ALASKAN POLITICS.
THEY CATCH ONTO THE TEXAS
METHOD.
The Republican Convention Has Row
and Comes Near Making a Quincy
Affair of It.

CHICAGO, May pa special to
the Record from Juneau, Alaska,
May 6, via Port Townsend, says:
Politics, heretofore an unknown
quantity in Alaska, have broken
out with suddenness aud vigor,
and with the selection of the dele
cation to the republican national
convention. At the territorial con-
vention which met here Thursday,
there were two tickets in the field.
The fight has been very bitter, and
when the faction led by @. s.
Blackett realized they were in the
minority, they bolted the organi-
cation by attempting to reject the
right chairman and placing ex-
Judge Bugbee in his place. The
motion as put was to put the regu-
lar chairman, w. G. Hieds, out
without warning. An attempt was
made to carry it into effect. Chair
man Heid's friends surrounded
him; twenty or thirty reached for
weapons and general fight ap-
peared imminent. The boilers
failing to dislodge the regular
chairman, placed Bugbee at the
head Of another body and proceed
ed to hold q conference of their
own and more In conformity with
their own views. During the tur-
moil Judge Bugbee, who was
man in feeble health, and who In
the excitement had been subjected
to very rough usage, was pros
trated by a stroke OF apoplexy.
The regular organization proceeded
with the business in hand and
elected delegates to st. Louis:
Thomas Snowwell, well-known
mining man Of Juneau; @. 3. john
son, also of Juneau and United
States attorney for Alaska under
the Harrison administration, and

A SENSATIONAL SERMON
PR0PHESIES REVOLUTION IN THE
UNITED STATES.
His Sermon ProVokes Severe Criticism -
Moral Dsprayity Will Bring About
Our Doom.

SEATTLE, May 25.-Dr. j. II.
Acton, pastor Of the First Unitar.
Ian church, in preaching the
Baccalaureste sermon in the uni
versity Of Washington yesterday
developed sensation by picturing
the present condition of the world
in the darkest possible col
ors and prophesying a speedy
revolution in the United States,
which he said would be accom-
plished cat the cannon's mouth, IL
need be-" and which he predicted
would overturn the existing order
Of thing and radically modify the
national government.
Comparing this country with the
Roman empire, he said: "Rome
could levy taxes at will of her ruler,
declare any complaint treason,
marry her daughters for money
and titles, punish servants tardi-
ness with death, let thief and MUIR
derer go free, with a mild reproof,
and make slaves of the profound.
est philosophers. What less than
this is America doing today
Rome's moral poverty settled her
doom. Oh, my country, is 1t true
of thee? The last appeal OF out
ragged nature is revolution. For
America now there is no other re-
dress. We do not want new hands
at the helm but new ship.
Revolution is at hand, but 1t
need not be national ruin. Foun-
dations long considered divine,
will be torn up. Constitutions
long considered sacred will be
changed. There is great loss,
and a great upheaval near at hand.
Do you ask me how these great
radical reforms are to be inaugu-
rated? / will tell you. BY the
power Of intelligent decision. By
the explosion Of expanding indig-
nation, by the final climax Of a
fruitless patience, which has at
last eliminated in the resistless
fury of the tempest"
The sermon has provoked severe
criticism as it is known that no
such sentiments are cherished in
the University.

ELECTRICITY KNOCKED OUT.
The Compressed Air Motor Takes the

The Compressed Air Motor Takes the
Track in New York,
- NEW YORK, May 25.-The World
this morning says: Unless the
proverbial unexpected happens the
Metropolitan traction company
will be running cars with COM
pressed air motors in this city by
the middle Of next month. The
probability is that experiments
will be made by the new motor to
be built by June l. The cars are
expected to be in regular service
on the Lenox avenue line, and the
Goth street cross town line. The
managers of the Traction company
refuse to say a word about the new
motor and seem determined to
keep the matter secret, but f. b.
Wiedener, who was interviewed by
a reporter in Philadelphia con-
firmed the report. Mr.. Wiedener,
said: "We have been experiment
ing with compressed air for several
months and have reached stage
when it can be successfully util-
lied. We are having cars built at
a factory in Massachusetts, and
expect to put about 20 of them In
operation on the Lenox avenue
and Goth street lines about the
middling OF next month. The
break downs in the underground
and trolley systems caused us to
look for a plan that was practic-
able and effective. We believe we
have found it and believe in a
short time we will be able to give
the New Workers q perfect system

PERU in TROUBLE.
THE DISSATISFACTION WITH PIERO-
LA CONTINUES.
Foreign Traders and Home Merchants Sym
pathize With the Revolutionists.
Increased Wheat Expectations.

New YORK, May Pa dispatch
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres
says: The Herald's correspondent
in Manaos, Brazil, sends word that
a boat arriving there from Iquitos,
Peru, brings news that Col. Semi
narios, leader of the movement to
make the department of Loreto,
Peru, an Independent state, has
called into the field all persons able
to carry arms. Col. SeminariOs
has raised about 5000 men to re-
sist the troops of President Pierola.
They have only old style arms. A
small steamer has been armed for
service on the Amazon river. Sem
inarios has issued q proclamation
declaring the independence OF the
new state.
1t is alleged that German and
French traders along the Amazon
have connived at furnishing sup
plies Of munitions of war and
arms to the revolutionists. River
pilots have refused to guide the
vessels the Peruvian government
may send up the river to Iquitos,
and there is an agreement among
merchants not to furnish provis-
ions for these vessels. The
sympathy of the people of the
upper Amazon is with the revolu-
tionists.
Word comes from the Herald's
correspondent in Managua, Mic
aragua, that doctors attending
minister of Foreign Affairs Gomez
say he cannot live more than
three months.
A telegram from the Herald's
correspondent in Rio Janeiro, Bra
I'll, says the minister Of naval az
fairs has prepared memorial call
ing the attention OF the country to
the big warships ordered by Chilli

that Brazil is defenceless against
them. In view of the celebration
today OF the Independence OF Ar
gentine, the president has par
doned several prisoners. The TO-.
600 italian residents have marched
before the president and cabinet
today to express their loyalty to
the republic, which had showed
much sympathy for Italy when
she was meeting disaster.
In order to prevent any feeling
OF i'll will on the part Of the Span
ish residents the men on board the
United States Steamship Castine,
will not march in tomorrow's pro-
cession.
Only the officers OF Lancaster
and Castine will take part In the
parade.
After being in the hands OF vsri-
Gus United States ministers for the
last 20 years, the claim OF the
family OF William Halle for illegal
imprisonment in Rosario has been
settled through Minister Buchan-
an. This government agrees to
pay a lump sum OF money.
The wheat exports to Europe up
to date are $4,000 tons against
$4,000 tons last season. The bal
ance OF the crop is estimated at
10000 tons, of which three-fourths
will go to Brazil.
