"ACRIsIs HAS COME"

Nothing yet comes out clear and dis
tinct from the chaos and hurly burly
at Chicago. The situation is full of
the possibilities of dramatic surprise,
on every point saye the vital one. And
on that point-the success of the free
silver faction-the surprise dates back
only about couple of months.
In the list of Democratic Presidential
possibilities published three or four
months ago, only one of the men who
are to-day prominent was mentioned.
That one is Governor Matthews, of In
diana, and his chance is believed to be
small. Who thought seriously, then,
of Boies, or Bland, or Stone, or Nc
Lean? The names that were on the
lips of men as they talked oyer the
prospects were Whitney, Pattison, Rus
sell, Campbell Hill and even Olney.
How far away that time seems now!
The fact is the politicians haye been
utterly in the dark, for a year or
more-and all that time the silver agi-
tation has been quietly but constantly
fed by pamphlets and books and news
papers. Democratic leaders awoke
from their fancied security too late.
The control of the convention had been
lost to them before they realized that
any fight had been made.
Naturally enough, with the conven-
tion in the hands of free silver men,
the free silver apostles are those to be
honored.
"a crisis has come to the party" says
Senator Hill 1t came long time ago.
1t came on October %, 1898, when the
Voorhees, amendment received 2S votes,
all but half dozen of which were
Democratic. 1t was only near-sighted
men who did not see what that vote
meant.
Then was when the crisis that cul
inmates in Chicago began.-Com. Trib

FORTY YEARS IN THE PEN.
HiIdreth and His. Youthful Companions We're
Given Light Sentence for Wrecking
Train.

Rome, N. Y, May Sat 1890 o'clock
this morning the jury in the case of John
Watson Hildreth, one of the boys who
wrecked the New York Central express,
returned a verdict of murder in the Sec
ond degree. In reaching this conclusion
four ballots were taken. The court took
a recess until IL a. m. today, when Judge
McClennan sentenced Hildreth to the
Auburn prison for life. In passing the
sentence the judge said he thought the
jury had dealt very leniently with Hill
dreth; they might have convicted him of
the highest crime known to law. He
said Hildreth's crime was terrible one
under our civilization, almost as bad as
poisoning the streams that came from
the hillsides. Hildreth stood up and re-
ceived his sentence without finching, but
ther his eyes filled with tears and his
lip trembled perceptibly.
AS soon as Hiidreth had been sentenced
he was taken back to Jail and few mini
utes thereafter Theo Hibbard and the
other indicted train wreckers were
brought into court. BY the advice of
their counsel, Mr.. Sayles, they withdrew
their former pleas of not guilty of mur-
der in the first degree and pleaded guilty
to manslaughter in the first degree on
each of the two indictments against them
for causing the deaths of Engineer Ha-
ger and Robert Bond. Mr.. Sayles asked
for clemency for the boys. Judge Nc
Clennan then sentenced the prisoners to
forty years each in the Auburn state
prison-twentyy years on each Indictment
The prisoners were very pale and SEEM
ed much downcast, but shed no tears.

CLERKS FOR CONGRESSMEN

hibit the Issue of United States Bonds

Congress.
JUST AS THE SENATE CLERKS
HAS BEEN CONSIDERED BY THE stNATI

Washington, May S.-After several
years discussion and as many unsuc-
cessful attempts members of the house
today voted 130 to 10S to place themselves
on an equality with the senate in respect
to the matter of providing themselves
with clerks the year round instead of for
the sessions of congress only. 1t was not
until 1895 the house even went so far as
that. Today's action was preceded by an
animated debate of an hour or more. The
principal opposition to the resolution in
troduced by Mr. Hartman, republican,
of Montana, and reported by the COM
mittee on accounts without recommen-
dation, was upon the ground that the
treasury was not in condition to meet
the increased expense, but two or three
members suggested that the services of
clerks were not needed. The resolution
was mainly advocated by Messrs, Hart
man and Henderson, republican, of Iowa.
Before being passed the resolution was
amended so as to exclude representa-
tives who are chairmen of committees
having annual clerks.
= Among the bills passed during the ses-
sion were the following:
To quit titles of land in Arendondo
grant, Columbia county Florida, and
At 4:30 o'clock the house took recess
until o'clock, the evening session to be
for the consideration of private pension
bills At the close of that session the
house will adjourn until Monday.
The Senate.
Among the dozen or more bills which
were passed by the senate today because
they were unobjected to was one per-
mitting the erection in Washington of a
n1Onl1mpnf honor Samuel
man, founder of the medical school of ho-
moeopathy and appropriating $4,000 to de-
fray the cost of the foundation. The only
restriction imposed in the bill is that the
monument Is not to be placed in the capi-
tol grounds.
States bonds without authority of con-
gress was introduced by Mr.. Bacon, dem~
ocrat of Georgia, and laid on the table
for the present, Mr.. Bacon stating that
he desired hereafter to address the sem
ate upon it,
bor bill was concluded with the exception
of one amendment, involving the bitterly
contested question of the location of a
deep water harbor in southern Califor-
MIA. The committee on commerce re-
ported an amendment to the bill provid-
ing for a breakwater and outer harbor
at Santa Monica, while the two senators
from California and Mr.. McLachlan, the
representative from the Los Angeles dis
trict, opposed that location and favored
the selection of San Pedro. having on
their side of the question the representa-
tives of two boards of army engineers
specially sent out to examine the matter,
Senator White, democrat, of California,
addressed the senate in opposition to. the
committee amendment and had not fin
ished his argument when the senate at
5:15 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow.

