A STATE STORY DENIED
No Trouble Between Ex-Secretary Blaine
and John w. Foster.

No Trouble Between Ex-Secretary Blaine
and John W. Foster.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Mr. John W.
Foster said to-day that M. H. De Young in
his recent interview had fallen into the
error of accepting as true report sent out
from Washington last week by some special
correspondents of what purports to be an
account of the conference between Nh.
Blaine and the Canadian Commissioners in
this city on June and 4 at the State De-
partment
'That story" said Mr.. Foster, ''is wholly
without foundation. There was not the
slightest divergence of views between Mr..
Blaine and myself, not an unpleasant word
spoken by anyone during the entire con-
ference, and it was adjourned in the best
temper by all present. but not until all the
business was dispatched. This statement
as to the conference would now doubtless
be confirmed by MI. Blaine we're it not for
the deep bereavement which takes him
from all thought of public affairs
81 was present at the conference at the
express invitation of Mr.. Blaine himself,
and my relation to the reciprocity negotia-
tions of the past year, alluded to by Mr.. De
Young, was at the special request of Mr..
Blaine, without any previous intimation
on the part of President Harrison. In fact,
the President knew nothing about the ar
rangement made by the Secretary of State
and myself until after 1t had been corsum-
mated, and it would not have been con-
tinued moment by me if any want of har.
mony between us had ever arisen. Up to
the last our relations were of the most cor
dial and friendly character.

fines returned, but His Honor stoutly re-
fused, saying the defendants had knowingly
violated the law and if the fines were re-
mitted it would be an encouragement TOR
others.

the ordinance officer is looking them up.
Will Be Prosecuted for Perjury.
He said yesterday that the legitimately
licensed peddlers had resolved to take the
matter in hand and prosecute every old
soldier caught violating the law in this re-
spect. Charges Of perjury and false pre-
lenses will be entered, and an effort
made to stop the fraud. The ped
dlers say that they must pay the
full amount of the license and they
will not permit others to get the same
privileges at half that expense if it'can be
avo ded. Interesting developments are ex-
pec.ed of meeting of the peddlers which
is expected to take place in a day or two.
The crusade against the illegal peddlers
has caused complaints from the commission
merchants'on Liberty street. They say that
there is not halt as many peddlers' wagons
on Liberty street since the ordinance officer
has begun his work, and in consequence
much of the stuff that cannot be sold ON
Liberty street, and which the hucksters
have heretofore taken off the dealers
hands and peddled through the suburbs
must now be consigned to the garbage
furnace. The effect of this has been agree
ably noticeable in the suburbs, where the
lcud-mouthed believing OF the peddler has
been for the past few days almost un-
heard

John Woods.
The will of the late John Woods, of
Snowden township, was filed yesterday for
probate. At the same time q cayeat was
filed by William Woods, son of the testa-
tor, protesting against the probate of his
fathers will. Both parties have figured

he was defeated, and the old man declared
sane. The father lived with his daughter.
Mrs Ada M. Mccormick, and she contended
that her brother only wanted their fathers
property.
The will filed yesterday is dated June 16,
1885, and has codicil dated June %, 1891.
By the original will d 800 each is given to
William Woods, his son, and Mrs McCor-
mick, his daughter; $1,000 and all his per-
sonal property to his wife Nancy Woods,
and the farm on which they lived to his
wife and daughter for life and at their
death to his grandson, J. w. Mccormick
His wife and DR.. j. c. Mccormick are ap-
pointed executors In the codIcil the be-
quest of 81, 800 to his son William is re-
voked and it is given to Mrs. Nancy
Woods In case of her death before the
testator all her share goes to Mrs. McCor-
mick and from her to her children.

