report that General Jose 31. Barrnndia was
'murdered on board the Pacific Mail steamer
Acapnlco by the authoritiei of Gnatamala.
.The captain refused to give him np. bnt was
forced to do so by an order from the Ameri
can Minister, Mr. Mizner. The State De
'partment at Washington is awaiting full
information before taking any action upon
the matter.
rSPECIAL TXXXOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, August 3L There is a
chance for Blaine at last. The Stars and
Stripes have proved iobe no protection ior a
fugitive charged with a political crime, and
be was shot under the very shadow of the
ensign of freedom. Moreover, a diDlomatic
representative of the United States is
directly involved.
General Jose Maria Barrundiaa political
refugee from Guatemala, while traveling as
a passenger on board the Pacific Mail steam
ship Acapulco, flying the American flag,
has been attacked by the Guatemalean au
thorities and killed; and, according to the
best information available, the bloodshed is
due to the interference oi Mr. Mizner, the
United States Minister to the Central
American Bepnblics.
A Revolutionist nnd Exile.
General Barrundia was a citizen of Guat
emala, but not being in accord with the
present government of that Bepublic he was
a revolutionist ana an exile, ile was in
capulco, Mex., when he took passage
i.'Oard the Pscifc Mail Steamship Com-
any s steamer Acapulco for Acajutla, lo
an Salvador. Before reaching his destina
tion the ship had to stop at one or two
Guatemalan ports, including San Jose.
' Some reports say that before calling at San
I Jose, the steamer, with General Barrundia
aboard, called at the port of Champenco,
that the Guatemalan authorities at that port
demanded the surrender of General Bar-
ruuuia, but that Captain Pitts, the com
mander of the Acapulco, refused to give up
his passenger. The United States Consular
Agent at Cbamperico is said to have ordered
CaDtain Pitts to make the surrender, but the
Captain still refused and sailed from Cam
perico to San Jose.
The Odds Wero Too Grcnt.
At San Jose, however, the odds against
him were greater. Our State Department
is usually represented at that port by only a
consular agent The present consular agent
is Robert H. May. He, however, does not
figure prominently in the tragedy which
occurred there, for Minister Mizner appears
to have been himself at that port. Just
why he was there nohody knows except
himself.
Guatemala City is his proper official resi
dence, and while it is bis duty to travel oc
casionally from one Central American capi
tal to another, he must have had some rea
sons ot bis own outside of rm instrnctions
from the State Department for being at San
Tose at the exact time when the steamship
(Acapulco, with Barrundia on board, arrived
fthere.
The result of his presence and his per
nicious activity, it appears from all that
can be learned, was the killing of General
Barrundia by the Guatemalan police on
board oi a steamer flying the American
flan
which had been sufficient to save him
at Champerico, and onght to have been suf
ficient to save him at San Jose.
A Hernial to Surrender.
The Guatemalan authoritiefSSj Jose
anded the snrrender of Barrundia, just
iney had done at Champerico, and brave
iptain Pitts again refused to surrender the
passenger, whom he regarded as his protege.
He thought that on board a ship flying the
American flag the General should be as safe
as if he had been on American soil, and as
be was not charged with any extraditable
offense the Captain proposed to protect him
from molestation or arrest, and for a time
he succeeded.
But soon the pernicious activity of Lan
sing B. Mizner, our Minister to the Central
American Bepublic, became conspicuous
and effective. It setms quite too probable
that this indiscreet diplomat was at that
oort for the special purpose of helping the
lan Jose police to carry ont the instructions
f the Guatemalan Government, even it the
merican flag had to be outraged in doing
The brave American skipper stood out
mly against all the demands of the
tatemalan authorities until they were re-
orced by an order from American Minis-
tz Mizner.
Shot Down In Cold Blood.
The Captain was highly incensed at Mr.
Mirner's action and again protested against
the surrender of his passenger, but had to
accept the demand, which gnaranteed Bar
rundia's life. The Captain of the Port and
bis nine men went to the stateroom occu
pied by Barrundia, stationed themselves
about the door and then knocked. "When
Barrnndia appeared all fired upon him and
he fell dead, seven bullets having pierced
"ICi

