McKinley Throws Hot Shot Into tho Democratic Fort and ALGER MADE A GOOD ADDRESS. The Crowd So Large That an Overflow Meeting Was Necessary. THIRTY COLLEGES WERE REPRESENTED Ass Akboe, Mich., May 17. The first guns of fhe campaign of 1892 were fired here to-day by Governor McKinley, Hon. John M. Thurston, General Alger, Hon. J. Sloat Fassett and other prominent Repub lican leaders. The occasion which brought all these men together in Ann Arbor was the organization of the National League of College Republican Clubs, for which dele gates were present from 30 colleges from Maine to California. Those colleges which were represented in the convention this afternoon by from two to five delegates are as follows: Amherst College, Bates College, Maine; Boston Uni versity, Bowdoin College, Brown Univer sity, Collegiate University, Hamilton, New York; Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa.; In diana State University, LaFayette College, Leland Stanford University, Oberlin Col lege, Northwestern University, Ohio State University, Ohio AVesleyan University, Pennsvlvania State College, Princeton Col lege, Purdce University, Iowa State Uni versity, Syracuse, (N. Y.) University, Trinity College, Conn.; University ot Ne braska, Univcrsitv of Vermont, University of Wisconsin, Harvard College and 10 Michigan colleges. The Convention Goes to Work. The convention was called to order about noon by President Burke, of the University of Michigan Clnb. Delegates from 30 dif ferent colleges in this country were present. A. E. Ewing, on behall of the Republicans of the University of Michigan, welcomed the delegates. Following the address of welcome, It P. Draper, of Albion, was chosen temporary chairman, and J. "W. Noel, of Purdee University, temporary secretary. The Chairman appointed the usual committees and a recess till 2 o'clock was taken. The mention of Blaine's name in the address of welcome was the signal for an ovation. At 2 this afternoon the convention met and perfected an organization by adopting a constitution and electing the following officers: President, James F. Burke, of the Uni versity ot Michigan; First Vice President, J. C Iregloam, of Leland Stanford; Secre tary, James M. Perkins, Harvard College; Treasurer, McAlpin, Princeton. One of the principal objects of the organ ization of these college Republican clubs, as stated in the platform, is to counteract the general impression that college men are free traders,and to foster the development of a healthy study of political economy from a practical rather than a theoretical standpoint; to encourage young men to take a more prominent part in polit ical work bv encouraging pure methods, and place politics on a higher plane. An Overflow Meeting Was .Necessary. An overflow meeting was held at Uni versity Hall to accommodate the immense crowd of people who conld not obtain an opportunity to hear Governor McKinley speak at the banquet. The Governor's speech, which was on the same line as that made at the banquet later, was frequently interrupted with hearty applause. The banquet hall, where the main exercises of the evening were held, was profssely dee orated, and presented a splendid scene when the long tables were occupied by the 1,000 guests for which plates had been laid. The galleries of the banquet hall were crowded, and the presence ot many ladies added greatly to the beauty of the scene, and inspired the speakers to their best effort . The first speaker of the evening was Gen eral RusBell Alger.who responded to the sentiment, "Tho Republican Party on Guard." General Alger congratulate! the young men on their work. He said: To Replace tho Old Veterans. "You have come to take the place of us, who are now in the sere and yellow. You may not realize it, but it is a fearful thing to be a young man. hen you take your parch ment and leave college you go forth to enter life's battle. Before you are many tempta tions, which you can never know until you meet them. Young men, it will be your uuiv vu goara tne nentage ot your fathers, and I hope as you go forth from college it will be with strong hearts, ready and willing to fight the fight of honesty, in political, as well as in business methods. The laws which guard the interests of this" country to-day are the nork of Republicaus,assailed by Democrats on every possible occasion. It is the dutv of everv Republican to defend these laws"; ne are bound to guard this nation against all nations in the world. The Republican party has a mission and it will never be en tirely fulfilled until such laws are enforced as wUl guarantee to every man, no matter what h his color or his race, perfect equalitr and liberty to make use of the rights given him by the Constitution." Cheer for Ohio's Gallant Governor. When Governor McKinley rose to speak he was greeted with applause which lasted