CARTER IS CHAIRMAN.
Resig nation Of W. J. Campbell
Accepted by the National
Committee
And Land Commissioner Thorn
as H. Carter Chosen to
Succeed Him.
The Appointment Of a Secretary
Left to the Discretion Of
the Chairman.

New YORK, July 1S.-Thomas Fl.
Carter, of Montana has been elected
chairman of the Republican national
committee. There were many well
known Republicans congregated at the
Fifth Avenue hotel as early as 9 o'clock
a. m. to attend the meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Republican ma
tional committee, which was called for
II a. m. Among the more promin-
emit of those present were Henry c..
Payne, of Wisconsin, James S. Clark
son, of Iowa, William A. Sutherland, of
New York, R. G. Kerenes, of Missouri,
Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, secre-
tary Of the committee, and Senator
Frank Hiscock.
Chairman Campbell, of the national
committee did not attend, but Mr..
Payne had his resignation, which was
rendered at the meeting The resigna-
ton was accepted, after which the COM
mlttee and some of its advisors went to
the Hoffman House and ordered lunch.
when lunch was ordered nothing was
settled. Before discussion of coffee and
cigars had been completed the Gordian
knot had been cut. Thomas h.
Carter had been prevailed upon to take
the Craftsmanship himself. This deci-
sion being reached the conferees re-
turned to the Fifth Avenue hotel and
went into the committee room to place
the official stamp on the recess arrange
ment. The news spread rapidly. At
$3.50, when the committee reassembled,
after Chairman Sutherland had called
the meeting to order, Mr.. Clarkson arose
and made the nomination of Mr.. Carter.
The nomination was warmly seconded
by Mr.. Payne and unanimously carried.
On motion of Mr.. Clarkson, j. F. Burke,
OF Pittsburg, was appointed secretary
pro tenn. 1t was also agreed that the
appointment of the permanent secretary
be left to the discretion of the chairman.

LEAGUE or AMERICAN WHEELMEN.

The Convention at Washington Promises
to Be the Largest Ever Held.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The national
capital, with its broad, smooth streets
and outlying roads, and numerous points
of interest, which are the principal at
fractions of visitors, today presented an
enlivened appearance with numerous
squads of visiting knights of the wheel
speeding along its principal boulevards
under the guidance of the local wheel
men. The headquarters of the L. A. w.
is crowded with members of the various
clubs covering a territory reaching from
Portland, Me-, to Houston, Tex, and as
far west as Michigan. All day long the
clubs have been coming in and are being
met at the depotn by bands of music and
escorted to the headquarters, where they
receive enthusiastic receptions. Presi-
dent Burdette, of the L. A. w., predicts
great success for the meeting, which he
says will be the largest ever held. All
the famous riders of the country, with
the exception of Zimmerman, who is
winning lau-els in England, are entered,
and if the weather is favorable success
is insured

The Present Session of Congress
Rapidly Approaching
the End.
Adjournment Looked for About
the Last of July or First
Of August.
The Anti-Option Bill the Only
Measure Left to Delay the
Session.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Congress is
rapidly approaching the end of the ses-
sion, and, in the opinion of the house
leaders, this week will probably witness
the closing scene. On the other hand,
however, the opinion prevails among the
minority that adjournment will not be
reached before the LIST of August.
On Tuesday at II o'clock vote will
be taken on the worlds fair proposition
in the sundry civil bill, and it is
believed a final vote on the bill itself
will also occur on that day. The report
on the investigation of the pension will
be called on Tuesday by Mr.. Enloe who
hopes to have a cloture rule reported by
the committee on rules in order to force
q vote on the question of adoption the
maiority's recommendation that Com
missioner Raum be dismissed. The
deficiency and the fertilization appropria-
ton bills are expected to receive atten-
ton during the latter part of the week.
The Senate.
Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, re-
mains firm in his belief that there is a
set purpose on the part of the leaders OF
the senate to force an adjournment just
as soon as the last appropriation bill has
been fully disposed of, in order to pre-
vent action by the senate on the anti
option bill, which he takes so much in
terest in and which has passed the house
and only needs concurrence by the SEN
ate to send it to the president. He has
shown by two test votes that there Is a
majority of at least five in the senate in
favor of the enactment Of some legisla-
ton on this subject, and he thinks he
can get the bill through without ma
ter;al amendment if he can only call it
up and make it unfinished business. His
chief difficulty lies in the fact that so
soon as he starts with the bill an appro-
priation bill is thrust in the road, and he
finds himself facing no thoroughfare. 1t
is apparent that the anti-option bill is
the key to the situation so far
as an early adjournment is concerned. If
that bill can be postponed till December
an adjournment between the LIST and 9th
of August is possible, and even probable.
If it gets before the senate as the con-
tinuing order, with all the appropria-
ton bills out of the way, there is no
telling how long the session may last.
Senators who have voted with Mr..
Washburn to take up the bill are by
no means satisfied with it in its present
form. They will propose, and will pro-
badly carry amendments which will
send it back for consideration by the
house and an almost interminable strug-
gle may thus be brought about.
There is really nothing else likely to
delay congress. The sundry civil bill,
even with the worlds fair boomerang
attached, can probably be disposed of in
conference in ten or twelve working
days, and the pending Notifications and
deficiency bills are likely to occupy still
less time.

