WASHINGTON, Feb 20.-Seyeral of the Wash

astic Democrats from Western cities. lively can
vass is progress TO determine where the Demo-
cratic National Convention shall be held While
the advocates of st. Louis are hopeful-some Of
them protesting to be able TO count majority III
favor of that city-it is nevertheless true that they
are not so confident as they would be If they did
not believe that Mr.. Tilden favors Chicago.
One Of them said tonight that he
understood Mr.. Dana's visit 10 W as.iington was in
the interest of Chicago and that he came with the
approval, if not at the desire, OF Mr I1den.
The friends of SenatOr-eleet Payne are known to
be in favor of Chicago as it IS understood the
friends of ex-senator Mcdonald also are Carter
Harrison, of Chicago, is on hand with delegation
Of the Iroouois club and the Chicago headquarters
tonight were the scene OF much eonylyial e9t1us,
iasIn Perhaps it ought TO be said that good deal
of the same sort of enthusiasm peryaded the
81. LOUIS headquarters. Striking an average OF
the claims" Of the friends OF both ctles, IL would
appear that Chicago holds the lead.

THE PRESBYTERIANS.
The Cause of Foreign Stissions d.
clared Second to None.

The Cause of Foreign missions De-
clared Second to None.
New ORLEANS, May PA special from
Vicksburs says: In the Presbyterian
General Assembly to-day the substance
of the report on foreign missions which
was adopted was to the effect that
the cause in Importance was second to
none. Those most active in extending
the blessings Of the Gospel throughout
the world enjoy the largest measure of
the Spirits influence and are correspond
mgly effective in the prosecution of home
work for Christ. Rev DIR. Dobbs made
an interesting report on theological
seminaries, commencing the dill
gence of the directors of Columbia
Seminary and the special efforts of the
board to suppress error. This refers to
the views of one of the Professors in the
theory of evolution, that portion Of the
report was dOcketed. The report of the
Committee on Sabbath Schools shows
considerable of an increase. There are
1902 scholars in regular attendance.
over $500 scholars have been admitted to
the communion of the church. The re-
port disapprOyes of the use of publications
not authorized by the church. The re-
port was adopted.
The Sabbath Committee made "a strong
report in favor OF the observance of that
day. The committee recommend that
presbyterles require church sessions to
enforce the observance of the Sabbath by
admonitiOn and reprOOf.
A minute expressive of the feelings of
the assembly on the death of Cyrus H.
Mccormick, one Of the constant benefac-
tors of the church. was adopted.
A resolution was adopted reciting that
While individual members Of the Church
Court may prosecute for violations of
civil law relating to the Sabbath, such
courts in their organized capacity have
no right to meddle with civil affairs.
The report on the education of students
for the ministry was presented and refer
red to that committee.
Rev. d. Leighton Wilson was appointed
Secretary Of Foreign Missions, with an
assistant secretary.

LORD RANDoLPHs BOLD STAND
England's Breath Taken Away by His
Speech on the Franchise

England's Breath Taken Away by His
Speech on the Franchise
LONDON, May 21.-All the papers this
morning comment upon the attitude as.
sumed by Lord Randolph Churchill last
evening in the debate upon the franchise
bill. His opposition to Mr.. Broderick's
amendment to exclude Ireland from the
operation Of the bill, and his vote against
it, seem to have taken everyone by sur
prise.
The Times does not hesitate to declare
that his action ''shows that, despite the
reconciliation OF the Tory leaders, Lord
Randolph Churchill has not materially
restrained his native independence and
audacity."
The Daily Ne,gs hints at an under
standing into which Lord Randolph
Churchill and the Marquis of Salisbury
have entered into, in accordance with
which the former appeals to the Irish vote
OF birmingham. 'tThe Marquis of Sails
bury" it says, "appeals to English fears
and Lord Randolph Churchill to Irish
hopes"
Inc STANDARD prOnOunozs Lord RAN
dOlphs conduct ''mischieYOus and likely
to entail disaster upon the Conservative
cause.''
The Telegraph, however, declares that
Lord Randolph Churchill showed a
statesmanlike grasp of the eXigencies of
practical politics." 1t says further that
the young aspirant to the Conservative
leadership is gradually leaving the present
leaders behind him.
The Morning Post considers the argu-
ment advanced by Lord Randolph Church
Ill plausible, and says they sSdeserve and
| VIII obtain respectful attention"

MORAY OF HOPE IN CUBA.
NEITHER POLITICS NOR FINAN-
CES A WHIT IMPROVED.