for fully five minutes. The Governor opened his speech with a recommendation of the work of the young men who had un dertaken the organization. He then proceeded to give a history of the work of the Republican party and the predecessors who had outlined the pol- wuicn ii now ioiiowea. xne llemn- ask that society protect him in every One of his undertakings and is not willing to five anything in return is a drone in the ive and not fit to be free. Every one of the rights and liberties which you now en joy have been bought at the price of pain, of the blood and the lives of others. Over and against every privilege or right which we may enjoy stands the duty of protecting our neighbor in those same rights." Hon. John M. Langston, the colored ora tor of Virginia, responded to the toast, "Republicanism in the South." He said he had long ago given up all hopes of using this priceless heritage of American citizen ship until assistance came to him from with out, and that being the case the question is, "Shall the American ballot live or shall it die in New Orleans, and if it does in New Orleans, shall it not die in New York?" THEFT OR BLACKMAIL. A Prominent Chleaso Lawjep on Trial for Making TVay With Fully 810,000 A Railroad Deal Alleged to Have Seen Blocked by His Embezzlement. Chicago, May 17. A sensational case, in which one of the best-known young law yers in this city and New Yorkis charged with the embezzlement ot $10,000 in connection with a big railroad deal, was opened in court to-day. Isaac E. Adams, of the legal firm of Adams & Hamilton, was arraigned to answer to a charge brought against him by James H. Wheeler, a real estate dealer of the firm of Wheeler & Petty. James H. Wheeler was placed on the stand and asserted that on the date named he oaid Adams a check for 10.000 as part purohase for thePontiac, Oxford and North ern Railroad. On October 13 a contract for the purchase of the road had been made by Henry J. Godrich and signed by Isaac E. Adams as attorney for the road. Bv the terms of this contract $10,000 was to be paid down and 740,000 be fore March 10, 1692, at which time nil stocks property of the road was to be transferred to the purchasers in Pontiac, Mich. In return for the $10,000 Adams gave a receipt, setting forth the conditions, namely, that before the contract was closed the propositions were to be snbmitted to the stockholders of the company in New York, and if not accepted within the time stated money was to be refunded. Said Wheeler: About the 15th of January Mr. Gregory, one ot the purchasers, went to .New York to negotiate tne new bonds. He enoonntered some difficulty touching Mr. Adams' au thority to make such a contract. I told Mr. Adams of this, and went on to .New York. He was . to follow me but did not. while there I saw Jlr. Debevols, the President or the road, and he was astounded when I told him of the contraot and the payment of $10,000. I tqld Adams of this, and ne said he had evidence to prove his authority. We went on to Now York, and at the meeting at which Mr. Porter, mvself and others were present Mr. Porter said Adams was not and never had been the attorney of the road with sower to sign such a contract. The hearing was continued until Thurs day. Mr. Wheeler's main contention will be that some time early in May he de manded the payment of the $10,000 and that Adams refused to return the money. On his part, Mr. Adams declares that the whole thing is a blackmailing scheme, and that the $10,000 was forfeited by reason of the failure of the Chicago men to pay oyer the $740,000 by the 10th of March.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has received a gift of 24,000' as an endowment fund, the interest of which, about $12,000, is to be awarded annually to the most proficient male student in a special class in painting in the art school to enable him to pursue his studies abroad. The gift comes from Mrs. Amelia B. Lazarus and Miss Emilie Lazarus, the widow and daughter of the late Jacob Lazarus, a widely known artist, and is in the nature of a memorial. The prize is to be known as "The Jacob A. Lazarus Traveling Scholar ship." This is by far the most liberal prize yet offered young American artists. The famous '(prize of Rome," of the School of Fine Arts in Paris, is only ?800. The special class to which competi tion for the scholarship is open will be organized this summer by the trustees. A year's course of instruction will be pursued, and the most proficient and promising stu dents will compete each spring for the prize, under conditions to be arranged by the trustees, the school committee and the instructor in charge. The winner of the prize will go abroad and study for a year or more, according to circumstances, sending home his work from time to time to indicate his progress. The class will be begun next fall.

