a POLITICAL SCHEME.
Senator Quay Pushing Chicago's Clair
for the Worlds Fair.

Senator Quay Pushing Chicago's Claim
for the Worlds Fair.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Quay is
doing everything he can to help Chicago
get the worlds fair of 1892. This simple
statement covers a great deal of political
scheming. If Quay is not candidate for
the presidential nomination in 1892, with
solid Pennsylvania delegation at his back,
he will be there to name the party candi-
date from among the other competitors for
that honor. AS chairman of the republican
national committee, he proposes to use all
his influence to gather votes against that
great day. Now, of all the rival claim
ants for the worlds fair, Oh icago is
the only one which proffers any
political promises in return for support and
assistance. Her representatives profess to
be able to promise extensive western sup
port to both republicans and democrats who
espouse their cause. Mr.. Quay has closed
with them SO far as republican delegates
to the next national convention are con-
cerned. If Mr.. Quay can effect it, Chicago
will get the worlds fair. He is already at
work with his friends in the Senate,
and his followers in the House
are using whatever arguments promise to
be most effective in each case, and occa-
sionally revealing his political purpose in
speaking with the more confidential among
them. With Pennsylvania, the south and
the southwest at his back, Quay will be a
formidable figure in the national conven-
tion of 1892

Catholic church.
The walls of the new cathedral are nearly
twenty feet high. They are constructed of
Connecticut brownstone, and are identical
with the old structure.
DISTINGUISHED CHURCHMEN.
Among the distinguished churchmen
present were Cardinal Gibbons, Bishop
Moore of st. Augustine, Abbott Leo Haide

Hvered q sermon.

copalian. Tuesday morning the visiting
prelates win breakfast at the residence Of
Maj. Andrew Simonds, who has the distinc-
tion Of being the youngest national bank
president iii the United States.
THE NEW BUILDING.
The erection of the new cathedral was
begun in 1888. and it is now well advanced.
A member Of the vestry of the old church,
John McKeegan, left an estate valued at
about $50, 900 for its building, and this fund
has been added to by other bequests. The
new building, it is estimated, will cost about
100000, and will be erected on the lines Of
the old building.

THEY LOCKED OUT THE PAsroR
Fight for-the Possession OF a Church
Near Baltimore.


BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 12.-There is a
very lively fight in progress over the pos
session Of the Tome Street Presbyterian
church, in Canton, between the pastor, Rev.
j. Wynne Jones, and the trustees, headed
by John p. Williams Before Mr.. Jones
took charge 1t was a Welsh Independent
Congregationalist church. To this denomi-
nationl the trustees and their faction want
the church to return. Mr.. Jones and his
followers object to this
While a resident of Princeton, N. j., ten
years ago, Mr.. Jones received a call from
the Tome street church. He accented and
Immediately took charge of it. The church
was then turned over, Internationally. to
the Baltimore Presbytery. The form of
worship was Presbyterian, just as much so
as In any other Presbyterian church, except
that the sermons were preached in the
Welsh language. The old Welshmen OBJ
lected to this, but finally accepted the
change.
About five years ago Mr. Jones took
charge of Abbott Chapel, Highlandtown,
and moved out there. The Tome street
congregation demonstrated, but were
gradually won over. Some of the older
members of the church, particularly the
board Of trustees, could never become rec
onciled. They said the pastor was neglect
ing the church TO which he had been called,
devoting most Of his time to the Abbott
church. Iu July, they notified him and the
Sunday school superintendent, Evans Jones.
warm friend of the pastor, that they
would be obliged to vacate on Aug. l. Mat
ters were again smoothed over, and Mr..
Jones continued to preach.
Last Sunday, however, the board of
trustees, who claim the right Of calling or
dlsmissing pastor, determined TO take de-
cisive steps toward that end. Yesterday
they went to the church. locked it, and
hung out a notice that the church was
closed for repairs. Since then they have
refused TO admit the pastor, Sunday school
superintendent, or any one not favorable to
their side.
Rev. Mr.. Jones insists that the church is
Presbyterian charge, and he proposes TO
hold it. The trustees are just as deter
mined that he shall vacate, and in case they
succeed they will take the church from the
Presbyterian charge, and call it the Welsh
Independent Congregational church. The
tight will be carried into the courts. Pres
byterians are watching the outcome with
much interest.

defy any one to show to the contrary. There

pear that he was not the choice of the Ohio

the people of our state are concerned, it
has been a signal failure. The lead

for some ground on which to complain. All
of the senatorial candidates acquiesce in the
result, and there will be no bolt. you may

In the House.

The regular House committees, have gen.
orally completed their organization, but
none of them have so far progressed in their
work as to be able to present any legisla-
tive material for action Of the House this
week. The special committee on the
Silcott defalcation, however, has COM
pleted its labors, and expects to
present its report and q bill to the
House tomorrow. Within a day or
two thereafter Chairman Adams will call
for consideration of the bill and report, and
long debate is likely to follow.
THE NEW RULES.
The indications are that the long-expected
code of new rules will be reported from the
committee on rules this week. The men,
bers of the minority are generally con-
versant with the changes in the old code
that are in contemplation, and are prepar-
ing themselves for a vigorous attack upon
the committees report, which, as they I'M
derstand, proposes to seriously curtail their
power to affect legislation. Parliamenta-

fortifying themselves to meet the attack, so
that, if the present indications are borne
out, this week will probably witness the first
decisive conflict Of the opposing parties in
