The address of e Republicans of Philadelphia, which was ecially marked by antagonism to Senator lay, attracted little attention in official I'lcs here to-day, possibly because most of e Republicans here believe in the machine at wins victory and for the party and the iff, no matter if that machine occasion y is apparently worked for personal fld ltage. Colonel Thomas 3L Bayne, who will dc rt for a prolonged stay abroad on the 12th. I illy, was one of the Republicans who iked freely on the subject, and he said to correspondent of The Dispatch: tVhy, anyone can see with half an ej e that lis is the same old kick once again. In ft, some of the kickers have become so ronic and wild as to be classed witli the mocrats, and have recently been almost ked out by the kickers, who still try to ivince themselves that they are Repub- ns. Those that are not of the same old w d of chronics are persons who are nn- own as either Republicans or Democrats, d may be classed as willing to appear cvwhere to get their names in the news- pcrs.

"As to his charge that tho chief folly or tho address is its opposition to Senator Quay, who will not bo a candidate for re-election until 1833, the answer to that is that if these gentlemen desire Mr Quay's defeat it would be the height of folly to wait until he had nominated and elected a majority of the members of the Legislature pledged to his election before they began their campaign against him. Senator Quay has begun his campaign for re-election already and he will spend his days and nights from this tlmo forth to this end.

Tho Old Prohibition .Flank "Will Bo Re tained and the Democratic Officials Will Be Arraigned for Their Connivance With the Lawless Classes. SPECIAL TELEOUAII TO THE DISPATCH. Cedar Rat-ids, Ia June 30. There is going to be a very warm tlmo here to-morrow. The Republican State convention, which convenes here, will doubtless bo ono of the most exciting in tho history of tho State. Tho city is full of delegates and the atmos phere is surcharged with gossip from the poww owe. Whilo great interest is taken In the elec tion of a State tlckot, the making ot the platform is the all-sorbing question. There will doubtless bo a pretty struggle between the Liberal and Conservative Republicans on the prohibition question and some dele gations havo. declared their intention of withdrawing from the convention in case a prohibition plank is adopted. On the other hand some delegates proposo withdrawing if such a plank is omitted. The general opinion is that tho old plank will be re tained. Most of tho nominations arc assured in ad vance. Governor Hiram C. Wheeler, of Ode bolt, Sao county, will be nominated on the first ballot. This has not been apparent until this evening, but eicry well-informed politician to-night concedes this result. The other candidates for this nomination are Ren F. Clayton, a farmer and stock raiser of Pottowatami county, and ex-Congressman Dan Korr, of Grundy county. At a meeting to-day of tho State Central Committee prominent party leaders, includ ing Senator Allison and the Republican con gressmen, the subject matter ot to-morrow's platform was discussed in an informal way at considerable length. Means for a less expensive enforcement of the prohibitory statute will bo recommended and the Demo cratic party and Democratic bounty and city officials generally will be arraigned for "Connivance with the lawless classes in tne, violation and nullification of the prohibi tory law." The hnanoial question Is tho subject of much discussion, but the leaders of tho party counsel the mere indorsement of tho recent act of Congress with tho further dec laration that free coinage should bo ex tended to the limit of American output, as oon as the financial necessities of the coun try may justify. This will be the substance of the party's position upon this question. The Harrison administration and Mr. Mc Klnley's law aro to be npprovod, but reci procity is the subject which is to receive the warmest indorsement from the Iowa Repub licans. HARBISON IS IS FAVOR.

