Our or- ganization is working more openly now than ever before,and if I had my way about it all our sessions woula be public. ‘We have nothing to hide.” H. F. Bowers of Clinton, Ia., founder of the order, had this to say: ‘‘An ex-priest or ex-nun invariably makes it a point to attack the Catholic religion, and that is not the purpose of our organization. Everybody has a right to worship Al- mighty God according to the dictates of his own conscience. We have no right to object to the Catholic religion as a reli- gion. That would be inhuman and cruel. What we do object to, and it applies to all denominations, is the mixture of the church and politics. We hold that a man owes first allegiance to his adopted coun- try, and not to some foreign church au- thority.” Sl i, FIVE IN THREE HOURS. And AW the Babes Are Boys, Who Will Zive. TOLEDO, Onro, Oct. 14.—A special from Delta, Ohlo, says: Mrs. Joseph Langdon, the wife of a farmer living near here, gave birth to-day, within a space of three hours, to five children, all of them males. News of the unique event reached here this evening. The five children are apparently fully developed, though frail speci- mens of humanity, and the attendant phy- sician believes that they will all live. E{ra. Langdon has experienced no serious re- sults from the extraordinary accouche- ment. She is past 35 years and has three other children. She weighs 140 pounds and her husband 165. s P, Fatal Wreck on a Railroad. BRADFORD, Pa., Oct, 15.—A wreck oc- curred on the Buffalo division oi the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad at Eldred, Pa., at 1 o’clock this morning.. As anorthbound freight train was passing a switch the locomotive left the rails, followed by eleven loaded cars. Fireman Jesse Baxter of Buffalo was caught under the engine and crushed to death, Engineer Brockway and Brakeman Hs‘fmire were caught under the wreckage and seriously injured. G e Professor Phillips Expired. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 14.—Professor Alexander Phillips of the Pittsburg Acad- emy, who was injured in last night’s street- car accident on the West End line, died to- night at the Homeopathic Hospital. Pro. fessor Phillips had a leg ampntated and he died from loss of blood. This makes the number of deaths five. St Miners Ready to Strike. DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 14.—At a meeting here this afterncon 125 miners declared for & raise of 10 cents per ton on all coal mined within this district, the in- crease to take effect Wednesday. Unless the demand is acceded the men th will strike. e b THE SUPREME COURT, All the Surviving Jus- tices Present at the Opening. CLEVELAND YET ABSENT. So the August Tribunal Did Not Adjourn to Greet Him. MR, HARMON WAS INTRODUCED. Several Cases Dismissed From the Docket by Agreement of Counssl. WABHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14.—The Supreme Court convened to-day for the October term, 1895. All the surviving Justices were present. The death of Jus- tice Jackson caused a slight re-arrange- ment of the sittings on the bench, Mr. Justice White taking the deceased Justices’ place at the extreme right of the Chief Justice. This brought together Justices Gray, Brown and White. There was, as usual, upon the opening day of the courta large attendance of spectators, but the number of attorneys was scarcely greater than on any motion day. This was due to the expectation that the court would transact no business beyond admitting new members of the bar and then repair to the ‘White House t hat the members might pay their respects to the chief executive. The court, however, on assembling found that President Cleveland was still absent from the city, so that the ceremony of calling upon him on the day of meeting hadto be omitted for the second time during his Presidential tenure. Among the prominent members of the Supreme Court bar present were: Secre- tary of State Olney, who came to present his successor as Attorney-General (Mr. Harmon) to_ the court; Hon. Don M. Dickinson, Colonel Henry M. Duffield of Detroit; also the staff of the Attorneyv- General’s office, headed by Solicitor- General Conrad and Hon. J. A. Tawney of Minnesota. When the Justices had taken their seats Chief Justice Fuller said: “‘The court reassembles again saddened by a vacant chair. Mr. Justice Jackson died at Nashville, Tenn., on the 8th of August last. This was followed by the de- parture of Mr. Justice Strong on the 19th day of the same month, who during his retirement had maintained his companion- ship with the members of the bench he had adorned. 