ysPEcIAI, TELEGRAM 10 THE DIsP ATCH.i
WASHINGTON, November 1.-While the
Ohio and Virginia employees of the depart
ments seem generally disposed to go home to
vote, that is. not the case with PennsylVa-
Mans Save those who live in the Southern
or Eastern counties, few will leave
their work to save the State. A
circular from Chairman Andrews. OF the
Pennsylvania State Committee, was received
by all Pennsylvania employees in the de-
partment, earnestly arguing that it is their
duty to go home en- masse to the Old Key
stone State, to help make the Republican
majority as large as possible. that the tarlf
lesson of 1888 may not appear to have lost
its effect. Chairman Andrews was entirely
impartial in his distribution of the circu-
lars, as he sent it to scores of Democrats
who are yet in the service, and many OF
whom will remain there under the laws gov
erning the civil service. These were much
amused at the earnest prayer of the Chair
man, but generally concluded they would
not go home to vote either the Republican
or the Democratic ticket
IF free transportation had been furnished,
probably nearly all Of the Republicans
would have gone home; but to those who
live north and west of the central counties
the cost of voting would be about $25 in
railroad fare, loss of salary and incidental
expenses Of course, the officials of higher
rank will all go home. Commissioner Hol-
liday, of the Bureau, of Customs. left this
evening. From Pittsburg, tomorrow morn
ing, he will run out to Little Washington,
to visit daughter who is at the seminary
there, and on Monday he will reach his Erie
home.

ESPECIAL TELEcRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.'
WASHINGTON. November This was
pay day in the departments, and the several
representatives of the State campaign COM
mittees, who are here to receive voluntary
contributions" from Government employees,
expected to reap a rich harvest to send
home. Representatives of the Ohio
Republican State Committee expected to
have been able to have collected at least
$500 to-day, from Ohio clerks and employees
IN the several Departments. had thev not
been interfered with by the Civil Service
Commission. It is understood that
representatives of the commission
called on the officers of the several State
Republican associations, and notified them
that If any of their committees or agents at
tempted to solicit campaign assessments
from any one connected with the Govern
ment, either in or out of the departments,
the commission would prosecute both the
solicitor and contributor.
1t is said that many of the clerks refused
to contribute what they had promised,
giving as an excuse the fear OF the Civil
Service Commission. Notwithstanding the
alleged activity of the Civil Service Com
mission, however, the Indiana Republicans
have issued call for tomorrow evening,
for the purpose of organizing an Indiana
Republican Association. The call concludes
as follows:
All Indiana Republicans, particularly those
recently appointed to positions in the depart
ments of the Government, are urgently re-
quested to be present at this meeting and be-
come members, as 3 complete organization is
desired, preparatory to aiding the State Cen
tral Committee for effective campaign work.
Evidently the Hoosiers understand just
how sincere President Harrison feels with
regard to enforcing the civil service law.
The Michigan Club had a similar meeting
last night, and nearly all the Republican
associations that were ordered out Of exist
ence by order No. of Rutherford B. Hayes
are falling into line again.
The threats of the Civil Service Commits
sioners to arrest anyone found soliciting
money in the Government departments for
campaign purposes had its effect. and the
Virginia committee did not show up to-day,
as they promised. The watchmen in the
Government buildings were under orders to
arrest them if the attempt was made to col
lect monevs

WASHINGTON, November Secretary
Tracy to-day formally accepted the pro-
tected cruiser Charleston, built by the
Union Iron Works Company, of San Fran
cisco, upon the showing made in her test
some weeks ago. The report of the Trial
Board, while saying that the vessel
had been built according to con-
tract, contained some ambiguity of
expressions which the Secretary desired to
have made plain before acting finally. The
report was, therefore, returned and the
board reconvened to attend it. The revised
report was received at the Department yes
terday and being conclusive and satisfac-
tory, the acceptance of the vessel was or
dered.
On the test of the Charleston, she failed to
show the horse power required by the con-
tract by $50, which would impose penalty
of $4,000. The boiler capacity of the YES
sci was not reached by the machinery, and
the constructors asked for another trial, in
dlcating that slight changes in the gear
would be made, but the department con-
cluded not to permit second trial to take
place. 60
Whether or not under this condition of
things the Government can enforce the pay
ment of the penalty is a question that will
have to be decided when the question of
final settlement is under consideration.
There is a penalty against the vessel Of
81, 500 for delay in completion. The con-
tract price of the Charleston was 81, OIL, 900,
and the contractors have been paid 1924, ,875.

for Which the People should
Return Gratitude.
WASHINGTON, November 1.-The fol-
lowing proclamation, setting apart Thurs
day, November %, as a day of National
Thanksgiving, was issued late this afternoon:
By the President of the United States:
A PROCLAMATION.
A highly favored people, mindful Of their
dependence on the bounty of Divine Provi-
dence, should seek fitting occasion to testify
th cir gratitude and ascribe praise to Him who
is the author of their many blessings. 1t be-
hooves us then to look back with thankful
hearts over the past year and bless God for his
infinite mercy in vouchsafng to our land en-
during peace, to our people freedom from
pestilence and famine, to our husbandmen
abundant harvests, and to them that labor
recompenSe of their toll.
Now, therefore, /, Benjamin Harrison, Presi-
dent of the United States of America, do earn
estly recommend that Thursday. the 18th day
of this present month of November, be set
apart as day of national thanksgiving and
prayer, and that the people of our country,
ceasing from the cares and labors of their
working day, shall assemble in their respective
places of worship and give thanks to God. who
has prospered us on our way and made our
paths the paths of peace; beseeching him to
bless the day to our present and future good,
making it truly one of thanksgiving for each re-
united home circle as for the nation at large.
In witness thereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington
this first day of November, in the year of Our
Lord, one thousand. eight hundred and eighty
nine and of the Independence of the United
States the one hundred and fourteenth.

