TARIFF TALK OUT WEST. Minnesota Now Claimed to Be a Doubtful Stat-Growing Demand for a Reduction in the Tariff. Naw YoRx, July 31.-Congressman W. L Scott had not recovered from his illness enough to be present at the first meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee after its organization at the headquarters on West Twenty-ninth street today. He sent a substitute. The meeting was, of course, secret. The session lasted several hours, which were spent in discussing the plans for the campaign. Chairman Brice presided. Speaker Carlisle and Senator Gorman were the two most prominent men present. Speaker Carlisle and Senator Kenna of West Virginia came on from Washington to repres- nt the Congressional Democratic Committee and to decide with the National Executive Committee on the campaien plans. Both of them were in terviewed. speaker Carlisle said that he was glad there were no personalities in this cam paign. "It's a- campaign of principles," he said. "The issue is clear and all we have to do to win is to present the issues to the people and have them understood. We have a great issue and a great leader. We are keeping apace with the times in states manship. while the Republicans have not advanced since 1861. 1 think the chances of Democratic success have not been better since the war." REPORTS FROM THE STATES. Senator Kenna said that West Virginia will give Cleveland twice the majority it gave him in 1884, and that the Republicans never have a possibility of carrying the State in aPresidential election, and Senator Gorman said that Maryland would go Dem ocratic, of course. The most interesting of the campaign reports made to the com mittee came from the committeemen from - the Northwest. Michael Doran, of Min nesota; O. M. Barnes, of Michigan; J. J. Richardson, of Iowa, and Erskine M. + Phelps,.of Illinois, made favorable reports of-the prospects in their States. Mr. Doran said that the passage of the Mills bill by the House of Representatives would gain of votes for the Democrats in n- ta if the Republican Senators pre vented its becoming a law. The feeling in Minnesota was strongly in favor of a re duction of the tariff: On this issue the Democrats had steadily been gaining until, from being one of the strongest Republi can States, Minnesota had become doubt ful, and the last Republican candidate for Governor barely pulled through, and at present three of the five Congressmen are Democrats, and Knute Nelson, one of the two lepublicans, voted for the Mills bill. Mr. Doran believes that Minnesota can be carried on the tariff reform issue. IT WILL HELP THE DEMOCRACY. Reports from Iowa, Wisconsin. Michi gan and Illinois say that the tariff reform issue will result in Democratic gains, espe cially in Iowa, where the making of Thur ston and Estee, both railroad lawyers, the temporary and permanent chairmen of the Republican Convention has alienated the granger vote. -John C. New returned from Indiana, where he has been making a survey of politics, and had a conference with several members of the Rpublican executive com mittee. Mr. New was harrassed in his $rip by frequent appeals for money. The com mittee is not distributing any money at present and it will be a waste of time for patriots to demand any money re-fal. Until then the committee will -be distributing campaign literature. The text book, which Edward R. Is preparing in Washington, wi be ready soon. The Purroy Demo cratic Asaoiation has made a contract for a 41,00 banner, which will be the finest in the State. It will have the pictures of Cleveland, Thurman and Hill. Hill, by the way, has not yet been renominated. THE JACKSON ELECTION. An Impaisra Statement of the Facts of the Case. WSuseGToN, August 3.-The minority reotof the Senate committee on the Jackson, Miss., election, where certain UAited titates onelcial were charged with -aiding in suppressing the coloreivote, was 'peetdtotheSenate today. It is signed 'baR the Democraticomembers of the com mteand makes nearly 200 pages of closely written manuscript. It disagrees *-wit0he rprt of the majority, and finds that the coored vote was not suppressed byay organized action of the citizens, and thtnone of the United States officials took partmi any movement looking to that end, oracted in any manner incompatible with their duty as officers or citizens having the good of the community at heart. The report reviews at great length the -troubles preceding the election. Thie kill ing of Gambrell in the Prohibition cam - pugand the mob which followed, and -t.kligof Mitchell by a colored man amed Whtsd.backed by others-these things and the failure of Mayor McGill to enforce the law through his colored police 4and aldermen, led to meetings of the whites, irrespective of party, to nominate a ticket exclusively of white men against McGill. Thie .latter, seeing the situation, proposed *by letter that an election by whites exclu - vely bebheld, but this was rejected by the sotter side, when they proposed a primary electionby the whites to select candidates. This proposition was rejected by McGill; but, owing to the general excitement, and, possibly, for the purpose of manufacturing "politicaloutrage" material, the negroes de termined not to vote, and did not appear at the polls on election day. The report insists that there was no movement, and with one exception no ,at the meeting held in favor of .supression of the colored vote, except the