SOLEMN RITES AT ST. LOUIS, IN WHICH 100 OR MORE BISHOPS AND PRIESTS ASSIST CARDI NAL GIBBONS. NEW METHODIST BISHOPS. Their Selection Will Next Oecnpy the Attention of the Cleveland Conference. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 10.—Amid the most solemn, Impressive and resplendent cere monies ever celebrated within the walls of the old cathedral, Rt Rev. John J. Kain, archbishop of the diocese of St. Louis, was today invested with the order of the pallium, the sacred insignia of his archiepiscopal office. This is the first time in the history of the archdiocese of St. Louis that the investiture of the pallium upon the archbishop has been solemnized. A large number of the most dis tinguished prelates and church dignitaries from all over the country graced the occasion by their presence, and assisted in the cere monies. The conferring of the pallium was performed by Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, who was assisted by twenty-five archbishops and bishops, and one hundred or more priests. At 10 o'clock the procession, which was to precede the service, formed in the sacristy of the cathedral ar.d took up the line ot march. It was headed by the cross-bearer, following whom came a body of 100 or more visiting and local priests attired in white surplices. The archbishops and bishops came next and were followed by a train of acolytes, all the altar boys and the officers of the mass. Arch bishop Kain and his attendants, under a purple canopy, came next, and the rear of the train was brought up by Cardinal Gibbons, attired in full canonical robes, under a scarlet canopy, attended by his deacons of honor and two pages, who held up his robes. Two pages similarly attended the archbishop. The entire procession entered the cathedral and marched up the center aisle to the sanctuary. After the processional had been rendered by the choir, the Introit was chanted by the Kenrick seminarians In the sanctuary, and the celebration of the sacrifice of pontiflcial high mass was begun. A choir of 125 vocal ists from the various churches of the city sang Beethoven's symphony mass, accompa nied by the organ and an orchestra. Cardin al Gibbons acted as celebrant, and at the con clusion of the celebration Bishop Keane, of Washington, D. C, delivered an eloquent sermon. At the close of the sermon, Cardinal Gib bons was again robed in the full vestments of his high office, and the ceremony of the conferring ot the pallium was begun. The pallium, which had been placed on the Epistle side of the altar, was handed the cardinal, who arose and placed it upon the kneeling archbishop's shoulder. After con ferring the sacred insignia. Cardinal Gibbons went to the gospel side of the altar, while the archbishop, with the pallium on his shoulders, arose and ascended his throne. The master of ceremonies escorted a delega tion of prominent citizens, representing the laity, within the sanctuary, to deliver an ad dress of congratulation. Archbishop Kain responded with much feeling, thanking them for their expressions of kindness. At the conclusion of the services, which were at tended by throngs of people, the church dig nitaries took carriages for Kenrick seminary, where a banquet was served. CHOOSE BISHOPS NEXT. Many Candidates Before the Cleve land Convention. CLEVELAND, 0., May 10.—The delegates to the Methodist general conference are begin ning to discuss the coming election of bish ops, which will be the business next In im portance to the disposition of the women del egates' question. It has been decided that no nominations will be made, the list being open to as many candidates as desire to enter. The delegation will vote for whomsoever they please, those first receiving a majority being elected. Already a number of candidates have been announced. Among them are Rev. Dr. "WORLD. QUINTETTE," WHICH LE AYES FOR PARIS MONDAY TO PACE JOHN S. JOHNSON. WILLIAM BAINBRIDGE. HERMAN VOGT. FRED RAU. H. VAN HERIK. JOHN A. LUND. J. W.

Hartzell, of Louisiana, secretary of the Freed men's Aid society; Dr. J. M. Buckley, of New Ycrk; Dr. C. C McCabe, of New York; Dr. S. F. Upham, of the New England conference; Dr. William A. Pencer, of Philadelphia; Dr. T. B. Neeley, of Philadelphia; Dr. Charles W. Smith, of Pittsburg, and Dr. George E. Reed, of the New York East conference. It has not yet been decided how many bishops will b-j chosen, but the plan recently proposed by Bishop Walden ls meeting with favor. At present there are fifteen bishops. Twelve are located In this country, two are missionary bishops in Africa and India, and two are oc cupied in missionary work in various coun tries. Bishop Walden suggested that the two mis sionary bishops be made full-fledged bishops ana given Episcopal residences In Africa and India, and that five additional bishops be cre ated with Episcopal residences, one to be as signed to India, another to China, a third to Japan, a fourth to Europe and the fifth to South America. He thought twelve bishops would then be able to perform the work In this country which is now done by fourteen men, because they would be relieved of the foreign work. If that suggestion Is followed, five new bishops will be elected, and the total number increased to twenty-one. Already soma lively electioneering is being done, and when the voting beglnß the contest will be spirited. The religious services at the Armory today consisted of a sermon by Rev. Crawford Jotm- ST.

