To HELLO Across THE CoNrINENT.-The
longest telephone circuit in the world is now
projected by the Automatic Telephone and
Electric Company of Canada, which intends
to lay line of copper wires on the metallic
circuit plan from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to
Vancouver This is distance of 3, 500 miles.
Copper is by far the best conductor, and cleo
tricians have SO far advanced their methods
that they can calculate to nicely what is re-
ouired. The circuit will be, of course, in Sec
tions, and be available for communication to
many intermediate points. 1t is great and
wonderful experiment, which the scientific
world will watch with intense interest. fit
proves a success there seems to be no good
reason why the instrument cannot be used to
transmit speech across the widest oceans

Ar THE examination of a foreigner

At THE examination of a foreigner
in New York last "Wednesday on the
charge of conspiring to blow up fac
tory in which he was employed, but
the management of which did not suit
him, fellow conspirator turned States
evidence, and testified that he, the
prisoner and thirty-three other anarch-
lists had gone to the crowded May labor
meeting at Union Square last year, all
armed with dynamite bombs, which
they would have exploded if the police
had attempted to interfere. And yet
these men come here freely and are adj
mitted to all the immunities and privi-
leges of the natives. They show their
gratitude for that favor by such reckless
and diabolical attempts as those refer
red to. And, strangest of all, is the
fact that the demagogues in Congress
pander to them, by opposing treaties
which provide for the rendition of such
men to the countries from which they
have fled to escape punishment for
their murderous crimes.

Presbyterian General Assembly.

Presbyterian General Assembly.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Tbe annual
report of the various church boards
made public to-day and to be taken up
by the assembly from time TO time,
show encouraging results in every
branch of the work. The report of
the committee on temperance does not
regard local option rs the best and ul-
innate solution of the liquor problem,
but the most of the prcsbyteries have
favored it as a stepping-stone toward
general prohibition. Among all the re-
ports of presbyteries the license sys-
tenn has no advocate or apologist. The
report of board of foreign mission dis
plays satisfactory condition ofaffairs.
The devotional exercises with which
were opened the second days session
of the assembly, were conducted by
Rev. DR.. Smith, of Baltimore. Rev.
Mr.. McCauley, of Dayton, o., moved a
reconsideration of the vote of yesterday
on the Worlds Fair Sunday opening,
which was refused. DR.. Harsha, OF
Nebraska, moved the appointment Of
a committee to formulate an express
sion of opinion upon the Chinese exclu-
sion act, as it affects the foreign mis-
sionary work. With one vote in the
negative the motion was adopted. The
moderator subsequently announced the
standing committees. Rev. VIM. Hen
ry Roberts was announced to be vice
moderator. The assembly then took q
recess until $50 p. m.

Mr.. G.. A. SALA, in the London
Times. SAYS : "Let it be, however, dis
tinctlv understood that in the field and
in camp the Union army, which, as l
have previously said, was eventually a
million strong, was, so far as the rank
and file were concerned, wholly and
completely a teetotal army" And
this is history. The Union army, ac-
cording to the rolls now in the War
Department at Washington, was event
uallv' three million strong; but, numer-
GUS as it was, no man in or out oft ever
before heard that it was wholly and
completely teetotal army" According
to the personal knowledge of the writ
er of this article, many of its members
were in anything else than teetotal
condition at the time they were wound
ed or made prisoners.

Mr.. NoRDHoFF, in his latest dispatch
from Honolulu to the New York Herald,
saws The plain truth is that the an
nexation movement was to some extent
engineered by men who are not citizens,
aided and encouraged by the American
Minister, who consulted with them ana
furnished United States troops, without
which the leaders were helpless, TO up
set the constitutional government TO
which he was accredited" And yet
the minister referred to was requested
bv his government to remain longer at
Honolulu, will come home voluntarily,
and when he returns will be received
with ovations. If he had been the min
lister of any other country in the world,
he would have been recalled and
brought back under arrest as soon as
intelligence of his actions was received,
and been so severely punished that no
other minister would have ever dared
to follow his example.

The State Committee.

The Virginia democratic executive
committee met in Richmond last night
and selected Richmond as the place
and August II rs the date for holding
the convention to nominate q State
ticket.
The only competitors for the conven-
ton were Richmond and Norfolk city.
The claims of these cities were ably
represented before the committee. The
vote stood: Richmond, 10; Norfolk II.
The meeting was more largely at
tended than any gathering of that body
for some years past.
Mr.. Basil B. Gordon, the chairman,
presided.
The committee decided that the basis
of representation to the convention
shall be one delegate to every 100
votes and one delegate for each frac-
ton thereofin excess so cast forCleve-
land at the last presidential election.
That vote was 1897, which on the
basis agreed upon last night will give q
convention of about 1,640 members.
This will be body about as large as
that which assembled there last May
to elect delegates to the Chicago con-
vention and which was found so I'M
wieldy.
An hour or more Of the committees
time was occupied III discussing prop
osition to prohibit members from send
ing proxies to persons other than rep
resentatives of their own congressional
districts. 1t was finally agreed to by q
decisive vote.

In ALL the cities and towns of Cana
da now, bell is rung at nine o'clock at
night, and all persons under seventeen
years of age found on the streets after
that hour are arrested and locked up
in the station house unless they give
satisfactory explanations. This is done
by an old law which has just been re-
vived. The minds experience will
come at length, and time proves that
old things are the best. The operation
of such a law in this country would
have kept many a girl and boy from
"going to the bad" and would keep
many more from going there.

THE State democratic committee has
determined that the next State demo
cratic convention shall be disorderly
mob instead of deliberative body, by
providing that it shall be composed OF
sixteen hundred and forty delegates;
and also that it shall meet as early as
the middle of August, so that the cam
paign shall be nearly three months
long, though the national campaign
closed only six months ago. But some
people like political excitement, ifoth-
ers do not.

DID NOT WANT A Hot BREAKFAST.
There was a marriage in town last
Monday at the residence of one of our
ministers. After the ceremony the
newly married couple repaired to their
residence, and were quietly seated in
the house, when lot of young men
and youths, bent on fun, thought they
would give the bride and groom Gala
thumpian serenade. Supplying them
selves with a full stock of tin pans and
other "instruments" calculated to make
life miserable, the crowd of serenaders
repaired to the home of the couple and
commenced their music.
They had not discoursed the sweet
strains" for many minutes before the
groom appeared at the door of his
house and informed the musicians"
that they must desist, or there would
be trouble. "For," said he, "the doctors
and the corporation officials say l am
crazy, and therefore not responsible for
what do, and if you do not leave i'm
mediately some of you will be apt to
eat your breakfast in sheol."
The determined face of the speaker
and the sight of a gun inside the house
gave rather ugly look to the affair,
and the serenaders concluded they did
not want hot breakfast, and quickly
