Interview on the Subject. San Francisco, May 22.—The Chroni-cle’s special from Los Angeles gives in-terviews with a number of prominent citizens on the alleged filibustering scheme which was exposed yesterday. C. A. Deloy, a resident of Ensenada said the expose will create intense excitement on the peninsula and in his opinion will result in President Diaz demanding an explanation from the state department and probably a demand from the Mexi-can government that the conspirators be punished. Mr. Deloy also said the exposure will result in serious damage to interests of the Americans on the penin-sula, but that the worst sufferers will be the English stockholders in the Mexican Land and Colonization company and he thinks that the large grant which the company holds from the Mexican gov-ernment will be declared forfeited and the company’s property at Ensenada, Alamo and other places will be confis-cated. He also expressed the opinion that as soon as the news reached En-senada the company’s officers there .will be arrested. NO ov SUCCESS. San Francisco, May 22. —A. K. Co-ney, consul general in this city, says on the subject of the Lower California fili-busters: “There is no fear of the filibus-ters attaining their object either by peaceful or warlike means. I do not be-iieve the cordial feeling existing be-tween the United States and Mexico, promoted largely through the efforts and by the wisdom of President Diaz, can in any wav be interfered with thiough the efforts of a half dozen adventurers, whose sole object is to make money while their dupes suffer.” Democratic Principles. Atlanta, May 22.—The Democratic state executive committee met here yes-terday and fixed upon August 7th as the day for the state convention for the nom-ination of candidates for governor and other state offices. The following reso-lution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That realizing the necessity for an economical administration of our government, state and Federal the equal-ization and reduction of burdens of tax-ation and the threatening attitude of the Republican party to the southern pros-perity, the constitutional government and the American freedom, a party which fosters trusts, devised our bad fis-cal system and outlawed silver by an unwise contraction of currency, reducing our agricultural and financial industries to a verge of bankruptcy, we deem the success of the Democratic party and the triumphs of its principles essential to the weal of the whole country. Has Disappeared. Boston, May 22.—The Herald this morning says Clarence F. Jewett, presi-dent of the C. F. Jewett Publishing com-pany has disappeared and that crooked transactions in the matter of over issue of stock in the neighborhood of $75,000 have come to light. Mr. Dana Estes of Estes & Lauriat, publishers, is treasurer of the company and owned 375 shares of the company. It is reported that more than twice the amount held by Mr. Jew-ett has been sold bv him to various par-ties in blocks of ten or twelve shares for from $900 to $1,100, and his alleged vie-tims assert that it has been his custom to make out these shares as the occasion required and that he signed his own name and that of Mr. Estes thereto. It seems that the suspicions of Estes & Lauriat were aroused two weeks ago by frequent sales of stock by Jewett, and when they made inquiries Mr. Jewett left town “for a few days.” He has not returned and his wife and son have also left their elegant Brooklyn residence. Steps are being taken to get at the exact condition of affairs. A Brutal Murder. Catlettsburg, Ky., May 22.—Advices just received from south of Pigeon river, VV. Va., gives details of a most atrocious murder which occurred there last Satur-day. Jim Brewer shot and killed Ike Brewer, Jr., in the storehouse of E. Wal-ker. The shooting was caused by the reopening of an old feud. Ike Brewer, Jr., was sitting in the store and Jim Brewer came in and without a word of warning struck Ike a blow with his Winchester rifle across the neck, break-ing it. After the already dying man fell to the floor Brewer put the muzzle of the rifle to his shoulder and fired, scattering the unfortunate man’s brains in every direction. Brewer was arrested and is now confined in the Logan county jail. Jim Brewer has gained considerable notcriety by being a hard character in killing the Belden brothers three or four weeks ago. Ike Brewer, Jr., was a crip-pie, being minus one leg. Presbyterian Synod. Pittsburg, May 22.—The. general synod of the Reformed Presbyterian church convened here this morning, Rev. H. H. Brownell of Coulteraville, 111,, as moderator. Delegates were present from all parts of the country. Rev. Mr. Matthews, general secretary of the Presbyterian alliance, addressed the synod showing the object and de-sign of the alliance. He said it was their purpose to bring more closely to-gether the various branches of Preshy-terian family and promulgate the doc-trines and principles of their religion. Continued. Another Year. Saratoga, N. Y., May 22.