~ buried there.

WATTERSON MAKES A STRONG SPEECH
And Stole a March on St. Paul—The Big
Meeting Getting Down to Work.
Many Depart.
j Pittsburg, Sept. 12.—The delegate.:
i to the national encampment of the G.
| A. R. got down to a solid busines basis
! during the morning, while 200,000 per
i sons have left the city since the last old
• soldier passed iu review. There are
I still 200,000 strangers in town, the ma
| jority of whom will stay until Saturday
apd Sunday, -raj will remain
even longer. The encanipmbnt
opened in the new Grand opera house.
The commander-in-chief and delegate.;
were welcomed on behalf of the citi
zens’ executive board by Cnairman Dau-
| iel C. Riply and also by W. C. Quincy,
■ chairman of the committee on iuvita
i tion and reception.
i Governor Pattison welcomed them on
behalf of the state of Pennsylvania,
while Mayor McKenna of Pittsburg and
Mayor Kennedy of Allegheny performed
, the same pleasant duty for their rospect
i ive cities.
The serious business of the encamp
j meat proper was then began.
Since the withdrawal of Judge C. D.
I Long of Michigan, opinion is rapidly
I growing that Colonel T N. Walker of
Indiana will secure the coveted honor of
I commander in chief,
i While thdß|Mface indications are that
Louisville wfirthave a walk over at the
next place or meeting, it is hinted that
St. Paul has been doing good work in a
■ quiet but very effective way, and may
come in for the prize.
; The claims of Louisville for the loca-.
tion of the G. A. R. encampment of
I 1895 were presented to the national con-
i vention by Henry Watterson.
j Just as soon as the welcoming address
■ were concluded the motion to suspend
the rules and give audience to the
Kentucky orator was adopted with en-
' thusiasm. He was accorded a cordial
■ reception.
| The speaker retired amid a storm of
i applause. Then the doors were closed
and the encampment went into direct
session to hear the address of Uomman
der-in-chief Adam* and associate na
tional officers. Iu the presentation of
Watterson at the opening session, the
supporters of Louisville stole a marc.i
' on St. Paul and advocates of the latter
are considerably disgruntled.
Heretofore it has been the invariable
practice to d -fer the iiominati< u of th*

