SOLDIERS OF He CROSS.
Their Labors in Death Valley AL
most Completed.

JoHNsTowN. Pa, Oct. 1.-THE labors
Of the Red Gross society in the devas-
tated Conemaugh valley are about COM
pIeted. The society will, in few days
withdraw from the scenes that have
been without parallel in the history
that organization. Miss Clara Barton,
through the columns of the Tribune, de
Iivers an address to the citizens of
JOnnstoWn, in which she reviews the
work performed since the 18th of
June, at which time the society
began the work of relief. Over 20
600 persons have received aid at
the hands of the Red Cross representa-
tives. Three thousand families have
been supplied with the articles neces-
ssary for re-establishment of home life.
Houses have been furnished, warmed
and lighted and passed into the hands
of local physicians for the use of home
LESS sick needing shelter and care. But
few applications for relief remain un-
served. Miss Barton recommends the
establishment of permanent local re-
lief organization and places at the dis
'pOSal of such committee the Red Cross
supply store room from which diStribu-
ton of relief can be continued. The
society will also place in the hands
of this committee all that may remain
of its supplies. after the presidents list
of applications have been filled. Pres
.ident John Hannah, of the board of in
qIiry, stated this evening that all bust
ness pertaining to the final distribution
of the relief fund has been completed
for classes 4 and numbering 1880 per
sons. Secretary Keimer said tonight
that in two weeks time, all of the
funds will have been distributed, and
all relief business closed.
At public meeting at the Red Cross
hospital tonight, woman's benevolent
association was organized and com
mitteeS appointed.

THE RUILnOZERS

1t Is given out that the administration
intends to adopt species of bulldOZing
tactics with regard to Montana. 1t is
currently reported in Washington, and
upon what seems to be reliable author
ity, that the president will forthwith
issue his proclamation admitting the
Dakotas and Washington into the
Union, but that the proclamation
of Montana's admission will be
postponed until the legislative con-
test in that state is ended.
If this course should be pursued. it
would be an outrage scarcely less in
famous than the attempt OF the Re-
publican managers to steal the legisla-
tive delegation from Silver Bow county.
Montana has complied with all the pro-
visions of the enabling act, and there is
no reasonable preteXt under which she
can be longer excluded from ad-
mission to the Federal Union. She
has adopted constitution and
elected a full staff of state officials,
and is as much entitled to be included
in the presidents proclamation of adj
inlSSlOu dS ClluCl VI bllS pluCA uCh
states. The legislative contest is mat
ter of purely local concern, with which
the federal government has no power to
interfere, and will be settled according
to the provision made for disposing of
legislative contests in the Montana state
constitution. Consequently, it is a
matter of no possible consequence to
the president whether the Silver
Bow delegates are Republicans or
Democrats. 1t is merely his business
to declare by proclamation that Mon
tana, having complied with the pro-
visions of the enabling act, is, by that
act, admitted as a free and sovereign
member of the federal family. We
know that President HARRISON has a
reputation for bullheadedness. and is a
partisan of the bitterest type, yet we
do not believe that he would go to the
extreme of attempting to bulldoze the
Montana Democrats into submission to
the villainous crime that has been per-
petrated against the ballot in that state.
The president ought to have some
counselors about him wise enough tC
warn him of the danger of such al
undertaking.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

Maryland expects to produce 10000
600 bushels of oysters this year.
The new postal card works at Shelton,
Ct, are turning out 1000 cards per min
ute, or 2, 40J, 900 in ten hours.
The deaths in London last year num-
bered rs. S4S, or 1875 per LOCO; in New
York. 40, IT'S, or 1858. and in Paris, 22.6
per LOCO.
The quantity of auriferous land al
ready known is 11.021 100000 cubic
meters, and the calculated value of the
precious metal 1t contains is no less
than 81, 500, 100000.
In comparison with the S36,000,000
worth of imports from Great Britain in
1887, the imports from the United States
to the Argentine Republic only amount
ed to S., 364,545.
Ireland in 1879 had 5,265.625 inhab-
itants. and the population just made up
for 1889 is but Att, 5S4. A decrease
like this is true of no other civilized
country in the world.
From the general results of the Swiss
census of Dec. l, 1885, which have al
ready been worked out, it seems that
the total population is 1884, 055, against
2,S46. l02 i'll 1880.
The school census of a state is a fair
indication of the Increase or falling Off
in numbers. Alabama shows 81 per
cent increase per year, or 80 per cent tor
a decade.
Statistics prepared by the railroad
commissioners of Iowa show that in
that state alone, with 5000 miles of rail-
road. 352 brakemen were killed or in
jured in 1888, because OF the use of the
common link-and-Din coupling and the
mandrake on freight cars.
Out of $4,000 federal offices only
1000 are covered by the civil service
law; but the-aggregate salaries of these
81 900 places is between $30,000,000 and
$4,000, 900, or nearly one-half of the az
gregate salaries of the appointive places
in the United States civil service.

WELCOMED BY STUDEN rs.
The All-American Excursionists
Visit the Wolverine Athens.

