e o 1 HARRISON VICTORY ASSURED He Has Sufficient Delegates Now to Secure the Presidential Nomination. HOW HIS FRIENDS VIEW THE SUBJECT $n Addition to Those Regularly Instracted the President Has Recelved the Pere sonmt Assarance of Many Others of Their Support. 513 FOURTEENTR STREE Wasiixetos, D. C., May There will be %03 delegates in the national republican convention at Minneapolis, There will, therefore, ba required to nominate the republican candidate for tho presidency an even 450 votes, It has been a question until today whether President Harrison will go 0 that convention with enough delegates in structea 1n bis favor to nominate him on the first ballot. It is conceded by his opponents that if he does there will be an end to all ocontest against him. If he does not there will be a scramble in which President Har- rison will take no part, because his attitude has always been against seeking a renomina tion unless it came to him as a natural and voluntary reward for the conspicuous merit of his administration. Despite the dignified attitude of the pres- 1dent, some of his friends here have ket a careful accountof the results of the elec- ton of delegates to the national by both district and state conventions. summary of this semi-official tab lished yosterday mornine in some localities. Bince thon, there have been some important changes, butthe tab as kept atthe head- quarters of the president's friends, indicates that his renomination is absolutely assured. Whom the Delegates Favor. It s to be remembered that many delegates have been elected without instructions who st tho same time cau be counted for Presi- dent Harrison. In many cases these delo- gotes have written personal letters here, de- claring their allegiance to the president.even without instructions from their conventious.

These deiegates aro known to the friends of the presijent, and bail from widely scattered states and territories, rauging from Arizona to West Virginia. The total of this summary of the president’s strength for renomination from ail directions yet known, as given out by his friends, 18 513 delegates, or sixty-threa more than is needed for a réuomination. Publishers Requost Favors. Many publishers of weeklies and monthlies throughout the west are writiug earnost let- tors to cougressmen urging the passage of the sonate bill permitting such publications to be delivered by local: mail delivery at reg- ular second class rates. Under the present laws all sccond class mail goes through the mails at 1 cent per pound. In cities, how- ever, whers the publications are 1ssued aud whero there is free delivery, such mail mat ter, 1f intended for local delivery, must pay toird class rates of 1 cent for two ounces, weeklics alone excented Thoobjectof the law was evidently to pre- vent daily papers from clogging the mails and saving publishers' deiivery. The law, however, works an injustice to publishers of monthlies, semi-monthlies and semi-weck lies. It is proposed to amend it %0 as to ex cept only daily pavers from the benefits of local-delivery at second class rates, Hon. John Rosicky of the Pokrok Zapadu and publisher of two Bobemiau monthlies, bas writtcn a stroug_argument on tho sub- ject which Senator PPaddock will present in person to Scnator Sawyer’s committee. Imposing on the People. The Agricultural department issued today as special bulletin No, 32 a valuable report upon the extent aud character of food adulterations, 1t is & pamphlet of nearly 200 pages and makes an alarming showing of the prevalence of fraud upon the stomachs of the poor. It furnishes full warrant for the at- tempt now being made in congress to pass a pure food bill. 1t also shows why the vari ous traders now growing wealthy from fraud ulent practices in this line are combiniag in the house to defeat the measure. The report estimates that §:00,000,000 of adulterated foods and drugs are soid aonually in the United States. Excluding Indecont Mail Matter, ‘The Woman's Christian Temperance union of Fremont hias petitionea Senator Mander- s0n to vote for Henderson's bill amending section 3,503 of the revised statutes so as 1o make it more stringent upou the subject of exciuding indecont mattcr from the mails, This hill meets with inteuso and widespread opposition from legitimate publishers throughout the country and unless modified will be defeated. It was drawn by some one not familiar with the meaning of certsn words in the English language, as it gives tho Postoftice dopartment the most absolute and arbitrary censorship of the press urder which there would be mors harm done than permtted by the present law. Toe bill will probabiy be modificd by the senate commit teo on judiciary. The spirit is all right. Miscelluneous. Secretary Noble has denied Aibert E.

