30 CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 189 up the point that they were only asking the Bishops to do what was done by the President of the United States. Delegate Biddle of Pennsylvania again thought that as this safeguard has been in the constitu- tion since the foundation of the church it should be continued. There should be a large number of amendments, which he hoped would be, thrown out of the house with indignation. Dr. Fulton of Philadelphia, who has been counted a strong opponent of the re- vision, and whose church paper has given place to the most vigorous and sarcastic criticism that has been published, sur- prised his friends by opposing Dr. Wilder’s amendment on the ground that the depu- ties could not force the Bishops to sit with open doors. “Moreover,”” he said, “I do not doubt but what there are sometimes lively times in the Bishops’ sessions, just as we have in our own, and it would not be decent or proper to have this heralded in the news- papers.” ‘When the House of Deputiesicommenced its work this morning, Dr, Morgan Dix, as chairman, announced the appointment of Rev. Dr. Stone of Chicagc, Rev. Dr. Brew- ster of Long Island, Rev. Dr. Lawrence of Massachusetts and Judge Fairbanks of Florida a committee to fill vacancies on the committee on church unity. Then Rev. Dr. Glazebrook of New Jersey renewed theresolution, defeated last night, that the house suspend its business for the day in order to attend the mass-meeting at eum Theater. For this meeting ry of State Foster had come from ton by invitation, it is understood, of some of the Bishops, and the arrange- ments for the gathering had been made by a joint local and convention committee. Rev. Dr. Nichols of Minnesota said that there had been nu understanding that the house adjourn, and when a division had been challenged so large a majority voted | against adjournment that the “ayes” were | not counted. Some of the leading delegates afterward | explained to the United Press that no slight to the ex-Secretary was intended, but so much business was on hand that every hour was valuable. The committee on new dioceses then re- ported in favor of the diocese of California, Maryland and Kentucky and the creation of new sees, and the report was adopted. Dr. Ward of Kentucky made a plea for the bolding of the next convention at Louisville, and it was referred to the ap- propriate committee. At this point the | committee in response to an urgent appeal from the general secretary of the Board of | Missions, sent by a deputation from the | Lyceum, rose by a vote of 157 to 117, and the house adjourned. i As the deputies were dispersing a resola- tion of greeting from the Methodist con- ference now in session and indorsing fraternity and good-will between denomi- nations in the interest of Christian unity | was read by Ur. Dix. There was no afternoon session of either house. —_—— ME. FOSTER'S ADDRESS. An Interesting Review of the Work of Foreign Missions. MINNEAPOLIS, Mixy., Oct. 5. — The | Lyceum Theater was packed in response toa call for a mass-meeting in behalf of the missionary movement of the Episco- pal church. Upon the stage was seated members of the House of Bishops, which | body had adjourned forihe purpose imme- | diately upon organizing in order to mani- fest 1ts sympathy with the movement. The opening hour was occupied with brief ad- dresses from missionary Bishops from China, Japan and Africa. ° Ex-Secretary of State Foster was given a cordial reception. His address was an epitome of Mr. Foster's observations dur- ing a tour around the world made last year, in which he visited the Holy Land and Syria, Egypt, Ceylon, India, Burmah, the British Siraits Settlements and the Malay Peninsula, Tonquin, China, Corea | and Japan, as well, as his recent visit to Japan and China in connection with the | peace negotiations between those two na- tions. In these journeys Mr. Foster made it a point to inquire into the work of the Christian missionaries, and also gathered the testimony of the official and non-mis- sion elements of the various places visited. | The work in the Turkish empire was surrounded by uvnusual embarrassments and slow progress had been made in reach- | ing the Moslem population, but some suec- | cess had been noted. After a hasty glance | at Egypt and Ceylon a considerable por- | tion of the address was devoted to India, a country which the speaker described as one of the most interesting and important, both to the tourist and the student of the social problems of the human race. Christianity bad here to contend with one of the oldest, most intelleetual and bestor- ganized religions in the world—Brahmin- ism. Itsprogress had been slow when itsad- herents were compared with the vast popu- lation of India, which numbers near 300,- ©00,000, and bas increased 100,000,000 since | the advent of the missionaries. But at the end of the hundred years, which had elapsed since the first mission- ary landed in