STATE TICKET NAMED
BY UNITED CHRISTIANS
National Party Born in Omaha Last
Fall Will Enter Field Of
Iowa Politics.
MOTTO, .WHAT WOULD JESUS Do?'
Organization Would Unite All
Christians at Ballot Box--De.
mands Laws by Initiative
and Referendum.

Dies Moines, Ia, July G.--The state
mass convention of the United Chris
tan party, called for the purpose of
discussing issues and to place in the
field a complete state ticket, assembled
yesterday morning in II large tent at
the corner of East Sixth and Walnut
streets. The convention was called 10
order by Rev. w. c. Pidgeon, of Rich
land, la, chairman of the state central
committee.
The delegates. made up largely of
ministers and women, with lust few
veterans of the civil war and a fair rep
resentation of laymen from a half
score of the Protestant religious de-
nominations, We're not formidable in
numbers nor conspicuous in political
emincnce viewed from u party stand
point, but the enthusiasm. buoyant
optimism and faith of the cheerful lit
tie coteric who had gotten together to
enter protest against existing social,
economic and industrial conditions,
was marvellous.
The convention is made up OF men
and women who broadly hold to fixed
belief in the fatherlood of God and
the brotherhood of man. They seemed
to know just what they desired and
were not in he least ditlident in maxi
ing it known. They hold, in the first
place. that it is not mere political lib,
crtv the Industrial masses of America
desire, but unfettercd economic oppor.
tuni,y, unhindcrcd by trusts and great
combinations of capital. To achieve
the end sought they demand the enact
mcnt of laws giving to the masses the
right to pass directly upon all laws by
the application of the initiative and
referendum.
The motto of the party is: What
would Jesus Do?" Having restored the
right to rule to the people, the party
would measure each contemplated act
by its motto. The purpose of the party
is purely political. 1t is desired to
unite all Christians at the bnilot box.
The party was organized last year at
Omaha, the state convention for Iowa
was held here yesterday. and ma
tional party organization will be eff
fccted at today's sessions.

lowing nominations for state officers,

PENNSYLVANIA LABOR TROUBLES
The Homestead Strike Seems to Be
Failure.

iPttsburg, Pa, July 6.--The open
strike campaign at Homestead has been
abandoned and emissaries of the ANAL
gamated association have adopted the
plan of making house to house cam
vass of all men employed in the plant.
1t is claimed that secret effort is be-
ing made to keep the men at home to-
morrow morning and cripple the mills
to such an extent as to bring about q
complete shutdown. if there is good
showing the fight will be pushed. If
not. there will be throwing up of
hands. Among the citizens and bust
ness men of Homestead there is feel
ing that the movement is failure, but
the leaders maintain mysterious air
and say it will be well to watch for de-
velopments within the next forty-eight
hours.
Sharon, Pa, July 4.-The strike Of
blast furnace workers at Sharpsville
still continues. Operators have men
securing the country for men to take
the places of the strikers. One official
stated today he expected that 500 men
would be sent to Sharpsville before
the latter part of the week, and they
would be put to work upon their ar.
rival. The strikers are orderly and
say they will make no trouble unless
foreign labor is imported.

LOSS HALF A MILLION.
Disastrous Fourth of July Fire in
Memphis,

Memphis, Tenn, July GA fire
broke out in the establishment of the
Memphis Paper company at the cor
ner of Gayoso and Front streets late
fore It was subdued caused
til e death of an unknown
negro, the fatal injury of eNFire Chief
Cleary, who had his spine dislocated,
and the serious injury of Assistant
Fire Chief James Ryan, all being
caught under falling walls, besides Il
property loss of about $l50,000. The
Gayoso hotel, one of the Oldest land
marks in Memphis, was one of the
buildings totally destroyed, and while
the guests We're rescued in safety
some of them lost valuable effects in
the fire, which ragged tierely for over
Six hours.
The blaze originated in the Memphis
Paper company about 4 o'clock and
bad obtained good Roadway before
discovered From the lack of rain the
buildings We're all dry and in
fiammable, and in a short time after
the fire alarm the paper company's
store had been Quilted, and then the
adjoining stores began to ignite.
In quick succession he plants of the
Blumenthal & llilbronner Liquor com
pany, the American Biscuit company
and the office of the Standard Oil COM
pany We're destroyed.
All efforts of the fire department to
prevent the flames from communicate
ing with the Gayoso hotel. situated di-
rectly across the street, east, proved
futile, and the old structure was to-
tally destroyed. Owing to the fact that
it was a holiday and because of the
absence of the insurance men and
managers of the burned property, it
was difficult to get an accurate list of
the losses. 1t is said, however, that
they are pretty we'll covered by insur-
ance. The Gayoso hotel building
could not be duplicated for 100000.
The known insurance is $165,OO0.
The Gayoso hotel was established in
1912, and has been the scene of many
historic events. 1t was the headqnar-
tiers of General Grant during his brief
stay in Memphis before the fight at
Nicksburg. General Sherman also es-
tablished his headquarters there for a
time and General IIurlburt narrowly
escaped capture by Forest in the same
building. During Forests siege of
I1urlburt in the hotel one of the con-
fedcratc cavalry leaders rode into the
rotnnda of the hotel and shot q fed

