B0YCOTTING UNION.
Efforts of the Liberals to Secure Reconsider atiOn FaiI-Next Meeting
 n Saratoga

Pittsburg. May 25.-More than the usual number of commissioners were in attendance at the Presbyterian general assembly today. The word had been passed to the conservative leaders that the liberals were moving toward the re- peal of their pet measure, the boycotting of the students of the Union seminary. The boycott resolution was in the form of an answer to the overture of the New York presbytery asking what course should be pursued with reference to Un- ion seminary students who asked to be taken under the care of that preSbytery This arose out of dispute over three students from that seminary, whose eX- animation in doctrine was unsatisfac- tory to some of the examiners. But they were admitted for licensure not. Withstanding a protest and complaint was threatened. The complaint acted as a stay to the licensing ceremony and in order to remove the stay the liberals consented to the overture, placing the duty of determining the vexed question upon the general assembly. The answer of the assembly was that all presbyte- ries are forbidden by the book to ac. cept students who have not studied at least two years under approved divines. The New York presbytery must not re- ceive students who have studied or who intend to study at a theological semi nary which has been disapproved. This answer was made without debate
 This was the severest blow that has been dealt to Union seminary. Libra rian Gillette of that institution, who is here watching the proceedings of the as- sembly, says that 1t will drive away most of the Presbyterian students now en- rolled there. This opinion is echoed by others who are warmly attached to Cn- ion. Ever since the passage of the reso- lution there has been talk of reconsid- eration.
 Near the close of today's proceedings Elder John F. Dey, editor of the New York Evangelist, rising to a question of privilege, moved to reconsider the ac- ton of the assembly in answer to the overture respecting Union seminary stu dents. Elder Dey having stated that he had not voted on that question at the time the action was taken, was ruled out of order. A delegate made the motion for him, and another seconded the motion, and Elder Dey proceeded. He was again called to order. There upon MT. Dey argued that the attitude of Union seminary toward Dr. Briggs and the assembly was based upon legal advice of men of high prominence in the New York bar, and that it was un- fair and unwise to attempt to punish Union seminary students therefor. He held that the action was a decisive wedge, and it will cost much There are no men who have given so liberally as the men who have feelings on the sub Ject. Elder Dey was again called to order, and on motion the motion to re- consider was laid on the table by a large majority.
 The next assembly will meet at Sara toga in May, 1896.

SibleY at Salt Lake.

Salt Lake, Utah. May 25.-General Warner and EX-Congressman Sibley ar rived from the west today, and were re- ceived by a committee of the chamber of commerce. A monster mass meeting was held at the theater tonight presided over by Ex-Congressman Rawlins and attended by representative men of all parties Both speakers sharply ar raigned the administration and the re- cent speeches of Secretary Carlisle and Comptroller Eckels
 MT Sibley said that MT. Carlsles DOT trayal of the horrors of free coinage would not prevent the American people from giving it an experiment. He ad- dressed the silver mine owners particu- larly and was immensely cheered when he said they were the least part of the calculations of the bimetallists; that where the mine owners mad lost dollar by the demonetzation of silver the American people had lost $100. The en- thusiasm broke beyond bounds when the speaker said he had no presidential as- pirations; that he was with the party republican or democratic or populist that dared go for the silver cause. He closed by prophesying that there would only be two parties in America in 1886; one the party of the gold trust, the other the party of the American people, and every citizen must be on one side or the other

MIR. BRYAN AT JACKSON, TENN,
Charges MT. Carlisle With Inconsistency
 ''1G to 1 Is Rieht''