proposition of McGill, the candidate of the prywith which the negroes usually voe-Testories of the cannon nsed at the polls are denounced as untrue, and growing out of the presence of cannon used for powder firing atpolitical meetings. The report finds nothin to warrant the removal of the four ofcers, as recom mended by the majority of the committee, and says the Senators have exceeded their authority in recommending such action, as the power of Impeachment would be with the House, not with the Senate or the Pre Ssident. ATTACKED BY A SHARK. Captain Tappen Has a Battle withk a Man B aster in the Lower Bay. [ N. Y. star, Aug. 1.) -While Captain Fred. Tappen, of the ferry-boat South Brooklyn. and the Misses Walcott, of Stapleton, were out sailing in a enbhat yesterday afternoon in the lower bay, they were startled by a big shark ap pearing near the boat. The young ladies screamed, and Captain Tappen had all he .could do to kep the boat from being cap ized. The shark followed in the wake of the boat with its big jaws wide open, finally gtig so close to the boat that Captain Tapncould reach it with an oar. he Captain remained cool, although his companions continued screaming. With all of his strength he battered the shark over the head with the oar until the blood from the man-ester made the water crim son. The battle was very fierce. Finally the shark sank from sight. Captain Tap pen believes that he either killed the shark outright or mortally wounded it. He says that the man-eater looked to be about 12 feet In length. One of. the young ladies in the boat fainted wLile Captain 'Tappen was battling with the shark. After the latter disappeared, the Captain at once put into Stapleton, where the much-frightened Misses Walcott were landed. What Is the difference between a hotel a a taena Abu tree + dol.a rsT. a a. OUR "PROTECTED" WORKINCMEN. Castle Garden Immigration Nuts for Repub licans to Crack-A Cloud of Famished Po litical Locusts after Banker Morton's Sub stance-Bright Democratic Skies in the West. NEW IotK, July 30.-The Congres sional committee appointed to inquire into tne conditions of immigration to this coun try settle down to business here some days since. Already developments of an extra sensational character have come to light. Passing mention has been made in these letters of the demoralizing conditions which surround the importation of pauper labor. Witness after witness at this investigation has explained to the committee how the padrone agents throughout Italy inflame the working people with gilded accounts of prosperity over here, by these fairy tales allure them from their work and bring them here to teed upon the vitals of honest American labor. These blood spec ulators receive on an average $2.20 for each poor devil whom they succeed in landing at lae Garden. The tarill is paid by the tr portation companies in the shape of a 'commission." But this is not the worst of it. Reputa ble witnesses have testitied that it is a com mon practice on the other side to form so cieties for the express purpose of trans porting convicts to this country. No less a personage than the Regent of Bavaria is shown to have been actively connected in proceedings of this sort. The committee, which seems to be in dead earnest, will take testimony in this city probably throughout the month of Au gust, and then go to Boston. In the result of their inquiries the Democratic managers foresee a most powerful campaign docu ment. It is pioposed that every citizen workman in the close States shall have an opportunity of seeing the results of this system which cuts down his wages and re duces his chances of employment by bring ing into competition with him men who can live in clover on wages which to him mean starvation. Apart from this phase of the question, its social aspect-the Anarchistic, anti-soap end of it-will be made to appeal powerfully to the public conscience. PATRIOTS ON THE PILGRIMAGE. Now is the melancholly season of the year when the professional campaign shouter gets in'iis fine work. The big parades, jollitications and general blow outs are yet a little in front of us, but the shouter is expending his lungs in pleasura ble anticipation of what the next few weeks will bring forth. Since it has become gen erally known that Boss Platt headed off his National Committee by securing first pull at the Morton "bar'l," the "boys" have been looking as spruce and chipper as you can imagine. Rhinebeck, the splendid country seat of the banker candidate, is the especial Mecca to which those patriot pilgrims bend their footsteps. Like the locusts of Egypt, for two weeks past they have been pouring down upon the vine-clad preserves of the gentleman -who is understood to have un limited "boodle" to dispense for the glory of the party and the fatuous vanity of Levi. The particularly devout are also taking in Horkimer, the house of Warner Miller, on their route. The first requirement for your "practical politician" is the keen scent for the aroma of the flesh-pots, and where else on earth will you find so much "prac tical politics" as here? EEMBLE BOBS UP AGAIN. One of the most singular and not the least interesting evolution of this campaign on the Republican side is the reappearance of a gentleman who was a conspicuous character in politics ten years ago, but sud denly went into retirement from no fault of his own. He is none other than the celebrated apostle of "addition, division and silence." William H. Kemble, whose bosship of the Republican party in Penn sylvania wound up with a sharp turn eight years ago. Newspaper readers will have little difficulty in recalling this interesting bit of history-how Kemble and others were convicted of bribing legislators in connection with the bills reimbursing rail road companies whose property was de stroyed in the Pittsburg riots of '77. It was Kemble who discovered Quay and caused him to be appointed-Collector of State when this misfortune befell him. It was Quay, true to his instinctss, who, by virtue of his position in the Board of Par dons, stood between Kemble and the peni tentiary when every other resource failed him. Kemble, though an enormously rich man and still president of one of the lead ing banks of Philadelphia, is to this day debarred by his conviction from exercising any of the functions of citizenship. It is doubtful if he will succeed in his ambition to have his disabilities removed in time to vote for Harrison and Morton, but word comes from the Quaker City that he is the power behind Quay's throne at Republican headquarters, and is easily the master spirit of the campaign. The amount of his per sonal contribution to the cause of 'pure politics" is said to be very large. G001D SEWS PROM THE GOLDEN~ STATE. Chairman Brice was looking as sleek and chipper as a bridegroom when your cor respondent dropped in to pick up any late crumbs about the progress of the cam paign. He is extremely hopeful of carry ing the State of California, and judging from the amount of mail matter which was pointed out as coming from that State with assurances of Democratic triumph, the chairman's enthusiasm s' -ns to be well founded. Mr. James MfTonahue, Vice President of the Democratic State Commit tee of California told your representative that not in years has the Golden State Democracy been in such excellent form. He insists that California is as certain to go Democratic as Virginia. Blaine's great popularity on account of his especial cham pionship of the California side of the Chi nest question, Mr. Donahue says, caused thousands of Democrats to swing into line for him four years ago. This element of' strength will not only be restored to the Democracy this year, but the same reasons which impelled Democrats to support the Republican ticket will under precisely re versed conditions transfer thousands of Re publican votes from Harrison to Cleveiand. ABOUT THE BOY PREAcHER. The Harrison about whom there is most talk here just now is not the gentleman whose name heads the Reoublican national ticket. Of an entirely different brood is he. Not in many years has any evangelist created such a stir in religious circles of wicked Gotbam. He is known as "Harri son, the boy preacher, and .he probably was a boy at some period of his career, contemporaneously, one would judge from his appearance, with men about launching into their fourth decade. He has done all but work niiracles here during the past three months as a revival ist. Taking up one Methodist church atter another (mostly in those parts of the city where the working people live), he has led the fight against his Satanic majesty with a fervor that has borne fruit in thousands of converts. Enormous .crowds have at tended his meetings and repentant sinners have almost fought their way to the anxious sea. "Three thousand" is the legend that greets those entering the John street church, which is at present the seat of war. The figures signify the number of converts, and *yet there is no visible ebbing of the tide. John street is very near Wall, and the "boy evangelist" took up his headquarters there in order to carry the war into the dominion of Mammon and figuratively overturn the tables of the money changers. These tough old sharks of the "Street"-man eaters, every one of them-proved them selves a trifle too wary and headed off the danger of being ensnared by declining to attend the revival meetings. Multitudes thronged them, though, with no more se >f the fight. It was from those chiefly hat the "boy preacher" got his recruits. Evangelist Harrison's methods and his >owers differ from those of all the great eaders of his guild. He lacks the per tuasive eloquence of Moody and his trength is not equal to the sledge-hammer Miows of Sam Jones. The secrets of his success are indomitable energy, wonderful physical endurance and intense enthusiasm. He will walk up and down the aisles of his chtrch, during the progress of a meet ing, working his arms like pump handles, talking to this person and that, and ex horting the congregation generally at a two hundred-and-tifty-words-a-minute gait. There is hardly the slightest pause between words-each seeming to lap over its suc cessor-and one has to listen intently in or der to keep apace with the frequently broken discourse. His voice is a rich bass, he is tall and rather spare, and you seldom see him without a short stubble of coarse beard on his otherwise boyish features. WHAT ARE THE SKELETONS? Bridgeton Excited Over the Stone Quarry Discoveries-Exhuming the Stone Bodies of a Man and a Great Animal Which No One Has Ever Read or Heard Of-The State Geologist Investigating. BRIDGETON, N. J., July 31.