In THE Senate yesterday BILL CHANDLER
presented petition for the establishment
of a republican form of government in the

thing in nutshell. CHANDLER and his
party want to establish Republican form
government in Mississippi, but the good
people of that state do not want it. The
good people will have their way.

MURDERED CAPTAIN DAWSON.

While Requiem Services Are Held His
Murderer Drives Down the Street.
A touching sight was witnessed in
Charleston, s. c., on the anniversary OF
the murder Of Captain f. w. Dawson by
Dr. 7. B. Mellow. Solemn High Mass
o. Requiem was celebrated at the
Cathedral by Bishop Northrop, Mgr.
Quigley and q number Of the clergymen
of the diocese. The widow and children
of the murdered man were present, as
were also all the children of the Catho-
lie orphan asylums and hundreds of
prominent citizens. The women
Charleston of all creeds were present in
large mum bers. There were no sermons
or eulogies, but there were few dry
eyes in the congregation.
A somewhat singular feature of the
service was the fact that murderer Nc
Dow drove in buggy down King street
while the congregation was dispensing.
Mellow, whose residence adjoins that
of his victim, has had his Office repaired
recently. The blood-stalns on the floor
have been obliterated, and the closet in
which he tried to bury the body of his
victim has been nailed up. He has been
expelled from the medical society, but
is still practising. lie has clientage
among few white persons and a good
many negroes.

cRIsPrs LAUNDERING POLICY.

The French Minister to Berlin Gives His
Views ON Fsismarck's Retirement.
M. Beneditti, French Minister to
Berlin from 1864 to 1870 in an interview
said that the retirement of Prince Bis
marck gave no reason for alarm.
The onI danger to European peace,
he said, was found in the laundering
methods of the Italian Premier, which
might possibly lead to the bankruptcy
o: Italy.
The persistent war which Crispi has
succeeded in maintaining against the
Vatican has only added to the condem-
nation he is receiving from all quart
ers, said Mr.. Beneditti.
Crispi and his supporters are losing
friends in their own country, and 1t IS
really questionable at the present time
whether they could get the support
necessary to defend their interest at
home, much less to aggravate dlstur-
bance.
It would be a hard matter for Italy to
raise any considerable amount OF money
Mt this time from abroad owing to the
strained relations with the Vatican,
which necessarily makes moneyed men
charry concerning their stability

ing hope. we shall work cheerfuny'

POPELEO'S ADVICE,
All European Nations in Need of His Wis


All European Nations in Need of His Wis
dom and Counsel.
That the entire European nation
advice could be secured and carried
out is now plainly apparent.
He holds that the existence OF i'm
mense armies which are draining the
health of Europe and inficting great
suffering upon the toiling masses is
ANTI Christian. The German Emperor
wrote an autograph letter, inviting the
Pope to send an en- bassador to the
Berlin Labor Conference. In reply the
Pope sent an autograph letter, saying
he could not take part unless his repre-
sentative was given precedence over all
the delegates. Then the Emperor
wrote another letter urging the Pope
in the interests of mankind to take
part in the Conference, so far as he
could, and at least give it his moral
support. To this the Pontiff has
warmly responded.
The Pope has written document
dealing with the entire problem raised
at Berlin. This has been alphabetically
communicated to the Papal Nuncio in
Germany, and will be laid before the
International Conference. There is no
doubt that great movement is on foot
to give the Pope leading part in the
effort to deal with the universal labor
troubles. His Holiness recognizes this
as great opportunity for the Church to
put itself at the head of the world wide
reform demanded by organized labor.
He holds that nations must adopt the
principles of Chris tianity, and that the
Church is the only power competent to
deal with the tremendous issues in
volved in the social and industrial
movement
The German Emperor has frankly
admitted that the governments cannot
accomplish much unless organized
Christianity comes to their aid. In
this crisis the Pope has spoken in no
uncertain voice. as will be seen when
his address is made public.
Jtis admitted that if the millions of
armed men who tranple upon the bread
trays of the POOR were stripped of their
uniforms and set to work creating
wealth, great deal of the present dis
tress in Europe would disappear. One
nation dare not begin to disarm before
another, and the Pope is now in posi-
ton to negotiate between the nations
for general disarmament.

CANNOT NURSE LEPERS.
sister Rose Gertrude Meets With Disap-
pointment at Mo!Okai.

DR.. j. M. Whitney of Honolulu, has
arrived in San Francisco on the
steamer Australia. He says that Sis
ter Rose Gertrude. the English girl
who was anxious to nurse lepers at Mo-
lokai, will not become an exile in the
leper settlement and perhaps die there,
as she anticipated. The settlement of
Molokai is in charge of the sisters of
the Sacred Heart, who are maintained
there by the Hawaiian Government, and
as Sister Rose Gertrude belongs to an
other order-the Dominican Sisters
she cannot be admitted.
She is therefore at Kalili, the receiv-
ing station for lepers, or those who are
supposed to have contracted the disease
There they are cared for until it can be
determined what their ailment really is.
DR.. Whitney says she is very comforta-
BILE at Kalili and not isolated, though
she is disappointed in her expectations.

INTERESTING CONFERENCE
Between Labor Leaders and Third Vice
President webb.

Between Labor Leaders and Third Vice
President webb.
NEW York, Aug. 90. Wednesday af-
ternoon Messrs. Powderly and Devlin
waited upon Mr.. Webb in order, as
stated by the executive board Of the
knights, to give the company every op-
portunity to bring the strike to an end.
In the interview they had with the third
vice president Me.srs. Powderly and
Devlin repeated the offer which the
knights have made from the beginning.
that they would declare the strike off il
the company would agree to submit the
cases Of the discharged men to the in
vestigation of disinterested outside
parties, on the understanding that il it
should be shown that ii there was no
cause for the discharge of any men 9TH
er than their connection with the
knights of Labor, such men should be
reinstated III their positions, the repre-
sentutives Of the Knights Of Labor
agreeing to bind themselves TO abide by
the decision of finding Of the investi-
gators Mr.. Webb positively refused to
agree to this request.
In the interest of peace Mr.. Pow
derly even went so far as to ask Mr..
Webb, in view of the conflicting state
ments of the men and the com
pany's officials, if he would con-
sent to meet tho discharged men and
allow him (Mr. Powderly) to question
them III Mr.. Webb's presence upon the
charges Of the company against thCln.
Mr.. Webb refused to entertain this
proposition
Mr.. Toucey, who came into the room
during the interview, reiterated the oft
made statement that they would insist
upon their right to discharge any of
their employees without assigning u rea-
eon for doing SO, and that they would
not admit the right of any
labor organization or committee Of such
organization to intervene in the mat
ter.
Being asked if they took the position
that II railroad was private property
of the company, and whether the en-
ployes Of the company or the public
had any right 10 question the action of
the management, they hesitatGd and at
last took refuge III II silence, which the
representatives, Of the knights in vain
tried to break. The latter said that if it
was the policy 81 the company not to
admit that whether the public or en-
ployes had amy right in the premises, it
was useless to waste time or words on
the matter, and shortly after withdrew,
