The Board of Managers for the Soldiers
Homes Looking After the Money.
The Board of Managers of the National
Soldiers Homes will meet in Washington
to-day to audit the books of each institu-
tion and furnish Congress with information
about the appropriations. General A. l..
Pearson, General Barnett, of Cleveland;
General George W. Steele, Indiana, and
General ]. C. Black, of Chicago, left for
the capital last evening. They met at the
Union depot. General Pearson said he
wasn't afraid that the Democratic House
would cut down any of the appropriations
About S2,000 900 are needed annually to
run all the homes in the country. There
are seven national homes and is State and
Territorial institutions. The Government
gives the latter 500 yearly for every SOL
der. The number, of old and decrepit
soldiers in all the homes is about $4,000,
and they must be provided for. 1t takes
nearly 100000 of the appropriations for
the State institutions. For several years
the number of veterans in the homes has
varied very little, but the old BOYS are
dying off verv rapidly.
General Steele used to be Governor of
Oklahoma He retired as soon as the
President could get man to take his
place. He says the country is rich, and
after law and order were restored it be-
came really desirable place in which to
live the people love excitement, but
they are hustlers. The General was guarded
in talking on political subjects, and re-
marked that supporting Blaine was about
the same thing as booming Harrison. He
believes they are playing into each others
hands.

a distinctive Anglo-Saxon type, will be
fully represented. Plans of the great pub
lie buildings, the parliament house and
other structures, in which Americans are

TOOK BRENNEN'S SCALP.

Three Country Members OF The Demo-
cratic state Committee Defeat the Alle-
gheny County Leader for Chairman of
the Third Division-Hustling for Sup
porters
Three Democratic statesmen came in
from the rural regions yesterday, and
quietly walking up into W.J. Brennen's
law office, took one of his many official
scalps and before the doughty county Chair
man had time to recover himself, they had
returned to their constituents-happy and
victorious This peculiar piece of political
strategy was carried out at a meeting OF the
State Committeeman of the Third d.
vision to elect Chairman for the ensuing
year. The meeting was to have been held
at II o'clock, but when that time came
only John Kuhns, of Westmoreland county;
Austin Clark, of Armstrong county, and *.
A. Mccullough, also of Armstrong county,
had shown up in Mr. Brennen's office. The
three country members came In together
with peculiar air and a determination to
defeat the slated plan to re-elect Mr. bren-
men Chairman.
The latter isn't used to defeat in his own
party. and when he discovered the plot he
excused himself from the meeting with the
statement that he must attend to some busl-
ness in the Court House, and would return
in few minutes. When he got outside
the legal business was dropped by Mr..
Bremen, and instead he hustled over the
city to get enough of the Il members of the
State Committee in the Third division to
suppress the three enthusiastic country
members and elect himself 1t took an
hours hard work to get the required num-
ber. and it was not until 1:15 that he re-
turned to his office with P. Foley, B. Nc
Kenna and Mr.. Tracy as acrew of life savers
to land him safely on the other shore.
In the meantime, however, the three men
from the outside had organized by electing
Mr. Kuhns President, and Mr.. Mccullough
Secretary They went into an election at
once, and Mr.. Clark won on the first ballot.
Three cheers were given to the successful
candidate, and while he had taken the as
sembly out to ''set 'em up" Mr.. Bremen
and his three friends returned. They de-
cided the State Committee was the proper
body to elect Chairman, and passed reso-
luton recommending that Mr.. Bremen be
given the place at the meeting on January
90 The two factions assured the news
papers that their course was the only proper
one. The question will probably be settled
bv the State Committee.

the Pottcrs' Meeting.
Homer Laughlin and other East Liver
pool potters left for Chicago last evening to
attend the annual convention of the Ma
tional Potters' Association. Outside OF the
social features the main subject under dis
cusson will be the Worlds Fair. This is
the reason why the Windy City was Sc
lected as the meeting place. Mr. Laughlin
says the foreign manufacturers intend to
make display, but they will have to be on
the alert to beat the homie potters. The lat
ter are determined to have an exhibition
that will be creditable to the industry and
the country. The Fair committee has
promised the potters plenty of space, and
they will fill it to the queens taste: Some
general plan of action will be outlined at
this meeting.
Mr.. Laughlin says the prospects for busi-
ness are very good. He added that there IS
no line of pottery ware made abroad which
can't be produced in America.