-The great stone skeletons which are being exhumed at the quarry near Ireland's mill are caus ing a sensation in this section which has not been equaled since the war. Each day Smetling new is brought out, and the town is in a lively state of commotion, awaiting the latest developments. There have been numerous body forms excavated from the marl beds, a belt of which crosses portions of this and Salem counties west of Ireland's mill and running from northeast to southwest, but this is the first time that a stone formation has been found, and this is at least eight miles from the marl vein, and the village wiseacres are unable to ex plain it. The skeletons are found imbedded in the sand or iron" stone common to the grav elly strata of South Jersey, which is used for building foundations, and, although it is partly formed of iron pyrites, it is com monly known here as building stone. When this stone is first dug out it is soft and crumbly, but on exposure to the air it soon hardens. MESUREMENTS OF THE SKELETONS. The skeletons found were discovered about ten feet beneath the surface of the ground, and the animal lies upon its side at an angle of several degrees, the back and head being nearer to the surface than the other parts of the body. The neck is in a bent position, the head being still nearer the top of the ground. The body of the man was first found, occupying a space of about six and. a half get, with its legs doubled under. The hind quarters of the animal, whatever it may be, were first dis covered, and this portion was quite imper fect. Careful excavation resulted in com pletely exposing the form, which is of a large size. The length of the body from the breast to the extremity of the hind quarters is 8 feet; from the breast to the top of the head is 4 feet; from the top of the head to the extremity of the hind quart ers is 12 feet; the height from the hind foot to the top of the back is 5 feet, while the height of the foreparts is 6+ feet. The fore foot, which has been excavated, is broken off at the knee-joint and doubled up. The hoofs are cloven. The head and nose are nearly perfect. There are protuberances where the eyes and ears were. PHYSICIANS MAKE EXAMINATIONS. The scene around the quarry today re sembled a camp meeting. Hundreds of people flocked there and the roads were lined with wagons and carriages. Promi nently interested in the skeletons are the physicians of this city, some of whom have left for Philadelphia to see some scientific savants and have them come down and in spect the "remains." The quarrymen guard them day and night, and, with na tive Jersey shrewdness, charge a nickel for a peep at the wonderful stone monsters. State Geologist George H. Cook sent his assistant, Frank L. Mason, of New Bruns wick, to examine it today. Professor Ma son took accurate measurements of the form, which looks like a huge beast carved in solid stone, its outline and symmetry be ing perfect. The head was further uncov ercd today, exposing an erect horn about thirteen inches in length, extending from the top. Three Men Try to Destroy New Jersey's Geological Wonder. (Philadelphia Times, August 2.) There was a sensational scene near Bridgeton before daybreak yesterday morn ing when three strange men tried to destroy the Jersey _geological wonder. The men were surprised by Amos Penn and Frank Lovell, the discoverers of the "What-Is-It," and after an exchange of shots, they were driven into the woods back of the Ireland's mill road. Ever since the two humble quarrymen struck the petrified man and the strange animal while-prospecting in the loam for stone, there has been the hottest kind of envy and the pit has to be guarded day and night. The body of the man was found first, and that night was left unguarded. At daybreak the next morning the human fossil was found broken into pieces. The vandals had completely destroyed its scien tific value. Late that day Penn and Lovell struck the hoof of the wonderful animal, which they soon revealed to the light. While one slept the other discoverer kept watch in the pit in which the animal lies. Just after 8 o'clock yesterday morning Lovell was taking a nap under a tree and Penn was at Arnold's pond near by getting a can of water when he saw three men pushing their way through the thickets in the woods. Penn dropped the can and slipped toward the pit just as the first man mounted the low fence that surrounds the excavation. A BATTLE WITH YANDALs. When Penn hailed him the man answered with the shot of a revolver, the ball whiz zing through the trees. Penn returned the fire and the three men dashed back to the woods. Lovell had heard the shots and he sprang from theground and ran after Penn as he rushed on the men. The strangers dashed into the black shadows of the pines, when one of them wheeled and again fired. The bullet whistled between Penn and Lovell, who rallied antd drove the murder ous vandals further into the woot.s, where they disappeared in the darkness. Daybreak soon followed, and before breakfast people -began to journey to Ire land's mill to see the marvelous relic of a prehistoric age. Some came on foot, but most of the pilgrims rode to the pit. Peo ple came from all parts of the suirounding country in all kinds of vehicles, from a sur rey to a country ice wagon, while a num ber of Philadelphians traveled down to Cumberland county to get a peep at the wonder, Penn and Lovell, both very poo:- men, were digging for stone, the result of their work to be snared between themselves and Lawyer Walton Baker, of Bridgeton, the 'wner of the land wh'-re they' made their nd. Now hundreds of people