According to Governor Fifer, Who Ii Aw.
fully Down on Pinkertonism.
CHICAGO, July S-[Special ]-Governor
Fifer is in town. He is down on Pinker-
tons and Pinkerton methods, and declared
with considerable warmth that no matter
now many Pinkertons entered Pennsylvania
they would no longer be tolerated in this
State. There was good law, he
said, on the statute books before
Senator Palmer began his crusade
against the Pinkertons, preventing armed
bodies of private watchmen or detectives
from acting for corporations whose en-
ployes were on strike. The civil authorities
and the militia only had such authority. As
to the invasion by Pinkertons at Home
stead the Governor said he did not know
whether it was law full or not, as he was un-
acquainted with the Pennsylvania statutes
on the subject.
Asked what effect the labor riots would
have on the campaign in this State, he said:
81 cannot see that it will hurt the Republi-
can party any. Suppose we adopted free
trade, or tariff policy of revenue only,
what would be the situation at Carnegie's
steel works? Worse than at present. ven
ture to say. Illineis will undoubtedly be
the battle-ground in the coming campaign,
and the fight will be hotter than hornets
nest at Shiloh. For that reason am in
favor of establishing branch of the Ma
tional Committee in Illinois.

The Worthy Lord INDUCED q Little and
His Speech Was Animated.
San Francisco CALL
Lord Beaconsfeld once delivered a IA
nous speech in Edinburgh, which was not
reported in its entirety, at all events ont of
Edinburgh, for the very good reason that 1t
could not be done. 1t was the oration
in which he boasted of having educated his
party-a singing reminder for which his
aristocratic following did not thank him.
On this oration hangs a tale. 1t was de-
livered at banquet, end the flower and
chivaIry OF the Tory party was around the
Premier at the head table. By some mis-
take, a decanter of good port instead Of
light claret was placed in front of the
mystic statesman when he. rose to speak,
and every time he took a sip he felt rejuve-
mated, and the more he took the more he
felt inclined to talk in radiant spirits.
With his arms folded, his eyes glowing and
his manner unusually sprightly, Disraeli
poured forth column after column for hours,
and the reporters were turning out the
"copy' with manufacturing rapidity far
beyond the abilities of the tele graphists to
cope with
The wires were gorged, the great speech
only reached the newspapers in mangled
form, and wherever it was read there was
mystifcation and considerable row. But
it NAV be added that some of the reporters
on that occasion had looked upon the wine
when it was red, and their notes were
taking exercise on stills when they came to
decipher them.

Bow a Friend of Governor Boies Was
Treated in a Big City
NEW YORK, July 81 Especial ]-William
F.Powell, who says he is the public prosecu-
tor of Indanola, Iowa, and an old friend of
Governor Boies, reached New York on an
excursion train about II o'clock last even
ing. Mr.. Powell found the town rather
large, and as he was weary from travelling
he sought refreshment at several corner
groceries on his way to Union Square He
tried several hotels, and finally wound up
at the Morton House, softening his disap-
pointment at not getting room there by
taking another drink. BY this time it was
midnight, and Mr.. Powell met two young
women who wore diamonds. "Hello, papa,
where'd you get the badge?" asked one.
His two new friends piloted him to a saloon
where they had several rounds of drinks at
his expense.
Mr. Powell soon got tired and he sat
down on the steps in front of house to
rest. The young women seated themselves
on his knees. Suddenly both women
jumped up and ran down the street. Police
man Kenny saw them running, and he
recognized them. Powell found he had
lost his pocketbook, and it was recovered
from the girls, who were held in bail for
trial, while Powell was sent to the House of
Detention as a witness.

of watchmen and pickets redoubled to pre-
vent any such move on the part of the firm.
The plant of the Carnegie Steel Company
from distance presents the appearance of
a row of deserted factories. The buildings
that during last week were so full of life
and activity are now more quiet than the
silent river, which flows at its side. As a
nearer approach is made, and the gates lead
ing to the office are reached it is seen that
the company's watchmen still grimly patrol
their beats on the inside in sleepy and
careless manner, as if there was no fear for
the present at least.
AT Munhall station, however, a number
of workmen can be found at any time
They ogle every newcomer suspiciously,
aud follow him with their glances until he
is lost to view. Every train that comes in
and goes out of Homestead is watched with
more than passing interest, and it is plain
TO be seen that the report that an iron-clad
train was being fitted out at Lima, O., to
carry Pinkerton men to Homestead has
created great impression on the minds OF
the workmen. They unite in saying: LET
the Pinkertons come. A way will be found
to drag them from the cars" They will
not escape so easily as the ones Sheriff Nc
Cleary rescued.

THE CONVENT OF LA RABIDA.
1t Was the Scene of the Reawakening OF
Columbus Lasting Hope.