3 “It bas been the immemorial usage for the court on the first day of the term, or the first day on which a quorum appeared, to proceed in the transaction of no busi- ness, but to adjourn to await upon the President of the United States. The President is absent, and we shall follow the course pursued last year, namely: To dispose of such matters as may be properly brought before us. All motions not sub- mitted to-day may be brought on to- morrow and the usual order of the call of the docket will in that way be entered.” At the conclusion of the Chief Justices’ remarks Secretary Olney said: *I beg the indulgence of the court for a moment to present my successor in the office of Attor- ney-General of the United States—Judson C. Harmon.” Chief Justice Fuller said, ‘“The court parts from the retiring officer with recret and is happy to welcome his successor.” A number of applicants were admitted to the bar, and several motions submitted. Then after a session of twenty-five min- utes the court adjourned for the day. Among the motions presented in the Supreme Court to-day was one by W.J. Hendrick, Attorney-General of Kentucky, to advance for an early hearing the case of the State vs. the Louisville and Nasnville Railroad Company. A number of cases were dismissed from the docket either by agreement of counsel or on motion of the appellants. Among the more important of these were the fol- lowing: The State of Washington ex rel the Columbia and Puget Sound Raiiroad Company vs. the Board of Harbor Line Commissioners. - This was one of the several water-front cases which have been appealed to the Supreme Court from the Bupreme Court of that State. The terms of the agreement to dismiss are not pre- sented of record. The St. Louisand San Francisco Raillway Company vs. Lee and Ryan, two cases involving the Arkansas statute, regulating freight charges in that State, was also dismissed. The question presented was decided by the court at its last term adversely to the railway company, and it instructed its counsel to dismiss the appeals. FENEZUELANBOUNDARY DISPUTE An Interesiing Explanation by Ex-Min- : ister Scrugys, HARTFORD, Coxw., Oct. 14.—William L. Scruggs,. ex-United States Minister to Venezuela, visited this city to-night at the request of the Yale faculty. He has just returned from Venezuela and gives some interesting facts regarding the boundary guestion, concerning which there is so much dispute at present. He says: ““In the present phase of the boundary question between Venezuela and Engiand the real issue is quite simple. 1t is, in brief, whether a European power shall be permitted under the pretext of a boundary dispute, which it refuses to settle, to dis- member an American republic in open violation of public law and in contemptu- ous disregard of the principles of the Mon- roe doctrine. It has, therefore, ceased to be a mere local affair. It is not only an International question of great moment, but one which dimctl{_ affects the interest of the United States. The grant which has been unnecessarily brought into the dis- ute is understood to be a private contract tween the Venezuelan Government and certain individuals, some of whom are friends of the United States, and with which foreign Governments can hayve no concern.” e ig et Lieutenant Darmet Dead. HIGHLAND FALLS, N. Y., Oct. 14— Lieutenant Albert M. Darmet, a brilhant young army officer, died at West Point yesterday, after a short illness, from re- mittent fever. He was buried in the post cemetery this afternoon, with military honors. " Lieutenant Darmet was born in Penns;lvnnia. He was appointed a cadet from Iowa and was graduated second in the class of 1889. i i Difieit in a Treasury. OMAHA, NeBR., Oct. 14.—Four expert accountants, who have been checking up the books in the City Treasurer’s office, have found a deficit in addition to the $10,000 shortage of ex-Treasurer Bolln of $23,000. The finance committee of -the City Council have been seeking to keep the matter d?rk until such time as the evidence accumulated would be sufficient to prove a case in court. The matter, however, leaked out to-day, and the fact, too, that strong suspicion rests upon ex- Deputy Treasurer Coulter, who has re- cently disappeared and was last heard from in Chicago. o A SEVEN VICTINMS OF POISONING. Guests at @ Weading Suffered From Eat- ing Ham. CHICAGO, Tr., Oct. 14.