servants
secured
his body. It was one of the moit cold
blooded murders that has occurred in the
annals of Guatemala, where life is sacri
ficed so cheaply. Captain Pitts was horri-
ft fied and angry, but was powerless to act
The State Department has received a re
port of the occurrence irom Mr. Mizner, but
just how much of a report he has made it is
impossible to say at present Mr. Wharton,
the acting Secretary of State, consented to
say that in a dispatch from San Jose the
Minister bad confirmed the report of the
killing of General Barrnndia on board the
steamship Acapulco, and that the Guate
malan police had fired the first shot Some
other reports had stated that General Bar
rundia had first fired at the officers who (rent
to arrest him.
Not n Success ni a Minister.
Mizner has been a partisan of Guatemala'
all through this struggle. Just whether the
State Department has instructed him to that
end is a State secret, which will not be
revealed at present Possibly Mizuer's
partisanship is to be traced to the fact that
the city of Guatemala is his official resi
dence, and that at that capital he will have
formed most ot his personal connections
and friendships.
Mizner is from California, He i the
United States Minister to the whole five
Central American States. He is the man
who, on presenting his credentials to the
President of Costa Rica.delivered an imper
tinent speech, which gave offense to Mexico
and placed Secretary Blaine under the nec
essity of making a humiliating apology to
that power. Secretary Blaine at that time
administered to Mr. Mizner a rebuke which
would have caused any self-respecting man
to have resigned his commission on the spot,
and at the name time it should be said that
Mizner at that time committed a blunder
for which many a Secretary of State would
have instantly recalled him, without any
hesitation and without any conditions.
THE LAWJNJHE CASE.
VERY SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE OC
CURRED BEFORE.
Precedent! Shotvlns; tlio Right of the Got
crnment to Make Arrests on a Merchant
Teasel Where Minister Mizner Made
Ills Great MIstnke.
Washington, August 3L The State
Department has taken measures to secure
full particulars of the shooting of General
Barrnndia on board an American vessel
lying in the port of San Jose, by officers of
the Guatemalan Government, and nntil the
exact facts and circumstances connected
with the affair are known, it does not care
to express any opinion of the case, or of the
course of Minister Mizner.
A case involving the identical principle
with that of General Barrnndia occurred in
Nicaragua, in 1885, and in that case Secre
tary Bayard informed our minister to Cen
tral America that the Nicaraguau Govern
ment had a right to take the
man wanted from on board an Ameri
can merchant vessel, provided she
were in Nicaragnan waters. The cose
was that of Jose Gomez. In a letter
dated Guatemala, February 10, 1883, Min-'
ister itaii imortnea secretary reling
huysen that he had been informed that the
Guatemalan Government proposed to take
from on board the Pacific Mail steamer
Honduras, then lyfng in San Juan-del Sur,
a passenger named Gomez, in transit for
Panama, but wanted in Nicaragua to an
swer a charge of being implicated in a re
cent insurrection in that country.
The Opinion ofOne Minister.
Minister Hall said that ' had directed
our Consul at Manaua to Inform the Nica
ragnan Government "that our Government
has never consented, and will never con
sent, to the arrest and removal from an
American vessel in a foreign port of
any passenger in transit, much less
if the offense is political." The cap
tain of the vessel did not give
up the man and sailed out of port without
securing proper clearance papers. He was
tried and convicted for it by the Nicara
guau authorities. The case came before the
State Department in this way, and it held
that Minister Hall had not acted according
to law. In his letter to the Minister, which
is dated March 12, 1885, Secretary Bayard
says:
It appears that Gomez voluntarily took pas
sage on the vessel, knowing that it would enter
en route a Nicarazuan port. It may be safely
affirmed that when a merchant vessel of one
country visits the ports of another for the pur
pose of trade It owes temporary allegiance and
is amenable to the jurisdiction of that country,
and is subject to the laws which governs the
port it visits so long as it remains, unless It is
otherwise nronded by treaty. Any exemption
or immunity from legal jurisdiction must be de
rived from the consent of that country.
Precedents for Such Action
It is said that cases have frequently oc
curred in which revolutionists and others
wanted for offenses of one character or an
other have been seized by the Hawaiian
Government while on British merchants
ships and Great Britain has not protested,
thus establishing diplomatic precedents.
Had the vessel been a man-of-war Barrundio
would not have been subject to jurisdiction
as war vessels carry everywhere thejnris
diction'of the country whose flag they fly.
The Barrundia affairs differs from the
others in that the man was shot, but the
rieht to seize beine conceded, the riirht
to kill if resistance is made is an old estab
lished principle of law.
The principal criticism made in diplo
matic circles of Minister Mizner's course
is that of unnecessary interference. It is
suggested that he might have simply stated
to the Guatemalans that they seized the man
at their own risk. But on this point it is
thought well to await knowledge of exactly
what the Minister said and did before pro
nouncing judgment upon his conduct