Trouble Over shoenberser's Beques..

There will be meeting of Trinity P. E.
Church congregation Friday evening to as
certain their views regarding the bequest
of $1,000 made by the late John Shoen-
berger. 1t is claimed that majority of the
members are in favor. of accepting the gift,
but few oppose it and think it should go
to st. Margaret's Memorial Hospital There
will not be much objection to holding daily
services, but an assistant to the rector will
be required. The pew holders would still
have to contribute if the gift is accepted, as
the 500, 900 would not bring in more than
s4, 500 per year, while the present expenses
are $9,0OO.s 1t will be necessary to go into
court to secure certain alterations in the in
corporate laws if the gift is accepted, for
now the pew holders elect the vestry, and
with free pews there would be no one to
vote for vestrymen.

Senator Hill and Grover Cleveland Have an
Interview on the Situation.
Henry B. Plumer, ex-Collector of the
Port at Philadelphia, was a guest at the
Anderson last night. He stopped over to
sec his son, who is engaged in business In
Pittsburg Mr.. Plumer is Democrat
whose dictates for the good of his party
have been often needed. He was Penn
sylvania delegate who helped to nominate
Cleveland at Chicago in 1884. Referring to
the delegates at large who will represent
the keystone contingent at the next Demo-
cratic National Convention he thought that
the slate published in THE DISPATCH of
yesterday-Harrity and Singerly-would
be undoubtedly chosen.
Mr. Plumer is a warm personal friend OF
Grover Cleveland, and when asked his
opinion of the ex-President's chances for re-
nomination he avoided answering the ques-
tion directly. The H1ll-Gorman possible
barrier to his success was referred to by the
reporter, which the gentleman handled in
this manner:
"a friend of both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Hill told me in Philadelphia night or so
ago that the two .aspirants for the chair re-
Gently had a conference of some length,
talking over the general situation, pros
poets, things to avoid, and everything, in
fact. tending to the best interests in the
fight of '92. They. as my informant says,
parted both extremely satisfied and san
guine of success The main point, however,
of the interview was that Senator Hill
promised his full support to Cleveland If
the latter was the choice of the conven-
tion.''
"What if Hills name goes before the
convention amid great applause, and he is
ultimately nominated, will Cleveland's fol-
lowing support him?"
81 don't know about that. Hill is a
shrewd politician, and he can pull many
wires and work machines, but if the result
were to be left with the rank and file as
well as many staunch and sturdy people,
Cleveland would be an easy winner; he is
so eminently popular

holders is now over 5000, but in many
cases families use the same card, so that it
is fair to estimate the total number of reg

tives Go Pledged for Johnston.
The Pittsburg Builders Exchange met
yesterday afternoon and closed up the busi-
ness for 1891. The Secretary read report
showing what had been done. 1t was shown
that in January. 1891, there were but 145
members, but now the rolls show a men,
bership of $40, with only three deaths and
two designations during the year.
The Exchange then proceeded to instruct
its delegates for the national convention.
Here the session grew exciting, as one of the
members offered resolution to withdraw
from the National Association entirely.
His reasons for it were on account of the
ungentlemanly treatment the Exchange had
received from National Secretary Saynard,
that gentleman having snubbed it on sew
eral occasions 1t was finally agreed not to
withdraw but to send the delegates in
structed to vote for J. B. Johnston, editor
of the Exchange, for the secretaryship. Say
nard wants to be reelected, and also wants
the Presidency next year. The Pittsburg
members think they can defeat him, as they
have the largest representation. Mr.. john
