ANARCHISTS SHOT DEAD.
Six Pals Of PallaS Executed at Bar
CelOna.

The Fa.al 'voueys Fired by the
Troops at O'clock in the Morning.
Mir the Only One of the Six to Give
Vent to Anarchist Shouts-Codina
and Villarubia Resist the Attempts
of the Troops to Bind Them.
Barcelona, May 2l.-The anarchists.
Codina, Cerezuela Sogas, Bernat, Villa
rubia and Mir, who were condemned to
death for completely in the attempt Of
Pallas to assassinate Gen. Martinez de
Campos, were put to death at 4 o'clock
this morning. Although the execution
was public, there were few spectators,
except the strong force of military,
which had been ordered to be present as
a precaution against disorder.
The absence of spectators was due to
an announcement that the execution
would take place later in the day The
troops formed three sides of a square
from the wall of Mont Juich, where the
pinioned convicts were placed
The priests connected with the prison
chapel remained with the prisoners until
the end, though no attention whatever
was paid by the anarchists TO their ex-
hOrtations.
Cef6LQela, SOgdS, and COdlna remained
silent throughout, but Mir, from the mo-
ment he appeared in the square, shouted !:
Long live revolution" etc.
When the firing party was formed the
prisoners were made to kneel and the
priests retired. Nillarubia shouted
'murderers, await our revenge" and
Bernat cried, death to inquisition"
THE FATAL voLLEYs.
The platoon fired from a distance of
three meters. The convicts had their
backs turned toward the troops. and their
eyes were bandaged with handkerchiefs.
Codina and Villarubia resisted the
attempts of the troops to blindfold them,
and called upon the onloOkers for help
The guards were obliged to use force to
compel them to get upon their knees
SOgas and Codina were still kneeling
after the volley was fired, and were
struggling to get upon their feet when
they received the second shot, which
stretched them beside their companions
The bodies We're placed in plain wooden
cOffins and buried inside the fort. Later
in the day thousands of persons ascended
Mount Juich in expectation of seeing the
execution.
The event deeply affected the anarchist
prisoners who are confined on board the
warship Navarro.

SOUTHERN PREsBYrERI IANs.
A Resolution Pertinent to the Breck.
inridRe Case.


Nashville, Tenn, May 21.-In the
morning session Of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church, south, to-day
an overture was received from the Pres
bytery of North Alabama to select COM
mittee TO confer with committee repre-
senting the northern assembly with or
ganio union in view.
The committee on foreign correspond
ence presented its report on the overture
from the Presbytery Of North Carolina,
asking that committee be appointed TO
negotiate with view TO closer relations
with the Reformed church. The COM
mittee recommended the adoption of reso-
lutions expressing the readiness of the
general assembly to renew negotiations in
any form agreeable to the assembly of the
Reformed church. The resolution was
adopted.
Rev. w. II. Woods offered resolution,
which, while not referring to the Breck-
inridge case especially, states that the
assembly reaffirms, as 1t has always done,
that "sins against the seventh command
ment cannot be tolerated in our member
ship, and we assert our adherence and
condemnation Of such sins and consider
the commission of this sin an injury to
churches, to society and to the state"
A vote on a motion to lay the resolution
The resolution was then referred.
THE SADIE MEANS CASE.
The afternoon session was well attended
and many visitors were present, as the
case of Miss Sadie Means was to be called
up for consideration. First, the assembly
took up the consideration of the next
meeting place Richmond, Va, and Dali
las, Tex. were the applicants. The as
sembly, by vote, decided TO hold the
next meeting at Dallas.
The committee TO whom was referred
the report from thei synod of South Caro-
lima in the case of Miss Means, charged
with violation of the church law by
working in a telephone exchange on Sun
day, and who was found guilty by the
Presbytery of Charleston, reported
that there was enough in the case 20 war
rant consideration by the general as
sembly, and that the papers made out
case of complaint rather than appeal.
Some discussion was had, and it was
agreed to leave the matter to the
vote OF the general assembly with
out further report, and the
case was docketed until tomorrow,
when arguments will be heard. At the
night session the committee on organic
union with the Northern Presbyterian
church reported In favor of rejecting the
overture made by that church. The con-
sideration Of the report Is set for to-mor-
row.
The remainder of the evening session
was devoted to reports from foreign mis-
sionaries and discussing the same and
general talks on missionary matters by
prominent speakers.

