A TEMPLE IN RUINS.
The Great Mosque of Damascus
Destroyed BY Fire.
MOslem Tradition that John the BAp-
lists Head Was Buried Be-
Meath 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Private let
tiers received here this week from
American travellers in Asia, whose
names formerly stood out prominently
in official and diplomatic circles in
Washington, make mention OF the Gu
rious fact that the Turkish authorities
seem to have suppressed all extended
mention of the destruction by fire Of
one OF the most noted edifices in Eu-
rope-the great Mosque of Damascus
though that event occurred many
weeks ago. No particulars have been
given, though the destruction of prop
erty in connection with the burning
of the Mosque must have been great.
The fire removed one OF the most not
ed buildings in the world one which
was q point of interest in city full of
historical attractions.
The great Mosque stood near the
Castle occupying a quadrangle 163
yards long by 1O0 wide. Along the
north side was an open court surround
ed by cloisters resting on pillars of
kt0ulIOI ulnIUi0 duO HLu0bIOuOs
The Mosque itself extended along
the whole southern side, and its int.
rior dimensions we're 431x125 feet. In
the center was dome resting on four
massive piers. Underneath was cave
in which the head of john the Baptist
is said to be preserved in golden cas-
ket. The Mosque had three minarets,
one OF which was 125 feet high, and
upon it, according to Moslem tradi-
tions, Jesus was to have descended on
the Day Of Judgment.
Around the Mosque were traces OF
court l 100 feet long by 500 feet wide,
encompsssed by colonnades similar to
those OF the temple of Herod, in Jeru-
salem, and the temple of Son, at
Palmyra. Authorities have thought
it highly probable that this was the
site OF the temple of Rimmon, men
toned in Second Kings, ", IS, and
that it became afterwsrd the seat of
worship of Jupiter, In the Fourth
century it was converted into church
and dedicated to John the Baptist,
and in the beginning of the Eighth
century it was seized by the followers
of Mahomet.

TRUE MEANING OF MARRIAGE.
A home governed by such gentle IT,.

governed by mans authority, as differ.
ent as person is to a machine-one

governed" wife may have bread just
as light and home just as tidy as one
guided, not governed. The wife guided
by respect and gentleness will fill the
house with brightness JOY and devo-
ton, such as the governed wife can not
even counterfeit, because her happi'
ness shines through every act genuine
and irrepressible that it can not be
initiated.
There is no exaggeration in this
statement. We have seen such homes
aud know them to be genuine. But
IN them no thought of supremacy or
governing can ever intrude, and we
verify believe that it depends upon the
husband more than on the wife to
build such homes, but there must be
no flaw in the foundations. The mar
riage must be q true union, each
mutually helping the other, and the
bond which holds them must be per-
feet confidence and unfaltering love-

Senator Gray Suggested for Associate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-There was
some talk about the senate and the
cspito today as to the probability Of
the President sending the name Of
Senator Gray, OF Delaware, to the SEN
ate for confirmation as supreme court
Judge. Delaware is not in the same
circuit which the late Justice Blach-
ford was appointed from. and that may
possibly prevent consideration OF the
Delaware senator's name.

WOODLAND, July 22.-The news that

several protracted consultations in con-
sequence between the men arrested for

Enthusiastic Meeting of Citizens /
Oakland.

Enthusiastic Meeting of Citizens at
Oakland.
OAKLAND, July Notwithstanding
the shortness of the call, there was an
immense throng at the Oakland Taber-
nacle last night. It was public meeting
called by Mayor Pardee to offset the one
held by the strikers and their sympa-
thizers on Thursday night. There were
many ladies in the audience.
Mayor Pardee made a brief address,
outlining why the meeting had been
called. He said: "One of the main rea-
sons for the calling OF this meeting was
to show that the Oakland people guaran-
teed to every man the right TO earn his
living, to support his wife and his chill
dren without being interfered with and
bulldozed. Every man should be able TO
work without threats OF violence, and
this meeting is called for the purpose OF
showing that Oakland is not in sy mpathy
with the lawless element
Rev. DIR. Chapman was introduced as
the first speaker. He said the only ques-
ton to be considered was the good order
of the city. There are two classes of peo-
pie in Oakland. "Why is it that the cars
have been stopped?" he asked. Because
there are people willing to gain their end
by violence. There is another class
which is in favor OF law and order. The
law-and-order people are in great ma
jority in this city. As an evidence is this
meeting tonight. l say that the Ameri-
can Railway Union must bear the stigma
of these recent outrage5, and that the
members must purge themselves of these
acts of violance.o

