Homestead Matters.

Resolutions were presented at meeting last
week of the Central Labor Union in New York.
suggesting that $500 be given to the Homestead
strikers. This was opposed on account of there
not being enough in the treasury to spare that
amount. and it was finally decided to send sl0e
to Homestead, and to give other money to
another striking organization.
Manager II. c. Prick, of the Carpe:ie Steel
Works, said in an interview the other day:
"Our works are in operation satisfactorily to
u.s. under the present circumstances. and our
business is assuming its normal condition. As
far as the company is concerned, the strike is
thing of the past" He declined to talk
about work being seriously delayed on the
cruisers at the Norfolk Navy yard owing to the
inability of the Carnegies to supply the armor
necessary.
At trades union nesting in Chicago, in the
interest Of the locked out men at Homestead,
resolutions were adopted denouncing Frick and
Carnegie as traitors, and q committee of 81
prominent labor men was appointed to raise
funds for the support of the strikers.

Starvation In Mexico.

Advices from the nteriorof Mexico give par
ticulars Of a most deplorable state of affairs at
Toluca. The poorer classes are dying every
day by hundreds from starvation and exposure,
augmented by an epidemic of typhoid fever.
At Seacatras 152 deaths occurred last Sunday.
The people are growing desperate, and in sew
eral instances notably at Moreia, have at.
tackled the Government warehouses, over
powered the guards. and carried off corn and
other provisions. TO add greater distress to
the present state of affairs the corn crop has
been killed by frost while in its milk. In the
early part of the season the country was
visited by drouth and planting was not begun
until late, owing to the want of rain. Now all
crops have been killed by unusually early
frosts and great suffering among the poor is
expected this Winter.

Capriyi Conp!ains.

Won Caprivi, Prime Minister of Germany
has written q letter to Emperor William in
which he bitterly complains of the clandestins
opposition of Won Eulenburg, and nearly al
the other members of the Prussian Cabinet
The Chancellor threatens to resign, and asks
the Emperor to intervene and put an end to
this underhand opposition.
In this letter Won Eulenburg and Herr
Miguel are accused of Substituting part of the
press in order to contest the military bill, on
which the Chancellor intends to move vote OF
confidence.
Caprivi is ON every hand cutting against
stone walls. Even his most devoted depend
ents are abandoning him. He is. in fact. pass
ing through crisis similar to that experienced
by Prince Bismarck before his fall. Rumors
of his resignation are circulating but this is
premature He has too strong a liking for
power. Nothing short of this military bill,
however, can save him.

An Adyenture In BerInx Sea.

The schooner Maybelle, just arrived at Vic.
toria, B. G., from Copper Island, reports an ex-
citing adventure on Aug. 90. The schooner
was anchored 70 miles of Berng Island in a
dense fog, which lifted suddenly, revealing a
Russian cruiser q short distance away. The
latter made no signals and lowered no boat, but
simply sent shot across the schooner's bows,
which missed the rigging only by few feet.
The Indian crew. in terror, hoisted all sails.
the Captains orders being unheard or I'M
needed in their excitement. Then came q
second shot, better aimed than the first, from
the Russian, which pierced the schooner above
the water-line, going completely through the
forecastle, owing to short range at which it was
directed. Still no boat left the cruiser her
commander apparently being satisfied with
bombarding the helpless sealer. Luckily for
the latter, the fog thickened and in it she es-
capped Damages were patched up at the near
est beach, aud the schooner camo home.

FARMERS, ATTENTION /!
A SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.

The american Farmer is the oldest agri-
cultural paper in America, having been
published in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands of
new management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. 1t is now a superb journal
of 80 large pages, with handsome cover
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
LIST and 18th of each month, and gives a
larger amount of better reading matter foR
the money than any other agricultural papeH
in the country. All the leading agricultural
writers contribute to il, and great amounts
Of money are constantly being expended Co
secure the best available information on all
farming matters.
Tie american Farmer is thoroughly non.
partisan in politics, but is strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes into injurious competition with those
of foreign countries. It is particularly
earnest in its support of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-raising
industry of this country until our own
farmers will supply every pound of wool
and mutton that our people require. re
devotes considerable space every issue to
information in regard to sheep-raising and
the discussion of matters of interest to flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
devoted to Dairying, Poultry, Bookkeeping.
Horses, Swine, Grain-grcwing, Stock and all
branches of farming.
One of its peculiarly valuable features ID
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued maps of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information is of the utmost importance to
every farmer in judging the probable course
of the market. 1t is precisely the informa-
ton that the grain spectators have been
securing at great expense, in order to shape
their operations BY means of these maps
the readers of The american Farmer ara
given just as reliable information IS to the
condition of the crops everywhere as tfa

Prairie Fires in North Dakota.

Travellers coming in from North Dakota and
specials from Mandan and Williams reported
on Oct. 8, fierce and extensive prairie fires
raging, which had crossed the Missouri River
and were sweeping along the country south OF
it, covering district of 30 by 100 miles. A
private telegram says that several families
have perished. The loss in cattle, grain, and
buildings will be almost incalculable, and ii
is feared that many lives have already been
lost. The reports are that hundreds of families
are fleeing to the rivers, leaving household
goods and everything behind.