—It is now deter- mined that seven of the victims of the Sabula (Iowa) poisoning horror died and some are still suffering from the deadly trichin infection. Dr. Ryder Le Count of Rush Medical College has prepared speci- mens from the portions of the walls of the intestines sent to Professor Haines for ex- amination,and has made a careful diagnosis of the causes which led to the seven deaths of the guests at the wedding of John W. Taplin and Anng Gage on September 11. Nearly eighty people have been sufféring since the wedding feast. Dr.Le Count’s decision in the matter as to the cause of the deaths and infection settles beyond doubg that the ham, hastily cooked for the wedding supper, caused all the suffering. A great number of people believed that it was a case of malicious poisoning. St DECLARED FOR SILVER. The White Metal Indorsed by the Farmers® National Congress. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 14.—The Farmers’ National Congress devoted much of its time to-day to national finance and de- clared for the free coinage of silver at the ratio 0f 16 to 1. The committee on resolu- tions had a dozen propositions, differing very little, except in their wording, and there was a long debate, but without leadersnip on either side. The committee’s report favored free coinage of both metals at the present ratio, guarded by an import duty upon foreign coin. An effort was made to table the report, but this was overwhelmingly voted down. Nashville was selected as the next place of meeting after a great fight for it by In- dianapolis and Denver, — PIRACY OF THE DANES, Two Cruisers Prey Upon Fish- ermen Off the Coast of Greenland. It Is Claimed That Vessels Are Ille~ gally Held Untll Large Fines Are Pald. GLOUCESTER, Mass,, Oct. 14—If the stories brought in by incoming vessels are true, there is a probability that in a very short time the United States will be en- gaged in diplomatic controversy with the Danish Government. This year the fish- ermen have gone farther north, and from an unexplainable reason the catches on the Grand Banks have been very small. The run of fish off the Greenland coast has been very large, and nearly all the fishing vessels have made this their rendezvous for the season. As soon as this fact became known to the Danish Government a cruiser was dis- patched to {he western coast of Greenland with instructions to capture all vessels breaking the law in regard to fishing within the three-mile limit. A month ago another cruiser was sent to the same spot with instructions to assist the first, and since that time, according to the stories of returning fishing vessels, a System little better than piracy has been carried on. These cruisers have patrolled the whole coast, and not finding any chance of cap- turing vessels breaking the law have now taken to seizing any vessel whether she is in neutral waters or not. No explanation has been given to the captains, put the op- tion was given of paying a large fine or be- ing taken to Reikjavik. Ina number of cases the fine has been paid, but it is claimed that a large number of vessels which have been thought to have been lost ere being retained by the Danish Govern- ment, and that the crews are being held ad prisoners until the fines are paid. Captain William Baker, who had taken his vessel to fish off the coast, was one of those who suffered, and to-day sent a re- port of the outrages to the Navy Depart- ment. He claims that his vessel was cap- tured and taken tc Iceland along with him- self and crew, and not until he had paid a large fine was he allowed to depart. He further states that the captains of the two cruisers are undoubtedly carrying on a sys- tem of piracy unknown to the home Gov- ernment at Copenhagen, as according to the neutrality laws such action is liable to heavy damages. The Navy Department wiil inquire into the matter at once, and for that purpose United States Inspector Hannon left for Halifax to-day to make an investigation. e R SULLIVAN SCORES CORBETT. John Declares That He Is Not a Friend of the Champion. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 14.—Fully 2000 persons were present at the Hudson | County Athletic Ciub, Oakland Rink, Jer- sey City, to-night, the occasion being a boxing entertainment to a benefit to John | L. Sullivan. The big fellow met with a great reception and had a hard time get- ting back to the dressing-room after his set-to with Paddy Ryan. The ex-cham- pion made his usual speech, in the course of which he said: “Inever went to newspaper offices to put up my money, and I fought every one that came along of every nationality. I was twelve years in the ring and was never beaten but once. - ['wish the present cham- pion every success, but without beating about the bush, and to come straight out, I say right here I am no friend of his.” The first portion of his ‘‘speech” was PURITY THEIR PLEA Noted Men and Women Meet to Urge Mo~ rality. AIM OF THE ALLIANCE. Nearly Three Hundred Dele- gates Attend an Interesting Congress. MANY SOCIETIES REPRESENTED. Far-Reaching Results for Reform Predicted by Mrs. Alice Roblnson. . BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 14.