1t looks now as II, A. P. Aism and
Roman Catholicism was going to get
into the Presidential election. Appar-
entity the A. +. AS. are Pt SKIES and
seyens over what Mckinley told them or
what they say he told them, some of them
supporting him and others denounoing
him, while Cardinal Gibbons is out with
letter which, read between the
lines. is practically an instruction for
candidate who approves of the doctrines
of the A. p. A. people. A contest along
religious lines would be an exceedingly
bitter and lamentable affair and much to
be deprecated. If one comes the respon-
sibility for it will be about equally di-
vided between thS A. P. AS. and the
Roman Catholics. The former have
done many unwis&things and now the
latter in the person of Cardinal Gibbons
seems to be striving to rival them. Any
ligious demon ination in this country
whose teachings are not inimical to the
Republic can be sure of fair treatment
from the American people and it does
not need to mako threats or organize
itself into political party. Cardinal
| Gibbons would have done much better to
have kept still. His manifesto can
only serve to help slong the very thing
he deprscates, contest along religious
lines, and in such a contest the denomi-
nation which he represents would GER
tainly be worsted. But the vast majority
of the American people do not want such
q contest, and if ssioh an one comes it
will be because it is forced upon
the country by the indiscret utrerances of
religious extremists

MET IN MILWAUKEE.
National Convention of Republican
LeaDue Clubs,

National Convention of Republican
League Clubs,
The convention of the National League
of Republican Clubs met in Exposition
Hall, Milwaukee. The attendance of del
egates at the opening session was not So
large as expected, but more came in dur
ing the day and evening. There was also
a slight feeling of disappointment at the
absence of certain speakers of national
reputation, whom the National Committee
had declined to send, on the ground that
they were needed elsewhere. Ex-senator
Ingalls, of Kansas was asked to deliver
an address, but could not attend, nor was
Senator Allison able to be present. The
big hall in the Exposition Building was
handsomely decorated with the national
colors. The background was yellow,
while peering out from among the flags
were large designs of twenty-dolar gold
pieces. There were only 3 few spectators
in the galleries. The delegates were slow
in arriving, and it was an hour after the
appointed time when they began to take
their seats.
Gen. Z. A. McAlpin, president Of the
National League, called the convention
to order, and Rev. w. A. Huntsberger in
voked the divine blessing upon the as
semblage. President McAlpin presented
Mayor Ranscheuberger, who, in behalf
of the city, welcomed the visiting dele
gates. Mayor Ranscheuberger said it
was with pleasure that, as chief executive
of the city, he extended cordial welcome
to Milwaukee. He extended the freedom
of the city, and said that he had the latch
key with him. He paid high compliment
to the large delegations present, and said
that the organization showed that there
was great activity all along the line.
When he finished the delegates cheered
him and gave rousing cheer for the city
of Milwaukee. S. A. Harper, of Madison,
Wis, president of the Wisconsin State
League, welcomed the delegates on behalf
of the Wisconsin Republicans. Irving NJ.
Bean, chairman of the Milwaukee Recep-
ton Committee, responded OF behalf Of
the citizens committee.

mob which attacked the Offices of the
Ottoman Bank surrendered and will be
expelled from Turkey. The official ac-
count of the troubles attributes the riots
to an organized effort ON the part of the
Central Committee of the Armenian revo-
lutionists to stir up revolution. The in
vaders, as if by a preconcerted arrange
ment, suddenly entered the great hall of
the Ottoman Bank armed with revolvers,
daggers and dynamite bombs. Forming
in small groups, they were accosted by the
officer of the guard, who demanded from
them a statement of their business with
the bank. Without stopping to reply they
blew out his brains and then killed and be-
headed the gendarmes, throwing the heads
of the dead men out into the streets
During the resultant confusion they clos
ed the doors of the bank and hurled
number Of bombs into the street. The
rioters also captured hotel in the city of
Constantinople and bombs and shot and
missiles fairly rained upon the heads of
the passersby, wounding many persons.

rious portions of the city. The Armenian

mcnians concerned in this latest uprising.

