. GERMAN BAPTIsTs,
Interesting Questions Up Before the
Annual Convention.

Annual Convention.
HARRIsoNBURG, VA, June 12.-The pro-
ceedings of the German Baptist annual con-
vention were opened with prayer. after
which B. u. Sharp of Illinois, submitted the
report of the committee on missionary
work. Forty-dve thousand dollars was
collected during the year, nineteen
churches organized, thirty-six church
houses built, and $50 members received
through mission work. The report was
adopted.
The report of the book and tract work
was read, showing large collections and
disbursements, and heavy distribution of
books and tracts.
THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.
The most interesting discussion of the
day was on the prohibition question. The
action Of the meeting yesterday on this
question did not give satisfaction, and the
standing committee introduced through
Elder j. g. Morris of Illinois the following
WHEREAS, In consideration of query No 2
from Western Maryland, there unfortunately
obtained a misunderstanding among our breth-
rem, producing very unsatisfactory result, by
creating wrong impression as to our position
on the subject OF temperance; therefore
Resolved, That this annual meeting recon.
mend that all our brethren cordially maintain
our position against the use of tolerance of in
use as beverage and the extent Of our inilIi-
ence contribute our part to secure practical
prohibition, but that we be advised against
taking part in public agitation Of the subject.
The resolution, after discussion, was
unanimously adopted.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The subject of foreign missions was then
taken up, and it was resolved that the
church in Canada should be treated as a
foreign mission.
After this the question whether or not
sisters could be delegated to the annual
council came up. This caused very
spirited discussion, but it was finally de-
cided that they could not 1t was was de-
cided that the elders should be allowed to
annoint the sick if no clergyman could be
had. Then the next highest in authority
was authorized to do SO.
The question of the use of tobacco wa
again brought up and it was again decided
that its use was against the teaching of the
scripture.
The meeting then appointed d. L. Miller
of Illinois, one of the delegates, to act as
railooad agent Of the convention.
1t was decided to be improper for the
brethren to join the Farmers Alliance, car
penter's association, etc.
After vigorous protest, it was declared
that the members should not work in to-
bacco factories or raise tobacco. and it was
further decided that it was wrong to use
tobacco except for medicinal purposes.
The days session closed with the reading
of a message of love and sympathy from
the brethren of Denmark and Sweden.

sEATTLE's RUINS.
The Work of Clearing Away the
Debris in Progress.

The WOrK or Clearing away the
Debris in Progress.
SEATTLE, w. t., June 12.-The work of
clearing away the debris 10 the burned dis
trict began yesterday in earnest All the
contents of the vaults Of the various banks
have been found to be in perfect order.
The telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires are being rapidly replaced. The toll
phone system will be in operation in few
days and the electric light in few weeks
The water works are already in operation.
TRANSPORTATION NOT INTERRUPTED.
The railroad and steamboat transporta-
ton has hardly been interrupted by the
confiagration, though considerable inconve-
nience has been experienced by both in
landing passengers. Business houses are
finding locations III tents and temporary
structures. Schools have started up again,
and all the churches, except Trinity Episco-
palian and the Methodist Protestant, had
services as usual Sunday. The daily
newspapers are all issuing as
usual. Offers of aid continue to
pour in together with much money and
more provisions. No statement of the
losses can be made more accurate than that
already given. The loss is placed at s15,-
600, 900. and this, it is believed, will be
found to be good estimate. The contribu-
tions of cash now aggregate $50, 800.

will be made to verify the first, and as this
will take over week, there will be no cor
rect list of the living until that time. This
register will be official, and is being made
for legal purposes as well as general infor-
nation.
LOSS OF TIE JEWELERS..
The total loss of the retail jewellers, as re-
ported to the New York jewellers board of
trade, is about $75, 900. The heaviest loser
is j. Luckert, Jr., whose damage amounts
to about $4,000.
The official report of the bureau of regis
tration this morning, which places the total
number of bodies recovered at !, l92 and
survivors at 1888, causes considerable
comment about the city. Those who have
been accounting the lost away up in tens Of
thousands have been set to thinking to-
night. Col. Rodgers, of the bureau of
information, said: 81 have been estimat-
ing the number of lost at 5000,
and recent developments have not caused
me to alter my opinion. OF course that
estimate does not include the smaller
boroughs, but they would not run the re-
suit above my figure. l think the greater
number of the bodies have been recovered.
There win not be so many found in the
sand as was supposed, because the people
had all sought the tops of their houses.
of debris.
G. b. Clark of Altoona has at last con-
sented to turn over the proof of his di-
rectory of Johnstown. BY means of this it
is hoped to form a complete registry list
and eventually full list of the dead.
THE REGISTRATION.
The bureau of registration reported to-
day that 15,67S survivors have registered.
Many registered twice and some half a
dozen times, which caused the list to run
up to 21 900. For the past twenty-four
hours there have been very few names
registered, scarcely more than a score,
showing that the work is approaching COM
pletion.
A POINT YIELDED TOO LATE.
1t took all day to pay the men who have
so far been at work, and not over 100 to 125
were doing anything. When it was found
that very few men intended to remain to
work for the state at 81 so day and
board themselves hasty consultation was
held and it was thought best to yield a
point before the men left, as it would be
difficult to induce them to return. 1t was
announced, therefore, that they would be
paid 81 so and be furnished rations as
before. The notice was too late. however,
and but few comparatively remained.
THE COMPANY STORE SYSTEM.
The Cambria Iron Company will not pay
its men until Monday or Tuesday, when
they will have6pened temporary company
stores. The company store system will be
resumed. Considerable dissatisfaction ex-
lists among the men, who say that the goods
taken from the company's wrecked store
are not clean.

