PRESIDENT IN
 IMMINENT PERIL Says AstroIoger Meyer, Who Also Predicts Strikes and
 BIoodShed in June

New York, May 24.-Referring today to the message he sent President Mckinley that Mrs. Mckinley would recover. and at the same time warning the President against assassins during the month of June. Astrologer Gustave Meyer makes the following statement:
 Tn erecting the horoscope of MT. Mo Kinley which resulted in my sending him the telegram, I predict that owing to the .faet.that the evil planet. Saturn. is retro | grading at the present time in Mr. Nc Kinley's second house, or mansion of the heavens, which, according to astrology is his wife's eighth house, the house of death, Mrs. Mckinley will not die this year; but there is great danger of her passing away by next April, when Saturn w-l go direct again and pass over it's own place in the second house (the house in the heavens), indicating Mrs. Mckinley s death.
 '"rhe imminent attempt on the life of President Mckinley in June is due to the evil planet Uranus, which is In the tenth mansion of the heavens, indicating trouble for the government and it's ruler.
 'The diagram of new moon for the month of June predicts for the people of the United States great strikes, much bloodshed. loss of life and many riots.
 ''The nation must guard against war like movements on the part of her for eign friends, who will prove false.
 There will be many tie-ups on the railroads throughout the country, and there will also be trouble in our postal service. Throughout June travel by rs1 will be very unsafe but ocean traffic will be quite free from trouble"
 MT. Meyer was born in Madison, Ind. February 16, 1876. In 1880 his parents moved to Brooklyn, N. Y.. and In 1890 to Hoboken, N J. In 1896 he became inter ested in astrology, since which he has been under the tuition of J. D. Astor of this city.
 MT. Meyer is at present in business with his father at Mo- 101 Washington street, Hoboken, N. J.

CONVENTION NOTES.
MT. Pitts Brings Down the House-Ab-
 sence of Bald Heads.

Montgomery, May N.-(Special.)-A the Democratic caucus Thursday afternoon when the question of the McKenzie-Wil- Hams Elnore County dispute was taken up. the Williams element was represented by MT. Fitts of Tuscaloosa, who, acting as attorney, managed that side of the case, while the Mckenzie side of the mat ter was handled by Gregory l.. Smith of Mobile. The Mckenzie people made a motion for continuance, saying that the Southern train on which they expected their witnesses and which was due that morning was six hours late. The caucus refused to continue the matter and went into the hearing. The Williams people put up their witnesses and it was nearly 8 o'clock in the evening when the time came for the Mckenzie people to intro duce their evidence.
 At this point MT. Smith again plead for delay saying his witnesses were on a train which was six hours late.
 "What train is that?" asked member. '"The train that was due here at 8 o'clock this morning." yelled MT. Pitts loud enough to be heard by every one in spite of the noise and tumult.
 This reply caused a roar of laughter. One member being so tickled by 1t that he lay back in his seat and kicked his feet on the desk in front of him.
 A striking peculiarity of the convention is the absence of ball heads. There are not dozen ball heads in the whole mem- bership. This does not mean that the convention is hairy like Western Popu- list assemblage. On the contrary there are very few boards. There Is an average number of mustaches, but most of the members have smooth faces. It is not a fair inference that they are smooth like their faces, but then some of the best politicians in Alabama are members of the convention. though up to the present time they have not shown their hands if they have their faces.
 During the caucus Thursday afternoon Dr. A s. Fletcher of Madison was called on at one time to preside He made an excellent impression and showed himself to be a good presiding officer. Dr. Fletcher has often been called on to pre- side over other legislative bodies. but this was the first time he had tried his hand on the present convention.

The Columbia Wrecked.

Bay City, Mich, May 24.-A special to the Tribune from Tawas City says:
 "A terrific northeaster prevailed all day and last night The tug Columbia of De- troit, with a government steam dredge and two loaded lighters for the Soo, was caught in the storm. The lighters and dredge were lost, parting their six-inch cable. The crew of six men Is missing. While searching today for her tow the Columbia picked up two men from the wrecked Baltimore on a raft. They were almost dead. Another man was on the raft but was lost, despite the efforts to save him.
 The schooner Montmorency, which went aground on the Charity Islands several days ago has gone to pieces. Her crew left her Thursday. The Tawas life saving crew made a trip to her at mid night and rowed eighteen miles into the storm and against the wind but found no one aboard. The Columbia picked up her dredge tonight, but the lighters and the expensive machinery they carried and the six men are still missing. The wind Is now going down.

