A BATTLE EOIAL L BEATER COUKTT
By a decisive majority anti-Delamater
delegates were elected in Franklin county.
They announce that they will vote for any
candidate, except the man from Crawford.
The Bedford and Butler conventions rat
ified the action of the primaries in favor of
Stone, Pattison secured several solid dele

representatives are friendly to 'Wallace.
The struggle for Legislative and Congress

ISPECIAL TELEGBAX TO TUE DI6FATCH.I
Chasibebsbubg, May 27. The unex
pected happened to-day in the County
Bepublican Convention. The Delamater
delegates were beaten by a telling majority.
The "old green spot" has seen many a hard
fought political battle in the past, but all
were dwarfed by the exciting contest to-day
between Delamater and anti-Delamater
factions.
The latter came in on the home stretch
easy winners, and to-night the anti-Delamater
men are saying, "We are the people,"
and the Delamater men are routed bag and
baggage. The primaries on Saturday were
the hottest ever held here, but to the out
sider they seemed to decide nothing. Both
sides claim the victory with a persistency
that was bewildering.
COUNTED THEIB CHICKENS.
The Delamater men were aggressive and
positive, and showed the figures to back up
their claims. The anti-Delamater men were
quiet and determined. They said they were
content to wait, and show their hands to-day.
To-day's convention proved that they had
enough and to spare.
An enormous crowd thronged the conven
tion hall larger than any number ever
gathered at a previous convention. There
were 30 candidates for county offices, and
the Governorship fight was made uncertain
by the fear of many delegates to commit
themselves lest they jeopardize the interests
of the candidate from their localities.
WANTED ALI. OE NOTHING.
The two Delamater and the two anti
Delamater candidates made a personal can
vass of the delegates, and all understood
that it was to be a fight to the finish. Both
asserted that they wanted both delegates or
none and would listen to no talk of com
promise. County Chairman John A. Seid
ers, and Edward S. Bnively, of Shady
Grove, were the Delamater candidates for
delegates, and they had the personal assur
ances of sufficient delegates last night to
make their election sure.
Colonel George B. Wiestling, who is very
popular in the county, and Hon. W. W.
Britton were the opposition candidates.
Colonel Wiestling came from Mont Alto to
Chambersbnrg last nicht covere3 with war
paint, and went to mork most energetically.
ENOUGH AND TO SPABE.
In convention to-day trading was in
dulged in very freely, the 36 candidates
affording excellent opportunities for this,
and by the time the election for delegates
was reached Wiestling and Britton had
secured enough votes to win. The vote for
State delegates was: Wiestling. 108;
Britton, 98; Seiders, 67; Snively, 63W.
The Delamater men received the announce
ment of the result with silence, but the
victors loudly applauded.
The county ticket nominated was: Leg
islature, Hon. W. C. Kreps, of Green Cas
tle, and B. F. Welty, of Washington;
County Treasurer, William I". Eyster, of
Chambersburg; Prothonotary, W. M. Gil
Ian, of St Thomas; Register and Becorder,
Bobert S. Smilev, of Chambersbnrg; Clerk
of the Court, D. L. Grove, of Waynesboro;
County Commissioners, John Hnnsicker, of
Hamilton, and George W. Frye, of Peters;
Director of the Poor, George W. Immel, of
Chambersburg; County Auditors, Jacob W.
Zug, of Greene, and John S. Immel, of
Greene; Coroner, Dr. H. K. Bonbrake, of
Chambersburg.
EVERYBODY BUT QUAY.
The resolutions indorse Harrison, Beaver,
Eeed, McKinley, the border raid bill, and
submit to the Congressional Conference the
propriety of basing representation in the
conference on the vote instead of giving
each county three conferees. Colonel Wies
tling this evening told The Dispatch
correspondent that the delegates would go
to the convention to vote for any man who
would make a stronger candidate than Dela
mater. "I cannot say whether I will vote for
Hastings, Stone, Montooth, Paxson or Os
borne," he said. The result of the election
vas received with surprise, and people and
politicians profess themselves unable to un
derstand the sudden turn of affairs.

