Wellington delegates to the Frederick con-

opposing Wellington's nomination, declar-
Ing that he had gained two districts by
fraud. and that 1t was contrary to custom
to nominate a defeated candidate.
The chairman decided to put the other
resolutions, whereupon the Pearre men
withdrew. while shouts filled the air. The
convention then adopted the Wellington
resolution.
The Pearre delegates went down town

BEHIND BARS
Guards Doubled and Close Watch
Kept Of Him.
BE has GIVEN His word OF honor
The Marshal Thinks He Meditates
Escape.
HE VAINLY EXPOSTULATES

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 31.-Unit-
ed States Marshal Barry Baldwin has made
up his mind that Gen. Antonio Ezeta has
planned to escape He has doubled the
guards around. has himself cooped in a
room in his hotel, where he Is denied to
visitors. the doors are locked and the win
dows barred. No condemned felon was ever
more closely guarded.
When Gen. Ezeta was first placed In the
custody Of the marshal it was understood
on all sides that he was to be courteously
treated as became one Of his prominence,
and while a careful surveillance was to be
kept and no chance left of escape. all eff
forts should be made to make the pris-
oner as comfortable as possible.
With this understanding. the general and
his companions were allowed to take rooms
at the California Hotel at their expense.
being guarded constantly. however, by two
deputies. He was notified in a general way
that he would be allowed the liberty Of the
corridor on the sixth floor under the watch
full eye Of a deputy.
This was. Of course, with the idea of CIV
Ing him a char ce to exercise. On his own
part and fer his companions Gen. Ezeta
gave bis parole Of honor as a soldier and a
gentleman that no effort would be made to
escape. This arrangement went along with
out a clash. Several times during the first
few days the general took short walks on
the streets ard got some sort of a glimpse
at life in San Francisco.
Now the general has been notified that he
will be required to keep himself closely to
loom 81, being allowed to leave 1t only at
meal times. There is to be no more exercfs-
ing In the corridors and no more strolls on
the streets, even in the care of deputies He
explained that he thought this rather a
peculiar order considering that his word as
a soldier had been given that no attempt
would be made to escape.
His attorney expostulated in the same
vein. but to no avail and to room 62 the
general has since been confined. An extra
guard has been placed inside with him. the
door Is locked on the outside and another
deputy placed there to see to 1t that no at
tempt Is made to sortie through that.

AGAINST COL. BRECKINRIDGE.
Elder McGarvey Says Good Poop
Have No Excuse for Re.Electing Hill

Elder McGarvey Says Good People
Have No Excuse for Re-Electing Him.
Elder McGarvey. an instructor on theo-
logical subjects in the Bible College Of
Kentucky University, and a leader in the
Christian Church Of the South, has again
taken up the cudgel against Col Breckin-
ridge, using Evangelist Barnes sermon Of
Sunday night as his text. Elder McGarvey
has come out in a letter denouncing Barnes
as q religious mountebank. He holds up
Barnes as a man who has at various times
pretended to have received sanctif1cation,
the power to heal by anointment and the
power to absolve the sins of those con-
Tossing to him. After these humbugs were
played out Evangelist Barnes pretended
that the Lord watched over him, even to
the extent of keeping his organ in tune.
while 1t was being jolted over mountain
reads from one meeting to another, and as
an evidence of his faith he threw away his
spectacles and trusted to the Lord to see
without them. Mr.. McGarvey says: 7i'
This experiment did not last long. He
proclaimed that he then had faith enough
to heal the sick. and that he would soon
have enough to raise the dead. After some
years of very varied career in Kentucky
he went to India, and while there he had q
revelation from the Lord to the effect that
the English people are the twelve lost tribes
Of Israel. and that Queen Victoria is the
head of the true church. He Immediately
ODtalneQ membership In the Episcopal
church. but that church, like the Presby-
terrain, refused to indorse his heresies by
putting him into the ministry"
The caustic letter concludes with a dis
cussion Of biblical parallels, upon which
Evangelist Barnes and others have attempt
ed to excuse Col. Breckinridge's shortcom-
ihgs, the closing paragraph being as follows:
Let 1t be known once and for ever that
there Is nothing in Gods Holy Book to ex-
tenuate the awful crimes proven against
Breckenridge. and nothing to furnish an ex-
cuse to good people for seeking to re-elect
him."
Trouble Expected mt Lexinrton.
A lively time is expected at Lexington
KY. tonight, when Judge ]. r. Morton.
who was strongly attacked by Col. Breck-
inridge at Athens on Monday, will reply.
The Breckenridge men have decided to de-
mand a division of time, and this will be
denied them. They will probably attempt
to answer Judge Morton anyhow, and If
such an attempt is made serious trouble
may be expected. A strong Owens man
said last night that II there should be any
attempt to interrupt Judge Morton I'VE
will throw the interrupters through the
windows
The betting at Lexington Is 600 to 500 on
Owens, with no takers.

