behalf of revenue reform in thirteen States
and local organizations in many others.

Bowker hoped the conference would select
n man from each State who would become
a promoter of organizations throughout
his State, and its geueral representative in
relation to the free trade movement. He
urged upon free traders the necessity of
planning tor a great campaign, the first
step toward which is the raising of a fund
of $20,000, which will be needed this and
next year, in view of the Congressional elec
tions of 1880. A third of thnt sum is al
ready pledged, and, said Bowker, “We will
show before New Year's day, 1887,
such use of it that the country will
then coma to our support as
England came to support of the Cobden
anil Bright."

WASHINGTON NOTES.
be present
Ex-Governor Morton, in the course of a
short address, stated that Chicago, by spe -ini
act of Congress, after the great fire, was
exempted from duties on everything but
lumber. The people of the city only
wanted the right to buy where they could
buy cheapest. If this was allowed them for
Chicago, why not for Nebraska and the
whole Western country?
Continuing, he said tho negroes in the
South were once deprived of all their earn
ings. The farmer who is now compelled to
pay a tax of 25 per cent, only lacks 75 per
cent, of being a slave.
Mr. Dargan, of South Carolina, anil Gen
Win. Trumbull, of Chicago, followed. The
concluding speech of the evening wns
mode by Frank Hurd, of Toledo,
who declared: “Who over owns my labor
owns me; whoever controls the wages of
iny toil is my master. Every dollar of in
crease of price on account of miscalled pro
tection means a day of slavery for me."
Over 1,500,000 men, continued the sneak
er, are said hy Grand Mnster Fowdcrly,
of tho Knights of Labor, able to work ami
willing to work, are ont of employment
in the United States. Why? Because
onr mills are idle on account of no demand,
the result of so-called “over-production.”
That word is only another term for “no
market,” caused by tho absence of freedom
for trade and hy the ignorant selfishness of
protected manufacturers.
At this point. Anarchist Gorcb, of this
city, who hod token a seat among the dele
gates, arose, and declaring himself a free
trader, demanded permission to ask Mr.
Hnnl a question. 'Die audience, ignorant
of the interrogator’s identity, seconded him
in his efforts. “Why,” he shouted, "do
not these 1,500,000 of men organize an In
dustry for themselves against protected
manufacturers? This is the question of s
Socialist." The rest of hi*£remsrks were
drowned in hisses, and the audience quickly
left tho hall. ■

most powerful steamers afloat and well
able to cope with even a severe
S tic, Capt. Moore kept her on her conree;
ut as night approached the wind contin
ued to increase in violence, nnd by dark
had developed into ore of the fiercest nnd
most destructive gales ever experienced on
tho upper lakes. As the gale increased the
sea began to make, and before midnight
Lake Superior was lashed into a wilderness
cf seething foam while the tempest screech
ed and howled and the seas swept com-
ilv over the struggling stenmor. The
situation was made all the
ternblo by a blinding snow stonu
that set in before morning. It was
impossible to see the length of the steamer.-
The possenpers were terrified beyond meas
ure, momentarily expecting to see the
steamer plunge to the bottom. By instruc
tions of Captain Moore, the officers circu
lated among the passengers, trying to allay
their fears. They were panic-stricken, how
ever, and huddled together in the vabin,
where the screams and prayers of women
and children coaid be heard over the thun
der of the gale. Saturday morning Isle
Itoyal was sighted, and Captain Moore,
headed the steamer for Rock Harbor,
where he hoped to gain shelter.
The island forms a natural harbor of refuge,
but at the entrance there is a reef, and just
ns the steamer was nearing the entrance sho
struck the reef. There was a terrific shock,
and then the steamer come to a full stop.
The passengers rushed out of the cabin and
beseeched the officers to tell them what bod
happened. “We are on a reef,” replied the
captain, “but If you all only keep ae calm
as possible 1 trust all will be safely landed.”
Just then one of the crew reported that the
ship's bottom hod been punctured, snd that
she was filling with water. The boat* were
st once got in readiness and all started to
leave tho ehip, but just aa they were about
to lower them the ship slipped off the rock
nnd disappeared with an angry roar. The
water was covered with struggling forms of
men anil women, and then all was over.
Only fourteen lived to tell the tale. These
;ot into one of the boots, but were power
less to save themselves, os they were with
out oar*. Capt. Moore, however, wrenched
a foot board from the bottom
of the boat, and with thia paddle eucceeded
in working the boat to tho island, where the
■urvivors were picked up by the Arthabasca.
Mr. Bently, manager of the line, has sent
out tugs from here with instructions to
search Isle Royal for any eurvivor* that
may possibly have got ashore, snd to pick
np snd take care ot any bodies that may bo
found. The tugs are now at the scene of
the wreck.

