He reviewed at length the depressed condition of the wool industry in this country, attributing It entirely to the action of the Wilson tariff law, which al- lows the importation of wool free of duty. The association will advocate the re-enact- Ment of the McKinley tariff act, and will memorialize Congress to this effect. THE ONE GOOD THING What the President Said-on-the Venezuelan Question. LORD SALISBOURY'S REPLY AWAITED A Suggestion if Further Diplomacy is Required. SUSPICION OF BAYARD —— The one thoroughly satisfactory feature of the President's message is the reference in {t to the dispvte between Great Britain and Venezuela. That is approved by dem- ocrats and republicans alike, and if the full text of his July rote shail realize the ex- pectations that have now been awakened, the President will find himself in, for him, the novel attitude of touching shoulders with his countrymen about a foreign af- fair. The cable stotes that Lord Sulls- bury’s reply to the President should reach Washington today. Presumably, therefore, the correspondence will be promptly laid before Congress and then be given to the public. Interesting Speculations. And now begins a very interesting line of speculation. Does the length of time that has been consumed py Lord Salisbury | in formulating his reply indicate not only the difficulty of the question, but that fur- ther correspondence- is likely? He has taken six mon ke up his mind to scm hing, or to p decline to make up his mind to anyihing as the case row stands. Or can it be that, obeying his own judsment, or following a suggestion from another question, he has purposely jelayed his reply until the meeting of Con- gress? Recognizing the momentous nature | of the President's note, he may have de- cided that ooner ‘or later, Cot also would have something to say on the subject, it would be best to wait until he could engage Congress and the President together, and: ha out, as Gen. Grant eit — accustomed to do, on one concentrated ine. That time has come, and the line is form- } ed. Congress is in session and eager to| support the President in the position he has | but briefly outlined. There will be no di-j vision over here. The stiffer the July not may turn out to be, the better Congres i will ind mM ag th seems to be tween the executive and branches of the zoveram to meaning «f the Monroe doctrine, and a: the policy necessary to convey that mean- ing to foreign powers. An Accomplished Diplomat. But it is not forgotten, and it will not be forgotten, that in Lord Salisbury the Unit- ed States has to deal with the most complished living diplomat of the Eng speaking race. Eminent writers plac: in that fleld above even Lord Beaconsileld, who for a long tine he ted.

Should he be encouraged in a movement like that? .One note on t line would of course lead to another note, and so on during many months. Would it not be better to “decline that sort of | thing if offered, and make one good noite, , if that of July last shall not have sufficed, do the busine Many Senators and Rep- his w resentatives el this way, and in th's spirit are awaiting with far more than ordinary interest the publication of Lord | Salisbury’s reply Eustis and Bayard.

TODD TO GO ABROAD. Changes to Be Made at Hamline and Other M. E. Charches, Rev. Elbert S. Todd, D. D., pastor of Ham- Ine Methodist Episcopal Church, has been granted a long leave of absence by the offi- cial board of the congtégation, and will preach the last sermon he will deliver at Hamline Church as its pastor, unless he is called to the pastorate‘some years hence, on the last evening of the old year at the watch night service. Tae doctor has been in the ministry actively for more than twen- ty-five years, and he now feels that he is entitled to some rest and tecreation. He will leave the first week in January for Eu- rope, 2ud after spending some time in travel on the continent will then go to Egypt and the Holy Land, where he will spend the best part of his vacation, returning in about six months to this country. In March he would have had to sever hts cénnection with Hamline Church by reasomof the expiration of the limit in the Methodist Church, which allows ministers to serve in one charge only for five successive years. The vacant pulpit Will not be filled until the meeting of the conference in Baltimore dn the spring. Un- til that time, in order to hold together the membership of the church, which has one of the largest congregations in the city, a rember of ministers of national reputation have been engaged to fill the pulpit until the regular preacher is appointed. Among these are the Rev. H. L. Harmon, D. D., president of Drew Theological Seminary Rev. George Edward Reed, D. D., LL. D. resident of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., and Rev. C. B. Masden, D. D., of New Haven, Conn. As syon as Dr. Todd returns from his travels he will enter at once into the active ministry again, and expects to be appointed to a charge in this conference, either in this city or in Baltimore. _ For some months there has been a good deal of speculation going on amongst the local Methodists as to what action the an- nual conference, which meets in the early Fart of March, will take in filling the vacant pulpits in this city. Three will be vacant by reason of the expiration of the five-year limit, and two of them are among the larg- est Methodist churches in the city, namely, Hamline, Rev. E. 8. Todd, D. D.,’and M Kendree, Rev. L. T. Widerman, D. D. The other affected is Gorsuch, Rev. J. H. M. Lemon, pastor. In addition to these three there will be, it is thought, changes made in several other churche: -_—— Hotel Arrivals, _Shorelam—E. Sherman Fitch, New York; John 8. Caze, Mrs. F. C. Hitchcock, Maine.

