GOLD AND SILVER.

What relation did the mine owners

the owners of the mines were making

suppose frcm the argument advanced
tbs profit of the above class was then

operation. How about the owners OF

placed by legislation in the position

one to restore thsmY Wasn't the
elevation Of gold by the degredrtion

then about the profits that would
accrue to the possessors OF the yellow

white metal? 1t is SD hard To ie

Annual Meeting of the American Bar
Association.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The Amer
lean Bar Association met here this
morning and was called to order by
President John F. Dillon. There
was full attendance of members of
the legal fraternity from almost
every state in the Union. President
Dillon, after the preliminaries Of organi-
Zation were gone through, delivered his
annual address. A feature Of the ses-
sion will be the discussion of the re-
port of the committee On international
law. This committee will submit an
exhaustive review of the question
whether ANY legislation by Congress
is desirable and practicable to
give the courts Of the United States iur-
isdiction over criminal proceedings for
acts of violence to the persons or prop
erty of aliens committed by citizens of
the United States" At last years ses-
sion the committee was instructed to
make mere recommendation on the
subject at the present session.

SEARCH FOR MISSING GUNS.
Attempt at HON estead to Find Weapons
kt.asan from the Pinkartnns

Attempt at Homestead to Find Weapons
tt>aen from the Pinkertons.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 29.-There is
much expectancy and subdued excite
ment in Homestead this morning over
search for the guns of the
captured Plnkertons, which has been
ordered for this evening. Much OF the
reluctance in giving up the arms lies in
the fact that possession would fix upon
Homesteaders completely in the riots,
and this evidence would be used
IN bringing suits. Welsh, the nom
unionist who was alleged to have been
desperately assaulted at Munhall, Sat-
urday night, is working in the mill to-
day. 1t is said that his unconscious
ness was more due to drink than
blows.
Statements that there is a serious
clash between the military authorities
and the civil authorities are denied by
Col Gray.
1t was learned this afternoon that the
PlnkertOn agency some time ago sent
forty men into the Carnegie mill as
non-union workmen. These men de-
serted in small squads and we're
taken into the strikers ranks.
They gained the confidence of the
Amalgamated leaders and have. it is
said, gathered considerable evidence
against participants in the riot of July
8, against whom they will make in
formations. 1t is also said that thew
have discovered the place of conceal
ment of the captured rifles and will
proceed against those who have possess
sion of them

BLEW UP A CAR.
1ngots Consigned to Carnegie Scattered

AHKOtH COnSlSneO TO carnegie scattered
with Dynamite.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, Aug. PA arloaded
with ingots was blown up with dyna-
mite, or some other high explosive, on
a side track Of the Allegheny Valley
Railroad, at Thirty-fourth Street, early
this morning. The car was consigned
to Carnegie Company's Thirty-third
Street mill. Fortunately there was no
one within 100 feet of the car when l.
was blown up and the fragments, which
We're scattered IN every direction, did
no injury. The vigilance of the police
has not been relaxed since the first
guard was stationed around the Carne-
gle plant to protect the property as
we'll as the non-union men employed in
the mills, but the placing of the explo-
sive under the car was done while the
officers were within few feet OF the
track, yet they did not know anything
about it until the explosion occurred,
and have no clue to the perpetrators.

Coal CREEK, Tenn, Aug. 23-If Coal
Creek would only remain IS quiet and
peaceful as it is this morning, there
would be no need of a town constable,
much less 600 or 700 troops. Squads have
been sent out in every direction to
search in the mountains and the camp
is almost depopulated. The 125 or more
prisoners are being conducted from the
Methodist Church to cleaner quarters in
the Baptist Church. 1t develops
this morning that the two militia men
who were out on tour through the
mountains yesterday and were late
getting in last night, we're chased by
five armed miners, six or eight miles
from here, and had to make detour of
ten miles to get back to camp. 1t is
rumored this morning that the
governor OF Kentucky has given
permission for the troops to
pursue fugitives across the Kentucky
line, and will cooperate in their cap
ture. Preparations are now being made

train for Jellico, should orders be given

The Second District court has never

greeted Judge Blaisdell this morning.
1t is the date agreed upon for the hear
ing of Miss Lizzie A. Borden on the
charge of killing her father with
an axe. Clergymen, laymen, physi-
clans, and more than $50 ladies
who were not directly connected with
the case were seated and standing in all
parts of the room, while inside the rail
was an extraordinary crowd Of report
ers and otEer newspaper workers.
Ladies occupied more than two-thlrdS
of the seats usually occupied by the
curious gang who usually frequent the
lower courts.
At 1880 o'clock Charles J. Holmes
appeared with Miss Emma Borden on
his arm. Miss Lizzie Borden came in
last with Marshal Hllliard. She was
handed to a seat between her two legal
advisers and near a settee on which her
sister was seated. The two women sat
elbow to elbow. Miss Lizzie was at her

when he was promoted on the field
from the rank Ct lieutenant to q ma jor.
His bravery earned for him the name
among the soldiers of "The Lion of
Mossoro," and upon returning to Rio
Dom Pedro, whom he deposed, public
ly decorated him with the Order of the
Rose. He was then sent as command
ant of the army in Matte Crosse, where
he remained for two years. Returning
to Rio he was given control of the gov
eminent magazine and cartridge facto-
nv there, being raised to the rank Of
general. In 1888, while in Rio, Gen.
Fonseca created a military club, en-.
bracing nearly every officer in the Bra
lillian army, of which he himself was
elected president, and within year or
two his popularity among his fellow
officers led Fonse ca to be called the
Boulanger of Brazil. Republican ideas

that the government only desisted from

tiers had come to crisis in the spring
of 1887, when a controversy arose be-
tween Gen. Fonseca and Franco de Sa.

ministry, and the victorious Fonseca
was recalled. He was the lion of the

larity that Dom Pedro again sent him
away to avoid trouble, this time to
Minas, as civil and military governor of
the province, which position he occu-
pied at the time of the recent uprising.

WORLDS FAIR SENSATION.

FaVoritism.

Supervising Architect Bell Charged with
Favoritism.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. 25--Two treasury
officials arrived here this morning, and
began a secret investigation of charges
against Supervising Architect NJ.
E. Bell, in charge of the
work on the Worlds Fair gov
eminent building. The names of the
complainants are unknown. The charge
is that Mr.. Bell allowed the successful
contractor to see the bids of competi-
tive contractors before the bids were of
fcially opened and permitted him to
change his bid SO as to make it the lowest.
Mr.. Bell was called in and emphatically
denied the truth of the charges, or any
other irregularity. The witnesses OF
the opening of the bids also asserted
that as far as they were able to discover
everything was done regularly.
