Industrial Convention,

Grievances to Be Presented to the st. Louis
Industrial Convention.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 2O.-Every mine in the
State is represented at the meeting of the
Ohio District American Mine Workers.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing the
speedy passage of a law to prohibit Chinese
immigration; that all delegates shall, upon
their return home, circulate petitions to be
sent to Congress to this effect; that dele
gates believe it to the best interest of the
craft that this district be represented in the
great industrial conference to be held in St.
Louis, February %, as the semi-monthly
pay law has been grossly violated in
certain sub-districts in regard to ward
age. Each miner driving narrow work, or
yardage, shall demand from the mine or nit
boss that his place shall be measured and
his yardage turned in and paid for monthly
under penalty of suspension or expulsion;
that all miners not belonging to some min.
ers' union after May 1 shall be considered
non-union men and shall be treated as such:
that the mine inspector be urged to enforce
the law in regard to break troughs; that the
Legislature be urged to pass a law re-
quiring the weighing of all coal before
screening.
Resolutions demanding machine miners
be paid three-ffths the price for thick min
ing, and recommending the abolishing or
the defense fund, were recommended by the
committee, but will be acted upon later.

FOR FREE SILVER COINAGE.

Johnson's Proposal That an International
Monetary Conference Be Held Sat Down
Upon-Action Postponed on the Bland
Bill for Several Weeks.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Committee
on Coinage Weights and Measures met to-
day and voted to report free coinage bill
to the House. After the committee got to
work this morning Mr.. Pierce, of Tennes-
see, again offered his resolution proposed
at the meeting last week declaring it to be
the sense Of the committee that q bill for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
should be reported to the House without
delay.
AS substitute for this resolution, Mr..
Bartine, of Nevada, offered the following:
Resolved, That the committee proceed at
once to the consideration of the question of
the free coinage of silver, taking the Bland
free coinage bill as the basis of such consid-
Grafton.
Mr.. johnson, of North Dakota, pro
posed that the committee substitute for the
Bland bill, the bill introduced by him pro-
viding for an international monetary con
ference as the basis of consideration of the
silver question. On this motion of Mr.
johnson there was a fair alignment of the
members of the committee who were
present as respects their views on the silver
question.
The result was defeat of Mr.. Johnson's
motion bv vote of Z to q Mr.. johnson
and Mr.. Stone, of Pennsylvania, cast the
only affirmative votes. The negative votes
were cast by Messrs Bland, Williams, of
Illinois, Robertson Pierce, Epes, Nc
Keighan and Bartine.
Mr.. Tracey, of New York, who is op-
posed to free silver coinage, came into the
committee room Just as the vote was con-
cluded, and, as his vote would not have
changed the result, he did not cast 1t. The
three absentees were Williams, of Massa-
chusetts; Taylor, of Illinois, and Kilgore, of
Texas.
Mr.. Bartine's motion was then carried
with no dissenting vote save that of Mr.
Pierce, of Tennessee, who had no objection
to the resolution itself, but preferred the
resolution offered by himself The Bartine
resolution having been adopted, Mr. Pierce
moved that a final vote be taken on the
Bland bill two weeks from to-day at II
o'clock. Mr.. Stone, of Pennsylvania, an
anti-free silver free coinage man, made a
conservative speech, in which he suggested
that the vote be deferred until three weeks
from to-day, and this suggestion was unani-
mously agreed to.
1t was further resolved that the commit:
tee should hold special meetings at the call
of the chairman for the purpose of hearing
such persons as might desire to address the
committee and whom the committee in its
discretion might decide to accord hearing.
The feeling in the committee was very
pleasant and no disposition was shown to
delay consideration. 1t is expected that the
bill will get into the House about the 10th
Of February and it is the purpose of the
silver men to call 1t up before the month of
February ends.

CLERICALS FOR GARZA.
THE CHURCH PARTY NOW OPENLY
EsPOUsEs HIS CAUSE.

