J" X- "HE'S ALL RIGHT." That's What the (Men tion Thinks of Grover. CLEVELAND THEIR CHOICE I he Temporary Organization Is Effected. Rousing Speeches Declare Instruction Unnecessary Platter and Lane Temporary Officers. Vancouver, Wash., May 25 The democratic State convention met here today for the purpose, for the first time in the history of the State, oi choosing eight delegates to the National Demo cratic convention at Chicago. At 10 o'clock the delegates formed in line at the hotel and headed by a band marched to the convention hall, which was deco rated with banting. The picture of (rover Cleveland adorned the wall in several places. The convention was called to order by (!. II. Warner, of Colfax, vice chairman of the State Central committee, in the ubscnce of Chairman D. C. Uilman. After a brief and appropriate addroas by Warner the temporary organization was effected by the election of L. 11. Platter, of Spokane, as chairman and Franklin K. Lane, of Tacoma, as secretary. The temporary chairman made a brief speech. References to Palmer and Boies wore enthusiastically received, but when he mentioned the name of Cleveland the convention rose to its foot and cheered. Cries of "What's the matter with Cleveland?" wore answered from all directions by the reply "lie's all right." The speaker thought the delegation should not be instructed. Mr. Lane, in response to cries of "Speech," made a rousing and eloquent talk of ten minutes, in which he said the manifest choice of the Democracy of this State is Grover Cleveland (Cheers lasting five minutes). "We need not pledge our delegates; they will go knowing that Washington is for Cleveland, and they will stand by him until there is no longer any chance of his nom ination, hut that time they will not see, (or the very stars in their courses are making his fight. But who ever may be our leader, wo will march under his banner to victory." Mr. Lane prophesied victory in the State campaign because of the late Legislature, which ho characterized as the Legislature of a Thousand Scandals. After the appointment of the usual committees the convention adjourned until the afternoon. "This is evidently a Clo eland con vention," remarked Chairman Platter, after he had waited live minutes for cheers to cease nt the mention of Cleve land's name. Uoorga llazr.ard looked unhappy. The entire convention rose on its leot and cheered and yelled for Cleveland, while Hill's name was not even mentioned. The convention will take the Nkwh' advice and tiie delegation will not bo instructed, as it is thought unnecessary und possibly might leal to Borne embarrassment nt Chicago. Pierce county has been so far recognized by the convention in the election of Lane as socretary and the appointment of Carroll on the platform eomm ttee, ' Wheeleron credentials and Weatherrod on the order of business committees. At the afternoon session Delegate Berry (a colored man), of King county, made a speech in which he said, the negroes of Washington had inaugurated a war against the solid North. If our debt ol gratitude is not now paid it never will he. He made a lively speech and was cheered often. Plil'LAKATION OP I'HINI'I I'l.liN. The Democratic party of tho Slate of Washington in convention assembled, without at this time adopting a full net of resolutions, declare us lollows: First We renew our pledges of dovo tiou to the principles of constitu tionai government as originated and advocated by their author, Thomas Jollorson, and us enunciated by tho national convention of the Democratic party in INK! and in 188S, and point with pride to the administration of ( i rover Cleveland as exemplifying the embodi ment of those principles of practical government aH'uirs. Second Having the highest confi dence in tho integrity, ability, firmness and unswerving Dem ocracy of lirovur Cleveland, we be lieve his nomination to the presidency iB favored by the Democratic masses throughout the land that if he bo the choice of the national convention, we are firmly convinced his nomination will be followed by a triumphant elec tion. Third And having full confidence in the delegates wtio will represent the J'emucracy of Washington in the ap proaching national convention, and especially refraining trotu instructing them, we especially request them to act as a unit in matters intrusted to their care to the furtherance of the best in terests of their party in the Mate and in the country. Of the election of Griggs, llogan, of Spokane, Collins, of King, Malonoy, o Whatcom, and Bradford, of Walia Walla, and of Snively of Yakima, there is little doubt. Chairman Platter ran for lieutenant governor with Semple. lie makes an excellent presiding otticer. Stephen O'Brien is in tlu) gallery and looks as happy as a clam ut nign tide. L. K.

