1t is understood from the same sources
that General Lee is in no respect dissatis-

CHRISTIAN CONVEN TON,
Annual Meeting of the Young

the World.
The "Paris Basis" of Membership
Known as the Portland Test
Is Adopted.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, Aug. 14.-An
important meeting of the International
committee of the Y. M. G. A. of the world
closed it's sessions in Geneva last night
This committee is appointed by the
worlds convention, which represents all
the associations, now numbering 500,
with a total mem bership of 500, 600. of
which 140G associations, with 265, 900 mem
bers, are in America. Encouraging re-
ports of the work in various countries were
presented, showing marked progress since
the jubilee convention in London in 1894.
A number of important questions relat-
ing to the growth and improvement OF the
work, more particularly in Continental
countries, were carefully consider d.
Among the resolutions passed was one
adopting the "Paris basis" of mem bership,
which was adopted by convention held
in Paris In 1885, and which is known to
association men in America as the Port
land test of active mem bership. The Paris
basis is recognized by all the associations
affiliated in the worlds alliance, but is
practically disregarded in some Cont
mental countries, WHARF nominal member
ship IN the state church is substituted for
it. 1t was voted to hold the next worlds
conference in Basle, Switzerland, in Au-

DIES At VIRGINIA CITY.
Robert p. Heating. Mine Superintendent and
Politician, Succumbs to Typhoid
Fever

VIRGINIA CITY, New. Aug. a.
Robert P. Keating, superintendent of the
Savage, Justice and other Comstock
mines, who has been leader of the Demo-
cratic party in the State of Nevada for
twenty years and one of the best-known
men on the Pacific Coast. died at o. clock
last night from hemorrhage of the
stomach.
Mr. Keatlng went to the Chicago
National Convention at the head of the
contesting delegation from Nevada. His
efforts to have that delegation seated, to-
gether with the debilitat1ng influence of
the Chicago climate, SO taxed his energies
as to bring on serious attack of typhoid
fever. After leaving the Chicago con-
vention he went to Niagara, ana then TO
New York, where he remained for a few
DAYS and then started on his return home
He was greatly fatigued, and seemed to be
suffering from nervous collapse after the
excitement OF his convention work. When
he reached home two weeks ago he was
very Ill, and failed steadily until last
night when hemorrhage, superinduced
by severe attack of vomiting, killed him.
The body is to be taken to San Fran
cisco, and will be accompanied by num-
Der of Nevada citizens, friends of the
Keating family. The eortege will start
from the residence of Mrs. M. o. O'SuIli-
van, corner of Bush and Leayenworth
Streets and will proceed to st. Igne thus
Church, where the funeral sermon will be
preached at 1880 o'clock Sunday morning.

PORTLAND WOMAN SOLD
Disposed OF by Her Husband to
a Neighbor for Cash and
Chatte]s.
She Objects to the Transfer and Fees
From the Home of Her
Purchaser.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 14.-Franz
Proetzich and Hermann Spannacher, the
heads OF two Bohemian families which
recently located in Sullivans Gulch, are
at loggerheads because of the out
come of peculiar commercial
transaction. These people came from
Seattle three months ago and engaged in
peddling. Both couples were childless,
and about six weeks ago Mrs. Spannacher
packed up her small belongings one night
and fed with countryman of hers,
several years her junior. whom she had
known on the sound.
Spannacher made no ado over his wife S
deserticn, and it subsequently became
known that for long time his affections
had been centered upon Mrs. Proetzlich.
Less than three weeks ago the two ped
dlers entered into strange commercial
transaction. Spannacher made Proetzlich
an offer OF $3.50 and all his stock in trade
for the latter's wife. This, after a few
hours deliberation, was accepted. The
papers were made out. Mrs. Proetzlich,
without a murmur, passed from the Gus
tody of her lawful husband to that of the
other man.
This state of affairs glided along smooth
ly until last Wednesday, when she refused
to live longer with her new "owner" and
returned to her husband. Spannacher' s
pleadings with the woman having no eff
feet upon her. he came to the West Side
this morning to cause the arrest of Proetz-
Itch for obtaining money and goods from
him under false pretenses. Spannacher
claims that his human chattel professed
to have great affection for him, which he
had no reason to doubt until the woman
deserted him. He further alleges that he
is the victim of conspiracy b,tween both
Spannacher, though, was advised to
pocket his loss without making fuss
about it, else he might get himself into
more serious trouble. The dupe took ths
hint and there at present rests the story of
his second love.

