HARRISBURG, Pa, April 23.-Repre-
sentatives of the Republicans of Penn
sylvania assembled here in convention
today and formally launched the boom
of United States Senator NJ. S. Quay
for the presidential nomination. This
feat was accomplished amid scenes of
much turbulence. Men ordinarily Sc
date lost their tempers and said harsh
things to each other and at least one
distinguished gentleman made demon
STATIONS of violence. The violent scenes
were the result of the efforts of the
anti-Quay delegates to secure the adop-
ton of resolution naming Mckinley
as the second choice. After an excit-
ing debate the proposition was defeat
ed by vote of 17S to Go.
The convention nominated the slated
candidates for congressman at large
and selected the delegates and electors
at large named by last nights caucus.
The platform, drawn up by Senator
Quay's friends was adopted without
material change. In fact, it was a
Quay convention all through although
those opposed to him made things live
ly on the floor of the convention and in
committee room.

Willis, Statement.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-Albert S.
Willis, minister from this country to the
Hawaiian republic, arrived from Homo
lulu today. He says that he is in i'll
health, and with his family will so to
his old home in Louisville to spend his
three months leave of absence. He de-
MES absolutely the stories that he is
persona non grata with the Hawaiian
people or government, and says that he
was not summoned to Washington upon
any complaint of the Hawaiian govern
ment, and that no reproof has been given
by Secretary Olney for any act of his in
Honolulu.
Mr. Willis says he has received moth
ing but kindness from the Hawaiians,
and declares positively that he will re-
turn to his post at Honolulu at the eX-
piration OF his furlough. THE report
that / sighted the Hawaiians on Wash
lngton's birthday" said Mr.. Willis, sis
absolutely untrue. l entertained no one
at dinner on that day, but President
Dole of his own volition sent the govern
rnent band TO my home to play during
the evening. So far as my failure to OBJ
serve the Hawaiian republic anniversary
on January H. is concerned. that is a
matter which l will discuss only with the
state department. My position in declin-
ing to participate in the celebration was
the result of my careful consideration of
the orders under which l am instructed
to represent the United States at Ha-
wall beyond the reach of the telegraph
wire, and where must often act with
out any special consultation with the
secretary of state

OPPOSING GUEiRnLAs.
WeyIer Expresses Himself to a Corr
respondent.

NEW YORK, April 23.-A dispatch
to the World from Havana says:
General WeyIer is opposing the guer-
lila warfare by an almost geometric
plan. In an interview with your cor
respondent the general said:
''Maceo will never cross the trocha
except as a prisoner. The day he at
tacks the trocha he will fall or be cap
tured. 1t is utterly impossible for him
to come eastward. L have a strong
force on the whole lire and also have
a large party of troops between Ma
ceo's position in the northern mount
aims and the trocha.''
But Maceo is on the east side of
the barrier. Suppose the two brothers
should attack the line from different
sides at different points on the same
day?''
"Ah,' replied General Weyler. II have
a strong force on this side which keeps
Jose Maceo's men divided into small
bands and they cannot unite for such
a maneuvre.
why do you not attempt to force
Maceo to a decisive battle now?"
''Naceo will not stand and fight
the general answered. Il have several
important columns which keep him
moving about the hills"
But you cannot surround him? He
is apparently confined to a small dis
trict."
WELL" explained General Weyler,
chat would simply mean chasing Ma
Geo through the whole province. 1 do
not propose to have my main forces
drawn forward from the trocha. 1 want
the insurgents to attack the line"

bration at the American legation.

NOT JUST YET.
Territorial Delegates Will Not Push
Their Claims For Al Short Time,
at Least.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-There is a
strong probability that the delegates from
the territories who have the statehood
bills in charge will not attempt to secure
congressional action until next session.
a canvass of the house since the New
Mexico and Arizona bills were reported,
and encountered obstacles which lead
them to believe the bills will command
more votes next session imam the present
one.
The. efforts of Republican leaders to
bring about an early adjournment have
to be, taken into consideration, and the
delegates do not care to have the bills
rushed through a conference of the house
or senate when they adjourn.
1t is expected the committees on ter
ritories will report the Oklahoma state
hood bill this week.
Delegates Flynn, Catron and Murphy
declare they expect to stand or fall to-
gether.

BRO. BROWNS CASE.
His Pulpit Will BE Declared Vacant
Next Wednesday,.

Next Wednesday,.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-When
the people of the First Congregational
church meet next Wednesday night
for their weekly service of prayer they
will vote upon a resolution to declare
the pulpit vacant. If the Rev. Dr.
Brown be thus summary retired from
the pastorate, steps will be taken to
provide for a supply on the pulpit
until the trustees can elect a successor
to the reverend gentleman who now
occupies the pulpit. If the resolution
fails of adoption, no one knows what
the next step in the controversy will
be. Some suggest an appeal to the
civil courts to retire the reverend Dr.
Brown from a position which his OPP
ponents claim he has no right to fill
as a discredited minister of the Con-
gregational church. Others advise in
such contingency the calling of an
ecclesiastical council to depose him.
an argument being made that as a
council ordained him, a council must
depose him.
DR.. Brown led the prayer meeting
last night and announced that ne
would preach next Sunday.

The BRIAN Murder.

NEWPORT, KY, April 2S.-The
courtroom was again crowded today
at the continuation Of the trial Of Scott
Jackson. Attorney Crawford, for the
defense, moved to strike out all that
portion of Mayor Caldwells testimony
which contained Walling's statements
to the mayor of what defendant Jack
son had said to Walling. The court
took the motion under Amusement.
Drs. Jenkins and Fishback testified
that the blood of the body Of a person
dying from any other cause than blood
letting would coagulate in one to seven
minutes, and it would have been i'm
possible to have emptied the dead body
of blood as was Pearl Bryan's by de-
capitation after death. At the noon
recess a crowd was on the street where
they could see Jackson going back to
JAIL One man putting his hands to
his mouth shouted: This day we hang
you, Jackson"
Even in court mutterings were heard
as the crowd was dispensing.
The testimony by Mayor Caldwell yes
terday which the defence desired stricken
out, was that part in which he related
that when Walling and Jackson were
brought together before him in private,
Wallng said in Jacksons hearing that
Jackson had told him of his
TROUBLE WITH PEARL BRYAN,
that he proposed to kill her with some
quick poison, cut her body UP and drop
it in the sewer, piecemeal. Jackson then
spoke up: "Walling, how can you talk
that way; you know you killed her"
Then each accused the other. Attorney
Crawford argued this was using Walling
as a witness against Jackson, with
whom he was jointly indicted, which is
inadmissable in Kentucky courts.
Judge Helm delivered his decision at
the opening of the afternoon session. He
said: I'm reference to striking out the
portion of Mayor Caldwells testimony
about Walling's statement in Jackson 5
presence, you will determine by Jack
in Jackson's presence, his own know
ledge of the crime. and
HIS COMPLETELY IN IT,
whether this conduct was equivalent to
an admission by jackson of his own guilt
or completely in the crime"
The defense has taken numerous ex-
ceptions to the rulings of the court. Col
onel Crawford has fifty exceptions.
OF the nine witnesses examined in the
afternoon, the testimony of Mrs. Bryan,
When asked how she was able to iden-
tify the headless girl, sent to Green

mother to be deceived about recognize
ing her own child"
She identified blood-stained garments,
shoes and trinkets as those of her muir
dered child. She also testified that Pearl
had never been from home except on a
three months trip with her to Kansas;
that Scott Jackson was seldom visitor