It is brave no, no brave; only blustering after a victory bu loses all of its courage in the presence of a great national contest. It has the statesmanship ot destruc tion, but lacks everv element essential to constructive legislation. Its vast majority in the House, after five months of trial, is convicted before the American people as weak and vaccilatlng, as cowardly and cringing, as wanting both the capacitv and the courage to carry into practical legislation what they have professed for the people and upon which they allege they won the victory in 1890. They are the party of yesterday and day before, not of to-day or to-morrow. The speaker declared that pro tection to American industry and American labor against all the world without is as essential and fundamental in the code of Republican principles as it ever was in that of the old Whig party. Opposition to all these constitute the armor and arsenal of the Democratic party. A Charce to the Young Men. J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, responded to the toast "The duty of citizenship," and after keeping his audience in laughter for ?u".i.te? min.ntes. he finally concluded With the following charge to the yonng men in regard to the duties of citizenship: "It is the duty of every American citizen to become a practical working politician. You have no right to participate in the pro tection offered bv that flag of our nation un less you are willing to pay the price. You nave enjoyed tne privileges of an American citizen in every direction. The man who will It Was Worth 820,000 to Miss Carslake, Who Asks That for Its Loss. Trekton, May 17. 5jda!. Papers were served to-day in a breach of promise suit against Dr. Mozart Jenkins, of this city. The plaintiff is Miss Emma Carslake, and she demands $20,000 damages. Miss Carslake has been an invalid for four years. Her sister, Miss Anna Carslake, told a re porter that Miss Emma and the doctor had been engaged a long time, but the doctor was desirous of casting her off in favor of a Bordentown lady who, in his estimation, is more fascinating "than his fiancee. The marriage, according to Miss Anna Carslake, has been deferred because of Dr. Jenkins' close application to business and his desire to build up a heavy practice. Dr. Jenkins is one of the leading phvsi cians of Trenton, and gained considerable celebrity two years ago through his attend ance upon Mrs. Delia Stewart Parnell, when a story was current that she was ill and poor and being neglected by her illus trious son, the great Irish leader, now de ceased. Dr. Jenkins said to-night that it was true the papers in the breach of promise case had been served npon him, but he indignantl y denied the engagement and other assertions of Miss Carslake. HO PLACE FOE BEFOEMEES. Rough Treatment of u Alaska Preacher by Whisky Smugglers. Fobt Towksend, "Wash., May 17. Dr. J. E. Connette, who has charge of Quaker mission on Douglass Island. Alaska, was .inveigled from home by unknown parties and subjected to a coat of tar and feathers on April 23. This culminated from trouble between the whisky smugglers of Alaska and the missionary element, which originated in the killing of Charles H. Edwards, a school teacher, on January 10 by drunken Indians at Kake Island. Two whisky smugglers from Juneau City appeared on the scene and disposed of a large quantity of liquor. Edwards remon strated, and some drunken and infuriated savages killed him and his interpreter. Connette took up the case and endeavored to Bring the smugglers to justice. He pub lished an account of the trnnhl in -Ro.f. papers, which displeased the liquor element on Douglas Island. For this he wis troatpH to a coat of tar and leathers and danger ously injured.