Beaver, May 27. The political situa
tion in Bepublican circles almost upon the
eve of the primaries can so far as the im
portant officers are concerned, be described j
as still in a chaotic condition. Little tbat
is hopeful in the way of forecasting the re
sults can be gathered from the 36 candi
dates, almost every one of whom professes
to regard his chances as the best and has a
larce following to emphasize his claims.
While of course the greatest interest cen
ters in the Congressional and Legislative
fights, there are several very knotty contests
in progress lor offices of less greatness, and
no candidate is likely to have a walk-over.
This is particularly true of the Congres
sional and Legislative honors. C. C.
Townsend, the present Bepresentative and
candidate for renomination, derives
his strength mainly from his con
nection with the BJver and Har
bor Committee, and his success in
securing an appropriation for a dam across
the Ohio river below the mouth of the
Beaver river. His efforts in behalf of a
public building for Beaver Falls are also
urged in his favor, and the point made is
that if he is not sent back to Congress those
interests may suffer in the hands of another.
His opponent, Oscar Xi. Jackson, has a large
acquaintance in Beaver county, especially
among the old soldiers, to whom he stands
very near, on account of his efforts and suc
cess in securing pensions and furthering
pension legislation. The situ ation, as a
whole, in the Congressional fight is regarded
as about identical with that of four years
ago.
THE OTHEE COUNTIES.
Butler delegates, as is well known, have
been instructed for Black, Mercer for Mc
Dowell, and Lawrence for Jackson. It is
claimed by the Jackson followers that when
Black's supporters see the helplessness of
their position they will fall in line for the
Lawrence connty man to punisb Townsend
for the alleged breach of faith in standing
for a renomination after pledging himself
not to be a candidate for a second term. The
Jackson people say they are reasonably sure
of the support of the Butler county contin
gent, with Mercer and Beaver connties to
draw upon for the one vote needed. It is
also stated that Jackson has the one dele
gate required because ol the inadvertance of
Townsend's managers. The latter claim that
they have captured one of Jackson's men at
home, and that others upon whom his hold
is slight are being weaned away.
The interest in the Legislative outcome is
at fever heat owing largelv to the fact that
Senator Quay's son "Dick" is one of the
candidates. While there is a growing dis
position to rezard as true Senator Quay's
claim early in the campaign, namely, that
he wonld keep his "hands off" as between
the various candidates, his Legislative slate
was long since known to be Quay, Jr., and
Bobert L. Sterling, of Raccoon township.
The refusal of Hon. Ira Mansfield, of Bea
ver, and Dr. J, B. Lockhart, of Freedom, to
withdraw has
COMPLICATED MATTERS
to an extent that has rendered the boldest
chary about predictinz who will be

conceded that his father's son will be a sure
winner. While the most sanguine of
Dick's opponents hardly dare pre
dict his defeat for the nomination.
mere is a lacuon, unorganized, it is true,
but none the less virulent in its opposition
to tbe yonng man, having its greatest
strength in Beaver Falls, but numbering
among its adherents and, workers, a small
party at the county seat and numerous sup
porters throughout the county.
Against "Dick" Quay personally these
people have little or nothing. Beyond the
fact that he is young and inexperienced, and
by nature and associates not "in touch"
with the horny-handed sons of toil, there is
little urged against him. The disposition
seems to be to visit upon the son's head the
alleged shortcomings of the father.