minister RIendonca Tells What Bis Country
Will Gladly Accede To.
Washington, August 31. The recip
rocity amendment to the tariff bill reported
from the Finance Committee last week was
last night the subject of an interview between
Senator Aldrich and Mr. Mendonca, the
Brazilian envoy on a special mission to the
United States. This amendment was re
ported alter a consultation of a general na
ture with Major McKinley, Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, and
other Republican leaders. In the in
terview last night Mr. Mendonca said
that the amendment as reported by Senator
Aldrich was satisfactory to Brazil, and that
she would be one of the first coun
tries to make concessions to the
United States in return for the removal of
duty on sugar.
Mr. Mendonca said his government would
not only remove the duty on farm products
exported from the United States,
but would admit free United States
agricultural implements and machin
ery, and railroad equipment and
supplies, including railroad iron. Brazil
would also, he said, make a reduction of at
least 25 per cent in the duty on cotton and
leather goods and clothing from the United
States.
TEE WEEK IK CONGRESS,
That Clavton-Drecklnrldce Contest Case to
Come Up In the Iloasr.
Washington, August 31. The confer
ence report on the river aud barbor bill
will be presented to the Senate early In the
week and Its consideration asked for.
The question may be disposed of
promptly, ' bat if it seems likely
to lead to an extended debate the report will
be laid aside and the discussion of the tariff
bill proceeded with. The debate on this
measure will close Saturday?
In the House to-morrow the day wjll be
given up to motions to pass motions under
suspension of the rules, including the Sen
ate resolution providing for the
removal ot General Grant's remains to Ar
lington. The Cla-rton-Breckinridee elec
tion case will probably come np Tuesday,
and the debate in connection with it is
expected to be of an interesting character.
After the election case has been disposed of,
it is the intention to set apart a day ior the
transaction of business pertaining to the
District of Columbia.