COLUMBUS, O..May 10.—The district grand lodge of the Independent Grand Order of B'Nal B'Rith, composing -Ohio, Indiana, Mis souri, Colorado and New Mexico, convened here today with about seventy delegates in attendance. President Leo Wise, of Cincin nati, in his annual address, criticised the new ritual because in his judgment it at tached too much importance to racial Juda him.and recommended that it be revised. Per sonally he Is an American, and refused to believe that his religious faith had anything to do with his nationality. m FRANK JAMES AS A TRAIN GUARD. St. Louis Express Officials Think He Would Intimidate Bandits. ST. LOUIS, May 10.—Frank James as a guard on express trains carrying large amounts of money or valuables Is one of the novelties the express people are now ar ranging. Negotiations have been In progress for several weeks, and the possibilities are the contract will be closed within a few days. The effect of James' name. In view j of his former prowess in robbing trains him- I self, is what the express companies are aim i ing after. They do not know, they say, ; that he could stop a determined robber any J more than one of their own messengers, but I they think the ordinary train robber would ! hesitate to tackle him. James is willing to ! accept the position, and guarantees that no j train in his charge will be robbed except ' over his dead body, with one single pro vision, and that is that the express people ! pur up a bond of $20,000, this amount to go | to his widow in case of his death. HAS FOUNDED A NEW RELIGION. Descendant of Sitting Ball to Erect a Church in Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, May 10.—George Brad shaw, of Frankfort, claiming to be a lineal ! descendant of Sitiing Bull, the Indian chief, j claims to have founded a new religion, the tenets of which he locks within his own breast. However, he is arranging to further the doctrine he espouses by erecting a house of worship, the architecture of which is unique. The building has eight distinct corners and as many gables, with a room in each gable in which he pretends to be in close communion with Him who doeth all tilings well. Bradshaw will dedicate his new house of worship July 4. With an eye to business, an admission fee will be charged to all services, besides which the gable rooms will be leased to the highest bidders for stated periods. COURSE OF A METEOR FORETOLD. Computati-n on One Sighted Three Years Ago Probably Correct. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 10.—John E. Lewis, of Ansonla, while photographing Holmes' comet through a telescope, on Jan. 17, 1893, caught upon the plate the path of a la; ge meteor, showing its place among cer tain stars. Prof. H. A. Newton, of Yale, made a very careful computation, showing that the meteorite probably fell at a place ahcut two miles north of Danbury, Conn., near Kohanza reservoir. This morning Prof. Newton received intelligence of the finding of a meteorite at almost exactly the com puted point. It Is described as an oval speci men, fifteen and a half inches long, and seven and a half Inches in diameter, weigh ing about twenty-six pounds. The professor has asked that the meteorite be sent here for examination. IN MEMORY OF HIRSCH. Hebrews of New York Hold Ser vices. NEW YORK, May 10.—Hebrews of all shades of belief and a good.y sprinkling of Christians filled Temple Emanuel at the spe cial memorial services for the late Baron Maurice de Hirs.h, today. The services were opened by the singing of the anthem "Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord," by the choir. Rev. Stephens Wise, rabbi of Bnal Jeshurun, delivered the opening prayer, and was fol lowed by Col. John B. Weber, late commis sioner of immigration, who knew the baron Intimately, and who delivered an address. Hon. Oscar S. Strauss and Hon. Simon W. Rose also paid glowing tributes to the mem ory of the deceased. Rev. Dr. Kaufman Kohler, of Temple Bethel, pronounced the benediction, and the services were closed. SUICIDE CLUB ORGANIZED. Little Rock Men Decide on the Lim ited Plan of Extinction. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 10.—A suicide club Is being organized in Little Rock. It is learned that this club ls to be a branch of the big club at Chicago. The rules of the Chicago club will govern this local club, and ea_h of the members will assemble in his nlub room and draw straws to see who shall take his life. The unlucky number must kill himself within one year, commenc- Ing the night of the drawing. A drawing for suicidal honors is not the only pleasure enjoyed by the club. There is the ban quet, which is held at different times dur ing the year, and the club rooms are to be fitted up elegantly. -p» BIG SUIT OVER A MASTODON. Professor John Kost Wants $20,000 Damages From a Railway. LANSING, Mich., May 10.