rSFSCIAX, TELEQBAM TO THS CIS PATCH. 1
Geeknsbueg, May 27. As tie dates for
the primary elections of both parties ap
proach, interest in the result in the county
deepens. The Bepublican primaries will
occur on tbe 7th of Jnne, while the Demo
crats will hold theirs just seven days later.
Both parties will elect delegates to the State
Convention, and the indications now are
that the electors will go to Harrisburg un
instructed, althouch it is generally believed
that Major E. A Montooth will receive the
Bepublican delegation.
Pattison seems to be the favorite with the
Democrats in this county. An exception
ally warm fight is being waged for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Begister and Be
corder. The candidates are Major James
M. Laird, A. A. Cribbs and Mr. Conway.
The Democrats are displaying more energy
this campaign than they have in any pre
vious light for years. The knowing poli
ticians say tbat ex-Sheriff Gufiey will be
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
tbe district, and should Colonel Huff re
ceive tne indorsement of the Bepublican
conferees it will undoubtedly be a fight to
the finish without gloves.

New Yoek, May 27. The Bepublican
State Committee met this morning at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. The members were
reticent as to why the meeting was called so
much earlier this year. General Knapp
denied that the meeting had been called to
consider the question of holding a State
Convention. Secretary Charles Chickering
said that the committee had been compelled
to assemble thus early in order to meet the
requirements of the new ballot election law.
The law stated that only 300 voters should
reside in one election district, and this
would necessitate the division of many of
tbe present districts, and the appointment
of additional inspectors. A new member

Philadelphia. May 27. Ex-Senator
Wallace has determined to fight the Pat
tison forces in this cityon their own ground.
During his stay at the Continental Hotel
during the past few days he has been called
upon by John E. Faunce, who is anxious to
be second on a State ticket with Mr. Wal
lace at its head as the candidate for Gov
ernor, Samuel Josephs, and other leading
party workers. The Wallace people favor
Faunce's candidacy tor second place on tbe
ticket and will give him their support. A
strong effort will be made to divide the
Fhiladelpnia delegation and weaken the
x'attison forces.
The Wallace men claim that outside of
this citv Pattison will receive but few votes
in the Eastern counties of the States. They
admit his strepgth in the Western section,
and will try to break it by selecting a can
didate from that end of the State for the
nomination for Secretary of Internal Affairs.
Samuel Josephs, who has. been associating
politically for some years past with the
leaders in control of the local Democratic
organization, has turned in for Wallace's
nomination, and to-day held a long confer
ence with the ex-Senator at the Continental
Hotel.
Should the Wallace peonle obtain control
of the State Convention the Committee on
Credentials will be asked to recommend the
appointment of a commission, to be ap
pointed by the president of the convention,
for tbe purpose of considering the snbject of
a change of rules for the control of tbe party
organization in this' city. The Wallace
forces claim that a change of the party rules
will benefit the organization; that the
present rules have too many sections in
them which permit fraud to be worked ont
while living up to the letter of the section
of the rules referred to, and that party strife
is likely to be continuous unless a change
be made.

Butleb, May 27. The Bepublican
County Convention met at 1 P. m., and was
attended by candidates and politicians from
all parts of the connty. There was a spirited
contest before the convention met for the
Chairmanship of tbe County Committee,
but when the time arrived for the election
of the officers all opposition had disap
peared, and S. H. Huselton, Esq., of But
lec, had a walkover. The utterances of the
convention were remarkable chiefly for
what they did not say. There were two
resolutions, one of which indorsed the
national and State administrations,
while the other simply commended the
ticket as worthy of support without naming
any candidates or instructing tbe delegates.
The vote itself was instructions enough, and
there was ao disposition to evade or misin
terpret it.
The ticket is as lollows:"For Sheriff; Wnii
M. Brown, of Forward township; Pro
thonotary, Captain J. G. Bippns, Oakland
township; Begister and Becorder, D. E.

and J. Albert, of Franklin; Coroner, John

Convention, ran in the interest of Stone and
will vote for him in the convention. The
popular vote was strongly in Stone's favor,
and leaves no room for doubt as to how they