AEJvely Straggle Between the Two Branches

The Reciprocity Idea Finds Many Ene

trEOM X STAFF COEEESPOXDENT.
Washington, August 31. "I don't
want to be quoted as saying anything dis
couraging," said a great tariff advocate to
me this afternoon, "but I don't believe Con
gress will break away before the first of
October, and I would not be surprised if it
ran several days into that month. Take
the tariff bill alone." the representative con
tinued, "I tell you there is no
guessing when the Senators and we of the
House will come to an agreement on that
vexing measure. The Senate amendments
to tbe bill almost run into the hundreds and
each one of them will have to be considered
and adjusted by the Conference Committee.
Of course, many of them are verbal,
and many others are trivial, and will con
sume little time. But the serious diver
gence of opinion on the metal, glass and
other schedules and the entirely new theory
of reciprocity which it appears is to be
tacked onto 'the bill will require no one
knows how much time.
"Members of the Honse are determined to
make opportunity to air themselves on the
reciprocity question, if the amendment by
Senator Aldrich be in the bill as it finally
passes the Senate, and unless the Sen
ate recedes from this proposition it
is likely to make a prolonged fight
Between Blaine, the New England
Senators and Western and Northwestern
members of the Republican side, the Re
publicans have got into a snarl among
themselves on the tariff question which the
Democrats enjoy hugely. The manufactur
ing interests were never before at so great a
variance with the agricultural sections
on the question, and notwithstanding
the divergence this causes from party lines in
tbe party of the tariff in House and Senate,
Mr. Blaine steps in with a theory which
is. inconsistent, futile, and absurd. Blaine
is' an adept at keeping his name
before tbe public, and this is one
of his tricks. It sounds plausible but there's
nothing in ii, as I and others will show if
we get a chance. There are men in the
House of ability quite eaual to Mr. Blaine,
who do not propose to allow this spectacular
theory to go unchallenged.
"Of course," concluded the Representa
tive, "a tremendons pressure will be brought
to bear upon tbe leaders of the party on
every hand to close up matters and ad
journ, on account of tbe short time that will
remain for campaigning, but a little more
speechmaking here may be of greater im
portance than speechmaking elsewhere.

Title to 1,700 Acres of Land at the Cnpl
tnl in Dlspnte.
nSPZCTAL TELXQBAM TO THE DHPATCBM
Colttmbus, August31. Rodolpe Claugh
ton, of Washington, D. C, has secured a
power of attorney, which has been filed
with the Clerk oi this county, which author
izes him to prosecute claims in behalf 'of
heirs residing in this city for the recovery
of 1,700 acres of land, which includes a
part of the most wealthy and valuable por
tion of Washington City. The cloud
on the title to 'the property was
discovered by Mr. Clanghton in
an effort to dispose of the
property owned by ex-Secretary Whitney
at the close of President Cleveland's admin
istration. In running the1 title it was found
that an aged lady, Mrs. Wetzel, long since
deceased, was the legal owner of the 1,700
acres, and the next step was to find her
legal heirs. These are Mrs. Luther Don
aldson, Mrs. Eleanor Beggs, Mrs. Perry
Lapland, George Johnston, all of Columbus;
William and Charles Johnston, of New
Albany, u.; jurs. nannan Jage, Alecban
icsburg, O., and Mrs. Reizeu Ferguson,
Indianapolis.
Mrs. Wetzel wai the great grandmother
of these supposed heirs. From being an
attorney for Secretary Whitney in the sale
of his property, which constitutes a portion
of the tract, Mr. Claughton has become the
attorney for tbe heirs and will prosecute the
claims.

The Senator will leave the city to-morrow
morning for Doylestown, where he will visit
tbe Bucks County Fair and spend most of
the day among the blooded stock and pump
kins. From there he will make a big jump,
going way down to Washington county, in
the extreme Southwestern part of the State.
The County Fair is being held, and Tuesday
will be passed there.
Bv Wednesday the Senator will be re
quired to cross the State again, as he is due
at Stroudsburg on that day as a guest at

.(SPECIAL TEEEOUAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1-
Philadelphia, August 31. Under the
caption ot "The Battle in Pennsylvania"
tbe Timet will to-morrow size up the politi
cal situation as follows:- '
The advent of autnmn brings us face to face
with tbe great political conflict in Pennsylva
nia. It will be one of the most earnest and
probably desperate contests of our political
history, and It is exceptional in the exhibition
of individuality among all classes of voters.
Old methods, which are summed up in leaders
and followers, will be valueless In the Pennsyl
vania battle of 1S90. In the struggle for Gov
ernor, other important Btate officers, Congress
men, legislators and United States Senator,
there will be more individual study among the
varied industrial classes of the State of tbe is
sues Involved, and more independent voting
than in any campaign of tbe past What will
tbe harvest be?
To-day Senator Delamater wonld bo defeated
by ex-Governor Paulson not less than 60,000.
Thus far in tbe contest tbe popular tides have
been unmistakably against Delamater, and the
causes must be apparent to all who soberly
view the situation. It is not merely a cyclone
against Quayismt it is not in any measure a
want of personal respect for Delamater. The
tides which are clearly visible tolay have
many sources of Republican discontent, and
tbey make an aggregate of revolting elements
tbat would sweep Pattison into the Guberna
torial chair Dy a square majority much larger
than his plurality of 1882. The causes which
make Pennsylvania overwhelmingly against
Delamater to-day are not chiefly local. While

