TIE WHISKY QUESTION.
Line Drawn by a Clergyman Between Tenn
perance and Total Abstinence.

SCRANTON, Pa. juno 25-At the annual con-
vcntion of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union
of the diocese of Scranton. in White Haven,
last week one of the resolutions adopted was as
follows:
Resolved, That we are compelled to regard every
rish-Amercan Catholic above whose door is swung
the damnable heraldry of that damnable traffic Of
enemy of his race and creed, and as dis.
grace to both, and hail the coming day when So
ciety shall place the saloonkeeper in his proper place
the slums, into which the innumerable host of his
wretched victims have been dragged.
The resolution created much commotion among
those of the aioor-keepers of this region who
are Catholics. and an appeal was made by them
to Rev. n. j. McManus. of Archibald, spiritual
director of the Diocese Union, who today pub
fishes an order, in which the following occurs.
Il repudiate the language and sentiment of the
resolutions of the White Haven convention, and
declare them unofficial. l hope they were the

that temperance IS an obligation fos everyone
while total abstinence is a matter OF opinion.

A Fleeing Prisoner Fatally Shot.

IONA, Mich. June 25.-Frank Wenland, an in
mate Of the State House of Correction under
sentence for larceny, was shot while attempting
to escape, yesterday. His time would have ex-
pired in about month, ard he was assigned to
yard work. and had the liberty OF the yard. %
ont, Wenland dashed through tow. w,..rds the rail-
road track. Edward Barnes, the guard on that
part of the wall, gave The alarm, and called to
the man to st0s, threatening to shoot Wenland
paid no attention to this and the guard fired
over his head, but he still kept on. The guard
reloaded, and when Wenland was fully seventy
five rods away, he again fired, and this time hit
him in the back. The wounded man was con-
veyed to the prison hospital There is a slight
hope of his recovery.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The Movement Of Merchandise at All Promi
nent. Centers Continues Very Moderate.

New York, June 25.-Special kilograms to
Bradstreet's show that the movements of general
merchandise at nearly all prominent distributing
centers continues of moderate proportions. New
Orleans forms a noteworthy exception, as the
manufacturing industries there are busy, and
the crop prospect is favorable. At leading cities
there is considerable confidence in the prospect
of fall trade in groceries. dry goods and hard
ware, and dealers in other lines are looking ahead
TO increased demands after the close of the dull
season. Domestic money markets are generally
quiet with offerings in excess of demands. AT
st. Louis, Kansas City, ST. Joseph and Mil
waukae, money is in more active request from
manufacturers and jobbers, and in some in
stances from the wool districts Il is noticeable
that collections have improved at the south
western points named, indicating a freer move
ment of products
The New York stock market has been less
buoyant, though the control of the bull clique
seems mono the less strong. Unfavorable events,
the Chicago switchmen's strike. and extensive
rate cutting in the Northwest make their task
difficult. and, whenever left TO themselves, prices
show decline. Bonds are very strong and
active. Money is plentiful call loans averaging
2per cent. Commercial paper is dull and scarce.
Exchange is strong and gold is shipped in linn
tied quantities.
wool Is Inc only staple which has shown any
marked advance from the extreme low level OF
prices generally 1t is 203c higher at the sea-
board than on June ]. Mill purchases, as well
IS speculative buying, have helped this, al
though the London sales, with gain of 20 and
20 per cent in prices, have had a good deal to co
with it. Woolen goods are stronger in conse-
quence, and there has been noticeable gain in
the movement of dry goods generally from both
jobbers and agents On some lines of bleached
and brown cottons the advance is from 4c to &c
per yard.
Crude petroleum, too, has advanced on de-
cline in the average new production daily, and
hog products continue the tendency toward
higher figures noted last week There is also
some improvement in raw cotton. But on the
long list of remaining staples there is no con-
spicuous gain Breadstuffs continue low in
price. Wheatcrop prospects continue favora-
BILE; stocks are fair. and shippers are taking
with moderation. The gain in No. red cash
wheat at New York on this week is &c, and corn
&C. There is no better demand for iron at the
East and Southern pig is again pushing its way
into the hands of new customers.
Sugar continues depressed by influences
which have dominated for some time past. To-
bacco is less active at the West.

EDISON TO LEAVE NEW YORK.
His Object Being to Remove His Works Beyond
the Influence of Labor Agitation.