The Govern ment has determined to rescind the enforce ment of the bait act against Canadian fisher men this searon. This practically ends the tariff war. between Newfoundland and Canada. Omaha, May 17. Bishop Bowman was presiding officer to-day in the Methodist Episcopal General Conference. Dr. Moore, of the Central Christian Advocate, wished to take up the matter of allowing the Bishops to select their residences with reference to their seniority, but the conference would not depart from the regular order, which was the calling of committee reports. The Committee on Itinerary brought in a report recommending abolishing the five year limit on the appointment of pastors. The report favored the idea of permitting the Bishops to appoint pastors every year without reference to the place to which the ministers had been assigned the year pre vious. The Committee on the State of the Church brought in a report calling upon the Gov ernment, the State officials, the Methodist Episcopal Church and all good citizens "to arise in their might and abolish the indig nities and outrages that are put upon the colored people and all white people who love to work for the elevation ot the colored race in the Southern States." All Tote for the Negro's Rights. The resolution declared that the colored people were treated shamefully on the rail way trains and at hotels. They are shot down like dogs, and the law of the land is trampled under footby people who despise the colored race. The resolution was the signal for tremendous cheering. Dr. Queathy, Dr. Payne and others made vehement speeches, calling upon the Metho dist Church to stand firmly for the rights of the colored race. Dr. Mvlev advised the Conference to be' moderate in the language employed. "We are not nerfect ourselves, brethren, except in words," said Dr. Myley. The report was adopted by a rising vote, every delegate in the Conference rising to his feet. The order of the day was the election of officers, and the choice of agents .for the Book Concern at New York were first taken up. Dr. Myley nominated Dr. Sanford Hunt and Dr. Homer Eaton as agents for the New York Book Concern. These gentle men have been the agents ot that concern lor some years. Mr. Fields, of Philadelphia, wanted to ask some questions. The Chairman decided he was out of order. He persisted in the demand that he should be heard on a ques tion of privilege. A Bomb That Was Stamped Oat. He was called to, order by the Chair. If he had been given the floor he would have exploded a bomb. It was a business bomb, touching the management of the New York Book Concern. Mr. Field had figures in his possession showing that the great Book Concern at New York, with a capital of 52, 000,000, had only made a net profit of 540, 000 per annum during the past four years. Mr. Field wished to ask if that was con sidered good business ability? Would it not be better to save some money at 6 per cent in the West, and make secure an in come from it af 5120,000 per annum? An other strange fact in the business of the Book Concern, Mr. Field holds, is that while the house did a business of 5900,000 last year, the amount of money on the books and uncollected was over 5600,000. In other words, two-thirds of the business of the year is still outstanding. Dr. Hunt said he can explain all this matter to the satisfaction of all reasonable men if he had a hearing. A large amount of the capital of the New York Book Con cern, he says, is locked up in a building that is used by other departments of the church and brings in no rent He says that the whole capital of the concern lias been made from nothing by the concern, and the debt does not represent money sunk. Hnnt and Eaton Are Re-EIected. The first ballot for election for the New York Book Concern resulted in the election of Eaton and Hunt with practically no opposition. . The report of the ballot for book agents of the Cincinnati concern was then brought in by the tellers. The whole number of ballots cast was 479. It required 272 to make a choice. Dr. Earl Cranston received 405 votes.jand was the only man elected on the first ballot. Mr. Knox, a colored man, from Kentucky, got one vote. He with drew from the contest Dr. Hammond was the other colored man in the race. The second ballot was taken, and the tellers on missionary secretaries not being ready to report, the call of committee reports went on. The Committee on Church Architecture recommended that the churches best suited for worship were those built nil on. one floor. The committee recommended that careful study be given to the best style of buildings to secure grace and practicability. oi me structures. j.ney recommenaea that provisions be made for the kneeling of the audience in worship. More Room Needed for Kneeling. It provides for good light, good ventila tion and good heating. Dr. Mealv de clared, in presenting the report, that the people would kneel if the pews were far enough apart Churches in these latter vears'are beingbuilt too much like opera houses. Judge Lawrence was given leave to pre sent the following: Eesolvert, That the constitution of the ar. E. Church can onv be altered or changed by the mode authorized. Judge Lawrence said that there is but one -nay to amend or alter a constitution. Dr. Kynctt, the speaker said, had said there is two ways, but this is revolutionary. Dr. Kynett's