egatlon was headed by ex-Gov. Cameron,
Col Brady. member of the national repub-
lcan committee from Virginia, aud Gen.
Groner, chairman of the anti Malone wing
OF the Republican party in Virginia The
members OF the delegation were cordially
received by President Harrison, and were
with him for twenty minutes or more. The
interview was private, there being no per-
sons other than the President and the dele
gation IN the room.
ADDRESSES MADE.
Brief addresses were made by Messrs.
Cameron, Brady and Groner in which the
case of the delegation against the manage
ment OF the party's interests in Virginia
by Gen. Malone were reviewed The
speakers said substantially that as freemen
they could not submit to the control of the
Malone party in Virginia 1t is stated
by members of the delegation that in reply
ing to the remarks addressed to him the
President said that he did not think it was
part OF his functions to undertake to settle
party disputes, that so far as no was con-
cerned he did not intend to give recogni-
ton TO any one faction in the party, aud
tnat he had expressed the same views to the
delegation of Malone republicans which
called on him yesterday.
HARRISON WANTS HARMONY.
The President further said that he earn
estly desired harmony and party success in
Virginia, and discaimed in positive terms
that he had ever said that appointments In
Virginia should be made only upon Gen.
Mahone's recommendation. At the conclu-
sion Of the Presidents remarks the delega-
tton withdrew to its headquarters at the
Ebbit house much pleased, and expressing
themselves as entirely satisfied with the re-
suit of their interview. The communica-
tion addressed TO Gen. Malone above re.
ferred to has not been answered by him nor
its reception acknowledged.
AS SEEN THROUGH OTHER EYES.
Special to the Morning Neus.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The authorized
version of the interview between President
Harrison and the anti -Mahonites of the
Virginia Republican party. gives no idea Of
the feelings exhibited on either side. That
on the Presidents part was irritation
amounting TO indignation at the presump-
tion Of the delegation in venturing to cali
him to account for giving Gen. Malone
control of the patronage of Virginia, and
on the part Of the delegation there
was disappointment and disgust. The
President gave them to understand
frankly that he would not interfere to help
them to the plums they $50 much desire.
Meanwhile Gen. Malone was laughing with
Senator Quay, up at Chamberlain's, at the
dire plight of his opponents. He has
yielded nothing. All that he wants is to be
let alone.

Col. Buck Still Seems to Be Power

admission to bailY' asked Judge Tulev.
For either,n said Lawyer Trude. 1--WE
ask for his release if no indictment has
Deen returned against him. IL
there is an Indictment then we
ask to have him admitted to bail,
We base our petition upon the statement
that there is no evidence against Alexander
sullivan except idle gossip and that the
evidence is insufficient to hold him on a
charge Of murder. We ask the states at
.orney TO produce one witness before the
bar of this court to submit one piece of
legal evidence against the accused.n
THE JUDGES POINT.
Judge Gilbert made the point that the
verdict OF the coroners jury was not suffi-
clent warrant for Sullivans arrest. Il was
impossible to tell from the verdict what
Alexander Sullivan was charged with. 1t
dld not show whetkar he was charged with
being accessory before or after the fact, or
whether he had guilty knowledge of the
murder before c. after it. 1t was
finally argued that the court should
take the evidence heard by the coroner's
jury, and have the testimony of those wit
nesses touching on the alleged connection
OF Alexander Sullivan pointed out to him.
lt was some time before LAWYER Trude
would consent to this. He said that neither
ne nor his client knew what the evidence
was, except by newspaper reports Then
the court suggested that if Sullivan were
not satisfied to leave the matter entirely
with him, he could cross-examine certain
witnesses on the stand, but the states at
torney would be allowed to also put in evil
dence the reason Lawyer Trude consulted
with his client. Sullivan agreed to leave
the evidence with the court to decide if it
were sufficient TO hold him. The court said
he would consider it legally without preiu-
dice, but could not promise to get through
with the matter before Friday morning.
Sullivan was remanded, therefore, until 10
o'clock Friday morning.
NEW WORKERS ARRAIGNED.
NEW YORK, June 12.-AIaroney and
Mcdonald were arraigned in the Tombs
court this afternoon before Justice Hogan.
Detective Won Gerichton asked to have
Them remanded until tomorrow, when Chi
cago detectives would be here. Justice
Hogan thought it best to commit
them to await acquisitions, which is
the procedure under the law. They
were held under the law without bail. In
a statement to the justice Maroney said
II have no hesitation in going to Chicago.
but If will be permitted to prove an alibi

Late this afternoon writs of habcas
corpus were obtained for the production of
Maroney and Mcdonald in the supreme