OUT With HIS FATHER.
Young Edison's Marriage Opposed
by the Wizard

jr., and his pretty young Wife, who
was Miss Tuohy an actress before the
son of the Wizard" married her.are in
Chicago at the home of the mother of
the wife. No 300 North Clark street
Young Edison and his father have
parted. for Edison. 81. never forgavc.
his son for marrying AN actress, and
Edison. IT.. will set himself up i'm bust
ness here.
Young Edison and his wife have
been here two or three weeks Con-
trary to general report. Mrs Edison is
not ill., has not left her husband. and
never was in better health or more de-
voted to her husband than now. 1t
has been known that the elder Edison
did not like his sons marriage. not
that he had anything against the
young woman, but he did not like the
idea OF an actress in the family, and
father and son have not been as cor
dial to each other as father and son
should be.
Outside of a very few of the Inti-
mate friends of the Edisons, no one
knew of the extreme tension that pre-
vailed in their relations, and probably
not half a dozen We're aware that the
younger Edison had determined TO
make his future home in Chicago
where he proposes To set up his labor
atory and devote himself 10 both the
practical and experimental phases of
electricity. He is of the opinion that
the west affords an opportunity for
him. and that in consequence of the
unsatisfactory condition of affairs in
New York he would prefer to reside in
Chicago.
Edison. tr., is not SAYING anything
for publication now. and is aversc to
having his domestic affairs made a
matter of public gossip. but he is Se-
termined TO stand by his wife, w.:o IS
a charming little woman. She will not
consent to be interviewed, either. and
thus the case stands.

FOR A CUBAN MONARCHY.
Alleged noyalist Movement in chs
Island.

Havana, July 6.-La Lucia publishea
4 statement regarding matters which
Its conductors say they have been in-
Hestigating for several weeks. The
papers will say:
Cuba, during the last few months,
has been land of many surprises.
The latest is the establishment of q
royalist party. The new organization
is unimportant at present, probably
Numbering fewer than fifty members,
but we'll known Cuban general, who
claims to be descendant of Charle-
magne, is reported to be the head of
the party, and the meeting place is
usually the Inglaterra cafe. The Gu
ban general in question is said to he
dissatisfied with American rule. He
thinks that what Cuba needs is not a
republic, but a strong hand at the
helm like his own. He is of the opin-
ion that the people of the Latin race
prefer royalty and the possible hon
ors accruing under the monarchial re-
gime.
"The Cuban general referred to is
understood to deny that he is the head
of party with such objects, but there
is considerable evidence that such q
movement is on foot. He is the Of
iicer who was recently reported to
Governor General Brooke for collect
ing 80 Confines from Spanish mer-
chant on the ground that it was an as
'sessment for fund devoted to driv-
Ing out the intervenors.
General Ludlow has been made
aware of his successful attempts to col
lect money from gambling houses un-
them closed if the proprietors refused
his demands. For political reasons it
has not been considered advisable thus
far to proceed against him, but he has
been warned to discontinue these
practices, and it is believed now that
he is more interested in making money
than i'm starting new party"

New York, July GA dispatch to
the New York Herald from Washing
ton says: If Minister Buchanan re-
quests permission of the state depart
ment to accept the 100000 offered
him by Argentina and Chilli in pay
ment of his services in arbitrating the
boundary dispute between them, it
will probably be refused.
In the first place the acceptance of
the money is forbidden by law, with
out specific legislation by congress,
and in the second the department is
of the opinion that the usefulness of
Mr.. Buchanan as minister at Buenos
Aires might be impaired in conse-
quence of it's receipt.
1t is said that Mr.. Buchanan may
be able to have the presentation @
the money deferred until his retire
ment, when he can accept it without
violation Of law and without action
of congress-.

Double Edged.

Washington Times: When Kaiser Will
helm delivered himself of his latest
smile: 1.-THE German people are like
to bride him, but will maintain the fore
most place." his majesty probably meant
to hint that the German government was
not the kind OF equine to be bridled by
any compulsory arbitration device. that
rivals might manufacture at The Hague.
All the same the utterance was fine
double-edged one. II the German people
are horse which nobody can bride, how
does the kaisar expect to ride the animal
himself?

LEW WALLACE EXPLAINS.
Is Friend of Mckinley, but H
Should Get New Attorney General.


Charlottesville, Ind, July 6.-Gen-
,ral Lew Wallace is DESTROYS that no
one gather from his recent interview
on trusts that he is antagonistic to
President Mckinley. He made the fol-
lowing statement of his feeling to-
ward the president:
81 am President McKinley's friend.
AS such 1 helped give him the solid
vote of Indiana in the ST. Louis con-
vention; as such his electors had my
vote at the polls; as such have criti-
cised him in connection with the null
tiplication of trusts. That is ques-
ton which he cannot, as candidate
for reelection, afford to overlook. In
my judgment, the best thing he can
presently do is to find an attorney
general of capacity to help him in
that Investigation, and not to find him
in New jersey"
