again candidate Tor the same Office. Daniel
McWillIams had already been selected, but
when it came to a decision between Magee
or Stokely for second choice, there was a
split in the convention.
One Of the parties favored Stokely and
the other decided upon Magee. Here the
friends of Mr. Stokely interposed and after
long controversy with the Democratic
Chairman, Jas. H. Hopkins, it was decided
that there had been no quorum at the con-
vention and the nomination of Magee, who
controlled the ma jority of delegates, was
overruled. To bring about a settlement it
was finally agreed that the party should
have two tickets. MI. Stokely was elected by

CHURCHES OF THE EAST.

The Latin and Oriental Congregations Will
Shortly Discuss the Matter Of Reorsan-
ization-The Ancient Patriarch General
to Be Re-Esta blished in the Person of
Monsignor Asrean.
ROME, July 18.-To the request for infor-
nation whidh arrived from several quarters
the Vatican and the Propaganda answer that
the Holy See has approved of Monsignor
Ireland regarding Saltwater and Faribault,
and for all places where the DEGREES of the
Council of Baltimore can be applied. The
Latin congregation and the Oriental congre-
cation of the Propaganda will be gathered
together in plenary session in order to dis
cuss, under all its aspects, vast project of
the Pope's for the ecclesiastical reor-
ganization of the churches of the East.
1t relates, in conjunction with France and
with Turkey, to the re-establishment of the
ancient Patriarch General of CONSTANT no
pie, in the person of Monsignor Asrean, at
present Armenian Patriarch residing at
Constantinople, an eminent prelate who
enjoys the confidence of the Sultan and the
sympathy of France and Russia. The fol-
lowing is the importance of the charge:
At this moment the Catholics of the East,
of the Latin right, do not form autonomous
communities with civil personality; they
are only tolerated. The apostolic delegate
at Constantinople has a dependent situa-
tion; he cannot negotiate with the Sultan
except through the Intermediary of the Am
bassador of France. In re-establishing the
Patriarch, the Holy See not only unifes
and centralizes the church of the East, but
gives autonomy, with the civil personality,
to all the communities of the Latin rite in
the Turkish Empire. In addition, the Pa
trarch will be able to negotiate directly
with the Sultan and personally with the
Greek Patriarch, which was not possible up
to the present. Turkey shows herself favor
able to this plan so grand in its simplicity.
1t is asserted that France and Russia for
motives of general policy, appear to second
Turkey and the Holy See; but the plans
encounter difficulties, in applying them, on
account of the French protector and of the
respective positions of the different
committees and of the governments of
Europe. The two reunited congregations
have the role of studying the possibility and
also the practical application of this plan.
IT the Patriarch is established, the union of
the two churches in which the Pope ardently
interests himself, will have taken long
step forward.

LONDON, July 18.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times telegraphs to his pa
per as follows in regard to the Bismarck
controversy:
'The Bismarckian organs are beginning
to recognize that their grand attack on the

"When Prince Bismarck, who has always

nothing to regret or withdraw, is classed by

mercy of the crown can be invoked, it may
be assumed that the worst of the fight is

RIVAL PARIS SALONS REC0NCILED,

Champ de Mars Artists Will Return to the
Palais de LIndustrie.
PARIS, July 18-The event of the week
in the Paris artistic world is the reconcilia-
tion of the two salons. 1t is now almost
certain that next year the Champ de Mars
artists will return to the Palais de PIN
dustrie The main cause of this is the fact
that the Champ de Mars salon has not paid
its expenses.
Another cause is the Chicago Fair. For
moment the division threatened the success
of the French fine arts exhibit at Chicago.
Finally it was decided to appoint jury for
Chicago made up Of an equal number of
members from the two salons This was
done and it had much to do with bringing