An Effort Undertaken by the League of Press Clubs. The International League of Press Clubs, at its recent meeting in Atlanta, indorsed the movement inaugurated ‘by the Pennsyl- vania State Editorial Association to secure reforms in the libel laws of the country “in order that newspaper editors and publishers may have the ordinary protection given ordinary litigants.” The propositions ema- nating from the Pennsylvania association have been submitted to more than a score of state associations and received their ap- proval. The propositions made include many im- portant suggestions. It is declared that punitive damages should not be recovered in any civil action for libel, because they are a great temptation to perjury and in conflict with sound public policy. In this respect it is stated that the laws of most of the states largely discriminate against journalism as a class by permitting a re- covery of damages in excess of the amount actually, sustained. It is also proposed that no civ.l or criminal suit for libel should be maintained unless the plaintiff or prose- cutor notifies the publisher, editor or writer of the errors in the publication, and no con- viction should follow in a criminal suit and damages in a civil suit should be limited to the actual pecuniary loss sustained by the plaincff in case a full retraction shall be promptly made as conspicuously as the al- leged libel was given. The enactment of equitable laws to protect successful de- fendants in newspaper libel suits of a purely speculative and vexatious character against the heavy expense, costs and fees necessarily incurred is demanded. Other excellent suggestions are made, and the propositions conclude with a declaration that just laws should be enacted in every state for the impartial trial of all cases, cluding libel, wherein political or personal passions or prejudices beccme involved, pro- viding for a change of venue when neces- sary and for the selection of special jurors when the honest administration of justice reasonably calls for it. gad ES AHEAD OF THE SCHEDULE. The Empire State Express Runs 440 Miles in 490 Minutes. The Empire State express reached Buf- falo,N.¥.,yesterday afternoon at 4:40 p.m., five minutes ahead of its new 3>hedule time, having, made the run from New York in eight hours and ten minutes, 440 miles in 490 minutes, or an average of nearly fifty- four miles an hour. The trip was made under favorable con- ditions as far as Batavia, where the train encountered a snow storm. Fearing that this might delay her again, the engineer let out a few more notches of the throttle. He had eighteen minutes in which to make the 10.67 miles between Grimesville and Buffalo, and he made it in thirteen minutes, arriving in Buffalo at 4:40 o'clock, five min- utes ahead of time. That was the only piece of road in the whole run where the train broke away from the schedule. Up the Hudson division she ran even to the minute, and was recorded exactly with the schedule at Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Bataviz There was no snow to speak of cast of Batavia.

Attempt to Enjoin Its Doing Business in New York. Recent rumors of an impending legal at- tack upon the American Sugar Reflning Company crystallized yesterday at New York, when papers were served upon Sec- retary John R. Searles in a suit to restrain the company from doing business in that state. Mr. John E. Parsons of counsel for the Aemican Sugar Refining Company said: “I have only glanced over the papers. They proceed upon the idea that the Amer- ican Sugar Refining Company is a combi- nation of the large number of previously existing corporations and individual sugar refiners; that this combination constitutes a monopoly and is in violation of law. There are further allegations, all for the purpose of establishing that the company is a monopoly.” —+0+ Testing the Howell Torpedo. A trial was made yesterday of the new eighteen-inch Howell torpedo at Civerton testing station for the edification of Com- modore W. Sampson, chief of the naval ordnance bureau. The trial proved satis- factory in every detail. Three true line shots were made and the projectile in each instance ran a hundred yards without stop- ping. The speed attained was thirty knots at 400 yards and twenty-eight at 600 yards, at which distance the target was placed. The charge was 200 pounds. The speed of the torpedo in use in the navy is twenty- five knots at 600 yard: Social Scientists Discuss Railronds.

Some of the Reasons Why Acetylene Will Supersede All Other Illuminants. 1. It fs the most brilliant and beautiful light ever discovered. of Washington gas per cuble foot. 2. It is a pure, white light, its rays being-almost identical with sunlight, showing ‘all colors perfectly. 3.*Its rays are diffused in excess of all other {lluminants, so that the actual light is far greater than above’ stated. "It literally reproduces sunlight. : . 4._Its combustion is perfect. There are no noxious products, no odor, and NO SMOKE.. The Vitiation of the air in a room compared with ordinary gas 1s as 1 to 6. 5. It produces @ distinctively cool fame, The same amount of light has only oné-sixth the heat of city .gas. * 6. Its COST fs far Jess than that of any known illuminant. versal materials, coal and Mme fused by electric heat. masses, It gives fifteen times the light 7. The cost of delivery and operation will be much less than under other systems. There will be no costly system of underground mains, no leakage, no expensive charters! 8. Evers householder in city or country can attach a cylinder of Liquefied gas ‘to his’ house pipes, change bis large burners to half-foot or one-foot burners and at once secure perfect. Ught..-No spe- cial knowledge or skilled labor is required, and there is no danger. : 9. It fs specially adapted to Light Houses, Buoys, Ships, Street and Railway Cars, Locomotives, Bicycles, Street Lamps, and has a thousand other uses, not only for, lighting,- but also for heat and power. 10.

It has the same dangers as ordinary city gas, but in lesser degree. 13. The entire apparatus is simple and inexpensive. All costly fixtures and buruers-for in- creasing the light or economizing the yas can be at on-e discarded. 14. SIMPLICITY, SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND LOW COST are guaranteed. Every tact above cited can be substantiated to the entire satisfaction of every unbiased mind. The above facts will explain— WHY the Chicago G: after several months of practical tests of acetylené, purchased the exclusive right to manufacture, use and vead calcium carbide and acetylene in the city of Chicago, WHY tie Equitable Gas Company, of New York, has purchased the same rights (not exclusive) in New York city. WHY the gas interests of Buffalo, Utica, Albany and other cities have secared similar rights for these localities. WHY the rights for Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Islard, Tlizois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, California, and other States have been ac- quired by capitalists after careful investigation. WIL, in the CITY OF WASHINGTON, shrewd and conservative investors have taken a large amount of the stock of the company organized here, with the certainty of realizing large profits.