plan to have the constitution amended by representative men from the people of the Church as a legislative act is not in accordance with the constitution. The resolution was referred to the Commit tee on Judiciary. The second ballot on the election of book agents for the Cincinnati Book Concern re sulted in no choice. The Colored Candidates Not in It. The result of the ballot for Missionary Secretaries w as then announced. It stood as follows: Total number of votes cast,479, of which Dr. Peck got 381; Dr. Leonard 248; McCabe, 412; Dr. Neelv, 75; Dr. Haral ilton, 202; Dr. A. T. Palme'r, 73; Dr. Bald win, 13, and the rest scattering. The colored men were not "in it." Hammond, the colored candidate, got bat 2 votes. Mc Cabe, Peck and Leonard, the Secretaries ior the past qnadrennium, were declared to be elected. The conference then took another ballot on the second agent on the Book Concern, and adjourned without retting n result from the tellers. After conference adjourned, the teller gave it out that Dr. Curts, of Chicago, had been elected. This is not official, as the ballot will not be announced until to-morrow morning. Dr. Stowe, who's defeated, if this is true, has been agent of the Book Concern for a great many years. A TELLEE IN HIS BECOKD SCEAPE. Too Fast Living Induced Him lo Embezzle 810,000 From His Bank. Chicago, May 17. Richard Kyle, teller of the defunct Western Trust and Savings Bank was indicted to-day for embezzlement, his alleged stealings Being 10,000. Kyle came from Cincinnati, where he is said to have bad similar trouble. Fastlm ing is the supposed cause. The offenses here were committed some time ago, but re mained undiscovered.- Kyle is somewhere in the West A JACK THE STABBER Terrorizes the Female Portion of Cam bridge, Mass. Three Women Knifed and Half a Tozen Assaulted An Un known Frenchman tho Assailant. Cambridge, Mass., May 17. Special. Three women stabbed since Friday last, and half a dozen assaulted, is the 'record against an unknown wretch who has, by his actions, completely terrorized the women in that section of Cambridgeport known as Reardon's Village. His latest victim was Mrs. Annie L. Young, who is lying dangerously wounded at her home, at 273 Putman ave nue. She was stabbed through the fleshy part of the leg, and so many arteries were severed that she nearly bled to death before medical assistance ar rived. She was attacked on her own door step. The man looked like a Frenchman, she says. He made indecent proposals and her refusal nearly cost her her liie, for the villain instantly drew a stiletto and stabbed at her body. The blade passed en tirely through her leg. Her screams brought the neighbors.but her assailant had disappeared as completely as if the ground had swallowed him. Mrs. Walsh, another young married woman, was also attacked bv the same man. who, foiled in his wickedness, tried to stab her as he afterward stabbed Mrs. Young. She was slightly cut in the neck. Mrs. Mc Kcugh, of Soraerville, was also attacked, but her brawny muscle saved her from a like fate. She was seized by the waist and dragged a short distance toward a marsh, but broke away and put the fellow to flight Half a dozen other women have com plained of similar assaults and the same man has committed all of them. Thus far he has escaped arrest The community is so stirred up over the outrages that it will go hard with the fellow if he is caught Many believe the stabber to be an escaped lunatic, who, learning of the deeds of "Jack the Ripper," takes it upon himself to imi tate the Whitechapel fiend.

Great clearance sale of this season's fine goods. Wit. H. Allen, 517 Wood street, near Fifth avenue. Atlanta, Ga., May 17. Every promi nent Democratic politician of Georgia is in the city to-night, and the breach between the two divisions of the party in the State is growing wider and wider. A few far seeing politicians are on the ground coun seling moderation and compromise, but their warnings are unheeded in the mad rush that is being made by the Cleveland and anti-Cleveland men to control the convention. The result of the lew pri maries held yesterday and to-day was such as to give encouragement to the Cleveland men, but the activity of their opponents has more than counterbalanced this result, and the Cleveland faction is to-night very fearful that thev may be outgeneraled by the astute politicians of the other side. Hon. Evan P. Howell, Senator Colquitt and Congressman Livingston, as the leaders of the anti-Cleveland forces, have been cir culating among the delegates all day, and appear to have made considerable progress in tnelr contest against instructions ior tne ex-Prtsldent Cleveland Men Compelled to Sedge. Indeed, if outward manifestations are to be relied upon, the Cleveland men have been to-day compelled to change their programme and recede from their demand for an in structed Cleveland delegation. During the afternoon the anti-Cleveland men issued a call for a meeting to-night of such delegates "as lavor an unpledged, uninstructed and untrammeled delegation to the .National Convention, who shall favor measures, not men, who will hold that the party is greater than any man and with whom Democratic success shall be the watchword." Immediately after this, the Cleveland people came out with a committee call. Their circular was headed: "Uninstructed and