—At this morning’s session of the Presbyterian general assembly, the special committee on the publication hoard was continued another year and instructed to consult with the commission of seven appointed yesterday, and thanked for the faithful labor they have already done. The chairman of the committee on amendment of confession of faith and constitution reported that it has been continued from year to year since 1867; that this church has always emphisized the doctrine as the vital element and changes in it shall be made under greater concessions than those in the discipline and that alterations should be defined in the terms. An overture is then submitted with recommendation that it be transmitted to the various Presbyteries. Chairman Dr. Roberts of« the com-mittee said there are three modes of al-terations, one by a proposal after a com-mittee has considered it a year; second, if one-third of the Presbyteries propose alteration in either the doctrinal or discipline standards, the assembly must formulate and transmit the proposed alterations to the Presbyteries for ap-proval; the third provides for alterations by a simple majority vote of the Presbyteries. Dr. Patton said those of the committee who were opposed to the report in the beginning agreed in supporting this re-port which concedes the right of the Presbytery to overture the assembly and the need of two-thirds for alterations in doctrine.. We hope it may pass with absolute unanimity. The report was then passed with but one dissenting vote and Dr. Howard Crosby led in a prayer of thanks. Dr. Potter of Princeton, chairman of the committee for canvassing the an-swers of the presbyteries on the revision, read his report. There were 133 that de-sired revision and sixty-eight that did not. The others declined to answer. Manv desired it, but stipulated that the Calvanistie character of the stan-dards should not he altered. A considerable discussion arose as to the classification of the presbyteries on the other lines. Albany refused to an-swer as to revision, but desired a short creed to be used side by side with the old. Dr. McCracken made the affirmative 135 and 67 negative, including Albany and Sacramento in the affirmative list instead of negative. This is a very important point, as the classification of these two decides whether two-thirds have or have not de-sired revision. The report was then recommitted for amendments. The Methodist**. St. Louis, May 22.—In the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church South this morning the report of the committee on missions was taken up again and a long debate ensued on a paragraph in it recommending the ap-pointment of three secretaries for mis-sions. There is but one now employed. There was a great deal of opposition to this and an effort was made to compro-mise on two but the recommendation of the committee was finally carried and the mission will have three secretaries hereafter. The conference then received Rev. Geo. M. Shaffer of Kansas City, who came as a fraternal messenger from the African Methodist Episcopal church. He gave a review of the history of the African church in this country and sug-gested that the missionaries who had ac-complished the greatest good in Africa were negroes and asked for the aid and support of the Methodist church South to send them to the “Dark Continent” to work for the cause of Christ. The preposition to require the treasurer of the board of missions to give a bond was promptly, if not indignantly,oppos-ed and defeated by a large majority. A resolution was offered by Dr. Peter-son officially approving the Payne and Lane institutes (colored schools), and appointing a commissioner who should devote his time to raising money for their support. News was received of the death of Rev. Nathan S. Carroll, of Kansas City. The conference joined in prayer for the blessing and comfort of God for the be-reaved family. The committee on Sunday schools re-ported in favor of organizing young people’s leagues in Sunday schools to furnish greater opportunities to young people to work. The report was adopted without debate. A proposition to estsblish a weekly paper to be called The Youth was in-definitely postponed. Adjourned. Two new bishops, Haygood of Ala-bama and Fitzgerald of Nashville, were consecreated this afternoon at Centenary church in the presence of the conference and a large number of people, Bishop Keener officiating. No Right to Sell Liquor. Nevada, Iowa, May 22.—Judge Hind-man of the district court, in his charge to the grand jury at the opening of court to-day took the ground that notwiih-standing the late decision of the United States supreme court, no person has a right in this state to keep a place for the sale of intoxicating liquors of any kind, either in original packages or otherwise, and that it was the sworn duty of grand jurors to report to the court bv indict-ment any person charged with keeping any such place, without regard as to where such liquors came from. He maintained that interstate commerce has nothing to do with the question, and that the keeping of a place for the sale of liquors is a nuisance, no matter how they are dealt out.

Mr. Cox then offered a reso-lution to refer the matter to a special committee who shall present a more succinct statement of the question.

The question was liberally discussed and Dr. Hemphill rose and remarked that as long as he was in the pulpit be would preach on those subjects from a sense of duty and that he did not con-sider that anybody had to tell him how or when to do it and that the assembly was constantly lowering, not only in the eyes of the Presbyterians, but of the ministers, by just such acts as the one propoasd.

