The, Democratic County Committee Sets
the Date for its Convention.
A yell attended meeting of the Demo-
cratie County Committee was held in Com

terday forenoon. Chairman H. T. Watson
said that the object of the meeting was to

THE BAYNE MASS MEETING.

A Rally of 1000 of the CoIoneI's Friends
in AIlegheny-SOme shira. Men in the
AssembIage-speech of the Congress-
man.
Although not packed meeting by large
majority, the Thomas N. Bayne rally, which
met at Union Rink, Allegheny, last night
was attended by more than a few of the
friends OF Shiras, as evidenced by the fact
that whenever Bayne's friends made any de-
monstrations of enthusiasm in his favor the
Shiras crowd showed they could yell nearly
as long and as loud as the opposition. Much
interest was manifested in the meeting, and
some time before order was called a large
crowd convened in the street in front of the
building.
The meeting was called to order by Chair
man Thomas NJ. Jones, and following a
speech by Mr. James Bradley, the hero of
the evening, Colonel Bayne was introduced
amid loud applause. 81 wish to speak
first of those who have asked what 1 have
done for my district, he said, after some
preliminary remarks. "The great bulk OF
the millions OF dollars that has gone into
the Davis Island dam has been appropriated
since entered Congress"
lhe Speaker also referred 10 MS personal
influence in securing the Allegheny public
building appropriation, the provision in the
river and harbor bill looking to the pur-
chase OF the Monongahela Company's locks,
and his connection with other and larger
appropriations of national Importance. He
waxed eloquent on the Chinese emigration
question, and amid much applause, stated
that he had always voted to exclude foreign
manner labor which came into competition
with the American workingmen.
1.-THE silver of the country should be
turned into money" he continued, and
touched on the Federal election laws. He
made extended mention of the Mckinley
tariff bill, and spoke OF it as the best measure
of its kind ever passed in Congress.
A hearty cheer was given at the close of
the speech, mingled with cries OF ''Shiras."
The Committee on Resolutions, Thomas
West, James Leymon and Jerry Evans,
Immediately presented an Endorsement of
Colonel Bayne's canvass, which was unani-
adopted. At $50 the meeting ad-
iourned,

ANorHER CONVENTION CALLED.

Miners Fail to Secure a Settlement OF the
Dead Work Scale.
The effort to come to an understanding on
dead work scale between employers and
mine workers has failed, the committee be-
ing refused conference. Yesterday call
was issued for another convention, as fol-
lows:
PITTsBURG, May "a, 1890.
To the Miners, Drivers and Day Laborers Of Pitts
burg District No. s.:
Having failed to effect settlement OF your
dead work scale with the operators we deem II
necessary to call a convention in Pittsburg on
Friday, May 30, at K of L. Hall, lOl Fifth ave-
nue., at 10 A. M, for the purpose of adopting the
pest method of pu, ting the scale into erect
Come instructed as to what you propose TO do
HUGH MCLAUGHLIN, President.
JAMES BOYD. Secretary.
The call for the convention is due to the
failure of the conference com mittee to reach
settlement on Friday. The committee
was in session all afternoon, and adjourned
without doing anything. The difficulty
seems to hinge on the workmen in Scotts
mines, who were working for Is cents per
ton.

MORE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.
Scotch-I Irish Coming From All Parts of the
Country-nIec Hall Completed
Over $4,000 Yet Needed-Busiuess Men

Scotch Irish Coming From All Parts oil the
Country-Mpchnnicai Hall Completed
Over $4,000 Yet Needed-Busiuess Men
Looked TO for the Cash.
The Citizens Committee on the Scotch
Irish Congress met yesterday and heard re-
ports of the Finance Committee. About
S4,7OO of the necessary $1,000 has been
raised, and the committee realizes the neces-
sity of doing some very active work within
the next two days. They have no fears,
however, that the amount will not be
raised. H. P. Ford, George L. Halliday,
Rev. E. r. Donehoo and S. Hamilton were
appointed as a special committee to devote
tomorrow and the next day to the iron
manufacturers.
The other arrangements are about COM
pleted. The headquarters of the officers of
the society will be at the Monongahela
Honse. The hotel will not be opened until
Wednesday, when most of the delegates will
be here. The large platform at the one end
of Mechanical Hall was completed yester-
day. Back of the speakers stand has been
placed the design showing the society's coat
of arms in colors and trimmed with the
thistle and shamrock and bearing appropri-
ate notices.
Colonel Floyd, Secretary of the national
society, said last night that word had been
received from Senator Pasco, of Florida;
Attorney General Kirk patrick, of Pennsyl-
vania Genral. Rufus Darlington, the present
oldest man in North Carolina, and several
other distinguished personages, all whom
have promised to be here to attend the con-
gress. 1t is doubtful if at any time the
city has ever had such large and represen-
taJive body of men as will be here this
week.
Colonel Floyd also stated last night it is
the intention to issue book after the con-
gress which will contain the proceedings of
the meeting, history Of the Scotch Irish of
Pittsburg and Western Pennsylvania and
the names of the committees and contribu-
tors who aided IN any way to make the a.
fair a success. These books will be issued
alter each succeeding congress, and in a few
years competent historical writer will be
employed to compile complete history of
the Scotch-Irish race of America. Il is ex-
pected that these books, issued from year to
year. will be valuable aids in this work.
The last general meeting of the Citizens
Committee will be held Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock, when it is expected the COM
mittees will be able to make final reports.
In the meantime if any citizens feel dis
posed to contribute funds for the affair, it is
desired that they send their contributions to
w. w. Rankin, Treasurer, at the CONNER
clal National Bank.
A change was made yesterday in the
music. Instead of the choruses, the pupils
of the various colleges in the city will fur
nish vocal music.