''1e to l Is Right''
 Jackson, Tenn, May 25.-The greatest silver meeting yet held in the south nas that which occurred here today, when 5000 democrats from west Tennessee, north Mississippi and west Kentucky were present to hear W. J. Bryan of Ne braska, McLaurin of Mississippi, "Pri- Nate' John Allen of Mississippi and E. w. Carmaek Of Tennessee.
 Madison County Bimetallic league was formed in the morning, with P. G. Murray, leading manuIacturer, as president, and vice-presidents for every precinct in the county. The speaking took place in the tabernacle. Mayor Caruthers presided. Hon. J. T. Little of Arkansas spoke first.
 Hon. w. J. Bryan received an enthusi- astic welcome when introduced by Hon. Thomas II. Paine.
 After arguing the inconsistency be- tween the utterances of MT. Carlisle in 1878 and his recent speeches, he said the opponents of free coinage had for years shielded themselves behind ambiguous phrases and have pretended to be ad- herents of bimetallism. It has for that reason been difficult to make the issue clear and distinct. Since MT. Cleveland and MT Carlisle have now pronounced for gold there is no longer any need or doubt of concealment Universal gold
 
 kind. Our nation as a debtor nation would suffer much more than England from gold standard.
 The speaker quoted from a memorial presented yesterday to the chancellor of the exchequer, regretting the growing agitation in favor of bimetallsm. The United States should take the lead for the restoration of silver The ratio of 16 to l is the most practical one If it should be fixed different, 26 to 1 by inter- national agreement, it would contract the metallic money of the world one sixth, increase the debts of the world billions of dollars and decrease the mar ket value of the property of the world.
 T believe the United States is large enough to afford an unlimited market for all the silver that would come to it and maintain the parity at the present ratio. It is absurd to speak of the silver dollar as cheap dollar and then complain that free coinage would enrich the mine own CTS. MT. Cleveland and his associates seem to be trying to run the democratic party on the financial policy of John sherman The agitation now going on will soon be over and the democratic par ty will rest again in undisturbed posses sion of democratic principles, and will present an almost unbroken front in fa- vor of the gold and silver coinage of the constitution" '"

Silver Movement in Illinois.

Springfield, Ill, May 25.-Christian county selected delegates to the silver convention today, all being instructed for free silver. In the Stephenson county convention there was a lively debate over the silver resolution.

The democrats of Warren county held their convention today and passed reso- lutions demanding the free coinage of silver Each delegate was required to make a public statement of his fidelity to the cause.
 Conventions of the party were also held in Henderson, Shelby, Platt, Cass and Ford counties. and instructions giv- en the delegates to vote for the unlim- ited coinage of silver.

JOE BURTON CONVICTED
AND THE JURY GIVES HIM TEN YEARS
It Took Them Four Hours to Reach the Yer dict-A Brilliant Legal Battle.
 Story of the Crime.

Anniston, May 25.-(Specal.) )-Thc trial of the case of the state against Joe Burton, charged with murder, which has been on trial in the circuit court of this county at Jacksonville on a change of venue from Clcburne county for the past two weeks, terminated this after noon at o'clock by the jury, which had been out since Il o'clock, bringing in verdict of murder in the second degree and fixing the penalty at ten years in the penitentiary. Judge Brewer devoted tho morning to giving his charge, which was written. It was very concise and clear.
 The trial was the longest ever held in this county, and il and the crime which caused it have attracted much attention.
 There was large and brilliant legal array on each side, and every point was closely contested.
 Burton is the 14-year-old son of Elk Judge of Probate T. J. Burton, one of Cleburne county's most prominent citi- zens, and the crime charged was that of shooting to death his playmate, JethrO Evans, the 19-year-old son of Sheriff Evans of Cleburne county. On the night of January "A young Evans was found dead in grove just outside the city linn its of Edwardsville, with three bullet holes in his head Evans had left town alone, but two negro women had seen
 
 piece of woods together, and had shortly afterwards heard shooting. Others saw Burton leaving the scene of the killing shortly after the shooting was heard. Suspicion was thus directed to Burton, and he was arrested.
 A friend of the murdered boy secured admission to the cell of Burton in the Edwardsville jail and obtained from him a full confession, which was admitted in the trial.
 The defense tried to prove an alibi, but the effort was unsuccessful. The motive of the crime is believed to have been to get a fine pistol which young Evans had andwhich belonged to his father, as sev- eral notes from young Burton were found in his pockets after his death ask ing him to meet Burton at the place of the killing and to bring the pistol, Bur ton offering to give him a dollar if he would let him shoot 1t ten times. The notes told young Evans not to say a word about where he was going or whom he was going to meet. The pistol has never been found. The murdered boy was very quiet, inoffensive and popular, while young Burton is unusually wild for his age. and is said to have been very fond of the Jesse James-Rube Burrows class of literature.

