OHI0ANS FOR HENDERSON.
Twelve ConEressmen Ont OF fiffeen
Pledge Their Votes to Htni-Mny
Make 1t Unanimous.

COLUMBUS, O.. June 1.-The Republican
members of congress from Ohio held a
conference at the Neil house tonight TO
consider the attitude of the Ohio deiesa-
tion on the speakership. There were twelve
of the fifteen Ohio Republican members
present, but the three absenteeS had pre-
viously agreed to abide by the decision of
the majority. The absentees were J. II.
BromwelI, Alonzo Danford and Stephen
Morgan.
After full discussion an informal bal
lot was taken. which resulted in nine
votes for Henderson, of Iowa. and three
for Sherman. of New \ ork. Then for
NAL ballot was taken and the vote stood
eleven for Henderson and one for. Sher-
man. The following representatives voted
for Henderson: Burton, Dick, Grosvenor,
Kerr, Lybrand, Phillips, Shattuck, South
ard. Taylor, Van Noorhis and Weaver.
Hon. Seth W. Brown voted even on the
last ballot for Sherman. claiming that he
did not think 1t wise to pledge the whole
delegation so far In advance of the session
of congress.
While Mr.. Bromwell was absent ac-
count of pressing business and Mr.. Dan
ford on account of sickness II is understood
that they were both favorable to Hendcr-
son. and Mr.. Morgan had so expressed
himself previous to his engagement on the
committee on resolutions. 1t is believed
that the fifteen Ohio Republican votes will
| all be cast for Henderson and that the
| delegation will be actively at work for

Necessary.

gram to the president and, after confer
ence with him, stated that the text of the
dispatch would not be made public as 1t
contained other matters besides an an
swer to his inquiry of yesterday.

some time ago" said the secretary. that
2O.OO0 men would be sufficient to cope with
the situation. AS | stated yesterday. the

To go to the Philippines will give General
Otis about 24,O0O or p 200 men, after the
withdrawal of the volunteers.
Where will the additional 5000 or 500!
for whom General Otis asks come from?
the secretary was asked.
That has not been definitely determined
as yet" he replied.
We may be able to take the additional
troops asked for from the regulars now
located in this country, Cuba and Porto
Rico, but it may be, found advisable to
muster in volunteers"
at case 1t is decided to call for volun-
teers. will the call only be. for the 5.OGt

Otis total up to 100000"
"If volunteers are called for" replied

SECRET SOCIETIES DENOUNCED
terinn Church Adopts Strong Res
oIutfons of Censure.

MANSFIELD, o., June 1.-The national
synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
church. in session here, denounced secret
societies in the adoption of the following
resolutions:
First-That this synod calls on each and
every member of this church to give force
to his emphatic testimony against every
form of oathbound or promise-bound
secrecy. by taking a public stand against
the evil.
Second-This synod testfies against
those churches that knowingly permit their
members, while in allegiance to this un-
Christian system, to sit undsturbed at
the Lords table. or allow their ministers
to officiate in the Christless rites of the
lodgeroom.
Third-In the name of Him who IS gov
erning among the nations. We protest
against the national and state governments
giving corporate existence to any secret
organization. The state wrongs itself and
its citizens in permitting any association
to be formed from which the officers of the
state are excluded.
Fourth-We protest against civil and mu-
nicipal officers appropriating funds levied
on the citizens for the entertainment of
any secret lodge and also against inviting
any secret society to officiate at the begin
ming or completion of any building erected
by public funds.

morrow morning to try the first case
against the Macomb train robbers
Fagley was brought in, blinking from the
sudden light and looking awkwardly con-
scious Of his position. He sat down with
his lawyers and leaned with his elbows on
the table. He scrutinized each venircman
as he was examined. Five men-Jamcs
Beckdam. r. H. Owens, II. ]. Smith. Peter
Soldine and Jerry Turner-admitted that
their conscientious scruples would prevent
them from returning a death sentence. In
reply to another question, they assured
the judge that this would not interfere with
their passing on the case, and they were
retained on the panel.
William Kelly. Venireman. was very
thoughtful In replying to questions. He
was asked if he had any convictions about
the train robbery. He pondered while
and then replied:
well. your honor, am convinced that q
train was held up, but, darn me, If In
convinced who did it,.
Kelly was retained.
An interesting witness for the state is
Patrolman Tom Wilson, of Kansas City

er-neck country, and he has often had in
side information about the time when !
