Chairman Griggs Will Try to Get the Ruf.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Chairman
Griggs, Of the Democratic Congress.
sional committee, left Washington
to day for New York to confer with
Democrats in that city upon the
effect of the change in the Tammany
organization on the Congressional
campaign. The resignation of Mr..
Lewis Nixon from the craftsmanship
of Tammany, may, it is feared, dis.
arrange some of the we'll laid plans
of the Congressional organization.
Mr.. Nixon had been chosen by the
Democratic Congressional committee
to be chairman of the finance com-
mittee of that body.
Chairman Griggs will earnestly
urge Mr.. Nixon to remain at the
head of the finance committee, unless
it should develop that the strained
relations threatened between Mr..
Nixon and the rank and file of the
'Tammany men might react to the
detriment of the general Democratic

the awful overpowering stencil from

poisonous gases, which instantly
suHocated every one who inhaled
them, and of other gases burning
furiously, for nearly all the victims
had their hands covering their
mouths, or we're in some other at

relief from su~ffocation. All the

killed and the volcano whose ancient
crater for more than so years had
been surrounded by a lake, suddenly
discharged a torrent of fiery mud,

broken and the doomed city was
isolated from the world"

Changes in the Creed Recommended by
Northern Presbyterians.
NEW YORK, May 16.-The report
of the committee on the revision of
the confession of faith appointed by
the Presbyterian General Assembly
last year, which was made pub
lie to-day, has been awaited with
keen interest, not only by members
of the Presbyterian church, but by
persons of all religious beliefs the
country over The committee, in it's
overtures to the General Assembly,
recommends that in the statement
of the reform ed faith it be made
plain that "no man is condemned
except on the ground of his sim"
The revisers also recommend that it
be stated positively that Chapter K,
Section 8 of the Confession of Faith
is not to be regarded as teaching
that any who die in infancy are lost.
The creed, as the committee would
have it revised, says:
"We believe all dying in infancy
are included in the election Of grace
and are regenerated and saved by
Christ shrough the Spirit, who works
when he pleases."

THE FLooD-r1DE OF IMMIGRATION.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Outlook
of to day comments as follows on
the immigration situation:
The returns for the past four
months indicate that the number of.
immigrants this year will exceed by
nearly a third that of last year,
and be nearly three times as great
as it was four years ago. The Off
Gals OF the Treasury Department
expect the total immigration for the
year 30 approach six hundred thou
sand-a figure ne exceeded except
in the early eighties, when the tide
of prosperity was last at it's food
As an index to prosperity the figures
of this year are gratifying, but in
other respects they r oven more
alarming than we're the larger figures
two decades ago. Up to that time
nearly all of our immigrants were
from the relatively homogeneous
and quickly assimilated people of
northern Europe. The British Isles
and Canada had supplied one-half of
our immigrants, and Germany and
Scandinavia over two thirds of the
remainder. This year, however, the
figures for March at the port of
New York g al follows:
The RriEish Tales 1COO
Germany and Sch ndinavia .... 5000
Eastern and Southern Eupope, A, 900
Almost as unpromising as regards
the rapid assimilation OF the immi-
grants is the extent TO which they
intend to settle in the cities in (which
the foreign elements are already in
the majority. Upon this point the
returns and by States, but the city
destination of the bulk of the immi
grants is made sufficiently obvious
by the fact that nearly two thirds of
them were bound for New York or
Pennsylvania, and nearly two thirds
of the remainder for Illinois or New
Jersey-all of them States in which
the city population is relatively
large OF the fifty seven thousand
immigrants at the port Of New York
a little over fourteen thousand
could neither read nor write in any
language, so that the amount of the
immigration would have been re,
reduced just one-fourth had Con-
gress given effect to the plank of
the Republican platform of 1895 in
dorsing the plan of the Immigration
Restriction League to exclude immi-
grants who do not fit she msolves for
American citizenship by learning to
read in some language, and thus
make less difficult their further in.

are called upon to decide.

LIQUOR IN NORTH CAROLINA.


From statistics gathered by the
North Carolina Baptist, we give the
following condensed exhibit of the
liquor business in North Carolina.
There are forty-eight counties in
which there is no saloon. New Han
over leads the list in the number of
sal ons, having 81, Wake comes next
with 81. Pitt has 25, Wilson "a,
Martin %; Durham d, all at Dur
ham.
The following have dispensaries
and no saloons Franklin, Haywood,
Hartford, Macon, Rutherford, Union
and Warren.
The following have a dispensary
with saloons: Edgscombe, Johnston
and Northampton.
A comparison of the above figures
with those of ten years ago would
reveal a very gratifying growth in
temperance sentiment. The num-
Der of dry counties Is undoubtedly
increasing. The Baptist says: ''In
making a circuit from FAyette Vile
to Wilmington, up to Goldsboro,
ACROSS TO Selma, and back to Fayette-
Vile, there have been within the
past ten years fourteen towns that
had licensed saloons. To day there
are only four with saloons, and two

The Mullins Pump.

Says the Shoshone Independent:
"B. G. Mullins, of Bliss, was over
to Boise last week to watch the

city Mr.. Mullins said:

ldaho's Big Boom.

The Salt Lake Mining Review, the
best and most conservative mining
journal published in the west, says:
"The tidal wave Of prosperity that rs
about TO engulf the Thunder Mount

IL coming and will soon be here Is IN
dictated in many ways. Every news

thing to say OF this new Eldorado, OF
the mineral wealth that has been found
within its environments, and OF the
thousands that will soon be headed
toward this promised land, which,
from all accounts, will develop num-
Der of splendid bonanzas before the
close of the present year. That this
will be the case seems almost Ger
tainty, and for two good reasons, one
of which is that experts have stated
that q vast erea OF country In this
section Of Idaho is heavily mineralized
the other being that a small army o.