THE SENATE AGAINST HIM
The New York Postmasters Not Likely to
Be Confirmed.
Senators Will Stand by Hill and
Murphy With q Desire to Strike
Back MT Cleveland.

The denomination by Mr.. Cleveland Of a
large number of presidential postmasters
who were not confirr ed by the Senate and
the nominations Of new men, chiefly in
New York, but also in other parts Of the
country, will probably be but for briet
term Of service. From the present temper
Of democratic Senators 1t is warrantable to
assume that none, or next to none, will be
confirmed at the next session Of the Senate
The war between the admir- istration ana
the Senate on the opening Of Congress will
be much more open and incorporating
than heretofore. 1t has been possible for
the President to accomplish something in
the Senate heretofore by combinations and
the uniting Of democratic votes with re-
publican to secure combinations, and once
in while to accomplish something else
desired by the administration. In other
words. the antagonism has been between in
dividual Senators and the administration.
The Whole Senate Against Him.
Now 1t Is the whole Senate against the
administration, with not half a dozen in
the body ready to take up Mr.. Cleveland's
fight. The democratic Senators stand by
Mr.. German as a matter Of habit, and be-
cause they feel 1t to be a matter Of self
defense to hold solid front against any
encroachment by the executive. Moreover.

ton shall not be confirmed. German win.

courtesy will require his democratic COL

AN EXCITED DETECTIVE.

charges were, In effect. that the two officers

they had Disseminated in favor Of certain

received money for granting this privilege
and that proper penalties had been waived
in several cases. The investigation, so far
as 1t has progressed, shows that while the
two men may have INDUCED in irregular
practices. they were in no way guilty of in

CAMPANIA's NEW RECORD.

The Time for the Eastern Trans
atlantic Passage Cut 1 hr. and 2Om.
LONDON, August 81.-The Cunard line
steamer Campania, which sailed from New
York on August 25 last, arrived at Queens
town today, bringing with her another new
transatlantic record Of speed. She passed
Daunt's Rock at 5:34 am, having made the
passage to that point in five days ten hours
and forty-seven minutes. Heretofore the
eastward record has been five days twelve
hours and seven minutes, made in Novem-
her, 1893. by the Campania.
The passage Just ended today, therefore,
reduces the time by one hour and twenty
minutes. The Campania experienced dense
fog on the banks for nine hours, and was
forced to run at a greatly reduced speed.
1t Is calculated that not less than sixty
miles were lost owing to these unfavorable
circumstances.
According to her log. the big steamer
best run was up to noon August 20 46d
knots. and daily thereafter 454. oil. 5O6
and 1896 knots to Daunt's Rock. The average
speed attained was 21.5O knots. which has
only twice been beaten, on both occasions
by the Lucania, when, in March of this
year. she covered 21.74 knots, and in June
Of this year. when the average was 21.s9.