Edinburgh, November 11.—Mr. Glad
stone and wife and Lord Itoseberry nnd
wife to-day drove in a curringe from Dal-
meny park through the principal street* to
the Free Assembly Hall. Crowds of people
lined the route, and great enthusiasm was
manifested at the appearance of Mr. Glad
stone. On reaching the hall Mr. Gladstone
found it literally packed with people,
waiting to hear his address. Mr. Glad
stone said it was impossible for Parliament
to deal with the Irish question satisfactori
ly except by the action of a party strong
enough to act independently of the Irjsh
vote. According to Tory as woll as
Liberal reports, snch a party in the coming
Parliament can only be the Liberal party.
The consideration was more than ordin-
ily important; indeed, it was of highest
imperial importance.
'‘Passing to * subject lea* important." said Mr.
Oladatone, "I am reluctantly compelled to refer to
penonal matter*. I am unable to understand the
reason, but it undoubtedly ba a become a faililon
among a portion of tho Toriea to circulate

warfare that the Liberal* have never indulged in,
and I believe that the bulk of respectable Torle*
disapprove these untruth*, returned to me lu the

Suicides In llerlln.
Beblin, November 11.—There has been
an alarming increase in the number of sui
cide* in this city within Uto put several
month*. Cases are reported daily and some
days nnmber as high ay ten. To-day a re
tired banker named Uarkwald died in a
mysterious manner, and hi* wife shot her
self. Both of them left instructions to have
their bodies cremated.
I engaged In a newupspsr war with Lord Sherbrooke
over the metter, he opposing end I
advocating tho extension of tho suffrage. 1 hope
this exposure will ravo trouble to those a-hoae feats
and apprehensions the Tories seek to excite illegiti
mately.
I now enter s graver subject, disestablishment,
not bees use it is an Immediate and urgent neces
sity. but In order to remove widespread misappre
hensions.
Mr. Gladstone here referred to the six
teenth section of his election manifesto,
which is ns follows:
When the subject of State religion routs into
discussion, although tt has been more fully probed
snd unfolded in Scotland than elsewhere, snd al
though s lively feeling, aa wu naturally to be ex
pected, exists with regard to tt tn Wales, yet it is
the larger cau of England which principally ar
rests attention. Beariug in mind all the circum
stances of the question In connection with the
length of my put career, I might perhaps
plead for exemption from all slurs in
this controversy; but hevlrg regard, on the other
hand, to the deep Interest felt in It, with s strong
conviction on the part of so many whose confidence
1 have enjoyed. I think It right to any n few wonts.
If they sis only but to gratify over-sanguine expecta
tion and to mitigate alarms which appear to mo ex-
« prated, though they are entertained by many
on, both officially snd personally, I revere.
With respect to tho severero* of tho Church ot
England from the state. I think that so
vut a question cannot become practical until It
rhall have grown familiar to the public mind by
thorough dlscnuloD, snd the further condition that
the proposal, when thoroughly discussed, shall be
approved. Neither, I think, can such a change srtes
ins country snch u ours, except with * larger ob-
sentence of equity end liberality. *s **U u with
the general consent ot the nation. Ws can hardly,
however, be surprised If thou who observe that tho
current almost throughout the civilised world sets
tn thia direction, should desire or fear that among
ourselves, too. It may bo found to operate.
Mr. Gladstone then said:
When I wrote the section I considered it s pos
