The National Order Meets In Annual
Session at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, May l2.-The twonty- third
annual convention of the National Order.
of Railway Conductors met here to-day.
A reception was held this morning, at
which all the visiting delegates and their
ladies, about 5000 in number, were pres
ent. Addresses of welcome were made
by the Governor and other prominent
men OF the State and city. A business
meeting commenced at l O'clock
Grand Chief Conductor Clarke states
that since the Denver convention, when
it was decided to make the organization
protective instead OF a merely social and
benevolent one, the order met with un-
bounded success, but their efforts would
not end there. A grander achievement
was yet in view-the confederation and
amalgamation of the different orders of
railway workers.
Grand Chief Sargent of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen also made
ringing address in favor of the feder-
alton.
Grand Chief Howard of the Brother
hood OF Conductors said tho alleged
enmity existed between the Brother
hood and Order of Railway Conductors
was false and without just foundation,
and he and Chief Clarke exchanged
cordial greetings.
The convention will be in session about
ten DAYS.

New YORK, May 12.-The New York
Presbytery to-day resumed consideration
of the case of Professor Briggs, of the
Chair of Biblical Theology in the Union
Theological Seminary. DR.. Briggs spoke
at some length in his own defense. The
majority report was adopted by vote of
A to 80. Professor Briggs then gave
formal notice that he would enter a pro-
test against the appointment of a COM
mittee and a complaint againstethe action
just taken by the Presbytery. DIR. Birch
gave notice he would in certain contln-
gencies prefer new charges against Profess
sor Briggs. Rev. DR.. Shiland offered q
resolution that Judicial Committee be
appointed by the NJ oderator to take into
consideration the case Of Professor
Briggs. Adopted. The committee will
be appointed later.
AT the next regular meeting of the
presbytery in June it will probably be
determined when the trial of Professor
Briggs shall begin.
In the opinion of thoughtful men this
decision of the New York Presbytery is,
beginning so far ahead, reaching a split
i'll the ranks of the Presbyterians. AS
DR.. McIllvaine said: 1.-The condemnation
of Briggs means the condemnation of a
great party throughout the world which
is gradually spreading in every branch of
religious work. If the General Assembly
shall eventually discipline Briggs, there
are several other Presbyterian ministers
who can't conscientiously and with self
respect continue in the fold of the Pres
byterian denomination"

DENVER, May IA great throng of
people welcomed the President this
morning with shouts of welcome. The
city was beautifully decorated, and when
the train rolled in a national salute was
fired.
Senators Wolcott and Teller were first
to welcome the President. Then came
the Governor of Colorado. The party
quickly entered carriages and the pro-
cession started. 1t consisted of United
States troops, Colorado National Guard,
high school cadets and civic organiza-
tions. The procession traversed the prin-
clpal streets Of the city to the high school,
where speech-making occurred. There
were massed row after row of children,
and many ladies.
As the President passed the little folks
strewed flowers in his path, and raised a
shout which was kept up for some time.
The President made a brief speech to
the children, after which the procession
made its way to the Hotel Metropole,
where banquet had been prepared
Afterwards the procession reformed and
proceeded to stand at Lincoln Avenue,
where vast audience listened to speech
making.
Inc President made brief address, in
which he referred to the marvellous de-
velopment of Colorado, touched briefly
on the subject ofirrigation, and expressed
satisfaction and surprise with which he
had witnessed the magnificent CONNER
cial development made in Denver He
did not think any city so young can
claim so high place.
he also addressed himself briefly to the
q. A. K. comrades and thanked the citi-
zens heartily for the demonstration,
which he accepted as a spontaneous
tribute to American free institutions
While the speaking was going on the
ladies of the party were entertained at
Mrs. Governor Routt's, where recep-
ton was held.
AKRON Coli, May 12.-The President
and party passed through Akron, Colo
rado, over the Burlington road at 9:l5 to-
night. They are accompanied by George

Guard, and Colonel Griffith, U. S. A.,

REDWOOD CITY, May 12.-The fourth
trial of Llewellyn A. Powell for the kill
ing of Ralph S. Smith, editor of the Times
Gazette, over two years ago, began here
to-day. Judge w. g. Lorigan of San
Jose presided. Powell had two previous
trials in this county, which resulted in
disagreements. The case was then trans
ferred TO San Francisco at the request Of
the prosecution, and verdict Of man
slaughter secured. The Supreme Court
decided that the transfer was illegal, and
remanded the case back here for trial.
To-day out of venire of seventy-five
persons, all but seventeen were dis
charged for cause, and no peremptory
challenges have been given by either
side. 1t is probable that only two or
three jurors will be secured from this
panel.

y Noted OculfSt Attempts to Rid Him

NEW HAVEN, MAY l2.-The efforts of
DIR. William II. Hotchkiss, the famous
oculist, to legally rid himself of his young
and pretty wife, have caused big seam
dial in the State courts, and have been
happily defeated. In 1880 DR.. Hotchkiss,
whose family is wealthy and aristocratic,
went to Germany to consult famous
specialist. While there he met Gertrude
Won Blonhume, pretty little orphan,
and secretly married her. During the
year he resided abroad the two lived
happily together, but he returned home
alone, promising to send for her, but ar
irving here he noticed a wide difference
between the polished circles of his family
and friends and his uncultured wife and
decided to let her stay abroad. He con-
sequently, stopped all communication
with her, but the plucky little woman,
thinking something must have happened
to him, started out on his track She
traced him for three years, as he had
lived under an assumed name, and when
she found him she was so reioiced that
she was willing to seek employment as
teacher, satisfied to be near him even if
her relationship be not known. This
continued until recently, when the doc
tors prolonged visits aroused suspicious
of the teachers landlady, who went to
Mrs. Hotchkiss with the information.
and the latter lady confided to the former
the secret of the marriage in self-defense
The boarding-house keeper told the lady,
and it was soon all over the city. Mrs
Hotchlliss was terribly incensed, and, as
her son was compelled to acknowledge
the marriage, she made him institute q
suit for divorce on the ground of inconl-
patability and illegal ceremony. The
case was decided yesterday in favor of the
wife and the plea dismissed. The strange
feature now is that Mrs. Hotchkiss has
disappeared, no one knows where, and
some think evil has befallen her.

Tended himself vigorous ly. No cause is

WORK OF a FANATIC.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Japanese
Legation has received a dispatch in rela-
ton TO the attempt upon the life of the
CzarowitZ, which states that the Prince
was wounded on the head by a fanatic.
The attack was made at OtSu, a place

THE NATURE OF THE WOUNDS.
YOKOHAMA, May l2.-According to adj
vices received here in regard to the muir
derous attack made upon she Czarowitz,
the wounds are of a more serious nature
than at first supposed. Full particulars
as to the affair are anxiously expected
here. The utmost regret at the occur
currence is expressed in Government and
diplomatic circles.
dispatch from Shanghai says the
Czarowitch had gone to q picturesque
resort known as Otsu on Lake Biwaumi,
six miles from Kioto. There native
policeman named Tsuda Sanzo struck the
Czarowitch on the head with sword
with intent to murder him, but owing to
the toughness and thickness of the Czaro-
wltch'S sun helmet the wound inflicted
was not very serious. 1t is believed the
culprit is insane or brooding over fancied
wrongs, and was tempted to commit the
deed by the presence of the illustrious
guest. The Emperor and Ministers
hurried to kioto to express concern and
sympathy.

Britain, are to be continued if American
cattle are allowed to be slaughtered in bond
ence to the proposed meat company's
