Southern Baptist Convention.
LOUISVILLE. KY, May II, 1899.

14Ol lSt Lilly h1., NuCy IL, 1Oou.
Dear IW. Editor: Perhaps your read
ers would like to hear word from the
meeting of the Southern Baptist Con-
tion, now in session in Louisville, Ky.
We came by the Southern Railroad,
and were very much pleased with the
routes. One way lay along by Atlanta,
Chattanooga and Lexington to Louis
vile The scenes from Lexington to
Louisville is beautiful. The sun shonc
bright on the large trees that stood by
the road side or in the fine pasture
lands, and spread their shadows on the
beautiful blue grass as it sparkled with
the morning dew. Here and there
great herds Of horses, COWS and sheep
strolled over the rich vallies Of grass,
we'll watered with small streams and
springs. There were small towns given
solely to the distilling OF liquors. One
still or one firm, is said to use 5000
bushels of corn day and runs nine
months in the year. This whis-
key flows into Louisville and
makes it the second largest whiskey
market in the United States. This
proud city, which is beautifully situa-
ted on the Ohio River, claims to have
the largest manufacture and sale Of
tobacco in the world The inhabitants,
which number about 100000, are divid
ed into three classes, Northeners,
Southeners and foreigners. With all,
it makes a fine combination, possessing
the integrity and courtesy Of the South
and the vim and push Of the North.
The Southern Baptist Seminary, the
largest Seminary in the United States,
and the largest Baptist Seminary in the
world, is located on Fifth and Broad
way streets, and is the pride OF the
denomination. The conventional SER
mon tonight by DR.. Truit, Of Texas,
was one Of the best ever preached be-
fore the convention.
Respectfully,
r. J. WILLIAMS.

of the apparent tendency toward en-
largemcnt or reduction ofacrcage. In

tion OF acreage, with corresponding
decrease in the sale of fertilizers and
increased acreage in various food
crops.

Ready to go to Manila.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 12.-Gen.
Joe Wheeler is in Chattanooga, where
he met. the river and harbor committee
OF Congress tonight to go with the
members down the Tennessee River.
The committee is looking at the river
with a view Of making recommended
tions rs to an appropriation to carry on
necessary work and develop the river.
Gen. Wheeler gave out an interview
to-day, in which he criticised Speaker
Reed for his failure to recognize him
on the floor of the House the last day
of the session. He said: "That was
part and parcel of Reeds assumption
Of authority which the Constitution did
not give him. The Constitution states
that the House shall be judge of the
election and qualification OF its men,
bers. This. means that the majority
vote shall determine this question by a
vote of more than 2to 1. They refused
to even consider the question of declar-
ing the seat vacant, and even after
that Mr.. Reed, in direct violation OF the
Constitution, assumed to decide this
question for himself But that was
all right, am still here; it did not
hurt me.'
Gen. Wheeler will resign from Con-
press if he is sent to the Philippines for
active service as general in the regu-
lar army In regard to the matter he
said:
81 will do just what the President
tells NE to do in regard to my seat in
Congress. If he says for me to go to
Manila with the army and there are no
signs OF peace, | will resign from Con-
gress. otherwise | will retain my seat
in the next House of Representatives.
II would like to sec active service
very much; in fact, it is my only desire.
/ want to so to the Philippines and
help whip the insurgents there.
Talking of the Confederate Reunion,
Gen. Wheeler said:
"ltis pleasant to sec that thirty-four
years after the close of the war Con-
fcderatc Veterans and their sons are
more cordial and earnest in their sup
port of the Government than people in
some of the other localities. The peo-
pie of the South were carncstin asking
for service in the field, and it is graft
flying to know the Government has not
been embarrassed by any criticism
from the Southern people. and that no
Southern Governor has asked for the
discharge and return home Of olll vol
untccr soldiers. 1t is also gratifying
to sec that when Governors of other
States have made such requests. South
ern people have begged to be allowed
to take their place in the front of the
battle ..vNcw York Tribune.

