She went ashore in a boat with First Oiflcei Hill and Sailor Rowe.

They took a carriage, came to this city, and drove to Pinkei ton's detective office. There; she asked for a detective to escort her to her home in Washington. No detective could be spared.

"WILL SURPRISE HLADiE. The Pennsylvania Republican's Presidential Boom for Senator Cameron. New York. December SO. A special to the Sun from Harrisburg, saysx The death of Gen.

Logan has considerably disarranged the plans of the Republicans of this State. There is a good deal of Blaine sentiment among the people of Pennsylvania, but the party leaders have always been against him and they are so yet. There was a quiet movement among them looking toward the support of Logan for the Presidential nomination of 1883. It is said that Senator Cameron was in it, and It is Known that a number or his closest friends were already at work on the scheme. The sudden death of the Illinois Senator, -of course, puts an end to it, but it is not likely that this fact will turn to Blaine's benelit.

For the past two days there have been a number of leading Republicans in this city. The purpose of their simultaneous visit has been a matter of conjecture from the moment of their arrival. Some of them visited Gen. Cameron Tuesday evening and later held a conference at the room of State Treasurer and prospective United States Senator Quay, that lasted until 3 o'clock yesterday. -elect Davis, was of the party and Gov.

-elect Beaver arrived yesterday afternoon. 4 'You can't understand what brings so many of Senator Cameron's political friends to the city?" said one of the gentlemen who was at the Cameron residence and the Quay conference to the Sun representative last evening. "It is to arrange to bring Senator Cameron's name forward for the Republican Presidential nomination. The party in this State (is not willing to put the chances of success in jeopardy again by nomination of Blaine. It was our Eurpose to support Logan, but his death as made that impossible.

We have now turned to Senator Don Cameron. We submitted the plan to his father, the ven-; erable but still sagacious politician, and while he did not encourage the movement, he said nothing to discourage, but seemed I pleased over it. You may say that Penn-i sylvania will have a candidate in the next National Republican Convention and that will be Senator J. Donald Cameron." A TIMELY WARNING.

McMasters was against Dr. McGlynn in very thing. He even made an issue in his severe criticisms of the musio of St. Stephen's Church. Several of the hisfiop? denounced Dr.

McGlynn in Rome for ms question, and it is no doubt; aneiKi i.n at- hia Viv SimfiOIll to Caral- DUUUU3DU 1 i isxAvrukr crrnncnim TIPWS Oil IUD juuv nal McCloskey, that allusion has been made by some of the ecclestiastics recently interviewed when they 8PeaK.f the disapproval of certain land theories by Rome. IT WAS AFTER DAVTTT'S VISIT that Dr first met Henry George. George was a newspaper correspondent Ireland at that time, and on his return he called on Dr. McGlynn and thanked him for the words in favor of George's land theories that Dr. McGlynn had spoken.

Ever since they have been in accord ana they have been, and are now, warm personal friends. Right here iwant tfjmake a correct explanation, that Dr. McGlynn has been on the point of making over his own signature. Dr. McGlynn has been represeuted as comparing George with the Nazarene.

He did not do so the sense that has been stated. Dr. McGlynn said George was. a man with a great intellect and with a Christ-like heart. He used Christ-like in the sense of God-like.

Surely that is proper. The Scriptures speak of good men as godly, and they exhort us to lead godly lives. George is a mac who leads a godly life, and he is a God-like man, an humble worshipper of the gospel. In that sense, and the only one in which it could be taken by a man who heard Dr. MeGlynn's Chiekering Ilall speech, Dr.

McGlynn was right. The Davitt meeting was the first publio expression made by Dr. McGlynn of his belief in George's land theories. He has not changed his beliefs since, and he is not changing them" now. He has not changed his views on any subject where he was right and convinced that he was right, and" he is not changing now.

Dr. MeGlynn's first expression of political opinion was in 1S84, before the Chicago convention assembled. It was seen that Cleveland was a prominent candidate; the cry was raised from different quarters and largely in New York that the Irish laboring men and the Catholics, especially, would not vote for him on account of alleged bigotry and unfairnessm the matter of the freedom of worship bill. The cry was largely made by Tammany Hall, of which Grady was the chief mouthpiece. The same cry was taken up by the Catholio University of Cleveland.