1t Was tho Scens Of the Reawakening of
Columbus Lasting Hope.
The Century,
When Columbus turned away from the
Vega, where every passer-by pauses to look
city where none remembered him or his
great project. the convent of La Rabida
must have seemed to him like a beacon light
in the black night of shipwreck.
A little inclosure, pine-shadowed, in the
solitude; the measureless western ocean be-
fore his eyes,. cloudless heaven toward
which to turn clouded sight; q pavement
of sepulchral stones; cloisters wherein to
mediate and prepare for the end; sanctifed
altars to which to cling in hope of pardon
and of an eternity too long unthought of
amid thirstings for earthly glories, less sub
stantial than q vapor wreath, and ah! for the
discovery of worlds which, compared with
the infinite, are but as atoms; penitents
and recluses about HIM that to his soul seem
but as shadows-in all these is found an ex-
PLANTATION of the refuge sought by Columbus
at La Rabida
The old traditions assign his sojourn at
the convent to the hour of his arrival and of
his high hopes; cotemporaneous criticism,
better informed, fixes it at the period of his
departure and his disenchantment. And
herein is the chiefest glory of that spot,
that it was the scene of new birth of lost
hope. And this hope returned because Co.
lumbus was devout, and was beloved of
those devout men. 1t was a sacred rock of
faith, whereon sprang the purest of all af-
fections-the affection of inexhaustible ad-
miration mingled with unquenchable friend
ship. Let hatred and envy know that
the humble Franciscan monk, Juan Perez,
in truth discovered the New World, through
his deep friendship and admiration for Co
lumbus. f

FOUR YEARS A FUGITIVE.

Arrest OF tho Notorious Bad Powell
Wanted for Train Robbery, Among
Other Crimes-History of One Of Texas
Famous Robber Gangs.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, July 8.-lSpecial ]
United States Marshal Paul Frick, of
this city, is on his way here from Helena,
Mont, having in custody James A. Powell,
better known as ''Bud" Powell, one Of the
most desperate of criminals. Powell has
been fugitive from justice for over four
years, the particular offense for which he is
wanted being that of train robbery.
On June 18, 1887, he and six other des-
perate men held up the express from Cali
fornia two miles east of this city and got
away with about So, 900 of Wells Fargo Ex-
press money. and 81, 900 from passengers.
An Englishman lost 81, 900 of that amount.
Eight days later the same gang attempted
to hold up q passenger train at Harwood,
Tex. The authorities knew Of the plan,
and posse of United States deputy mar
shals went out from here on the train. A
desperate fight ensued, in which several
passengers were wounded and the robbers
were driven of. They were all recognized.
Powell is the fourth one of the gang
located by. officers. Bill Whitley, one of
them, was killed at Floresville on October
%. 1885, by United States Marshal John T.
Rankin, while resisting arrest. Brock,
another one, was killed near Pearsall, Tex,
in February, 1888, by Sheriff A. Y. Alice,
while resisting arrest.
Ed Reeves was the only member Of the
gang who was captured until Powell's
arrest. Reeves was sentenced to the peni-

Territory while resisting arrest. Powell's

in Helena by Marshal Frick. The latter
telegraphed here to-day that he is on his
way with the prisoner.

BURIED BENEATH STONES

Arc Railroad Coaches and Sleepers and
Three Mangled Bodies-A Wall Col
Iapses and Fails Upon the Standing
Cars-Two Conductors Are Killed.
MEMPHIS, July S-There is scene of
wreck and ruin and death at the Newport
News and Mississippi Valley Railroad
depot. Under the large stones of a fallen
wall lay crushed and broken timbers of
coaches and seepers, and within this mass
are three human beings whose lives were
crushed out.
1t was at 4:45 this morning when part of
the wall supporting Front street, from Pop
lar to Market, fell. Yesterday evening the
sleeper Swananowa, from Chicago, arrived
here. The sleeper and coach we're pushed
upon a track in the Newport News depot,
next to the wall that was built two years
ago. The sleeper was in charge of Con-
ductor j. X. Hunter and Porter Bell.
After its passengers were discharged the
conductor left his car, and, in company
with Conductor Hogan, of New Orleans,
he came up town and spent several hours
looking over the city.
The two men were seen together at a late
hour last night, and it was supposed Hogan
spent the night in Hunters sleeper 1t
was approaching dawn when the wall, 300
feet long and from % to &c feet high. gave
way, dashed six cars to pieces and killed
three people. On the track next to the
wall, which is distant from it ten feet, were
the sleeper. Swananowa and coach. The
sleeper is smashed almost into the ground,
and the coach is badly crushed.
About three o'clock this afternoon the
bodies of j. K. Hunter (white) and Sam
Bell (colored) were extricated from the
crushed timbers. The loss is estimated at
S65, ,000

0DoNNELL's TRIP TO HARRISBURG.