ELECTION AND FIGHT. Pri; chard - Fitztlmmonl Fight Nut to Occur. San Francisco, May 25 The election of officers at the California Athletic Club last night resulted in the following ticket: President, Hiram B. Cook; vice president, Richard Valentine; secretary, J .me? G. Chesley; treasurer, L. Liv- ins??ton. Directors J. J. Deane, Wil liam Jordan, Harry N. Morsok, R. P. Wieland, George Boss, A. llackmeir ana A. Lorshach. The club voted to have the new ollicers assume control of the management immediately. Dr. Leek, the defeated can lidate for vice-president, gave notice of his inten tion to contest the election for that otlice on the ground of fraud. President Cook is quoted as saying the expense ol maintaining the present club rooms is too high and that he intends, with the consent of members, to abandon the rooms and rent headquarters in the Flood building. Halls for exhibition purposes will De hired only when they are required for contests. All of the furniture and para phernalia owned by the club will, he thinks, be sold or stored. President Cook will get the consent of the mem bers to give a colossal boxinj exhibition and athletic tournament at Mechanics' pavillion some evening prior to the Godiiard-McAulill'e contest. All the crack boxers and athletes have ex pressed their willingness to appear at the tournament. If it is a success Cook anticipates the club will make enough money to tree it trom debt and place it on a sound financial basis. A meeting of the club has been called to discuss the situation.

Report of the Committee on llevli on of the Confession of Faith The Prlnolpla Change That Are Advo cated May Be Defeated. Portland, Or., May 23 The report of the committee appointed to revise the confession of faith was presented this morning by Dr. W. O. Roberts. It con tains two new chaptes, one relating to the work of the Holy Spirit and another to the missionary spirit. Besides these new chapters 20 sections in 18 other chap era have been changed. Several of the members of the com mittee have signed the report, but have made exceptions to certain parts of it. The section upon which there will be most discussion is in the third chapter and is as follows, the brackets indicating omitted parts : ' lue rest ol mankind God (was pleased) saw fit according to the un searchable counsel of His own will, whereby lie expendeth or withholdeth mercy as He pleaseth, (for the glory of His sovore.gn power over His creatures to pass by) not to elect unto everlasting life (und) (but) and (tooidain) them hath He ordained tj dishonor and wrath for praise for his glorious justice ; (yet so as thereby neither is any limitation put upon the offer of salvation to ail, upon condition of faith in Christ; nor is restraint laid upon the freedom of any one to hinder his acceptance of this oiler.) Yet hath He no pleasure in the death of the wicked, nor is it His decree; but the wickedness of their own hearts which restrainelh and hindereth hem from accepting the free oiler of His grace made in the gospel." The sectio i relating to elect infants is worthy of mention us by the old confes sion, the inference was left that some iniants went to hell as tho wording "Elect infants" implied there were non elect infants. The new section clears that mystery, reading as follows : 'infants, dying in infancy, and all other persons who are not guilty of actual transgression, are included in the election of grace and are regenerated and saved by Christ the spirit who worketh when and where and how lie pleaseth. So also are all other elect per sons who are not outwardly called by the ministry of the word." The only other essential change is in a section relating to the Roman Cath olic church. In the unrevised confes sion the pope of Koine is called anti christ, that man of sin and son of per dition. In the new contession the sec tion reads as follows: ''The Lord Jesus Christ is the only head of the church and claims of the pope of Rome, or any other human authority to be the vicar of Christ-and bead of the church, is without warrant in Scripture or in fuct, and .s an usurpation hibhunoring to the Lord Jesus Christ." In another chapter where reference is made to the Rouian Catholic church, the change is made from "Popish sacri fice of the mass" to "Roman Catholic doctrine of the sacrifice of the mass." The men who have opposed revision from the-outsot intend to make a fight on the constitutionality of this assembly taking definite action on the report, claiming that by a new rule or law made at Detroit last year this report must go to u special committee appoint ed for the purpose ol receiving it, who shall decide whether or not the changes proposed shall be recommended to the presbyteries for adoption. Thus, though the conser vatives were doleated two years ago and a revision ordered, it is possible that even now by a technicality they may defeat the entire work for the commit tee appointed at this meeting may de cide Unit the revision proposed is un necessary or unwise. lilt. nillCKiS .AIIIIIVKS.

