CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The regular Sunday
meeting OF the Working Peoples Inter-
national Association attracted the usual
large crowd last night at West Lake
street. The gathering, which included
few women, completely filed the hall.
The Times report says: "Dynamiter
Dusquenes brought the chattering crowd
to order by vigorous humping with his
fist on the table. G. S. Griffin, the first
orator, stated that this world had been
created for the people alike, and capi-

partnership, or else, with the assistance
of dynamite, leave the world.
A. r. Parsons read radical Socialistic
resolutions referring to the lock-outs in
Pennsylvania, and asserting that the
bread of wage workers is owned by the
privileged class, etc. The resolutions
were adopted and speeches made inveigh-

The Arctic Hero Promoted by a Rider
on the Army Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-There is good
reason to believe that Congress may this
session make Lieut.. A. w. GreeIy a Colo
mel and Assistant Chief Signal Officer,
in recognition of his heroic services. 1t
is proposed by his friends in the House to
put such a provision in "a rider" upon
the army Appropriation bill. They be-
lieve that if it passes the House it will
unquestionably pass the Senate. They
have secured promises of support from
most of the leaders on both sides of the
Aouse, but have been afraid to tackle old
Holman, whom they believed to be hos
tile. To-day, however, Mr.. Holman re-
marked that although he was
opposed as a general thing
to special legislation of this sort, he was
in favor of giving Lieut.. Greedy this we'll
deserved recognition. He did rot, how
ever, like the idea of putting such pro-
vision on an appropriation bill. He did
not see why a special bill should not be
prepared by Lieut.. Greely's friends, and
passed by the House under a suspension
of the rules. He thought that il would
easily command the necessary two-thirds
vote. He spoke in warm terms of Lieut..
Greely's services.

The Presence of Catholic Missionaries
at Bay Roberts Causes an Uprising.
ST. JOHN, N. F., Jan. 5.-Yesterday, at
Bay Roberts, there was another furious
Orange outbreak. The New York re-
demptorist fathers, who are holding a
mission at that place, were besieged and
imprisoned in their dwelling. An Orange
arch was erected near tie Catholic Church
and hundreds of armed Orangemen pa
raded the streets. When the Intelligence
reached st. John the United States Com
sui demanded from Gov. Glover protec-
tiOn for the lives and liberty of United
States citizens. An extraordinary meet
ing of the Executive Council has been
summoned. The British corvette Tenedos
has been ordered to Bay Roberts, and a
large body OF police, under Inspector
Carty, has been dispatched by special
train to the scene of the trouble.
THE SITUATION GROWING DARKER.
A later dispatch from Bay Roberts SAYS !:
"Bishop Mcdonald is prevented by the
Orangemen from holding service in the
church, which they have surrounded.
Affairs are growing darker and more
threatening. Hundreds of armed men
are parading the streets. The police are
unequal to the occasion. The British
man-Of-war TenedOs has just arrived to
reinforce the civil authorities. The Or

MOOrefield, w. Va, the Scene of a War
Similar to Dakota's

MOOREFIELD, w. VA, Jan. 5.-This
city was greatly excited last night over
an ATTEMPT to get possession of the office
and records of the County Clerk. Women
and children were hidden in darkened
rooms and the streets were full of excited
and angry men. Fights were numerous.
The question is a serious one ard involves
the seating Of the Democratic State ticket
elected at the October election. At the
election a constitutional amendment was
adopted changing the time of holding the
State election from the second Tuesday of
October to the first Tuesday of November.

pared ticket for State officers which
was voted for Nov. 4, receiving about
1000 votes in the State. On one of the
tickets William LOch, who had been for
years Clerk of this county, had his name
printed, and he received at the November
election number of votes. AS no other
candidate was voted for he declared him.

that he would retain possession of the

VIM. Wilson, who was elected at the
October election, appeared to claim the

of the county were on hand. When
Wilson appeared at the door of the

A fight ensued, in which the office
furniture was smashed, a dozen were
knocked down, and the party finally
driven from the building. The Mayor
issued proclamation closing all saloons,
and an extra police force was put on
duty. In the meantime the Clerks office
was being barricaded, and preparations
for siege made. In short time the at

wilson was struck over the head by
son of Clerk Loeb, and,
1T is feared, fatally wounded.
Young Loeb would have been lynched had
the crowd succeeded in getting at him.
The Sheriff organized a posse and charged
the court house, arresting number and
taking possession of the building. Guards
were placed, and all night long pickets
passed the court house grounds. Soon
after the opposing forces separated, and
while portions of them built bonfires
around which they discussed the ''war"
the larger portion adjourned to halls,
where speeches were delivered on the
legal aspect of the case. Clerk Loeb has
taken possession of the office. The affair
simply from legal standpoint has State
interest. If Clerk Loeb succeeds in re-
tanning the office it virtually seats the