—A suit was commenced In the Ingham circuit court yes terday which will determine the value of the skeleton of a mastodon. Prof. John Kost, of this city, ls complainant against the l.f.e Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad company in an action for $20,000 damages to valuable geological specimens, which were shipped here from Tiffin, 0., and which, ft Is claimed, were badly used in transit. He alleges that the skeleton of the mastodon was the most perfect In existence, and that It was damaged to the extent of $10,000. __«_. GOLD DEPOSITS IN A HIGHWAY. Rich Discovery Made hy Workmen Near Mlddletown, N. Y. MIDDLETOWN, N. V., May 10.—While worklngmen were repairing the highway at Campbell Hall, ten miles south of here, this morning, traces of gold deppslts were discov ered In a bank. Specimens were taken to Goshen, where the nitric acid test was ap plied, and the gold was declared to be gen uine. There ls much excitement in the little village over the discovery. VETO IS ."-,.- __GTED - * SENATE WILL RUSH THE RIVER AND HARBOR B_Ll_ THROUGH CONFERENCE. • IT WILL DELAY ADJOURNMENT, AS THE BODY WILL REMAIN IN SESSION LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE FINAL ACTION. APPROPRIATIONS TO THE FRONT. House Has Practically No Other Business to Attend To—Fore cast for the Week. WASHINGTON, May 10.—The probabilities are that the consideration of the river and harbor appropriation bill will be concluded Monday. According to agreement, this bill will be followed by the resolution to seat Mr. Dupont as a senator from Delaware. With the Dupont resolution disposed of, the bill making appropriations for the District of Columbia will be considered, and it probably will consume the remainder of the week. Only the provision in the river and harbor bill for the construction of a breakwater at Santa Monica, Cal., remains to be.acted upon. There will be several speeches on this ques tion Monday. Senators Berry, Vest and Per kins will oppose the amendment, and Senator Frye, as chairman of the committee on com merce, will explain the committee's reason for its action. Senator White will reply brief ly to Mr. Frye. After this, It Is expected that the vote on the amendment will be taken, and that whatever the fate of this amend ment, the bill will be promptly passed. It is not expected to remain long in conference, as there is a dlspo—tion manifest in both houses to get the bill to the president at as early a date as practicable. This is due to the fear of a veto and to the determination to remain In session long enough to give congress time to act in case of such adverse indorsement by the president. The agree ment in regard to the Dupont case ls that it shall be taken up fer debate Immediately after the disposal of the river and harbor bill and that a vote shall be taken not later than 5 o'clock of the second day after the debate begins. It is doubtful whether the entire time allowed for debate will be re quired. The result of the vote is still in doubt. It depends upon one or two Populist senators, who have not made their position known, so far as can be ascertained. There are several features in the district bill which are expected to arouse debate, but If it should be passed before the close of the week, the committee on appropriations .ill have the fortification appropriation bill ready to take up, and will press its consid eration. There will, however, be strong pressure in that event to work on the cal endar. The Cuban situation, as presented by the imposition of the death sentence upon the members of the Competitor party, brings forward a decidedly interesting question, which may result In an attempt at action on this question by the senate during the week. In fact, the outlook in this direction ls full of possibilities. THE HOUSE. The Indications are that the house will drift along for the remainder of the ses sion, giving conference reports on appro priation bills the right of way, and dispos ing of such incidental matters as It can. There is a good deal of pressure from certain quarters for the consideration of the Pa cific railroad funding bill, and the immi gration bills, and while there Is a prob ability that the latter may be considered at the session, the leaders In control of the house seem to have set their faces against the funding bill for this session unless It is prolonged beyond present anticipations. The immigration bill can hardly come up this week, as the chairman of the committee, Mr. B.rtholdt, is at his home In St. Louis attending the state convention. Tomorrow ls District of Columbia day and Wednesday ls pre-empted by the special order giving it up to the pension bills. It ls llke^r that the contested election cases of Rlnaker vs. Downing, and Murray vs. Elliott, which were to have been considered last week, will, with such conference reports as arc presented, occupy the remainder of the time. The legislative, executive and judicial, the sundry civil and naval bills are now In conference. It ls not Improbable that a res olution regarding the protection of the two Americans sentenced to death by the Span ish authorities at Havana may be presented, and furnish the text for a reopening of a discussion of the entire Cuban situation. 1 - f| SILVER THREATS IN MONTANA.