OATES SURE TO Be PUT UP.
Delegates 10 the Convention Arriving
at Montgomery.

Tho state Committee Meets and Sc
leots Oates Friend Clark for Tenn
porary Chairman of the Convention.
A Rumor That Johnston VIII Make
Fight for the Temporary organi-
cation on the Floor - Three Com
tests Before the State Committee.
Montgomery, Ala, May 2l.-The dele
gates to the democratic state convention
have been coming all day So far there
is nothing to indicate any change from
the figures heretofore sent out, of 272
delegates for the nomination of Oates for
governor, and 232 for Johnston.
Tho state committee met this morning.
Congressman Clark, of the Mobile dis
trict, was selected for temporary chair
man. He made a warm canvass for Col.
Oates. In the extra session of congress
he voted with Col. Oates for repeal OF
the Sherman law, and is an ac-
knowledged friend of the Cleveland adj
ministration In the committee there
was no opposition to his selection. The
vote of the committee present is about II
for Oates and II for Johnston.
RUMoRs OF A FIGHT.
There is n rumor that the Johnston
men will make fight for the temporary
organization on the floor Of the conven-
tion by nominating one Of their number
for temporary chairman. This rumor
has not been authenticated, and while
talked about, the effort will hardly be
made
The state committee, which has to
agree upon the roll of delegates, has three
contests before it. None have been de-
cided. The one from Lee will probably
stand as it is, with the Oates delegation
confirmed in their right to seats. There
is no outgiving from the committee, but
there seems to be an impression that the
contest from Colbert by the Oates men is
not a strong one.
THE HALE COUNTY CONTEST.
In Hale county there are a great many
Irregularities alleged and the Oates dele
gates are presenting their case on d strong
line. II is more than probable, however,
that the other delegation will be allowed
to retain their seats. This decision by
the committee would not change figure.
The two candidates in strength would
remain as they are. Mr.. Oates could
lose Lee, and thus give his opponent every
contested delegate, and stillhave decided
majority. There does not seem to be a
possibility of his defeat. The committee
is not likely to come to an agreement until
q very late hour tonight and possibly not
uIyl morning.
The convention meets at 12 o'clock to-
morrow.
The committee heard arguments in the
contested cases until - o'clock, and
then adjourned without action until 8
O'Clock tomorrow morning.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Prices of Stocks Still Inclined to
Droop.
RUMORS ABOUT A TRUST COMPANY.
They Start a Selling Movement ia
Wall Street.


Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-The opening Of to-
days stock market was irregular within a
radius of IL per cent OF last weeks closing
prices. London was weak and sold St.
Paul and Nashville on this side.
The weakness abroad, coupled with a
rumor Affecting the standing of one of the
local trust companies, started selling
movement by room traders, which, with
the cooperation of some of the leading
bear operators, successfully depressed val
ues.
A further reduction of Ia per cent in
the price of refined sugar, making a total of
1-2 per cent within a week, resulted in ga
per cent reduction in the price Of the stock
of that company. The decline was aided
throughout the day by prices reaching
stop list limits and considerable long
stock was shaken out in consequence.
The market. with few unimportant ex-
ceptions. was mere duplication of the
narrow and strictly professional trading
that has of late characterized the daily ses-
sfons of the exchange. The grangers were
freely sold by traders on additional evil
dences of their inability to show any ma
terial Improvement in earnings during the
next few months. st. Paul declined 1 3-s
per cent, TO 50; Burlington lost L Ia pc:

on foreign selling and opened at a reduction
of IA per cent. but steadied up somewhat

land touched low-water mark at 1-2, q net
decline of So per cent and Atchison lost

The industrials were all weak. General
Electric selling down I per cent. to 81 l-2
Distillers. 2 per cent, to 20 1-2, and Chicago
Gas. Is per cent. to GO 3-S
Sterling exchange was weak, owing to an
increase in the supply of bankers bills. but
the volume of business continues light.
Money rates are unchanged and borrow
ers show no disposition to take advantage
Of the present low interest rate. while the
effect Of new legislative measures is still in
doubt.

Traders continued their tactics during the
last hour, and. aided by some disturbing
rumors from the west, succeeded in mark

day.

Let those who are haunted with suspic-

of the necessity for caution in the prog

His intended father in-law came to him

you must go and get your life insured"

He went home and the match was broken
off. He wrote to the committee saying
that. as he had mortal disease of the
heart and could not live for six months, he
withdrew his application for rooms wherein
