tine business transacted was disposed Of with
as little effort as possible. The most i'm

Resolutions were presented favoring the oblit-
Grafton OF the color line in the election OF
bishops, and condemning lynchings. both of

posing reduction in the salary Of the con-

ported that they were in good health and
capable OF continuing in the discharge of their
auties, but that in view of the growth of the
cnurch and possible contingencies, the election
OF two more bishops was desirable

mended the appointment of one evangelist or

ENGLISH COMMENT.
Spain Acted Wisely in Avoiding
Summary Executions.


LONDON, May 12.-The Graphic, comment
ing upon the question at issue between the
United States and Spain over the men sem
fenced to death at Havana, compares the
Competitor cases to the Jameson raids, and
says: "Englishmen can sympathize with the
United States looking at the scandalous mis-
government in Cuba. But the analogy col
lapses when the attitude of the United States
to its own raiders is compared with England's
to hers. What would Europe have said if
Mr.. Chamberlain had talked to President
Kruger as Mr.. Olney talks to Spain? We
trust, however, that Spain will show clemency
to the fliDusters; for the knowledge that
she will not do so twice may help to put Mr..
Olney on his guard and to moderate the en-
tbusiasm of the Florida Cubanophiles.''
The Times says in editorial: Spain is
well advised in yielding to Mr.. Olney's de-
mand for delay She has thus averted an ex-
plosion of popular indignation in the United
States, which the administration, however pa
eifcally disposed, could not have resisted 1t
is extremely fortunate that the sentences have
not been summarily executed. so that Spain is
able to avert an unappeasable quarrel. A
friendly discussion of the points at issue will
give time for angry passions on both sides to
cool 1t VIII not be denied that Spain has
the right on her side but to insist upon the
letter OF her rights would be in the highest

KRUGER SURPRISED.
Did Not Expect Rhodes Would Be
Defended.

PRETORIA, May 11.-President Kruger has
granted an interview with press representa-
tive in which he said that he was astonished
at the official defense of Cecil Rhodes and OF
the Chartered South Africa company in Fri
days debate in the house of commons. He
said he wished that he could have been there
so as to be able to personally floor the argu-
ments of some of the speakers. President
Kruger continued by asserting that the in
trigues alleged to exist between the Trans
vaal and Germany were merely soap bubbles.
The South African republic, he said, desired
to be friends with all, but the recent plot was
indefensible, and those who engineered it
must be punished. There would be no rest
for South Africa, he concluded, until that was
done.
The secretary Of state for the Transyaal,
Dr. w. J. Leyds, says: "The chartered COM
pany, as at present controlled, is source Of
danger to the whole OF South Africa. The in
cursion of the Transvaal was made by officers
and troops carrying the company's arms. The
position of the persons, who knew beforehand
the plan of the incursion and who supported
it, is defended by the statement that they act
ed in the interests and for the extension Of
imperial South Africa. Those who defended
and upheld the incursion and who pressed
for generous treatment Of the rebels now In
jail do not realize what injury and mischief
they are causing by adopting such an atti-
tude.'

IN THE OIL FIELDS.
Great Damage Is Beine Done by the
Fires.

BRADFORD, Pa, May 1.-THE hemlock
slashings that escaped last sullmer's forest
fires are now a roaring mass of flames in the
oil fields, south of this city. A large gang
of men were sent from here Saturday night
to fight the flames, but the fire had gained
such headway it was impossible to check its
progress, until 1t spread to thirteen oil wells
owned by the Emery Oil company, the der
ricks of which were consumed, together with
a number of small oil tanks and boiler houses.
Men are still trying to prevent the flames
from spreading to the Southeast Pennsylvania
coal oil wells, which are in close proximity.
Should these get start in that direction the
loss will be heavy, and there is no telling
where 1t will stop, as the derricks are thick
and "a large amount Of oil is stored in small
tanks which would add materially to the
destruction of valuable oil property.
Small fires are reported in various parts
of the field, and the people are much worried,
owing to the fact that everything is as dry as
tinder Not drop of rain has fallen in nearly
a month, and there is no indication of it as
yet Fires are reported on all sides of Oswayo,
a small lumber town in Potter county. No
details are obtainable at this time.

MONTANA CONVENTION.
Strong Indorsement for silver and
Protection.


