Madrid Official Comments on Uncle SANS
Position.
New YORK, May ia dispatch to
The World from Madrid says: SenOr
Moret, formerly Liberal minister Of for
eign affairs, said to The World CORES
pondent
II don't believe now that the Com
petitor case is likely to lead to any I'M
pleasant tension III the relations with
the United States, as months must
elapse before a new trial can be had.
The American government raised its
objections under the treaty of 1875,
made when we still possessed Florida,
and which ought to have been formally
abrogated, since it hardly applies to our
insular position in Cuba. America also
inyokes the protocol Of 1877, which
Our Parliament Never Ratified,
so that ignored its existence, though l
held office several times as minister Of
state. This is III contradiction to our
military and civil codes doubt if our
tribunals in the peninsula could recog-
| nize it.
"The incident might have been
avoided first, by hanging the pirates at
the yard arm, as all other nations have
done ; secondly, by sending the case TO
an ordinary courtmartial, with the as
sistance Of counsel and the right of ap-
peal to the Spanish supreme courts, III
which case the American government
signified officially that it would not oh-
ject to the application of the laws of
Spain to foreign citizens"

CHURCH OR LODGE.
st. Paul Lutherans Compelled to Give Up
One or the Other.

ST. PAUL, May l3.-Surprise, indiSna-
tiOn and CONSERVATION have taken
possession of numbers of citizens of st.
Paul who are members of the Lutheran
churches and at the same time hold a
membership in one or more secret So
cieties, especially those Of a beneficial
character.
This condition has been brought about
by the action taken by the First Swedish
Lutheran church recently in enforcing
an edict prohibiting its members
from belonging to any secret So
ciety, no matter what its charac-
ter. While this action is being felt
here with some severity, it is by no
means local in its character but spreads
all over the land, and it is one of those
serious questions that must sooner or
later confront the American people with
force. Six of the prominent members OF
the First Lutheran church have been
expelled and several others cited to ap-
pear before the deacons because they are
members Of the Modern Woodmep.

NAGGING THE BRITISH LION,
Report That Russia Has Seized Some of
Her Territory.

Her Territory.
LONDON, May ia special dispatch
from Shanghai says that Russians,
through an American agent named
Smith, have taken possession of the dis
-puted territory at Che Foo over which
the British claimed rights. Six Russian
warships are there, as well as the York
town, Detroit, Olympia and Machias of
the United States navy. The dispatch
adds that intense excitement prevails at
Chez Foo.
A dispatch to The Globe from Shang-
hal says that Russians have seized Lot IL
of the British concession at Che Foo, in
defiance to all legal and treaty rights.
The Globes editorial comment OH the
dispatches from Shanghai contains the
remark that "the seriousness of the
news from Che Foo cannot be overesti-
mated. The action taken is in direct
contravention Of existing laws and treat
les, and cannot be viewed by Great
Britain as other than an unfriendly
act"
In an editorial regarding the reported
seizure at Chee- Foo of land situated
within the British concession, The
Times says at is inconceivable that
the land which China cedes TO Russia at
Chee-Foo forms part Of the British con-
cession. Such an act would entail an
immediate demand for reparatiOn."

WAS BRIEF BUT BREEZY.
Considerable Oratory at the Days Session
of the Methodist Conference.

CLEVELAND, May l3.-The days scs-
sion of the Methodist general confer
ence was brief but breezy. Consider
able oratory was indulged i'll over the
headlines of one of the morning news
papers which made it appear that a
conference delegate had denounced the
Christian EndeavOr society as idiotic be-
cause it had prayed for the conversion
of Colonel Ingersoll. The storm quickly
blew over, however. The most i'm
portant matter brought before the con
ference was embodied in a resolution
providing for the appointment of com
mission to prepare n new constitution.
The shortness of the session was owing
to the delay of the committees in pre-
pairing their reports.

be maintained, and, in consequence are
opposed to the free, unlimited and indepen-
dent coinage of silver at a ratio of is to l.

ST. JOSEPH, No, May l3.-The Filley

the longest and most bitter contests on
record. The fight began before the con-
ventiOn met, the Kerens faction hay
ing secured the keys of the opera house
ana refusing to admit any one until
filley would consent TO compromise.
For over two hours the delegates stood
III the hot sun, cursing alternately Fill
ley and kerens.
a little after ~ O'Clock q crowd of
men wearing Filley hats congregated in
the rear of the theater and attempted
to smash III the door. They used bat

phOncd for the police and a patrol
wagon full of officers was sent. The

a Compromise Agreed On.
While the delegates i'll the street
raved the leaders Of the two factions
met behind closed doors and finally
reached an agreement The doors We're
then opened and the delegates allowed
TO enter. The Filleyites claimed the
victory and said their boss was allowed

was noticed that the Kerens delegates
We're allowed to enter the building.
After delay of three hours Chair
man Filley called the convention TO Or
der at p. m. and Major BarthOld was
chosen temporary chairman. Commit
tees on credentials, permanent organiza
tion and resolutions were then ap.
pointed. but it was not until after II
o'clock at night that the committee on
credentials was ready to report and the
convention was finally called to order.
The committee submitted two reports,
the majority favoring the Filley delega-
tionS and the minority favoring the
seating of all the cOntesting delegations
and dividing the vote
Between the Two Factions.
1 ne majority report was auopteu Will

business recommended the election first
of a state chairman, the nomination of
state officers afterwards, and, as the
final business OF the convention the
election of delegates to the national
convention. This report was unani-
mously adopted.
From this time Oh the convention was
practically in the hands of the Filley
party. The temporary organization was
made permanent. The only disappoint-
ment which the Filley men met was
the losing of one of the state commit
teemen at large. The selection of
chairman of the state central committee
was awarded to Mr.. Filley by acclama-
ton, and to crown his victory, he was
elected delegate at large to the national
convention.