Steacuse, May 27. Dr. J. Gilhert
Justine's experiment to-day at Perryville In
firing shells charged with dynamite from a
Biakely rifle ended with a tremendous ex
plosion on the first shot. The big gun went
all to pieces, hurling massive chunks of
iron in all directions among the hundreds
of sightseers, and the many escapes from a
horrible death were most miraculous, to say
the least. As it was, one jot two were
slightly hurt by flying pieces of metal.
The incoming trains brought hundreds of
people from far and near to witness the ex
periment. Among the most prominent ones
were Commander Jewell, from the torpedo
station at Newport, who represented the
United States Government, ex-Lieutenant
Maynard, of the United States navy, and
Yung Wings, ex-commissioner of education,
representing the Chinese Government, Large
delegations of business men came from
Syracuse, Utica and Elmira to see both the
gun and the fun.
A selic of xhe was.
The experiment was conducted in a large
ravine near the town of Perryville. The
Hu uscu was u xnajLoiy rme ui maoiucu
bore, which had done good service in the
Confederate cause in the War of theBe
bellion. The target was an almost perpen
dicular cliff of solid rock, one-third of a
mile distant, over which the water rushes
in a series of cascades through the ravine.
Six nine-inch shells, 41 inches long, had
been prepared for the occasion. Each was
as follows: An outer shell of seven-sixteenths
steel enclosed in inner shell, which
contains the dynamite, which in tnrn is en
closed in cylindrical wooden boxes. Cart
ridges of "giant powder" are put into these
boxes and placed in a resilient earth known
as kieselguhr. Cocoa compressed common
powder, which burns slowly and is pro
gressive, was used for firing the rifle.
It was something after 2 o'clock when
everything was in readiness for the test.
The woods and hills ronnd about were then
covered with people, and down in the ravine
the sewing society of the local village
chnrch had a booth where they dispensed
picnic lemonade and sandwiches with
patent insides. Despite the siens posted
here and there reading: "Dynamite! Dan
gerous!" many of the country people
crowded round about the gun or gaped into
the wooden house where Dr. Justine has his
nitro-glycerioe stored
TO CATCH IT ON THE FLY.
Some half-dozen., njmatenr j)h.otographer
took up positions near the big rifle and"adV
justed their slides for the coming explosion.
The major portion ot the crowd climbed to
the brow ot the hill overlooking the ravine.
Suddenly the cry rang out that the fu6e was
fired and everybody held their breath. In
a second there was a puff of smoke and then
a tremendous report. In a twinkling huge
masses of iron were seen spinning; in the airv
in all directions and everybody had to look
ont, for there was no Bpot which escaped the
flying debris. It is most miraculous that
many were not killed, for the tremendous
force of the dynamite scattered the gun in a
tnousano iraginents wmcu new in as many
different directions.
Inventor Justine and a Syracuse shoe
merchant, named Cassius Brand were behind
a tree 20 yards away when the breech of the
gun went' whizzing by them. Had they
been unsheltered, they must have been in
stantly killed. A bevy of doctors from
Cazenovia and Woodstock, took similar
refuge behind a big stump ot a tree about 15
yards to the west of the gun. The right arm
of the rifle shot over this stump bounding
into the water and covering the doctors with
dirt and powder.
A BATHES HABBOW ESCAPE.
Among those who took refuge behind the
stnmp was Lawyer Dennison, the one who
secured Dr. Justine's patent. Mr. Den
nison was peering over the stump to see the
big gun go off, when suddenly he was trans
fixed to the spot with fright. A 1,000
pound piece of the right arm grazed his
head, covering hiui with powder and dirt.
One young man had planted his camera
tripod within 20 yards of the gun and ex
posed the negative when the signal to fire
was eiven and apiece of the breech nearlv
took off his head, so that it was a consider
able time before he manifested any curiosity
regarding the condition ot the negative.
The occurrence was photographed on his
memory lor all time. Dr. Justine's wife
was standing behind a clump of trees near
her husband. The end of the breech of the
big gun was driven back throngh the gun
carriage cutting a swath through tbe young
sapphngs and plowing the earth within a
few yards of her.
From the hillside where The Dispatch
representative had taken his. stand for ob
servations, the explosion was most grand
and
awe-inspiring. Great masses of iron
shot into the air over 1.000 feet hmh
When thesejnasses descended thousands of
eyes followed their flight witn breathless
suspense, for the hnge chunks went down
into the very heart of the crowd.
TIME TO DODGE.
Fortunately they were shot np so high
that their line of descent allowed every one
a minnte or two to dodge them. As it was
one chunk weighing half a ton plunged
inree leet into tbe earth alongside a Svra
cuse merchant. After the sudden panic
had subsided every one rushed down in the
raving to see the destruction that the explo
sion had wrought.
There was not a vestige of the hie ran in
the position it had originally ocenpied. In
other words, over 12 tons of steel had been
distributed promiscuously over hill and
dale in fragments of from one ounce to one
ton, and this, too, in every conceivable
point of the compass. One of the first men
to inspect tbe pieces of tbe shattered gun
was Commander Jewell, of the Newport
torpedo station.
"The trouble seems to have been with the
cartridge, primarily," said he. "The steel
shell was only partly filled, and hence cer
tain parts had to support a very heavy
strain. Now, the action of dynamite is in
the direction of the least resistance. The
shock of discharge evidently brofce the thin
steel casing of the projectile, thus letting
the flames from the powder reach the dyna
mite which would have produced the ex
plosion. Air AWCIEST WEAPON.
"In the next place, the guu was an ex
ceedingly old one, and should not
have been used in an experiment of this
kind, which requires the strongest kind ot a
rifled gun. This gun was in the War of the
Rebellion, and served out its days of useful
ness. Even With powder alone it was not a
kiafe piece, to fire. Aa it was. the broken
pieces show the metal to have been full of
uaws,and utterly unfit for the present pur-
The inventor, Dr. Justine, was consider
ably cast down over the unfortunate term
mt,1X of t0-day' experiment. Said he:
J March last we fired some half dozen
hells with great success. The last weighed
oil pounds, carried 18 pounds of dynamite,
and was projected bv 35 pounds of powder.
In to-day's test the s"hells were not so heavi
ly charged, and yet we have met failure.
I attribute the hsrd luck not to the system,
tit the defect in the construction of the
Shell, as well of the old gun we used. We
Idund portions of the shell up near the cliff,
showing conclusively that there must have
been two explosions, and these not quite
simultaneously. This would go to show
that the shell must have got wedged into
the gun. The rifling on the broken piece
shows that it was internal pressure that
caused the bursting. We will try tbe ex
periment again within the present year."