The Arbitration COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON, July CIT is stated on
what is considered reliable authority that
the President in addition to Carroll d.
Wright, has chosen Judge Lyman Trum-
bull and a prominent New Yorker, who
has always taken deep interest in the
cause of labor and whose judgment in
questions of this kind are regarded as
tair and impartial, to serve as members OF
the commission to investigate the Chicago
strike. The name of the New Yorker, it
is stated, has not been mentioned except
in confidence to one or two of the
Presidents advisers. 1t is asserted that
as soon as Judge Trumbull indicates his
acceptance the commission will be an
nounced.
Although it is reported the President
has chosen Lyman Trumbull of Chicago
as one of the two Commissioners who are
to aid Carroll d. Wright IN the investl-
CATION of the recent strike, it could not
be officially confirmed tonight, though
it is generally credited. It is known that
the President has under consideration
the namesiof Lyman j. Gage, the Chicago
banker, and Lyman Trumbull, and has
intimated his intention OF selecting tne
Illinois mem Der of the commission early
this week. 1t was reported to-nlgnt tnat

The introduction was followed by quite

There was terrific applause, and hall
the audience arose and gave three cheers.
Mr.. Meyers then reviewed the history
of the Locomotive Engineers and gave
succinct account of the attitude of his or
der during the present strike.
when Sam Clark was murdered,o said
the speaker, ''that made the Locomotive
Engineers only more determined that the
wheels should move. When we saw the
kind OF methods used against Sam Clark,
member of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, it made some of us feel
like making this fight between the
Locomotive Engineers and the American
Railway Union. Engineers were ap-
preached and told that if they went out
with an engine that they would not come
back alive. Can the American Railway
Union deny this charge?"
The following resolutions were adopted
by rising vote:
ResoLved, That it is the right of every
man to leave his work whenever he is of
the opinion that he can better his condi-
ton by so doing.
ResOlUed, That it is also the right of
every man, recognized by the civil and
moral law, to work whenever and where
ever he may see fit, and that the aDridge-
ment of this right by force and intimida-
tion is so great and threatening an in
fringement of the rights of American
citizens as to merit the earnest con-
demnation OF all thinking people-so
serious an Infringement of the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States and the State of California
as to require the putting forth of all
authority to stamp it out, to the end that
the rights OF the people be not further
abridged by unthinking and unreason-
ing men.
ReSot0ed. That the threatening of lives
and property of those who desire to
work, and the threatening of the lives of
their wives and families is an outrage not
to be tolerated in an American city such
as Oakland is, and that we hereby
. guarantee our protection to those who
desire to work but have been intimidated
by threats and violence from earning the
support they owe to their wives and
children

