THE MURCHISON LETTER.
The famous Sackville West letter was
written during the Presidential campaign
of 1888 by the British Minister at Washing
ton to prominent citizen of Pomona, Cal,
who had asked his advise as TO the duties
of voters OF English birth, who still con-
sidered England as their mothcrland. The
letter ran as follows:
lPrivate)
Beverly, Mass, Sept. 13. 1888
Sir: am in receipt of your letter of the
4th instant, and beg to say that fully ap-
preciate the difficulty in which you find
yourself in casting a vote. You are prob
ably aware that any political party which
openly favored the mother country at the
present moment would lose popularity and
that the party in power is fully aware of
that fact. The party, however, is, / be-
lieve, Still desirous Of maintaining friendly
relations with Great Britain, and is still
desirous of settling all Ques tons with
Canada, which have been unfortunately re-
opened since the retraction OF the treaty by
the Republican majority in the Senate, and
by the Presidents message, to which you
allude.
All allowances must therefore be made
for the political situation as regards the
Presidential election thus created. 1t
is. however, impossible to predict the
course which President Cleveland may
pursue in the matter OF retaliation should
he be elected: but there is every reason to
believe that, while upholding the position
he has taken, he will manifest a spirit OF
in dealing with the question
involved in his message. I inciose an ar
ticle from the New York Times OF August
22, and remain. yours faithfully,

new ASSESSMENT OPPOSED
Golden Eagle Knights Have .
Warm Debate Upon It.
the Plans-Officers to BE Elected
at This Evenings Session.

The Supreme Castle OF the Knights Of
the Golden Eagle convened in the red
parlor of the Ebbitt House at 8 O'Clock this
morning.
The castle. which considers all the i'm
portant measures pertaining to the vel
fare OF the organization, is composed OF
one regularly authorized delegate from ev-
cry State in the Union, together with
the past grand chiefs of the order.
This mornings session was taken up
with the consideration of the resolution
to have a reassessinent of the order. 1t
is. perhaps. the most important business
that will come before the castle at this
convention.
AS the case now stands the States are
taxed on a basis of $500 for all having
n membership of 1000 or over.
The new plan of taxation, as proposed
makes a uniform rate of assessment OF
4 cents Tor each member per annum- This
proposition met with the most strenuous
opposition in the meeting to-day from the
State of Pennsylvania, which is one OF
the strongest States in point of numbers In
the order, and the new reassessment, an
proposed, would make her pay over 81 500
per annum as against $500 paid under
the rule now in vogue.
II is pretty generally conceded, how
sessment win be adopted by the castle.
Notwithstanding the claims OF the Key

CRCSH OUT CATHOLICISM.
Father Rubi6 Thinks That Is the
Policy OF Guatemala.

Tne
Policy of Guatemala.
Rev. Allessapdro Rubio. the ex-rector
OF the Diocesan Seminary. situated in the
city OF Guatemala. whose presence here was
announced i'll toGay's Morning Times left
early this morning for New York, and to-
morrow will sail for New Orleans
In speaking of the recent troubles be-
tween tile Guatemalan government and
the Catholic church, Father Rubio said
that they are a relic of the first Barrios
regime. The present president of Guate-
niala. Gen. Jose Marion Barrios, was
elected May 10, 1892, and belongs to the
same distinguished family which pro-
duced the great Central American warrior,
Gen. Justo Barrios, who obtained such
prominence in 'S5 during the wars with
San Salvador and Costa Rico.
The first Barrtos was one or the most pro-
gressive men Of the day. He built bridges.
sewers and aqueducts, established schools
and hospitals. and generally elevated the
condition OF his country. But he was, from
the first days or his administration. par
ticularly hostile to the Catholic church, and
several times accused its ministers OF in
terfering in governmental affairs.
In May, 1894, the Guatenalan admins
tration declared open war on the church
by abolishing all its theological semina-
ries and houses where women are ira ined
for teachers and for the religious orders
Under this act Father Rubio closed his
seminary, which is the only diocesan
institution in Central America Several
OF his students went to Spain some to
Mexico. and others have entered theoIogi-
cal schools in the southern part OF the
United States.
On his arrival in Guatemala FIR. Rubio
will reopen his school as q non-sectarian
college. He can remain president IL he
does not assume any priestly offices and
promises to employ no priests as teachers
This action on The part of th c Guaten,alan
government is considered the preliminary
step toward entirely suppressing Cath
oiic religion in the republic. The present
cabinet is violently anti Catholic. and
has several times threatened to confis-
cate all church property.
The evening times., 1895-10-09

The grand jury is this afternoon consid-
ering the case of NJ iss Elizabeth NJ Flagler.
the daughter of Gen. Fiagler, of the Army,
who shot and killed Ernest Green, q twelve
year-old colored boy, August 2 last.
About twenty witnesses were served with
notices yesterday to appear before the
grand jury this morning. These included
the half dozen boys who were with young
Green at the time OF the tragedy, Richard
Green and his wife, the boys parents,
Miss Martha Thomas, clerk in the Treas
ury Department, aud the policeman who ap-
peared at the house after the shooting.
INDICTMENT NOT EXPECTED.
Most of the witnesses arrived early this
morning, but the grand jurors did not begin
their examination until about noon. Tho
examination occupied the remainder of the
afternoon, and it is more than likely q
presentment, If one is returned at all, win
not be handed in to the prosecuting attorney
before Tomorrow.
Neither Miss Flagler nor her friends ap-
peared before the grand jury but it is un-
derstood that the statement made by her
before the coroner's jury was placed in the
hands OF the Investigating body.
The action the grand jury may take il
purely speculative, but there Is a strong
impression among those familiar with che
case tba, an indictment will not follow.
MR.. BIRNEY'S POSITION,
1t is, of course, the province of the grand
jurors to merely make a presentment to
the District attorney and he then prepares
an indictment The prosecution las the
entire term of the grand jury in which to
return an indictment, If he so desires.
In this case the time would be nearly
three months, the present grand jury hav-
ing been sworn for that period. On the
return of prescntment he may make out
an indictment at any time within that
period.
Three OF the little boys who were with
Green testified, and the father and mother
were examined to-day. but the remaining
witnesses VIII be called tomorrow