SEARCH IN FRESNO HILLS
Officers and Loggers Still on the
Trail of Murderer Cass
Colvin.
One Party Intent on a Lynching an1
the Other Striving to Pre-.
vent It..

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 14.-Cass Colvin,
the cutthroat who murdered his brother
in-law, Robert L. lotion, at Sequoia
Mills on Tuesday evening, is still at large.
A telephone message received at 8 o'clock
tonight from the mills stated that, as far
as known there, no trace of the fugitive
had been found. The fury of the loggers
over the atrocious murder has abated
somewhat, and this morning they went
back to work again, after having kept the
mills closed for two days while they
searched for the murderer with the
avowed intention of lynching him. The
foreman of the loggingc camp and the
superintendent of the mills have each de-
tailed a number of men to continue the
pursuit. The pacification of the loggers
has not by any means lessened their de-
termination to lynch Colvin if they can
get their hands onto him.
Deputy Sheriff Timmins and Constable
Ingels are prosecuting the search on horse
back and are now in Sampson Flat, this
side of the mills. They are confident tn at
Colvin is making his way to the valley
with the purpose of getting out of the
country by stealing rides on the railroad.

near the sawmiiIs, which he would have
tc do to strike the road which leads to the
valley. The officers are confident that
Colvin took roundabout trail which
leads through Sampson Flat and the Little
and Big Deer Valleys, and they are follow
ing this course.
The Deputy Sheriff and constable would
not allow any of the loggers to accompany
them. They will try to get the murderer,
if they catch him, out of the mountains
before the loggers can hear of it, and save
him from lynching.
Deputy District Attorney Williams re-
turned to-day from the scene of the MUIR
der. whittier he went to gather testimony.
He says that the fury of the loggers over
the murder was awful for two days after
the tragedy. The wife of the murderer
was raving maniac, and the wife of the
murdered man was almost distracted, and
this aroused the anger of all the men to
high pitch. They are all the rough men
of logging camps, and their treatment of
Colvin, if they had captured him, would
undoubtedly have bordered ON the bar
baric.

Dillon and BoaUmGn Lead In the Race
for the Congregational Nomination..
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, Aug. a.
Populists of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict have gathered in San Luis Obispo to
nominate candidate for Congress. Los
Angeles is supplying the largest crop of
aspirants for the honor. It's candidates
are: W. c. Bowman, the candidate of two
years ago; H. G. Dillon and Judge A. J..
Utley. Dillon. and Bowman are in the
lead.
Utley is an old man. much esteemed for
his work in the cause of Populism in Los
Angeles County. He favors Dillon. but in
the event that Bowman develops more
strength he has a little bee in his bonet
which will be allowed to buzz the query,
How would do for a compromise candi-
date?" Utley is making war on Bowman,
whose nomination, he believes, would be
grave mistake. Hon. Thomas v. Gator
addressed the delegates tonight. He pre-
dicted that If Mckinley was elected war
would follow before another Presidential
election.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-15

dicted the nomination of Mckinley on the
first ballot at st. Louis. That prediction
had been fulfilled, and he now predicted
his triumphant election in Novem Der, a
sentiment which was cheered to the echo.
The great Music Hall was packed to the
do ors long before the speaking began,
many ladies being present. Large litho.
graphs of Washington and Lincoln fianked
the platform, while splendid portrait OF
the champion of protection seemed to
smile down upon the assemblage from
above and back OF the large numb ber
OF vice. presidents who had seats upon the
stage.
Many leading Democrats were in the
audience. Cheer after cheer was given
the whlte-haired veterans of the civil war
as they walked to the platform.
Colonel K. B. Treat was the chairman OF
the evening, and Congressman MoLach-
Ian, recently nominated to succeed him.
self, was the principal speaker. The ap-
plause was tremendous when the orator
arose to speak. In a distinct and delib-
crate manner he placed himself squarely
upon the st. Louis platform, for protec-
tion and sound money, amid the widest
enthusiasm. Mr.. McLachlan was fol-
lowed by District Attorney Donnell and
others.
1t was great demonstration, and gave
the most gratifying encouragement to the
people present.