He Left Homestead With a Committee to
Personally Interview the Governor.
Hugh O'Donnell, the acknowledged
leader of the mill hands; J. H. Williams
and George Sairae, started from Home
stead tor Pittsburg on the noon train to-
day. These gentlemen constituted COM
mittee appointed by the men to go
to Harrisburg and personally inter-
view Governor Pattison. The mem
bers make no bones in saying that the
object of their visit to Harrisburg is to give
the Governor an accurate outline of the
situation, and to demonstrate to him that
there is no necessity to call out the troops
to preserve order in Homestead village to
protect the property of the company. Be-
tore the committee left for Pittsburg they
sent the following telegram to the Gov
ernor:
"Would You meet committee of Home
stead citizens on arrival of mail express at
10 o'clock tonight. Wire at once"
In his reply the Governor stated that he
would remain at the Executive Department
until II o'clock The committee took the
10 o'clock train from Union station, and
were due in Harrisburg at 10.

RAUM ON THE RUN.

The President in an Embarrassing Position
Because OF His Pension Commissioner
He Will Catch 1t IL He Fires Him or if
He DotSn',.
WASHINGTON, July 81 Speciai Pres
ident Harrison will have the Raum diff
Guilty on his hands next week, to add to the
many other embarrassments which now
surround him. In few days Judge
Wheeler, Chairman of the committee which
investigated the Pension Office, will call up
the resolution reported by the committee,
and there is no doubt the resolution will be
adopted by an overwhelming majority. A
few Republicans are said to be willing to
vote for it.
The resolutions declare that in the judg-
ment of the House, Raum should be removed
because he has demonstrated his unftness
for the place, because Of his lack of judg-
ment and intense animosity, because of his
inscriptions but unsuccessful attempt to
ure the character of Congressman Cooper,
because he has prostituted his office to
private gain, and because he has prostituted
his office for political purposes
This sweeping resolution is so fully sup
ported by the facts set forth in the report of
the committee that Raum is left practically
without support in either branch of Con-
gress. So far as can be learned there is no
Republican brave enough to defend the
Commissioner on the floor of the House, and
the popular branch of Congress will set the
seal Of its condemnation upon Raum
so unmistakably that President Harrison
will be placed in most embarrassing posi-
sition. To retain Commissioner Raum in
the face of the evidence against him and the
judgment of the House would be foolhardy,
and to remove the derelict bureau officer In
the midst of campaign would be to confess
that the administration has been weak in
one of the most important departments of
the Government
Friends of the President say he will meet
the emergency as boldly as possible by sac
rifcing Raum, though he now regrets he did
not listen to the advice of certain members
of his Cabinet and remove the Commissioner
last tall.

NEW YORK, July 8.-W. j. Campbell
departed to-day for his home in Chicago and
Hon. Tom Carter returned to Washington.
They were perfectly satisfied with the make
up of the National Republican Executive
Committee and everybody else, including
Whitelaw Reid, ex-senator Platt, Warner
Miller and DR.. Depew received it without
complaint 1t was frankly admitted that
the majority of the committee had always
been friendly to Mr. Blaine
The placing of William A. Sutherland,
of Rochester, on the committee was &C.
cepted in some quarters to mean that the
dominant element of the New York ma
chine had already been placated. This in
depreciation is erroneous. Hon. Tom Car
ter merely asked Senator Plat whom he
would like to have on the committee from
New York, and Mr. Plat named Mr. Suth-
erland. There was no futher understand
ing The New York leaders don't propose
to talk to the President through intermedi-
aries They will talk directly to the Presi-
dent or not at all.

are accused of belittling to the President
the Importance of the Republican vote of
New York State
The time has arrived when the party
needs the vote of the State. The President
has been informed of the feeling of the New
Workers. but he is SO stiff-necked, so say his
Republican critics, and is imagining that he
is a dead sure winner without the aid of
others than his Cabinet officers and the man
he is to select to run his Campaign Com
mittee
Certain of the Washington Republicans
who have been here for the last few days
deprecate such state of things They have
been greatly disappointed over the setting
aside by the President of General James s.
Clarkson as Chairman of the Executive
Committee. This act was ascribed to-day to
the influence of Secretary Elkins 1t was
done against the protest of Tom Carter, the
secretary of tine committee.
Cuilom Selected Mr.. Campbell.
The selection of Mr.. Campbell was made
on the advice of that most astute of all
Western Republican statesmen, Hon.
Shelby Cullom, of the outskirts Of Chicago.
Before leaving town MI. Carter and Mr..
Fessenden again visited the Republican
State headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel Later in the day Mr.. Platt, after an
hours talk privately up stairs with Senator
Hiscock, joined ex-senator Warner Miller
in the headquarters
Whitelaw Reid is greatly interested in
the situation. He is determined that an
amicable understanding shall be reached.
His friends say he is in this campaign to
win. He believes that everything will be
Strengthened out at the proper time.

enough to enter the house until two doctors
arrived, who forced the door open and
found Shepherd thoroughly exhausted. He
was given an opiate and put to sleep. Mr.