WHO is STILL VERY ILL

AT THE MONTGOMERY BABY SHOW
Governor Has Pardoned Thomas
Rivers and George Green, Col
ored, and Madison Wilson.

Montgomery, May S.-(Special.) )-The
preliminary trial of Sheriff Kennedy of
Dallas county, charged with the murder
of Percy Wood of Selma and assault
with intent to murder Hon. Mardis
Wood, brother of the deceased, has been
continued until the 18th of this month,
owing to the enforced absence of Mardis
Wood, who is still very Ill with the wound
he received. Messrs. Pettus and Pitts of
Selma and Mr.. A. d. Sayre of this city,
the attorneys for the defendant, attempt
ed to secure his release on ball. but JUS
tice Screws insisted that he could not re-
lease Mr.. Kennedy until a preliminary
hearing could be had. Mr.. Woods condi-
tion is still serious and 1t is probable that
he will not be able to come here and tes-
tify on the 18th. In the meantime Mr.
Kennedy is being made as comfortable
as possible in the jail and every courtesy
is being shown him by the officials of the
county and by his friends.

WOMAN CAUSED IT.
The Meeting of the Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church Was Anything
but Harmonious.

Cleveland, o., May S-The meeting of
the general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church this morning was ex-
citing. Bishop Hurst presided. Rev. DR..
King of New York presented resolution
deploring any state appropriations for
sectarian purposes. The resolution re-
cited in strong terms that all denomina-
tions save one had declined to receive
moneys for Indian schools, and demand
ed that this "co-partnership between a
church and the ma ton be dissolved at
once"
DIR. King explained that the house of
representatives had declined to further
continue the appropriations for certain
UNCONVENTIONAL Indian schools, and that
the sena te had insisted on their continu-
ance. The ma tier was now in the hands
of the conferees.
DR.. Kings resolution was almost unan-
imously passed.
Morris Sharp of Ohio brought up the
woman question by offering a resolution
providing that as the women delegates
elected to this conference had relin-
pushed their seats, that their expenses
be paid and that their male reserves, II
any, be called.
Rev. DIR. Leonard made fervid speech
against the passage of the resolution.
"These women 1t has been decided" he
d.
and as such their expenses must be paid
without any resolution. l hope the con-
ference will vote this resolution down"
Great excitement prevailed, and many
delegates struggled to get the floor. An
attempt to lay the resolution on the table
was defeated.
Rev Or. Neeley of Philadelphia pre-
sented substitute for the resolution,
asking that the women delegates. who
had obtained the right of admission to
this conference come to the floor as Wis.,
itors ana that their expenses be paid by
the committee.
Rev. Dr. Earl Cranston of Colorado
made the point of order against DR.. Nee
ley's resolution on the ground that 1t
stated that four women claimed admis-
sion, when as matter of fact the ,ques-
tipn of their right to sit In this confer
ence was unquestioned. Bishop Hurst
refused to entertain the point of order.
DR.. Cranston appealed to the, floor. and
the bishop decided that he had been .sus-
tained. Then followed the greatest ex.
citement of the conference. Al dozen men
demanded attention aud delegates de-
clared that they did not uuderst aud what
they were voting on. Rev. DR. William
M Frysinger of central sPennsylvania
said that he had appealed TO the floor
and that the appeal had been stated as
having come from DIR. Grams! on. there
fore the members had not voted intelli-

gently He demanded that his appeal be
put. Bishop Hurst refused TO let the con-
ference act on the appeal, and amid the
utmost confusion DR.. F'rysinger cried
out, IF / can't get justice on this floor
will resign" He was greeted with cheers.
Bushop Hurst said that DR.. Neeley had
the floor to speak on his resolution. DIR.
Kynett said that DIR. Neeley had no right
to the floor until DR. Frysinger's appeal
had been put. The bishop ruled other
wise.
DIR. Kynett, his face flushed with an
ger, jumped to the floor and demanded
that Dr. Neeley resume his seat and let
the house decide whether DIR. Neeley had
the floor or the appeal be put. An hun
dred voices backed Dr. Kynett and the
chair was compelled to put the appeal of
Rev. DR.. Frysinger. The house sustain
ed the bishop and DR.. Neeley tried to
speak on his resolution. DR.. Kynett de-
manded that both resolutions be read.
When the reading had subsided DIR.
Cranston made the point of order that
his resolution. DR.. Neeley admitted that
he had Bishop Hurst said that he must
restore the wording of the resolution.
BY this time everybody was excited
and dozen angry delegates in all parts
of the house were vainly trying to get
the floor During the confusion both res
olutions were withdrawn and the incl
dent closed.
Bishop Taylor, the missionary bishop
from Africa, delivered his report. In part
he said: "All can say for Africa is that,
as for missionary work, we do for the
blacks what we would do for.the whites.
In regard to our work in Africa / will say
that If this conference shall decide that
the time has come to put all the African
missions under the control of the mis-
sionary society I shall make no objee-
ton. Only make your decision on the
subject decisive"
Bishop Thoburn of India and Asia read
his report. He said: "In general terms
we have abundant reason to thank God
for our prosperity during the last four
years. We have gained two annual con-
ferences and eleven presiding elder dis
tricts. We now have twenty-four dis
trict conferences. Our preachers now
speak sixteen languages, three more than
four years ago, and by the end of the
century they may be expected to preach
in twenty different languages. Four
years ago our total number of converts
was $4,000 souls; now it is over 100, 900.
We now have 22,249 Sunday schools and
II 1913 scholars, an increase of S73 schools
and 21,712 pupils. The Epworth league
has made it's first appearance among us
since my last report, and we now have
1874 leagues and 6555 members. We have
over 200 natives studying for the minis
try"
