Action Ut the Presbyterian General
Assembly at Detroit.
DETROIT, May 23.-With the usual de-
votional exercises the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly opened yesterday with a
great array of empty seats, the commits
sioners not coming up very promptly. It
was 10 o'clock before there was full
house. The moderator named the COM
mittees, and then the clerk read "A list Of
the presbyteries that have voted on the
question of change in the confession, that
being the special order for the day. Nine
ty-one presbyteries voted for change.
seven voted against, and six refused to re-
port. The report OF the revision commit
tee was then read by Rev. w. G. Roberts
In the debate on the report, after Rev.
j. Il. Smith, of Baltimore, had moved it's
acceptance and recommital to the pres
byteries, President Patton said he heartily
approved of revision, but objected to
sending this report down with marks of
approval. Some of the changes he en-
dorsed, others he opposed. After some
further debate the report was adopted
and recommitted. The presbyteries will
report their views back to the committee
on revision, and the latter will finally re.
port next year. And SO the great re-
vision battle was ended almost as soon as
it was begun

KILLED BY FOUL AIR.

Three Miners Sufrocated, and In At
tempting to Save a Comrade.
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo, May ga terri
BILE accident occurred yesterday at the Lit
tie Corporal mine, near this place, by
which three men-William Barklie, John
Dierks, and B. Benson-lost their lives.
1t appears that a drift has been driven
from the main shaft, and a raise was
made from the drift to intersect an old in
cline above. This incline has been known
to have bad air for sometime. 1t is sup
posed that when the break was made
through, the men were at once overcome
with tho rush of foul air and killed.
Dierks and Elmer Miller were found by
Benson in the top Of the raise, both insen-
sible, and he carried Miller and returned
for Dierks only to pay the forfeit of his
own life for his singular bravery.

tive, and then the United States cruiser
went strai ght on her way.

LONDON, May 25.-Lord Randolph
Churchill cables to The Graphic from
Capetown that on May ~ an encounter
took place at the rear of Massikesse,
between the Portuguese and the British
South Africa company's police. The
Portuguese numbered about $50 Euro
peans and 500 natives with four guns.
The British numbered sixty with one
gun. The Portuguese were repulsed
with seven killed and more wounded. 1t
is believed that the Portuguese, having
occupied Massikesse, which was found
evacuated, marched ON Umtassa, where
the fight occurred.
War Feeling I'm Lisbon.
This news has caused much excitement
both in London and Lisbon. A dispatch
from the latter city states that the war
feeling is again uppermost, and that the
people are clamoring for revenge upon
the British South Africa company This
for the moment has diverted attention
from the financial crisis, which makes
it impossible for Portugal to make any
formidable warlike demonstration.
Doesn't Like the Portuguese.
The English authorities are preparing
to give stunning reception to the two
emissaries from the powerful African
king, Gungunhama, whose territories lie
chiefly within the bounds claimed by
Portugal. Gungunhama asks for British
protection, and declares that he wants
nothing to do with the Portuguese. He 10

He would not believe them and or
dered them to be baked alive, from which
fate they were saved by an English mis-
sionary, who convinced the king that they
told the truth. The missionary was hor-
rified to learn later on that the king had
caused two OF his slaves to be subjected
to the fate intended for his emissaries, on
the ground that, having given his word,
somebody must perish.

International Row Over Doing Honor to
Queen vic's Birthday.
DETROIT, Mich, May 26.-It has long
been the custom Of the Detroit, Belle Isle
and Windsor Ferry company, which does
business between Windsor, Canada, and
Detroit, to observe the holidays of both
countries by decorating the boats with
flags. Queen Victoria's I'D birthday an
niversary was Sunday, and the Cana
dian government ordered it celebrated
yesterday. Yesterday morning not flag
waved from the poles of either ferry boat,
the Hope or the Victoria.
Fly the Flag BE Tied UP.
When Canadian Customs Officer Beers
noticed this he ordered the captain of the
Hope to get out his bunting. That officer
complied willingly, but when he ordered
the captain of the Victoria to do the
same that officer absolutely refused until
ordered by Superintendent Clinton. Beers
sent for Clinton and reused the latter's
ire by ordering the flags displayed at
once Clinton fatty told Beers that he
would no nothing of the sort, and hot
words passed between the men, Beers
telling Clinton that he would have the
Victoria tieo up unless the flags waved
in the breeze.
Clinton Finally Wilted.
Clinton wilted at this, and the cross Of
ST. George foated all the rest of the day
on both boats. Beers claimed that he had
a right to do as he did, as the boats do an
international business and work under a
Canadian charter. Collector George H.
Hopkins. of the port of Detroit, and the
United States district attorney deny this
right. The full details of the affair were
sent to Secretary Blaine by wire

OHIO CHANGERS.

Almost Certain That State Ticket VIII

trict Tickets-Componen Parts of the
Convention at COMMUNICATIONS from
the Platform which viii Probably BE
Adopted-The 2 Per Cent. Loan Scheme
Included.
COLUMBUS. o., May 27.-Present indi-
cations are that the third party men have
captured the convention of the Ohio
Farmers Union which met here at ~
o'clock this morning. President Lkins,
of the state Alliance (open); President Ell
lis. of the state Grange, and other promi-
nent leaders are strongly in favor of an
independent movement. While the NOM
nations for state offices may not be made
at this meeting it is altogether probable
that q convention will be arranged for
that purpose, and that third party tickets
in the counties and senatorial districts
will be endorsed.
A Fair Representative Body.
This Farmers Union is fairly repre-
sentative organization, and is composed
of delegates from the open and secret
Alliance, the Grange, the Patrons Of
Husbandry, the Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton and all farmers societies having
state or county organization. The
present meeting is the outgrowth of a
state convention last fall at which time it
was decided to hold another session be-
fore the fall election. The third party
movement will meet with some opposi-
ton, but conversation with delegates de-
velops strong sentiment in its favor,
and does not leave much room to doubt
that it will carry.
An Outline of the Platform.
A prominent member of the open Alli-
ance, who is here as delegate to the
union, says that the platform to be
adopted will not be an Endorsement of
that adopted at the recent Cincinnati
convention. 1t will be more nearly an
Endorsement of the state Alliance plat
form adopted at Gallon. He gives the
substance of platform which he has
drawn up, and expects to have adopted.
1t demands unlimited coinage of
silver; loans of unlimited amounts to
farmers at per cent. interest and secured
by mortgage on land; abolishing the ma
tional banking SYSTEM; government con-
troll of railroads and telegraphs; further
Gals; prohibiting alien ownership of land;
equal taxation on all private property;
election of president, vice president
and United States senators by di-
rect vote of the people; reduction Of
railroad passenger fares to cents mile;
the forfeiture of all unearned land grants;
a graded income tax for corporations and
individuals; measure to prevent specu-
lation in farm products; the passage Of a
law multiplying the effect of the original
package decision. 1t is understood that
the platform will contain no radical ref
erence to the tariff question.
They're All "Agin" Sherman.
S. III. Ellis was asked if the farmers
would return Senator Sherman If they
controlled the next legislature. "No,"
said he, IL don't think there is any chance
for Senator Sherman to be elected, no
matter what the farmers do" All who
express themselves in the matter speak
decisively against Senator Sherman.