—With the exception of an international gathering at Chicago while the World’s Fair was in progress, the first National assembly in America for the discussion of purity and moral questions opened here to-night. Some of the men and women who are to take part in the congress have National reputations. Aaron Macy Powell, who has been a re- former all his life, called the meeting to order. The American Purity Alliance in its present form was incorporated under the laws of New York State a few months ago for the purpose of fighting a bill to regu- late vice, which was before the Albany Legislature. Being successiul therein the membership was increased and now in- cludes persons actively interested in purity in many States. The specific objects of the alliance are stated to be the repression of vice, the pre- vention of its regulation by the State, the better protection of the young, the rescue of the fallen, the extension of the White Cross among men and to maintain the law of purity as equally binding upon men and women. Between 200 and 300 delegates gathered in the Friends’ meeting-house, on Park avenue, to-night to take part in the con- gress, which will continue to-morrow and Wednesday. All Social Purity associa- tions, White Cross leagues, Woman’s Christfan Temperance Union, Young Men’s Christian. assotiations, Epworth League, Christian Endeavor societies and other bodies and organizations were repre- sented. The congress includes many of the same women who will attend the na- tional convention of the W. C. T. U., which will begin Friday. After devotional exercises the congress was formally opened by President Aaron Macy Powell. Joshua Levering, president of the Balti- more Y. M. C. A. and gubernatorial nomi- nee on the Prohibition ticket, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Alice Robinson, president of the local W. Q. T. U., in welcoming the dele- gates said that the congress was great in the reform it contemplated, and predicted far-reaching results for the work that was to be performed in a quiet way. Rev. Dr. W. T. Babine of New York re- sponded to the addresses of welcome. Rev. 8. H. Virdin, D.D., of New York read a paper on the religious aspects of the purity movement. The congress adjourned at 10 o’clock until to-morrow. SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS. No Furtlter Action to Be Taken Until Congress Mects. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14—TI¢ is understood thatno further action will be taken by the parties interested in the pay- ment of the sugar bounty until Congress meets. Secretary Carlisle has promised to hear arguments why he should not send the case, under Comptroller Bowler’s deci- sion, to the United States Court of Claims, but neither Senator Manderson nor any others of those interested has so far availed himself of this proffer and, it is said, will not do so. In the meantime, with the matter. still up in the treasury, Congrass will assemble and then an effort will be made to have Congress pass &n lb%x;opria- tion of §5,000,000 to pay the sugar bounty, coupled with a provision that the Comp- troller shall not have jurisdiction to pass upon the constitutionality of the law. et INVESTIGATING OFFICIALS. They Cause the City Attormey of Pitts- burg to Resign. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 18.—The finance committee of Pittsburg’s Council met at 10:30 o’clock this morning to hear the re- port of the sub-committee concerning the investigation of the City Attorney’s office, which has been in progress for several days. The report of the sub-committee was very long, covering in detail numer- ous discrepancies. Under the fire of the investigation into his official conduct W. C. Moreland, Oit; Attorney, resigned, his letter to that ef- fect being accepted by the finance com- mittee of the Pittsburg Council. The committee immediately elected Clarence Burleigh, ex-District Attorney, to the of- fice thus vacated. e U B Pacific Coast Pensione, WASHINGTON, D.

HELENA, Monr.,, Oct. 14.—The fire which started in the Muir tunnel on the Northern Pacific a month ago is burning almost as furiously as ever. Efforts to smother the flames by sealing the tunnel and also with steam have been unsuccess- ful. Trains are being transferred over the new track recently constructed over the mountains. The damage is very heavy. ——— Cashier Farrar Arrested. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Oct 14.— Fred W. Farrar, the alleged defaulting cashier of the Perry (Oklahoma) Bank,was arrested here this morning on a telegram from Sheriff Hansen of that city, who is now on his way to Colorado Sprfilg' with Tequisition papers.

