PASTOR CLEVELAND oUsrED.
A Split in the Flock of the PresI-
dents BROTHER

Watertown. N. Y, April 15-when the
st. Lawrence presbytery. in session here
yesterday afternoon, adopted the report
of a committee recommending the dissolu-
tion Of the relations between Rev. w. N.
Cleveland, brother of the President, and
the church at Chaumont, Of which he has
been pastor, II was supposed that the
Chaumont church troubles were ended.
Pastor Cleveland, however, Is proving
himself a stubborn fighter. He has enter
ed a protest TO the presbytery against the
dissolution of the pastoral relations, on
the ground that II Is against the will of
the majority OF the congregation, involves
the conformation of palpable offences
against the church, turns over the church
TO the control Of a party unworthy to rule
and without suitable influence In the COM
munity, and is against the true interests
of religion and the church.
The presbytery entered the protest upon
its minutes with statement that in so do
ing i does not assent to the validity of the
position assumed by Mr.. Cleveland, and
here the matter rests at present.

Mckinley, declares in favor of protection
and reciprocity, in favor Of the election Of
senators by direct vote of the people, de-
nOunces the democrats for increasing the
public debt, expresses sympathy for Cuba,
and on the financial question says: The
republicans of North Dakota are united in
their demand for honest money. We are
unalterably opposed to any scheme that
will give to this country a deprecated
or debased currency. We favor the use
of silver as currency, but TO the extent
only and under such restrictions that its
parity with gold can be maintained. We
are, therefore, opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, until it can be
arranged by international agreement"

Kingston. Jamaica. April s-The Hay
tien refugees here. who were but lately
deep in a conspiracy looking to the over
throw Of President Hippolyte, are over
toyed at the announcement that the new
chief OF state, Simon Sam. will shortly is
sue a decree of universal amnesty.

only allowed themselves TO be drawn into

parent means OF speedily returning to
their country. At heart they care little

The untimely death OF President Hippo

the whole aspect OF affairs. All sober

embrace the opportunity to bury the
hatchet. only Manigat, who seems de-

anybody else's administration.
The fire of revolution Is, therefore, only
smouldering, and al the first favorable

TWO DESPERATE PRISONERS.
A Plot TO Escape During Their Trial
Discovered by the Police.


Chicago, April 15.-The trial of Windrath
and Malnow for the murder of Cashier
Birch of the West Chicago Street Rail-
way Company, which has been in prog
ress for several days in Judge Hurtons
court, has attracted attention from the
fact that an attempt to rescue the pros
oners was anticipated by the police. For
several days no one has been admitted to
the court room except persons having
business there, and the prisoners have
been searched daily for weapons. To-day,
Jailer Brotheau, in making the usual
search, found over a pound of red pepper
concealed in Windrath's clothing. This
was to have been used to blind the court
officers. 1t is also said that three wo-
men who visited the court room were
searched and each found to have a re-
volver. The police claim that these
weapons were to be handed to the pris-
oners at a given signal and they would
then have made a break for liberty,
fighting their way out of the court room.
The discovery of the red pepper spoiled
the plan, and the precautions from this
time forward will be stricter than ever.