DOOMED MEN HAVE A REPRIEVE. No Action Can Be Taken Until the Spanish Authorities Act on the Sentences. MADRID, May 10.—There are evidences of growing popular excitement in Spain over the attitude of the United States government to ward tht question of the filibusters captured on board the Competitor. The riots and out breaks of popular hatred towards the United States at the time of the passage in congress of the resolutions favoring the recognition of the Cubans as belligerents have not been for gotten, and the sentiments which caused them are but smoldering. The Spanish government has on all possible occasions expressed its appreciation of and satisfaction with the ef forts made by the United States government to prevent, as far as lay in its power, the giving of unlawful aid to the Cuban insur gents by citizens of the United States. But the widespread sympathy felt for the Insur gents in the United States is well recognized by the Spanish people, and the news of ex peditions from the United Slates landed from time to time in Cuba creates intense Irrita tion. The news of the capture of the men on the Competitor was received with great satis faction and rejoicing. It waa ielt to be tho first opportunity that had been offered to make an example of those engaged in feed ing the insurrection. The popular demand for their execution is general, and is likely to become vociferous. Little account Is taken of the refined questions of treaty interpreta tion involved in the protest of the United States government against the executilon of the sentences. The action of the United States is regarded rather as an expression of sympathy with the insurrection, and there will be a STRONG POPULAR CLAMOR to disregard it. The public feeling on the question is fostered by the tenor of the ad vices received from Havana. Dispatches from there affirm that Capt. Gen. Weyler is great ly irritated at the attitude of the United States on the question of the sentence. It Is asserted that If the Spanish government adopts a contrary view, owing to the rep resentations made by the government, Gen. Weyler will resign his post. Allegations are made in these Havana dis patches of very extraordinary conduct on the part of Ramon O. Williams, United State consul general. If these are not true, they are neverthelsss certain to add fuel to tho fire of popular indignation In Spain. Mr. Williams' attitude, it is asserted, ls the sub ject of general censure in Havana, and It is said to be very provocative. The story goes on to relate that the United States con sul general shows himself everywhere In public places In Havana, using irritating and menacing language regarding the probable action towards the authorities in case the sen tences upon the CompetKor captives are ex ecuted. The Imparcial, commenting upon the atti tude of the United States, says that a man ac cused of acts of piracy admitted before a court-martial in Havana that the American police made a point of vanishing when fili bustering expeditions for Cuba were about to leave Key West. El Liberal declares that the Spanish gov ernment ought tc have sent a squadron to Cuba, in addition to arming all the trans- Atlantic steamships at itß disposal for that service. It asserts that the steamer Bermuda, belonging to the Cuban Insurgent commit tee, embarked upon the Florida coast 10.000 rifles, six pieces of artillery, three mitrail leuses, a quanMty of munitions of war and 600 men, the majority of whom were gunners of the United States militia. This embarka tk^ook place, El Liberal says, in spite of the protests of the Spanish consul at Jack sonville against allowing it, and the Bermuda left without difficulty or obstruction, and, according to the telegrams received from Capt. Gen. Weyler, the expedition has already landed. This report has created a sensation in Madrid, and astonishment ls expressed by El Liberal at the conduct of the United States In the matter. At a meeting of Conservative senators and deputies on Saturday evening, the premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo, declared that It would be impossible to introduce reforms for Cuba before the situation there had be come normal again. He admitted that the Spanish arms alone would fail to terminate the war, but he said he believed that the discouragement of the insurgents and the prevalence of racial hatred among them would contribute largely to the cessation of hostilities. All the comments of the press manifest tho deep Impression made upon the public mind by the action of the United States towards the sentence of the Competitor captives. A later dispatch from Havana confirms the re port that Capt. Gen. Weyler has threatened to resign unless the sentences are executed. Senor Canovas del Castillo, the