FAPERS KEAD AT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING—UNRE- STRICTED LEGISLATION—THR SALOON AND ULTRA- WONTANISM — DISTINGUISHED DIVINES TALK OF QUESTIONS OF THE DAY. Prof. Hjalmae Hjorth Boyesen, tn his address on Imufgration,” before the general Christian con- ference at the Congregational church yesterday afternoon, said, unless some restrictive measure 1s passed bY Congress the national destiny may De Seriousiy affected. The immigrant of to-day 1s different from the immigrant of thirty years ago. He is more largely drawn from the lower stratum of European society. More than this, millions come over now where thousands only used tocome. ‘The prolific foreigner 1s gaining upon the native. Tn this fact 18 an ominous augury for the republic. SUll more dangerous 13 the recent deterioration of quality tm the immigrant. Mr, Boyesen eritictsed what hecailed the sublime Dut fatal optimisin of a race that has never been confronted with serious problems. Mr. Boyesen foretold the evils of unrestricted emigration, and jctured the suffering and evil which must resuit irom the incoming of five men where only one ‘Was needed. ‘The country cannot assimilate such acrowd. He described the growing discontent among the emigrants, who, until now, had lived happy and peaceful lives tn the West and North- West, and found in this fact a signal of danger. ‘Rererring to his own case he said that _he had ex- erted all his influence to make his countrymen here good American citizens. Kev. L. F. Baldwin, of Boston, in discussing Prot, Boyesen's paper, said that restriction to immi- xration had comihenced at the wrong end; it had commenced at the Goiden Gate when 1t should have commenced at Sandy Hook. The peaceful ‘Chinaman was kep' out of the country, while the lawless anarchist was admitted. Immigration legislation should be based on Christian principles. President Merrill E. Gates, LL. D., of Rutgers’ College, a young-looking college president, read the second paper of the after- noon. His topic was “The Misuse of Wealth.” Among social forces, Dr. Gates ‘said, weaith has a pre-eminent interest for us, because it fs the meet tug place of labor and power. The far-reachi power of wealth for go BP xnd tor evil becomes more and more evident as #0- clety becomes more com- plex. The noblest men of wealth are beginning to DR. MERRILL B. GATES. recognize the truth that ‘wealth lays the heaviest possible obligation on 1ts owner to make his unselfish service of the highest ‘welfare of his fellow-men reach out as widely 23 his wealth can extend that service. Never were we so rich as We sre today, ‘and yet there are grave doubts, on all as to whether we are gaining soctally, politically, morally, in these prosperous Years. ‘The deepesi-seated danger in tts use 1s the tendency to regard it asin ttself an end, not as a means for obtaining nobler ends. ‘The most dan- gerous misuse of wealth 4s using tt merely to get more wealth, Few men who enter the race for *h escape from the service of mammon to the noble service of God. Gaging at gain Diinds men to moral destruction. ‘The speaker spoke of What he called the “hypnotizing” power of gold. This perversion of all the powers of the man to ~ ‘winntag accounts for much of what we call t “grosé-matertalism” of our land and of our time. From this blinding effect of devotion to money- Ketting foliow a host of misuses of wealtn. The Fight use of wealth does not le in indiscriminate alms-giving. Weaith must be used for service ac cording to its own laws. Wealth fs under obliga- tion steadily to reproduce morality, inte and skill. Wheo itis used only to su in Iuxurious ease, clearly it falls to alse ‘this ‘obligation. If you have inherited wealth, let the Ume and labor involved in the rolling up of a for- Tune be evolved in days and years of active, philanthropic, and Christian work, done by work- ‘ers whom your money supports in teaching, in Preaching, and in mission feids. Following Dr. G came 8 paper on “Es rangement from the Church,” by Bishop J. F. Hurst, "D. D. LL. D.. of Buffalo. “Bishop Hurst ‘said that the Protestant cuurcbes had never butlt their churches as if they expected any one but themselves, their proper- ly-benaved neighbors and the commercial.y-profita- bie stranger were expec €d to worship in them, ‘Most men would ratuer ‘Stay at home than go to the untuviting church, and then there was the Sunday paper, the peru- sal of which could not be Ralshed in time for BISHOF BURST. ehureh.

Meén are beginning to be convinced that the heathen world will eventually be converted to the God; put ‘World will « re convinced that the Christian Dr. Arthur T. Pierson, of Philadelphia, delivered an address on the same subject as that treated of in Bishop Hurst's paper.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION, the War Scare a Result of Prince Bismarck’s Diplomacy? ‘The Vienna Political Correspondence semi-of- cially denies a report that the powers interested have offictally sent # note to Russia in reference to ‘the increased force of troopson the frontiers. The Paper says the Austrian frontier guards will be completely organized and their numbers increased. Tt adds that the Russian censor bas suppressed all telegrams sent to Russia in reference to the Frem- denblatt’s article concerning Russla’s action. ‘The opinion is very general in Vienna that the German press exaggerates the importance of the military movements in Russia in order to disguise Prince Bismarck’s diplomacy, the chief object of which is supposed to be the removal of the czar from the influence of those who desire to estrange Germany and Russia. The course of the German Press.s.considered to be a dangerous one, in the event of Bismarck failing in his purpose, 1 will increase the tension of the situation. It is owing more to a ible failure on the part of Bismarck than to the massing of Russian troops that Austrian military precaution may be neces- sary.