tice Qorman said was the most remarkable
appeal for proteotion that he had ever heard,
was made to him to-day at the Tombs Court
by Suen Yee, a 19-year-old Chinese girl who
had been a prisoner in Mott street for a
year. Two police officers found the cirl in
the rooms of Lee Khi, on the top floor of
the big Chinese tenement at 11 Mott street,
and arrested them. Suen Yee's hiding
placewas discovered two weeks ago, and
after investigating the case, a reporter went
before Justice Gorman to-day and made
affidavit that Suen Yee was being held
against her will by Lee Khi.
There was a sensation in Mott street when
the arrests were made. There are only
six native women in all the Chinese colony,
and they are kept hidden from the sight of
Caucasians. A crowd trooped noisily after
the little Chinese woman. She is slender,
good looking and modest in deportment.
buen's arrival in court made a bigger stir
even than her appearance on the street It
was the first time that a Chinese woman had
ever entered the gloomy court room. She
torn tbe interpreter tbat she was born
in Amoy, China, and that she came to
San Francisco five years ago. There she
got acquainted with Ah Boon, a good
looking young Chinaman, who, when he
was not playing fan tan, made love to her.
He" told her New York was a paradise for
Chinese girls, and she yielded to his repre
sentations and came here. Ah Hoon took
her to Lee Khi's place. The young gam
bler had hard luck bncking the Chinese
tiger, apd in a few months was bankrupt.
Lee Kbl had taken a strong fancy to the
Chinese), maid, and Ah Hoon agreed to part
with Suen for ?600, which Khi paid, and
the girl, was turned over to him as if she
had been so much tea or rice.
"Lee Khi forced me to live with him,"
Suen sajd, "and to go with other Chinamen.
If I refused he beat me with a blackjack'.
I was afraid of him. I want to live better.
I should'like to live like an American lady
and be eood."
Lee Khi stood listening with a scared
look while the girl was telling her story.
He denied Miss Suen's charge, and Justice
Gorman said he wonld .give the case a
thorough examination to-morrow afternoon,
and hold Khi in $2,500 bail.
AGAIN HE ESCAPES.

