ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE DIsPArcHI
WASHINGTON, Jan. GA delegation of
distinguished Pittsburgers representing the
Bar Association of Allegheny county
arrived here this evening. for the purpose
of calling on the President in the interest
of Judge Acheson's appointment as the
successor of Judge McKennan on the bench
OF the Circuit Court, District of Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware aud New Jersey. The
committee formally appointed by the Bar
Association, Messrs. George Shiras, Jr.,
William B. Negley, c. w. Robb and
George II. Christy, arrived early in the

business. Messrs. d. T. Watson and Will
lam Scott, and probably Others, are e1-
pected in tn. morning, and this eminently
influential party will call during the day on

AS the district is larger than Pennsyi-

a personal than an official nature, and will
not feel that he is turning down" anybody
should he happen to appoint someone other
than candidate Endorsed by the Senators,
Representatives or other officials of any one
of the States interested.

Deal Between the Adams and American

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcHI
BOSTON, Jan. 6.-The express business
centering about Boston has been given a
severe shaking up by movement by the
Adams and American Express Companies
to play into each others hands. The New
England territory, as covered by the two
companies, is divided in a rough way BY
the line of the Boston and Albany Railroad
the territory north being covered by the
American and the Adams serving the
southern part. The Adams Express Com
pany used to exchange northern business
with the United States and Canada and the
Eastern EXPRESS Companies, which operated
in upper New Hampshire, Vernon: and
Maine.
The American bought those two lines out
and then began TO extend its territory. The
Adams kept on exchanging goods to and
from the points as originally, exchanging
with the old local companies, however,
rather than the new opponent, the Ameri-
can. The present deal is the taking of this
exchange business away from these smaller
concerns in favor of the larger The move
ment extends wherever the two great lines
run. The plan was formulated and per-
fected in New York. 1tis given in expla ma
tion OF the movement that people east of
Boston can now ship their goods through on

MISSISSIPPI LEvEEs.

Gen. Comstock, of the Commission, Thinks
They Arc Necessary.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The House Com
mittee on Improvement of Levees of the
Mississippi River began hearing on the
subject of levees this morning and examined
General Comstock, OF the Mississippi River
Commission. He did not think the United
States should undertake building levees
where bluffs were near at hand, nor did he
believe in narrow Ievees. Of the levees
built near the banks since 1880. % per cent
have caved into the river. The levees
should be put where they would be safe.
He thought it possible to, construct levees
that would restrain the waters within :, 900
feet, but he WAS not certain this would re-
suit in securing out the rivers. 1t would,
he thought, deepen the channel where 1t was
already deep, but on the long shoal reaches
like Plum Point, he didn't believe the bars
would he secured out.
To Mr.. Blanchard, General Comstock said
there was no difference of opinion in the
commission as TO the necessity OF leyees to
prevent floods. Since the commission had
taken hold of the river, the amount e1-
pended by the United States on levees had
been a little over $4,000, 600 and the amount
spent bv the States and riparian owners
about 500, 900.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
BOSTON, Jan. CDR. Koch's lymph has
wrought what seems to be a miraculous cure
in the case of girl, Maggie Doyle,
who was treated at the Massachusetts,
General Hospital. Ten days ago she was
dying of phthisis or consumption. Now
she sits up in bed. takes more food, sleeps
we'll and is so far on the road to recovery
that the experimental stage may be said to be
passed, and in two weeks the physicians ex-
pect to send her TO the country for final re-
cuperation. She has had three lnoculations
and they will be repeated every two or three
days for the present.
A week ago Sunday she was so low that
she received the sacrament of extreme unc-
ton, the last rites in the Roman Catholic
Church. So rapid an Improvement
is looked upon alike by the phy-
sicians and friends as an impressive
testimony to the success of lymph
treatment. She says she feels much better
and stronger than before the inoculations.
She continues to cough, but it is a cough Of
the favorable kind. for every time comes up
matter that has been acted upon by the
lymph. To her friends her outward ap-
pearance is not altered, but her own feelings
are very much better, and she herself Is
now confident Of recovery.

