The Investigations of the Ford com.
mittee completely destroyed one cam.
paign document that the Republicans had
been using with great liberality, the
lettar from William Barbour, CON-
pairing the wages In his Irish and
New Jersey mills. The letter really had
no weight because the duty on flax pro.
tects no one in this country, but it
had the sound of being something

labor. The Ford commission found
many witnesses to prove that this

alleged importation Of foreign contract

his American plant solely for the purpose
oe keeping control Of the American mar.

business very nicely by importing Irish

Dunkard Delegates Nearly All Present
and Ready for the Business Sessions.
Active Lobbying Among Methodists in tho
Interest Of the Candidates for the Bish.
opric-The Presbyterian Assembly.


Special to the INDIANAPOLIS journal
WABASH, Ind, May 2L-There was a great
influx Of Dunk ards to-day from all parts Of the
West to their annual meeting at North Man
chester, and tonight most of the delegates are
on hand ready for the business sessions. which
will begin tomorrow. 1t is estimated that the
attendance of visiting Dunkards will not fall be-
low 10. 1000. though no register is kept, and there
is no way to get at the exact number. Those
present represent every State in the Union ex-
cept California and Oregon; but the attendance
is hardly up to the usual standard, owing to
the financial tightening up in Kansas, Ne
braska. Iowa, and other Western States. The
number of delegates Is between three and four
hundred. and are appointed one to each church
having q membership Of $50 or less. and two
from each church having over that number. The
membership of the Old Order Church in the
vicinity of North Manchester is quite large, and
it is estimated that fully one hundred from this
meeting in Illinois. The total membership Of
that order does not exceed 5000. while the
branch holding its meeting here has . member
ship of over one hundred Thousand.
The monotony of the services this morning
was relieved by the singing of q solo by Rev.
Oliver Yont, of Tippecanoe City. o., who has o
fine voice and handles it with very good effect.
The congregational singing OF old-fashioned
hymns is slow and nethodical, and not calcu-
lated to arouse religious fervor. The sermon
this morning was delivered by Rev. John NJ.
Mohler, of Lewistown. Pa. and was followed by
an address by Elder John Foraly, of Abilene,
Kan. who is one OF the oldest men OF the church.
Rev. Oliver Yont spoke this afternoon. and this
evening there was speaking by Elder Jno. l..
Wyse. of Conway Springs, Kan. All Of the
preaching is without notes. and the speskers
often grow quite eloquent. Many of the breth-
rem from a distance had not learned of the sud
den death of Elder Quinter when they arrived
on the prounds

CHICAGO. May 2L-The Philadslphias scored
q victory. to-day. in Q game characterized by
light hitting and good fielding. In the second
inning Mulvey was gwen his base on balls, and
Farrar then hit the ball over the fence for a
home-run, thereby winning and earning the
game, as one run was all the Chicsgos could
score in the game. Both pitchers were too
much for the opposing batters. Casey struck
Baldwin out four times. Brilliant playing was
done by Pfeffer. Burns. DAILY, Ryan, Clements,