premier, being asked for an expression of his opinion regarding the matter, said: "The afTair must be settled In accordance with the law and treaties." The Heraldo compares the offensive con duct of the United States consul general at Havana with that of the British consul, who made many representations in favor of par doning the prisoners. The Heraldo maintains that the rebels in Cuba are constantly receiv ing assistance from America, without which the rebellion would have been suppressed long ago. The Epoca, which ls the ministerial organ, discusses the question In a far more conserv ative and less embittered manner than the other newspapers. The Epoca also says that the attitude of President Cleveland and Mr. Olney appears to be incredible, and de clares that the theory ascribed to Mr. Olney by the New York World deserves no serious reply, because the offense cannot be regarded as a question of contraband, according to the principles of International law. The Correo says that the demands of the United States are unjust and menacing, be cause it ls proved that filibustering expedi tions are organized in the United States without difficulty, and that the consequences of such conduct wound the national feeling in Spain. Several papers publish the report that be sides Gen. Weyler, Generals Ochando and Ahumada, who hold important commands in Cuba, are also threatening to resign if the decree of the court-martial ls quashed. SPAIN MUST APPROVE. Death Sentence oi Competitor . Crew Can Not Be Carried Oat Soon. HAVANA, May 10.—The Spanish govern ment has been asked to approve the sen tences of death passed by a court-martial upon the men captured on the Competitor, on a charge of piracy and rebellion. The men sentenced are Alfredo Laborde, said to be the leader of the party, and claiming American citizenship; Dr. Ellas Bedla, also claiming American citizenship; William Gll dea, said to be a British subject; John Mel ton, a native of Kansas; Teodoro Mats. This places the fate of the men in the hands of the authorities at Madrid, tad las ures that PRICE TWO CENTS-] JRHSSS. f—NO. 132. they will not be executed without an order from ths Spanish government. James Creelman, correspondent of the New York World, and Frederick W. Lawrence, correspondent of the New York Journal, who were ordered by the authorities to leave the island for having sent dispatches to their papers offensive to the government, sailed tor New York today on board the Ward line steamship Seguranca. Among the insurgents killed In the en gagement at Cunda. near Guira Melena in Havara pr-vlnc?, three days ago, was the black leader Aurello Collazo. lieutenant to j Capt. Fuentas, who has a sanguinary repu- I tation, and the leader Acla Vigoa, lieutenant ! to Collazo. The insurgent leader Mamerto Romero was wounded and taken prisoner in an attack upon the village of Cruces. The report that Maximo Gomez ls in the province of Matanzas ls denied, and It ls said that be is now encamped at Placetas, in Santa Clara province. Last night the insurgents burned 158 houses, the city hall and the schools of Hoyo Colorado. A report has been recrived of another engagement which Gen. Vinclan has had with the Insurgents In Pinar del Rto. The rebel force was made up of numer ous bands of Insurgents, and they stood for forty-five minutes before they were dis lodged. Upen their retreat the Insurgents burned the rest of the town or Cacarajaearas. I The official report of the engagement says that the tronps had one killed and twentv three wounded. There are no further de tails cf the affair. It ls known that the British consul Is In : terested in behalf of the Competitor's cap tives sentenced to death. He Invokes clem | ency for the prisoners. This action of the British government In the case has caused a sensation here, and It has been the topic of comment today by all social classes in the community. It would be difficult to say from any admissions made in official quarters what 1 effect this new development will have In the case. There is a marked absence of irrlta , bi'.lty manifested in the comments on the ( subject, ar.d the action of the British official ; seem. to be taken In very good part. It is ! pointed nut that the Intervention of the Brit | lsh con Fulls couched In different form from that of Qm United States consulate, and is, i In fact, expressed In very friendly terms, ln ; viking the clemency of the Cuban authori | ties. The question of the execution of th_ I captives of the Competitor Is recognized to be ) one of the most Important which has oc i furred since the Insurrection broke out. Now I that the question has been referred to the j government at Madrid, the situation here has ■ quieted down, though there ls no cessation ! of Interest and discussion of the question. I The attitude of the public is rather one of ! waiting on tho resolution of the Madrid gov ernment. The waiting Is attended by much j Impatience and no little anxiety. ONLY JUSTICE WANTED. I United States Has Made No Demands Upon Spain. LONDON. May 10.