drive all the gold out of the country This is not true. We have tried it once, and when we quit we had three dollars to every one dollar in gold more than when we began. He says this country would be the dumping ground for all silver bullion He is off there, for ours is the only nation under the sun that has silver bullion"
 The speaker went into every point of MT. Carlisle's speech, and was generous ly applauded.
 MT. Blackburn paid his respects to the administration, saying:
 T am greatly handicapped, but let Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle and all the rest take the stump, and I will win this race in spite Of the whole combination. .

NOW COMES JOE BLACKBURN
And Says He Makes Answer to Mir. Carlise's
 Speech

opeeCn
 Lawrenceburg, Ky, May 25.-Senator J. c. Blackburn, who was advertised to answer Secretary Carlisle here today, was greeted by a large audience. He spoke substantially as follows:
 "They were not satisfied to let MT McCreary, MT. Buckner, MT. Brown and myself fight this battle on its merlts but they imported a man who is greater than John, the Baptist to drive back this silver craze, as they call it. Now, understand that what l am going to say about MT. Carlisle will be said in the kindest terms possible. l do not mean to complain of MT. Carlisle coming here to his own state to speak. He has the right to come. It was not necessary for him to apologize for coming.
 II do not know in what capacity the gentleman came and spoke, whether he came as citizen of this grand old com monwealth, or as secretary of the treas ury. But God knows 1 am not willing to believe he came in the capacity of the secretary of the treasury to dictate to his people what to do about this all inn portant question. No matter how he came, or who he is, have the right to answer him, and that is what I am going to do It may be called sacrilige for me to reply to so great man, but I would reply to the president should he come down here and take issue against me. lApplauSe) No man can get so big in mind or body but what he can be an- swered.''
 MT. Blackburn went on to show what he termed MT. Carlisles inconsistency in saying in Covington that he had never been for free silver.
 If the speech he made in 1878 was not a free silver speech" said Mr. Black burn, what was it? He let this speech go for seventeen years without saying anything against it; now he comes out and says it was not a silver speech. Well, then, we will believe MT. Carlisle and not his speech, and I will go and give you little proof that is proof. On the 7th day of November, 1872, MT. Car lisle, while sitting by my side in the house of representatives, voted for the Dick Bland bill, out and out. I do not ask you to take my word on this vote, but look on pages 143 and IA of journal proceedings of the Forty-fifth congress, book No. 1893.
 "Only five years ago the Sherman bill passed. voted against that bill; so did MT. Carlisle; yet he is making the same old speech that Sherman made then. Now know you will say that showing his inconsistency does not answer his argument; I know that. am going now to answer his argument-every point of it. I thought when the mighty Carlisle came they were going to throw new light on this subject, but they did not. He did not advance single new idea. First he makes the assertion that if you have free coinage of silver you will put the country on a silver basis and would

 Santiago de Cuba. May 25.-Colonel Sandoval reports that the body of Jose Marti was finally identified and buried at Remonanamuas. Colonel Sandoval says that in the battle on May 20 Marti personally led the machete charge made by the rebels. He also asserts that the horse ridden by Maxine Gomez was killed, and that in the last insurgent charge Gomez himself was wounded. Government troops attempted to cap ture him, but Borrero one of the rebel leaders, carried him off the field and to a safe place. In doing so Borrero had to cross the fire of the troops, but he apparently escaped unscathed. It is stated that the bands under Masso and Rabbi will proceed to Cauto to aid the Gomez band, and that the combined bands will then come to Puerto Prin- cipe.
 Juan Guerra, a rebel leader, was wounded in a recent fight with the gov ernment troops