Cannifthn Woman. -
Geand Falls, Que., May 27. Ex
Sergeant at Arms Silcott, of the United
States Congress, and a French-Canadian
woman have been staying in St. Lonis
parish, in the Sagnenay region. Mr. May
berry, of the Grand Falls Hotel, learned of
this from the lumbermen and afler some
delay in getting advice from Washington,
he started with a warrant for their arrest.
He returned to Grand Falls late on Satur
day night and said the couple had flown.
Three days before he reached the place the
woman sailed on the Quebec steamer, and
when he arrived, Silcott was not to be found
and none of tbe natives knew were he was.
A little hut, 12 miles in the woods, which
the couple had occupied all winter, was
empty. Mr. Mayberry learned tbat Silcott
bought a lot of lumber and had the hut
built. It was near the camp of some lumber
men who supplied the couple with most of
their food. The lumbermen said the coaple
had plenty of money. Mr. Mayberry has
no doubt that the man was Silcott.

AN ENTERING WEDGE
Sure to Lead to tbo Destruction of
Inter-State Commerce.
THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL
Meets With Strong Opposition Upon Con
stitutional Grounds.
McKISLEI'S MEASURE IN THE SENATE.
Sherman 8ajs It Will Sot bs Reported by tbe Com
mlttn Until July.
Wilson's bill to allow States to regulate
or prohibit the traffic in liquors in original
packages was considered in the Senate yes
terday. A number of speeches were made
against the measure. The tariff bill will bo
taken up by the full Finance Committee,and
will not be reported before July 1.
Washington, May 27. The Senate to
day resumed consideration of the bill sub
jectins imported liquors to the provisions of
the laws of the several States, tbe question
being on the substitute -reported yesterday
from the Judiciary Committee providing
that liquors so transported shall, when their
actual and continuous transportation shall
have terminated, be considered to have
ceased to be tbe subjects of commerce with
foreign nations and among the several
States, and shall be a part of the common
mass of property within the State, and be
subject to its police regulations.
Mr. Coke argued against the constitu
tional right of Congress to relegate its
delegated powers back to the States. Mr.
George made a constitutional argument on
the question and gave his support to the
bill.
A PEBPLEXING QUESTION.
Mr. Bustis said that the question pre
sented by the bill under discussion was a
very perplexing one. On the one hand
large property interests were represented,
and on the other hand, there was encoun
tered a strong moral .sentiment in one or
two or more States. The difficulty in the
question arose in tbe attempt to reconcile
tbe conflict between the rights of property,
under tbe Constitution and laws, and that
moral sentiment known as prohibition. To
day it was proposed to legislate against the
breweries of Milwaukee and of St. Lonis,
and against tbe distilleries of Kentucky,
North Carolina and Illinois.
"And of New York," said Mr. Blair.
"Yes, of New York and New Hamp
shire," said Mr. Eustii. Laughter.
"It is proposed," continued Mr. Eustis.
"to tell the people of Iowa that they shall
have the power to regulate commerce be
tween themselves and all the other States
on the liquor question."
JUST THE BEGINNING.
To-morrow they wou'd be asking for the
exclusion of cottonseed oil, of which the
State of Louisiana prodnced a large amount
in value. Then they would be asking tbat
drossed beef from Illinois and tobacco from
North Carolina should not be considered an
article of commerce within the meaning of
the Constitution. And thus power would
be given to each State to build on its ex
terior limits an Impenetrable wall that
should exclude the product of every foreign
country and of every other State.
The pendintfbill couldhot become a law
with the help of his vote. He was a States'
rights Democrat of the strictest sect, and was
in favor of the States exercising, to an un
limited extent, the rights which they had
reserved. But the powers which thev had
lodged in the Federal Government, and
lodged wisely, he wanted the Federal Gov
ernment to exercise exclusively. It had
been amusing, he said, to hear Bepublican