Thousands of Thieves and smugglers Ready
to Get i'm Their Work-Genera1 Mabrey
Talks with Mrs. CARA and Her Father
Confident of = Capture.
SILVER CITY, n. NJ, Jan. 2O.-[Special !
The leaders of the Clerical party in Mex
leo declare the church has nothing to do
with the Cara uprising, but that statement
must be taken with many grains of allow
ance. While Diaz has been very popular
with all classes in Mexico, except the Cler-
icals, and has done more to develop the
country than any of his predecessors, he has
lost no opportunity to curtail the power of
the church, which has always been an i'm
portant factor in Mexican politics
That policy has been criticised severely
by the Clerical party, and it is not to be
supposed that the leaders of that party
would allow an opportunity like the pres
ent to 90 unimproved. 1t is believed here
that not only are the Clericals warm sup
porters of the revolution, but that the
church is furnishing funds with which to
maintain the revolutionary forces. There
is not town along the border in Mexico
where numbers of supporters of the move
ment cannot be found, and they aresonly
waiting tor an opportunity to join the revo-
lOTceS.
Thousands of Mexican cattle thieves and
smngglers are on both sides of the border,
waiting for hostilities to commence in order
to begin operations on an immense
scale. No reliable news can be obtained
from the interior of Mexico, but there is lit
tie reason to doubt that the situation there
is as critical as it is on the border.
Adjutant General Mabrey has Just re-
turned from the Rio Grande. In answer to
the inquiry how he had gotten back with
out encountering Cara, he replied: 'There
was very little danger of that. I believe
that Cara is in trouble on account of de-
moraization and disaffection and even de-
sertions of some of his men. believe, too,
that he will either surrender or be captured
within the next ten days by the rangers.
sI visited Garza's father-in-law and Mrs.
Cara, and tried to assure them that it was
best for Cara to surrender. The
old man, however, did not be-
lieve Cara would surrender, and Mrs
Cara, who is quite pretty and ap-
parently rather patrician in appearance,
seemed to be proud of her. husb band, who
evidently impressed her with the idea that
he will eventually be the ruler of Mexico

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
GEORGE W. CHILDS WINS A SUIT
WITH HANDS DOWN.

1t Doesn't Take a Jury Long to See the
Point of the Judges Charge-No Libel
When q Court Record Was Quoted and
Without Malice.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-[ Special IA
verdict for the defendant was rendered by
the jury to-day in Common Pleas Court No.4
in the suit of Windham E. Megargee against
George w. Childs, to recover damages for
an alleged libel which was printed in the
Public Ledger of October Is last. The article
in question was headed: ga Too Familiar
Neighbor-He Is Charged With Trying to
Poison Family Out of Revenge"
1t was shown that the alleged libelous ar
ticle was the report of a hearing before
Magistrate John NJ. Heydriek, of Flour
town, Montgomery county, at which Me-
gargee appeared and had certain charges
made against him. The plaintiff claimed
that the publication was false and libelous,
as such a charge did not appear in the
Magistrates transcript.
Mr.. Megargee himself admitted that he
had been before the Magistrate on the
charge of having profusely strewn paris
green mixed with corn and other substances
on the fences, over the vegetables in the
garden and on the grass. near his neighbours
house. In charging the jury Judge Wilson
said:
So far as accounts of proceedings before a
Magistrates Court are concerned, if these
accounts are reasonably true and accurate,
and fairly and substantially correct they
are regarded as privileged communications,
as they take place in q court of justice.
When these accounts in the daily news
papers are reasonably and substantially cor
rect the newspapers are free from responsi-
bility. No one would condemn more than

press, If those reports wantonly trified with
the character OF any citizen, and in this
respect the proprietors of the daily
newspapers have a peculiar responsibility
in preventing the publication of such re-
ports But while this liability is present, at
the same time it is equally important that
license given to it in publishing the so-called
privileged communications, the newspapers
should be protected, for the importance Of
the mission OF the public press as a factor
for enlightenment and the maintaining of
peace of the Commonwealth is recognized
by the law, and it is now held that the pub
lie press has right to give to the public in
formation of proceedings which take place
in public courts of justice, and, where no
malice is shown, the press is not response
BILE.
The question in this case is not whether
the plaintiff is guilty or innocent OF the
charge ascribed to him in the publication.
The real question is whether Mr.. Childs
published libel in his paper. Hence. arises
the question as to what the charge brought
against the plaintiff in this magistrates
hearing was. If the article in question is
substantially correct in its statement OF the
charge brought against Megargee, and If it
took place in the magistrates hearing, then
the defendant is not responsible.
1t was left for the jury to decide whether
or not the statement that Megargee was
charged with trying to poison family out
OF revenge" was reasonably accurate state