The brotherhood of Locomotive EngIaeers
Now Nearly Ready to Adjourn.
DENVER, November 1.-The locomotive
engineers to-day refused to adopt articles of
federation. The plan presented to the con-
vention is understood to be the same as pre-
sented the convention at Atlanta.
Upon the suggestion of Chief
Arthur the convention appointed a commi-
ttee of five with instructions to prepar
a new proposition of federation which
shall be presented to each division of the
Brotherhood for their acceptance or reiec-
ton. Every lodge adopting this new plan
will be permitted to form a federation with
any labor organization named in the ar
ticle, such federation to stand only until
finally acted upon by the next annual
meeting at Pittsburg.
As Mr.. Arthur will have the appoint
ment of this committee, it is believed he
will name men who oppose the fedora
ton, and who will do little to bring about
its final adoption. The convention has vet
to audit few claims against the charity
fund, make some amendments in the insur-
ance rules, receive the report OF the Commit
tee on Constitution and Bylaws, whom it
will be rendy to adjourn. ys

Sheriff Dick, who arrested Mrs Almira

ting Attorney Morris, who placed them in
a carriage and had them conveyed to a pri-
vate residence, the location Of which be
will reveal to no one. There they were
kept all day and no one was permitted to

who had come to town to see if they could
identify the prisoners.

He did saw. however, that the man had
known the Blenders and that he had failed
to identify the prisoners as old
Mrs. Bender and Kate. When he knew
the Blenders 10 years ago, the old
woman could speak only German. Mrs.
Griffith. who is supposed TO be the old
woman, speaks perfect English without
hint at accent. Kate Bender, he told Mr..
Morris, bore no aresembIance whatever 70
Mrs. Davis.
There is no excitement whatever here over
the arrival of the prisoners. The people
are convinced that the vigilantes who, ID
wears ago, started out to avenge the Bender
murders, did their work well. and that no
member of the family is now alive. Former
acouaintances will be taken 10 see the pris-
oners tomorrow, in the endeavor to identify

ratson d'etre in affording vehicle for the
display Of astonishing feats Of pianism.
The pianist,s own yalse and Tausig's we'll
known transcription answered the
same purpose and little else. Any
piano solo (unaccompanied) seems
out of place in an orchestral concert; the
lovely and delicate Berceuse, particularly
50. But Mr.. Josefy played il so admirably
that ne can readily be pardoned; there was
q pretty dash of sentiment in his interpreta-
ton, and the flmy, pearly delicacy OF Its
flowing figures could hardly have been bet
ter brought out.
AT THE OTHER EXTREME
he was found wanting-a powerful, ringing
robust fortissilno seemed beyond his grasp.
In that drastic, rhythmic leading OF the
Fautasie, when first presented by the piano
alone in broad chords, the deficiency in
power was especially noticeable. So also
In the military march; the tone was dry and
short, without resonance. Maybe the
piano was doctored up to strike what =
pugilist might call tshort arm blow"
Mr.. Josefy has been accused of thus in
creasing his nimble and dainty effects at
the expense of strength and sonorousness.
In almost all other respects his playing
approached the limits Of pianistic skill.
MarVelOuSIY- clean ana rapid runs slngle
and in thirds; a rarely crisp staccato, alter
mating with fluent legato; limpid tone
under absolute control, and brilliance and
certainty Of executing the most forid pass
age work-these all marked Mr.. Josefy's
playing as upon high plane Of virtuosity.
A GRACEFUL RECOGNITION.
The addition of Mr.. Wilczek's name to
the programme was q graceful recognition
of that gifted young mans all too
brief connection with Pittsburg musi-
cal circles, even though he could
not fairly be expected to rival the
matured art of the other soloists. In the
suaye and grateful measures Of the Beetho-
ven romance, the young violinlst, kept we'll
within the bounds Of reyerence-so
much so as to limit the breadth
and freedom that should charac-
terize it. It was quite otherwise with the
sarasate piece. In its plaintively luscious
introduction as in the brilliant. roIlicking
tune that follows, Mr. Wilczek was master
of his instrument, his score and himseH,
and won an outburst Of applause only Sec
ond to that vouchsafed to Mr.. Josefy.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE sDIsPATcH.i
PHILADELPHI November 1-William
Henry Cresson, the defaulting cashier of
the Tradesmen's National Bank of Consho-
hocken, has not yet been found,
nor has penny of the stolen
money been located, although thorough
search of his house and vicinity has been
made. The general feeling expressed BY
the bank directors is that the cashier
is in Canada, but Squire Hay
ward, who issued the warrant for his
arrest, says unhesitatingly that he believes
that Cresson has not left Conshohocken at
all, and intimates that he thinks Cresson is
not the only guilty person connected with
the bank, r.-
Until late hour tonight United States
Examiner James and Cashier Sluigluf, Of
the Montgomery National Bank of Norris
town, worked diligently on the books of
the fugitive, which they found to
be in muddled condition. At
the close of their examination they
found that the defalcaiion reached nearly
SOC, 900. Cresson's mode of operation was
the usual one of making false entries in the
ledger. His daily accounts sheet was also
found to be crooked. He was in the habit
of recording hundreds of dollars less than
the regular deposits for the day.
