OHIO IREPUBLICANS MEET.
Horn. W. S. Kerr -Chosen Chairman.
An Enthusiastic Convention.
COLUMBUS. O.,'June 2.—The Repub-
lican state Convention assembled shortly
after 4 o’clock yesterday and adjourned
until 10 o’clock this morning so as to
allow the committees to meet.
The auditorium in which the conven-
tion met has a seating capacity of 6,000,
and standing room was in demand. \Vith
the elaborate decorations this vast as-
semblage presented a magnificent specta-
cle. The factional fighting has attracted
the largest attendance from the different
,countics that ever attended an Ohio con-
vention.
Hon. Cyrus Huling, chairman of the
state central committee, called the con-
vention to order. There were demonstra-
tions as Senators Hanna and Foraker
entered the hall, and the Glee club com-
manded such attention as to secure order.
Rev. S: S. Palmer offered prayer, after
which Chairman Huling announced that
the state committee had selected the fol—
lowing temporary organization:
Chairman, Hon. IV. S. Kerr of Mans-
fieldz-sccretnry, Hon. E. L. Lamps of
Ashtnbula; sergeant-at-arms, Frederick
Bnder of Cincinnati.
On being introduced Congressman Kerr
was heartily cheered. During the deliv-
cry of his speech there were demonstra-
tions whenever the name of McKinley
was mentioned. Mr. Kerr was very fre-
quently interrupted by applause and es—
pecially when he paid a tribute to John
Sherman, in retirement. The Doughcrty
men had an inning of demonstration
when Mr. Kerr referred to the results of
the last brilliantly managed campaign.
The feature of the convention was a love
feast that was not down on the pro—
gramme. Mr. Kerr closed by saying:
“Let us strike hands and follow the
lead of McKinley and Foraker and Han—
na and Grosvonor and Bushnell and the
rest: let us go forth from this convention
united and to victory.”
THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLES.
Dynamite Monopoly Seems to Be 11
Difficult Problem.
BLOEM II‘ONTEIN, Orange Free
State. June 2.—Among the most im-
portant points that President Paul Kru-
ger of the Transvaal Republic and Sir
Alfred Milner, governor of Cape Colony
and British high commissioner for
South Africa, will have to discuss at
their conference here in regard to the
demands of the uitlandcrs will be the
question of the dynamite monopoly, un-
der which the uitlandcrs are groaning
and which the British secretary of state
for the colonies. Mr. Joseph Chamber-
lain, has used his utmost endeavors to
remedy. But a blue book on the subject,
I issued last night, shows that matters in
Ruthis connection have practically reached
a deadlock. ,
The blue book opens with a letter from
Mr. Chamberlain, dated Jan. 13, review—
ing the whole question and protesting
that the monopoly was inconsistent with
the London convention. To this the
Transvaal government replied, under
date of;Mnrch 9, controverting the argu-
ments of Mr. Chamberlain and stating
that her majesty’s government was not
entitled to a protest. Mr. Chamberlain
On April 21, however, renewed the Brit-
ish protest, adding that her majesty’s
government reserved its rights. In an-
swer to this the Transvaal government
replied on May 22 with two curt sen-
tences to the effect that. it abided with
the views expressed in its communica-
tion of March 9.
AMERICAN PLAN WINS.
The Mediation Scheme Unanimously
Adopted at The Hague.
THE HAGUE, June 2.—~The Ameri-
can mediation scheme has been unani-
mously adopted by the subcommittee,
which embodied as article 7 the scheme
prepared ,by the subcommittee, with few
alterations.
The first commission, by a vote of 18
to 3, has adopted a resolution prohibit-
ing the use of the dumdum. or flattened
bullet. Italy, Austria and Great Britain
formed the minority. ,
It was also resolved to prohibit the use
of explosives from balloons and explo-
sive bullets. '
An agreement Was found to be impos-
sible on all the important proposals, and
the conviction is growing more than ever
,that the work of the first commission is
{doomed to failure.
ll Praise For Our Secretary.
".LONDON, June 2.—The correspondent
ofl. The Daily News at The H‘ague says:
“I 1'. Frederick Hells, secretary of the
A icrican delegation, is the author of the
American mediation proposals. In one of
the most forcible and lucid speeches the
coilference has yet heard he argued the
utility of special mediation, as illustrated
by “11110 lessons of the Spanish-American
war. He said that had Spain and Amer-
ica'bcen each assisted by a mediator,
peace would probably have been arrang-
ed after the battle of Manila.”
Mohonk Arbitration Conference.

American propositions. Everett P.
Vthcler followed and showed the differ-
ence between. the Geneva tribunal and
that of Great Britain and Argentine.
JameerVood explained how the Ameri-
can articles had been formulated on the
propositions of the Bar association. Dr.
Ward and _, Mr. W'ood declared the im-
possibility of coercive arbitration. Oth-
er remarks Were made by Mrs. Donald