Republicans, Democrats and Alliance Men
in Minnesota
ST. PAUL, Jan. 6.-When the Senate re-
assembled at o'clock it was to elect officers
who had already been decided on by the
Conference Committee of the Alliance and
Democrats. F. n. Van Dusse, the Alliance
candidate for Secretary, headed the list, and
the Democrats and Alliance candidates
alternated on through the list.
Then came hot parliamentary battle over
the rules, in which Ignatius Donnelly was
sole spokesman for the Alliance and Demo-
Gratis and John Day Smith was chief speaker
for the Republicans. Senator. Donnelly in
sisted that inasmuch as the Alliance-Demo-
cratic combine was in the majority, the
Committees on Railroads, Grain and Ware
houses, and Banking should be farmers; and
when Senator Smith moved to have the last
session rules continue and a committee be
appointed to decide on permanent rules, he
objected vigorously. The resolution was
defeated by the Democrats. The three
parties in the House are as far
Democrats and Alliance men have been
in communication with each other through
conference committees all tie afternoon, still
tonight neither are inclined to yield, and
both want the Speakership. The fact that
they have arranged to fuse in the Senate

in the House, but the Democrats claim the
Alliance got the best OF it in the Upper
House and they want the best oil the division
of offices in the lower body.

THE JACK TARS PROTEST.
WHY THE EFFICIENCY OF THE NAVY
HAS NOT BEEN IMPROVED.
Sailors Should Be Treated as Fairly as Are
the So1diers-Many Leave the Service
Because 1t Offers Them No Induce
ments For an Honorable Career.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-Reent propo-
sitions to improve the efficiency of the navy
and to introduce reforms that would attract
Americans to serve their flag afoat have
met with the most violent opposition from
those who appear to have no conception OF
the requirements of modern naval warfare,
and who are totally Indifferent or blind to
the vital effects at present existing. The
methods of the past have resulted most dis
astrously. About 95 per cent of the young
American apprentices and very large per-
centage of the trained seamen gunners leave
the navy because it offers no proper career.
Quite recently respectful: and dlgni6ed
petition has been quietly circulated among
the war ships. 1t is addressed to Secretary
of the Navy Tracy and is signed by men
from the United States steamers Philadel-
phia, Yantic, Vermont, Dale, Minnesota,
Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Yorktown
and will soon bear the signatures OF men on
all other ships in the service. The petition
says among other things:
We earnestly deplore the statements and in
situations recently published that American
citizens are not so subordinate and trustworthy
as foreigners, and that they cannot be dis
ciplined and attracted to serve their flag afoat.
On the contrary, We humbly submit that the
granted, bring the naval service into successful
competition with the civil itrades that offer
ample rewards to maniiness and ability. Men
would enter the navy with the idea of remain
ing and the result would be a corps of natur-
allied citizens-American blue jackets-serv-
ing loyalty and with enthusiasm. The conces-
si0ns for which we petition have already been
proposed by boards of officers or in recent dis
cussions by officers.
Briefly, they are as follows: That the seamen
may be paid SD per month; that the pay of
combatant petty officers may be increased;
that the ra , OF "Gun Captain" and such other
rates as may be necessary be created with pay
of $50 per month: that Gun Captains may have
the same position and responsibility in the navy
as the non-commissioned officers in the army.
and.that petty officers may not be disrated ex-
cept by sentence of a court martial.
Regarding the presence of marines on board
ship. we earnestly disclaim any intention of
speaking with dsrespect or resentment. While
they remain aiioat it is our duty to accept the
situation and we condemn all attempts TO
create corps dissention or to injure efficiency.
But we consider it our duty to ourselves well
as to the service. to petition for the withdraw.
al of the marines from service afloat. We feel
that the marines lstand between us and the
officers in many ways, thereby denying us po-
sitions of honor and responsibility, and carry
ing the imputation that we are not trust
worthy,

rrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArnH.i
CLEVELAND, Jan. 6'-The Rev. Howard
Macqueary is in town, ready to be tried by
the Episcopalian ecclesiastical court to-
morrow morning on the charge of heresy.
The presentment of the court, long docu-
ment, was made public tonight. The i'm
portant specifications and charges are as
follows:
Specification lin book entitled "The
Evolution of Man and Christianity" written by
the Rev. Howard Macqueary aforesaid, and
published in the year 1890 the doctrines of the
Virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and of
His resurrection the third dav, are in divers
plans taught to be unworthy of belief" Among
the statements in said book. which impugn the
doctrine of the Virgin birth OF our Lord are the
following. to wit: (P: 2l9) "All the earliest
narratives of our Lords life and teachings fail
to furnish US. even approximately, satisfactory
proof of the Virgin birth but the evidence ad-
ducible rather seems to favor the view that
Joseph was the father of Jesus.
The story of the Virgin born, as it stands
in the Gospel. is so improbable, and the evil
dence supporting it is so uncertain that criti-
in said book which impugn the doctrine of our
Lords resurrection on the third day are the
following, to-wit: The earliest tradition coii-
cerning Christ's resurrection simply teaches
that it was a spiritual appearance. He showed
himself in spirit to the Apostles. And this
was not subjective hallucinatiOn of theirs,
but a real objective manifestation of the
spirit of Jesus from the unseen sphere. Around
this kernel gradually grew the husky narra-
tives of The gospel. whose authorship is so un-
certain whose conceptions are so grossly ma
terialistic, so inconsistent with the conceptions
of the unseen sphere, which scientific theology
forces upon us that we must set them aside as
valueless. -
Specification 2-The Standing Committee be-
lieve that the Rev. Howard Macqueary has not
only written the book aforesaid and procured
its publication and distribution, but that he
still holds and publicly avows and teaches the
views therein set forth regarding he virgin
birth of Our Lord and His resurrection the
third day. 1t is charged that by holding and
teaching as aforesaid the Rev. Howard Mac
queary violated declarations and engagements
made by him at the time of his originating, and
TINS has done that which involves a breach of
his ordination VOWS.

counsel fees, because Blakensy's lawyer

counsel fees, because Blakeney's lawyer
said he could not find his client.
Blakeney is the only brother of the fam
ous beauty, Madame Muzard, the favorite Of
the late King of Holland. ALI old New
York residents will remember the story OF
her adventurous lie. When she died. about
IL years ago, the princely fortune which she
accumulated from royal Golfers came into
possession of her parents. They were plain,
hard working people, living at Tappan, NY.
From them the money descended to Nine.
Muzard's brother William, the defendant in
these proceedings, and to his sister Mary
Ann, now Mrs. Charles Pike, OF First
Place, Brooklyn. Ordinary thrift would
have made William worth $500, 900 to-day,
but his career has been one of the widest
dissipation.
He is unable to write his own name, yet
he once owned Nyack newspaper. Two
years ago the courts decided he was un fit to
have control OF his property, adjudged him
an habitual drunkard and appointed a
trustee to care for his estate. Later this
order was rescinded, and he has since been
more than ever reckless with his funds.
Mrs. Biakeney is an intelligent woman
who lives in semi-retirement in a handsome
Broadway home. A son and a daughter,
both married, are the issue of her marriage
to Blakenev.

State Committee,

His Friends Get control OF the Indiana
State Committee.
ESPECIAL TEL EGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 6.-The fight to-day
over the reorganization of the Republican
State Central Committee brought an i'm
mense number of politicians here. Gov
ernor Steele, of Oklahoma, formerly of
Marion, was here, and he. with WARREN G.
Sayre, ex-Speaker OF the House. and the
Presidents son, Russell, were in charge of
the administration interests. Late this
afternoon the fight over the reorganization
narrowed down to struggle between the
administrationists and the anti-administra-
tionists. The former won. If the COM
mittee could have met free from the In
fuence OF the Federal Office holders, Marcus
r. Sulzer, of Madison, would probably
have been elected chairman, and the political
machinery in Indiana would not have Teen
pledged to the use of President Harrison for
another term. But that. was not possible.
Those who are under obligations began
coming in early to-day and by noon the
administration pressure was SO great that
the chances of Nj. Sulzer, or any other man
who would not pledge himself to Harrison
for reelection, began to rapidly glide away.
Just alter noon the committee held con-
ference, and, by small majority. decided
to make John, r. Gowdy, of. Rushville,
chairman, in case Mr.. Michener rendered
his resignation, which it was understood he
had done by telegraph.
Mr. Gowdy has been Auditor of Rush
county for eight years, and is Republican
of the radical school. He has been for
some time member of the Executive
Committee OF the State Central Committee
and is denominated a hustler. The friends
of Mr.. Sulzer were much displeased with
the treatment that gentleman received.
Gowdy was Michener's choice and it means
that Harrison is a candidate for another
term