Dr. McGlynn deprecated this cry and he did what he could in publio interviews to counteract this impression. It was at the request of the editor of the World that Dr. McGlynn first spoke for Mr. Cleveland.

He was for Cleveland. He was afraid that the bottom of his campaign would be knocked out by the cry that the Catholics were against him. He sent to Dr. McGlynn repeatedly and Dr. McGlynn complie'd with his request.

All that he could do to prevent religious attacks on Cleveland he did, and after Cleveland was nominated Dr. McGlynn made a speech Cleveland at the reception to Daniel McSweeney. DR. M'GLYNN ADVOCATED CLEVELAND'S election, and he questioned the benefit to the Catholic Church and the country of Catholics acting as a class, and not as citizens. That brings it up to the present time and the George campaign.

Dr. McGlynn could not have done otherwise than he did. He had spoken for the Irish Land League. He was imbued with the doctrine that the natural law was the ownership of the land by the people and the confiscation of the rent to the people. The" time was ripe for the George campaign, and Dr.

McGlynn spoke and worked for his beliefs." The above iswhat was laid before Dr. McGlynn for his verification. It may be said that the accounts of his suspension by Archbishop Corrigan are- true. He is suspended, and he has been for some time. The Archbishop, in suspending Dr.

McGlynn from the pastorship of St. Stephen's, has for the present exhausted his power. He has preferred charges, and the Prefect of the College of the Propa- franda has summoned Dr. McGlynn to iome to answer them. It would be rash to say what Dr.

McGlynn may do. As he himself said, when asked: "That would be prophecy on your part." He has the alternative of. going to Rome or not. If he goes he will be heard. He may be sustained.

Such things have often happened. In that case it would be the prediction of a foolish man to say that Dr. McGlynn will recant any essential doctrine that he has expressed, and that he now believes. Dr. McGlynn could refuse to go to Rome.

He has not done that. So far he has acted in the bounds of the church procedure and discipline. A St. Louis Contribution to the Smithsonian Institute. It has remained for a prominent Olive street undertaker to furnish the only scientific rep resentative of which St.

By Telegraph to th Post-Dispatch. New York, December 30. The Rev. Dr. McGlynn and friends, up to yesterday, did not see fit to speak in his defense to tell the many things that could be said in his favor.

They thought it best to rest until the result of the differences between Father McGljnn and those who accuse him was given out at Rome. Father McGlynn was silent and by his wish his friends were silent too. Yesterday an authoritative statement of Father MeGlynn's life and the church history was given to the Post-Dispatch correspondent by a man than whom none knows Father McGlynn better. Its substance was submitted to Father McGlynn yesterday afternoon and he said: 'Itis substantially true and correct." "The public have been surprised at your remaining silent so long," said the reporter. 'I am trying to play a very simple and easy part," he said.

am playing the part of the corpse. I have nothing to do but to lie still. A proper and self-respecting corpse will not insist upon having too much to say about his own funeral. It is my conviction that one cannot, with anything like elegance, at one and the same time be corpse and undertaker." "Will you not say anything further? That sounds like a parable." "No, I do not wish to enter into any discussion." "This is not the first time that some priest of the diocese of NewYork found fault with Father McGlynn for doing what he considered to be the best for the church" said Father MeGlynn's friend. ''Allusion has been made to some difficulties that existed ten and more years ago, but the true story has not been given.

While the "Vatican Council was sitting at Rome from the fall of 1809 to the summer of 1870, a petition signed by fifty-four priests of the diocese of New York was sent ot Archbishop McCloskey who was then at the council, calling his attention to the attitude of Dr. McGlynn on the QUESTION OF PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS. From the beginning of his ministry Dr. McGlynn was impressed with the great need of more churches and more priests to supply the wants of the growing population of New York. He urged the necessity of this out of season with a good deal of earnestness.