A noticeable number of handsome churches are alroady gathered there: clubbouses are occupying the most prominent corners, and as an_advance guard of Columbia college, the University of the City of New York, and the other endowed schools s00n to be there, private schools are going in to possess the land. Ono of these, the Misses Ely's school, which removed last week from Columbis _Heights, Brookiyn, occupying one of the most noticeable buildings on Riverside Drive, covering the whole front of the block from Eighty-fifth to Eighty-sixtn streets. Its bay windows, wide piazzas, ample grounds and well apnointed gymnasium assure its pupils more light, fresh air and exercise than can often be obtained in a city school.

Commissioner Tin e Favors Submissiou of Another Bond Proposition, At the session of the Board of County Commissiouers to be held next Saturday, the committee of the whole will submit a favor- able report upon another bond proposition, Chairman Timme is the father of this proposition, which is to allow the voters of Douglas county to decide whether or uot §130,000 m long-timo bonas shali be 1ssued aud sold, the proceeds to be used fn improving the countrs roads, Chairman Timme stated that he had given tho matter consideravle thought and attention.

Dr. Gambleof Ohis moved that a counmi t- oo be appointed to take up the matter of the Ordor of Denconosses A motion to adjourn was carried. CHURCH EXNTENSION, Enthu Iastic Mass Meoting in Behalf of This Branch of the Work, Over 2,500 people were present last even ing in the conference hall at the mass meet ing of the delegates ana church people gen erally, celled togetner w hear of church ex tension work. Bishop Foss presided, and when the open- ing hymn was aonounced at $ o'clock an n that had been placed on the platform pealed forth the chords ot “*Go, Labor On' No. 6 in the little bi-monthly gotten out for Methodist church extension work. These littie pamphlets wers distributed all through the house and there was no excuse for any one remaining mute. Everybody sang, and the sound of that hearty congregational sing g was weli calculated to make a lonesome mortal feel good, even if there had been noth- ing better on the program, Some noticeabls changes had been made n the appearance of the hall since the ad journment of the conference at 1:30 o'ciock. The seats had all been permanently put in place, and the floral decorations that had Deen grouped about the front of the stage re moved to make room that was necessary to relieve the cramped condition of things in the frout of the hall. After prayer by Dr. Cady of the Rock River conference and the singing of *‘Won- derful Story of Love,"” Bishop Foss intro duced Dr. ‘Alfrea J. Kvnew of the Upper Iowa conference, the veteran secretary of the Church Extension society, who nad filled that position for many years and had been inumately connected with that work for over a quarter of a ceaturs. Building Up Altars. Dr. Kynett began his address by remark- ing that he could hardly realize that he had been engaged for twenty-six years in 1s particulas branch of church ~ work. The Baptist church and the Presbyterians had been active 1n the work of church extension, and had disbursed an average of £175,000 a vear in the erection of new churches, Otbher denominations were in the same field, and the Mothodists w them, each to do the w providence, had assign “We aro surprised ar sults that have attended our efforts during the twenty-3ix years that tLis work has been in prozress,” he said. *“T'hrough special con- tributions together with the amount raised by collections we have put nearly 3,000,000 into this field. We havealso created a per- manent loan fund amounting to §750,000 more. We have aided over 5,000 churches scattered through the states and territories of our union. This amounts to nearly_one-third of all the churches owned oy our church in this country, and whon we look out into the fu- re and realize that at the end of auother re in the field with yrk whicn God, 10 his 1 them, 4 gratified by the re twenty-six years we shall bs in ile midst” of & population of 120,000,000 of people; when we realize that we are holding this conforence in & city not vet fifty years old, and containing 140,000 inhab- itants, we are impressed with the great re- spoosivility resting on us in tbis matter. Along with the West. One of the most gratilying results of our work is that originatea by Chaplain Me- Cabe, our frontier system of church uxton- sion.” Under this system we have given £250 each to 430 churches, and on the day of dedi- cation the average value of these churches has been $2,000. The speaker rev‘ewed the history of the Frocborn Garrettson loan fund that had beeu the means of raising up 100 churches, and which was created by a womaa who wished 10 rear a monument to the memory of her dead father that would endure after marble had crumbled to decay. It wus necessary that every Methodist church should contrib- ute its full quota toward the prosecution of this glorious work. It was one reason why no one should neglect the trip to Lincolu, that they mizht view the country that was being filled with church spires through the agency of this society. 