closing day of the convention. Spec;;,
ers for St. Paul will be heard during the

That Committee to Investigate
Lynching In the South
IS ROASTED BY ALL THE GOVERNORS.
From North Dakota to Georgia, and Utah
to MiHeiKtrippi Comes Strong Con
demnation.
New York, Sept. 12.—From the re
plies which The World Las received to
requests for the opinions of governors
in various sections of the Union regard
ing the mission of those English moral
ists who have invaded our territory for j
the purpose of “investigating and de i
nouuciug” lynchings in the south, it is
quit" C'.’Ua’’’ they will met cold
fc&ptibuz E: u?Ey q*.;<fi. TZ
TKe ooue.-nsas of opinion seems to be,
that it is an nuwaiiautwwl interference,
on the pari of foreimi crank*, into the
affair? of the American people, the sub
ject under investigation having not the
slightest bearing upon matter.* of inter
ests in which foreigners are concerned.
The following letters, in ad iition to
those previously given have been re
ceived by The World:
Governor William Fishback, of Ar
kansas, says:
That cowardly assassins who seek the
protection of the n-.ob to commit murder
infest every country is to be deplored, but
as loi’x as human h itiive remains as it is
the efforts of the better class of people to
suppress-then. <at> only be embarrassed
by the oftici is intermeddling of out
siders. This true even when the inter
ference comes from our nearest neighbors,
to whom we are bound by ties of political
relationship; but that England, a foreign
country, and one which pay* less than
one-third as much money per capita for
the education of its people as the United
States pays, should assume the role of a
missionary to teach us our duty, can bat
excite ridicule as well as resentment. If
its committee is really sincere in its efforts
to suppress lynching, it must be sadly
wanting, in common sense not to have
learned this much of human nature. My
advice to the committee, if it is indeed iu
earnest and is honest, is to go home.
The reply from Governor Matthews,
of Indiana, is as follows:
The visit of the English committee to
investigate aud denounce southern lynch
ing is certainly a remarkable and singular
procedure. It should be regarded as a
tnecidlesome interference, wholly unwar
ranted. an<i not deserving of even •court.e
<OUs or tolerant, treatment, by out neonle.
It is a good opportuuity to' let England or
other countries understand that we cun
’and will manage our internal affairs with
out interference on their part.
The governor of South Dakota, Hon.
C. H. Sheldon, writes as follows:
We have no need for English commit
tees in this country when the purpose is
to give peculiar emphasis to the Euglisn
idea of English superiority. We depre
cate lynchings. Punishment for crime
does not require such means. We <->in,
however, take care of our own affair*
without the aid of English pbari*ee*. if
I were the governor of a slate which they
propose to investigate they would get
scant courtesy.
Governor Altgeld, of the state of Il
linois, says:
Answering your telegram. I will say
there are outrages committed in the south
in violation of law. and there are outrages
committed in Ireland in the name of the
law. Possibly the English committee can
do some good in the south. It it does,
then the southern people should return
the compliment and semi a committee to
Ireland to stop the outrages there.
Hon. W. A. McCorkle, governor of
West Virginia, sends the following:
I regard the sending of an English
committee as a piece of intermeddling
With our affairs not to hi- excused. The
south is always, in a proper case, ready
and willing to give full hearing of its af
fairs to a competent tribunal, but cer
tainly it doe* not require an English com
mittee in that light.
From away out in Utah, the follow
ing protest is entered by Governor Ca
leb W. West:
The coining of the English committee
for the purpose named is presumptuous
effrontery. We are fully capable <ff man
aging our own affairs without interfer
ence from any quarter, and are entirely
willing to permit full occupation to our
English cousins in attending to their own
business. I am firmly opposed to all
lynching, and willing to indorse all prop
er efforts to stop it. 1 heartily commen .
the energetic and vigorous action of the
Tennessee authorities t*> that end
Hon. Elias Carr, who governs the
Tarheel state, says:
North Carolinians are a law-abiding
people, and hence opposed to lynching.
We believe that the law is adequate if
promptly administered The sovereign
states are competent to cope with the
question without the officious intermed
dling of a foreign power.
This is the way Governor Reynolds,
of Delaware, puts it:
I have entire faith in the power of Amer
ican lawsand American courts to protect
the liberties of our citizens. We are am
ply able in this grand country to take
care of ourselves.
Governor Stone, of Mississippi, says:
The coming of the English committee,
of which you speak, to investigate lynch
ings in the United States is an exhibition
of superb cheek, but I am sure I do not
object if the committee shall fie guided by
a genuine desire to know and tell the
truth.
Governor Shortridge, of North Dako
ta, is short and pointed when he says:
Lynching is wrong under all circum
stances in any countrj—north or south.
The English hail better attend to I heir
own business. America will not tolerate
foreigners meddling with our home as
fairs.
Oregon’s governor, Sylvester Pennoy
er, says:
The English are running the present na
tional administration iu* to Ju
, uuu <uc vans eiiiDOKieiieti to rur
ther impudence. It is all wrong, but just
now the English appear to be running our
government.
MISSIONS IN TURKEY.
The State Department Called Upon to In*
terfere in ArreAtx Made.
Washington, Sept. J2.—Acting Sec
retary of State Uhl has received a cable
gram from United States Minister Ter
rell at Constantinople stating that sev
eral American teachers of missionary
schools at Marash and Aintab had been
arrested and thrown into prison by
Turkish officials, apparently by order
of the government, on charges of fo
menting sedition among the natives.
The action of the officials is said to
have been liighauded and entirely with
out warrant, and from Minister Ter
rell’s dispatch it appears that the ar
rests were made in violation of an agree
ment on the part of the Turkish author
ities not to proceed against any persons
attached to the missions in the absence
of the American consul.
Later Mr. Uhl received the following
telegram from N. G. Clark, of the
American board of missions in Boston:
Cablegram just received by the Ameri
can board announces grave interference
by Turkish officials with our educational
institutions at Marash and Aintab. Full
particulars by letter. We respectfully rc
qirist Inunedht? smtion.
On account or tne lateness of the hour
no reply was sent to Minister Terrell,
but he will be instructed to immedi
ately investigate the circumstances,
and, if he finds that the arrests were
not fully warrantedj to demand the in-1
slant release of tlie prlsqji&s.
The department is inclined to believe I
that the charge of fomenting sedition |
has been trumped up by the local Turk
ish authorities who are hostile to the
American missions in Armenia and oth-1
er parts of Turkep, and who have mani
fested the strongest antagonism to the
mission schools ever since they were es
tablished.
Minister Terrell will be instructed to
act with the utmost discretion, as the
department realizes that the missiona
ries have not uniformly respected the
authority of the local laws and customs
in Turkey.
The missionary question, especially in
Armenia, has proved decidedly embar
rassing to the state department, which
has frequently been called upon to in
terfere in feuds between petty local au
thorities and the managers of the mis
sion schools. On several occasions it
has been apparent that while the action
taken by the authorities Was seemingly
not instigated by the general govern
ment, it has really been part of a well
defined policy of hostility to the mission
schools.