New York, Juno 30. To-day was the last day for tho importation of tin plate unUer tho old tariff. Tho new tariff went into effect nt 3 o'clock to-day. The now duty is 2.2 cents a pound. The old duty was 1 cent a pound. Tho Importers of tin plate have been strain ing c cry nervo in the last month or so to get in heavy importations under the old tariff. In the last month over 50,000 tons lm o been rushed in. The voluo of this tin plate is put at $3,000,000. Tho Custom House figures for the last week show that tho im portations and withdrawals of tin plate have aggregated $1,000,000. Special Deputy Collec tor Couch has had many visitors to-day Who thought that tin plate already on tho way ought to como in at the old rate. Mr. Couch and tho Collector hold differently. Chief Clerk of Customs Couch said this morning that ho had no figures at hand to Judge oven approximately of tho amount of tin plate in bond or which has arrived in this country within the past few days, but the number of cases filled with tin which have entered to-day and yesterday is enormous. From the mountains of cases on the European steamship docks, it would seem that tho vessels had discardedall other freight on the other side and sailed for this port with full cargoes of tin. Many vessels crossed the water a day ahead pf their schedule time. Tho Importers matio it an object for the steamship companies to make tin plato a preferred cargo. A MILLIONAIRE'S DIVORCE. The Story of How It Was Obtained In San Francisco Leaks Out. SrFCIAL TELFGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. San FraiiCisco, June 30. Tamos C. Jordan, the Boston millionaire, came hero in April, 1890, and bought a tract of 50acreslntho thq suburbs for 1500,000. It was said, at the time, that he intended to muko Frisco his homo, but after about one year's residenco ho left for the East. It has just leaked out, however, that the chief object of his visit was to secure a divorce from his wife. Several days ago Jordan was granted a di vorce from his wifo, Helen, on the ground of desertion. Little evidence was taken, and it is doubtful whether tho decree will stand should tho defendant contest it. The record shows that the litigants agreed to a separa tion three years ago, tho wifo being allowed the furniture of their Beacon street house to furnish her house on Marlboro street. She was given full control of two daughters and waived all claims on her husband in consid eration of a trust deed for $100,000. After this compact was made, Jordan came here, and soon after IiIb arrival wrote letters to his wife annuling the previous compact and commanding her to come to 'Frisco and as sume marital relations with him. She re fused. Hence the suit and divorce. WANAMAKER AS A WITNESS. Whether Ho Will Be Called or Not De pends Upon a Test Case. Philadelphia, June SO.