ization under the violent policy of the party
leaders iu Congress, and tbe- prostitution of
protection to wanton, wicked taxes on labor to
gratify banded greed, have broken the hitherto
impregnable labor lines of the organization
and there is revolution in the air. ,
To-day, on a poll of 200,000 in Philadelphia,
Delamater would be fortunate if be received
105,000 to 95.000 for Pattison, where Harrison
received 21,634 majority: and In the four counties
immediately surrounding tbe city Bocks,
Montgomery, Chester and Delaware where
Harrison received 8,578 majoritv, it is doubtful
whether Delamater could obtain any majority,
while a majority agalnst.blm is more than pos
sible. For the first time in many years, Berks
would to-day overbalance Lancaster, and
Lebanon, the Republican star that has
never faded, wonld not trlra him half
its 2,500 majority. In the coal regions
east ot the Alleghenies, both bitu
minous and anthracite, the revolt against
Delamater is unprecedented. When J. B. Rae.
President of the United Mine Workers of
America, and Hugh McGarvey, Chairman of
the Legislative Committee of the Knights of
Labor both Republicans in sympathy pub
licly declare the reasons why the Republican
miners will vote .for Pattison, tbey point un
erringly to revolution. This revolt not only
strikes the Democratic anthracite region and
the Clearfield bituminous section, out it unset
tles the Republican counties of Blair and
Huntingdon and many Republican counties in
the Pittsburg coal fields.
Allegheny, that cave Harrison 20,108 majority.
is unmistakably in tbe throes of revolution. Of
the six leading Republican journals in Pitts
burg, five TnE Dispatch, tbe Telegraph, the
Times, the Preu, and the Leader refuse to
support Delamater. Any one of these five Re
publican papers is much more widely road than
the Commercial Gazette, the single organ tbat
is battling against such fearful odds for Dela
mater; and there can be only one deduction
from this exceptional revolt of party organs
that Republican sentiment not only excuses
but demandB this wholesale rebellion. It
means tbat Allegheny, the Republican Gibral
tar of the West, trembles in the balance and
must be classed among tbe doubtful counties
to-day. In the Northwest,
delamater's own section
of the Btate, the rebellion is as sweeping as
elsewhere. Erie with her 2,261 for Harrison,
would to-day vote for Pattison. So wonld
Crawford, Delamater's own county, with ber
2,086 majority of 1888; so would Warren with
her 1,689 majority; so wonld Venango with her
679 majority; so would McKean with ber 1,044
majority. It is in this region tbat the farmers
have most vigorously asserted themselves, and
they will elect Tilden, the fusion Farmers' Al
liance and Democratic candidate for Con
gress in the Erie district In the counties con
necting the Northwest with Allegheny, But
ler, with her 1.372 Harrison majoiity, would
vote for Pattison by half as much or more to
day, and the general unrest of Mercer, Law
rence, Beaver and Washington .Is intensified
by the auctioned Congressional nomination in
the Beaver district In the Northern Repub
lican tier. Susquehanna, with her 1,691 Har
rison majority, is now claimed by botb sides,
and Bradford, Tioga and Potter would be cer
tain to split their large Republican majorities
in two in tbeir present situation, while the
Democratic counties of the Northeast, with
their large agricnltual industry, would now
give udprecedeuted majorities for Pattison.
Such is tbe political outlook in this the open
ing day of tbe great battle of 1890. The major
ity to be overcome is not 80,000, as many incon
siderately assume. None pretend that a fair
ly contested election in Pennsylvania can give
the Republicans over 40,000 majority, and the
present hopeful condition of the Democrats as
sures a solid vote for iu State ticket. There are
yet two months f orpolitical tides and ebbs, and
they will be two months of exhaustive effort
on botb sides. Can Delamater turn tbe adverse
tides in his favort or are they like tbe tides
of tbe Pontic sea- tbat know no ebbf Witb a
new and exceptionally potential Independent
Republican movement soou to assail Delama

moralized party majority in Congress, widening
and deepening distrust in and contempt for
Republican policy and autbority.and with Con
gress certain to continue its disturbing and
often disgraceful labors for a month, whence

