LONDON GOSSIP.
A Wall of Despair from the Welsh
Clergy-The Worlds Exposition.

LONDON, Aug N.-The abandonment by the
government of the tithes recovery bill is fol-
lowed by wall of despair from the clergy in
Wales, who have been for years in a condition
bordering upon destitution, owing to their
inability to enforce the payment of their tithes.
The government had given them the most
solemn pledges that the bill should be pushed
through, and now that they find themselves
abandoned and deceived they are in despair.
Several Of the clergy in the smaller Welsh
towns have already given up their churches
and accepted positions in various secular call
ings, and the movement can not fail to become
general since the failure of the tthes bill takes
away their last hope OF support within the
church. As by far the larger proportion of the
population are dissenters, little sympathy is
wasted on these clergy, who are regarded as
sinecurists foisted upon the people who de-
test them. 1t is confidently predicted that if
the present condition OF things is permitted to
last for a single year there will not be clergy
man OF the church Of England in all Wales, aud
disestablishment, when it comes, will only be a
matter of form.
THE PROPOSED WORLDS EXPOSITION
in commemoration of the four hundredth an
niversary of the discovery OF America is al
ready attracting considerable attention on the
part of the English press and that of the con-
tinent. The German papers are urging the
company that is organizing an exhibition of
German products to be carried from port to
port on ship now building for the purpose To
hurry up their enterprise SO that their exhibi-
ton ship may sail to America when the exposi-
ton opens and be on had with their rival show.
Englishmen are becoming quite a. sensitive as
Americans on the subject of pauper emigra-
ton to these shores. Workmen complain Of
the competition Of the ofscourings of the
continent, which is keeping their wages down
to the starvation point They are loud in their
demand for a similar law to that passed by the
American Congress few years ago.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Three Ladies Get Lost on the Top of
Mount Hood, but are Finally Rescued.

PORTLAND, ORE, Aug. 2l.-Three Portland
ladies-Mrs. Geo. Bonar, Mrs. Frank Morgan
and Miss Sallie wiberg-had thrilling experi-
ence on Mount Hood the other day. They be-
came separated from party that made the as-
cent and spent the greater part Of the dreary
night on a barren rock 10000 feet above the
sea. The party, consisting Of three men and
six women, began the ascent at 10 O'Clock in
the morning. and in the face of a strong cold
wave reached the summit after a climb Of six
hours. The descent was made by z O'Clock in
the evening, but
THE THREE LADIES WERE MISSING.
The alarm was given among the hundreds Of
mountain, and fifty men, armed with guns and
lanterns. started out to search for the lost ones
Several smaller parties started bonfres in shell
tered places and fired signal guns every few
minutes. All night the search was kept MP.
Men secured every nook and crevice of the
snow-clad peak from its base almost 10 the sum-
NIT. Signal fires were lighted near the base of
the mountain wherever they were sheltered
from the wind. About O'Clock in the morning
on the eastern slope of the mountain, the
women were found
HUDDLED TOGETHER TO KEEP WARN
The ladies said that when they found that
they had become separated from the party they
wandered about for hours. They frequently
heard panthers and wolves. Fearing attack
they sought a place on the top Of the rock
where they we're found The only weapon they
had was a long alpine stick with sharpened iron
bolts In one end Miss Wiberg held it, and
several times when wolves and panthers were
growing about the base of the rock on which
they we're perched she made ready TO use IL in
defense of their lives

Special Despatch to THE EVENING STAR
NORFOLK, Aug 21-Delegates to the republi-
can convention are beginning to show up,
though it will not convene until tomorrow.
Those here now are mostly the leaders, gather
ing In advance to talk over matters and formu-
late plans Of procedure. Besides Gen. Ma
hone and Col. VIM. Lamb, who is a resident of
this place, there are here, ex-Gov. VIM. G..
Cameron Of Petersburg, 8. Brown Allen of
Staunton, q. s. District Attorney w. E. Craig,
Judge N. B. Wood of Scott county, ex-State
Senator E. W. Early of Albermarle and other
lesser lights. More of tine prominent men
arrived this morning and others, together with
the majority of delegates, will arrive today and
tonight. The majority Of delegates from the
eastern part of the state are colored. White
ones predominant from the southwest aud
valley.
1t may be stated with certainty tha.
GEN. MALONE WILL BE NOMINATED BIZ AcCLA-
NATION
II he will have it If he declines there will
be general nominations, among them ex-Mayor
Lamb who is ;he most prominent and thought
to be the choice of Malone, Judge Wood, Frank
s. Blair of Wytherlle and Henry Bowen of
Tazewell. Gen. Blair was a late candidate for
solicitor general and had very strong backing.
Mr. Bowen is an ex-Congressman from the
ninth district and is q contestant for the seat of
Representative-electJ John A. Buchanan. 1t is
thought by some that Gen. Malone will allow
himself to be nominated and then decline in
favor OF Lamb. Others assert that he will do
nothing Of the kind as that would estrange
other aspirants.
The city republican convention last night
elected fifteen straighout Malone delegates to
the convention. In Norfolk county yesterday
afternoon the county and Portsmouth senatorial
convention was held and Col. Geo. A. Martin
was nominated for the Senate and Supervisor
Z. ID. Holman (coloredO was nominated for the
house of delegates.
The republicans Of Williamsburg met Mon.
day night and selected an anti-Mahone delega-
ton. Speeches were made strongly opposing
the present plan OF party organization.
in other portions Of the state, but not enough to
affect the harmony Of the convention.
GOV. CAMERON WILL NOT REMAIN
nor attend the convention at all, nor will Gen.
Groner of Norfolk take any part in it, and they
both announce that the element known as
'kickersn will not be represented at the con-
vention officially in any way. Col Brady,
lately appointed United States collector for the
tend, advocate a pacific policy and oppose a
revolt on the part of the disaffected.
Gen James A. Walker of Wytheville. hereto
fore a protection democrat, is spoken of for
attorney general and it is said he is willing to
accept a nomination. He is the father-in-Iaw
of ex-United States Marshal j. r. Jordan, who
was delegate to the Richmond convention
last week. If he should be selected for that
place the chances of the straightout republican
candidates for governor or lieutenant governor
from that section will be wiped out.
Everything points to harmonious meeting
and whatever the result it will be indorsed by
the convention.