His line of utterances in this sense gave offense to many clergymen, and on the holding of the Vatican Council they called a meeting and adopted a remonstrance to bo sent to Archbishop McCloskey. It was leveled at Dr. MeGlynn's views. and as stated in McMasters' Freeman's Journal, the remonstrance was adopted at a meeting in the House of St. Mary's, where the late Edward O'Reilly was pastor.

Dr. Preston, the present monsignor, presided. Most of the signers to the remonstrance are dead now. Nothing much ever came of it, as Archbishop McCloskey was very averse to a row. The Catholio school question at the time Dr.

McGlynn made his timely utterance was largely involved in the question of obtaining an appropriation from the State and city in aid of these schools. The Tweed ring, for the sake of securing votes, was supposed to be very favorable to the plan. The bitterness excited by that contest is still fresh in the minds of the people. It called forth the cleverest and bitterest of Nast's cartoons in Harper's Weekly. It was the knowledge of this state of things and the fear of the harm it might do to the church, that induced Dr.

McGlynn to overcome his reluctance and to express some mild dissent from the policy of those priests who he thought were doing what was injurious to the church. Allusion has been made recently to a private session of the semi-annual conference, years ago, in the old Cathedral school-house, presided over by Archbishop McCloskey. Dr. McGlynn was appointed to discuss the school question. He then delivered a very frank and earnest discourse, making no concealment of his views of the paramount importance of doing an apostollio rather than a pedegogio building churches, educating priests, administering the sacrament, caring for the poor, and making the best of the publio schools rather than to sacrifice these great things and to entail on the people the expense of parochial schools.

At the conference Dr. McGlynn made a speech in which he said that he had never yet been required by proper and competent ecclesiastical authority to build parochial schools, and that he hoped he would not be so commanded. But if the day should come when he should be commanded to do so, he hoped HE WOULD HAVE GRACE TO OBEY, although, then, he still might have the legitimate alternative of asking a still higher authority to send him to China or Japan, or any other place where he might still confine himself to preaching the gospel and to doing the work of the Church without becoming a pedagogue. It is this speech that has been distorted after these years ipto an assault or insult to Archbishop McCloskey. for whom no one had a more reverential respect than Dr.

McGlynn. Archbishop McCloskey received the remonstrances of Dr. Preston and those over whom he presided aud pacitied them. The trouble against Dr. McGlynn subsided, and he went quietly on his way fulfilling the duties of a priest.

He went on in his quiet wav until 1882, when Michael Daitt came to America. Dr. McGlynn had only a short time before read Henry George's 'Progress and Poverty, and he had become thoroughly imbued with the doctrine that the land belonged to the people. A reception was given to Davitt, at the Academy of Music, and Dr. McGlynn was invited to speak.

He hesitated a good deal before he spoke, but he thought it was an important part of religion to care for the oppressed and he said he would speak. Dr. McGlynn made a clear and forcible speech, strong as those that Davitt had made in Ireland. Dr. MeGlynn's speech caused a great deal of enthusiasm and comment.

He was invited to Jersey City and he went, repeating the speech. There was a picnio, near Cleveland, shortly after, at which Davitt spoke. Dr. McGlynn was invited to speak there, which he did. Hi3 speeches provoked no little comment and censure from some Catholics, and Bishops Gilmore of Cleveland and Chatard of Indianapolis wrote to Rome asking that Dr.

McGlynn be censured. The attack on Dr. McGlynn was carried on with special fierceness in McMasters' Freeman's Journal. There ia an American lady in Rome, Miss Eads, a convert ana niece oi tne Protestant Episcopal Bishop Wainwright of New York. She was McMasters' correspondent, and she was supposed to have special facilities of influence with the successive prefects i i 7.

and Mrs. Avellngr. New York, December 30. The Herald eays: The Socialists will nevermore im port a professional agitator from the effete monarchies of Europe. The recent experiment with Dr.