India, more converts were gathered in the churches of that country than at the end of the first century of the Christian era throughout the whole world. Credit was given the missionaries as the direct cause of all the moral reforms which have been brought about by the British Government. While that Government sought to be impartial in its administra- tions of religious affairs its indirect in- fluence was on the side of Christiauity. The missionary and the Government com- bined were slowly but surely undermining the old faith and superstitions of the people and bringing India to a great so- cial crisis. In discussing the mission work in China reference was made to the late war with Japan, and the belief was expressed that its ultimate effect would be the greater opening up of the country to the mission- aries, and that while in the present and immediate future disorder and riots might be expected, the country would resume its normal condition with greatly increaséd facilities for Christian evangelization. Reference was made ‘to the exercises at- tending the opening of the new building of 8t. John's Episcopal Church in Febru- ary last, at which Mr. Foster was present, and which he described as a most interest- ing and notable event, attended by the native Chinese aristocracy and high of- ficials of the province. In thiy connection the educational and medical work of the missionaries was highly commended. No backward step should be taken in China, as the speaker regarded it as the most hopeful field for mission effort to-day in the world, notwithstanding the present disturbed condition of the country. Christianity had made considerable progress in Japan, but it had not kept pace with the other elements of Western civ- ilization. Its partial failare in this re- spect was attributed to the opposition or indifference of nominally Christian people whom the Japanese were brought in con- tact with in commercial and official life. An encouraging feature of the missionary movement in that country is that it has reached a much larger proportion of the higher and influential classes than in any othercountry in Asia. Japanese patriotism, greatly heightened by the result of the late war, had a tendency to lead the mis- sion converts to set up a national church of a kind of Japanese Christianity, and they were restless under the restraints of foreign control; but the Japanese Chris- tians were an earnest and sincere body of believers, and the apparent friction would donbtless pass away. While the review of the mission field is mainly devoted to the labors of the Protes- tant churches, high praise was given to the Roman Catholic missionaries, whose de- votion and success were fully recognized. The summing up of Mr. Foster’s obser- vations on foreign missions was highly favorable to the prosecution of the work by the churches in America. Practically the whole world was open to the mission- ary, the various mission boards were better equipped than ever for doing effective work, the schools and colleges established in heathen lands could turn eut all the na- tive workers that the liberality of the churches at home could support, and the great need of the Christian cause to-day Was not 0 much men as money to carry to success the Christianization of the world. MAJOR HUDSOX EXPLAINED. So the Libel Suit of Judge Foster Was Dismissed. ATCHISON, Kaxs., Oct. 5.—The Foster- Hudson libel suit came to an abrupt close in the District Court here this afternoon, Major Hudson explaining, through his at- torney, that his publication in the Topeka Capital was not intended to reflect on Judge Foster’s integrity as a man or a Judge, etc. Judge Foster has accepted the explanation, and the libel suit was dis- missed by Judge Webb. This action was brought about by friends of Judge Foster and Major Hudson, who have been working at a_compromise for some time. The suit in Topeka will also be dismissed. COMING O CALIFORNIA Chief Justice Baker of Ari- zona Will Soon Resign. It Is His Intention to Make Los Angeles or This City His Future Home. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5—A. C. Bsker, Chief Justice of Arizona, is to be- come a citizen of Los Angeles, should he conclude not to move to San Francisco. He has informed the department that he will soon send in his resignation as Chief Justice of Arizona. The officials of the Department of Justice are not inclined to explain how itis that Baker contemplates such a rash act. It is understood that there is some friction be- tween the department and the Judge, and this isat the bottom of the trouble. In the meantime Baker explains shat he is getting $3000 a year from the Govern- ment, and while he has been getting $1000 a year from the Territory that was cut off by the last Legislature, and now it happens that he is working on a $3000 salary instead of a $4000. It is also under- stood that there was some trouble between Governor Hughes and the Judge. The fight to get Hughes out has so