NEW YORK, June 25.-The works of the Edi
son Manufacturing Company will be removed
from this city to Schenectady. This important
change is an outgrowth of the labor excitement,
which affected the business of the company seri
ously. About three hundred and fifty hands are
now employed in the machine shops on Goerck
street. The contract system has been in vogue
there for long time, butfour or five weeks ago
the men became dissatisfied with it. and struck
in a body There was a great deal of uncom-
pleted work ir the shops, including three torpedo
boats for the..eoyernment, as we'll several inn
portant contracts The boats could not be fin
ished time, and the concern lost heavily
thereby. 1t is said that much was lost, also, on
other contracts.
The men held out against the company for
three weeks and then made complete sur
render, several of the leaders themselves being
particularly active in securing contracts But
this signal victory not enough for Mr.. Edi.
son. He was profoundly dsgusted with the
causes well as the effects of the strike, and
ho determined, if possible, to secure himself
from repetition of the episode. 1t seemed to
him that workmen in New York or vicinity were
subjected to peculiarly disturbing influences,
and he accordingly resolved to get away, the fur
ther the better, He began at once to look abo ut
for new location. Some time ago the Mcqueen
Locomotive Company purchased ten acres of
land at Schenectady, and erected two spacious
well-built shops. Before any machinery had
been put in, the concern became involvediin fl.
nancial difficulties, and its affairs were put in
charge of receiver. The spick and span new
shops were offered for sale. and the famous in
ventor bought them, land and ell.
It must have taken all of Mr.. Edisons char
aceristic to do this, for it involved serious
loss in another quarter. The Goerck street
shops in this city, have long been too small fer
the work required. and not many mon tbs ago
the Edison company bought whole block of
land in Brooklyn for the erection of new shops.
1t was intended that ultimately ]. 900 men should
be employed there. A small foundry for cast
ings had already been built. and work be-
/ gun there last month. Work on the main shops
would have begun very The land has
been disposed of at sacrifice, and the foundry
will be abandoned when the removal to Schenec-
tady takes place This will probably be in Oc-
tober next
A large force of men will be put into the new
shops at once to make necessary alterations and
erect the machinery. Mr. Edison will employ
from 700 to 900 men in Schenectady.

He Seeks Relaxation from the Arduous Work
Of Vetoing Pension Bills
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Yesterday was prob
ably the busiest day the President has had since
his inauguration. 1t was devoted almost entire
~ to the consideration of pension cases. Dur
ing the day he acted upon l18 private pension
bills, after giving each case thorough personal
examination. Thirty bills were vetoed, and
eighty eight were approved He also approved
the bill reimbursing Edwin Stevens. United
States consul at Nngpo, China for extraordina-
ry expenses incurred during the Franco Chinese
war. The bill for the relief of Richard Winter
smith, late Door-keeper of the House, was allowed
to become law without the Presidents sigma
ture. The President wrote all the veto mes-
sages himself without assistance by dictation or
otherwise. They make about fifty pages of
closely-wrtten foolscap. Indeed it is stated
that the President has personally written every
message that has issued from the White House
during his administration.

Items of News Concerning the Panama Ca
nal and the Yellow Fever.
PANAMA, June 1L-Since the retirement Of
Gen. Santo Domingo Villa from the post of civil
and military chief of this department, Senior
Amado Guerrero has been acting in that ca
pacity until MS permanent successor should be
appointed. General Posada has now been ap-
pointed, and will shortly enter upon his duties.
DR.. Guerrero is one Of the nest popular citizens
of Panama.
AT La Boca, the terminus of the canal, in Pan
anna, about three miles from the city, a. lively
little village is springing up, and there are signs
Of great animation. 1t is evidently destined to
become an important town. Vessels continue
to arrive at Colon with material for the canal
company. The reports sent abroad from here
that there were forty deaths daily in Colon from
yellow fever are not true. Equally untrue is
story sent hence to Lima and printed there. that
there was an average OF sixty deaths daily in
this city from the disease. The consequence of
these misstatements is that several persons who
intended to 60 to Europe via Panama have
made up their minds to 60 through the straits of
Magellan, fearing the supposed epidemic.
An American citizen has obtained concession
to erect theater in Panama, and engages to
complete it within one year 1t is to accommo-
date seven hundred persons. The government
exempts the theater from all taxation for a
period of six years The site of the old convent,
Los Monias, has been selected, and very sub
stantial walls are standing there.
On the 18th instant some laborers engaged in
demolishing an old building near the railway
companys Office came across Jar containing
$4,000 in gold
Exchange here is still high, although the canal
company draws every month for upwards Of
100000 on France, England and the United