the main a convention of old men. Pres
ident Cleveland's name was heartily
cheered every time it was mentioned, and
it was mentioned often. Nearly every
one of the many speakers had word of
commendation for the President. Nearly
every speaker, too, had q stone to hurl at
Gov. Altgeld. 1t was not a convention of
frills. There were no bands, and but few
banners. 1t was businesslike to the point
of convening exactly at the hour specified
in the call-high noon. The heroes of the
day were Senator Palmer, Comptroller
Eckels, W. s. Forman, President Cleve-
land and Gen. Black. The big hurrahs of
the day were for them.
Senator Palmer spoke twice. He spoke
early in the day, while the various COM
mittees were at work, and he delivered a
speech in nominating Gen. Black.
Black Nominated by AccIamation.
After Mr.. Palmer had finished Mr..
Eckels called for other nominations. A
delegate from Cook County moved that
the nomination be made by acclamation,
and Mr.. Black was nominated by viva
voce vote. There was the usual cheering.
The committee on resolutions was ready
to report. Chester A. Babcock, the chair
man of the committee, read the report.
Franz O'Neill, of Champaign County,
moved that the resolutions be adopted by
u rising vote. This was done, and then
the convention proceeded with the other
nominations, all of which were by accla-
nation.

The right of free speech has been Sc
cured to the people of the District of Co
lumbia, temporarily, at least, by a de-
cision of the District Attorney in favor of

public street meetings Sunday afternoon,

sioners for the purpose of propagating the
single-taX question or any other question.
so long as they do not abuse the right of
free speech. Mr.. Thomas says that the
advocates of the single-taX theory are free
to do as they please at such meetings, so
long as they do not advocate the COM
mission of unlawful acts, and provided
they do not obstruct the free use of the
street or unreasonably interfere with the
comfortable enjoyment of property.
Street-corner debating societies have been
very much in vogue in Washington during
the summer without waiting for the opin-
ion of the District Attorney. During the
hot evenings the curbstone dwellers in the
neighborhood of the various clubs, hotels,
drug stores, cigar shops, ard places of
that kind have maintained an animated
discussion on financial questions, which

for the Yankee yacht to lose, for she had
the race well won, but lo., in most un-
fortunate way. The course was five
miles straight away to leeward and re-
turn and repeat. On the second turn
Capt. Barber could not make out the
the stake boat. There were three boats in
line flying the American flag and there
was nothing to indicate which of these
was the real boat. The stake boat had two
masts. Anchored below her was another
small boat with two masts and an Ameri-
can flag flying from one of them. The
Nencedor was headed properly for the
right boat, but as she neared it her cap
tain seemed perplexed and undecided what
to do. Finally he pulled away for the
furthermost one and rounded them all.
His error cost his boat the race. for he lost
nearly three minutes hunting for the right
boat. Had he turned the boat properly

No Arrangements for Representation
at Paris Exposition.
The French Government is rapidly pelA
fecting the details for the international
exposition to be held in Paris in 1900,
commemorating the birth of the century
and in this connection has asked the
State Department for the name of tho
Commissioner General who will repre-
sent the United States, and for such other
information available as to the participa-
ton of this country. To this Acting Sec
retary Rockhill has replied that the Com
missioner General has not been named,
as the American Congress took no steps
at its recent session to provide for Ameri-
can representation at the exposition. He
expressed the belief, however, that the
approaching session of Congress will
bring about an acceptance OF the invita-
ton of the French republic. :.
President Cleveland called the attentioI
of CONGRESS to the invitation in his annual
message last December, and expressed the
most earnest hope that steps would be
taken for an adequate representation by
the United States. But Congress acts
slowly on these affairs, and no measure
was considered the idea being that there
was plenty Of time before 1900. 1t ap-
pears, however, that Great Britain, Ger
many and other leading powers have been
quick to accept. and the French Govern.
ment is allotting space to these countries.
American exhibitors are beginning to
make inquiry as to where their goods will
go, but no answer can be given to them
The prospect is that the best space will
be taken before the United States accepts
the invitation and makes application fol
space. This was the case at the last ex.
position, when American exhibitors were
at much disadvantage in point of location,
