MORRISON.

The Inquirer says Blaine could carry
Massachusetts, next year, and probably
Harrison or Major Mckinley could do So
too. In New York, however, the result
must be looked upon as a defeat for presi-
dent Harrison, whose personal candidate
Mr. Fassett was.
The meaning of all this is that the New
York Republicans want Blaine for presl-
dent, and the figures show that he can
carry the state Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Nebraska will support either Mckinley,
Harrison or Blaine. The west, as shown
by Iowa, is still restive. There is one man
who can certainly recall every wandering
state. His name Is Blaine.

by a majority Of about 1900 on one Of the

election Of Republican majority of the

in Hamilton county, where it was expected
that Campbell would be laughtered. In
stead of that he has run from five to
twenty votes ahead OF his ticket In almost

His defeat is due to the heavy vote

Made q Startling Statement.

PITTsBURG, PA, June S.-The long
drawn out trial of the eleven ministers
and incidentally four sympathizers was
continued this afternoon with undated
vigor on both sides. Rev. E. M. Mill
gan, one of the accused spoke in his
own defense. He was followed by
Rev. Hugh w. Reed, the deposed
Youngstown minister. A protest
was made by several conserva-
tives that the defense must confine
themselves to answer charges and not
take up too much time. Mr.. Reed fin
ally did make a startling statement. He
said that the question of forming new
organization was discussed at the East
End meeting and that motion was
made to form such an organization,
which motion, he thought, was carried.
He heard from others thas it did not
crrry. Rev. w. L. c. Samson was next
heard, when the convention adjourned
till morning.

paper quotes Rev. Frank G. Tyrell,

of this city, as saying that all the signs
pointed to dissolution Of orthodox
Mr.. Tyrell, in sermonizing, pointed out
forcibly the discussions in regard to
matters of belief and faith which have
shaken the Protestant church from
thie drew conclusions that the
crceds are crumbling, and will, are
long disappear. He cannot he says,
accept the belief of the trinity OF Jesus,
and asked as to why he believed that
the Protestant creeds are falling, he
replied that one had but to notice how
the teachers of the Gospel are demand
ing the right to make their own deduc-
tions provided that they acknowledge
the divinity Of Christ. The effect OF
DR.. Tyrell's statement is as il bomb
shell had exploded in the midst of the
orthodox ministers, and everybody is
discussing the stand taken by the rever-
end gentlemen.

THE BARRUNDIA CASE AGAIN.

la the current United States ReUtelC
Mr.. w. r. BROOKS has an able article
on the killing of GcR. BARRUNDIA. He
deals with the legal aspect of the affair,
and undertakes 10 show that the sur
render of BARRUNDIA was in violation
of international law. He accuses the
United States naval officers who were in
the harbor and neglected to interfere.
OF failing of their duty.
General BARRUNDIA, it will 0e re-
membered, took passage at Mexican
port on the United States merchant
steamer Acapulco. When the Acapulco
arrived at San Jose, Guatemala, the
authorities demanded the surrender of
BARRUNDIA, who was a citizen of Qua
temala and accused of treason. The
captain refused to give him up, but
finally, receiving from Mr.. MINER, the
United States Minister at Guatemala.
ian order OF arrest" the captain agreed
to deliver up his passenger, and in re-
sisting the arrest BARRUNDIA was
killed.
Mr.. BROOKS says, first, that q ship is
considered 10 be part of the country to
which it belongs, and therefore subject,
with all on board, TO its jurisdiction
alone. This. without doubt, is true of
ships of war under all circumstances,
and il is true Of merchant ships on the
high seas. But when a merchant ship
is lying in a foreign port it becomes sub
iect to the law of the port. Mr.. Brooks
asserts that this foreign Jurisdiction at
taches only in ''the cases of the COM
mission OF felonieS by the officers and
crew of the vessel while lying in a for
eign port, or of any unlawful acts done
by such vessel or Of contracts entered
into" at the foreign port. But the ex-
ceptions, according to the authorities,
are by no means so restricted. The
principle involved is thus stated by
POMEROY:
By the general international law, where
this is not changed by the local municipal
system or by treaty when merchant ship
is within foreign port it is entirely sub
iect TO the police jurisdiction and the crimi-
nal and correctional jurisdiction of the
State within whose waters it is lying
and in executing their right of
Jurisdiction the local authorities may come
on board and work such seizures, searches,
arrests and examinations, both of offenders
aud witnesses. rs may be n accordance