THE EPISCOPAL MEETING
A Great Gathering of Clergymen at the Prot

A Great Gathering of Clersymen at the Prot
estant Episcopal Triennial General Con.
ventiOn.
Nearly 500 Bishops and lay and clerical
deputies were in attendance on the opening
service Of the Protestant Episcopal Triennisl
General Convention held in Baltimore, and
the Emanuel Church was crowded.
At the second days session the discussion OF
the proposed changes in the prayer-book was
begun and continued throughout the day. The
revision of the prayer book has taken ID years.
Tho third day was devoted largely to the
presentation of oral missionary reports by Bish-
ops to the House of Bishops and the House OF
Deputies In joint session.
Bishop Clark was selected to preside, and his
opening speech referred to the large offerings
contributed annually by the Church to the
which it had been disbursed. He thought the
coming year would prove more fruitful than
any of its predecessors.
Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky then delivered
an earnest address on the work of the mission
among the colored people. There could be"
he said, mo solution of the question in the
idle proposition to send 100000 of these peo-
to stay. Their home is in the South land and
there they will stay. They have the same
right here as the whites, and the Church can
make no distinction. notwithstanding the
doubt prevailing in the minds of some with
reference to the proposition.
Two must exercise great caution in ordain-
Ing white ministers and in elevating colored
men. The color line is drawn, and thereby
drawn in the Church. The demand is urgent
to advance the colored men. You hear of the
Org for colored Bishops, which is IN indication
of it."
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, followed with
an address on the Indian missions. He thanked
God that the first baptism in this country was
that OF an Indian, who was subsequently given
q title of nobility. When the Bishop went to
Minnesota 20 years ago there were 10000 In
dians in his territory. 1t was the darkest
hour for the work among the red men. Mis-
sionarss had been sent out and deserted, and
many had bsen warned from tho Chippewa
Nation. II did not heed their warnings"
said the Bishop and my work was crowned
with success There are now many missi on
aries, but there is yet much to be done, ss-
pscially among the seminolss. the most badly
used of all Indian tribes by tho Government"
The next day a special committee was Sc
lected en- the Columbus celebration, which will
hold q meeting to arrange . program Of re-
ligious exercises for the celebration Of Oct. 81
Different amendments to the prayer book were
presented to the convention in the proper order
and were passed. There was hot discussion
over this amendment:
The decalog may be omitted, provided it
be said once on each Sunday. But note, that
whenever it Is omitted the minister shall say
the summary of the law, beginning, Hear
what our Lord Jesus Christ saieth.'"
The amendment was finally adopted, as the
sentiment of the Convention was clearly fos it.

county where Republican employer
and a Democratic employee had a
controversy about the force bill
plank in the Republican platform.
The controversy, we understand,
ended in the former calling the latter
a liar for asserting that there was
such plank, telling him that he had
enough of it, and to leave his shop;
that he did not want him any more.

/ Grand Democratic Meeting.


The first Democratic gun of the
campaign was fired at Charles Town
on Thursday last. The Cleveland,
Stevenson and Wilson. Club of this
place, now about 400 strong, deter
mined to open the campaign in this
locality on that occasion, and TO that
end several distinguished gentlemen
were invited to speak. The prelimi-
nary arrangements were made by
Mr.. j. C. Holmes, member of the
State Executive Committee and Pres
ident of the Club, mho displayed his
well-known energy and skill in such
matters. A band stand was erected
in front of the courthouse, with an
illuminated arch next to the street,
and from this stand the efficient
Charles Town Cornet Band, under
the leadership of Mr.. t. NJ. Baker,
assisted by Prof. R. E. Walsh. dis
coursed patriotic airs. The speak
ing was advertised to commence at
z o'clock, and long before that hour,
notwithstanding the threatening state
of the weather, the stalwart Demo
Gratis of the county began to gather,
and when the speakers arrived
large and enthusiastic audience
greeted their appearance.
The meeting was called to order by
F. w. Brown, Esq. who alluded in
an able manner to the issues of the
campaign. In the course of his re-
marks he referred to the wisdom
displayed by the Democratic party
heretofore by placing at the head of
their national ticket the name of Gro
yer Cleveland and choosing as their
gubernatoriaI candidate in West Yir-
ginia Col. VIM. A. MacCorkle, who
is an untiring, energetic champion.
The illusions to each of these evoked
from the audienceunstin applause.
He then introduced the Hon. James
NJ. Beck, of Philadelphia, who de-
livered speech of about two hours
in length, and was listened to with
rapt attention. His expositions of
the campaign issues were mastery in
the extreme. We do not recoIlect
to have heard more able presenta-
ton of Democratic principles, His
criticisms of President: Harrison
letter of acceptance, of the McKin-
ley Bill and Force Bill, and of the
utterances of the Republican states
men, were just and impartial, but
pointed, emphatic and convincing.
After the close of Mr.. Beck's
speech the Hon. Stuart W. Walker,
of Berkeley, district candidate for
the House of Delegates, was intro
duced, after being londIy called for
by the audience, and though suffer
ing intensely with a severe cold,
spoke eloquently for short time OF
the campaign in West Virginia and
the prospect of success.
The Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, who
was present, was then voctferously
called for, and though declining to
make speech, related several in
stances within his own personal
knowledge of the effect of the Nc
Kinley Tariff Bill to the detrimen t
of wage-earncrs and consumers. He
promised a set speech at Charles
Town in short time on these ques-
tions.
Preceding the speaking a hand
some Cleveland, Stevenson and Will
son banner was flung to the breeze
across Washington street, from the
Jail to Washington Hall.