1t win Convene at the Same Time as the
National Convention-About Six Thou
sand Full Pledged Clubs Represented in
Its Membership.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A meeting OF
the Executive Committee of National Clubs
was held here this afternoon. The session
is composed of delegates from the Demo-
cratic clubs from the various States and ter
ritories, and meets once in four years at
some date subsequent to the holding of the
National Democratic Convention. The
President is Chauncey F. Black, of York,
Pa; the Secretary is Lawrence Gardner, of
Washington, d. c., and the Treasurer, Gov
ernor Flower, of New York.
The meeting of the Executive Committee
was presided over to-day by Representative
William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, the
Chairman. The members present beside
President Wilson and Secretary Gardner
were: Robert G. Montoe, of New York
City, by proxy, to represent John d. War
Der; Alexander T. Aukeny, of Minneapo-
lis, Mimi; Chauncey T. Black, of York,
Pa; HI. n. Collinson, of Boston; George H.
Lambert, of Newark. n. j.; Harry w.
Rusk, of Baltimore; Bradley g. Schley, of
Milwaukee, Wis; Edward B. Whitney, of
New York City.
The principal business of the committee
at this time is to determine the time and
place for the meeting of the General Com
mittee Of the association. The latter body
is composed of four representatives from
each State and Territory, and the member
ship is therefore about 400. 1t was decided
TO hold the meeting of this committee at the
place and date of the meeting of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, which will be
decided bv the National Executive Commit
tee at its meeting here tomorrow.
The report of the Secretary of the asso-
citation showed that there are between 5000
and 5000 clubs on the rolls Every State
and Territory is represented AS each of
the 5000 or 5000 clubs is entitled to send
one representative to the convention. that
body is one of considerable magnitude.
Owing to its representative character the
meetings are regarded as of great import
ance from a political standpoint. The asso-
citation was organized at a meeting held four
years ago in Baltimore. A committee was
TO arrange for an excursion to
on Jefferson's birthday, the 18th
of April, and to select an orator for that
occasion.

BOSTON, Jan. 90. - Special. - National
Divorce Reform Leaguers met to-day in an
nual conference to note. the progress made
during the past year and see what the fut-
ure promised. The members heard some
interesting news from their secretary, but
although he reported great interest in the
work of the league, the treasurer's report
showed small deficit, and the secretary
confessed that the loss would have been
much greater if the most rigid economy had
not been practiced
The report of the Corresponding Secre-
tary, Rev. Samuel d ylIe, LII. D., was the
chief feature Of the meeting, and it con-
tanned this important suggestion concerning
the popular misconception as to the work
and purposes of the league:
Notwithstanding all our care and reitera-
tion for several years, there is still a large
and almost only thought of divorce reform
implies that it is a matter OF legislation
chiefly, and especially of uniform
statute law. Such overlook the facts
ascertained under the investigations
we have caused to be made, which show that
so per cent of all the divorces in the United
States were granted to parties who had been
married in the very States in which they
obtained divorce, while large part of the
remaining 20 per cent can be ascribed to the
inducements which are offered by our con-
flicting laws. They disturb marital rela-
tions in an unhappily large number of in
stances, and therefore we seek greater uni
formity. But the leap to the con-
clusion that uniform law is the chief
need is unwise, though many take it. For il is
well to remember that, in spite of all the un-
certainties that are possible under our het-
erogenous laws most people who are married
or divorced, or who make wills or inherit
property, are practically unaffected for good
or ill by the conflict of laws. In other words,
the problem of uniformity, as we have fire.
quently affirmed, is only part of the great
legislative problem.

DEDHAM, MASS, Jan. 20.-G Special. J.
Five years ago William H. and Charlotte

agreement to that effect was signed by both
husband and wife. The husband. an engin-

located in Atlantic. With him was Alice

On. Monday Mr. Watts died. On the
same day Mrs. Watts, the legally married,