LEADING SCIENTISTS ARE'" PUZZLED -J i SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSPATCH. San Frascisco, June 30. Another element has been added to the suffering at Salton, tho lowest point "of tho flooded dis trict of tho Colorado desert. ,The heat on the desert Is terrific, as the mercury marked H5 at 5 o'clock this after noon, and only Indians can endure exortlon under tho rays of this fierce sun. An Indian" runner has been sent out with instructions,, to find where the water leaves tho Colorado river, is such be the case, and to make a thorough examination as to how it possos through tho sand hills and reaches thOj desert. It is bolieved that the water leaves tho river Just nbbvo Pilot Knob, near Yuma, nearly CO miles from Salton, nnd works its way through tho dry sand onto the low ground en. this side of tho river. It will probably take two or three days for tho In dian to make his report. A H-foot boat with two sailors was sent from San Pedro to Salton this evening. From that point the boat, provisioned for a week's cruise, will sail south and attempt to reach tho source of the flow, while the Indian runner follows the bank of tho river from Yuma. Water Rising From the Ground. Old residents about Yuma think that the overflow from the Colorado river into New river explains the canso of the subterranean riso about Salton. The flood of last February washed away a small hill belonging to tho range between the Colorado and Xow rivers about 15 miles southwest of Yuma. New river is a river only in name, being merely a dry channel, with a grade toward tho sink in the desert, in which Salton is situated. Colorado and Now rivers are only a few miles apart at tho point west of Yuma re ferred to. The Indians have an Irrigation ditch from tho Colorado whioh discharges waste water into Algodones slough, eventu ally working its way into tho New river. Owing to the washing away of tho sand hill, a largo stream of water is now running from the Colorado through Algodones slough lntq Xew river. The Colorado, which is high now, owing to tho melting snow at the headwaters, is 140 foot above sea lovel at Yuma. Salton is 203 feet below sea level, and Is 97 miles north and the lowest point below the sea level on the railroad. Snouldhe Colorado continuo to cut its banks west of Yurca, it Is not un likely that a considerable flow of water may reach tho neighborhood of Salton. Weeks Coming; Through the Desert. In the great flood of 18C3 two ferries had to be maintained across Xew river. Tho water evidently has taken weeks to' percolate through this desert, for It first appeared at the salt works, near Salton, just one week ago. Finding it was 25 per cent salt. Mana ger Durbrow concluded it had come a long distance. Tho lake that has formed around Salton is now 8 miles wide by 30 miles long. Later news from the desert to-night says that the Colorado river is pouring over its banks for ten miles near Yuma, and the water is rushing' into Laguna country at Indian Wells, which is 150 feet lower than Yuma. It is thought that by an under ground passage this water Is reaching Sal ton. The water in tho great lakes just formed at Salton is said to be from 3 to 8 feet deep. John J. Gilmore, a young Engllshmantwho is a well-known new spaper writer, has J Ust returned from Salton. His story of tho bo cinnlneof tlfe flood is verv interostimr. Ho said to-ihty: "Itls well-known-that Ailunstst: tue'Iowest point In the Colorado desort. The formation of tho country round about is saucer-like. There aro hills to the north nnd south and a great salt marshis at the bottom of the saucer. The salt marsh is owned by San Franolsco men, and Georgo Durbrow, manager, lives there in a little cottage opposite the Southern Pacific Rail road station. On Sunday afternoon I was out at the end of the track built for the pur poso of hauling in tho salt which is scraped from the surface. It is wrong to say the Slace is arid. It is always moist, and one as to be careful when walking on themarsh if he does not wish to got into mud and water knee deep. The Appearance of tho Flood. "At 3 p. m. I left the marsh, nnd there was no Indication of water. The next day as I was ona velocipcdo running down the track I saw a man coming home on a handcar, and asked, '"What is the matter, Joel" The In dian said, "There are three inches of water on the marsh, and it is 'fast rismg." I did not believe it, but went out and found that the entire country had been turned into a lake, with the water coming In from tho southeast in a 'largo body, and every appearance that 'it was on the increase. Mr. Durbrow went out on the marsh, and finding that it was 25 per cent salt felt sure that the water had traveled an enor mous distance. By evening, when I went out again, the w ater was coming rapidly and had increased to six or seven inches in depth. When I left on Tuesday afternoon the water was 13 inches in depth and within a few yards of the mill. The railroad now tra verses the lqwcstpartof the sink, and should the water continue to lise and finally reach tho sea level, it would be necessary for tho railroad to take to the hills to the northward. Theie .are ranges of mountains there along whose lower slopes the road could readily bo built abovo high water mark." The greatest interest Is shown among San Francisco scientific men in this flooding of the desert. At first they regarded the story as a canard, but now they agrco that It is tho most peculiar phenomenon that has oc curredon the coast since its'occupation by Americans. It has revived memories of the long and weary effort made by Dr. Wozen cmft to secure funds for the artificial Irriga tion of tho desort from the Colorado riVer. Wozencraft got his ideas from General Fre mont, who nlways held there was a grand fortune for tho man who would bring water into tho desert and raise tropical fruits. COMING BACK FOR REPAIRS. The Old Warship Pensacola Ordered Home From South America. Washington, Juno 30. Orders have been sent to the Pensacola.no w at Callao,to return to the United States and repair at the Mare Island, California, Navy Yard. Admiral Mc Cann, who is the Commander in Chief of the South Atlantic station, will also come to tho United States by steamer. Tho causofor the order is said to be the necessity for re pairing the Pensacola, one of the old wooden ships, and the need for the services of one of the two Admirals nowin tho South Pacific elsewhere.

After Shoonberger's death it turned out that $150,000 of tho estate had been dissi pated, and McCormick sued tho Shoenberger estate to recover that amount, basing his claim upon the agreements. The estate demurred, and Judge Lawrence has sustained the demurrer, holding that the first agreement was void, because it was against public policy, and the second be cause It was without consideration.