Chairman Dr. Roberts of« the com-mittee said there are three modes of al-terations, one by a proposal after a com-mittee has considered it a year; second, if one-third of the Presbyteries propose alteration in either the doctrinal or discipline standards, the assembly must formulate and transmit the proposed alterations to the Presbyteries for ap-proval; the third provides for alterations by a simple majority vote of the Presbyteries. Dr. Patton said those of the committee who were opposed to the report in the beginning agreed in supporting this re-port which concedes the right of the Presbytery to overture the assembly and the need of two-thirds for alterations in doctrine.. We hope it may pass with absolute unanimity. The report was then passed with but one dissenting vote and Dr. Howard Crosby led in a prayer of thanks. Dr. Potter of Princeton, chairman of the committee for canvassing the an-swers of the presbyteries on the revision, read his report. There were 133 that de-sired revision and sixty-eight that did not. The others declined to answer. Manv desired it, but stipulated that the Calvanistie character of the stan-dards should not he altered. A considerable discussion arose as to the classification of the presbyteries on the other lines. Albany refused to an-swer as to revision, but desired a short creed to be used side by side with the old. Dr. McCracken made the affirmative 135 and 67 negative, including Albany and Sacramento in the affirmative list instead of negative. This is a very important point, as the classification of these two decides whether two-thirds have or have not de-sired revision. The report was then recommitted for amendments. The Methodist**. St. Louis, May 22.—In the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church South this morning the report of the committee on missions was taken up again and a long debate ensued on a paragraph in it recommending the ap-pointment of three secretaries for mis-sions. There is but one now employed. There was a great deal of opposition to this and an effort was made to compro-mise on two but the recommendation of the committee was finally carried and the mission will have three secretaries hereafter. The conference then received Rev. Geo. M. Shaffer of Kansas City, who came as a fraternal messenger from the African Methodist Episcopal church. He gave a review of the history of the African church in this country and sug-gested that the missionaries who had ac-complished the greatest good in Africa were negroes and asked for the aid and support of the Methodist church South to send them to the “Dark Continent” to work for the cause of Christ. The preposition to require the treasurer of the board of missions to give a bond was promptly, if not indignantly,oppos-ed and defeated by a large majority. A resolution was offered by Dr. Peter-son officially approving the Payne and Lane institutes (colored schools), and appointing a commissioner who should devote his time to raising money for their support. News was received of the death of Rev. Nathan S. Carroll, of Kansas City. The conference joined in prayer for the blessing and comfort of God for the be-reaved family. The committee on Sunday schools re-ported in favor of organizing young people’s leagues in Sunday schools to furnish greater opportunities to young people to work. The report was adopted without debate. A proposition to estsblish a weekly paper to be called The Youth was in-definitely postponed. Adjourned. Two new bishops, Haygood of Ala-bama and Fitzgerald of Nashville, were consecreated this afternoon at Centenary church in the presence of the conference and a large number of people, Bishop Keener officiating. No Right to Sell Liquor. Nevada, Iowa, May 22.—Judge Hind-man of the district court, in his charge to the grand jury at the opening of court to-day took the ground that notwiih-standing the late decision of the United States supreme court, no person has a right in this state to keep a place for the sale of intoxicating liquors of any kind, either in original packages or otherwise, and that it was the sworn duty of grand jurors to report to the court bv indict-ment any person charged with keeping any such place, without regard as to where such liquors came from. He maintained that interstate commerce has nothing to do with the question, and that the keeping of a place for the sale of liquors is a nuisance, no matter how they are dealt out.

Mr. Cox then offered a reso-lution to refer the matter to a special committee who shall present a more succinct statement of the question. Mr. Cox said that the action of the assembly had been misconstrued, even oy some members of the assembly. The assem-bly should go on record, he thought, as unmistakably favoring temperance re-form. Rev. W. A. Alexander offered a sub-stitute that the thanks of this assembly he extended to the special committee for their earnest work in this matter and that no further action be taken on it and that this assembly affirm the deliverance 01 the previous assemblies ’ on temper-ance. Rev. Mr. Alexander’s substitute was adopted. Rev. Mr. Flournoy submitted a reso-lution asking that a committee be ap-pointed to prepare papers on such sub-jects as “Love of money,” “Christian Givers” and “Worldly Amusements,” and that copies be sent to ministers with the request that sermons ho preached on those topics. The question was liberally discussed and Dr. Hemphill rose and remarked that as long as he was in the pulpit be would preach on those subjects from a sense of duty and that he did not con-sider that anybody had to tell him how or when to do it and that the assembly was constantly lowering, not only in the eyes of the Presbyterians, but of the ministers, by just such acts as the one propoasd. The resolution was tabled. Adjourned. Tlie American Doctors.. Nashville, May 22,—The annual medical association to-day elected Dr. W. T.
