TRE NEW COUMISSIONER. A NEW DISIFRICT COMMISSIONER. Col. Robert Relieved and Capt. Rossell Ap- pointed. THE CHANGE MADE AT COL. ROBERT's RvqUEST ON ACCOUNT OF HIS HEALTU—WUAT THE RE- TIRING COMMISSIONER AND HIS SUCCESSOR BAID TO A STAR REPORTER. An order is being prepared at the War De- partment today relieving Col. Robert, corps of engineers, from duty as Engineer Cominissioner of the Dietrict of Columbir, and it is likely that in a few days thero will be a new member of the board. This action has been taken en- lurely at the request of Col. Robert himself, who has been in poor health ever since his pro- longed illness of several months ago. At is understood that the request for relief has been before Secretary Proctor for some days, but that action has been withheld until a suitable oficer of engineers could be found to take the colonel’s place at the District building. ‘The Secretary is anxious to make a selection that will be a credit to his administration of the War Department, so soon to end, and thus he has canvassed the corps pretty thorougi:ly in his search for a man of executive ability and good presence whose influence on the board would be for the best interests of the nd the country as well. He has consented to Col. Robert's relief re- luctantly, for he has been very well. pleased with his conduct of the affairs of his office, but it was made apparent to him that tho colonel’s health was being sacrificed by his continued attention to the vass number of de- tails of the work he had in ban 1. WHAT COL. ROBERT SAYS. Col. Robert did not seem surprised when a reporter of Tur Srar informed him that it was understood that he was about to be relieved. In reply to question for the facts in the case he said: “It would not be _proper in me as an army officer to say anything on the subject. All conversations between army officers and their superiors ehould be strictly confidential, and while [ do not deny the statement I do not teel at hverty either to afiirm or diseuss it. [ will say however, hat since I have been Engineer Commisioner I have done my utmost to divorce the en- gincer corps of the army from this local gov- ernment. {t hurts the corps in more ways than one. Many people are of the impression that the engineer oficers who are detailed here are those for which the government has no need. ‘This is a mistake, as I know the govern- mental works throughout the country are suffering for want of proper attention. An Engineer Commirtioner is not needed here.” THE TEXT OF THE ORDER. ‘The order relieving Col. Robert reads as fol- lows: “By direction of the President, Lieut. Col. Henry M. Robert, corps of engineers, is relieved from his duty a3 a Comunissiouer of the District of Columbis: and, iz contormity with the provisions of section two of the uct of Con- gress approved June 11, 1878, entitled “An act providing a permancat form of govern- meut for the Disirict of Columbia,” and joint resolution No. 7, tifty-tirst congress, sec- ond session, Capt.

Marshal Ransdell was one of the passengers on tie City of Paris, which arrived in New York yesterday morning, having as feliow passen- gers Allison Nailor, Stilson Hutchins and J. W. Boteler of this city. They were on the ocean irom September 20, and during the return voy- age there was rough weather with frequeut storms, and it was ail in all the roughest voy- age yet made by the ve-#l. ‘There were hun- dreds seasick and at times not a few were frightened. Capt. Ransdeli says that he docs not like to go into details for he has had enougi of a storm at sea and hopes when he again crow#es the water to have calier weather “We left,” says ae, “on Wednesday and bad a delightful tune till after leaving Queenstown. ‘Then the sen gradcaliy became rouguer aad on Sunday morning there was a gale of wind nd rain lasting about five hours, It became alin again, but on Tuesday a very severe storm broke over them = and the weather continued rough. = Then were hundreds sick and not a few frightened, but the officers bebaved witia tne greatest cool- neas and did al! they could to allay fears and prevent panic, and too much praise cannot given for the management of the crait. a THE CRUISE OF THE BEAR, Capt. Healy Brings Gack With Him Several Stberinn Reindeer. Capt. M. A. Healy, commanding the revenue steamer Dear, has made a report to the Treas- ury Department in regard to the recent cruise of that vessel in the Arctic ocean. * It is dated Unniaska, Alasks, September 17, and gives a Getailed account of the places’ visited and the services performed during bis two anda half montis’ cruise in the Arctic ocean. ‘The deer purchased were brought to Una- laska, where twelve will be kept by the Inter- ior Department until next year, while four that Capt.