Edward Avel-ing and Mrs. Eleanor Marx Aveling has had a most disastrous effect upon the exchequer of the National Executive Board. Strenuous efforts are made among more prudent members of the tribe to avoid publicity of the scandal, as they claim it would hurt the "cause." "Unpaid labor is the greatest curse of modern civilization that's the whole problem in a nutshell," proclaimed Dr. Aveling, as the axiom of his system of political economy on all the platforms through his lecturing tour. As the result of this idea the Executive Committee were compelled to honor his drafts, amounting to $1,300 for thirteen weeks' work, without demurring, though the price was considered rather stiff for a Socialist who professed to have only the welfare of the poor and disinherited at heart.

But the patience of the board, with Herr Herman Walter as spokesman, broke down when the couple returned last week to the city from their Western tour and presented a supplementary bill of $600. "Do you consider these items legitimate expenses?" queried Herr Walter, in a rage, as he pointed at a charge of $25 for corsage bouquets, required to enhance the beauty of Mrs. Aveling. Other ob jectionable items were overhauled in the same fashion. The extraordinary bill had a round sum of $50 for cigars to the doctor and cigarettes to his emancipated lady.

The official correspondence dur ing a period of three months had involved an expense of $36 for postage stamps. Theater tickets were summar ized at $100. though it is a notorious fact that the great disciple of Karl Marx showed himself an expert at dead-heading at all theaters on the plea of being a dra-matio critic for the Saturday Review and otner jungusn nuouoations. a own- more his wine bill was $42 for two days Aveling finally compromised for $100.

Nothing at present exists in it that meets the case of a well-known business man of St. Louis who, in speaking to a reporter of the Post-Dispatch, said the other day: "I don't ride any nowadays. I used to, but I have come to weigh 200 pounds now. I have a family, and a fall to me would mean, without doubt, an accident which would deprive my family, for a longer or shorter time, of the means of support.

I can't afford to run the risk of riding, that's all." This man Is one of the best athletes in St, Louis, and unquestionably the only why he does not ride is the fear of reason why an accident. The question at once arises. why cannot the League, with its large membership, have a beneficiary clause in its constitution, providing eitner lor ao- cident on life insurance, or both? Such a practical benefit would be an inducement that could not fail to draw an immense support to the League. TREMONrS VALUE. Estimate of the Worth of His Perform ances for Next Season.

Phil Dwyer was recently Interviewed with reference to the value of Tremont. the celebrated colt that created a sensa tion last summer in the East. "What will you take for that colt?" he was asked. 'Oh, I don't know," he replied. "It is almost impossible to set a value on a racehorse." "Is he worth "I wouldn't take that for him." "Would you take "Jfo." 'Seventy thousand?" "No." "A hundred thousand?" 'No, not a hundred and He hesitated a moment and then con tinued: "I suppose it would be considered foolish to place so extravagant a value on any race-horse, but the fact is we would not sell Tremont at any price that any man could afford to give.

The value that others put on him is his value to us. If so-and-so offers $150,000 for him. we know at once that we can afford to keep him at that price as well as so-and-so can afford to give it."

Some Square Propositions Which May Re sult in sv To ornament. The agitation following the sweeping challenge recently issued by Jacob Schaefer, the billiard champion, may result in something tangible in the way of a big tournament between him and Slosson. Slosson says: I have not much monev. but tbat seems to be no object with Schaefer, and I jurtge from what he savs he will be willine to Diav for fun. lust to demonstrate his ability to beat me.

If he will play me for $100 a game, I will play him in private, eacn side to De allowed mty tickets each night, a series of five frames 2,000 points straight rail 800 points champion's game, 20 by 40-inch lines 800 points U- inch balk- line 400 points cushion carroms, and 75 points at three-cushions. He can come here any time and ret those games, to be played five successive nights. The amount of money that I offer to play for is not much, but it is as much as acnaeier wouia pus np ne were playing for his own money. Slosson's proposition ia not so bad. and some effort will be made to bring the two great players together again.

In a Chicago interview Mr. Moses Bensinger says. I have been thinkinsr of how these men could be brought together in a way that would settle this question of who is' really the best all- around player of the two, and Slosson's chal lenge seems to give me a chance. I haven't settled the matter in my own mind yet; but am seriously thinking of giving an emblem in the form of an elegant sold note appropriately engraved, to which I will add $1,000, making the same subject to challenge every tnree montns, tne stakes not to De more than $500 nor less than S250 for the five games. and the player who holds it for two years to hold it for ail time.