MADRID, Spary, Oct. 14.—A dispatch from 'Havana says that the rebels have been defeated at Santa Rita and Limara- .| rito with the loss of several killed. WASHINGTON, D. €., Oct. 14.—During the past week a call has been quietly cir- culated among the citizens of Washington for a mass-meeting of those who sympa- thize with struggling Cuba. Over 100 sig- natures of prominent citizens, including university professors, ex-officers of the United States Government and many leading merchants, have been affixed to the call. 1t is expected that the meeting will be held on the 31st in Metzerott Music Hall, which has been tendered for the purpose. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 14, —Passen- ers arriving by the steamer Yumuri Erom Havana to-day say that the rebellion is spreading westward. Three bands of insurgents, have appeared in districts which hayve hitherto been quiet. One party of 200 men, half of whom were said to be Spaniards, rose in the vicinity of Batatsno, twenty-five miles from Havana and the southern terminus of the railroad which runs across theisland from Havana. Another party has risen in Melena del Sur. It has 300 men, and the third party ig at Ybarra, the place where the rebellion first broke out, and where quiet was re- stored last February. In the last party there were 150 men, The news of these risings has caused some excitement in Ha- vana. It is also reported that Maximo Gomez has left 2500 men in Camaguey, and _with 2000 men is marching toward Las Villas. iy il EXODUS OF OANADIANS. Quebec Alarmed at the Rush to the United States. OTTAWA, Oxr., Oct. 14.—The exodus of Canadians from Canada to the United States and the enormous depletion of pop- ulation through that channel is one of the strong cards the Liberal party is at present using against the Government. The exodus from Quebec Province is beginning to assume alarming proportions. Within the last few weeks a large number of fami- lies have left Quebec City and the county of Lewis for the United States, and reports from Arthakesville state that scarcely a week passes that from forty to fifty per- sons from that district do not take their departure from that district for the Ameri- can side. Letters from the North Shore report an exceedingly bad season’s fishing, with every prospect of great distress on the coast this winter and an almost whole- sale exodus of the population to the United States.

The fall days are rapidly passing, and before Jong winter will be upon us. Now is the time to consider whether we are prepared to with- stand the dangers to which we must be exposed during the coming season. Even perfectly healthy people feel the change from summer heat to the coolness of fall and early winter, There is malaria in the atmosphere and few people can escape its enervating effects. Under these circumstances something is needed to quicken the pulse, drive out the germs of dis- ease, restore the jaded facultles and promote the general health. For this purpose nothing has ever equaled Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky, which is indorsed and recommended by the best physicians in the 1and. Thousands of men and women who owe their health and strength to this splendid preparation have testified to its remarkable effects. Among the number is Mrs. Mary West, 830 Elmond avenue, Buffalo, N. Y., whosays: “I haye been using Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky for & 10ng time. It has done me so much good, giving me increased appetite which I lost through severe sickness.’ X Buch outspoken testimony a8 this speais for itself. It proves that Duffy's Pure Malt answers in every way the description of a perfectly re- Mable, health-giving stimulant. This is why it is so universally popular and has made friends wherever it has been introduced. For this reason insist on getting Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky when you ask foritand do not let your grocer or druggist persuade you to take an in- ferfor imitation which is claimed to be *‘ver; much like it or *something just as good.” There is nothing that can take its place. The real difference in upholstery is not on the surface—not as a rule visible to the naked eye. Good upholstery differs from the poor kind in its interior construction— those who make it know. ‘When we say OUR upholstery is good we know, for we make it. When we say “'good” we mean good to look at and some- thing more—Iasting, durable, as thorough and honest inside as it is attractive on the surface. Carpets . Rugs .
