A Preaching jockey.

MrsKEGoN, MICH, September 12.-Ihe
district conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, assembled here. has on its docket
the case of Rev. ]. W. Arney, the liberal
minded Methodist minister of Saranac, who
owns and loves speedy horses, and not many
weeks ago gave little trot of his own. The
Rev. gentleman has been cited to explain his
conduct, and the fact that the surplus funds
from the meeting were applied to the reduc-
ton of the church debt has not tended to
assuace the wrath of his elder brethren.
Pastor Arney takes the grounds that there Is
nothing in Divine writ which prohibits a
preacher of the Word from admIring God 8
creation in the matter of footed ANIMALS,
ana despite circumstances he has not only
maintained but also increased his stable.
Pastor Arney himself is not at all worried
over the outlook. his flock at Saranac sticks
bv him and he knows it. He has preached
MANY a sermon and drawn many a moral
lesson from his stable, and in so doing. As he
saws himself, he has brought forth fruits for
repentance. As TO the right of the confer
ence to take action IN the matter. Pastor
Arney saws: ''The church cannot dictate to
me what l shall do, or what l shall not do
beyond a certain limit. am not going out
of nv way in the least to apologize or at
temnt a yiudication. l have done nothing
wrong. and am perfectly willing to abide By
the result. If I see hit to give another horse
race in the future that is my affair. and do
not concede that a church has any night to
interfere with me so long as / serve my peO-
ole as a pastor" His congregation are very
fond of him, and back him through thick
and thin In the contest.

The American Hog.

NEW YORK, September ia meeting OF
the Union League club was held with Mr..
Chauncey NJ. Depew in the chair. General
W. L. Sherman was on the platform. Mr..
Depew made speech. He thanked the club
for its cordial welcome upon his return from
abroad, and said: ''Of all the great Ameri-
cans known on the other side, not even ex-
cepting General Grant, none are so well
known as James G.. Blaine and William Nc
kinley. They seem to regard Mckinley as
man who has been studying up economic
subjects and has invented new scheme by
which to close up the factories of Europe
and s.arse the people into submission to the
American government. They piled me with
questions as 10 Mckinley, tried to get an ex-
preston as to the nature of the man, what
he is going to do with all the people abroad.
/ replied that my notion of Mckinley was
that possibly he had an idea of inducing
them to migrate with all their factories and
workmen to the great American country and
thus help give greater consuming power to
the agricultural products. Inasmuch as
some of the great governments abroad had
taken notion that they did not want to be
on familiar terms with the American hog,
the best they could do was to increase the
consuming capacity of the American hog at
home"

The house was called to order by Speaker

by the chaplain, after which Mr.. O'Ferral, of
Virginia, raised the point that there was no
quorum present. The speaker pro. tenn. be-
ing unable to count quorum. Mr.. Hamlin,
of Wisconsin moved call of the house.
On his way to the capital the speaker was
warmly greeted by both republicans and
democrats. and received congratulations on
all hands. Later in the day he held sort of
impromptu reception in the house commit

His reason tor not Immediately taking tho
chair, was because he thought it proper that
MIR. Burrows should himself announce the
fact that he tMr. Burrows) had signed a
number of bills which had passed the house.
At , O'Clock Speaker Reed gave lunch to

Mississippi's Constitution.

JACKSON, Mss, September 13.-Judge
Calhoun. president of the constitutional
convention, occupied the floor for nearly
two hours IN support of his electoral college
plan. He did not propose to mince matters
and hide behind a subterfuge, but If asked
by anybody if it was the purpose of the con-
vention to restrict negro suffrage he would
frankly answer, "Yes, that is what we are
here for.'' The fiat has gone forth that
fraud, force and intimidation must cease,
aud If the convention failed to insure white
supremacy by peaceful methods, he would,
in case negro was hereafter killed in po-
htical riot, regard himself and every men,
Der of. the convention as accessory to the
murder. The speaker then made an elabor-
ate constitutional argument to prove that
the plan he favored was republican In form.
1t will be remembered that this plan d.
vides the state into thirteen electoral DIS
tricts, eight of which will have a white ma
jority. and that these electors shall elect all
state and county officers and the state SEN
ate, the legislature alone to be elected by the
peCple.)

POwderlV and Arthur.