ARTHUR'S PLEASANT AND APPROPRIATE STORY—A PLEA FOR THE MISSIONARIES. The noble gathering of men who are hero as delegates to the great ecumenical Methodist conference met at 10 o'clock this morning for the third diy of their deliberations. The in- terest in the conference broadens and deepens every day, and it may well be said that the eyes of the Methodist world everywhere are turned toward the Metropolitan M. E. church, “Christian Unity” was the general topic for the essay and the addresses at the morning session today, and the Kev. H. G. Marshall, president of the Methodist new connection, was presiding officer of the session, and occupied the handsome Weeley memorial chair. ‘As usual with this deliberative body, the pro- gram included an essay on the general topic tor discussion, followed by two briefer ad- dresses, one bya delegate from the western and one from the eastern section. The three papers today were by Rev. T. G. Selby of the Wesleyan Methodist church of Greenock, Scotland: Rew A. 8. Hunt, D. LONDON. esleyan Methodism.) the M.E. church of New York city, and Rev. Thomus Mitchell of the Primitive’ Methodist church of Hull, England. ‘The first hour of the session—that from 10 to 11 o'clock—was given to devotional exercises and to the transaction of whatever of routine and preliminary business there might be to come before the conference. All such business refers ditectiy to the sessions themselves and has no effect outside of the walls of the Met- ropolitan Church, ax the ecumenical confer- ence is a deliberative and not a legislative body. ‘The attendance today both of delegates and of spectators was rather larger than usual and the papers were listened to with the closest at- tention. ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED. The morning session was opened with the hymn, “Blest be the tie that binds,” and then Rev. James Le Huray of the Metho- dist New Connection church of Southport England, read the selection of Scriptures for the morning and an earnest prayer for blessing and a plenitude of the Holy it of God was deliverec by Kev. George Pucker of Halifax. At the conclusion of the devotional services Mr. Thomas Snape of Liverpool, one of the secretaries of the conterence, read the minutes of yesterday's sessions, and after some little discussion and a few’ corrections they were adopted. Rev. J. M. King prosenied anumber of resolutions and memorials which had passed the business. Among these was one nominating the presiding officers for the vari- ous sessions for several day# ehead. These were as follows: Second session, third day, Bishop Merrill of Chicago, M. E. church; firs? omen. Tourth day, Rev. Wm. Arthur of Lon- aon, Wesle; an Methodist church; first session, ishop J. W. Hood of Fayctteville, . M. E. Zion church; second ses- sion, fifth day, Rev. M. ‘T. Myers of Rochdale, England, United Methodist Free church; first session, sixth day, Bishop R. K. Hargrove of Nashville, Tenn... M.E. church south; second session, sixth doy, Rev. D. J. Walier, D.D., of London, secretary of the Wes- leyan Methodist conferees, CHRISTIAN. UNITY. The essay of Rev. S. G. Seiby on “Christian Unity” this morning was a very scholarly and rather solid effort that held the attention of the theologians among the delegates more REY. F. W. ROURNE, LONDON. (President of the Bible Christian Church and author of “Billy Bray.”) closely Gan it did that of the lay epectators. He referred to Methodists as the Quakers of the- ology. saying that where they had fought it hed been asa resuit of dire necessity and that Medhodism had produced comparatively few pugnacions writers who would force their ideas upon other churches. The church, he said rapidly approaching the time when there will be unity in all that is germinal to itself and he urged closer unity in the church. Metiodism could not become a great power in the evange- lization of the world until she closed the breaches in her own ranks. ‘The strongest condemnation that could he hurled at the subdivisions of the church is that one or ail is wandering away from the original doctrines of Johu Wesley. He urged his hear- # to aim at a doctrinal oneness and all things would be added to them. Especially was unity a necomity in the work in the missionary field. Dr. Hunt of the Methodist Episcopal ‘church was the next sperker, the time limit having been placed upon Mr. Selby just before ho had concluded his remarks. Dr. Hunt said in coma- mencing his address that it was well that one day had been devoted to the consideration of Methodism and the wonderful work that it had accomplished. Still they should humbie them- selves to the memory that all is uot as it should Le, and to pray that the future might