1f the trip could be extended through the northwest they would be more than ever ip sympathy with the work. Avother hymn was sung, and Bishop Foss theu introduced Dr. William A. Spencer of the Iock River conference, the present first assistant corresponding sccretary of the chiurch extension work. Frontiers a A Sunday School Dr. Spencer spoke of his first trip across the state of Nobraska twenty-five years ago a mule train aud with its attendant incon- veniences. He forded Salt creek, as bridges Were 0Ot NUMEroUs 1u e statd in those days, and ne also had a little experience in a general Indian scare. He had uoticed that the frontier had changea front. It remwinded uim of the Irishmau at the battlo of the Wilderness, who desired to got out of the fght, but déclared to a comrade it was tho guoecrest fight he had ever been in, as there was no rear anywhere, because every sido was the front. The speaker thought that Mothodism ericountered four frontiers, one of which was in New Eugland, where the ny pew lmmigraots gave the church workers plenty to do, Another frontier was i the southeast, another in the southwest and the fourtk in the northwest. “We have 25,000 Sunday schools in th country with 303,000 ofticers aud teachers, said tho doctor, “and this is only in our varticular branch of Methodism and there are cighteen kinds of Methodists not includ- ing the backsliders and the sloepy ones.” The speaker related an affecting incident of tholute war where oneof McClellan's regiments was raliied again and again when broken Dby the irresistible advauce of tne cuew tho music_of some of the old Metnodist bymos. He said that if the children were properly trained and brought into_young peopie’s societies of the church, in fiftcen years the problem of capturing America for Christ would bave besn solved. Chaplatn MeCube's Stories. After Dr. Spencer, the chairman intro- ducod Chaplain C. C. McCabe, whose con- nection with the work of church extension is aimost as widely known as Methodism itself. Dr. McCabe was enthusiastically received. Ho said that he could not help but foel grateful for these manifestations of regard, for next to the “well done” of God be prized the “well done” of the church. Ho referred to the value of the services of the proceding speakers duningiho sixteen years he had been associated with them. He reiated one of his characteristic stories in which a young woman,a dwart, was visited by a bishop whose evesight was cot of the best. The zood bishop 100k thesupposed child on his lap and said iu a fatherly manoer, “Well, my little girl, can you read?’ For auswer the girl got a Greek testament ard read him a passage from the origiual text. Much surprised, the bishop asked, ** Wy, littie girl, bow old are you? “Nineteen, sir.” “Then gel right down off from wy lap,” ejaculated the divine, The climax brought down tho house and the succession of reminiscences in which the speaker indulged kept them interested aud enthusiastic. Some of tha stories were pathetic and some humorous, and they were related in the mauner taat has made Chap laio MoCave famous for his power over au audience. Tae speaker concluded his address by singiog @ solo, the audience jolning in the chorus.

The church was thronged aud the audience gave Mrs. Clark and her daughter a hearty greeting, as both are favorably known 1o local people familiar with church choir singers. Mr. Roney is the organist of Chicago's Grace Episcopal church. IHe, us well as the ladies, was accorded a hearty welcome, and bis overture was Kossini's *‘Somiramide.” His other selections from the most renowaed composers were well rendered from a musical standpoint aud were received with much ap- probation, Mrs. Clark pleased - the audience on ac- count of her acquaintance with it more than auything elso, for she does not possess the rich, clear soprano voice that is essential for road or public success, Among her selections most favorably received was “Sleep, Baby of Mine.” It was admiravly rendered aud she got an encore.
