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.

The General Assembly.
Asheville, N. C., May 22.—The gen-eral
assembly to-day adopted the report
of the committee on foreige missions. It
recommends annuities to the families of
deceased missionaries, the training of
youDg women for foreign missionary
work, that the church shall pav $115,-
000 the coming year for foreign missions
and that four additional men be com-missioned
to the missionary field in the
Congo free state.

was taken up aDd a recommendation was
made for the assembly to take action
against lotteries.
Mr. Cox moved to suspend the rules
and to consider the paper on temperance
submitted by the committee. Carried.
Mr. Cox moved to consider the vote.
Adopted. 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.