On the ae & diplo- matic solution of the problem ts favored, while on ‘the other military measures are believed to be Powers, eapectaliy pon Austria, With AUSIIS Ww pon Austria, Femains the choice tevween a serious confilct ana the acceptance of a settlement agreeable to Rus- sia.” ONE EXPLANATION OF THE SITUATION. A London dispatch says: The complications which have arisen ‘between Austria and Russia are becoming more and more dificult of solution and are undoubtedly the outcome of the recent in- terview in Berlin between Prince Bismarck and the czar. Notwithst the assertions of the German press that none of the pubilcations pur- Porting to state the substance of that interview 1s, correct in a single particular, suspicion has arisen from the tenor of the recent official nce by mail and by telegraph, from the. information obtained by several rellable correspondents, and from the tone of the various continental bourses, that the czar quitted the German capital in & towering rage, fomented by the aggreaivenest of the fron chancellor, A correspondent gives the following version of what occurred between Bis- marck and the imperial visitor, which is believed, in view of Subsequent events, to be substantially correct: The czar demanded the abrogation of the new triple aliiance between Germany, Austria, and Italy, accompanying his demand with an out- spoken dénunciauon of ‘the compact as not only an exuibition of bad faith, but of positive menace to Russia, Prince Bismarck flatly refused to rupture the new agreement, and the czar with- drew. “Russia now hopes to crush Bulgaria, and ‘Will attempt it by force of arms if diplomacy or menace falls, and this is her sole object in mass! troops on Gullcia, a movement wuich was 8! denly and vastly accelerated immediately after the czar’s return to Gatschina. A great deal of in- terest 1s centered upon the result of to-morrow's Ampertal and military conference at Vienna, Which Will deflnitely decidé Austria’s position, but single. handed Austria would have no better chance of success against Russia than she had in her mem- orable attempt to chastise Prussia, sos — For a Governmeut Telegraph, MR. POWDERLY ATTACKS THE WESTERN UNION MONOPOLY AND FAVORS GOVERNMENT CONTROL. The third in the series of letters addressed by General Master Workman Powderly to the Knights of Labor is published in the latest tssue of the Journal of United Labor, and 13 confined to an attack on the Western Union Telegraph monopoly, With @ recommendation that the United States Government should control all telegraph lines. ‘The several plans are thus alluded to: It is as- serted by some that the best_means of solving the problem Is to lease existing lines and operate them in connection with the Post-Oftice for a given number of years, in order that the question of Government control may be tested in tinat way. Others claim that the Government should pur- chase the telegraph lines now 1n operation under the right of eminent domain. He argues that if the Government can s0 successfully operate the ‘slow method of transporting dispatches by the use Of the maii-bag, It could carry the same message in. amore rapid manner, a8 it has been demonstrated that the Government can manage the malls of the country much better and in a more economical Way than an individual or a corporation. ‘The letter ridicules the argument that the estab- Ushment of the Government system would be a new channel for party influences, He concludes as follows: “Ifa trouble of any kind exists between an employer and his employes, and it becomes necessary to create publie opinion for the employ- er’s side of the argument, the wires of the present system of telegraphy will be found to answer the Purpose adinirably. Every item of news that will Iniitate against the interest of the masses and operate to the Welfare of monopoly, 1s surpreséed, Correct news, prompt service, cheap rates, and loyalty to the interests of tue ‘people will charac- terize the Workings of a system of telegraphy of which the the Government has control.” — 0° She Saw Her Husband Drowni RISING FROM A SICK BRD, SHE TRIED TO SAVE HIM, BUT ‘WAS TOO LATE. A New York World special trom Ottawa, Decem- ber 6, says: John Benoit, of North Bay, who had been absent from home at Bonstee!’s Point, staried toreturn on ihursday last, but when within 100 Yards of the shore where his hut stands, he found thick ice, which prevented his going ahead with his bark canoe. With an axe he began cutting a channel, but had not proceeded far When the axe fell from his hand into the water. He then started to craw! on bands and knees toward the shore, but broke through the tee. When 20 feet from the shore he became exhausted. From a sick bed in the hut his wife had witnessed his struggles through a window, and unable to contain herse.t longer rushed out Of We house in her night clothes, without shoes or stockings, on to the Ice and res- cued him, He was unconscious, and for over three hours she endeavored to keep him alive by rubbiug and keeping his body Warin, in the hope that help would come, but he died at 11 o'clock at night. Seeing that iife was extinct, she started with Ube Youngest child in her arms for the nearest neigh- bor's, 5 miles distant, where help was secured, Mrs. Benolt was badiy frozen and 1s now in a crit ical condition. ‘Several Umes during her journey Uhrough the woods she lay down in the snow, feel- ing unable to go farther. ~ soe let Will Form a Cabinet. M. Goblet has been summoned by President Sadi-Carnot to form a cabinet, and has agreed to do so. The president requested M. Fallleres to form a cabinet, but M. Fallleres declined on the ground of ill-health and a lack of sufficient au- thority. M. Clemencaeu, in his interview with Presi-ient Sadi-Carnot, said in relation to the for- mation of a cabinet: “Whenever the radicals are shown a reforming minister they are willing to make great sacrifices to support him.” President Sadi-Carnot has been installed in the Elysee Pal- ace. a ee BaLoTING FoR A Bisuor 1m DeLaware.—The Protestant Episcopal Convention of the Diocese of Delaware met yesterday to elect a successor to ‘the late Bishop Alfred Lee.