far been cf no avail, for the reason, as is well known. that Hughes’ salary is used in running a goldbug paper in Arizona, which is some- thing in the nature of a freak in that country. As Hughes appears likely to re- main 1n office, it is understood that this have entered into his calculations leading to his proposed resignation. . { IN BEHALF OF CUBA. Appeal Made in Chicago for Meetings AUl Over the Union. CHICAGO, I1L., Oct. 5—The following appeal to the people of the United States in behalf of Cuba hasbeen issued by the committee selected for that purpose atlast | Monday’s mass-meeting. ; “The committee appointed by, the Chicago mass-meeting of September 30 held to express sympathy with the Cubans, earnestly appeal to their fellow-citizens | throughout the Union to call simiilar meet- | ings not later than October 31 and wher- ever practicable to be held on that night, in order that the movement may derive the benefit of such simultaneous action as adding to its impressiveness. Already announcements are made of meetings projected in this behalf throughout the country, originating generally with the | citizens who suggest such calls to be made by the Mayors of their respective locali- | ties, which is a convenientand appropriate method. “Leta deaf ear be turned to the selfish argument that we are in no wise interested in the issue of the present conflict | between Spain and Cuba, and that the issue itself being involved in doubt we should abstain from any interference. The cause of liberty is involved, in which, as directly affecting our near island neighbor, all liberty loving Americans should be interested, extending at least the moral aid of their svmpathy aud the encouragement to the struggling Cubans and leaving the consequences to the supreme ruler o%nutiom." KEY WEST, Fra., Oct. 5.—Passengers by the Mascotte to-night reportan upris- ing at Laguira, about tén leagues from Havana, Theinsurgents during the early vart of the week captured the town of Santa Clara without resistance. * Itis reported in Havana that the war- ship Infanta Isabella ran aground off Baya Honda while on her way to the Colorado Reef to relieve. the ship Cristobal Colon. The ship Conde de Venadito's machinery is reported to be in bad condition. Fifty thousand troops with two generals in command are expected to arrive at Ha- vana during the coming week. | sl e WALLER’'S TRIAL UNFAIR. That Is the Assertion Made by a Man From Madagascar. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—Ethelbert Woodford, an American citizen, who was in Madagascar at the trial of ex-Consul Waller before a French military tribunal, arrived yesterday on the Cunard steam- ship Lucania. He was unwilling to tell all that he knows about the case unless the adminis- tration refused to act on it. Then he inti- mated he would have a story to tell. He ‘ii.e_dned that the trial of Waller was un- ir. *“The French thought,” he said, “that because Waller was a negro he might be sacrificed, and that the United States Government would not protest.” Wood- ford is going to lay the case before Secre- tary Olney.

OPPOSITION TO TAMMANY Politically Speaking, Thomas B. Reed Is Yet in the Woods. GENERAL® MILES' POPULARITY. Soclety Circles of the Metropolis Stirred by the Approaching Van- derbilt Wedding. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 5—The po- litical situation in this city may be summed up as follows: Ex-Senator Platt is striving to make the best possible terms for him- self and the Republican organization in the composition of an anti-Tammany ticket, but the movement for union has gained headway in spite of the opposition of Oswald Ottendorfer, and 1n spite of the protest of several prominent Republican machine leaders. Republican leaders have suggested to the German-Americans their willingness to declare for a referendum on excise in New York City and to State Dem- ocrats and to Steckler Democrats their | willingness to grant two or even three judicial candidates. These overtures have been well received. The Chamber of Commerce completed its committee of fifty, and will appoint sub-committees at noon to-day. The Republican nominating committee met at 2 p. M. to-day and received a com- mittee from the Chamber of Commerce to discuss candidates. The State Demacracy appointed a conference committee—one from each Assembly district and fifteen at large—including William R. Grace, Oswald Ottendorfer, Wheeler H. Peckham, Peter D. Olney,William B. Hornblower and Bob- ert Grier Monroe. The Good Government clubs met and adjourned till Tuesday with- out completing their ticket. The executive committee named a committee to confer on a union ticket. It looked bright for Democratic harmony in Kings County at 1 o'clock this morning. After a day of conferring and caucusing the Democrats had agreed to accept J. Warren Greene and John A. Taylor, both Shepardites, for Mayor and Justice of the Supreme Court respectively. The only condition was that to