'ReSO 0ed, That we hereby ratify the
action of the Congress of the Interna
tional Working Peoples Association, re-
Gently held in London, and, acting upon
its advice, we have organized ourselves
in the United States in conformity with
the condition and circumstances sur.
rounding us.
''ReSOLged, That we hereby extend, on
behalf of the defenders of liberty every
where, our heartfelt thanks to the So
cialists of Russia for their unrelenting
war upon the evils of Czarism, and they
have our unqualified support in employ
ing any and all means to extirpate such
monsters from among men.
''R6SOlCed, That the Congress assem-
bled recognize the armed organizations
of workingmen who stand ready with the
gun to resist the encroachments upon
their rights, and recommend the forma
ton of like organizations all over the
| States.
"ReSOloed, That under no circum
stances are our members allowed to vote
for any person, or with any party, which
does not absolutely approve of this plat
| form"
After some unimportant routine bust
ness the Congress adjourned sine die
and the citizens went to their homes
such as had any. The meeting of the
Congress has attracted very little atten-
tion, and in point of general interest ha.
been failure.

ESTABLISHED 1850.
Arthur and the Star Reuters.

~ Y. CorrespOndenes Pkilddelphfa Ledger.
1t Is an open secret with well informed
people here that, when President Arthur
was last in New York, he was under an
impression that none of the parties to
the star route frauds could be con-
victed; but, whether this impression was
owing to a belief that the prosecution
was unskilfully handled, or that there
was not sufficient proof of the charges
to convict, cannot be said, nor is it ma.
terial to the point, in connection with
the persistency Mr.. Arthur has shown
in insisting that Attorney General Mac
Veagh shall remain in the Cabinet at all
hazards until that business is finished up.
The fact is, in the event of the prosecu-
ton breaking down for lack of proof or
any other cause las your correspondent
has heretofore written), the President is
apprehensive that the enemies of his ad-
ministration would say that if General
Garfield had lived this would have been
a case IN which ''no guilty man" would
have escaped" The President does
not care to take any risk of that charac.
ter-the risk, that is, of shielding, even
by implication, rogues in or out of Office
and hence his now all but peremptory
demand Tin the imperative mood, it is
said) that the Attorney General shall not
retire until the prosecution which he
helped to initiate shall be finished.
AS there appears to be more or less mys-
terry to many people in this position of
the President in thus declining to accept
the resignation of the Attorney General,
this explanation may serve to clear it up.
Mr.. Arthur's memorable speech at the
complimentary Delmonico dinner to
Senator Dorsey had implied a pc
culiar admiration for that person
age on the part of the former, and this
circumstance is an additional reason
why he (Mr. Arthur desires to have as
little connection with the star route mat
ter as possible. His determination, per-
haps, may best be expressed in what
am assured were his own words: "The
people who commenced these prosecu-
tons must stay to see them out; it is not
my intention to be made responsible for
them in any way whatever.

THE GERMAN ELECTIONS.
The Government Left In n Minority
General Opposition Gains.

BERLIN, October 2s.--In the polling here
for members Of the Reichstag yesterday no
Conservative or Anti-Semitic candidate re-
ceived enough votes to entitle him to enter
as a candidate In the second ballot. Herr
HenFici, a notorious Jew hater, only
received eight hundred votes out of 10000
The news from the provinces denotes a
strengthening Of the Liberal ranks. The
defeat of the Conservatives is most siguif-
cant in places where the government had
put forth all it's strength to support them.
A large force Of police was on duty in the
streets here during the day, and numerous
arrests were made.
The figures giving the result of elections
here are very significant. Prof. Virchow,
(Progressist) polled 17,400 votes against
IL POO for Rev. DIR. Stoecker, the Court
preacher and leader of the Anti-Semitic
movement. In two cases a second ballot
is required TIE Social Democrats have
developed formidable strength. Herr Bsbel
pOlled 1854 votes against 1880 for Herr
Trager, the Progressist candidate, and 8,239
for the Conservative candidate. Herr Hazen-
clever polled 10 647 votes against !, 1,S89 for
Herr Klotz the PrOgressist candidate. The
votes cast for each OF the other candidates
were insignificant, but in the aggregate
were sufficient to prevent a majority for
any one candidate, and to render a fresh
ballet neces sarY.
The results in one hundred aud ten cleo
ton districts have been received. 10 thirty
one districts second ballots are necessary.
OF the successful candidates. twenty-five be-
long to the Centre party, twelve are
Progressists, six are Secessionists,
six belong to the Parry of the
People, three are Conservatives, six are
free Conservatives, two are Poles, three are
Protesters and two are Partieulsrists. Hard
lY any results of the elections In the country
districts have yet been received. All the
leaders OF the opposition have been elected,
some obtaining twice the requisite
number of votes. The government
has lost numerous seats, both to Progressists
and Secessionists. The Socialists have met
with unexpected success in several cOnstitu-
encies. The North German Gazette ex-
presses the opinion that the result of the
election in Berlin recalls the state of affairs
in Paris, where the radical element over
powered the true upholders of the State.

The way porter house steaks came by

1914 man named Morrison kept q fs-

steaks cut from the small end of the sir
lOin were the best to be had, he contract

steaks for him. And so the butcher
used 10 say to his men, have you cut the

Porter house steaks, by the way. are

o'clock this morning ths dead body of
Policeman Mosher Rurnham was found
in an alley near Canal street, in this vii

his right hand near his pocket, as though