are paying Len cent-s apiece to see the " 'What-is-Ir," snd the quarrymen are piling up the she els. They charged but a nickel until As istant State Geologist Nason told them the price was too low. Yesterday they raised .he tariff. Some of the countrymen kicked ad produced newspapers to show that the rice of admission within the fence was a ickel, but they had to give up their dimes. cROWDs VIEW THE woNDER. A big portion of Bridgeton's bestso iety viewed the animal and all of Cumber and county's geologists seemed to be there. )ld men and young men stood under the oasting sun on the brink of the pit and srangled over their theories as to what Job Scull, of Monroeville. produced a book to prove that it had been there before the deluge and Oscar Gilkinson. a bald headed horse doctor, after viewing the animal front all points with old pair of fielid glasses, said it was "a d-d strainge crit ter." John Steelian, a lutt looking schooner captain. hai lively argiuaitit with( a lot 4f o ther old fellowa. 1i' said lie thought the animal :kilted the :ui whose body was found at its heels. Atother wiseuere argued that they killed each other, and still others believed that the animal wa-. controlled by the man and that. buthe wete buried together. Atos Penu, in a hickory shirt., butternut trousers, a straw hat ind a heavy coat of tan, delivered lectures every live minutes. "This 'ere animal," he sntid, "was built on the pl:n of yonder ice-slide-high on the front legs and low at, the end-and was a great feller to eat persimmons. Th. Lord only know, what the critter ever usel that horn on the tio, of his head for." INSUtrED BY SlIowM -N. While Quarryman Penn was delivering one of his lectures late in the afternoon to eight women, live men, four barefooted boys and a dog, two New Yorkers, wbo looked like barkers for a side-show, offered to buy the geological phenomena. When Lecturer Penn refused to sell, they de nounced it as a "fake." Wheu Penn found out what the word "fake" meant he was indignant and started after the men, but their carriage was well on the way to Bridgeton and he gave up the chase. The body of the animal is impregnated with iron and getting very hard. The wonder will be kept on exhibition until State Geol ogist Cook examines it and people stop traveling to Ireland's mill to see Cumber land county's "What-Is-It." THE OLDEST LIVINC DEMOCRAT. . Patrick Collins, Aged 106, Hopes to Vote for Cleveland and Thurman. (N. Y. Star, Aug. " ) The oldest ,Jeffersonian Democrat of the country has been discovered by a Star re porter. Patrick Collins, of Brooklyn, ac cording to his own statement, is now 106 years old, and, even at this advanced age, is intelligent and active. When Mr. Collins left his native county of Monaghan, Ireland, many years ago,-he came to this country as a railroad laborer. For seven or eight years he kept to this work, until for a- time his health gave way. Nevertheless he persevered and succeeded in keeping in comfortable circumstances a family of three daughters and two sons. - A short time ago Mr. Collins was knocked down and run over by an express wagon in Myrtle avenue. His youngest son, Patrick, and his wife cared for the old gentleman as best they could for a time, but finally decided that he would be much better off for a time with the Little Sisters of the Poor at D:Kalb and Bushwick avenue. TTirough the courtesy of the sister in charge the Star reporter was allowed an interview with Mr. Collins. No one would suspect, from his bearing, that the old man carries the weight of 106 years upon his shoulders. He is active in body, and his mind is very clear. He suffers from deaf ness, and that defect evidently annoys and confuses him at times. Notwithstanding this, however, Mr. Collins is always affa ble, and certainly displayed great interest in the affairs of the day. "Yes," he said, "I can very distinctly recall, old as I am, the times of Washing ton, though I was not an American then, snd I believe I revere and honor his mem ory, but during more recent times, when I was of an age to take a more active interest in the hopes and aspirations of the country, Jefferson was my favorite." Mr. Collins is quite a pedestrian, and even now takes a walk every few days. He says that he will walk up to the polls in November as briskly as any of them, and deposit a vote for Cleveland and Thur man. Sitting Bull in Camp. S-r. PAU, Minn.., July 31.- The Pioneer Press special from Standing Rock Agency, dated the 30th, says: Sitting Bull returned to the agency last night, and if his infin ence has been used it has been in the direc tion of some stronger opposition to the pro posed treaty. In the private council nearly all the Indians now at the agency participated. Speeches were made by John Grass, Long Dog, Mad Bear and others, all against the measure. Trhe feel ing was more intense than ever, and not only was taken which was unanimous against signing ei:her paper-the red or black-but the most solemn oath known to the Sioux was taken. .Each arose and swore by the Great Spirit that lhe would never sign the papers. Running Antelope, who has always been friendly to the whites, is outspokenly opposed to the measure Sitting Bull and Rain-in-the-Face would not even sit in the council. A council will be held tomorrow. The fast young man is usually slow with his creditors. PHILADELPHIA SINGER. High Low Arm, Arm $28. $20. -TH U-RUNN -- FIFEE' DAS'ORITE.
