M'KINLEY TO MINISTER'S
URGES THE NECESSITY OF CIVIC
 VIRTUES IN DAILY LIFE.

Hundreds of Telegrams Received Congrat-
 ulating Him on His Letter of Acceptance -Senders Include Many Converted Dem
 ocrats-In His Address Major Mckinley
 Pays the Need of Tribute to the Efforts
 of the Men Who Labor in the Pulpit to
 the End That the Citizenship of This
 Country Shall be Raised to the Highest
 Possible Standard.
 Canton, O., Aug. 2S.-A delegation or United Brethren clergymen, who are attending a conference here, called on Major Mckinley at o'clock this after noon. Bishop Mills of Oregon spoke in behalf of the ministers and Major Me- Kinley in response said:
 T am duly appreciative of the mes sage of good will which you so kindly bring from the great religious body which you represent It is good omen when religious teachers are alive to the questions affecting the public welfare Nothing is more worthy of your study and consideration than those questions which tend to make the country great, prosperous and righteous. Civic virtue is a good text for the preacher always. but better thing for every citizen to guard in his daily life. Good citizen- ship lies at the foundation of our true greatness as free government. Those who proclaim it are indeed Christian teachers and public berefactorT. The better the citizen the better a free gov- ernment.
 Tt is a gratifying fact, as you state, that in our form of government char acter counts for so much; the lack of 1t amounts to almost disqualification for public trust. Whatever mems individ- ual opinions cn moral questions are or may be, whether good or bad, whatever may be their rarty affiliations all pre- fer that public officials shall be of high character and vcrth. They may be needless of virtue and careless in their own lives, but they insist that those who are to execute the public will shall be men of unquestioned integrity Pub lie opinion demands this, and happily all political parties respect it.
 T wish for every religious body and every agency whose object is to elevate mankind the fullest measure of success. No nobler cause could engage your fac ulties. I trust that your annual con- ference will be productive of good, and that your stay will bring pleasure to you, as I am sure it has brought pleas ure to our people and to our city" (Great applause)
 Major Mckinley received several hundred more messages of congratula ton to-day on his letter of acceptance.
 From Joseph Spear, jr.. San Francis co--"Your letter has converted thou sands of democrats in California"
 From Mayor Henry F. Tiepke. Paw tucket-"Your remarkable and conyirc- ing exposition of republican principles is magnificent production-one wor- thy the admiration and support of every thoughtful American"

THE PEARY BxPEDITION.
Professor Tarr Writes of the Progress of
 Trip North.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. 2S.--The first news from the Peary expedition received in this city came tonight in a long letter to Mrs. Tarr, wife of Prof Ralph s. Tarr of the Cornell scientific party, who is with Lieutenant Peary on the steamer Hope, which sailed July 15 from Sydney, c. B. While the letter was written on board the steamer at seat July IT, IS and 19, it bears the post mark of Northern Labador, August 15
 Prof. Tarr says July F they were west of Boone bay, 200 miles on their way, with fine weather and smooth sea. The 18th they were passing through Belle Island in the midst of wonderful scenery, where the rugged high hills were all covered with snow.
 July 19 they had reached Turnavik Island, which was about half way up the coast of Labrador, where the letter was given a fisherman to put on board the mail steamer for Newfoundland. Up to that date he says the passage was the finest yet made by Lieutenant Peary, for there had been hardly a movement on the water, with bright sun, clear, bracing air and no fog. but the captain said he would rather go to Greenland from there than pass through the Straits of Belle Isle.
 The morning Of the 18th found the ship in the midst of on ice covered sea, a most unusual thing so far south at this time of the year, which the cap- tain and Lieutenant Peary said prom ised an open season in the north For hours the ship went at reduced speed. At the dearest water it was most diff ficult task, as she was twisted and turned after crushing the smaller ice cakes to keep clear of the bergs. | When the letter was finished they had gone so far that there was twilight at Il o'clock and the sun did not set until S:30, and then in the northwest. Their course from there was into Hud- son straight, thence across to Green land, stopping first at Godhaven. If the ice was out and they had time in going north they would probably go into Cumberland; if not, they would on returning.
 All hands were well and much pleas ed with the ship and voyage, and ex- pected to accomplish satisfactorily all they had undertaken.

L0C1L POLITICAL ARENA. :
News of Interest From Republican and
 Democratic Camps.

