SCHEME OF fU5iONiSTS.
The PopUjfst Committee Sheds Light
on the False Charges Against
major Dick

COLUMBUS, OHIO Aug. 12.-The de-
veIopments brought out in the investiga-
ton of the charges made in the Populist
State Convention yesterday against Major
Charles Dick, secretary of the Nationa II
Republican Committee and the manager
of Hanna's cam paign, has created pro-
found sensation in political circles. The
Foraker-Kurtz element of the Republic an
party are chuckling over Dick misfor-
tune, as they call 1t, and say he was easily
caught in a trap set for him by the agents
of John r. Mclean, and while the Demo
Gratis are shedding tears in secret at their
inability to capture the convention, they
smile in public over the disclosure.
Lone thing which excites comment in
connection with this story OF alleged
bribery is that Major Dick, sbrewd
politician, could have been so easily be-
puiIed by minister of the Gospel in the
person of Rev. J. H. Taylor of Cleveland.
TavIor stated that ne got the money for
the very purpose of exposing the cam
paien methods OF the Hanna people.
Hugo Preyer, also of Cleveland, accep ted
a S25 check from Major Dick for the same
purpose and so stated. No evidence was
adduced at the investigation tending TO
implicate delegates OF the middle-of-the
road faction who had been charged in
general terms with having accepted brlhes
10 defeat fusion. Taylor and Preyer both
being fusionists, the investigation COM
mittee is com posed of three middle-of- the
roau members and two fusionists. The
report of the middle-road members hied
to-day with Chairman Creager OF the
Populist State Committee, after reviewing
the charges and evidence, concludes as
follows:
Your committee denounce the orazen
attempt of Hugo Preyer, Rev. J. IL. Tay-
lor. Peter Witt, David Rankin and George
a. Groot to besmirch the character and
integrity of the delegates of almost The
entire convention by repeated charges ana
lnnuendos when they know they had no
facts to substantiate their accusations.
The evidence proved beyond doubt that
the whole proceedings was but an attempt
on their part to bring dissensions into the

WANTS AN ABSOLUTE DIV2RcE.
Langtry viii Sue the Jersey Lily and
Many Prominent Men Will Figure
as Co-Respondents.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 1&-The
Journals London copyrighted special
says: 1t is positively announced tonight
by Edward Langtry. husband OF the .Jer-
sey Lily, that he will bring suit for abso-
Lutte divorce and the papers will be served
this week. Many persons of high social
life, even royalty itself, are to be named
as correspondents. Langtry is moved to
this course by the report in English news
papers of Mrs. Langtry prospective mar
riage to Prince Esterhazy de Galantha of
Austria.
Langtry told the Journal correspondent
that he absolutely ignored the California
divorce, and had instructed his solicitor
to bring suit without regard to the action
of the Amer lean courts. He said he would
name as correspondents what the English
call IAN exalted royal parsonage" and
several others, including two Lords, dis
tinguished sporting baronet. an officer OF
the Guards and an extravagant patron of
the turf who died in America two or three
years ago.
Langtry does not think the divorce will
be contested, as the name of Esterhazy
will figure extensively in the court pro-
ceedings. Prince EsterhaZy is one of the
foremost horsemen. His racing stock is
nent and his income is sufficiently large
TO make the best bloods Of Paris jealous.
Esterhazy is 54 years old. Mrs. Lang
try is at Savoy, where she dined with
Esterhazy this evening.

Judges issued temporary injunctons to-
day against the United Mine-workers, on

been gathering for more than two weeks.

duce the company's men to quit work.
The injunction was issued after petl-
tion was submitted showing intimidation
in the methods of the strikers to force De
Armitt's men out. 1t restraints President
Dolan and other strike leaders and those
associated with them from assem- bling,
marching or encamping in proximity to
the mines for the purpose, by intimida-
ton, threats, ETC., OF preventing miners
from working.
Before being served with the Injunction
Dolan said:
"As l understand it the miners are or
dered 10 leave the country and secure pro-
lection in foreign lands. Ii we refuse
they will put us in jail, and hope they
will. There will be so many men refuse
to obey this injunction that the Jail will
not hold them all; it will oe necessary to
build new Jail. The miners are willing
to 90 to jail, as they are certain then of
getting som mething TO eat"
Sheriff Lowry is at Turtle Creek. He
announced tonight that he would enforce
the injunction. The striking miners will
make their usual march to the mines, and
the Sheriff will serve the Injunction.
Chief Deputy James Richards says he
has 154 regularly appointed deputies, be-
sides the private watchmen employed by
the company. The strikers have ordered
1000 additional Ioaves of bread and their
ccmmissary is in good condition. Two
hundred and sixty miners are encam ped
to- night at Turtle Greek awaiting arrest
IN the morning. They declare the will
submit peaceably but expect their supe-
ror mum bers to prevent the deputies from

rocked, shifted a trihe and then lay still.
A scene of intense excitement followed
and preparations for getting away began.
Life preservers were fastened on and boats
lowered. Soundings showed the water to
be rushing into her hold, but an examina-
tion showed that she was resting easily,
and unless a storm came up she would
stay in the position in which she lay for
an indefinite length of time.
Thus reassured man was sent ashore
in boat TO secure assistance, and the dis
tingulshed party made ready to make the
best of an unpleasant situation. The
messenger made his way to Nipigon sta
tion, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
and from there sent dispatches to Port
Arthur calling for two tugs and a lighter.
These arrived promptly and the yacht
was lightered. An examination showed
that three plates were displaced and one
cracked. After three hours work the
yacht was sufficiently repaired to permit

perilous perch and continued on her way,
taking one of the tugs along for safety.

1osta Ready to Face Prince Henry In
Duel.
PARIS, FRANCE, Aug. 12.-Prince Henry
OF Orleans, replying to the Duke of Aosta,
eldest nephew of the King of Italy, who
was sent to France by his Majesty with
instructions to MAKE an attempt to pre-
vent the duel being fought between Prince
Henry and General Albertone, as a result
of the Princes reflections upon the con-
duct of the Italian soldiers in A by ssinia,
has informed the Duke that it is i'm pos
ible for him To retreat. 1t is now thought
others will intervene in the matter.
The following semi-official ommunica.
tion has been issued: ut is learned from a
trustworthy source that the unexpected
intervention OF very high Italian person
age, claiming for himself the honor of en-
countering Prince Henry Of Orleans, will
in all probability modify the situation.
Under these circumstances it is probable
that General Albertone will have to give
place to the exalted parsonage in ques-
tion."
A telegram which was received by Prince
Henry while travelling last night apprised
him Of the new Intervention.