BULLY AND cAJoLE.
Londan Paper Says That Is the Policy
 of America.

President Roosevelt's speech at Buffalo the Saturday Review will say tomorrow;
 "The Monroe doctrine, triply exagger- ated. and the rejection of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty are the means by which South America is to fight off the power of European designs. The North Americans, will try to bully and cajole her into deny ing Germany the lease of a small coaling station. Soon Europe will not be able to, speak in South America without asking the permission of the United States. But we fancy South America would prefer even the attentions of Europe to those of their friends in the north. It Is pleasant for Europe to be menaced with the com mercial fist and the mailed fist of Amer ica at the same time"

Two men were washed about in the lake for several hours lashed to piece of wreckage and were finally picked up by the tug Columbia George McGin- his. declkhand, one of the rescued went crazy from his experienct. The other survivor, Thomas Murphy of Milwaukee. second engineer. was able to tell the story of the disaster.

 Michael Brethren, first mate.
 Edward Owen, wheelman-
 G. w. Sears, wheelman.

 Murphy's Story.
 We were bound from Lorraine to Sault Ste Marie" Murphy said. "and had in tow large steam drill and scow. When off Thunder Bay last night Captain Place saw that the sHeamer was making bad weather.
 Captain Place decided to turn about and run for Tawas for shelter Every thing went all right until we were off Au Sable, when the steamer struck heavily l at the same time and carried away tn, deck house, then the aft cabin and finall, ! the smokestack fell. Both rails fc-ward broke in two just aft of the forward deck house and we knew that it was only few minutes before the steamer would go to pieces.
 Tt Is every man for himself now,, shouted Captain Place. The look of de- spair on Mrs. Places face was something I shall never forget. It was awful. I took the captains advice and every man started to save himself as best he could Some of the boys took to the rigging, but McGinnis and lashed ourselves to a ring bolt in a piece of the aft cabin and we were washed overheard shortly after wards.
 "The strain was too much for McGinnis and he went crazy before we had been in the water very long. He tried to throw me off the wreckage, but talked to him and encouraged him to hold on. "The Columbia finally came along and picked us up just as I was about to give up hope. I am afraid all of the rest of the crew were drowned. including Mrs Place

 TO ADOPT THE CONSTITUTION
CONSTITUTION AND FLAG
 MAY NOT GO TOGETHER

:" The framers of the constitution In writing that clause had no thought of it's application to territorial possessions. No such question as is now presented had arisen in their minds The clause all duties, imposts and exercises shall be uniform throughout the United States, the court holds, was placed in the con stitution as a result of the Jealousies or the states which united in forming the nation. It was intended to prevent any state or combination of states securing advantage over another or others; to prevent the ports of one state gaining preference over those of another in the importation of goods.
 This rule of uniformity was made primarily for the states united. the court holds, not for territories, then pos- sessed or afterwards acquired, and the constitutional requirement is satisned that on all duties are uniformly imposed at all the ports throughout the United States. The advantage of this uniformity may be extended to territories and pos- sessions, not states and not members of the American Union, but that is for Con gress to determine under authority or the constitution"
 
 tracted and read. He favored adopting the majority report.
 MrI Greer of Calhoun favored the mi nority report.
 Mir. Hefiin of Chambers spoke against the report He said 1t was the duty of the secretary to keep a journal or the convention which in addition to the news paper reports was sufficient.
 MT. Graham of Talladega then demand ed the precious question, but withdrew It NfG
 Mir Espy of Henry then spoke in favor of having report.
 General Oates said the aspiring young orators had better get used to having their speeches stenographically reported before they got to Congress. He then moved the previous question. This was carried and the motion to adopt the mi nority report was then put and lost. It was then moved to reconsider the vote and motion was made to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, which was carried.
 Tom Long's Joke.
 MT. Long of Walker who was opposed to report being made them offered the following resolution as substitutes:
 Resolved, That $500 be and Is hereby appropriated to purchase printing press and to issue daily pamphlet to be known as the Daily Constitutional Reporter, and each member be and he Is hereby au- thorized to print one speech each day whether or not same was written by him. self Or delivered before the convention the same as now practiced by the Con- gress of the United States" This was ruled out of order and th' l report of the stenographic committee wal l then adopted.

