Senator Foraker.

Washington, May lS.-Senstor For
aker threw another bomb into the Ohio
political situation today by coming out
ia a strong statement de6anciatory of
Walter Brown, chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee, and infer
entially injecting himself again into the
contest for Ohio's endorsement for the
presidency. He says that he will abide
by the action of the next Ohio republi.
can convention as to whether he shall
be a candidate again for any Office, ''and
If 90 what that Office shall be-" The
statement was called forth by one issued
last night in Toledo by Brown. Mr..
ForakeTs statement, dictated read as
follows:
1.-THE State officers have a right TO their
preference. and to declare it wien they like,
but such declarations do not dispense with
the necessity TO- a convention. nor change
my opinion that the voters should be given q
chance to ne heard before final action has
been taken.
"If the republicans OF Ohio are all, or over.
wnelmingly, or even by a bare manority, in
favor Of Secretary Taft, his friends need not
either fear the primaries or be in hurry
about holding them.
mo one need suffer, certainly. not wrong
fully if we proceed in order instead OF trying
to rush conclusions by unofficial announce
ments and declarations.
$50 far ss the control of the State orgauiZa-
ton is concerned l have never made any
claim to that. / have always supposed that
organizations were mere party machinery,
and not the personal property Of sny one, not
even the chairman OF the State central COM
mittee.
las tn the rest of Mr.. Browns statement,
il is difficult TO make a polite answer. For
rank, dictatoria aud offensive bOssism, il far
exceeds anything | can recall. il amoun's TO
q threat that unless | straightway declare for
Mr. Taft, shall lose the Senatorship. That
may be, but if so, the fact has no terrors for
me.
81 said at Canton that ] would rot be
dictated to by any kind of a boss, big or
| little, inside or outside the State. | meant
that announcement for just such bosses as Mr..
Brown. and for just su h performances as he
is now giving US.
ITO be spec flc, | emphatical'y resent his
dictat'On, and give his notice that my
choice for the Presidency will be named by
the next Ohio republican convention that is
| lawfully held to nominate state officers and
| that. so far as | AN personally concerned, l
shall abide the action Of that convention as
! whether shall he candidate again for any
office. and if so what that office shall be-"

The Presbyterians

The Presbyterian General Assembly
was opsned st Columbus, O., yesterday
by the new moderator, Rev. DR.. William
Henry Roberts, of Philsdelphis. The re-
port of the special committee on church
union and cooperation was then sub
mitted. The committee reported that
plans to unite with Reformed Presby-
terisns be set aside "until God in his
Providence shall open way for their
resumption" The report states that
representative Presbyterisns should have
say in the proposed federation Of
christian churches. The Southern Pres.
byterian Church will enter upon the
coming year with an ideal of 81, 600, 900
in collections aud subscriptions to be
raised for various church causes. The
reports of the various committees which
have been read at the convention In
session at Birmingham, Ala, ask for
additional funds to carry out the church
work during the coming year. The
East Hanover Presbytery asked that's
committee be named to consider the
sdvissbility of establishing the order Of
deac0ness.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY IS. 1877.

RUFF, few months ago dictator,
but now shorn of his power, exposed, GER
tain of the peDitentiary, pale, trembling
and in tears over his collapse, is pitt
ful figure, and it might be possible to feel
some sympathy for the man who pleads
guilty, throws himself upon the mercy OF
the court and says he has determined 20
make some effort to restore himself IN
the public favor and be a power Tor gcod'
and promises 10 DO all in bis power ITO
help overthrow the system which has
made possible The terrible corruption OF
nnblic officials" But he is not candid,
and his attitude has in it much more OF
the coward then ofthe convert. He pleads
puilty in the court, and in an interview
out of court says he is innocent and
could not have been convicted. He pleads
guilty and will take felon's punish
mept to save his family the anxiety oil
his trial. 1t is hard 10 accept this at lis
face value. "Owing 10 the assaults OF
the press" he told the court, 81 have
been placed in wrong light and have
been burdened with bad name" But,
saws the Philadelphia Record, if he did
the things charged, the newspaper we're
not assaultiug him: they were merely
defending the public against the rapac-
ity of him and his gang, and if he did
none of those things he had better make
his fight for an acquittal. 81. is true, "
he confesses to the Court, "ihat in OF
der to hold together the political ma
chine which had built up with great
difficulty did lower the high political
ideal that had hitherto uphel1." That
aod his promise to help "to overthrow
the system which has made possible the
terrible corruption Of public Officials"
are sufficient admissions OF the charges.
Ruef may have built up his machine tor
the sake Of power and not plumber But
the possession of power is pretty apt to
tempt a boss to plumber, and at any
rate "to hold together the political ma
chine which he had built up he had to
let bis henchmen plumber; he to help
the grafters to what they wanted
so that they would serve him. He
had to dover his ideals" 10 order TO
keep his ianizlries in his eervicp. Bosses
and political machines, adds the Record,
are very much the same thing in San
Francisco and in the East.

The Longshoremen,s Strike.

New York, May IS. So far today
has been one of waiting for both sides in
the strike of the longshoremen. While
the claim is made by agents Of the diff
erent companies that some of the old
men are returning to work, the leaders
of the union deny that there has been
any desertion from the ranks and state
that the strikers are standing firm and
are confident that before the end of next
week the companies will have granted
their demands. Ga the other hand the
steamship agents say they are suffering
no inconvenience at present. While the
freight situation is still one of confusion
and delay, daily improvement of con-
dtions is being made by most of the big
lines, especially these with pierb in Ho-
bokeu.

Wheat Prospects.

Winnipeg, Man, May lS.-Frc",
widely separated parts Of the Provinces,
reports from 800 newspapers correspon-
dents indicate that wheat seeding has
uuquestionaby been delayed, but this
does not mean that the acreage yield
will be materially decreased. The re-
ports came from Manitoba, Sasawtche-
wan and Alberta, where experienced
grain growers have heretofore complete
their seeding after May 20 with most
profitable results. In Manitoba alone
such good progress has been made that
the bulk of the wheat will be in the
ground by Monday if favorable weather

Washington, May Is.
Frank Mockabee, liveryman, was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded by
CASTOR 2. Phillip, a wealthy guest of
the Arlington hotel, early today after an
alteration in room 275 of the hosterlY.
The two men had been out all night in
Phillips automobile, and came back to
the hotel at six O'Clock. Phillip went
up to his room, was followed ten minutes
later by Mockabee, and soon afterwards
the guests on the sixth floor we're startled
by the report of pistol in the corridor.
When Manager Taylor and Clerk Best
arrived on the scene, three minutes later
they found Mocksbee lying on the floor
with Phillip bending over him. Mock
abee was taken to the Emergency
Hospital and Phillip was arrested.
Mockabee told the doctors that the
trouble had arisen over a bill of 500
which he claims Phillip owed him and
which he went to collect. According to
his story, Phillip handed him the money
and at the same time shot him, ex-
claiming: "lIere is your money, and
take this whit" Phillip is civil
engineer and contractor.

THAT THE new naturalization law can
be but unsatisfactory enforced is a dis
coyery that was made by Assistant At
torney General Cooley, who has return
ed from trip to several western cities,
where he held conferences with the
Judges of federal and State courts with a
view to perfec,iDg uniform system for
carving the law into effect. He found
that it would be impossible to administer
the law as intended by Congress except
through the employment of large force
of special agents, who would be charged
with the personal investigation OF each
case where there was reasonable doubt
that the applicant for naturalization
papers was not entitled to the same. AS
there is no appropriation from which
such force of special agents can be
paid, Congress, at its next session, will
be asked to supply the necessary funds.