That would give them all a chance, and a meeting of the billiard-players would settle the rules. Schaefer himself stands ready to go into anything which will be to the interest of the same, and it now depends on the Chi cago people to come forward with some definite proposition.

In the first place no opportunity was given the party to pitch a ring and the mill had to be fought the back end of a saloon from which the stove had been moved.

His best blows were right-hand swings, but he isn't much of a tactics fighter. He gave himself dead away every time he was about to swing his right. Charley fought for the body altogether, but the few face blows he got in counted.

Mvers endeavored several times to get him around with his back to a window, intending to knock him into it. If Charley ever struck that window his back and face would have been cut to pieces by the glass, but he was lueky and escaped it. The Streator crowd kicked like steers against my coaching my brother, but I naa a wnoieiot oi signals down line which I arranged before hand with Charley and in that wajM gave him several pointers which helped him out. For instance, whenever there was a stomach opening I said "Dynamite" and then Charley let loose and gave it to him. Myers' stomach was badly battered up and after awhile he got to guarding it with both arms.

The fight was a purely scientiflo one but Charley was too weak to hold out. In the thirty-first round it was anybody's fight at all. I don't think the knock-out was effected by a blow as reported. Both men were so weak they could scarcely stand up in the thirty-second round. They were both sparring around blind when Myers suddenly made a high blow at Charley, and fell up against him and BOTH WENT DOW3T.

'Charley wasn't strong enough to get up, and after a second or so stretched out his arms and legs, quivered a little and then fainted dead. We did not bring him to for at least five minutes." According to Dan Daly's account of the fight there was not such a storm of betting on the result as reported. Cheney, Daly's backer, offered to bet in so lavish a manner as to scare off the Streator men. During the progress of the fight, however, when they saw that Daly was getting the worst of it, the Streator folks came to the front but were not met. Dan says he will never allow Charley to fight to another finish again as he does notoonsider him sufficiently strong in constitution to do so.

He will match him with anybody of his weight for six rounds but for no more, Meyers and Daly are both pretty badly beaten up. Daly's face is disfigured with a lump about the size of a hen's egg under his right eve. aud Myer's nose was broken. Charley kept ma uea yesteraay, Dut was out to-oay, and the swelling on his face was considerably reduced. He said that he made a good light until his left hand gave out.

That organ is swollen up considerably, but otherwise he was not so badly beaten up BICYCLE BUDGET. A New Field for the L. A. W. Accident and Life Insurance.

The wonderful growth of the League of American "Wheelmen during the past year, in which time its membership increased from 5,000 to over 10,000, has made it plain that with stronger inducements offered the League might include within its ranks three-fourths of the wheelmen of The advantages to be gained from League membership now are many, but they have to do almost entirely with the social side of wheeling.

Haggett was in tht office, and told ITOI. jtimmons mac nit wile had left the ship, and was then probably in Washington. "What right had you to allow her to leave the ship?" demanded Prof. Emmons of the Captain. "I am not your wife's keeper, said the Captain.

Prof. Emmons took the next train for Washington. He will apprehend his wife if possible and put her in custody. Capt. Haggett, aboard the steamer yesterday afternoon, said that he considered Mrs.

Emmons to be perfectly sane, and that she ought not to be locked up. She was eccentrio, but he had had plenty of women passengers a precious sight more insane. Capt. Haggett said that Mrs. Emmons insisted oh leaving the steamer on Tuesday night and he had no right to detain her.

"Twenty-four hours after we left London," said the Captain, "two stowaways were brought to me, and I gave them a severe scolding and then told the steward to feed them. Mrs. Emmons overheard me. 'That is very kind of you. she said; 'and could you let me examine these I consented, and she found that they had been singing before publio doors in London, and she had them sing her some songs.

She gave the urchins, who were very ragged, two of her cloth jackets. The jackets had enor mous buttons, and she made tbe boys promise that they would cut off the buttons and return them to her.