FIGURING ON A BIG MAJORITY.
Gisdstonians Expect 100 Votes to Spare in
the Next Parliament

the Next Parliament
LONDON, June 2L-Mr. Gladstone held a
long conference to-day with Justin Nc
Carthy, John Dillon and Timothy Healy,
all of whom are anti-Parnellites. Mr.. Glad
stone advised that renewed efforts be made
to re-establish union in the Irish Parlia-
mentary party, pointing out the evil effects
that would result to the home rule, move
ment from the continued strife of the Irish
factions. He urged that concessions be made
on each side in order that McCarthyite and
Parnellite candidates should not stand
against each other in parliamentary constit-
uencies in the approaching general cleo
tions.
1t is expected in high Liberal quarters
that Gladstone's majority in the coming
general elections will be larger than that of
any recent Government. Reports from
local Liberal agents declare that the pros
poets are improving beyond the hopes of the
most sanguine. 1t is estimated that the
Liberals will have a majority in Great
Britain of between 60 and 20 members of
Parliament, in addition to the Irish vote,
which will be at least so. Even if the ma
jority in Great Britain does not come up to
what is expected, the combined majority, it
is said, is certain to exceed 100.

-Government Offers Scarce.
VIENNA, June 2L-Count Herbert Bis
marck and the Countess Margaretha Hoyos
were married at 11:30 o'clock this morning
in the Evangelical Church in Dorothea-
Gashe. The weather was beautiful. Prince

did diamond riviere. and Count Herbert's
present is bracelet of brilliants, while the
father of the bride gives her diamond
coronet
Crowds assemble in the Garben and the
kohlmarket, two of the principal streets of
the city, through which the carriages con-
tanning invited guests passed to the church.
Prince Bismarck was loudly cheered as he
drove along the streets from the Palfy
Palace to the church. Six hundred guests
had been invited to attend the ceremony.
The Austrian officials were conspicuous
bv the absence. The Austro- Hungarian
aristocracy was mostly represented by Hun
garian magnates attired in their gorgeous
national costumes. Count Won Schouvalof,
the Russian Ambassador to Germany, was
the only Ambassador present. Besides him
were Count Ernest Hoyos, Count William
Bismarck, who wore the uniform of the
First Dragon Guards. and Prince Nicholas
Esterhazy, Count Palffy.
There was burst of cheering at 11:25
when Prince Bismarck and Count Herbert
arrived. They acknowledged the gresting

Chancellor looked giant beside the group
that surrounded him. He was attired in
the uniform of the German Garde du Corps,
and wore helmet surmounted with silver
eagle. Count Herbert wore the blue uni
form of the First Dragon Guards.

PEDDLED THE PLATES.
The Ordinance officer Unearths a
New and Novel Scheme to
BEAT TIE CITY OUT OF MONEY.
Old Soldiers Sell Privileges to Economical
Rucksters.
SUITS FOR PERJURY THREATENED

Mayor Gourley's one ordinance officer
has earned more than his years salary for
the city within the past week in addition
to saving many dollars since his appoint
ment to domestic consumers OF coal As
stated in THE DlsPATCHa couple of weeks
ago, the officer started out to put stop to
the practice of peddling without a city
license. At first he found that there were
many violators of the law, but they either
stopped peddling or procured the necessary
license at once. Between 80 and 40 license
plates at S35 each were issued by the City
Treasurer last week as a result of this
crusade, and it was evident that few, if any
of that number, would have been taken out
if the officer had not gone after them.
In his investigation the officer found
another class of offenders who were using
plates that had been issued to old soldiers and
illegally transferred. Under an amendment
to the city laws passed in 1889 an old SOL
dier is entitled to peddler's license free of
cost, provided he gives bond of 5000,
shows that he is unable to earn living at
his regular calling and takes an affidavit
that he will not transfer the free plate

Bought Plates From Old Soldiers.
Two plates have already been found that
it is alleged have been thus fraudulently
transferred. James Lawless and William
Celia were arrested on Monday. They
were peddling under cover of license plates
1O4 and 107, issued May 6. At hearing
before Magistrate McKenna yesterday af-
ternoon it was shown that Lawless had
purchased his plate for $40 from Theodore
Barker, a resident of Allegheny, and there
fore not entitled to a license. Celia paid
s15 for his place to William Findlay.
Neither of the old soldiers are known
at the Treasurer's Office nor to the men who
bought the license plates from them. Celia
and Lawless were each fined $50 and costs
by the Magistrate for their participation in
the matter. Soon atterward q number of
politicians called on the Mayor to have the