The follow ing resolutions of regret and
sympathy upon the death of Mr.. YeatEnan,

man, were adopted by the students OF the
Law Department of Georgetown Univer-
sity in joint meeting assembled:
Resolved, That the students of George

and regret of the untimcly death of Edw ard

This gentleman operates no less than
five stores-four in Washington and one
in Anacostia land the business of manag-
ing such an ,eXtended business is by no
means an easy one.
II may be said that the success of this
house has been made by low prices and
high-ciass goods.
or course, many other things have CON
tributed in marked degree. such as cour-
teous store service. quick delivery. etc.
1t has often been asked how 1T these
stores it is always possible To purchase
high-class groceries at very much lower
prices than elsewhcr,. The answer is
that. as Pyics purchases in enormous
quantities, lie is able TO sec.ire .o5l..rs'
prices. and divides the extra profit with
his customers. This is he secret alone.

CHICAGO GAS A FEATURE
Stock Exchange Opened Somewhat
Firmer Than Yesterday.
Upward Tendency and Anthracites
Show Up Very Strong.

New York, Oct. 9.-Chicago Gas was the
only feature Of the share speculation dur
Ing the first hour of business.
insiders gave the stock better support
and some of the sellers of yesterday were
disposed to take back their contracts. The
result was rally in the price OF
point, to 81 So. Sugar rose 7-s, to 100,
1-2, and Tobacco 7-S, to 81 3-S.
The general railway list was a shade
Hrmer but the trading was of a retail
character. The anthracite coalers were
higher for Reading and Lackawanna and
lower for Jesey Central.
A further advance OF 10 to 20 cents in
the price of coal at tidewater points has
been announced. London did little or
nothing in the local market during the
morning session.
Toward IL O'Clock the selling of Chi
caso Gas was Resumed and the stock fell
to Sc 4. Firms with Chica go connections
were the largest sellers. The reaction,
however, had little influence on the gen.
eral market. which was quiet and firm
at II O'Clock.
In the specialties Nashville Chattanooga
& st. Louis brought 81 g against 81

How the. Accounts Stand.

Mrs. Frank IL. Padgett, wife Of the sec-
retary OF Columbia Typographical Union,
NO. 1O1, this morning went to Baltimore,
where she will refqain for the present and
assist in nursing her husband. who has
been placed In sanitarium for treat
ment. "a q.
President Tracy and Acting Secretary
Toner are to-day busil Y engaged in nstraight-
ening out the accounts of Mr.. Padgett so
far as they are able without obtaining ac-
cess To the safe, where his books are kept.
1t has been determined after consider
alton not to blow open the safe, but wait
until the secretary shall have becomc suf-
ficienuy rational to make known the
combination. II he shall during the day
recover to such an extent as to be able to
converse tnteiligently, Mrs. Padgctt will
wire President Tracy, who will this aft
ernoon go to Baltimore and obtain the
combination. He will then return, accom-
panied by representative of the trust
company which liz security for the secre-
tary. and together they VIII to-pight
open the safe and examine its contents.
The desks in Secretary Padgett's office,
when forced open, were found to contain q
large quantity or stub books in q con-
dition OF such utter confusion as TO make
them useless to any one but Padgett
himself. Scattered about were a number
OF unopened letters, some addressed to
Padgett and others to various parties in
his care, many OF them contained money
Some OF these unopened letters are
pOstnarked as far back as July 13, almost
three months ago, which indicates that
his mental condition at that time was
such as 10 unfit him for the transaction Of
business.
From the fact that but 50 is found to
be on deposit and the indications that
no work has been done upon the books
for more than three months, the amount
OF Mr.. Padgett's shortage. il there is
one, is placed at from 81 900 to So, 1000,
the former figure being the average col
lection for one month. This estimate may
be greatly changed, or the defaication
entirely dssipated by the discovery of
unknown deposits OF expenditures, when
the books have been examined.
Secretary Padgett was yesterday found
wandering about the streets OF Baltimore
in dazed and helpless condition, his
appearance being that of a tramp He
had but 81 80 in his possession.
He talked incoherently and no connected
story could be obtained from him He
was taken in charge by friends and SUBJ
sequcnuy placed in a sanitarium where
he is now receiving treatment.

Sunday reform which includes the
stopping OF everyth ing in the shape
OF work or amusement on Sunday.
A general committee is to be select
ed and from it are to be made up
committees to put an end to Sunday
games, theaters and excursions, aud
to close saloons and all other places
OF business that are open on Sunday.
The committee will also endeavor to

and then for the sole purpose of dis
pensing medicines.