New England Senators preaching the doc
trine ot States' rights. He had been sur
prised at the sudden conversion of these
Bepublican Senators.
A TEBY SUDDEN CHANGE.
He!could not understand how it was that
they had abjured their political faith, re
nounced their political education, repu
diated their political convictions, and falsi
fied their political records. Such a per
formance, intended only to captivate the
excited imagination of a prohibition audi
ence, had been to him inexpressibly comic.
But tbe noviate of these Senators had
been too short. Their probation too
light to justify their being admitted
into full fellowship with believers
in States' rights. If, on the
question of a Federal election law, and on
the question of civil rights, those Senators
should show that they had counted their
beads and said their prayers and were trnly
penitent, States' rights men would be ready
to give them their holy blessing.
After further debate the bill went over
without action, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, giving
notice that he would ask the Senate to re
main in session to-morrow until the bill was
disposed of.
The House Committee on Commerce this
morning agreed to favorably report the bill
providing tbat no State shall be restrained
in its power to prohibit or restrain tSe sale
or transportation of oleomargarine.
IN SESSION ALL STJHHEB.
Tbo Tariff Bill Will Not be Reported to the
Senate Until July.
Washington, May 27. After disposing
of a few private bills to-day the Senate Com
mittee on Finance tbok np the tariff bill.
On motion of Mr. Sherman it was voted to
consider tbe bill in fnll committee instead
of referring to a sub-committee. The com
mittee will meet Thursday to begin its
labors. Senator Sherman said that under
the plan adopted the bill could not be re
ported to the Senate by July 1. ,
Upon the subject of giving hearings to
persons and delegations interested in the
bill, Senators Morrill aud Sherman ex
pressed themselves in favor of so doing, and
the latter was not inclined to fix a limit
npon the time to be accorded the various
interests, it is believed tbat when the
committee meets Thursday, hearings will be
formally agreed upon. If this plan of
procedure prevails, the session will be
materially prolonged.

First Report of tbo Eleventh Census
Comparative Fignresi
Washington, May 27. The Cenius
Office to-day made public the first results of
the eleventh census in relation to State and
local finance. It consists of a preliminary
report by Mr. T. Campbell Copcland.
The reports show tbat the princi
pal of the State debts at the
present time is $228,679,817. Of this
amount $191,954,206 is bonded debt, and
$33,725,610 floating debt. This shows a net
decrease in the total debt during the last
ten years of $54,459,484, the bonded debt
having been decreased br $64,083,449, and
floating debt increased by $9,623,764. The
changes in the same debt, by geographical
divisions, have been as follows:
Total in 1830. Dec. since 1S80
Eastern States. S39,S74.068 J1L2M.117
Middle States 33,498,112 11.387,482
Southern States.... 107,016,077 28,022,(1
Western States 47,531.261 S,752.iC0
Total $223,679,817 J5M59,4S4
Tbe States have reduced their debts to
this extent, says the report, mainly by ap
plying to the redemption of their obliga
tions the revenues not needed for current
expenses. In a few cases, however, a re
ductiou of the debt has been effected by tbe
eniorced redemption of obligations at a dis
count, but the amount of reduction through
this process cannot be ascertained until the
statements of outstanding debts in tbose
States have been compared with the cash re
ceipts and expenditures on account of the
debt for the same period and the differences
noted.
As to the connty indebtedness the report
shows the total bonded debt of the 2,809
counties in tbe United States and Territor
ies to be $130,734,959 as against $104,493,752
in 1880. The floating debt of these counties
in 1880 was $16,745,331, while their present
floating debt is $14,958,881, a decrease of
$1,786,450. This shows an increase in the
total debt of the counties of tbe United
States daring the last ten vears of $24,454,

