THE conversion Of George Bliss to Catholi-
cIsm is the latest exploit Of that prince of
proselyters, Mons. Capel. Bliss is chiefly
known as an able and very subtle lawyer,
with strong dash Of the detective in his
composition. He inherited large wealth and
has made great deal Of money, one of his
fat fees having been obtained from the Gov
eminent for conducting the star.route cases.
He has been known as man who took an
interest in religious discussion, but whose
faith was small In creed or dogma. The
zeal cause Of his going over 10 Rome In his
old age was probably the influence Of his
wife, who was SO fervent Catholic that che
had private chapel built In her residence,
where masses were said by prominent digni-
tarles Of the Church.-S. r. Chronicle.

RESIGNATION OF SIDNEY DILLON.
Charles Francis Adams President Of the u. p.
Railway Company.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-At q meeting Of
the Union Pacific directors, Dillon resigned
as president, and Charles Francis Adams
accepted the position. They voted that In
lieu of the dividend payable July LIST the
sum of $71S,S be paid from the moneys In
the Union Pacific treasury to meet the de-
mand Of the Secretary of the Treasury for
payments under the Thurman act for the
year ending December 81, 1888.
Mr.. Sidney Dillon said to reporter: "My
resignation was of my own volition. The
statement that resigned on account of dis
satisfaction with my management on the
part Of Jay Gould and Ames, Is absolutely
false. The reasons for my resignation are
these: l am seventy-th years old; my
health Is impaired, and the death of my wife
several months ago, has weighed upon me.
For twenty years / have been connected
with the Union Pacific. l was one of its
organizers. For ten years l was an active
member of the executive committee, and
for ten years have been President. have
practically given my services gratuitously.
For sixteen Of the twenty years l drew no
salary. During the past four years l have
drawn q salary of $4,000 q year, yet for ten
years have been at my Office here ten hours
every day. / feel as If needed rest. Be-
sides my private business requires my atten-
ton. There was another important consid.
Grafton which compelled me to resign. The
stock of the company Is rapidly going Into
the hands of eastern men. The main Office
is in Boston, and instead of the management
being divided between New York and Bos-
ton, thought the president should be . cti-
zen of Boston. could not move there, so
resigned. shall remain however, a director
of the company, and member Of its execu-
tive committee, aud you may state that next
to Frederick l.. Ames, am the largest stock
and bondholder In the company" After
devoting month to arranging his private
Affairs, Dillon expects to 60 to Europe for
rest. He looks very tired and exhausted,
and evidently needs rest. His holding of
stock amounts to $4,000 shares, Ames holds
about 10000 shares.

nations.

CHICAGO, June 20.-Ths American pro
hibition) party held another session this
morning, and appointed a committee, with
ex-senator Pomeroy as chairman, TO formu-

the Indians and Cinnamon; that iaterna-
tional differences should be settled by arbi-
tration; that land and other monopolies

tariff should be reduced as fast as the neces-
sity of the revenue and vested business in
terests will allow; that polygamy should at
once be suppressed; that the Republican
party is censurable for its long neglect of
duty in respect to this evil; demands direct
vote for President and Vice President Of the
United States. The preamble adopted by
the National Christian Association was also

nations for President Of the United States.

ShC LAho LAWS.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-A pretty bitter
Eight Is likely to be made In the House upon
the bills repeating the presumption and tim
Der culture laws. The Committee on Public
Lands is very earnestly urging the repeal Of
these laws, on the ground that they are weak
aud an open door to frauds. It believes that
with proper amendments they would be very
beneficial. Thisis especially true, they say,
OF the timber culture law. There will prob
ably be not much opposition to the repeal of
the presumption law, for out oft have grown
so many misfortunes for those sections where
public land exists that people are quite will
Ing TO see it repealed. The timber culture
law Is, however, so great Importance, IL
properly enforced, that the friends of the
Northwest prefer TO see 1t SO amended that
Its privileges may not be abused, rather than
to see 1t stricken from the statute books. To
convince the average legislator, however, of
the great benefit which . properly framed
timber culture law will be to the treeless
sections Of the West and Northwest 10 very
difficult.