BUTTE, Mont, May 1.-THE state Republi-
can convention met today and concluded its
work. The platform contains the following
declaration on the silver question:
we reiterate our faith in the great Re-
publican principles of bimetallism, protection
and reciprocity announcing as our under
staEding of bibetallism the free and unlimited
coinage of 10th gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to l independently by the United States
We maintain that these three cardinal prin-
ciples of Republican faith should be the first
consideration of the congress of the United
States, and that ample legislation be enacted
upon these subjects. We call the attention
of rejecting men to the recent development
of productive and manufacturing enterprise
in China, India and other silver using coun-
tries, and submit that the competition with
which we are thus menaced imparatively de-
mands the restoration of silver to it's ancient
money function, as means of equaIzing the
dlHerence IN exchange, and the establishment
oil protective tariff policy as necessary
measure of equalizing the difference in wages
and cost of living.
We condemn as un-Repub1ican and un-
statesmanlike the action of those Republicans
in congress who, in defiance of Republican
traditions, rushed 10 the aid of Democratic
administration and Democratic majority in
congress in securing the unconditional repeal
OF the Sherman law. and we assert that the
repeal of that law has utterly failed to ac-
complish single benefcent result predicted
by the enemies of silver"
Charles j. Johnson, of Silver Bow, offered
a subresolution that the delegates to st.
Louis walk out of the convention if nothing
is done for silver. The resolution was laid
on the table.
Senators Carter and Mantle and Congress-
man Hartman were nominated delegates to
st. Louis by reclamation. Nominations for
the other three places were made. One bal
lot was enough for the selections. Thomas
G.Marshall, j. W. Strevelle and Alexander
Metzel were chosen. Marshall was a Dem
ocrat until year ago.

DELAY SECURED.
Competitor Prisoners VIII Not BE
Executed at Once.

Executed at Once.
WASHINGTON, May lin the Competitor
case 1t can be authoritatively stated that. at
the request of the United States, the Spanish
government will postpone the execution of
the death sentences upon American citizens
until the views of the United States respect
ing the application of their cases of the treaty
of 1875 and the protocol of 1877 can be pre-
sented and considered. The announcement of
the postponement of the executions means
delay of some weeks at least The matter
will be taken up by the diplomatic represen-
tatives of the United States and Spain, and
be made the subject of the exchange of cor
respondences on the Interpretation of the
treaty provisions between the two nations
Meanwhile the effect will be to allay popular
excitement both here and in Spain.
The action of the state department in in
sistfng upon retrial at least of the Ameri-'
can prisoners is evidently in answer to the
contention of the court-martial that the Cush-
Ing protocol of 1877 did not apply to the pres
ent case The court held that it applied only
to American citizens resident in Spain or the
Spanish dominions, and, as the captives from
the Competitor were not in any sense resi-
dents of Cuba, it decided that they could
not claim any of the privileges accorded by
the protocol. In the opinion of the state de-
partment, this was an extremely narrow and
illiberal construction to place upon the proto-
col. But while not accepting this construc-
tion, the department guarded against an ad-
verse decision the protocol by recurring
to the ancient treaty Of 1895, on the ground
that If the prisoners case was not covered
by the protocol it certainly could invoke the
measure of protection afforded by the earlier
treaty. While this treaty is not by any mat
ter generous. it still contains some guaran-
tees of great value to the, prisoners in Just
such cases as that which has now arisen
The section of the, treaty applying to the
case in the judgment Of the state department,
read as follows:
And it is agreed that the subjectssand teiti-
,zens of each of the contracting parties, their
vessels or effects, shall not be liable to any
embargo or detention on the part Of the 9TH
er for any military expedition or public or
private purpose whatever, and in all cases of
seizure, detention or arrest for debts contract
ed or offenses committed by any citizen of
the one party, within the jurisdiction of the
other, the same shall be made and prosecuted
by order and authority of law only, and ac
cording to the regular course of proceedings
usual in such cases. The citizens and SUBJ
jects of both parties shall be allowed to en-
ploy such advocates solicitors and notaries,
agents and factors as they may judge prop
er in all their affairs and in all their trials
at law in which they may be concerned be-
fore the tribunals of the other party; and
such agents shall have free access to be
present at the proceedings In such cases,
and at the taking of all examinations and