be better than the past. ‘There is a distinct difference between union and unity. There can be no Christian union that does “not recognize. the fact that it grows up out of Christian unity. There may be unity between believers, still there is a unitt higher than that, which comes from the recognition that the unity of the church comes from o onenons with Christ. The supernatural does not end when we have found Christ a forgiving God. ‘ve must apprebend the unity of God and the | fact that we may dwell in Him, nity that we are likely sometimes to miss. God give us this grace.” UXIFOLMITY Not INTENDED. “Ido not believe that God intended in the beginning that there should be uniformity in Eis church.” said Rev. Thomas Mitchell of the Primitive Methodist church. who was the third speaker of the morning. REV. ALPREUS W. WILSON, P.D., BALTIMORE, MD. “Uniformity ig mechanical; unity is vital. Uniformity is the dream of the enthnsixst: Uuity is the wish and the prayer of the Christian of all time. Unity to be of ‘value at all mnst be the outcome of the life of the church and can never be brought about by any external methods. Such methods have always failed and always must fail. Lhope thatthe next ecumenical conference will see a great _ man; more Methodists in the world and agreat many less divisions of the Methocist church.” The speaker's arguments in favor of more unity in the church were freqnently inter- upted by applause and vigorcus cries of Hear, hear.” He spoke at length of the marked similarities existing between all branches of Methodism and the trivial differ ences that separate them. The differences, he said, were for the most part mere matters of ‘hurcl. polity, and in many cases of microscopic dimensions. hey might differ on questions of church government that were not of critical import- ance themselves while all preached the vitel, fundamental truth of the sx!vation of the soul through faith in a sanctified Savior. ‘Yo illustrate his point Mr. Mitchell told of a well-known divize in England who was asked What was the difterence between the Weel Methodist church and the Primitive Methoi church, “Well,” said the preacher, “the chief aiffer- ence, or at least one of the most important, is that the Werleyan Methodists ride to church while the Primitive Methodists usually walk. Mr. Mitchell closed his address with an elo- uent appeal for more apparent unity in the church. UNITY IN MISSIONARY Work. He was followed by Dr. Reed of the M. E. church south, who spoke on behalf of the missionaries of the church, asking for more unity in Methodist missionary work, pointing out fully and clearly the advantages that must ! accrue from a fuller and more organic uuion as well as the friction that now existe. in China more especially, wisere the missionaries repre- senting the different branches of the Methodist chureh work along different lines, mueh as though they had nothing in common whatever, A number of other speakers made brief sup- plementary remarks upon the question of Christian inity, pro and con, some taking the ground that Methodist denominationalism had . REV. W. J. DAWSOX, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND. worked a positive blessing to the church, while others maintained that organic union in the church was already iu sight. ‘There were loud cries for the venerable London preacher, Rev. Mr. Arthur, and in re- sponse he rose and spoke briefty. REV. MR. ARTHUR'S TALK. Rev. Mr. Arthur said he remembered Chas. H. Spurgeon as a young man and once heard something very unfavorable to that promising young man, Mr. Arthur suidat the time the an was in his opinion the right man and one who would do a great work in his Master's name. “Eh,” said a Baptist minister, “if you could only hear him anathematize’ your Armen- would rather bave'a man who would’ anathe- matize my Armenianism than a man who would be afraid to anather: know that he has we nor Tin my Armeni i y illustrate my id unity . Ithink that the greatest exemy of unity bas been the search after uniferwity. “T remember that a ;reat divine in England was once asked whethcr he would not be gind to preach in Lincoin Cxthedral. “To preach in Lincoln Cathedral? said he. ‘Aye, that I would, and I would be giad to preach in a wheelbarrow.’ “This bears upon my idea of uniformity,” said Mr. Arthur, “and let me tell you now that unity can never be forced upon the Methodist church from outside. If 1 comes it must be as an organi development, bat Ido not know that di-versities are of material account when the substance is the same. ‘Unity cannot be forced upon us. You can lead a Methodist, bui ou can never drive,espe- cially if he hears the crack of the lash above his head.” REY. W. W.