the regulars must be given the nominee for District Attorney. They presented Frank B, Hurd Jr. for this place. A prominent daily says: Politically speaking, Thomas Brackett Reed is still in the woods, but not so far away asto be beyond telegraphic and mail communica- tion with the political centers. Just at present Mr. Reed’s strength is growing to proportions alarming to his opponents, and although he is in the woods he knows it. The managers of his campaign are Joseph H. Marley (one of the Republican National Commuittee’s big four), Senator Henry Oabot Lodge, W. Murray Crane (National Committeeman from Massa- chusetts) and James Phillips Jr. of Fitch- burg. The result of their labor is most apparent in Pennsylvania, which has swung from McKinley into the Reed column. Thomas C. Platt and Manley have long had an understanding that New York’s second choice should he Reed, and as con- ditions are at present ex-Speaker Reed will probably go into the National Convention assured of the support of Pennsylvania, and of New York aiter Morton’s chances are gone. While the Reed men contend that they are making inroads into Mec- Kinley’s following in the South they will not make any estimates of strength, be- cause they know that Reed has got to placate and harmonize the Republican factions in the Fifty-fourth Congress be- fore he can safely lay claim to any actual strength outside of New England. Major-General Nelson A. Miles, the néw commander of the United States army, is decidedly the reigning celebrity of the day. ‘Whatever may have been the motive actu- ating the appointment of so steadfast a Republicah by a Democratic President, the appointment itself 1s universally popular. One reason why it is so i3 that General Miles is not &« West Pointer. Deep down in the popular heart there is and always has been a curious and irrational jealousy and mistrust of West Point. The root of it is perhaps away down in the subsoil of American freedom, and is traceable to the ancient prejudice against a standingarmy. The popular preference for the citizen soldier as distinguished from the profes- sional soldier is gratified by the promotion of General Miles, who was one of the vol- unteers of 1861. It is the first recognition of the kind that has been extended to any of the great volunteer commanders who served in the mighty conflict that kept the Union intact. Colonel Albert A. Pope, in a speech in- troducing General Miles as the orator of Memorial day in Boston last May, gave an interesting recital of his remarkable prog- ress from the position of a clerk in a Boston crockery-store in 1861 to the highest mili- tary rank in the country, and told the fol- lowing anecdote of him: “It was av Chancellorsville that General Hancock commanding the Second Corps, saw a small regiment holding 1n check a brigade of the enemy. Turning to a staff officer he inquired who was in command. Learning that it was the colonel of the Sixty-first New York he said, ‘Ride down there 2nd tell him he is worth his weight in gold.’ Sucha compliment from the major-general to the young colonel was an additional incentive to make him fight on until the task on hand was accomplished. ““Wounded three times he was being borne on a stretcher to the rear when Gen- eral Couch, the senior corps commander of the Army of the Potomac, who had watched his brilliant fight, looked down for a moment on his pale face, and then, turning, said to a junior major-general: ‘If that young man lives I predict that you and I will serve under him.” The remark was objected to, but his prophecy came trne.” Mrs. Ballington Booth lectured -on “The New Woman’’ in the Congregational church at Montclair, N. J.. last night. “The new woman in the newspapers and of the stage does not amount to any- thing,” declared Mre. Booth. “The new woman is a mockery. The true woman is one that stands by the side of man. The gmsent new woman is too mannish. Ten- lerness is unknown to her. She does not love children, and she does not go out to bless and help others. She speaks slight- ingly of marriage and home; she speaks lllshfi:l&}y of religion and goes forth to find a religion of her own. “Let me be understood. I am not throw- ing stones at the wearers of bloomers. This mock man is inconsistent. She only takos a part of man’s dress. She should cut off the high heels that cripple her toes. I would take her clothes and make them over for the women of the slums. Her sleeves would make dresses for poor children. We will take the chewing-gum and the novels of the new woman and burn them, and the Salvation Army would show her the ruined homes of the wealthy and the poor. “If women are allowed to stand on the stage in the new woman's costume and have flowers thrown at them, why should not the advanced woman stand on the platform and preach and not be perse- cuted? There are many who try to hinder the advance of the advanced woman. Bhe should be a lawyer if she likes, but a woman lawyer. She should dress in the same dress that her mother wore. The new woman's mission is to make heaven in her home and all around her.” Frank Ives Thursday night gave a won- dertul exhibition of skill at balke-line bil- liards. In one run he scored between 700 and 800 points. Unfortunately an exact count was not made, and the total of tne break can only be approximated. One spectator counted 434 and then lost the count because he was impelled toaska friend if anybody had. ever before seen such marvelous billiards. 