SOMETHING IN THE WIND.
Postmaster Mexican nnd Senator Quay Hold
n Secret Conference.

Secret Conference.
Postmaster Mexican went East last even
ing, accompanied by his sister, Miss Mollie
Mexican. There is some mysterious move
ment on foot in connection with the National
Committee. The postmaster will visit Wash
ington before he returns.
Yesterday morning Senator Quay slipped
through Pittsburg and reached his home in
Beaver without any of the reporters seeing
MIN. He sent Cor Postmaster Mexican and
they spent the afternoon about some import
ant work to be done. Postmaster Mexican
declined to state what is on the carpet.
One of the schemes OF Senator Quay, so it
is claimed, is to start Republican paper
in New York, with Clarkson as chief editor.
The money to found the paper will come
from the Republican reserve fund, which
has been accumulating fer the past six
months and now amounts to $3.50, ,000
Frank Willing Leach devotes his time to
the work of issuing and collect
ing the famous registered certificates
bearing Lincoln's photograph, and which
were designed by the National Committee
for the purpose of raising funds. Senator
Quay also has some new ideas about con-
Quoting the national conventions that will
be discussed at the coming meeting to be
held soon. He would like to see the Sergeant
at Arms of the committee, for one thing, act
in that capacity for the convention.

CAN'T TAX STREET RAILROADS

Controller Morrow says the Chicago Idcn
Cannot be Introduced in PittsburR.
City Controller Morrow says the Chicago
idea OF taxing street railroads on their profits
could not be introduced in Pittsburg, When
charters we're granted here to horse railroads
desiring to change their motive power and to
several new roads the only condition i'm
posed was that the companies should pave
between their tracks and one foot on either
side.
Mr.. Morrow says that at one time there
was tax levied on each car in use, but the
new charters abrogated that. The COM
panies are not even assessed for the city
business tax.

RESULT OF THE INSPECTION.
The Library Coumittee Returns From the
Eust Full of Suggestions.

Iue lIlDrury SOtVhultteb neturns FROM kue
Enst Full of Suggestions.
Ten leading libraries were visited by the
Allegheny committee on its Eastern trip.
1t returned yesterday, full of suggestions
and hints in conducting a public library.
From its observations the committee will
recommend the best features of all the insti-
tutioLs visited for the use of the Carnegie
Library.
The time to select, purchase, shelf-list,
catalogue and have ready for the public
10000 volumes, will take from one to two
years. With a large force of expert assist
ants it will be possible to "open" the
library in six months; but Judge Chamber
lain, oil Boston, advises great deliberation
in the choice of books. The reading room
can be stocked and opened in short time.
The salaries paid the women assistants in
some OF the public libraries are as low as $40
month, and rarely higher than S35. A
few of the chief lady Librarians in New
England receive $1,000 a year. Expert
cataloguers and shel-lister are in demand
to get the library ready for use, and soon all
will be in readiness for the reading public.

ELECTRICIANS REFUSED.
The Building Trades Council Has Anothe
Fight Over Delegates.

The Building Trades Council Has Another
Fight Over Delegates.
The regular meeting of the Building
Trades Council was held last night. Three
delegates were admitted from the Steam Gas
Filters and Steam Tilers' Helpers Union
No. %, one from Carpenters and Joiners'
Union No. 1S5, OF Sharpsburg, and one from
the Hod Carriers International Union No.
1. There was another fight over the admis-
sion OF delegates and the representatives of
the electricians union were refused. The
delegates claimed they wired houses and
were consequently connected with the build
ing trades, but they were defeated because
motor men and engineers are also members
OF their union.
Resolutions were passed denouncing the
reported proposition on the part OF the mas
ter timers to import non.union men to take
the place Of the local strikers, and pledging
the building trades to refuse to work on any
building where nou-uniou men are en-
ployed.

A GLASS HOUSE CLOSED DOWN.

the Workmen.

Not for Want of Orders, but on Account of
the Workmen.
Abel, Smith & Co.'S glassnouse on the
Southside shut down yesterday, and will
not resume until September 1. For the past
ten days or two weeks there have been from
three to five spare pots in the factory. Yes
terday Mr.. Smith made a tour of the fac
tory and discovered six spare pots. He Or
dered the factory to be closed at once
In speaking of the matter last night, Mr..
Smith said: "We had orders enough to
keep us running until July, and had in
tended to run till the general shutdown,
June ID, but for several days we have been
short of men. Some of our workmen have
been drinking too much lately. and it was
impossible to keep full force at work. 1
want the public to know why we closed
down, and it was simply because our men
were either incompetent or were laying
down on us"