A FORMIDABLE MOVEMENT.
What Chairman Mapes Saya of the Inde
pendent Republican Programme.
Philadelphia, August 31. The Indei
pendent Republican State Committee, as its
members choose to style themselves of
wbi"eh Mr. George E. Mapes, of this-city, ift
chairman, is moving slowly and secretly in
their preliminary work lor the coming cam
paign. They have secured headquarters on
the second floor of 93 L Chestnut street,
where their banners will be flung to the
breeze some time next week.
"There is nothing T care to say for pub
lication at this time," said Chairman Mapes,
"either about the Altoona conference or our
plans In the future. I can say that a few
gentlemen met at Altoona and decided on a
course of action. What that action is re
mains to be developed as this fall's cam
paign progresses."
"Do you consider the Independent move
ment this year as formidable. as the one
which secured the election of Pattison in-
1882?"
"It is more formidable than it was then,"
replied Mr, Mapes confidently. More than
that I cannot say. When our headquarters
are open and the active work ot tbe cam
paign begins we shall have considerably
more to say than at present Yes, sir, ours
will in a measure be a literary,or document
ary campaigu."
"When will ex-Senator Emery furnish
the proofs he has promised of his charges
against Senator Delamater?"
"That is for Senator Emery to answer
himself. I prefer that he should answer
any such questions personally,"
Mr. Mayes has temporarily relinquished
his position as a newspaper editorial writer
to devote his attention exclusively to the
work of the Independent Republican State
Committee.

Chableston, August 3L The most bit
ter political fight ever waged in West Vir
ginia is now in progress in this county be
tween tbe Nutler and Dils faction of, the
Republican party. The fight is really a
race war, as the Nutler people are white,
while tbe Dils people are most all colored,
with a few white leaders. The county con
vention three weeks ago became a mob, re
volvers were flourished, a dozen men were
knocked down and stabbed, and the police
were finally compelled to interfere. The
same night Nutler was waylaid and shot
twice.
One week ago members of the Nutler fac
tion raided the Slate Tribune office, beat
Editor Reber senseless and broke up tbe
office fixtures. Two days later Kutler and
John S. McDonald, custodian of tbe Fed
eral building, met P. W. Russell, one ot tbe
Dils leaders, on tbe street, drew their re
volvers and fired on bim. Russell escaped
without injury. Members of both factions
go armed and a bloody fight is imminent at
any time. The county gave over 1,600 ma
jority two.years ago, but the Democrats ex
pect to carry it now.

rBT DtTSLAT'S CAULS COMPAItT.l
Berne, August 31. Telegrams concern
ing the floods in the Tyrol say that the flood
area is much greater than it was in the dis
astrous floods of 1883 and the damages have
been immense, although as yet but two
human lives have been lost, so far as is
known. All railroad travel through the
afflicted districts is stopped. Stone dams
have been broken down and partially car
ried away. Those people who still remain
in the neighborhood live in upper stories of
their houses while many have even been
driven to the roofs.
Help haj been asked and is readily ex
tended from every quarter in the shape of
money and clothing. The Mayor and Coun
cil of the little village of Ragoz telegraphed
that the reports concerning the destruction
in that particular village have been some
what exaggerated, and their condition is not
alarming at present, as is generally under