Sugar Planters shipping Their Ma
chinery to Mexico and Preparing to
Follow IL Themselves-The Insurgents
Shown No Merey-The Press Censor
ship Still lntOIerabIy Rigid
NEW YORK, May PA letter from
Havana, dated May II, saws: "The re-
suits of the commercial and political
crisis through which the island is pass
ing, without any hope of near improve
ment, are daily becoming more patent.
From the province of Matanzas thirty
families have emigrated to Mexico, and
the machinery of six abandoned planta-
tions has been shipped to Vera Cruz, to
be used in Mexico on a sugar plantation.
An engineer mas gone to Vera Cruz with
list of machinery and apparatus belong
ing to thirty plantations with the object
OF OHerlng them to persons in Mexico.
MANY PREPARING TO EAiIGRATE.
Many families are preparing to leave
for settlement. In Caracas the sugar
crop is very nearly all disposed of. The
greater part of the plantations having
ceased to grind the planters find them
selves in precarious position, as nobody
is able or willing to advance any money
for the raising of the next crop. Many
planters will be obliged to abandon their
plantations.
A great drought prevails over a vast re-
gion of the island and is doing special
damage to the tobacco crop and cattle
raising interests. In Havana and the
neighborhood it has not rained for five
months, except a few occasional showers
of short duration.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Inc political situation remains un-
altered. 1t is said that the Cuban insur-
gent chief, Carrillo, has landed on the
island, and that probably he will act in
combination with other bands which are
expecting his arrival. 1t is not stated
where he landed. There is no longer any
doubt that all the different bands are act
ing under the orders of an organized Cen
tral Committee, as has lately been proven
by the capture of one of the insurgents,
on whose person documents of the Cuban
Revolutionary Committee were found.
DEATH WITHOUT TRIAL.
1t is positively stated that all the insur-
gents captured are Immediately shot
without trial. The people do not believe
that this method of dealing with the re-
volt will prove successful, as the magni-
tude OF the uprising will soon become
known in spite of the silence imposed on
the press. The press is under more re-
straInt than at any previous time. Pre-
YiOuSly the censor confined himself to
striking out what should not be published
and no punishment was imposed. Now
the authorities confscate the pa
per and denOunce it to the tri-
bunals, which imposes the punishment
of temporary suspension, and after
paper has been three times denounced
and condemned it is suppressed alto
gether. This has lately happened to a
Republican paper which had made itself
particularly disagreeable to the powers
that be.
CUBA NOT TO BE PURCHASED.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The State De-
partment formally denies the report again
current that negotiations are on foot for
the purchase of Cuba by the United States.

NEW HAMPsHIItE DEMOCRATS
No Instructions Given to the Delegates
but the ''OId Ticket in Favor.

CONCORD, n. H., May 21.-The Dem
ocratic State Convention met here this
morning. There was a large attendance
of delegates and spectators. The cOnyen-
tiOn was organized and Hon. Hosea W.
Parker was chosen Chairman. After the
appointment of the usual committees Mr..
Parker made an address, in which he de-
nounced the protection policy of the Re
publican party. He devoted much of his
speech to exposing it's fallacies; a tariff
for revenue only was demanded, and this
was to be the issue in the coming cam
paign. The resolutions declare against
all laws tending toward Capitalization of
power, wealth or political influence; that
taxation is an incident not an OBJ
iect of the government, and
should only be LEVIED to provide means
for the economical maintenance ofthe gov
ernment and timely discharge Of its OBJ
legations, bearing lightly on articles in
common use, and demand reduction in
the war tariff, in accordance with these
principles; commend the action of the
Democratic majority i'll the national
House and their recent earnest efforts for
tariff reform; regret the result of these
efforts, and insist on persistent efforts un-
til the revenue system is re-established on
q just and honest basis and call for a
thorough reform in the tariff
financial and administrative affairs; and
again assert utter condemnation of the
great crime of 1876, a wrong that ''we
propose to right and make it impossible
Of performance hereafter" The resolu-
tiOns were adopted.
Frank Jones of Portsmouth. Henry 0.
Kent of Lancaster, Frank A. Mexican of
Nashua, and Alvah Sulloway of Frank
lin, were then nominated delegates at
large and alternates were elected. No in
structions were given the delegates, but
as the unanimous sentiment of the con-
Vention is in favor of the old ticket they
will undoubtedly support it at the Ma
tiOnal Convention. The convention then
adjourned.
The district delegates elected are as fol-
lows: First district-Patrick Fahey and
John +. Coultman. Second district
Harry Bingham and Hon. Hosea w. Par
ker. All Of the delegates favor the nomi-
nation OF the old ticket, but are unin-
structed.

PITTsBURG, PA, May 21.-A mixed
train on the Panhandle Railroad collided
with a freight train at Wheeling juno
tiOn, 40 miles from here to-day, killing
one man and injuring others. The
mixed train, consisting of eight freight
cars and a passenger cabo0se, was back
ing to a side-track and the flagman had
been sent back to notify the freight en-
gineer to stop, but owing to a fog he did
not see him in time to prevent the acct
dent, and the freight train crashed into
the caboose. A travelling salesman
named Bartholomew, of Cincinnati, was
killed. The five injured were employees
of the railroad.

PARIS, May 21.-The Partisan papers

in regard to the Tientsin treaty. They
opinion that its definite solution has been
rendered easier.
1t is reported that France intends to
impose diaerential duties at the rate of %
percentum upon all imports into TOnquin
other than French. 1t will also adopt
measures looking to the special protec-
tion Of French shipping in Tonquin
waters, and will levy high tonnage tax
on foreign vessels. 1t intends also to gain
from China great privileges for French
trade instead of the indemnity it had be-
fore determined to demand.
