Miss KATE FIELD.

Aspirations.
CONSULAR REPORT ON MoRMoNs
In NorWay-fhe UniOh Pacific 70 Enter San
Francisco Enthusiastic Reception TO
Governor Hill in Georgia.

Especial to THE HERALp-Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-hIiss Kate Field.
author and lecturer, is seized with a fancy
to try her hand at educational work. She
has been in Washington for a week or
more, studying the possibilities of this city
as home for a newspaper Of her own.
Her first idea was that one of the Journals
already established here might be available
as purchase; but nothing came of this.
and her thoughts have been more occupied
of late with project for starting brand
new one. If she carries out the plans at
present in her mind, the product will be
weekly, devoted to topics of general inter
est, national rather than local in scope,
and bearing her personal impress in every
department.
There are thousand topics continually
coming up for discussion she remarked to
your correspondent, ION which 1 want to
speak, and | want to say it in my own way
paper controlled by me and bearing my
name, would offer the vehicle, without in
volviug anybody else in the responsibility
for my views. l should not make it
merely polemical paper either. 1t should
be many sided. l should want it to deal
with politics, literature, art, society bust
ness, amusements, in short, to be paper
for the men and women of America in
which every one with live mind would
find something to interest him. Do you
get my ideaa l have no liking for that
kind OF journalism which simply mirrors
public opinion. 1t seems to me it should
be real journalists duty, as well as his
pleasure, to shape the thoughts of his
generation, not to submit his own to be
shaped by it. Horace Greely had right
views on the subject"
GLOW soon do you expect to get to workf''
she was asked.
''Oh dear, that is something which can
not be answered in an instant. Friends
with whom have consulted have advised
me to wait till spring; but l would rather
take advantage of the active season and
make my start about the LIST of January.
However, everything is too chaotic to jus
tify any prophecy as to the exact date. L
am spending my time profitably now talk
ing and corresponding with persons whose
judgment respect, and who can give me
suggestions. Anything in the way of a
bright idea is welcome, and 1 shall make
use of whatever is offered that appeals to
me-"

Brotherhool of Railway Brakemen.

ST. PAUL, Oct 16.-The important fea-
lures of this mornings session of the
Brotherhood of Railway Brakemen were
the officers reports, which contained some
important suggestions. Vice Grand Mas
ter Slattery, of Butte, said he was in favor
of changing the name of the order 10
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,' - Us at
least one-third of the membership IS maze
up of conductors, baggagemel and others.
Another OF his recommendations is in re
gard to relief schemes that are just now
being pushed forward by several of the
leading railroads of this country, namely,
the Philadelphia * Reading, Baltimore &
Ohio and Burlington & Quincy. His adj
vice to the members was for them to in
vestigate all schemes of this kind carefully,
and he was sure they would arrive at the
same conclusion regarding them as he had,
and that was to let them alone as they
were only snare to draw them on and
make them slaves to their employer.
Chairman and Secretary and Treasurer
O'Shea's report gave valuable statistics con-
corning the growth and state of the order.

Protested Against the Jute Trust Monopoly.


Especial to TIE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch |
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 16.-An antique
wedding ceremony took place here yester-
day, a wedding serving to illustrate and
advance the fight made by the Farmers
Alliance of North Carolina against the
much hated and execrated Jute trust. The
Farmers Alliance numbers $1,000, and
so strong and so vigorous has been their
onslaught upon the detested monopoly that
no iute bagging is handled, although the
trust in its despair is offering it at 2 cents
pound. But to still further accentuate
the victory of the Alliance, Mr.. William NJ.
Bateman, an enthusiastic young farmer
and the secretary OF a county branch of the
Alliance, made up his mind to be publicly
married at the state fair grounds in cos
tune made of cotton bagging, the fabric
which the Alliance has by formal resolu-
ton adopted as a material for cotton. The
bridesmaids and groomsmen, all from
well known Alliance people, were secured.
Arrangements were perfected for enter
tanning the bride and bridegroom after the
ceremony and official notices of the we'd
ding were sent oft. As the State Alliance
was called to meet here at the fnir, the day
was set down as a gala occasion, which the
members anticipated with pleasure. Many
presents were sent III anu nave DeGn UlS-
played for some time. Just after noon
yesterday the bridal party arrived at the
fair grounds, having been escorted from
the city by large procession, comprised
of the bridegroom, who is twenty nine
years of age, his groomsmea, the bride
elect, Miss Josephine Howlc and her
bridesmaids.
The ceremony was performed in the
Judges stand in front OF the
grand stand in which there wers
thousands OF people. d. I. How e
and several state officials were present;
also Vice-President S. b. Alexander, of
the National Farmers Alliance, and other
prominent men. The couple were married
by the Rev j. Scott, chaplain of the State
Alliance, who is blind. The bride was
dressed in white cotton bagging effectively
made up, and trimmed with buff satin.
Her bonnet was adorned with cotton bios
SONS and balls. The bridegroom was also
arrayed in cotton bagging and wore cotton
balls in his hat. His groomsmen were
similarly attired, while the bridesmaids
Wore cotton bagging sashes.
Upon the completion of the ceremony,
Governor Fowle congratulated Mr.. and
Mrs. Bateman and then presented the wed
ding gifts, saying that the people of North
Carolina had chosen this way of showing
their appreciation of this public expression
of popular feeling against trusts. This
happy COUPLE" said he, ''show in their own
persons that iute bagging will never be
king in North Carolina"
He offered his congratulations on behalf
of all the good people OF the state.

AFTER THE PRESIDENT.
John Dewey Assails Harrison for Trying to
Block the Cronin Prosecution.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-John Dewey, of New
York, made strange declaration yester-
day. In an interview here he said:
Everything is being done in Washington
to embarrass and harass the prosecution in
the Cronin case, and the influence of the
Trianglers has but just now been success
fully vented to capture one of the most i'm
portant and lucrative appointments in New
York city. | will take the responsibility
of saying that the Severest blow that the
prosecution has yet received has been ad-
ministered by the hand of President Har-
rison, who last week appointed to the Of
flee of collector of internal revenue for
the second distrit of New York the chief
Triangle in the east. l mean General
Michael Kerwin. This appointment is
even more disgraceful and unwarranted
than that of the other Triangle, Patrick
Egan, as minister to Chill, because Mr..
Harrison has made it with his eyes open
and knowing well what he was doing.
Kerwin's appointment means the employ
ment of more than twenty thick and thin
Trianglers, whose salaries will be drawn
upon to aid in defeating the ends of Justice
in the Cronln case.
81 make this statement deliberately, and
repeat tnat Will take the responsibility
for what say. Kerwin is one of the men
in whose interest DR.. Cronin was muir
dered. And he has been among the most
active since the murder in circulating the
infamous falsehood, knowing it to be SUCH
that Cronin was British spy. He has also
been active in the collection of money for
the defense of the prisoners, himself con-
tributing $1,000. Kerwin had no one be
hind him but Tom Platt, and the mysteri-
Gus but potent influence of the Trianglers.
If President Harrison will not heed the
warning given in good faith to him by dis
interested friends, he has only himself and
Secretary Blaine tG blame. Those warn
ings are TO be verified at the polls"
