MISSISSIPPI WARRANTS.
They Are Getting That State Into
Serious Trouble.

JACKSON, Miss, July 15.-The Miss
issippi legislature, at its last session,
passed an act authorizing the governor,
treasury warrants in denominations Of
S5, should it become necessary, TO tide
the state over the financial panic. Tie
issue was limited to 100000. and the
warrants were to draw interest at the
rate of per cent per annum, payable
Jan. of each year until the Legislature
meets again In 1896. The warrants
weFa made payable to bearer. aud it
was the Intention of the legislature for
them to pass as money all
over the state. Immediately after
the passage of the act the state
auditor contracted with the st. Louis
Bank Note company for the printing of
the warrants, and the first installment
of $4,000 was delivered to the state
treasury and placed in circulation few
weeks ago. Yesterday Gov. Stone re-
ceived dispatch from W. 81. Hazen.
chief Of the United States secret SER
vice at Washington, demanding that
the governor send him all the unsigned
warrants that have not been placed in
circulation. Mr.. HaZen also telegraphed
the st. Louis Bank Note company, de-
manding that the plates be turned over
It'd the government. In an interview to-
day, Gov. Stone stated that he would
not comply with Mr.. HaZen'S demand in
any particular, ana that the issue of the
special warrants will be continued until
the full issue of 100000 is completed.
The state officials regard HaZen's de-
mands as an unwarranted interference,
and will not treat it seriously. They
say that the demands are based on the
assumption that these special warrants
resemble too closely United States
currency, and were violative of, the
statutes of the United States. This is
strenuously denied by Gov. Stone, who
says the act of the legislature is sus-
tanned by the best legal authorities in
the country. The auditor has tele-
graphed the st. Louis Bank Note COM
pany not to pay any attention to Hazen's
demands.

tiyes of the law, the church aud state

Christ was an anarchist and socialist,

an effort to break up all organiza-
tions of laboring men, so that they

had the right to take his labor away

POLITICIAN SUICIDES.
Ex-Postmaster Gentsch, of Buff
falo, Takes His Life.

BUFFALO, July 15.-Bernhard f.
Gentsch, who finished his term as post
master of Buffalo on July last. who
was an eX-member of the assembly, a
large manufacturer, one of the best
known Germans in Buffalo and promi-
nent Republican, killed himself in a
field back of his house OIL Seneca street.
between 10 o'clock this morning and 2
o'clock this afternoon. MIR. Gentsch
left home at 10 O'Clock, telling his wife
that he would take stroll through his
grounds. A neighbor found his body
under a tree on the bank of Buffalo
creek. He had shot himself in his
right temple. Mr.. Gentscn was vice
president of the Hydraulic bank. On
his advice the bank loaned $1,000 to
d produce company. Later the
bank gave the company a further
loan of $4,000 and stood to lose the
$4,000 Gentsch owned a small amount
of stock in the company, aud he was
/ fearful lest his action Ill recommending
the loan might be construed as dis
honest. His broOdings undoubtedly un-
balanced his mind. Bernhard f. Gentsch
was born in Germany, and came to this
country when eighteen years old. He
was in the assembly in 1879. President
Harrison appointed him postmaster i'll
June, 1890. and he was allowed to CON-
plete his term Of four years. He was
actively involved in Republican politics

warn them not to keep any of the new
men which the company had brought In
for work. 1t was necessary, indeed,
for all men not known by the people
out there to carry some sort Of creden--

who applied for anything. Supt. Nc
Cabe Jared no better than his humblest
men. AS consequence the company

THE AUTOPSY.
An autopsy was held on the body of
Luth yesterday afternoon. 1t was con-
Quoted by DR.. Wheaton, assisted by
Drs. FERN, Fennel, Yanten. Mcnamara,
Walsh, and DIR. Phillips. of Preston.
Four bullet wounds were discovered.
The fatal shot had passed through the
base of the aOrta, the great artery of the
heart. 1t was sufficient to cause in
Simultaneous death. One shot imbedded
itself in the right shoulder, having
taken downward course. One shot
had entered and passed through the left
shoulder. The fourth shot had only
pierced the lobe of the left ear. There
was no shot discovered in or through
the head.