Democratic Camps.
 The democratic congressional conven- tion for the Second district will be held in St. Aloysius hall, this city, on Sep tember 23. The call will be issued in few days by James c. Roach of Wa terbury, chairman of the congressional committee.
 William J. Mills, who stills lays claim to the chairmanship of the New Haven democratic town committee, called a meeting of democratic voters who were opposed to Bryan for yesterday after noon. Less than twenty responded to the call Among those who were at the meeting, which was held behind closed
 doors, were W. J. Mills, Henry c. White, Colonel N. G. Osborn, R. C..
 Bright, Thomas H. Sullivan, John R. Rembert, John K. Hut, James Mills,
 Phillip Wells, Patrick Maher and w.. B. Catlin It was learned after the ses- sion that there was a strong feeling against holding primary meetings as was at first intended by the gold men. The democratic voters in several of the wards held caucuses last evening to ! make arrangements for putting up can- didates to be voted for at the primaries next Tuesday.
 The meeting in the Fourth ward was attended by about 250 voters. It was held in the Sacred Heart T. A. B. hall on Cedar street, Thomas M. Fitzpatrick presiding. x-Senator T. J. Fox made an address, after which a committee of ten was appointed to name ticket and
 report at the polls Tuesday afternoon. The Third ward meeting was presided over by Councilman Faulhaber. It was
 attended by about fifteen voters, who
 formed themselves into nominating committee to make out a list of men to be voted for at the primary meeting. The Sixth ward caucus was held in the office of John J. Clerkin, Exchange building. The meeting was attended by Max Thalheimer, J. B. Doughan, Thom- as F. McGrail. The doings of the cau- | caucus were not given to the public last | evening.
 The Ninth ward club was presided | over by Chairman James Martin of the | town committee, who made a silver | speech. This is in direct violation of the bylaws of the club and there was considerable comment on the subject.
 Two other speakers-ex-Judge Blyden- i burgh and Jonathan W. Chapin-ad- dressed the meeting. They, too, violat- ed the rule of the club by advocating
 the free coinage of silver. The music 1 for the occasion was furnished by the | drum corps of the Ninth Ward Me | Kinley legion. The meeting was held | in Schadee & Pohlman's hall on Dix well avenue and was largely attended.
 More than 300 were present at the l Seventh ward meeting, which was pre- 1 sided over by ex-Judge David T. Cal ] lahan. Alderman Rourke acted as sec ] retary.
 A committee of seventeen, consisting i of the chairman and secretary of the | meeting and fifteen others was appoint
 ed to select the ticket. The committee will meet in Judge Callahan's office on ] Monday evening at 7:S0 o'clock.

IN 4 RECEIYER'S ILLINOIS.
Springfield Brewing Company in Financial
 Straits.


 Springfield, Aug. 28.-The Springfield Brewing company Is in the hands of a receiver. M T. Barrett of Newark, N. J., was appointed by Chancellor Me- Gill, the company being incorporated in that state. D. B. Anderson of Boston has been appointed the Massachusetts receiver.
 The failure is due to that of F. G. and I. N. Van Vleet, New York malt sters. The Van Vleets owned the ma jority of the stock and were heavy en- dorsers of the Springfield companys paper. The stringency of the money market prevented the company from meeting its obligations. It is thought that liabilities will be about $400,O0 and there is much more than that amount of assets The attorneys of the com pany say that all will be strengthened up early next week.

Another Destructive Blaze in Westville
 Last Evening.


 Last Evening.
 Westville was the scene of another incendiary blaze last night about S:S0 ocloc. This time 1t was the property of A. N. Farnham, owner of the Cres- cent gardens, the largest in the state. Some of the men employees were about to leave on their nightly rounds through the city, when the cry of fire was heard. They turned about and helped In the saving the buildings ad- joining a barn contining some forty horses, which was discovered to be on fire. It burned quickly communicating to the large barn adjoining, which was filled with some two hundred tons of hay. Their efforts were futile, for both barns were destroyed.
 The horses in the barns with the exception of about half dozen, were saved with nearly all the harnesses. No. 3's engine was called from this city and played two streams, pumping from a stream near by.
 The Westville department with their buckets kept the buildings used for storing the farming implements and the blacksmith shop well wet down, and this structure was only scorched. The heat was very intense, so much hay being in flames, making it hard to work near by. Timber which was te lei, nf O ,,a barn was all destroyed.
 The loss will undoubtedly reach $10,- 900, with some insurance There have been four fires on the same premises in the last two years.