MEXICAN ORANGE WORM.
Steps Taken to Prevent It's Invas-
ion Into California.

LOS ANGELES, Nov 9-Informa-
ton has been filed with the Chamber
of Commerce here that the pest known
as the Mexican orange worm is gaining
great Roadway in the orange groves in
Old Mexico.
The press of Southern California has
taken up the battle in behalf of the
orange industry to prevent the whole
sale destruction and despoilment of the
orange orchards in this part of Cali
fornia. Hundreds of cars of Mexican
oranges are being shipped to Chicago,
Kansas City. Denver, st. Louis and
New York, and from those points re-
distributed to smaller centers.
The information is to the effect that
the Mexican oranges this year are to
a greater extent infested with the worm
than in past seasons. 1t is admitted
that no Mexican oranges are shipped
to Los Angeles. but the menace to the
American industry consists in shipping
goods to Southern California in such
cars as have been used in the Mexican
traffic.
So serious is this matter that decided
action on the part of growers will be
taken, and the State Horticultural Com
mission and the railroads will be asked
to aid in keeping the pest from invading

STORAGE OF FLOOD WATERS
San Francisco Delegates to Conven-
ton Hold a Meeting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-The San
Francisco delegation to the convention
to be held next week under the call of
the California Association for the Stor-
age of Flood Waters met this evening
at the Palace Hotel and made prelim-
mary arrangements for the convention,
which will be called to order next Tues
day morning.
Incidentally the subject of the oppo-
sition of the delegates from Southern
California to the State plan was dis
cussed.
President Thomas said there were
points in the National Irrigation Asso-
cations plan upon which the advo-
Gates of the State plan could agree. He
believed that all were agreed that it
was advisable to get from the Govern
ment all that the Government would
give, but he reiterated that the Coy
eminent has no ownership of the water
in a stream nor does it own the bed of
the stream, and that all its rights, con-
stitutionally, in the matter is to regu-
late navigation between States and
with foreign countries; ALSO that if the
Government were to construct storage
reservoirs for the purpose of maintain
ing the levels of rivers, there could be
no help for irrigators from that source
The meeting was well attended. Chief
Justice Beatty presided

NEW POINTS PASSED UPON.
Supreme Court Decision Involving
a Case of Habeas Corpus.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-The Su-
preme Court has handed down a decis :
ion involving a case of habeas corpus
in which points were raised that have
never been judicially passed upon be-
fore.
In the insane asylum at Napa is g
man named Hugh Buchanan, who had
been committed by the Superior Court
of Yuba County pending his trial upon
charge of murder. A petition for ha-
beas corpus was then presented to
Judge E. D. Ham of the Superior Court
of Napa, setting forth that the patient
had recovered his sanity, and was en-
titled to be discharged from the asylum
and redelivered into the custody of the
Sheriff of Yuba to be placed on trial
Judge Ham issued the writ. making
it returnable before the acting Judge
,, of the court, who was Judge Joseph p.
Jones Of Contra Costa County.
Superintendent DR.. A. M. Gardner OF
the Napa Asylum made return of the
writ, showing the commitment of Blu
chanan, whom he alleged had not re-
covered his sanity. He claimed that
Buchanan cannot be delivered to the
Sheriff of Yuba County, except upon
the certificate of the Superintendent OF
the asylum showing that the patient
had recovered his sanity.
Judge Jones decided that the Super
intendent's point was not we'll made
and insisted upon the command of the
writ being complied with.
. In an opinion, written by Commits
sioner Chapman, the decision of Judge
Jones is sustained, and Justice McFar-
land, in a concurring paragraph, adds
that the right to the benefits of habeas
. corpus is sacred, and cannot be
abridged.

