Ninth Ward club gave the visiting Tam.

Ninth Ward club gave the visiting Tam
manyltes three rousing cheers.
Frank Finlayson was called upon, and
made an eloquent speech in which he
referred in graceful terms to the speaker
who had preceded him, and then pro-
ceeded with thoughtful analysis of
some of the inquities of the tariff. He
ridiculed the idea that the Republican
party is the party of respectability, and
likened it to whited sepulcher.
His remarks were heartily received.
He was followed by City Engineer
Dockweiler, who, in q few remarks, gave
evidence of the Democratic faith within
him, and was greeted with warm ap-
plause.
The closing speech OF the evening was
made by E. f. Hall, of Ell Monte, who
is a candidate forsthe nomination for
sheriff. He proved to be a stirring
talker, and his brief address was
warmly applauded.
The meeting then adjourned, all feel
ing that it was daisy starter in the
campaign.
It was indeed rousing meeting, an
is evidence of the fact that Boyle
Heights Democrats are alive and active.
Every mention of the name of Cleve-
land was received with uproarious APP
plause.
The number OF young men present
last evening plainly indicates that the
young men are with the Democratic par
ty this year.
There were quite number OF Seventh
ward Democrats present, including
Thomas Weiss.
Among the interested spectators was
Judge Guthrie.
The enthusiasm that every one OF the
400 voters present showed is indicative
| of the Democratic cyclone that is to
sweep Los Angeles county this year.
The remarks of Frank Finlayson ridi-
culing the false pretensions of the II
am holier than thou" element OF the
Republican party, were most appropil-
ate, and the audience appreciated them.
| If the Democrats in every ward in the
city will be as lively as the Boyle
Democracy was last evening, the party
will sweep the county this fall.
1t will now be in order to hold ward
meetings in every ward in the city, such
as the rouser OF last evening was.
The Tammany club turned out in good
| shape.
The committee present from the Ger
man-American club consisted OF II. Har-
zog. l. Wilhartitz, F. Frank, Louis
Roeder, A. Steinicke and Prof. I. b.

That Johnstown Flood Fund Was All Put
Where It Belonged.
rBY CABLE TO THE orePArcH.l
LONDON, June 11.-Stuart w. Miller,
purser of the City of Paris, of the Inman
line, probably has more friends among trav-
cling Americans than any other officer on
the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is he
known for his invariable cour-
tesy and kindness to the thousands
who have crossed on the crack liner, but he
was the hero Of the hour when his vessel
was drifting and sinking at the time of her
disaster, more than two years ago, and his
sangfroid and cheeriness buoyed up the
spirits of all the passengers on board during
those four days of terror and suspense. The
New York World Of June 2 publishes an al
legged interview with James s. Thompson,
of Pittsburg, in which he is made to say
that few days after the Johnstown dis
aster the sum of $416 was collected on the
City of Paris for the food sufferers, and
turned over to Miller; that the subscribers
have never heard what became of the
money, and that John O'Day, President of
the Standard Oil Company, was one of the
subscribers, and was about to investigate
Miller's connection with the matter.
Miller was on the way to Liverpool when
the Worlds article appeared. A DISPATCH
reporter showed it to him after the City Of
Paris arrived. Miller was very indignant.
He told the reporter that he had sent the
money to the New York Herald fund and at
once cabled the Herald about it. He got
this response: "July 8, 1889, s78, 13 shill-
ings and II PENCE" SIT is q contemplate
thing to make such terrible accusation in
my absence, and without consulting me, he
said, and everybody who knows Miller will
agree with him

Consul Tweedy's Discourasing Report on
the State of Trade There.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, June 1L-English traders who
are fond of attributing their dwindling for
eign business to the apathy of the Foreign
Office and its agents abroad, will not derive
very much satisfaction from Consul
Tweedy's report on the trade and finance
of Haiti, just issued here. While express
ing regret that two or three British houses
would suffer by the recent commercial
depression, one to the extent of be-
tween EGG, 900 and e70. 600, Consul Tweedy
leaves no doubt that such suffering was, and
is, due to incompetence or recklessnesx A
representative Of q certain British firm
showed the Consul list of its debtors in
Haiti, in which the latter was astonished to
find "names of persons possessing no COM
mercial standing, and even persons known
to be of bad faith
The Consul is moved to give British mer-
chants lecture upon elementary principles
ofinternational commerce, the mere necessity
for which affords strong presumptive proof
of the ignorance of those to whom it Is ad-
dressed. Consul Tweedy, by the way, proud
ly records that the salaries Of Government
funtionaries and the interest on the public
debt have been regularly paid"

ROME, June 1I-There was noisy sitting
of the Chamber of Deputies to-day. During
. speech by Signor Brazillai, . member of
the Extreme Left, the President Of
the Chamber was obliged to sus-

He urged that the military strength Of the

plish this end. Italy, he declared, should
strictly adhere to the Dribund.
Premier Giolitti followed Signor Forts

Scotch Association That Wants the
Distinction Drawn Fine.
tBY CABLE TO TIE DIsPAToH.l
LONDON, June 11-English writers and
speakers have been solemnly taken to task
this week by the Scottish Home Rule Asso-
citation for their loose habit of using the
terms England and English, instead of
Britain and British, when referring to the
British empire and its officers and lnstitu-
tions Americans as well as Englishmen
should take note, for instance, that Scot
land is not included in the term Eng land;
that Queen Victoria is . British not an
English sovereign, and that the Government
of this United Kingdom is the British,
not the English Government That the
matter is regarded as serious BY the Scottish
Home Rule Association is evident from the
fact that at its last meeting it passed q reso-
luton setting forth that the practice CON-
planned of sis a deliberate attempt to de-
fraud our country and countrymen of their
treaty rights and privileges, and to degrade
Scotchmen from their proper historical po-
sition and make their country q mere
province of England"
Needless to say, had the resolution on
such lines been passed by the Irish N National
League it would have been called rank
treason, but coming from the Scottish So
ciety it is described by English commenta-
tors as ''noble expression of just pride in
their nationality"