Spec1al TO the tSECORD-UNION.
KANSAS CITY, July GA secret meet
ing of the switchmen was held tonight,
at which local organization was formed
to take the place of the lodges OF the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association.
Four hundred members Of the old or
were passed declaring fone late strike
ordered by Debs failuis, and censuring
the latter for his unwise course for bring
ing about condition of affairs which has
wrecked the national organization of
switchmen and has left 70 per cent. of
their brothers in Chicago out of posi-
tions.
kilograms were read announcing that
similar action was being taken in Omaha,
ST. LOUIS and other cities.
A committee was appointed to draw up
a constitution and bylaws and to report
at meeting to be held next Wednesday.
Grand Master Workman Miles w.
Barrett, the national head of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid Association, has re-
turned from Chicago. He has been in
with other members of the order IN clear
ing up the business affairs of the assOcia-
ton. and has had a busy time of it.
On being asked as TO the present status
of the association, Mr.. Barrett said: "Ihe
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association is
dissolved. The dissolution was not
caused by the recent strike, though it has
been claimed that that was the cause OF
the collapse of the association
what caused the dissolution then ?'
"Nothing more or less than the defal-
cations of our Treasurer. Simrott. We
have been busy in Chicago seeing to the
books which Simrott kept, and finding
out our precise financial standing and
other matters. AS TO our financial stand
ing, may say that we have found Sim
rott's defalcations amounted to S32. 900.
This we have found out by careful GO
ing over the books recently. The officers
of the association are now engaged in
clearing up its business. Every thing
will be finished this month. The bone
ficiaries, ofwhom there are about seventy
five will be paid within short time.
Then we shall proceed to reorganize. A
meeting for the formation of the local
switchmen's union has already been set
on foot in Chicago. Similar meetings
will be held in Omaha, st. Louis, Kansas
City, Denver and other large cities. When
these have been organized. each will elect
a delegate to a national gathering, and
we shall then organize new union of
yard men. This will take place within q

1.-THE country has now had years ex-
perience under the gold standard policy
since the Acts of 1898, closing the mints
Of India and the stoppageiof silver in the
United States. The results of this ex-
perience are manifest on every side in
the business depression in the country,
on account of railroad strikes and general
discomfort that everywhere prevails.
Congress will soon complete its work,
and the general situation and the pros
pects before the country will be fully
disclosed. Some State elections involv-
ing the election of United States Senators
have already been entered upon, and the
campaign for the election of mem bers of
the House for the Fifty-fourth Congress
will soon begin.
"In view of these conditions, the Ex-
arutive Committee OF the American BIZ

Another Fire, Undoubtedly of Incen-
diary Origin.
VALLEJO, July 22.-This city was vis-
tied by another fire this evening, and it
was undoubtedly of incendiary origin.
To-night's fire destroyed the electric
light works on Virginia street. The
building was soaked with oil used on the
machinery and burned with great rapid
ity. The walls were fire-proof, and the
firemen succeeded in keeping the flames
confined within them. The plant cost
$40, 1000, but was recently sold to e. j.
Wilson for 1000 by the Sheriff.
1t has been proven beyond doubt that
the fire-bell rope was tampered with on
Friday night before the schoolhouse fire.
The people are thoroughly aroused by
these fiendish attempts to destroy the
town, and if the culprits are caught tele-
graph pole and rope will be brought
into requisition.

Proper Defense.
NEW YORK, July 22-Now that the
great railroad strike is over the leaders of
the matter of securing the proper defense
for Eugene V. Debs, President of the
American Railway Union. This activity
is in accordance with an appeal issued by
President Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, which will be published
in the August number of the Anaerfcan

Eugene Y. Debs stands as one of the
most conspicuous and interesting figures
before the country. More doubt his hon
esty and devotion to the cause of the
wronged against the wrong doers. \ Yes-
terday he was in Jail waiting the action of
the United States courts upon the charge
of contempt of its Injunction. He was
requested to appear before four different
courts, located hundreds of miles from
each other, each at the same time. He is
under indictment for conspiracy for
obeying the orders of his organization,
and requesting the railroad men to quit
work to aid their struggling fellow work.
men. The corporation have their claws
ready to fasten upon the body of Debs,
not simply to try and crush him. but
that they hope to force the men of labor
into silence and slavish submission.
That purpose cannot, dare not, land will
not succeed. Debs must be defended, and
ably defended. In his person at this
time he represents the rights of labor.
Eugene V. Debs is a poor man; he has no
money; his trial and preparation for it
will require considerable amount, and
we know that the workers of the country
have never yet been applied to in vain to
help the cause OF justice. humanity and
right. All unions should contribute.
We ask all laboring men to open sub
scrlptions for the Debs legal defense
fund.
