Many, he says will decline to vote at

trade and surrender as the so-called

favor of joining with the republicans,
who at least have the courage of their
convictions. Judge Bennett declares
that the democrats would have carried

issues, but having abandoned their ground
and surrendered their principles they
should not and will not succeed in this

CREED OF CALVIN.
Presbyterians Postpone Revision and Con-
slider the Confession of Faith.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 23.-In the
Presbyterian Assembly today, the COM
mittee on bills and overtures reported it
was not considered wise, in view of the
present agitation in the church, to pro-
ceed Immediately with the preparation
of shorter creed. This shelves the mat
ter for another year.
The final report of the committee on
the revision of the confession of faith
was presented. None of the changes
proposed impair the integrity of the Cal
whistle system of confession. The ac-
ton proposed by the committee consists
of % oyertures, each covering changes
proposed to the confession. The report
says: ut has been impossible to meet
the individual preference of every pres
betery without setti ng aside what are
known to be the views of large maiori-
ty of the church. There was an effort
made to see harmony at any sacrifice.
The division into % sections will enable
the church to approve single alteration
without endangering the whole reyis-
ion." The report is signed uncondition-
ally by II members of the committee and
with exceptions by 12 members. Among
the 2S changes in the confession points
covered are: The divine DEGREES, pre-
terition, the creation, the covenant. a
new chapter of the Holy Spirit, mans
fall and new chapters on the gospel of
predestination, effectual CALL infant sal
vation, non-election and the Lords Sup
per. The report went over as unfinished
business.

CROPS HoPELEssLY DROWNED.
Railroad Traffic Stopded and Towns Unde
Water-The Outlook in Arkansas.

TExARKANA. Ark, May 23.--All traffic
over the Iron Mountain road north has
been indefinitely cut off. The Red river
is still rising, and several miles of the
railroad track have been washed away.
The town of Homan, IA miles north of
here, is several feet under water. In
fact. the whole of the Red river bottom
is veritable sea of water from hill to
hill, distance of about 20 miles. The
bridge at Fulton still stands, and it is be-
lieved will succeed in weathering the
storm, as driftwood has about ceased to
come down. On the cotton belt all
trains between here and Pine Bluffs are
running on time; it's tracks are also be-
ing used by the Iron Mountain. Parties
in from the edge of the bottoms report
the water rising at the rate of about an
inch per hour. The water is far above
the highest water mark of 1890, and all
crop prospects are hopelessly drowned.
The only thought now is given to the
sa wing iof the three railroad bridges of
the Iron Mountain, Cotton Belt and Tex
arkana and Fort Smith Roads.

EMBEzzLED 100000.
The Big Haul of the Manager of a For
eign Bank.

BERNE, May 23.-Herr Schenck, man
ager of the st. Gall branches of the Fed
eral Bank, has been arrested for embez-
zling the funds of the institution. The
amount has has taken is at least s, 1000, 900
francs, and probably 3,5o0,OOO. The en-
bezzlement has been in progress for sew
eral years. 1t was accomplished by
keeping false and incomplete records. 1t
is believed other officers of the bank
must have been in collusion with him.
His salary was 5000 francs, and he appar-
emily did not live beyond that. None of
the money was recovered. Schenck's S
embezzlement leaves the bank in sorry
plight. Since the beginning of 1891, the
total loss, including the sum taken by
Schenck, has been 100000 francs, and
the entire reserve Of the bank has been
sunk.

MILES WELL PLEASED,
The General Says the Bicyclists Showed
the Value of Their Silent Steeds.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-'It is an important
achievement said General Miles last
evening. He was speaking of the relay
riders and their stubborn fight through
the mud of five states. The fact that the
message did not arrive in New York
within schedule time was no surprise to
him. The trip was remarkable success,
said he. ''This experimental ride has
established the fact that the bicycle
would be of practical service in the army,
and it has also been of service in calling
attention to the wretched condition Of
the public highways in communities that
profess to be tolerably well civilized.
The matter of good roads should receive
more attention than it has been given.''

report was presented at the forenoon ses-
sion. Mr.. Courant has this to say on the
subject Of legislation desired:
ssAs we are aware, the coming wear will
find the legislature in session, and it
would be well to consider and deliberate
upon such measures that the wage-earn-
ers desire to introduce for legislative
consideration. I would recommend for
the consideration of the convention the
following laws that should receive atten-
tion by the legislators:
sFirst-An employers liability act, SO
that the life and limb of the wage-w work
er may be better secured from accident,
etc.
s'Second-Better protection to life and
limb of railroad employees.
s'Third-Shortening Of the hours of la
Dor of mill and factory employees to sd a
week.
Fourth age limit of employing
children should be raised from IL to ii
years.
"Fifth-A law making it criminal on
the part of an employer who prevents an
employe from becoming member of a
labor organization.
"Sixth-A law (without a loopholel
which will protect the labels and trade
marks of labor organizations from coun-
terfeiting.
aSeventh-Such state appropriation as
will insure the carrying on of the State
Department of Labor without being re-
tarded through lack of sufficient means.
'sEighth-A repeal of the so-called
conspiracy act, as the state statutes COW
er all points without super1uous and
special act known as the Intimidation
act."
Committees were appointed as follows:

Prayers in Ottumwa for the Cessation of
the Flood

Efayo1s Ah OCtuhWa IOr the cessation or
the Flood,
OTTUMwA, Iowa, May 23.-At Eddy
vile SO families have been driven from
their houses by the flood, and the entire
town is in imminent danger. When the
old ferry house went out it struck the
approach to the new wagon bridge now
in the process of erection and carried
away $50 feet of it, thus completely cut
ting off connections between the two
parts of the city, and with the swollen
condition of the stream it will be impos-
possible to repair the breach for several
days. In South Ottumwa the river is
rapidly cutting into the principal streets.
So desperate has become the condition
of the people in this city that yesterday
from every pulpit there went up prayers
for the cessation of the flood.
Fifty armed citizens cut the levee at
this point today to save their property
from the destruction which they Judged
would otherwise follow from the CON
tinually increasing flood. AS the cutting
was calculated to injure the property Of
the water company it was necessary to
carry out the work at the point of the
pistol, and this the determined citizens
etfos IC Slby Aldl olldl WAS dUpGdleu 10
by the company, but he was powerless.
The water company's superintendent
endeavored to check the men in their
work. but withdrew when revolver was
leveled at his head. The dixie was soon
opened in three places, allowing the
water to escape. Additional houses have
been swept away by the flood, and while
no human lives have been lost, several
cattle and horses were taken by the
waters.
Destitution Appalling.
PINE BLUFF. Ark.-The destitution
among the flood sufferers between Little
Rock and the mouth of the river is APP
paling. This city and rieInity are filed
with thousands of refugees. The cotton
crop all along the rls4sl is totally de-
stroyed. The governnleny boat c. B..
Reese arrived this evening from the up-
per river where she supplied 1900 half
famished people with provisions. Two
men were seen drowning by the crew.
The town of Auburn is flooded owing to
break in the Bunsen levee. A f1otilla
of government boats is continually on
the river bringing succor to victims Of
the flood. The river fell two inches to-
day.

CLEVELAND'S HEIR.
Illinois Democrats Think that Nor.
riSOn Is the Man.
HIS BOOM SEEMS TO BE DOING
WELL FOR A NEW ONE.

1t Is Said that After COMPLIMENTARY
Votes for Cleveland and Palmer, the
Illinois Delegation in the Convention
Will Vote Solidly for NIorrison-Then
the Solid South LIS Expected to Helm
Do the Rest.
CHICAGO, May 23.-Col. VIM. r. Nor
rison, chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and for many wears
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee of the Federal House, has sud-
denly forged to the front as a somewhat
formidable presidential candidate. The
new Democratic state committee met in
this city today and most of the Illinois
delegates to the national Democratic
convention and politicians from all
quarters Of the state, assembled. The
4S delegates from Illinois are instructed
to vote as a unit in the national conven-
ton and recommended to favor the
nomination of Senator Palmer in case it
should be deemed expedient to come
West for a candidate. It now appears
certain that Col. Morrison and not Sena-
tor Palmer is the choice of a decided
majority of the Illinois delegates, and
that, after primary ballot for Cleve-
land and a complimentary one for Palm
er, it is the intention of that majority to
throw the solid support of the 4S votes
of Illinois to Morrison. Under the unit
rule imposed by the state convention,
this can easily be done.
Col. Morrison himself was in the CITY
today and was busy during most of the
time receiving visitors and holding con
ferences with political leaders. TO the
press he maintained silence as to his
presidential prospects. His friends in
sisted that he would receive the support
of Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky.
and, indeed, nearly all the Solid South
whenever the Illinois delegation
should present his name to the national
convention. State Committeeman Brin-
ton, leader of the Morrison forces, said
tonight that Morrison was the inevitable
heir to the Cleveland vote whenever the
ex-President should appear impractica-
BILE. He said Morrison was the pioneer
in the great tariff reform movement. had

ways been right on all great public ques-
tions

NEW YORK, May 23.-At the Fifth Av-
enue Hotel, Mr.. Blaine received group
of reporters after his arrival this evening
He said the object of his visit was to
have an operation performed ON his eyes
and to see his little granddaughter. In
answ er to enquiries, Mr.. Blaine said he
was just as well as he looked, and added
that he did not believe he looked like a
confirmed invalid. The apparent readi-
ness of his invitation to the newspaper
fraternity was taken as evidence Of his
anxiety to show the public thet he was a
well man and able to bear the burdens of
presidential honors. When it became
generally known that he had granted an
audience to the press, every one accepted
it as an omen of acceptance on his part.
Consequently there was much jubilation
among the Republican politicians of
small and high degree about the hotel.

Chester Roberts's inheritance Again.

ALFRED, May 23.-In the civil suit
brought in behalf of Chester B. Roberts
against George w. Knights, the jury has
rendered a verdict of $780, 80, the amount
claimed with interest. Roberts is the
young man who some time ago became
famous as the victim of unscrupulous
fellow townsmen who had secured sew
eral thousand dollors which the young
man had inherited and which he was in
duced to let them draw from various
banks on his orders. Part of this money
was given by Roberts to Knights and was
made the basis of this suit. The other
money has been recovered.