Sufferer Need Pink Bi t kk, Ark., May 25 The Board of Trade have issued a call to the people ol the country for the flood sufferers in the Arkansas river valley. It says this distress is w idespread and beyond the power of the people there lo care for the destitute. Thev ask for contributions ol money, provisions, seed corn and cotton seed. These will be received by the bank at Tine blurt, SUM GIOLITTI. The Head of the New Ilalla Utrr. Giovanni Giolitti, Crispi's finance minister, has been appointed Premier of Italy by King Humbert. This selec tion is a blow to the Irredentists and friends of France, as Giolitti is under the influence of Crispi and is known to be an opponent to the popular demand for a reduction of the army. He is a man of strong personality and bitter prejudice against France; has been in political life for twenty-six years and is regarded as an experienced statesman. His appointment will no doubt strengthen the Triple Alliance, as his policy will probably be to reduce the ex penditures on railways, which are re sponsible for 3,503,030,000 liri of Italy's national debt, and on her colonial enter prise in Massowah. In this way more force may be put into the army and navy, which will probably be main tained as now, unless he is induced to reduce them slightly in order to pacify the Opposition and preserve union in the cabinet. This latter, however, will not be done unless Germany gives her consent. A Negro Murderer Very Anxious to be Quickly Lynched. Basthop, La.. May 24 A most pecu liar murder and lynching occurred here Sunday. One man committed the mur der and one man did the lynching, with tne assistance of the murderer. S. C. llambiss Brigham was manager for Colonel George C. Phillips, who owns a plantation on Island Siard. Mr. isrigtiain was 25 years of age. While he was in the fields he was shot from am bush by an old negro, who fired three shots from a Winchester rifle, killing Jur. Urigham instantly. The negro then walked to the planta tion residence, summoned Colonel Phil lips and told him that he had killed Urigham and wanted to be hanged for it. Colonel Phillips put a rope around the negro's neck, pulled the rope over a lmnoi a tree ana the negro was soon swinging in a death struggle. ao motive is assigned for the murder. and it is thought that the negro was in sane, although he had lived on the place for years without giving any signs of an unsound mind.

Seml-Mnulhly Serrice Anticipated Within a Year Arrangement Made to Get English Sti-ainers-To Deliver Kiciuslr ly lo the N. P. New York, May 25 The announce ment that the Northern Pacific had suc ceeded in establishing a line of steamers between Tacoina and China and Japan is confirmed here. Arrangements have been completed with an English syndi cate by which the new company, cabed the Northern Pacific Steamship Com- fpany, has been formed. President Sir William t'earce, oi ionuon, wuo organ ized the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company, . says there will be thr.e ships, w hich will sail under the ilritish Hag. Voyages will be made monthly in each direction, and within a year it is hoped to have a semi-monthly service. The first steamer of the new company left Hong K' ng May 21st. The line is opened in time to carry part of the tea crop, of which the Northern Pacific hitherto transported about 25 per cent. The Northern Pacific as a com pany will not have any pecuniary in terest in the steamers, trie steamship taking the ocean earnings, the North ern Pacific taking the overland earnings on the traffic interchanged, the steam ship line will deliver exclusively to the Northern Pacific, but will compete for exports on the Pacific coast at all points. TUB I'UKBUYt'KBIANi. Foreign tills. Ion a nl Some lirlggs Case Literature. Portland, May 25 The devotional exercises were led in the assembly this morning by Dr. Roberts of Pennsylvania. The regular order of the day was foreign missious and the walls were hung with maps illustrating the fields. The report was presented by l)r. Alison, of Philadelphia. The year's work was reviewed and appropriate resolu ions were introduced looking toward the furtherance of the board's efforts. The principal facts are as lollows: The Board of Foreign Mis sions last year asked for .$1,100,000, and made its appropriations on the basis of $1,000,000. The receipts amounted to over $930,000. The board maintains 210 ordained American missionaries and 165 ordained and 255 licensed natives workers, sus taining 384 churches with 30,479 com municants. The additions to the mis sion churches have aggregated 3,430. The lay workers number 1,494. Schools are also supported containing 29,000 pupils with 107 candidates for the ministry. The con tributions from native churches have amounted to nearly $40,000. Tho mis sions of the board are located iu fifteen different countries. During the reading of this report and the subsequent speeches, pages were busily engaged in distributing an octavo volume of 272 pages, containing the ''record of the case" against Dr. Briggs, prepared by the prosecuting committee. It contains only twelve lines, which anticipate the matter which is to be presented to the assembly if it shall be decided that the appeal from the dis missal of the case shall be entertained. t'he Market lu California Is Very Quiet. San Francisco, May 25 The local situation in wheat has undergone little change, business having for a long time been confined to very narrow limits, with exporters practically out of the market and millers pursuing a hand-to-mouth policy. In England near-by cargoes have recently fluctuated to Boine extent, with an occasional marked ad vance in consequence of a moro active demand from France. Otherwise there have been no changes of any note and none which could be accepted as favor ing immediate appreciation of local values. In the meantime, however, a number of vessels have been cnartered here for future loading and a few for present account, but the latter were provided for by exporters who had wheat mostly on hand before chartering. The new season will open with flattering pros pects as regards the yield of wheat and an adequate supply of cheap tonnage, though there is no expectation of realiz ing such high prices for wheat as pre vailed during the larger part of 1891. The list of engaged tonnage in port is stead ily increasing, new charters having out numbered clearances of late. Yesterday there were 21 vessels on the eng iged list and 10 of this number were for the new crop, their aggregate tonnage being 30,400 tons. On corresponding date last year the engaged tonnage was about the same, being 37,200 tons. But there was a very great dill'erence between the amounts of disengaged tonnage in port, the total be ing yesterday 111,900 tona as against 12,900 on the same date last year. In 1891 the available supply of free ships was for a long tune exceedingly small owing to the speculators having cor nered about all the tonnoga on the way that they could get hold of. Their ven ture in that year pr ved disastrous to them and there has been no inclination on the part of others this season to as sume such hazardous risks, consequent ly w eat and freights in 1892 will be ad justed on a more equitable basis. There was quite a drop in the local Buniplo inaraet yesterday, English values hay ing a marked downward tendency, but lutures were higher in Chicago and New Y'ork. The local receipts were 4,725 centals, mere was a sharp decline in futures and trading was active. THK UK VI 11 ItOLL. Judge Butt and a French Explorer Are Bead.