ANN ARBoR, Mich. Oct. 17.-At
O'Clock this afternoon the members OF
the AIl-American excursion party
alighted from their rolling palaces at the
depot here. They were met by the stu
dents of the university and delegation
of citizens, who escorted them to the
University of Michigan. Short adj
dresses of welcome were made. At 9
o'clock they were entertained at the
residence of Prof. Henry Rogers, and at
they visited the university buildings,
which they inspected. At 8 O'Clock
reception in honor of the distinguished
guests was held in the library of the
university which lasted two hours. The
travellers were then escorted to their
train, and at 10 o'clock they left for
Grand Rapids.
In response to the request OF Manager
Curtis, of the All-Ameriea's excursion.
which was sent to the future points to
be visited, desiring that out of
pity for the delegates they be
spared from further banquetS, etc,
the following dispatch was this even

A dispatch was delivered at the train
in Detroit, addressed to Hon. James G.
Blaine, care Pan-Ameriean congress,
requesting that the delegates visit
Elgin, ILL.,, for the purpose of inspecting
the industrial enterprises there. Mr..

1t is entirely probable that these con-
ditions are not peculiar to New York. Ii
the private correspondence on file in
the railway offices of the country
could be obtained for public use it would
probably disclose even more sensational
matter than is now engaging the atten-
ton of the New York politicians. The
singular part of the HIsCOCK exposure
is that these letters should have been
more carefully preserved than protected
by Mr.. DEPEw'S company. There APP
pears to have been method in the acct
dent by which they got into print; and
possibly, when Mr.. DEPEw enters the
contest for HIsCoCK's place in the SEN
ate. the public will have clearer I'M
derstanding Of how they found their
way to that junk shop. 1t has heretofore
been HIsCoCK'S strong point against
DEPEw that the latter was in favor with
the corporations. Now that HIsCoCK's
biggest gun is spiked, it is reasonably
certain that DEPEw will make SUI
preme effort to break into the senate.

NEVADA,s DILEMMA.

The dec cadence of Nevada as a state
has no element of novelty about it. The
facts are familiar to all intelligent
people, but it is recognized in that state
itself. perhaps, m0re sensibly than else
where, that it involves a difficulty that
must be faced in no remote period. 1t
is discussed there as an approaching
issue. Any theory that looks to the
bIOtting out of the state and return to
territorial condition is unpalatable. and
involves business features of more or
less Importance. One of its most lucra-
tive and salabIe productions, perhaps.
are its seats in the capitol at Washing
ton, Those in the senate are In high
demand by the San Francisco million
aires. Loss of statehood would do away
with this and destroy a prestige that
NAV have value. Votes in a terri
tory do not count much, and
when for sale have no generous
buyers. In the discussion OF the
subject in Nevada the most notable
proposition is to attach Utah. This
would insure the existence Of the state,
as Utah has much larger and growing
population and a greater variety of re-
sources. The objection raised is the
Mormons, but late Nevada paper fig

LETTERS That CAME.

Persons who write letters not intend
ed for the public eye should make pro-
vision for destroying them. Senator
FRANK HIsCoCK and number of other
prominent New York politicians have
occasion to recall Mr.. BLAINE's memo
rable advice on that subject. Whethe
by design or accident is not certain, but
by some means. a batch of pri-
vate letters belonging TO CHAUNCEY
NJ. DEPEw found their way to
junk shop in New York,
where they were discovered by the
eagle-eyed reporters, and are now going
tile rounds of the metropolitan press,
much to the discomfort of Senator HIS
COCK and his political allies. For the
most part these letters are personal ap-
peals to Mr.. DEPEW for free tranSpOrta-
ton over his railroad lines. Senator
HIscoCK wanted to take his family on
pleasure trip through the Western
states. There was no provision in the
interstate commerce law which he had
helped to frame, and had voted for,
granting deadhead privileges to sena-
tors and their families. In fact, it was
expressly interdicted by the law itself.
With their prOverbiaf stupidity, the rail-
road managers failed to see that this
clause of the interstate act was only in
tended to have Pickwickian meaning,
and they went right ahead enforcing if.
Just as if it had been inserted in good
faith. 1t was this extremity which
forced Senator HISCoCK into writing a
letter to Railroad President DEPEw,
and which was marked private and
confidential" both inside and out, re-
minding him of the eourtesies due to a
senator, which are supposed to be para
mount to laws and constitutions, and
then coolly soliciting deadhead tickets
for himself and five members of his
family from Syracuse to Kansas City
and return. Another letter from Speak

FOOLS OR POLICE SPIES.
Socialists Deu0unce Those Who
Kissed the Flag.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1Z.-The convention
of the SociaIistic Labor party came to
close to-day; and, after adjournment,
the delegates went in body to VALID
helm cemetery to decorate the graves
of the anarchists. The convention
adopted resolution concerning the
flag episode that occurred during Sum-
days mass meeting. The resolution de-
clared that those who Kissed the Amer
lean flag at the meeting were either
fools or police spies, and did so only t o
give the capitalistic press another op-
portunity to vent it's spite against So
calists and socialism. The convention
fixed upon Brooklyn as the seat of the
executive committee, upon Boston as
the seat for the board of appeals, and
New York as the seat for the party Or
CANS. The Brooklyn section are said to
be in entire harmony with the Schevitch
faction of the party. and will elect an
executive committee who will support
him in his attempt to control the So
cialists of America. The anti-Schevitch
faction, when assembled in convention
last month, chose Chicago as the seat of
the executive committee. The result
will be split in the socialistic party.
The convention did not select the time
and place for the next congress.