NEW YORK, September 13.-If certain
things that are being whispered in the inner
circles of the brotherhood of locomotive en-
gineers are true, it is not surprising that
Chief Arthur contemptuously ignored the
request made of him by Mr.. Powderly dur
ing the recent strike to define the position of
the engineers. According to prominent
member of the brotherhood the entire cores
pondence that passed between Powderly
and Vice President Stone, of the Chicago,
Burlington q Quincy road during the men,
orable strike on that road is in the hands of
Chief Arthur and his fellow officers. 1t is
declared by people who are supposed to
know that the publication of this correspond
ence, whatever Its tenor may be, would COM
pei the immediate resignation of Powderly
as an officer Of the knights. While it is not
claimed that Chief Arthur is holding the
correspondence in question as a club over
the head of his fellow labor leader, the fact
remains that Powderly, beyond bis first let
ter, has not sought to repeat the demands
upon the engineers that they should keep
hands off

STRUCK BY A CYCLONE.
West Virginia Visited by a Ter
ribie Wind Storm.
Not a Living Thing Left in the
Path OF the Storm-The Most Fatal
Cyclone Experienced in Many
Years.

PARKERsBuRG, w. Va, September 1o.-A
report of terrible cyclone reached here
from Roam and Jackson counties. The
storm passed near lie Roy and Meadowville,
in Jackson county, going in a northeasterly
direction. 1t struck the earth near the farm

Anew International Question.

CHICAGO, September 13.-An international
question of some Importance is involved in
the difficulties between the captain of the
Canadian schooner Sligo and the officials of
the seamen's union. The Sligo arrived at
Chicago with non union shipping crew of
four men. The seamen were ''seen" by a
sailor committee from the union and the re-
suits are the crew will not continue in the
service of the Sligo, although she claims TO
have explicit agreements with all of them.
The captain charges that the unions have in
terfered with the rights of Canadian seamen,
and has made formal complaint to James
Hayes, the British consul here. The latter
will make an effort to have the matter
clearly and officially defined and brought to
a settlement. President J. c. Elderking of
the seamen's union said: ''The non-union
men aboard the Sligo were working for $50
month, while the boat with it's American
charter carries American freight to and from
American ports. The men in the union get
81 day, or three times the amount paid the
Canadians.
when the vessel came here the men came
up in the city, and finding the superior ad-
vantages of the union, both as regards wages
and fraternal benefits, some of them joined
our union at once, and all voluntarily de-
clned to return to their work at the low
wages they were receiving. All that our Or
ganization does is in the interest of Ameri-
can labor and American shipping interests"

with these words: "The labor question has
come to the front and cannot be relegated tc
oblivion. Its solution is become inevitable
The only influence which can be of any avail
is the cooperation and wisdom of the Cath
Ole church" The object of the conference
is to discuss social questions, and the genera
policy of the church toward labor, organized
and unorganiZed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 12.-Mr.
Dunnell, of Minnesota, chairman of the
house committee of the eleventh census, in
troduced an apportionment bill on the basis

DEs MONIES, IA, September 1.-THE Iowa
railroad commissioners are preparing for
another tussle with the railroads of the state
IN the courts. This is caused by firm de-
termination on the part of the commission
ers to give the people of the state joint rates
and the equally firm determination on the
part of number of the leading railroads
not to submit to further dictation at the
hands of the commissioners. In response it
was deemed public demand of the last leg
islature which passed law establishing Joint
rates. The railroads resisted enforcement
OF the law on the ground of unconstitution-
atty, and Judge Fairall, of Iowa City, has
issued permanent Injunction restraining
the commissioners from attempting to en-
force 1t. Pending an appeal to the supreme
court the commissioners determined to at
tain the desired end by another means. Re-
lying upon the original railroad law of Iowa,
which gives the commissioners power to
make rates, they issued an order August
establishing what they termed "Rates for a
continuous haul over two or more roads"
The order was to go into effect August Is,
but at that time none of the roads showed
any disposition to adopt it. A week later
the commission addressed letter to each
general manager asking whether or not his
road expected to obey the commissioners or
not. As only about half of the Iowa roads
have signifed their intention of complying
with the commissioners request, Attorney
General Stone has been instructed TO COM
mence mandamus proceedings to compel the
adoption of the joint rate rule against the
following roads:
The Iowa Central, Chicago. Rock Island L
Pacific, Chicago Northwestern, Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Chicago, Bur
lington Quincy. These suits will be Wig
orously prosecuted.