Fired from The Militia,

ST. PAUL, July 18.-Adjutant General
Mullen has issued general orders No. 10.
Besides the usual changes in the various
regiments of the state caused by resigna-
lions, eleven men have been discharged
from the state militia. This action was
occasioned by the riots at Tower. Two
members of Company G, Third regi-
ment, were dishonorably discharged for
refusing to respond for duty when or
dered to Tower and for abusing
their superior officers. The nine
remaining were also discharged
from the Third regiment for the "good
of the service" Seven were from Com
pany D, and two from Company B.
Unsoldierly conduct is the cause as
signed in the latter case.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 18.-Instead of
sending in their names as individuals
and applying for their old positions in
response to the notice posted by Mr..
Prick on Saturday, the former employees
of the Carnegie company who are not
members of the Amalgamated associa-
ton got together and unanimously de-
cided to stand out to the end. The meet
ing was held in the rink. 1t was called

ments, but it included all daily wage
workers. These men number about
1000 and include the Hungarians. The
meeting was attended by about 1000

VARIOUS OPINIONS.

Winnebago City Press Nears: In
America public opinion rules, and in
telligence moulds public opinion.
Public opinion is decidedly opposed
to an organization known as Pinker-
ton detectives, and the legislatures
of the several states, Minnesota in
cluded, will doubtless see to it that
this body of men are prevented in the
future from operating within their
borders.
Red Wing Republican: The bust
ness at Homestead is affected by the
tariff. But there is no duty upon sill
yer nor silver ore. In one case it is a
protected industry. In the other the
industry is not protected. The same
trouble exists at both. 1t is not
caused by protection, then. What
ever may be the cause it is not the
tariff, because the trouble exists
where the tariff does not.

STRONG RESOLUTIONS.
Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly Oh
the Homestead Affair,

Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly on
the Homestead Affair.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-By far the most
radical declarations yet made by any
labor organization in the United States
respecting the Homestead trouble We're
adopted at the meeting of the Chicago
Trades and Labor Assembly during the
afternoon. The meeting was the semi
annual gathering of delegates for the
purpose of electing officers for the ensu-
ing six months and hence the attendance
was large. The attack on the Pinker-
tons and Carnegie management had all
been arranged for and as soon as Presi-
dent Mitchell raped for order, motion
was carried to suspend the rules and the
transaction of business and receive a
report from the executive board on the
Homestead affair.
The resolutions, after denouncing the
"Pinkerton assassins'' in unmeasured
terms for their action at Homestead and
elsewhere concludes as follows:
Resolved By the Trades Assembly of
Chicago, that we demand of the COVER
nor of Illinois that he Immediately cause
the arrest of William Pinkerton, of
Chicago, upon the charge of murder and
melting riot and instruction; that we call
upon Governor Roswell P. Flower, of New
York, to cause the arrest of Robert Pin
ksrton, upon similar charge, aud we
request Governor Paterson, of Pennsyl-
vania, to cause the arrest of Manager II.
G. Frick, of Homestead, Pa, on the charge
of treason. murder, melting riot, insur-
rection, and rebellion and at this moment
trying to deprive American citizens of
their home and their right to earn their
living at their homes and in the mills
which their labor has created and built
up, and,
Resolved, That committee be appoint
ed to draw up the charges of murder,
against the Pinkertons and II. c. Prick.
and to cause their arrest and prosecution.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted and committee of five was
appointed to draw up the formal charges
of murder, with instructions to secure
the best legal advice to assis.. ...-xs., Il

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The story