THE FOREIGN IDEA OF AMERICANISM "(COPi-RIQIIT, 1S91, BY TnE EW TORST ASSOCI ATZD PRFSg.) Berlin, Juno 30. All copies of the full text of the second memorial presented by nerr Cahonsly to the Papal Secretary of State, Cardinal Rampolla, has been put in. circulation. "The greatest Importance is at tached to tho memorial. If, as it Is hoped, tho Holy See can be Induced to follow out its recommendations and appoint a large number of German clergymen ns Bishops to the United States, the German influence across tho Atlantic will be vastly increased. Herr Cahensly, indeed, appeals for aid to other foreign Governments Italy, Austria, Spain and Canada promising them in re turn a duo share of tho prestigo which will come from a division of the Episcopal Sees of America among tho representatives of the different classes of Immigrants. It is felt hire, nevertheless, that tho lion's share will fall to the lot of the Empire. The war on the "Irish Bishops" in America will be pros ecuted with vigor. It iylll be no fault of Herr Cahensly if be fails. Hero is a part of tho text of the memorial: The Catholio Flcment In America. Most Emiment Lord Wo come to humbly submit to Your Eminence some considera tions upon the subject of emigration to the United Statos of North America. Tho cur rent whioh is carrying away to America populations of different nationalities is al ready formidable; in tho future it is likely to become irresistible. Calculations based upon tho most authoritative statistics go to show that Catholio immigrants and their children ought to constitute in the United States a Catholic population of 26,000,000; but tho fact is that the number of Catholics in that vast country scarcely exceeds 10,000,000. Tho following are the chief causes of this de sertion on the port of the Catholic forces: 1 Tho lack of sufficient protection for the emigrants at the time of their departure from home, during their vovage and on their ar rival In America; 2, the insufficiency of Sriests and parishes of their own, for tho liferent nationalities: of immigrants; 3. the pecuniary sacrifices, often exorbitant, that arc exacted of the faithful; 4, the publio schools; 5, the Insufficiency of societies. Catholic and national associations of mutual aid, protection, etc., for the laboring classes; 8, the want of different representatives of the different nationalities of immigrants in the Episcopate. Immigrants Need Religious Protection. First When abont to set out from the Fatherland, emigrants stand in need of im formation, direction, advice and assistance, so as to know what to do, whom to apply to in preparation for their distant journey, what route to follow, etc. Before embark ing and while on the deep, special care, both temporal and spiritual are needed. On thair arrival in America the poor immigrants stand In need of aid and direction, of infor mation as to where they will find their fel low countrymen, work and comforts or re ligion. Tho high protection of the Holy See Is indispcnslble to the St. Rachael Societies. Second Among all tho nations which are ignorant of the English language there is an impossibility of practicing their religion if on arrival in America they do not find priests who can speak their language and give them religious instruction. Besides, emigrants go to America in order to earn their daily bread, and not for tho sake of ilearning new languages. The United States has become well aware of this fact. They nlsaleavctoiryery ilatiOTUiUty.the.prJ'ITegii of retaining: the -use of,- its. own language. No Ibtibt that In the course of years tne im Tnlsrwints come to sneak Enalish: but to wnl till they have learned that language before' Having mem practice tneir religion is to run the risk of finding them no longer disposed to live aftor a Christian fashion. , The Religions Importance or Language. It is deslmblo that every different national group of immigrants should be organized into a distinct parish with a priest of its own nationality. Experience teaches that the immigrants and their descendants who forget their language likewise forget their religion. Language and religion are in separable. To Americanize oneself means to become a citizen of the United States, or an Amer ican citizen. In order to become on Amer ican citizen it is necessary to accept the Constitution of the United States, to do what it wills and to respect what it respects. Xow, that Constitution recognizes the right of every nationality of immigrants to retain its religion. Its language, its character and the like. To Americanize oneself, then, Is, first and above all, to accept and respect this right which the Constitution grants to all tho different natlonalties that live tiuder its protection. It belongs peculiarly to every nationality to take the Initiative in tho matter of Americanizing itself." After speaking of the great influence of tho bishops, the memorial says : "Upon thii question depends the solution of tho great est problem of tho present times the problem of tho migration of nations. First, the salvation of souls is herein concerned. The Way to Harmony in the Church. ' "Bishops who are strangers to tho spiritual character, habits and customs of other na tions cannot, in the required measure, des pite their virtues, knowledge nnd zeal, ap preciate and effectually attend to the wants of those nations. Agein, the harmony and concord between tho different nationalities are affected by this question. If the episco pate be handed over almost exclusively to one single nationality, to the detriment of tho others, a feeling of uneasiness, of general discontent is created among these last, a feeling which assumes tho proportions of jealous national rivalries. It is desired that concord and harmony should reign among the different nations that go to make np the church of the United States. Tho sole and only w ay to attain this end is to give to every' one of these nations Bishops of their own; Bishops belonging to each, who will repre sent their respective nations in the episco pal body, just as those nations are rep resented among the parochial clorgyand among the faithful. As the dioceses are formed of Catholics of different national ities there is no question of d mandlng the division of these dioceses ace -ding to na tionalities. What is oxpectea of the Holy &eo is mat iusuops oi tuu uiuercnt nations will be placed in the episcopal body, so that different nations will be represented by some of their own in the episconate, in the ecclesiastical provinces ana in tno councils; An Appeal to tho Constitution. "Xext tho spirit of tho Constitution of the United States, which grants equal and im partial protection to all tho nations living ufidcr It, is horeln concerned; for" to constU tutethe episcopal body by taking into ac count the different national elements which form tho church, as well as tho-tnation, of thn irrwnt Tlnmihlle. would be to act-in direct accordance with the American Constition. i Resides, has not tho Church everything to gain Dyiavoring mo hjjiwi. v. wo uvjisuiu tlpn of a country, when that spirit is good nndjust? "Moreover, the question affects the Inter ests of the countries from which emigration tukes place. Through their emigrants the nations aro acquiring In the great Republic un influence and an importance to which they will ono day bo able to make great profit. These nations aro so well aware of this that they are doing everything in their power to have thoso other nationalities Set tled in tho United Slates develop and strengthen themselves In every respect. The time has come when governments can no- longer remain indifferent to this grave and Important question." Tho memorial then argues that tho ap polntmcnt of bishops for the different nations would bring them closer to tho Holy See, and thereby help tho growth of the church.

