Mr.. LAYTON DENIES IT.
No Letter Has Been Received From
the Treasury Department.
WAS CAMPBELL In WASHINGTON?
A Rumor Of Another Large Connellsville
Coke Deal Denied.
EEwsFROM YESTERDAYS LABOR GRIND

In reply to the statement made by James
Campbell, President of the Window Glass
Workers Association, that the proceedings
in the case of the Central Trades Council
against him would likely be dropped, Presi-
dent Evans, of the Council, said yesterday:
II Mr. Campbell thinks the case will be
dropped he will find out before long that he Is
badly mistaken. see he made another trip to
Washington, and was in that city for two days.
He gave out the impression that he was at
Washington Springs or Fayette Springs or
some other place; but all the same he was seen
in Washington. Whether he was there con-
sulting with the officials of the Treasury De-
partment or not do not know.
In his interview, Mr.. Campbell says he was
not asked to furnish any information in regard
to the case. deny this. His attorney. Mr..
Cotton, was asked, and that is the same thing.
Mr.. Cotton went to District Attorney Lyons
office. and, when asked by the latter what In
formation his side intended to give him, Mr..
CampbelPs attorney replied: IN one whatever"
Upon one occasion I met District Attorney
Lyon at Mr.. Brennen's office, and again asked
him if the other side was prepared to give any
thing to him. Mr.. LYON again told me they
it is for Secretary Window to ask Mr.. Campbell
for the information and he will then be COM
PEELED to give it. 1 have not heard anything
about the department referring the papers
back to Pittsburg for further information. Mr..
Layton has not received any word, and DO not
think Mr.. Lyon has, The latter is still out of
the city, and If he had any advice he would
communicate with Nessrs Bremen or Layton.
One thing / do not understand is the sudden
interest Assistant Secretary Batchellor is tax
ing in the case: When the papers were first
presented to him he said he would not handle
the case, but would allow it to lay over until
Secretary Window returned to his desk. A few
days after positively refusing to take the mat
ter up he examines the papers and has himself
quoted about the Recommendations. If the
newspaper reports are correct, he virtually
gives an opinion as to what he thinks the out
come of the case will be. do not think, how
ever, that he will handle the case. as the Secre-
tary will take 1t up and render decision.
Immigrant Inspector Layton said:
II have not yet seen anything of the Assist
ant Secretary's supposed reply to our recon-
mendations. If he asked for further lnforma-
tion have not seen his query. think our re-
ports were explicit enough, but II any ad-
ditional information is wanted think 1t can be
supplied. have not received a letter of any
kind from the department., and if Mr.. Lyon had
think would have heard something of it"

A GREAT EXCURSION.
Christian Endeavor Societies on the
Monongahela and Chic.
MARVELLOUS GROWTH OF SOCIETY,
Only 81 Composed Their First Convention
Held in Maine.
THE PLEDGE A TEST OF MEMBERSHIP.

The combined Societies of Christian En-
deavor. of Pittsburg and Allegheny, par
ticipated in most enjoyable river excur-
sion last evening. A committee chartered
the Mayfower, which was decorated very
prettily. The Pittsburg excursionists went
on board at the foot of Wood street at 7:15
P. NJ, and sailed down to the Locust street
wharf, taking the Allegheny passengers
aboard. The vessel then returned TO the
Wood street wharf, and quite number OF
sion. They afterward sailed up the river as
far as Duquesne and returned, sailing down
the Ohio to the Davis Island dam.
Everything had been done to make the
event pleasant. Professor Jordon's orches-
ira rendered choice programme, which in
cluded such works as those of Rossini, the
overture to civilian Tell" Weber's
"Oberon," "No Life Without Dancing" 4"
and other popular pieces.
THERE WERE 800 OF THEM.
Refreshments of all kinds were served,
but ice cream was the most popular on the
card. The excursion party arrived back at
midnight, and a unanimous verdict was
pronounced by the 500 people that more
pleasant trip could not be desired.
A few facts in connection with the rise
and progress of the Christian Endeavor
movement may be interesting. 1t originated
in the church of the Rev. f. E. Clark, Of
Williston, Me-, in 1880, by small band of
young people, pledging themselves to do q
certain prescribed Christian work daily.
The next year another society Joined hands
with them, and at the expiration of the year
convention was held, when a report was
made, showing that the society numbered 6S
members. At the last convention, held at
Philadelphia, 80 marvellous and unprece-
dented had the growth been that the secre-
tary was able to report from 1867 societies,
showing a membership of 500, 900. Dele
gates to the convention came from Europe
and Asia. -
THEY GIVE PRACTICALLY.
During the late convention a free-will
offering was taken up for the especial work
of the Central Society, when 900 was
given.
1t may be of interest to state that a num-
ber of societies who use the Christian En-
deavor name have no legitimate right to do
SO, and are not incorporated in the general
roll at headquarters. Many of the societies
have failed to make the pledge q test of
membership, and if that is not done. which
is the case among a few in Pittsburg,
notably at the Butler Street NJ. E., they are
not really members of the parent society.
The pledge is as follows, and has to be
signed by all active members:
promise that will do whatever Jesus Christ
would have me do; that will read my Bible
every day; that will take some part in the
prayer meeting besides singing; that will
always be present at the prayer meeting, ex-
cept imperatively detained, and that will
always do my best to promote the best inter-
ests of the society.