That May Be of Benefit to an American
Torpedo-The Brennan Affair Proves q
Disastrous FaIlure-Considerable Money
Thrown Away.
tBI CABLE TO THE DIsPATcE.l
LONDON, June ia few years ago a
Radical member OF Parliament attacked the
Government for proposing to buy from an
Australian named Brennan a torpedo which
could be steered from the shore. The Radi-
Gals were promptly denounced as unpatri-
otic, ignorant persons, and a bargain was
concluded by which Brennan received e25,
900 cash down, an appointment in the public
service with q salary of 91, 500 year, and
a valuable contingent advantage which he
has since enjoyed.
The torpedo at that time was admittedly
barely out of the experimental stage, and
since then it has been perfected" at this
generous country's expense. Its state of
perfection was demonstrated last Tuesday,
in the presence of General, the Duke of
Connaught, and crowd of notable naval
and military experts Two Brennan tor
pedoes were fired in the solent at supposi-
titious enemy's ironclad. Both went wrong.
The first stopped midway in its course, and
could not be made to go any further, and
threw its tail into the air and ignominiously
buried itself in the mud. The demonstra-
tion was abruptly stopped, and experts are
now endeavoring to discover what was
wrong.
This news will interest certain American
citizens who are interested in the Edison
Sims torpedo, said to be an immense i'm
provement on Brennan's machine. A few
months ago an Edison-Sims torpedo was
tried at Portsmouth, with some success, but
warned by experience, the admiralty did
not jump at the first offer made, despite
dark hints or threats that ifthe Edison-Sims
weapon should be sold to the French
Government, which was hankering for
it, Britannia in rev years would
cease to rule the waves. The British Gov
eminent caused to be intimated that it was
no longer buyer of incomplete inventions,
but that good price would be paid at any
time for frst-rate working life destroyer.
Brennan's fasco has justified this atti-
tude, and has amply vindicated the action
taken by the much-abused parliamentary
Radicals. The Edison-Sims syndicate will
have to experiment with its own money,
and probably for long time, also for an
economical government is about to come

ers is as much q dream as ever it
was. The speeches were largely aca-
demic, and as lar as one can Judge
by reported proceedings, the only practical
proposal was made by the French Labor
Deputy, Monsieur Thivrier, 'the man in
the blouse, =" who wanted to give all Govern
ments three months notice that unless they
started the industrial millennium within that
period there would be a universal strike.
Foreign delegates cheered this proposal
wildly, but Englishmen pumped cold water
upon it. and nothing came of it. Last even
ing the delegates were dined by an obscure
democratic club, which has its headquarters
In a street off the Strand.
The toast of Democracy" was ostenta-
tiously substituted for that of the Queens
health, much to the delight and admiration
of the foreigners, and the evening was
pleasantly spent in alternate denunciations
OF the capitalists and e1hortations to unity.

PALACIO PENNED UP.
CREsPO, THE REBEL GENEhAA'
BESIEGEs HIS CAPITAL.

Tho Latest Battle, Fought Almost Under
the Walls of Caracas, Lost by the Gov
ernment Troops-The City Filled With
Soldiers and Barricades.
PANAMA, June 3-Adyices from Vene-
zuela by late steamers state that the reVo-
luton continues TO make steady progress
1t is said that Crespo does not desire to
carry the war into the capital, but rather
cut it of to exhaust Dictator Palacio, so
that eventually he will be compelled to
evacuate peacefully.
It is very significant fact that the priests
are in sympathy with the revolution, and
some have actually Joined it, Fathers Lopez
and Zuleto having commands. The latter
recently fought and won battle. Palacio
threatened to imprison the arch
bishop If he does not restrain the
priests from politics. This threat
by Catholic dictator in country almost
wholly Catholic has only had the effect Of
e1asperating the people, and those who had
hitherto remained neutral have now openly
announced that their sympathies are with
the revolution.
Late advices as to the actual movements
Of the maneuvering hostile forces state that
two weeks ago the Crespoists effected the
capture of another of Palacio's chief gener-
ais, Salome, who, together with his whole
force, was carried in triumph into Puerto
Tucuyo. On the other hand, about the sans
time, the Government forces captured Cen
eral Gill, one of Mora's ieutenants. An
other and more serious blow to the Cres-
poistsl was the capture of German vessel
loaded with arms and munitions of war for
their use.
Notwithstanding these two victories the
dictator's forces are in thoroughly de-
moralized condition. The Reyolutionists
are forcing them to the wall Another
battle was fought between the coast and
Caracas Yesterday. 1t resulted in a sweep
Ing victory tor the rebels Palacio's troops
were routed all along the line, and after
stubborn resistance were put TO flight. They
lett their dead and wounded on the battle
field and a quantity of arms and ammuni-
tion. General Crespo commanded the
Revolutionists. He is now marching at the
head of his army toward Caracas.
The panic in the capital cannot be exag-
gerated. 1t is besieged on the south by
revolutionists, who are only awaiting the
arrival of Crespo's main body to attack Cara
cas-. Palacio is virtual prisoner in his
Cosa Amarillo or Yellow House. Govern
ment troops fill the city. Barricades have
been erected in all the principal thorough
fares. Terror reigns among the inhabit-
ants of the city. AT La Guayna a similar
state of affairs exists