dress. “ ,

CHARLES a BRIGGS.
Famous Presbyterian
Now Is a. Priest and Member of
the Episcopal Church.
Prof. Charles, A. Briggs, D.‘ D., whose
ordination to the Protestant Episcopal
priesthood occurred recently, has
been for many years a distinguished
preacher and theologian in the Pres-
byterian communion. "
Dr. Briggs was born in New York in
1841, and studied at the Union theo-
logical seminary. After a course there
of two years, from 1861 to 1863, he went
to Germany, where he pursued his
studies in the, University of Berlin.
REV. CHARLES A. BRIGGS.
(Presbyterian Theologian Who Now Is an
Episcopal Priest.)
Returning to this country in 1869, he
became pastor of a Presbyterian
church in New Roselle, N. J., where he
remained four years.
His connection with the Union the-
ological seminary as a professor dates
from 1874. In that year he accepted
the professorship of Hebrew and the
cognate languages. _ The opposition
caused by his liberal views concerning
the Bible came to ahead in 1892, when
charges were preferred against him
for heresy.
Dr. Briggs was first tried before the
New York presbytery, and after a trial
of many weeks was acquitted. An ap-
peal was taken to the general assem—
bly, which sat at Washington. Inter-
est in the case soon became intense
through the prominence of the men .
who supported Dr. Briggs and of those
who opposed him. The final judgment
of the assembly was a condemnation of
Dr. Briggs and an order suspending '
him from the ministry. His status in
the Union theological seminary re-
mained unaltered, however, and he has
continued to hold his professorship
there. .
Shortly before Easter Sunday of last
year Dr. Briggs withdrew from the
Presbyterian church, and was con-
firmed in the Protestant Episcopal
church by Bishop Potter. Soon after
he was made a deacon. His ordination
to the priesthood has caused no little I
opposition in Episcopal church circles,
and Was made the occasion of a. formal
protest from Rev. Dr. Clendenin, the
rector of St. Peter’s church, Westches-
ter, where Bishop Potter had arranged
to hold the ordination.
JAMES S. SHERMAN.
New York’s Favorite Candidate for
the Speakershlp of the: House
of Representatives.
James Schoolcraft Sherman, leading
candidate in the east for speaker, was
born in Utica, N. Y., October 5, 1855.
He is, therefore, a young man and full
of vigor. He was elected first to the
Fiftieth congress and reelected to each
succeeding congress since as a repub-
lican from the Twenty-fifth, or more
commonly known as the Utica, congres-

sional district of the state of New York.
He is one of the most popular members
of the lower house.
Before entering upon his career as
a national legislator and statesman,Mr.
Sherman had been honored at home.
In 1884 he was elected mayor of his na-
tive city, which is strongly democratic,
as a republican, receiving a substan-
tial majority, and he was chairman of
the republican state convention held at
Saratoga in 1895. Mr. Sherman. re-
beived an academic and collegiate edu-
cation. He graduated from Hamilton
college in the class of 1878, studied law,
was admitted to the bar in 1880, and
' became at once a- member of the firm of
Cookinham & Sherman. He is not an
orator, but has the reputation of be-
ing a fine presiding officer. He has
often occupied the chair temporarily,
and when some of the most important
measures were under consideration.
His district embraces the counties of
Oneida and Herkimer and has a popué
lation of 168,530. In the last election
he received 10,484 majority over his
democratic opponent.

Americans Building Steam and Elec-
tric Roads and Working Mines.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-—-The state
department is in receipt of an interesting
report from Consul Allen, at Seoul, de-
tailing the trade conditions in Korea and
showing some curious facts in connection
with the Land of the Morning Calm. Im’
ports and exports fdr 1898 have fallen
OE almost a third as compared with 1897
owing to the scanty rice crop, which
forced the natives to retain for food
much grain that otherwise would have
gone abroad in trade.
It: was announced that on May 1 of
this your four new ports would be opened
to foreign trade and residence. They are
Kunsun on the west coast. Massampo on
the south end of the peninsula, and an
obscure place called Sungchin on the east
coast. Pong Yang is to be opened as a
trade mart.
The first Korean railroad, a standard
gauge American line 2.") miles long, con-
necting the capital, Seoul, with its chief
port. Chcmulpo, will be completed dur-
ing the present year. It was to cost $1,-
500,000 in gold. 'Its projector, Mr. Morse,
last year sold the concession outright to
a Japanese syndicate. The road will be
almost wholly of American matgjal. .
The first overhead trolley road in the
country is nearing completion in Seoul.
It is a street line six miles long, built by
the same contractor, H. Collbran, as the
steam road just mentioned. The material
for this is entirely American and Japa-
nesc.
American gold mines in the northern
provinces of Pong Yang are promising
good results. The company employs 40
Americans. The mill is at present work-
Ing only 20 stamps. but 40 more are in
course of construction.
The W’ofl'd’n lice":- Siulply.’ '
The beer which is consumed through-
out the world in a single year, says the
London Home Magazine, would make
a lake 6 feet deep, 3% miles long, and a
mile wide, or 2,319 acres in area. In this
vast lake of beer, says the writer, we
could easily drown all the English-
' speaking people, to the number of 120,-
000,000, throughout the entire world, or
we could give a beer-bath to every man,
‘woman and child at the same time in
the entire continent of America, while
all the peoples of England, Scotland,
Ireland and France could find standing
room on its bed. ' -
Foreign-erg In the \Vest.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota
and California were the four states of.
the country which by the federal cen-
sus of 1890 had a larger foreign-born
than native-born male population of
. voting age. The percentages were 53,
59, 65 and 50%, respectively. Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and North Dakota have
a large Scandinavian population; Cali-
fornia has mn'ny Chinese residents of
voting age.