INSURED FOR $5,000,000. , AN ENORMOUS PRICE PLACED ON AN AMERICAN'S LIFE.

At tho convention of tho Southern diocese ot the Protestant Epis copal Church, held recently in this city, the most exciting topio of discussion was the al leged mismanagement of certain endow ment funds of Kenyon college at Gambler, Knox connty, O. After discussion, the mat ter was referred to a special cpmmittee with instructions to report to the next .Diocesan Convention. It was stated, however, during the discussion that there was no dishonesty in the transactions, but they were unbusi nesslike, and to that extent irregular. A correspondent from Mount Vernon, Enox county, writes that on last Saturday a discovery was made of a virtual deficit of $21,000 in the college finances. The discovery was the result of an investigation by- the trustees made last week, which thev desire 'kept secret. These funds, the correspondent says, were a part oi tne trust iunus oi tno college for which each trustee is personally liable. Theso several special funds were regularly loaned and on interest, and the investigation revealed that when tho prin cipal or interest was paid in the amounts wore dumped into a general fund and checked out for genoral purposes instend of being restored to their proper places and used accordingly. Tho correspondent says that there Is already talk of entering suit against the trustees to recover the depleted trusts, and that unless tho deficit Is speedily mado good ono of the professorships will have to bo abandoned. It seems, however, that as the trustees collectively are finan cially able to make good tho shortage, the funds will speedily be reimbursed. The In vestigation of the trustees did not reveal any dishonesty only mismanagement. THE JAPS MUST RETURN. A Benevolent Act Gets a Chicago Philan thropist Into Trouble. Washington, June 30.

The Inspector inquired whether it is a violation of the alien contract labor law. Assistant Secretary Xettlcton to-day in formed him "that the department holds that although this is, so far as known, an entirely now enterprise in this country, yet it can hardly bo called a new Industry in tho sense of the law, nor would It seemingly be neces sary to import skilled labor to propel tho j In rikshas, and therefore Mr. Woolf must bo held to have violated tho law by importing theso Japanese laborers nnder contract made prior to their importation. As, how ever, Mr. Woolf declares that he had no in tention of violating tho law, and as the im ?iorted laborers havo not como into competi ion with home laborers, it is advised that no suit be cofhmencedagainst him, provided ho will immediately have those men re turned to their own country."