AGUINALDO.
The Rebel Leader Located on His
Way to Boambang.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The War
Department definitely located Agui-
naldo to-day as on his way to the town
of Boambang, about seventy five miles
northeast of Tarlac.
The recent calculations have been
that the insurgent leader was at the
town of Bayambang. near Tarlac. in
which case the several forces under
General Young and General Wheaton
would have had him practically sur
rounded. There has been some doubt,
however, as to the name Bayambang,
and to-day this was cleared up by de-
finite information fixing Boambang, in
stead of Bayambang, as the place of
Aguinaldo's refuge.
A dispatch from General Otis men
toned Boambang and at the same time
reliable information came through other
channels that Lieutenant Gilmore and
other American prisoners were at
Boambang, in the mountains far to the
northeast of Tarac. 1t is expected that
the insurgent capital will be shifted to
Boambang, and the efforts of the Amer
lean military forces will be directed to-
ward that point. 1t is in the noun
famous country of the north and ap-
parently out of the fertile and populous
regions where Aguinaldo thus far has
conducted his operations. 1t is said to
be accessible from the south by way of
only one route, along a river, which is
a branch of the Rio Grande. This leaves
the rebel leader little or no opportunity
of communicating with the coast, or
getting in supplies. He has also left
the railroad behind him.
1t is said at the War Department that
the columns of General Young and Gen
eral Wheaton will push on to the north,
following up the insurgent leader and
his scattered bands.

THE BIG METEOR SHOWER.
To be Made the Special Study Of
Astronomers Of State University.

BERKELEY, Nov. 9.-The big me-
teoric shower which astronomers pre-
dict for next week is to be made sub
ject of special study by the Depart
ment of Astronomy in the University Of
California.
Under the direction of Professor Ar
min Leuschner, preparations are being
made for such records to be taken as
will prove of interest to the general
public. Special observations will be
conducted in conjunction with the OBJ
servatory at Mount Hamilton. Photo
graphs will be taken and special feat
ures noted.
The special object to be obtained is
in the determination of the radiant, the
point in which the paths of the differ
ent meteors. if produced, would meet.
The exact location of this point is nee
essary for the calculations of the orbit
of the meteors about the sun. Besides
the determination of the radiant point,
count of the number of meteors ap-
pearing at given intervals will be kept
in order to find out the densest portion
of the swarm.

has been giving much attention to the
subject of the trade relations or the
United States in the Orient
The interest of the Chinese Govern
ment in what is going on between the
United States and the European Pow
ers is intense, but it is believed that
Secretary Hay has relieved the main
apprehension, which was founded upon
suspicion that our Government, IN
the event that the European Powers
failed to give the formal assurance of
the maintenance of the 'oDen door,
that it seeks would take possession of
a section of the Chinese coast before 1T
is all taken up by the Powers. So
confident are the officials of success,
that it is intimated they have not even
gone to the length of framing policy
to meet the event of defeat
No answer has been returned by
France to our inquiry as to formal
assurance of the retention of trade priv
ileges. 1t is scarcely expected that
the French stipulation will apply to
Tonquin and the sections of China that
have been under French influence for
a long time past, but to apply to any
extension of French holdings.

Two Masked Men 0yer-Aws the Proprietor
and Several Guests.
The Owner Of the Place at First
sDemurred. When a Shot Rang
Out, Just Grazing His Shoulder
The Warning Was Sufficient
and He Turned Over to the
Bandits His Wealth, Estimated
at Over Two Thousand Dollars.

COvELO, Nov 9.-Advices by tele-
phone from Laytonville give details OF
an exciting hold-up of a saloon at Usai
Tuesday evening.
Just before dark two strangers drove
up hurriedly, and after slipping cheese
cloth masks over their faces, covered
the proprietor, Freitag, and several
guests with revolvers. One OF the
bandits demanded that Freitag put his
money in a sack, and at the same time
tossed him one. The other ordered the
seven guests to remain quiet.
Freitag demurred a moment, and the
robber, in an angry and Impatient
voice, threatened to shoot him. In
stantly following his command, shot
rang out, the bullet just grazing f'rel-
tags shoulder The proprietor enptleu
all his available cash in sack, ahC
the robbers cautiously filed out, With
parting warning to remain still. They
jumped into a blackboard and started
toward Round Valley.
Freitag declines to state the amount
of his loss, but it is believed it will
exceed $1,000. Officers Immediately
started in pursuit of the robbers. There
is no clue to their identity.