QUAY WAS CAUGHT.

He Tries the Old Kuow-Nothing Tactics,
But He Falls the Victim to a Little Bit Of
FIuttery.
The Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay was a
passenger on the Limited last night. When
the reporters called upon him in his private
car he received them most courteously. En-
couraged by such greeting, it was thought
the junior Senator was going to talk; but it
did not take him long to undeceive his Wis.,
itors.
"Did you have nice trip, SENATOR" was
the first question ventured.
eyes, very nice one."
"Maior Moutooth is just now getting
great boom all over the State as a candidate
for Governor. What is your opinion about
him?'
"I do not know"
The appointment to the Pittsburg post
mastership is matter of great specula-
tion here. Have you any opinion to ad-
vance on that subject?"
81 do not know"
By this time the reporters lost heart, and
did not know for a moment what to ask
next. In the meantime the Senator quietly
leaned back in his seat, dividing his gaze
between the upper section of his berth and
the reporters. occasionally he would roll
his lett eye and glance around the car; but
all the time he retained the same pleasant
manner.
"will there be a special session of Con-
gress in October, and can you tell us what
will be the chief object of the session."
81 do not knowP'
This chilly answer had been premeditated,
because it came almost before the question
was put 1t was no use. Suddenly bright
idea seemed to have struck one of the inter-
viewers.
what do you think about the Republi-
can convention held at Harrisburg. last
week?"
II do not knowp'
"But the delegates passed resolution in
which they gave you very high praise"
"Yes. so they did; saw II was told
about that"
There! the Senatorial Oyster had opened
his shell at last and upon just little bit of
fattery! Although he denied that he knew
anything about the Harrisburg Convention,
still he was caught when told that his name
had been favorably mentioned. However.
the reporters were satisfied that the Hon.
Matthew was not in the humor to divulge
any political pointers, and they departed,
wishing him very good night.

soon ripened into love. On Saturday even
ing last the young lady started for the
depot to go to McKeesport to visit her par
ents, and young Brown accompanied her to
the depot as an escort apparently. But
they went together to Buffalo, where they
were married A letter was received from
the young lady announcing the event, and
her speedy return. Both parties come from
highly respectable families, and the matter
was great surprise to all concerned.

A FRUITLEss GLASS CONFERENCE.
The Wage Committees Agree to Disagree
ON Next Years Scale.

Tho Wage Committees Agree to Disagree
ON Next Years Scale.
At the conference between the wage COM
mittees of the window-glass manufacturers'
and workers associations yesterday they
once more agreed to disagree. From present
indications it looks very much as if there
would be strike this fall, but the trouble
will likely be settled before the time for
starting up.
The manufacturers' committee was COM
posed of William Loeffier, d. G. Phillips.
7. o. Campbell, of Pittsburg; Thomas d.
Cotlin. of Ottawa, ILL.,; w. f. Gray, Zanes-
vile, O., and L. Numbourg, of Fostoria, o.
The workers committee was composed Of
James Campbell, William Jones. W. III.
Slicker, William Springer, l.. l.. Conway
and 81. D. Swearer. Mr.. Loefier was Chair
man Of the manufacturers committee and
L. L. Conway, Chairman OF the workers
committee. ID. C. Phillips presided, while
James Campbell and W. II. Slicker acted as
Secretaries. The pleasantries opened by the
workers committee announcing that they
would insist upon the advance of over per
cent. The manufacturers stated that under
no circumstances would they get it. This
appeared to settle the discussion, and the
workers left the meeting.
After the meeting President Catlin, of
the Manufacturer Association, said:
''There is not one manufacturer in the asso-
citation who will sign the workers scale.
If that association intends to disrupt the
Manufacturer Association by presenting
their demands to each individual firm as
they have stated, they will get very badly
left. When the scale is signed it must be
done by the committee representing the
association or not at all.
1--WE are in no hurry whatever to resume
work in our factories, There are over
1OO. 900 more boxes of glass on hand now
than there was at this time one year ago.
Until this stock is worked off we are not
solicltious about an early resumption. I
think the scale will be settled next month,
and we will start to work October 1.

Amalgamated scale. During the past
week Mr.. Speer and Mr.. Steiner, of tine
firm, Mr.. William Wiehe, President of the
Amalgamatcd Association, Mr.. f. G. Sui

dsys.
The scale is modified somewhat from that
of last year. The firm have introduced
new improved machinery. but the wages
remain substantially the same. This scale
would undoubtedly have been arranged
some time ago, but the extensive alterations
and repairs have prevented the company
from starting the mill until now. The
scale is for one year from June 80.