ISrZCIAI. TELIOllAM TO TltX DI8FATCFM
Washington, May 27. Congress is
likely to pass the bill placing B. E. Jack
son on the list of ensigns of the navy.
Jackson was a naval cadet on the Trenton
at Samoa during the hurricane. When
Lieutenant Brown gave bis novel order
for all the men to mass in the
rigging there was a hesitation. Jackson
was the first .to realize the command, and
led the way into theropes. The men fol
lowed, and'by this human sail the vessel
aud 450 lives were saved.
Jackson failed to pass his examination
and was dismissed from the service. He
has since been studying medicine at bis
North Carolina home. He has had the
support of Brown and Captain Farquhar in
this matter, and they are delighted to-day
over the fact that the House Naval Com
mittee recommends the passage of the Jack
son bill.

One of the large native tribes of Africa
has revolted against the Portuguese and
forced an expedition to retread. Heretofore
they have been on friendly terms with the
Europeans. Great apprehension is felt for
the safety of missionaries and other whites
in that region.
fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.:
Lisbon, May 27. News has just reached
bere from Africa ot the scattering of Cap
tain Consiero's expedition, the remnants of
which are now at Caconda. The chief of
the noted Bihe people has rebelled, and the
consequences may be serious for any white
people in the region where they dwell.
The Bihe plateau is about 300 miles east
of the Portuguese port of Benguela. on the
west coast Owing to its elevation it is one
of the healthiest parts of Africa, and white
men live there in comfort and prosperity.
The people of Bihe are a very numerous
and superior people, as African tribes
go. They are skillful agriculturists
and ironworkers, but they are
chiefly known as travelers. Parties of them
go from Bihe to the very center of the con
tinent with European goods to sell for ivory
and slaves, and their activity made Biha
one of the great slave markets of inner
A'rica. Explorers on the west coast think
their fortune is made if they can get a lot of
Bihe porters. They are all armed with guns.
This region is in Portuguese territory,
and the troubles tbe powerful Bihe chief
has been having with the white authorities
has culminated in an attack upon the
Portuguese, who have retreated southwest
to Caconda, nearly halt way to the coast.
The famons Silva Porto is reported to have
killed himself. He was probably tbe richest
white man in inner Africa, and" he aeenmn
lated his property by trade between Biha
and the interior.
There will be some anxiety in this country
until news is received of the" safety of Mr.
Sanders anil his wife and other acrents of
the American Board of Foreign Missions
who have been established at Bihe for a
number of years. Their relations with the
people have, since their expulsion from
Bihe a number of years aso. been quite
cordial, and it is entirely probable that they
are not involved in the troubles with the
Portuguese.
EXONERATED FROM BLAME.

Sofia. May 27. In tbe Panitza trial to
day the Pnblic Prosecutor In his address
exonerated Panitza from any intention to
murder Prince Ferdinand or any one else,
and also exonerated the Czar and Bussian
Minister Hitrovo Irom all knowledge of the
plot. Bnt he contended that the Ottoman
penal code required the death sentence for
Panitza, Arinandaoff and PitzofF, and a
long imprisonment for the others accused.
Major Panitza's counsel opened the case
for the defense. He described the whole
case as a ridicnlous affair, to which tho
penal code was in no way applicable.
Be refuted the charges against Panitza,
who, he sMd, was known for his
bravery and patriotism. The arrest of
Panitza, he maintained, was a violation ot
the law. As for the letters which had been
presented in evidence thev were not worth
refuting. Not a single argnment had been
adduced to prove that Panitzi authorized
the correspondence with Captain Koio
