A EOT'a East of SixiY-fiyc DAYS.

James Still. negro boy. who is an inmate of
the Jamesbu-S, y. j., reform school, Is GER
tainly the most wonderful faster on record
He has reached the sixty-ffih day of his fast
and there ia apparently no change what
ever in his condition. He is if anything
heavier in weight than he was two weeks ago
and seems to grow stronger a. time goes on.
The only nouri- hment that he takes is n SPOON
full of sweet oil. which is rubbed into his BODY
from head TO foot twice q day. The oil is ap-
piled regularly as the clock goes round and
II his attendant negiects to apply the oil ON
time James feels the same if healthy boy
had been kept from his dinner. James thought
not long ago a little food would taste good and
he asked the school physician to give HIM some
thing to start ON. Milk prepared for him.
but he had no sooner swallowed a few drops OF
the liquid than he began to reject it. He was
next given crackers. broken into sweetened
water, but the stomach retained this food no
better. Although James weighed only seventy
pounds when admitted to the hospital at the
school. II Is now said that he weighs 1870 pounds.
His case IL certainly most wonderful one, and
there is great difference OF opinion among
doctors as TO how the boy keeps up his strength
on the mere application of small amount OF
oil TO his BODY dailv

PROF. SMITH GUILTY.
Convicted by Close Vote of Heretical
Teachings.

The Cincinnati presbytery voted yesterday
afternoon-33 to 20-to sustain the second
charge and specifications against Prof. II. p.
Smith OF Lane Seminary, and 80 to 26 to sus-
tain the third charge and specifications. The
vote on charge one was also given out. 1t
stood 81 TO 81 in favor of the accused.
A committee, consisting of Drs. James.
Richie and Maxwell and Elders Spraull and
Endaly, three majority and two minority men,
bers, was appointed to fix the penalty and re-
port to presbytery this morning.
The second and third charges on which Prof.
Henry p. Smith found guilty pertain to
his views on inspiration. The second charge
was that he taught contrary to the fundamental
doctrine of the word of God and of the con-
fession of faith that the Holy Spirit did not SO
control the inspiration Of writer's in their COM
position OF the Holy Scriptures to make their
utterances wholly and absolutely truthful, l. e.,
free from error when interpreted in their natu-
raj and intended sense. The third charge ac-
cused him of teaching an inspiration of the
Scriptures in sense different from that taught
by the Scriptures themselves and by the con-
fession Of faith.
In view of the close vote it is surmised that
the penalty of accommodation will not be
recommended, and possibly not more than an
admOniton.

THE ELECTION IN KANSAS.
A Question as to the Position Of the Weav
Electors.

Question ~ to the Position Of the Weave,
Electors.
There is q serious question as to whether the
Weaver electors have been legally chosen in
Kansas. The ballots cast by democrats were
headed: Democratic Ticket-For President,
Grover Cleveland; for Vice President, Adlai Z.
Stevenson
Although the peoples party electors follow
the above caption on their vote, it is claimed
that it Ia not legal one for Gen. Weaver, az
the democrats who cast the ballot instructed
the electors to vote in the electoral college for
Cleveland and Stevenson. II there were 20. 900
such votes cast, as is claimed. the question is,
should the electoral vote of Kansas be counted
for Weaver? If it does not legally belong to
Weaver, then the republican electors for Kan
sas have the right to give the states vote to
Harrison. The democratic fusionists held q
convention, adopted platform, and, as demo-
Gratis, formally nominated the electors which
appeared upon the democratic ticket and had
Cleveland tickets been more numerous than
those bearing Weavers name, there is no ques-
ton but the electoral vote would have been
claimed for Cleveland. While the decision Of
this case will not affect the result Of the gem
eral election it will be thrown into the courts
for final settlement.
The populist leaders were interviewed con-
corning the statement that the 10000 demo-
cratic votes cast for the Weaver electors cannot
be counted for Weaver because the democratic
ticket containing the names of Weaver electors
was headed Democratic ticket" The popu-
lists FAY that the only way now that the vote
can be canvassed by which the electors can be
prevented from casting their votes for Weaver
is by a court order restraining them from SO
casting the vote.
In the first place. the voters do not instruct
the electors as to whom they are to support for
the presidency.
Moreover. the electors were no more peoples
party than they were democratic. The peoples
party ticket was not Endorsed by the demo-
cratic convention; it was nominated by it.
There is neither law nor reason in the PROPOSE
ton that the vote of fusion democrat who
voted ticket headed Democratic" should not
go to Weaver. 1t must go to the electors who
were nominated by the democratic party, and
the electors do the rest

The Fight Was to a Finish and the Men Have
Lost All.

The fight between labor and capital In New
Orleans was to- finish, as predicted. and the
victory of the employers is becoming more
sweeping every day. The amalgamated coun-
ell, which conducted the general strike, ia so
weakened that it will hardly survive its defeat
The Knights Of Labor withdrew early in the
fight and refused to countenance the general
strike, leaving the bodies belonging to the
American Federation of Labor alone in their
glory. Now these DESERVING the council.
The bakers led of and have Withdrawn from
the general body, preserving their separate or
ganizstion- II is now stated that the car
drivers. the virtual foundation Of the council,
will follow the example in January. The car
drivers. after winning their strike, made a con-
tract for year, but when the order for gen.
eral strike given the drivers broke their
contract and went out with the rest. Under the
settlement the drivers were compelled to go
back as an independent body, and some OF the
old drivers have not yet obtained their old
places. so that the drivers lost all they had
gained by their own strike.

IT WILL HURT THE BIG FAIR,
Action of London Steamship Men on Accour
of LINN ~ inn Ren,llations

Action of London Steamship Men on Account
of Immigration Regulations.
Mr.. Peters, secretary of the North Atlantic
Steamship Association, has sent to the London
press telegram stating that in view OF the
American regulations in regard to immigrants
the association. at an extraordinary meeting
held yesterday, decided to carry on its vessels
only saloon and second-class passengers from
January 1.
1t was also decided to reduce materially the
number of sailings during 1898. and to raise
the saloon and second cabin rates in order to
make up the loss that will be incurred through
abandoning tho steerage traffic. All special
excursion rates to the Chicago Columbian ex-
hlbition have been withdrawn by the associa-
ton, and there is no doubt this action will re-
suit in a large falling off in the number of for
eign visitors to the worlds fair. Many of the
parties that were being made up to take adj
vantage of the reduced rates that were expected
to prevail during the worlds fair season will
now be abandoned.

Silver Men at Brussels Comforting.


At its meeting yesterday the special COM
mittee Of the international monetary confer
ence at Brussels discussed at length the
proposals Of G. F. Tietgen, Danish delegate
N. Allard, Belgisn delegate, and Sir William
Houldsworth, English delegate.
The majority of the committee objected to
Sir William Houldsworth's proposals for q
bimetallic union Of the nations, with these
conditions:
That their mints should receive silver bullion,
in not less quantity than q fixed minimum
against receipts, noting quality and value at q
price determined by international agreement
and that these receipts circulate "a money and
be redeemable at the.bearers' demand.
The objections to this plan were that it meant
the creation of new legal tender. based upon
silver, which the public would hasten tc
abandon If silver continued to fall and would
hasten to have redeemed with bullion il silver
rose.
N. DeFouville, French delegate. moved an
amendment to the plan to the effect that inter.
national legislation be made to facilitate the
deposits Of silver and the exchange Of certif-
Gates, which would then be negotiable in the
same manner - commercial warrants.
The committee adjourned without taking any
action.