SUCCESSFULLY LANDED A.
LINGAYEN.
Heavy Vo1leys Poured at Troops Al
They Appeared ON Beach, Who
Charged and Routed Rebels.

MANILA, Nov. 1910 a. m.-Gen-
eral Wheaton's expedition arrived off
San Fabian Monday night, but the surf
was too high to permit the landing OF
troops in small boats. On Tuesday
morning the expedition approached
Angayan, a suburb of Dagupan, which
has sheltered harbor, with high sand
dunes stretching from the water to the
town.
The Bennington, Helena, Manila.
Callao and Samar shelled the town and
the beach for an hour with the full
strength of their batteries, but there
was no response, nor was there visible
any sign of life. The troops were landed
in boats, five steam launches, each tow
ing four boats. When these appeared
on the shore and the troops began to
land a long line of insurgents rose from
the sand and poured heavy volley over
the heads of the soldiers, following this
with rapid fusillade. The insurgents
were excited, and fired high, few Of
their bullets striking the boats. Two
men, however, We're wounded.
The companies were formed and or
dered to lie down in the sand They
gave the insurgents few volleys and
! then charged, driving the enemy with a
rush.
The Filipinos had lain behind the
dunes during the COMMANDMENT, the
shells blowing through the sand and
doing them little if any damage
The gunboat Manila brought the news
that when she left General Wheaton his
entire force of ZOO men was marching
eastward, leaving Dagupan.

been ordered from Hongkong to Dagu-
pan, had not arrived at the latter place

New Implement of Warfare.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Silas ]. Coyne, a
carpenter, has invented a new imple-
ment of warfare. The device consists
OF a series of kites, supporting cable,
upon which a trolley kite is made
to travel The trolley kite carries a
bomb of high explosive powder, which
is automatically released By means
of specially constructed keys, of which
Mr.. Coyne is the inventor, he claims to
be able to support cable nearly seven
miles in length, by using a number of
kites in tandem The travelling kite will
support a weight of twenty pounds It
folds automatically upon releasing the
bomb, and returns of its own weight.
Successful practical tests are said to
have been made of the kites

BALDWIN HOTEL SITE.
J. Q. Flood Bargains for a Portion
Of the Property.

Of the Property.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-An
agreement for the sale of a portion OF
the site of the old Baldwin Hotel was
entered into and signed to-day. de-
post of $4,000 was placed with the
Hibernia Bank by James L. Flood, the
purchaser, to bind the sale. The sale
that was effected to-day includes lS6
feet front on Market street, p feet
inches at the gore and 175 feet on
Powell street The price agreed on was
81 100000 The agreement was signed
by Mr.. Flood in person, and by Thomas
Magee, representing E. ]. Baldwin
1t is stated that Baldwin will oppose
the consummati ton of the sale. Bald
win claims that Thomas Magee was
not authorized to sell at the figure
agreed on. He contends that to sell
it for the price named, leaving him
with the less desirable portion, for
which only 100000 could be hoped to
be obtained would be virtually selling
the hotel site for 81 100000 a prepos-
terously inadequate sum, according to
his views
The Hibernia Bank is much interest
ed in the sale of enough of the Bald
win property to pay off the indebted
ness of 81 $4,000 due to that institu-
ton. Although the security for the
principal is excellent, Baldwin has fall
len behind in the payment of his inter-
est, which amounts to 100000 year.
Great was the banks disappointment,
therefore, when Baldwin, after his ar
rival from the southland, declared he
would not be forced to accept figure
so far below his estimate of S2,OOO,O00
as the value of the entire hotel site.
The filing Of the agreement to sell by
Flood and Magee is the first step. The
next one may be the filing of a fore
closure suit by the Hibernia Bank. This
would require some weeks to conclude,
after which Baldwin would have year
in which to redeem the property.