Berlin, August 31. A postoffice assist
ant here, who has occupied a responsible
position for 23 years and risen to the enjoy
ment of a salary of 17 shillings per week,
suicided with a revolver to-day at his rooms
on tbe Reichenberger Strasse. Before kill
ing himself he blew out the brains ol his in
tended bride, Belene Richter, a beautiful
girl. When the police entered the apart
ments, attracted by the reports of the pistol,
they found the most squalid surroundings
and evidences of terrible poverty. ,
A letter written by the suicide, gave as a
reason for his act, a debt of 33 marks for
which he was being pressed and unable to
pay, and likewise the utter hopelessness of
his efforts even to earn sufficient in the
Government service to live upon, and the
abject poverty his position imposed upon
him and the girl he loved. The papers, in
commenting upon the case, suggest that it
should be made a reason for reform in the
schedule of salaries for faithful govern

BERLIN, August 31. Inquiries at the

demonstration, which was held in Berlin,
Friedricbshagen and other suburbs passed
off not only without bloodshed but
also with the arrest of very few people.
The police had orders to be firm but lenient
in its treatment of the assemblage, and very
lew soldiers were required to be on guard,
as no hostile feeling was shown by the
masses toward the military.
The soldiers who were kept in tbe bar
racks so as to be ready in the event of any
emergency, were given a holiday at 3
o'clock, when all occasion for alarm had
completely vanished, for the demonstration
bad become simply a picnic on a gigantic

St. Louis, August 31. For two weeks
past a mammoth tent on Jefferson avenue
bas been the scene of manifestation o' a
mysterious power that has pnzzled thousands
of interested spectators and some of the)
leading scientists of the city. The central
fienre in the proceeeings is Mrs. M. B.
Woodward, who gained great fame by the
wonderful success of her religious work;
Tbe woman came from San Francisco a few
months ago and her congregation has growa
from a few hundred to 10,000 every night.
Now comes two prominent physicians
who'bave petitioned tbe Mayor to stop the
proceedings on the ground tbat the strange
power wielded by Mrs. Woodward is hyp
notism. Every evening from 60 to 100 con
verts fall unconscious and go into
ranees. The physicians are Dr. Wel-

a that tnose wbo went into tba
tate at her meetings were also
a .a in the same way. The phy
sfi.aus state that they believe
Mrs. Woodward to be insane, and.
tbat although she is perfectly sincere in her
pretensions, tbe nervous strain brought ou
the enthusiasts influenced by hynoptism is
exceedingly harmful and will result seriously
to not only the persons influenced, but will
remain hereditary.
Mrs. Woodward was very tired when seen,
but finally consented to tell her story to tha
visitors.
"When you have a vision like the folks
do at the meetings you must give every
thing right up to God," she said. "You must
look rignt np and stretch np your arms and
you will see the vision. If you are stub
born, and won't look up, then you will not
be transported. You don't completely losa
consciousness, but know everything that
goes on all around yon. If a person in this
state is touched the vision is broken for the
instant, but it comes back again."
Dr. Adams asked if the persons could
move while in this state.
HELD BT SIX PERSONS.
"Hose my own will power but Ian
stronger," said Mrs. Woodward. "Some
times it takes six persons to hold me. The
Lord has me, mind and body; and I have no
control over my actions. I hare preached
while under the power, and my face shoua
as bright as a star, and the people have told
that they have seen bright lights around my
head like the Savior."
Dr. Adams says: "Some of Sirs. Wood
ward's subjects were incompletely hyno
tized, and I am told never entirely'lost con
sciousness. Others were affected while
the eyes were closed. Others wera
very slightly aSected. Still, others whom X
noticed obeying the rules by which persons
may be hypnotized, failed entirelj
in their object The number of sub
jects is on tbe increase. The first
evening I visited the tent there were proba
Dly 40, the second evening nearly 100. Per
sons are put in tbe hypnotic condition by
what is, known as 'suggestion.' Thi?
suggestion may come through any of the
senses, the eyes, ear, etc., or through the
mind, or by a combination of two or more
.of these. Suggestion through one of these
channels may fail and then succeed through
another. The most powerful suggestion is
where all the channels are used. This it
what Miss Woodward does."
