moments later the secretary Of the meet
Ing came in and announced that Vermont
mad Just formally decided to cast its first
ballot for Long. This announcement was
greeted with considerable cheering. 1t
was the first formal declaration by any
state, OF course outside of Massachusetts,
herself. for the support of Secretary Long.
Oscar Smith, Nevada delegate, vas
called on to know how Nevada stood. and
he made speech. in the course of which
he said the Convention appeared to be for
Governor Roosevelt; that the chief rea-
son that he was such prominent can
didate here. SO far he could find out,
lay in the fact that he was man reputed
to be honest.
'Frcm all 1 can gather" declared Mr..
Smith, there are mighty few honest men
in New York, and it seems to me that the
best thing we can do is to let New York
keep one honest man. as he wants to stay
there"
Mr.. Smith then declared that four of
the six Nevada delegates would vote for
Secretary Long on the first ballot. where
upon there was lot more cheering An
other delegate said he had Just been told
that Texas was practically solid for Sec
retary Long.
Another reported that he had ssen lot
of Arkansas delegates and that Secretary
Long was acceptable to them, and some OF
them would vote for HIM on the first ballot
A delegate named Sawyer made a little
speech, in which he said that the deleea-
tion must not forget that the Convention
was Roosevelt Convention Roosevelt
wanted it. He had been around and fornd
the feeling that the Governor was being
forced to take the nomination was gaining
great strength, and that being the csse
large numbers Of the delegates were waver-
ing. Now. he declared, was the time to
jump in and fight hard for Secretary Long
There were reports from delegates who
had talked with delegates from other
States. including Michigan ard Illinois, ard
they declared that Long would get both of
those States on the first ballot. Then ore
of the delegates said that it was all impor-
tant that when the voting began in the
Convention the first three States clllei
should vote for Long. These three States
are Alabama. Arkansas. and California. He
thought that the delegates from these
States ought to be slept with If necessary.
Two or three other delegates declared
that that was what was happening. and
when the voting began there would bs
some votes from Alabama and some from
each of the others.
Then it was proposed to appoint COM
mittee to go around and see delegates from
all of the States and work Secretary Longs
boom systematically.

SALISBURY ON MISSIONS.
CommendS the Work Acc"mplishe cd
But Urges Caution.

LONDON, June 19.-In an address at
the bi-centenary meeting of the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel today,
Lord Salisbury said that missionaries were
unpopular with the Foreign Office, which
would probably consider him deserter
because ho appeared on their platform
today.
After paying warm tribute to the So
ciety's work the premier said that mar
tyrdom of the missionary in the oiden
times had little effect upon the people
whom they addressed, or from whom they
were sent. Nowadays martyrdom would
result in an appeal TO the consul. Though
neither the missionaries nor the Gov
ernment were biameworthy this had di-
minished the purely spiritual aspect of
Christian teaching. They had a proverb
in the East, Lord Salisbury said, which
was to this effect:
First comes the missionary, then the
consul, and then the general
That, as a matter of fact. he said, had
too often been the case. They could not
hide from themselves that 1t was a great
hindrance in missionary work to have
secular results Of Christian teaching. The
Christian faith and the Christian cross
did not shine upon the people of the
world with the unblemished splendor with
He told his hearers that they must
not imagine that all the people slaugh-
tered by the Chinese had been murdered
simply because the Chinese disliked their
religion There was no nation SO indif-
fereut to religion, Lord Salisbury de-
clared. as China. 1t was because that
country and others had got the idea that
missionary work was a mere instrument
of secular Government in order to achieve
certain objects which the Government had
in view. That he said. was most dan
gerous and terrible snare. 1t was not
necessary for him to say that this idea
was utterly erroneous. but he would urge
caution and prudence within the due
limits of devotion and enthusiasm.
Caution and prudence were duties OF
missionaries in foreign lands. They should
not only remember that they were preach
ing the gospel but that they were also
representing the people from whom they
came. In the present days if a mission
ary's zeal led to martyrdom he would az
least incur this danger-he would expose
the lives of those to whom he was preach
ing, and. what was much worse, cause
the shedding of the blood OF his country

PARIS, June 19.-The ''Soir" ascribes to
Foreign Minister Delcasse statement
that France and Russia will each send an
additional $500 men to China, their forces
thus outnumbering those of any other
power.
The Temps pleads with the powers to
sink their selfish ambitions, but seems in
ferentially to advocate the giving oil a
free hand to Russia forthwith to restore
order in the Celestial Kingdom. 1t says:

powers the advantage Of having consid-

To the Seattle Times must be assigned
the undivided credit of discovering N
unique reason why the farmers OF East
ern Washington should vote the Demo
cratic ticket 1t is because Republican
prosperity has raised the price Of their
products. Expansion has enlarged their
markets and added new ones. The I'M
mense additions to our Pacific trade have
increased ocean freights. of course, while
they have furnished a new market also
for Washington products at better fig
ures. The farmers have discovered this
during the past season. when they found
a splendid market on this Coast. AL
though this has increased their profits and
brought to Eastern Washington a pros
perity long unknown. It is now argued
that the rise In ocean rates. coincident
with larger increase in prices and prof
Its. should unite the farmers against the
party responsible for the improvement OF
their condition. The fusionists are quite
welcome to all the capital they can make
out OF that argument.

Some Queer Defences.


II is an entirely new and original de-
fence for such action as has been proved
against the state fair commissioners TO as
sert that their salaries are less than those
OF their predecessors. The salaries ac-
cording 10 the law are one thing. The
salaries outside OF and contrary to law,
and the agreement TO divide everything
in sight. are another thing. The extra
ordinary and only defence made two days
after the original exposure. through the
columns OF the Times. appears to amount
10 this: that II the compensation OF any
state official is made less than 1t was at
some other time. he has right to en-
large Il az pleasure out OF any funds
within his reach. II is a trife unusual,
but not inconsistent with the general
principles of this administration.
Meantime Gov. Rogers. who was ap-
parently not consulted about this expla-
nation. has been giving another. He is
reported TO have said that Yakima Is a
poor place for the state fair and that II
ought to be moved away from there. This
may express the governors opinion Of
Yakima. but. again. as an explanation II
fails to connect. Just how the removal OF
a state enterprise to another site would
correct the tendencies OF the manage
ment Of Il TO absorb all its revenues II Is
not easy to perceive. II is OF piece with
the groggy. wabbiing apologies offered by
the detected agents of the Rogers-Turner
combine on every side.
They have no defence. Browne has
none, Mcdonald has none. Lister and his
associates have none. Sniveiy and his
tools have none. They have done accord
Ing 10 their kind. and they can see moth
ing wrong about II except the being found
out. We have. however, an amendment
to offer to Gov. Rogers suggestion. In
stead OF removing the fair from Yakima.
why not remove Snively? Yakima is a
good place for the fair. There are other
places In the state. much more closely I'M
der the governors supervision, to which
Snively might be removed with gain to
the public and possibly not without profit
to himself. Gov. Rogers should think 1t