1ssS-The Senator to Take an Active
Part in the Campaign.
PHILADELPHIA. July 18-[Speeial J.
Senator Quay dropped into the city very
quietly this evening and expects to meet 9
fewS of the city leaders tomorrow. His
coming was without herald. beyond a brief
telegram to ex-Collector Dave Martin, who
met him at the Continental Hotel shortly
after z o'clock, and the only other caller
was Secretary Frank Willing Leach, whose
speciality in this years campaign is the
management of the legislative districts.
Mr.. Richard R. Quay accompanied his
father.
The Senator will return to Washington
late tomorrow afternoon. First on the list
of his engagements for tomorrow is his
usual conference with Collector Cooper.
MI. Quay would not say that politics had
anything to do with his visit.
"You have noticed the opposition to Con-
gresham Dalzell in the TweEty-second dis
trict," was the question of the evening.
''There is a movement out there of some
Sort" said the Senator, "but what it
amounts to 1 don't know from present
knowledge"
Dick Thinks Weihe Strong Man.
Some one stated that William Weihe, ex-
President of the Amalgamated Association,
would be nominated by the Democrats. "If
he is" answered Dick Quay, she will get q
big vote in Homestead and Braddock, and
he is a very strong man."
Mr.. Quay admitted to deep interest in
the labor situation in Allegheny county,
but had no opinion to express on the SUBJ
ject.
''Do you know that Hugh O'Donnell, the
Homestead leader, is in town."
81 have not heard anything about Mr..
O'Dnnnell beyond what the papers saw"
for the arrest of some of the Homestead peo-
pie, according to late news, and that is all
know"
Touching his successor as Chairman of
the Republican National Committee, Mr..
Quay said: "Mr. Carter will prove an
effective Chairman, and the choice is good
one. He mas had some experience, and will
take to the work naturally. The way be-
fore him is plain, as the committees trans
actions leave everything in excellent
shape"
Mr.. Quay's Ideas of the Situation.
"What do you think of the situation?'
"Mr. Harrison will carry every State that
he carried four years ago. He will carry
all the new States admitted since then, and
he will carry West Virginia That more
than means his election. 1t will be break
in the South of a healthy character, and
there is no doubt of his success"
''Do you expect take part in the cam
paign?"
81 certainly do. Why not?" responded
the Senator.
''Of course you will take possession of
that Brigantine Beach cottage after Con-
grass adjourns next week?"
"That is matter shall have to consider
after adjournment.

MASS In HONOR OF COLUMBUS.

The Pope Directs its Celebration in Spain,
Italy and America October IL.
ROME, July 18.-The Papal encyclical on
the Columbus celebrations that was issued
Saturday directs that on October IL the
Mass Of the Trinity be celebrated in the
Catholic churches of Spain, Italy and
America in honor of Columbus. The encyc-
lical also invites the Bishops of other ma
tions to say the same mass.
The Pope says he cannot doubt that Co.
lumbus was primarily inspired by the
Catholic faith. The difference between him
and the ilustrious men who before and
after him discovered unknown land, was
that Columbus was animated by the spirit
of religion, which sustained his genius, for
titled his constancy and afforded him con-
ISOLATION in his greatest trials.

Baron vialar Predicts That 1t Will Be an

PARIS, July 1a.-Baron Alfred Vialar,
the special delegate of the French Govern
ment who was sent to Chicago last month
and make a report, has just reached here.
He is enthusiastic over the Fair. In
conversation with the Associated Press
representative, he said:
"I have no doubt that the Fair will be
a great success and Europe has much to
learn from it. The site is very well
chosen. 1t was well, too, that Chicago
instead Of New York was chosen, for for
eigners would find New York too much
like European cities There is an Ameri.
can and original stamp about Chicago.
While I do not find any very great origi-
nality about the Fair buildings, I do find
them grandiose. The large scale on which
everything has been done astonished me
and will astonish the Europeans who go
over next year."

He Drives Off With Horses and Busgies
Left Unattended.
There is boy in the Allegheny lookup
who seems to have mania for stealing
horses and buggies. His name is William
McKune, and he was arrested about two
weeks ago for driving away with rig. Tho
Mayor let him off with reprimand, on his
promise never to do it again. Yesterday
morning the lad jumped into the buggy Of
William Mcintosh, which was standing on
Buena Vista street, and drove away
leisurely. The owner saw the act, ran in
pursuit and caught up on Bridge street.
The boy was again taken to the lookup, and
will be given a hearing this morning.
The Mavor is puzzled what to do with
him, and SAYS he is satisfied that the boy
takes the buggies just because he cannot
help it. He has no intention of appro-
priating the property permanently.
