The Supreme CoAncii Begins Its Session
at milwaukee,.
9 MILWAUKEE, May S.-The seventh an
nual session of the American Protective
Association began to-day in Liberty Hail.
The delegates numbered in the vicinity
of 400, and the greatest interest seems to
prevail. From what can be learned of
the problems which are vexing the dele
gates it is probable that the session will
be a very important one.
The order is semi-political, and it has
exerted its influence in conventions and
at the baliot-boX. Some OF its mem bers
favor coalition with any of the existing
political parties which will come out
openly and advocate the principles of the
American Protective Association. An
other faction would have separate polil-
ical party on strictly American Protect
i've Association platform. Still another
wing of the Association favors publicity,
and would do away with ali secret work.
1t is also limited That the free silver ques-
ton may cut figure during the session.
From this it will be seen that unless the
leaders are exceedingly judcious there
Will De made breaches to repair. The
opinion seems to prevail that the separate
party proposition will not succeed, but
nothing definite can DE learned at this
time as to the other moo.ed questions.
Probably the most important step to be
taken by the association will be the adop
tion of All international constitution and
declaration of principles. and the extern.
sion OF the order 10 all parts of the world,
creating thereby what will be known as
tkse Supreme Council of the World. This
question has been under consideration
tor some time, and the report OF a special
committee of ten. appointed year ago,
will be- submitted. Five noin bers of the
committee are Canadian mem bers. and
five are members from the United States.
The Chairman is Colonel Il. Il. Sellers of
Detroit, who will report the draft of a
new constitu tan, which will be ths pres
ent constitution of the American Protec-
tive Association 80 modified that 1t will
have international scope. The Canadian
delegates are here as delegates to the
committee meeting only, but until the re-
port is adopted they will be admitted to
full fellowship.

The Agitator Elected From the House
OF Commons.
LONDON, May S.-There was an excit-
ing and unprecedented scene in the
House of Commons this afternoon. Just
as the Chief Secretary Tor Ireland, John
Morley, had finished his speech IN dis
cussing the bill of Edmund f. V. Knox,
a member for West Cavan, anti Parnell-
ite, to repeal the Crimes Act, ODonovan
Rossa, the well-known Irish agitator
from New York, arose from his seat in
the strangers gallery a nd exclaimed:
"Mr. Speaker, an assassin's blow has
been aimed at mo in this house and q
stain has been put on my name" Rossa's s
remarks were greeted with loud shouts
of Order"
The Sergeant alarms summarily
elected Rossa from the house. At the
time the members did not know IL was
Rossa who interrupted the proceedings,
and when his identity became known
the sensation increased. The previous
speaker. it appears, had alluded in un-
complimentary terms to O'Donovan
Rossa. Rosa, after being elected, was
marched off the premises by bluecoats,
who warned him not to show his face
there again.

Hearing of the Petition for Probate
Continued One Week.
SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-To-day was
the time fixed for hearing the petition for
the probate of the will of James G. Fair,
dated Septem ber 2l, 1894, to which oppo-
sition has been filed by Charles l.. Fair.
AT the request Of the executors contin-
uance for one week was granted to enable
the executors to consider the opposition,
the executors counsel not conceding the
right of Fairs children to file a contest.
The Fair children then demurred 10
the contest, commenced by Van Il. Pat
erson on behalf of the otherwise unrep-
resented minor heirs. Among his clients
he includes Herman Oelrichs, Jr.; To this
Mrs. Oelrichs objects. The right of Pat
erson to represent the boy was also con-
tested by Herman Oelrichs, who was ap-
pointed general guardian OF his child. and
who declared that he would look after his
sons Interests.
Paterson argued that the general guar
dian's interests were antagonistic to those
of his child. Someone entirely unlnter-
ested should represent the child. Ihe
matter was taken under advisement.

No Longer Any Doubt that 1t VIII be

Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated Press
MANAGUA (Nicaragua), May S.-There
is no longer any doubt that Great Britain
will receive her smart money on time.
The 9l5,000 sterling to be paid by Mica
ragua to Great Britain has been raised
here by popular donations. Three Ger
man merchants have given $4,000, and
the whole amount will be ready in Lon
don in a few days. The raising of the
money, however, has only increased the
feeling i'll Nicaragua against Great
Britain, and the feeling is now very Bit
ter; indeed, more so. if possible, than
when the British troops landed at CO.
rinto. The general opinion seems to be
that the Central American Republics will
form a combination, possibly secret,
against Great Britain, and that every
thing possible will be done TO exclude
British goods from Central America. This
feeling will probably result IN CONNER
cial gain 10 the United States.

Drove blessing to the civilized world.
1t means that Corea Is to be absolutely In

tilted in believing that the Japanese in
tended TO gradually annex the Corean
peninsula. The Corean King Is mere
puppet III the hands OF Count lnuoye, and
all national movements among the Corean
people are ruthlessly suppressed by Jap
anese troops. With Japan guarding on
one side Of the gulf and China on the
other, Europe would find itself poweriess
to deal with either nation. Russia has III
no sense taken from Japan any legitimate
spoiIs of war. The Japanese have from
the very beginning declared that the sole
object of the struggle was 10 tree Corea.
