THE FILIBUsTERS.
Evidence Gathering in Strength Against
the English Company.

WASHINGTON, June 24th.-The Cabinet meet
ing took no action to-day respecting the COM
plications in Lower California caused by the re-
ported attempt to seize that country, owing to
the absence of the Attorney General, who has
gone to attend the graduation of his son from
college. He will be gone one week or ten days.
diplomatic circles are engaged in discussing
this complication, and especially the part
taken in 1t by English subjects and American
citizens.
1t is understood that the Mexican Minister,
on the advice of his counsel, ex-Minister John
w. Foster, has notified his Government that the
English company is responsible for the whole
scheme and that its officials should be severely
punished. The Minister recommends that all
the conspirators be banished on pain of death
II they return, and that their entire property
be conhscated. 1t is believed that his recon-.
mendations will be carried out unless the Eng
lish Government should interpose strenuous OBJ
lectionS.
Advices received here in diplomatic circles
from Mexico indicate that President Diaz' enc
mics are making it quite warm for him and are
determined to secure his downfall. They are
making great capital out of this Lower Cali
fornia seizure scheme, and throw the entire
blame on President Diaz They charge that
the English company would never have Sc
cured foothold in Lower California had not
Diaz granted them these concessions, and
that he received large sum of money for so
doing. Should England send two or three
men-of-war there to protect the English COM
pany, it is believed Diaz would show the white
feather.
Special Agent Fosters attention was called
to-day to the report that Claus Spreckels was
phaticaly denied. He said that there is no
evidence showing that Mr. Spreckels was con-
nected, directly or indirectly, with the scheme,
or that he even knew of it before the exposure.
There has been received at the Department
of Justice further evidence confirming the
active agency of the English company with the
scheme. through Mr.. Scott their general man
ager: This evidence comes from excellent au-
thOrity

ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS,
A State Ticket Nominated and Plat
form Presented.

AoT" ITcseuUeus
SPRINGFIELD Ill.) June 24th-Ihe Republi-
can State Convention to-day nominated the
following ticket: Treasurer. Franz Amberg OF
Chicago: Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Dr. Richard A. Edwards, present incumbent
mated.
The platform renews its declaration in favor
of a free and honest ballot and count, and rec
omends the enactment of the Australian ballot
system by the next general assembly. National
and State action is urged against trusts and
combination whereby the price of the neces.
saries of life are unjustly enhanced, and the
combinations of common carriers whereby the
expenses OF carrying the products of the farm
are placed at such an extortionate figure as to
amount to confiscation both of the Iarm and
labor.
The platform maintains that no CORPORATION
or company should be permitted to get more
than reasonable per cent. on the actual capi-
tai invested and reasonable wages for its Off
GERS and employees; that dividends on watered
stock are robbery.
: 1t indorses the platform of 1888, and favors
the use of both gold and silver as a money.
Liberal pensions are favored, the importance
OF the temperance question recognized, and ali
proper and practical methods for abating the
evils OF the liquor traffic are favored.
The administration of President Harrison is
cordially indorsed, as are also the rules of the
House of Representatives. ''by which the rule
of a majority in Congress is made effective not
withstanding the filibustering tactics of the
democratic minority, whose only purpose
ton"
On the school question the platform says: "We
recognize the American public school system as
the chief agency in securing intelligent citizen
ship and the chief bulwark of popular liberties
and we declare in favor of a compulsory educa-
tion law. which will guarantee to all children
OF the State ample opportunity of acquiring
such elementary education as will fit them for
intelligent duties when they reach the age of
manhood but we are at the same time opposed
to any arbitrary interference with the right of
parents or guardians to educate their children
at private schools no matter where located and
we favor the amendment of the existing com.
puisory education law so as to conform with the
declaration herein set forth, and also the repeal
OF so mucn OF the said law as provides for pub
nc supervision over private schools"

Annual Meeting of the International
Sunday-School Convention


PITTsBURG, June Ath.-The International
Sunday school Annual Convention met this
morning. Twelve hundred delegates were
present from all the States, Territories and
Provinces of Canada, including all the eyangeli-
cal denominations.
AT the afternoon session President REYNOLDS
spoke at length of the work in the field New
England now, instead of being the fold from
which the great West draws its missionary sup
plies, is missionary field itself. The vast num-
Der OF foreigners coming in has created de-
mand for missionaries that never existed before
right ip the heart of New England
In the South both the white and colorad peo-
pie are interested, and great work is being done,
IN the West and North, so far as Sunday schools
are concerned, no States in the Union are better
supplied. Although the organizations are weak,
they are improving, and the outlook in the
West is glorious.
Summing up. he said: "All over this great
country Sunday school work is in more pros
perous condition than ever. The people are
dropping denominatioual prejudices, and re al
izing more and more that if this country is ever
to be saved the Sunday school must be the
means, and not only the Christians, but the
thinking men of all classes, sre looking 10 the
institution as the maiustay of our nation"
Major Jsrris of Alabama was then elected
President, and the other officers ch osen. Ad-
Journed until tomorrow.
