the absence of enthusiasm and a de-
sire to rush through states than any
thing else.
The most conspicuous feature was
rthe manner in which the Tribune
clique was knocked out.
But for their firm stand for repre-
seINation by the country delegates, the
agricultural department would have
been showed under completely.
Labor was snubbed, and the colored
vote was ignored when Bruce John
son was rejected.
The women also had a very narrow
escape from being shut out entirely.
Despite platforms and promises the
suffrage plank was upheld by a scratch
only, and the nomination of the two
women was more accident than any
thing else.
So far as the nomination for gov
ernor is concerned, Thomas is shut
out. He had but handful of support
ers in the convention, and the Thomas
delegates from this county in the ter
ritorial convention will be scarcer than
1NlS' teeth. Crane developed all the
strength that was claimed for him, and
G<-Ae only show to head him off viii be
y springing dark horse.
The judgeship is very much mixed.
There are 4 number Of candidates and
all have considerable strength, the one
patent fact here that the Tribune here
crowd will not have much more than a
whisper in choosing the man. The
"antis'' worked neat dodge by elect
ing some Thomas supporters TO the ju-
dicial convention, thus disposing of
them effectually.
As to the senatorial fight, Arthur
Brown developed much strength, while
Bennett developed great weakness.
Browns supporters claim that he has a
majority Of the legislative candidates,
while Trunbo's supporters make the
same claim. What Bennett claims is
not known, but. at least two men on
the ticket are for him now. This much
is certain, no Tribune candidate is in
the race for minute.

PRESBYTERIAN CHRISTIAN UNION.

COLUMBUS, o.. Aug. 22.-At the ses-
sion today of the seventh annual insti-
tute of the Christian Union of the Unit
ed Presbyterian church, the officers
elected were: Chairman, John H. Muir
dock, Washington, Pa; secretary, Mrs.
J. H. Mitchell, Cleveland.
Rev George E. Hawkes., of Portland,
Ore, speaking of the need of the new
men in the Christian work in the Pa
cific and Sandwich Islands. created a
storm of applause by saying the latter
were to be annexed to the United States
by President" Mckinley.
Secretary Rev. j. A. Duff, of Engle-
wood, ILL.,, reported rs subordinate So
cieties, with a total membership of
1854. During the year these societies
raised So, $50.

recognize this state of things and will
seek the treaty ports until the excite
ment subsidies and normal conditions
are restored.
The utmost confidence is expressed
at the legation of the intention of the
Chinese imperial government to pro-
tect the Christian missionaries as far
as possible, and the last edict from
the emperor, issued within the past ten
days, is quoted as evidence of this in
tention. A quite full synopsis of this
document has been received by cable
at the legation 1t is entirely in the
interest of the Christians and is de-
rected especially to the high Chinese
officials. They are asked to see that
the lives and property of all Christians,
both foreign and native, are protected
at all times. The edict also commands
the lower officials and the people gen
orally to observe this behest. and
closes by saying that any violation of
the order will be severely punished.
Confidence is also expressed at the
legation in the thoroughness of the
investigation into the recent riots, and
it is believed there that as soon as the
imperial will can be known, American
and English consuls will be admitted
to the hearing.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. ga local pa
per prints the following:
Headquarters were opened in this
city this afternoon looking toward the
success of an expedition already par
TALLY organized in behalf of the free
dom of Cuba. The nucleus of the ex-
petition consists of 100 picked men
who are ready to go at any time. The
method of procedure is secret, but the
leaders, all of whom are prominent,
say there exists no doubt about the
transfer of the men to the island.
Orville Shelby, son of Fighting"
General Shelby, is at the head of the
movement. He and few of his closest
friends, it is learned, held a meeting
last night, lasting until 1:3O this morn
ing, at which plans for carrying out
the expedition were suggested and ear
nestly discussed.
The following named gentlemen are
said to have been present and to have
participated in the conference: Ex-As-
SiStant Prosecuting Attorney j. n. j.
Mastin, B. G. Crosby, of Butler, Mo-,
son of Rear Admiral Crosby of the
United States navy; J. Russell Lincoln,
distantly related to the martyred pres
ident; c. Breckenridge, of Palmyra,
Mo, related to the distinguished Con-
federate general of that name; Joseph
Brooks, John Warner, William Showers
and others.
Secrecy Was EnjOinted.
Every effort was made to throw the
cloak of secrecy about the meeting.
Just what transpired could not be
fully ascertained. But it is known that
the -organizat ton scheme was fully ma
tured. Diagrams and maps. of the is
land and kilograms and letters showing
direct communication with Tomas Es-
trade Palma were submitted. Reports
We're received showing remarkabl BILE in

proposed expedition win be distributed

the leaders of the expedition. He has

BUTTE, Mont. Aug. 22.-An attempt
was made tonight by some unknown
miscreants to blow up the 1880 east
bound Northern Pacific passenger train
by placing stick of dynamite in a
frog" at a junction half a mile east
of the city. Nearly the whole train
passed over the dynamite before it ex-
ploded. The last coach, filed with
passengers, was badly shattered, but
no one was injured. The dynamite
was evidently placed there by some one
with a grievance against the road, but
no particular person is suspected.

These are the two moves that might

In the case OF the VenezIe!an boundary

dor. Mr.. Bayard, has not succeeded In In.
ducing the British government TO give
heed to the request submitted by him ut
the direction Of congress that tho bound
ary dispute be submitted to arbitration.
The British are profuse In their decla-
ration Of willingness to arbitratc the
title to the lands west OF tho Schomberg
line, but In the view Of tho state depart
ment this Is pure evasion Of the real Issue,
for there never has been any reason for
the assertion OF British right to this terri
tory, and 1t Is the territory lying east Of
this line that forms the substance OF tho
contention.
The present situation Is believed To bo
alarming, as armed bodies OF Brltish and
Vonezuelans are pressing each other
closely in the disputed territory, and there
may be hostile clash ut any moment.
The administration has boon considering
carefully the course TO DO pursued in such
case and 1t is entirely probable that IL the
British persist in bringing about this col
lislon through failure to heed the repeated
warnings and requests Of the United
States TO submit the matter TO fair ar-
bitration, then tho United States will feel
called to follow the moral aid it has given
to Venezuela in this matter by more
substantial assistance.