Southern -Presbyterians,

oOul1lGlIA-A @SSJ - " v s--iH
 Little Rock. May 24.-Provisions for the care of the disabled ministers and their families was the principal topic In the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly +odav The standing committees recom- mended that a separate executive com rnittee with Rev Russell Cecil as chair man take charge of the work or raisihs and distributing a. ministerial reileI iulu' Final action will be taken this aIternooh'
 At tonight's session of the Soutnerh II Presbvterian General Assembly majority and minority reports from the speciai committee on "elect infant clause, were submitted. Judge E. 8. Greene or forI Worth Tex, presented the minority re port which recommended that the ioliow- ing be sent down to the Presbyterles TOT their concurrence:
 ..That section 8, chapter 10 Of the con fessjon of faith be amended by adding inc words nothing in this section snail he understood as rolding Of teaching the possibility of the damnation of an in- fant dying in infancy. Our church does mt hold nor never has held such uoc- trines."
 No Explanatory Notes.
 The minority report was rejected by the assembly and the majority report. pre- scented by Rev. R. F. Beattie of Louis- vile Xiv. was adopted The majority re- hort rescinds the order of the last general assembly to print every edition or the confession of faith thereafter an explan- atory foot note regarding infants dying in infancy, but the report states that tnis action is in no way to be taken as mooi- fving the answer made to the overtures in the last assembly.
 Concerning overtures from various synods and presbyteries as to the salva- titon of infants dying in infancy, the ma iority report as adopted tonight recom- mends that no action be taken for the following reasons:
 1 Because it is unwise to initiate at this time the agitation of this question among the people.
 3, Because no modification that does not eliminate scriptural Calvinism from this section of the confession will obvi- ate the objection which comes from Ar menian sources.
 B. Because the Westminster confession of faith Is the first great creed which taught the salvation of infants dying In infancy on truly scriptural grounds.
 A. Because the confession of faith in this section does not teach the damnation of any infant dying in infancy, for the req son that the contrast made in 1t Is not between elect and non-elect infants dying in infancy, but between persons who die in infancy and elect persons who do not die in infancy. ., grounded hope founded on scripture that vet the confession of faith goes as far as the scriptures justify positive verbal statement upon that subject

THE PRESBYTER|ANS WILL NOT
 SIDE TRACK CREED REVISION

Washington May A.-It appears rom the official reports that Colonel Wood ruff had set on foot an investigation of the irregularities, especially those relat- ing to the sales of commissary supplies before the arrival of Major West The latter began an independent investiga- tion When Major West became depot commissary he found a very lax state of affairs There were several large ware houses, mostly in charge of comnissary sergeants, and no way of holding these non-commissioned officers responsible for the property under their charge. As large amounts of goods were being sent out from each warehouse daily, the op- portunities for irregularities induced the commissary sergeants, civilian employees and teamsters to engage in the business of selling commissary supplies. The method by which this was accomplished was as follows:
 Orders would be given by commissary sergeant in charge of a warehouse or certain goods. This teamster would de- liver the goods to persons to whom they had been previously sold by some other individual in the conspiracy and the money would be divided pro rata among the men engaged in the scheme. The lax methods of Major Davis. the former de- pot commissary, and of Captain Reed al- <<<<<<%~->>>><- speeches be limited to ten minutes Ob- lection was made by some of the com missioners, but the motion was carried.
 Rev. Dr. Robert M. Patterson of Penn sylvania declared 1t had been said on the floor of the assembly that the confession of faith was not believed. Dr. Patterson was unalterably opposed to any change in the confession.
 Dr. W. H. Roberts, stated clerk, de- clared himself In favor of a declaratory statement which should include the toi- lowing among other statements:
 That this church has always held and now holds in the matter of the salvation of infants dying in infancy and other per sons mentally incapable of faith. that they are saved by the electing grace of that God who is not only a sovereign. but father"
 pr. Dickey closed the debate with convincing argument for clearer defini- ton of the clause relating to elect infants which elicited a spontaneous burst or en- thusiasm from the commissioners. The question was laid before the assem- b1v and the amendment dismissing the subject was lost by an overwhelming ma jority. The assembly adjourned until to- morrow.