undisguised." and named the hour for a caucus of "All delegates who are opposed to the election of Hill delegates to the Chicago Convention." The circular con cluded as follows: "All are invited who favor an uninstructed delegation in fact as well a3 in name." This seemed to indicate a radi cal change of position, as the Cleveland men up to this time had been uncompromis ing in their fight for an instructed Cleve land delegation. Will Fight to a Finish. The anti-Cleveland men made the most of this apparent weakening of their oppo nents but Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, the leader of the Cleveland faction, to-night stated that the fight for a Cleveland dele gation would be maintained, no matter whether instructions were demanded or not "We purpose," said he, "to fight for a pro nounced Cleveland delegation, but will probably not ask for instructions. We will elect such emphatic Cleveland men that they will not need instructions." Many of the other prominent Cleveland men state, however, that if their strength seems sufficient, a resolution will be to-morrow introduced intstructing the delegation ior uieveiana, ana it is proDaoie that the fight for instructions will be contingent en tirely upon the outcome of the contest for delegates at large. In this State, where the press has always been such a power in politics, the fight has become largely a contest between news papers. The Atlanta Constitution and the Augusta Chronicle, both of which papers have always been friendly toDavidxB. Hill, are the organs of the anti-Cleveland faction, while the Atlanta Journal and the Savannah Neva present the Cleveland forces. An Editorial Gives Consolation. Considerable excitement has been created bv the following editorial which this even ing appeared in the Atlanta Journal, the recognized leading Cleveland paper: There ls'no foundation whatever for the assertion that the Cleveland men in the convention are disposed to act in a spirit of "rule or ruin." They are of course in favor of electing delegates who are favorable to Mr. Cleveland's nomination, but tliev do not desire that they should be bound ud by instructions. The anti-Cleveland and Hill people find great consolation in this editorial, which thev claim is an evidence that the Cleve land people have been forced to abandon tneir hgut lor an instructed Ulevelana dele gation. The rival meetings to-night were largely attended, and as about 160 delegates partici pated in the proceedings of each it could not be seen that either had an advantage from a numerical point of view. United States Senator Colquitt was the principal speaker at the anti-Cleveland meeting, and excited much applause by his arguments for an nninstructed delegation. He said: I hope that our convention will send an nninstrucceo. aeiegation to unicafro a dele gation that will help to select as a Fresi dental candidate a Domocrat who will be lieve so strongly in Democracy that he will believe in relegating the Kepublicans out of office when ho comes to making the selection. of his appointees. Ap plause. AVo believe there are more men than one in the Democratic party who combine capability, character and honesty. Applause. If that be true, let us select a man who can win. It Is ridicu lous for men to come to us and say that we are circumscribed and that there is but one man in the United States who is available as a candidate- when, as a matter of fact, the very man of whom they speak cannot possibly win. Renewed applause. A voice "Hurrah for U11L"J The Cleveland Crowd Entnnsed. At the Cleveland meeting, Hon. H. F. Richards, editor of the Atlanta Journal, was the principal speaker. He made a ringing speech, in which he contended that the nomination of Cleveland was the best way to insure Democratic success. He said that while his opponents claimed there were more available men, they could never be induced .to name them. One day they would fight Cleveland with one man, and the next day they would offer a new candi date against him; but whenever the Demo cratic masses had a chance to voice their preference they were found uniformly for one man Grover Cleveland. Cheers. He praised Cleveland's courage in standing up to the professions of the party on the reform of the tariff and civil service, and attributed the Democratic victories since 1888 to the fruits of the seed which Cleveland had sown. He firmly believed, if appeal were taken to a plebi scite, the Democratic masses of Georgia, in common with those of other States of the Union, would be a unit for Cleveland. Great applause. He expressed the con fident belief that the representatives of the people to assemble in convention to-morrow, while holding party success above that of any man, and disregarding personal considerations of any kind, would voice the choice of the people for Grover Cleveland. The Cleveland meeting selected ex-Senator Pope Barrow as the Cleveland candi date for Chairman of the convention, and decided unanimously to present Dupont Guerry, F. H. Richardson, Fleming Dubignon and J. M. Smith a3 the Cleve land candidates for delegates at large. The anti-Cleveland meeting selected Hon. J. M. Robertson, ex-Railroad Commissioner, as its candidate for Chairman of the conven tion, but decided to hold another meeting at 10 o'clock to-morrow to select the candi dates for delegates at large.