thumous requisite, fully believing, nod I still re
tain thnt ballet, that I never should bo called upon
to share in the practical controversies in relation
thereto. What 1 am abont to any relates chiefly to
the Chnrch of England. Circumstance* in Eng
land nnd Scotland are precisely the same. 1 wrote
simply to recommend that In the future, more or
less remote, when the controversy shall arias. It
should be prosecuted tn an equitable temper and
with n careful endeavor to master its energy. After
writing that passage In the manifesto. I heard
nothing of tha question for many weeks,
certainly old not raise alarm
a long time. I was not
nware of an Intention to make dtaestabUahmenl a
question. Lord Halisbury took the earliest
opportunity of expressing bis conrietlon that I
should pnmose the disestablishment of Uw Chnrch
of England, stating that he eras aura th* time had
coma. These remarks Induced many Liberal poli
ticians to fores tail th* question. I protest against
making tha Church a lost question to
th* exclusion of srsry other question. Just
consider tha e If set of young for candidates on this
question only. Than la no sense in It What I
contend la that there Is do state of things now sxist-
ing which makes it necessary. Just or allowable to
raise th* question of English rhnrcb disestab
lishment. Just now disestablishment In Scotland
Is tha question. Tha Scotch people should
wotcb when the proper Urns arrives, which, iu
my opinion, baa not yet coma. It would b* out
rageous folly for tha Liberals to allow themselves
to ba drawn from the other real, solid issues of th*
day by this question. We confront electors and say
vote for or against n candidate on grounds conned
ed with gnat questions ripa for discussion, which
can b* treated in n practical manner, and
so as to be of service to th* country,
Is tha Liberal party going to be
constituted on axcommotestion principles? Is tt
to sxclnds from Parliament everybody who does
not favor disestablishment! Thu la simply Impos
sible. Every sensible man will davota attention to
tilings which can ba dealt with in tha coming Par
liament. It would require n good deal to tom my
opinion, I will not any conviction, which ninety-
nine ont of every hundred Englishmen sharas, that
tha question of disestablishment of tha Chunk of
England la utterly remote from the coming Paella
meat.
Mr. Gladstone closed hia remarks abont
diseatabliahment by saying:
It l* a sc riot
questions out of
markable unanimity exists respecting tho questions
which require the fleet attention reform of the
Und laws, reform of tha procedure of Parliament,
completion of the reform but and the settlement
of tha imperial relations toward Inland.
Thaae questions afford a record which would make
tha powers of Parliament moat effectual for this
country. I cannot think but that It la an error to
thrust the** questions into darkness for th* sate of
a question whose maturity I utterly deny. Hut *
have been naked whether I will support Dr. Cum
ron’e resolution disestablishing and dis
endowing th* Scotch church. No set
tlement will estiafy Scotland unite*
It be th* genuine offspring of national sentiments
end feelings. I decline to support so abstract reso
lution on any subject, because it U tantamount to
making s solemn promt** to th* country. When
ever such n resolution U adopted I never do so un
til 1 as* a prospect that 1 shall b* able to perform
my promise. In ISM. a resolution In
favor of tho abolition of tho paper
duty passed tbs House of Commons
unanimously, but tbs Tories fiercely opposed for
two yean n bill giving effect thereto. A chans* in
circumstances always provides an apology for a
change of opinion. I am laboring now for Llbaial

A FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD WRECK.
An Kxprrs* on the llnltimore and Olilo
Thrown Inton Illver—-Sixteen Hurt.
PiTTsBrno, Pa., November 12.—A fright
ful wreck occurred nt Blue Stone Quarry,
on the Baltimore anil Ohio railroad, at 7
o'clock this morning. T tin No. 12, a
through express from Baltimore to Pitts
burg, consisting of a sleeper, two coaclicH,
two baggage and one express car, ran into a
misplaced switch nnd was completely
wrecked. Tto sleeper rolled over un em
bankment into the Youghiouheny ri-er.
Tlio other cars were upset, nnd the whole
train was detached from tho engine. Six
teen persons were injured, hut none were
killed outright. The names of tho
injured are: Hon. C. E. Boyle, member
of Congress from the Fayette district;
Hon. John Bowlin, collector of iutcrnal
revenue for the Twenty-Third district; J.
N. McJiltnn, legal agent of the RtWyn
and Ohio company; Hon. E. U. Bigler, col
lector of internal revenue for the Twenty-
Second district, and twelve others injured.
None of the wounded lire believed to ho
dangerously injured, unless it is Congress
man Boyle, whose condition is not known,
bnt is believed to ire seriqns. J. B. Me-
Jilton’s ankle was badly sprained and Col
lectors Dowlin nnd Bigler more badly
bruised.
The report of the wreck reached this city
st about 1) o'clock this morning nnd cauacd
great excitement, as it was known that
many prominent men of this city wore ex
pected on the train. The accident disar
ranged the telegraph wires, and it was after
10 o'cloek before the following particulars
of the accident were received: The express
was about fifteen minutes late when it
reached the place where the wreck occurred.
At Blue Stone Quarry the track makes a
sharp curve around the river, a short dis
tance back from the bonk. There is a
switch at the commencement of tho
curve. Whether someone had left
the switch partly opeq or not is
not certain. The officials of the rood
say the switch had been tampered with, evi
dently with the intention of causing a
wreck. Had the switch been open, tho
train would have gone into it all right and
would have stopped before any damage hod
been done. As it was, the train could go
on neither track. The result was that the
engine dashed along'the ties tearing np the
track and enusing the coaches and sleeping
car to break loose and dash on over the em
bankment in tho wildest confusion. Tho
sleeping car rolled orer and over and
stopped with its side lying in the bed of
the river, thirty feet below. The two pas
senger coaches stopped at the water's edge.
There were many passengers on board.
The scene that fallowed wag
one thnt beggared description. The
cries of the injured and maimed wcreheanl
from every car. The frightened passengers
sprang from the windows nnd struggled <
over each other to escape from the rolling
cars, and cries of pain were heard from
some who hod been caught and held within
the wreck. Those who escaped uninjured
were too much startled for a time to render
assistance. Then they began to rescue. A
essenger was sent to Conncllsvillo for
edical assistance, and in a short time a
corps of physicians was sent up on n special
rain. The injured, after having their
wounds dressed, were removed to the ho
tels at Connellaville, where they received
every attention that could be given them by
the railroad company. The wreck caused
C t excitement in ConnelUvUle, and for
rs afterward people hurried to the
scene of the accident. The track was
blockaded and tom up so badly that no
trains got through until this afternoon.
I’itthdi'eo, November 12.—The list of
tenons injured in the accident on tho Bal-
lmore and Ohio railway numbers twenty-
one. Only one of these, Congressman
Boyle, ie very seriously hurt, but ho wtl
probably recover. He was taken to his homo
at Uniontown. The relief train with tha
wrecked passengers arrived here this even
ing. One of the passengers, named Meter,
of Pittsbnrg, is badly burned abont tho
hands and arms. He describes how ho wits
thrown against a stove while tha
sleeping car was turning over. He
grasped the hot stove and
trovented it from upsetting, thus prevent-
ng the car from taking fire and probably
preventing a much more serious ac
cident in the event of the car taking fire. A
number of passengers corroborate Meter's
story. Several person* in the confusion
left the cor in their night garb. They
suffered severely from exposure until pro
Tided with clothing. Collector Dowung,
another passenger, said: “I was up to my
neck in tho water and might have been
drowned, but I managed to pull myself out.
We wore awakened by the rough
riding, snd discovered that the train
was running on the tics. Before we conld
make nn effort to get ont the coach wag
thrown into tho river. The car made two
revolution* before striking the water. It
alighted on end in the river. There wns
about five feet of water st tho point where
it struck.” * __