Labor Leaders Now Jump on One

NEW YORK, July 15.-The Central
Labor union met in Clarendon hall to-
day. Hardly had the meeting been
called to order, and before any business
was transacted, when Philip Kelley, or
the Theatrical Employees Protective
association, started the ball rolling by
saying that the strike was a decided
success until President Cleveland inter-
fered.
"lf Chief Arthur had confirmed his
convictions the strike would have been
won in twenty.four hours" he de-
clared.
Henry Weissman, of the bakers
union, blamed Debs for calling the
strike off.
"When Debs declared the strike off, !"
he said, lit was blow at organized
labor in this country. If Debs had been
wise he would have conferred with the
Federation of Labor as we'll as the
Knights of Labor, instead of forming a
partnership with Sovereign. Sovereign
assumed too much when he SAID he
would call out 100000 men in this
country. He has not the power to do So"
Master Workman j. b. Archibald said
that DebS conducted the strike admir-
ably until labor lent helping hand by
sending leaders FROM New York, and
then the strike went to pieces. Meyer,
Dampff and Barondesa hoped that some
OF these leaders would be called 10 ac-
count for their action.

dangerous disputes between capital and
labor, nothing better so far has been
suggested than
ARBITRATION
within all the lines Of wisdom and JUS
ice that national legislation can throw
around it. Arbitration will give at least
moral conclusion, against which neither
capital nor labor could we'll hold out.
''Yes; l approve highly of President
Cleveland's course in the strike. His
prompt action brought the state and
city officials, citizens and strikers to
their senses, and. certainly, so far as he
went, he had legal right with him. Mr..
Cleveland deserves we'll of the nation
and the people Of Chicago in particular.
1t were well. indeed. for the principles
of the republic, If city and state author
tiles were always SO prompt and firm in
action as to render needless all appeal
to the national executive. But, talking
i'll a general way without reference to
the city of Chicago or the state of Illi-
nois. Of the affairs of which I am not
fully instructed, the ditTiculty is that
state and city officials are sometimes so
solicitous of political interests and party
considerations that they fear to offend,
and allow social troubles to grow until
repression seems impossible. The need
ofthis country is lofty, disinterested
patriotism. which forgets all minor
allegiances in the presence of the gen.
eral welfare, and has leverage TO make
all sacrifices which may be needed to
uphold this welfare.
"The position of the Catholic church
is easily defined. She stands for right
and duties, for labor and for capital, so
long as both follow duties and the one
allows the right of the other. But al
ways and everywhere, and above all
other civil and social interests or con-
siaerations, she stands for public justice
and social order. She abhOrs and for
bids all approach to lawlessness and

law and stern loyalty to the country

PUDDLERS NAY STRIKE
For q Shade Less Than Four Dol
lars Day

PITTsBURG. Pa, July 15.-Another
strike is imminent in Pittsburg and
vicinity, but it will have no connection
with the Debs movement. If predic-
tions from reliable sources prove true,
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers will attempt on or
about Aug. to shut down all mills here
where puddlers are working for less
than 1915. To accomplish this end.
Assistant President Patrick McEvoy. of
the Amalgamated, whose home is in
Youngstown, has been here for some
time organizing non-union mills, and
it is claimed the movement has
been very successful. The work of
organizing has been going on secretly
but the fact leaked out today. Nom
union mills all over the country are said
to be going through the same process.
The movement for the present is to be
confined to pudding mills. and to be
developed further in the future. Vice
President Carney, when asked concern
ing the above, admitted its truth. He
said it is expected TO bring the Anal
gamated association up to its former
high standard. He refused to say any
thing about strike, but claimed the
organization was being made complete,
and, should a strike be ordered, 1t
| would be successful one.

LESSON OF THE STRIKE.
Rev. Dixon Says 1t Is Government
Ownership of Railways.

Rev. Dixon Says 1t Is Government
Ownership of Railways.
New YORK, July 10. Rev. Thomas
Dixon Jr., who finds text for each
Sundays sermon in the events of the
preceding week, preached in AsSocia-
ton hall today on the strike. This great
uprising of the laborlng classes. which
had cost the country S10.000,000 and
was likely to cost it $1,000 more. had
its origin in great injustice perpe-
trated by somebody. 1t was impossible
to imagine the laboring classes. after
enduring the miSerieS consequent upon
the depression of the last year, leaving
their workshops unless there was in
justice somewhere. Three lessons, how
ever. had been learned by the strike:
First. that the railroad managers were
roads the moment strike was
precipitated; second, that mob vio-
lence and disorder would under no cir
cumStances be tolerated by the American
people; third, that the national govern
ment alone has the power tG break such
a strike and raise the railroad blockade,
from which follows the logical conclu-
sion that the national government
should own the railroads of the coun-
try. The railroads. he said, were built
strictly for the accommodation of pub
lie, and neither labor leader nor railroad
managers should bave the power nor be
permitted 10 interfere with the public
rights. If the national government
owned the railroads it would be high
treason for any one to dare to do such a
thing. The strike has made inevitable
the government ownership of the rail =
roads in the near future, had not their
mismanagement by the corporations
already brought the matter to the notice
of the country. Then the cost OF traffic
will be half what 1t is at present. and
the country will never again be para
lyzed by conflicts like that of the past
week
