AN OPINION WANTED.
The Recommendation of the Treasury
Department is Revealed.
A LAW SUIT MAY BE ENTERED.
Carbon Settlers Will Ask for Federation
Aid in Their Strike.
A PARADE ARRANGED FOR LABOR DAY

AT last it has been ascertained what the
Treasury Department really asked for in the
letter which was supposed to have been
written by Assistant Secretary Batcheller
to District Attorney Lyon, concerning the
Campbell case, and in which it was reported
that the department had made light of the
report and asked for further information.
These statements had been sent out from
Washington. and it was generally hinted at
by his prosecutors that President Campbell
was responsible for them. They denied this
emphatically, and the District Attorney
stated time and again that no letter had
been received asking for evidence.
As published yesterday, a meeting of
those who are prosecuting the case was held
in the office of Attorney William Bremen
for the purpose of further considering the
matter. At the meeting it was stated that
District Attorney Lyon had received let
ter from the department, in which he was
asked to say who, in his opinion, was guilty
of violating the law by bringing over the
English glassblowers. Mr.. Lyon has not
yet answered the question, but will do so
to-day or tomorrow. Whether suits will be
entered or not when the department receives
the information, is not yet known, but the
supposition is that the authorities in Wash
ington will make a move within the next
week or ten days. 1t is expected to result
in proceedings being instituted against
either Chambers & Mckee or James Camp
bell and other officers of L. A. 300, Knights
of Labor. One of the gentlemen interested
in the case, but who does not desire that his
name be used, said:
81 think it strange proceeding for the
department to ask who is the guilty party.
In his recommendation Mr.. Lyon gave the
names of all the parties who were charged
with bringing the men over. He gave all
the evidence he could get without putting
himself in the light of prosecutor. or saying
who he thought was guilty. 1t was his
place to make fair and impartial state
ment of the facts, and the department was
expected to pass judgment on the case.
SIT was the duty of the Assistant Secre-
tary, as he had already taken up the case,
to decide from the evidence, who brought
the men to this country. Instead OF doing
that, he turns around and asks the District
Attorney for an opinion. The latter will
give it within few days, and something
may then be developed. You may rest as
sured that somebody will be prosecuted, but
who it is will depend upon what Mr.. Lyon
reports. We are working on the case every
day, and are securing a great amount OF
new evidence"

DEMOCRATIC CHATS.
Mr.. Bremen Claims n Big Victory for HE
Faction of the Party.

Faction of the Party.
Mr.. VIM. Bremen was seen yesterday
and asked how the Democratic primaries
had gone. He proceeded to give some fig
ures that look rather diseouraging to the
"Old Guard" Mr.. Bremen said:
s'In the Third district we carried 19x
delegates out of 80. In the Fifth district
we made sweep. We have go delegates
and the others have only 81. In the Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth districts we have car-
ried the entire eight delegates by the con-
fession of the "Old Guard" who admit that
they did no work in those three districts.
Yes, know the names, but 1 am not giving
them out. On the entire Southside, Mr..
O'Leary's special bailiwick. we carried 80
out of 40 delegates, with one in doubt. So
they say that we have got to carry the fight
to Harrisburg. Well, we shall be right
there. They have been beaten here, and
they needn't think that they can carry a
losing fight to Harrisburg and help them
selves any,"
One of Mr.. O'Leary's adherents remarked
sententiously that brag was good dog, but
holdiast would triumph in the end.

DELAYED BY COUNCILS.

Work on the Birmingham Traction Held
Back on This Account.
Mr.. II. Sellers Mckee said yesterday that
work on the Birmingham bridge was being
delayed because of the impossibility of Sc
curing a quorum in Councils. Such work
as can be done while the ordinances were
not forthcoming is being pushed mean-
while.
The piece of land secured as the site of
the power house combines many admirable
advantages. Engines and cables can be
house, and should coal become necessary as
a means of steam generation, mine is
within few feet of the boilers. The power
house will cost $500 according to present
plans. 1t will be handsome and spacious
structure, and will be an ornament to the
lower Southside.

The A. C. M. U. Embody Some Good Rules
in Their Constitution.
The members OF the Allegheny County
Musicians Union had meeting yesterday
afternoon in the rooms of the Mozart Club,
at the corner Of Seventh avenue and Smith
field street, for the purpose of reorganizing
that body, and also to form new constitu-
tion and bylaws. One of the members pres
ent stated after the meeting that the society
is anxious to infuse its members with a
higher aim than the mere maintenance of
a certain price for their services. The
union will have the elements of a musical
training school, and weekly rehearsals will
be one of the features in the newly-organ-
lied body. One of the largest orchestras in
the county is to be formed from the men,
bers of the association.
An examining board was appointed yes
terday afternoon. The object of this board
is to subject any applicant Tor membership
to a rigid examination of his abilities. Only
men who have exceeded the ordinary stand
ard of orchestral experience and who are
thoroughly conversant with music will be
admitted.
Another meeting for the purpose of per-
fecting the new organization will be held
next FRIDAY.

USHERS ON A STRIKE.
The Regular Staff of Butler Street M. e
Church Was Ignored.

The evening of the reopening of the But
Ter Street NJ. E. Church and the dedication
of the new organ, the committee who had in
charge the festal services appointed a corps
of special ushers, to see that the audience
were properly seated. There was regular
staff of ushers for the Sunday services, who
allege they were capable of discharging the
duties devolving upon them at this special
service, but the committee completely ig-
nored them and gave their places to green
hands.
On the Sunday following the opening
night a meeting was held, when the ushers
decided to 60 out on strike, and from that
time to the present the Butler street NJ. E.
Church has been without them. The COM
mittee say that they were justified in taking
the course they did. Such services only trans
pire once within the life of a church, and it
was their desire to give the reopening as
much prestige as they could. Ever since
the occurrence great bitterness has been
felt by the ushers, but it is expected that a
satisfactory settlement may be come to be-
fore the real season for church life opens.

The Men Are Known.

Three men attacked and knocked down
Mrs. Spence on the hill above Twenty
eighth street last evening. Her companion,
Mrs. Robinson, finding protest vain, ran
down the hill and gave the alarm to the
police. Lieutenant Teeters went up the
hill and found Mrs. Spence lying in a
stupor. She was conveyed to the Twelfth
ward station house, where she still re-
mains. She gave the names of the men to
Lieutenant Teeters. They are wellknown
to the police, and will very likely be ar
rested before tomorrow.