—The Madrid correspond ent of the Standard says: Senor Canevas del Castillo has publicly stated that America has not protested against Spain's right to punish filibuster., but only ! against the summary trial. American citizens j are entitled to be tried In the civil courts i under the treaties of 1795 and 1877. The Span ! ish government Is willing to consider the de j maud, and has cabled Capt. Gen. Weyler to ! delay tbe executions pending the result of I negotiations which are actively proceeding j between Washington and Madrid to define j the interpretation of the aforesaid treaties. "Senor Canovas mads A long _.pee :h at a meeting of Conservative senators and dipu ties on Saturday erasing, In which he de clared that th_ vrai a nst'on.il Question which must some day be settled »H_ the a__i. t .nce~ol all the parties lie .oclared .hat it was lmr-ossible to lntrotlu_> reforms into Cuba before the sltjatit.n there rhou'.d rutDM tiS no .nil condit ....

If, however, the premier went on, publ . opinion In Spain should pronounce for a more radical and quicker introduction of colonial home lule, the Conef-rvatlve government and party would willingly r«sign the direction of affairs into the hands of those consenting to assume such responsibilities. "The Epoca (government organ) In guarded language recommends prudence and depre cates demonstrations. It clearly Intimates that the government will make another ef fort to conciliate President Cleveland by or dering Gen. Weyler to send all the papers bearing upon the case here for the supreme court to pronounce upon. The execution of the sentence would thus virtually be shelved. The rest of the Madrid papers are of the opinion that America has taken an ungener ous position in Spain's difficulties." SPAIN WILL NOT BE HASTY. It Wuuld Be an Easy Matter to Cause Complication-. WASHINGTON, May 10.—If any official news has been received by the government In Washington today regarding the Americans captured aboard the Competitor by the Span iards and condemned by court-martial to b. shot, diligent inquiry fails to disclose Its nature. Secretary Olney, to whom a note was addressed on the subject, replied that there was nothing new to make public. In quiry in congressional circles among those directly interested in the case of one of the men—Milton—shows that no additional facts have been received by them. Senator Pasco, of Florida, who has taken especial Interest In the cases, believes that the Spanish gov ernment will not be Inclined towards hasty action, a. In the present state of public feel ing any summary decision by it may lead to serious consequences. The fact that the Havana officials have re ferred the execution of sentence to Madrid ls a source of gratification to those inter ested in the prisoners' fate,and inspires the be lief that some leniency will be shown. It is not Improbable that an effort may be made In congress during tho coming week by res olution to acquaint the public with the facts in the case, by calling on the presi dent for Information, and requesting him to take Fuch .{^ps as will give the condemned men a civil" "trial.

When the Laurada came ! into port it was observed that she was draw ing very little water. The news of her ar rival was made known to the Spanish consul ; general, who hurried to have a conference • with Marshal McCarthy at the barge office. Meantime It appears that tho consul general had communicated with his subordinates, who kept a close watch on the Laurada. They j learned that a lighter, the name of which I could not be ascertained, had made fast at j Pier 11, East river. The detectives watched : the delivery of many boxes and cases on I board the lighter. All this time a tug was In waiting for the detectives at Plor 3, East : river.

LONDON, May 10.—The Dally News will say In an editorial tomorrow regarding the cases of the Competitor captives at Havana: "The serious news from Cuba places tho Spanish government between two fires. It ls difficult to see how either side can recede. If the Spanish government sacrifices (Jen. Weyler, It will probably have to be prepared to sacrifice Its own life. Public opinion la Madrid Is hardly well enough Informed to promote a repetition of tho vigorous case of 1873. The Spani.lt ought to distrust their own natural ferocity in cases of this sort. The butchery of the men of the Virglntus, which many of them applauded In 1873 as a fine and spirited act, was received with hor ror throughout the world." I. ANSB IN ASHES.