Ihe Hayes reports further that the ship had 11 feet of water in her hold and her rudder was unshipped. She was in a useless condition and the captain of the Hayes set fire to her be fore proceeding on Ins way. Uace Feeling Further ArouseJ liy a Colored Newspaper. Memphis. Tenn.. May 26 A colored newspaper, the Free Speech, by an edi torial paragraph stirred this community up almost to the lynching point today. In referring to the frequent lynching of negroes it said : "Nobody in this section of the coun try believes the old thread-bare lie that negro men rape white women. If South ern white men are not careful they will overreach themselves and public senti ment will have a reaction and a conclu sion will be reached which will be very damaging to the moral reputation of their women." The Morning Commercial copied the paragraph, commenting on it severely, and the Scimeter openly intimated that unless the negroes promptly applied the remedy it would be the duty of the whites to tie the author to the stake, brand him on the forehead and commit personal indignities on him. This was followed by a call for a meeting by prominent citizens at the Merchant's Exchange. A word would have secured a lynching, but finally a committee was appointed to wait on the colored editor and warn him not to re peat such language. The editor is a young man named Fleming, who was run out of Crittenden coi nty, Ark., during the race trouble two years ago. Miss Ida Well, an edu cated young colored woman, is associate editor. Editor Fleming heard of the matter, and not having faith in their pacific in tentions, left town before the committee reached him. II. Mind Said to Be Art acted Over the Death of Hla Son. New York, May 26 It is feared that Cornelius Vanderbilt's mind has become unbalanced because of his grief for the death of his son, William H. He is watched constantly and at night some one Bits up in his bedroom. The dis tracted father is utterly prostrated and though his real sickness has not been made known to the public, the informa tion comes to the press through an un questionable Bource that his mind has been seriously affected by the shock of bereavement. Chauncey Depew has been almost con stantly at the Vauderbilt mansion since the young heir's death and has ben much in the company of Mr. Vauder bilt. In giving information to the preBe, Mr. Depew, however, has had little to say concerning Mr. Vanderbilt's feelings. Dr. James McLane, the family physi cian, when asked about the reported mental derangement of Vanderbilt, said : "Mr. Vanderbilt is much prostiated, and is a great sufferer, but it is not true that he has become deranged. He slept soundly last night from exhaustion, and there were no watchers in his room." She Must Live Apart From the Man IV.10 Married Her. Seattle, May 26 "My decision is that I will live with him," half shrieked and half sobbed Miss Lottie Beard yes terday, when Judge Lichtenberg regret fully pronounced the decree that made her an unwedded wife yesterday in the divorce suit of Beard vs. Beard. Two women sat in the court room claiming the same husband. One, Mrs. Minnie Beard, claiming to be the lawful wife of Charles E. Beard, and seeking to have the tie severed, was defiant, nursing her wrath over real or fancied injuries. The other, Mrs. Lottie Beard, having ignorantly married the man when he already had an acknowledged wife, was tearful and helpless, hoping for a decree which would save her from added sorrow. But the defendant made such admissions that his first wife's story was believed and the judge granted the divorce, and also decreed that Beard should remain apart from his second wife six months. Mrs. Beard, the sec ond, then asked to be heard. "I cannot hear you now," said his honor, kindly, "come into my chambers and there I will speak with you." "I am helpless, sick with rheumatism. I am nanniless. Can there be no special dispensation in my case," pleaded the woman. "1 have done no wrong; wny ohnnM instice make me suffer?" "Madame my powers are great," said the judge, "but I can do nothing lor vnil " At these words the poor woman sank into her seat and sobbed aloud, while the defendant Beard sat Dy ner side, lnnkino- the very picture oi misery. Tha defendant left the court room, almost carrying the trembling form of his second wife. The woman who secured the divorce was collected througout the trial, and at the close seemed thoroughly to enjoy the spectacle of griel presented by her late rival. Ministry Will Fall.