1ves said it was undoubtedly the largest run he had ever made at the balke line. The run com- bined almost every description of shot incident to balke-line billiards, and de- monstrated more conclusively than any- thing he has ever before done what a thor- ough master of the game the “Young Napoleon” is. Ives will remain in New York during this month. About the 1st of November he expects to sail for Europe with his friend and backer, A. J. Levy, who con- templates a tour around the world. India will be the champion’s objective point, an Indian Prince having extended him an in- vitation to visit Kapoortnella. There is some talk of bringing Vignaux to New York. Should Vignaux come Ives will defer his visit to India. *I will,” said he, “wait and try to arrange two matches with him for $2500 or $5000 a side each, he to name the table upon which one match shall be played and I to name the other.” The rumors anent the intentions of “Lucky” Baldwin with regard to racing in England were talked of ‘““betweeh heats'” at Gravesend yesterday, but at the stable of the California turfman it was positively stated that there was not nor ever had been any thought of any such move, and Mr. Baldwin himself positively denied ever having given the scheme of sending Rey del Careres across the ocean any seri- ous consideration. Though the date for the wedding of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marl- borough has not yet been decided upon the scene of the wedding will undoubtedly be St. Thomas Church, at Fiith avenue and Fifty-third street. St. Thomas has a larger seating capacity than any other Protestant Episcopai church in this city, and as the wedding guests will be numerous the fact that the churceh is of sufiicient size to accommodate them was its chief recommendation. Sey- eral members of the Vanderbilt family are vew-holders in St. Thomas Church. DERELICT MAIL CARRICRS, There Is Promise of a Lively Shaking Up in This City. Those Who Find Time to Visit Fam- ilies and Saloons Will Be Retired. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5—*There will be — to pay in San Francisco,” ob- served an official of the Postoffice Depart- ment to-day who has charge of the matter of spotting mail-carriers. ‘When we get there we will certainly find some of the boys eut of line and not doing their duty. 1 can tell the offices where the secret ser- vice is needed. Just this morning I re- ceived a letter from a business man in San Francisco n which he states that one man has delivered mail at his residence for some years and that he is getting veryslow. In fact, he states that the carrier is inclined to visit his family when he comes around with the mail. “We will fix it so in due time, after we get out there, that he will not visit long with that family or any other family. The other day I had another letter from: there, in which it was stated thata certain carrier spent at least a hali-hour every day in the back end of the saloon and counts tbis in time against the Government, and it is also a record of the office that that carrier has brought in'mail undelivered, claiming that he would have to remain out over time if he delivered it. ““That fellow ought to be ‘fired’ by wire at once upon the statement of the man who sends this letter, for it tallies with the record of the man who comes in withun- delivered mail on the claim that to deliver it would call for overtime.” It was observed, however, that the spotters would not get into the city for some time, despite tfie fact that Colonel Austin of the department was there some weeks lfllhd made arrangements for the work to be done at the office. it g Ly CONTROLLED BY NEWLANDS. The Ex-Californian Becoming a Street- Railway Magnate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5.—Francis G. Newlands has secured controlling. in- terest in the Washington and Georgetown cable line, also the Seventh-street cable line, by way of booming property on a suburbun electric line, which he also con- trols. The claim 1s made that he raised the 1aoney to do this while in New York recently and by making it l{zmable to his Wall-street friends, the silver interview with Newlands appeared, which later he denied in the CaLL. The value of the com- bined street and suburban railway p- ep&éxe now controls here is estimated at $5,000,000. b ey e General Mahone Dying. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

RALLY OF SOCIALISTS, Plans for the Opening of the Congress at Breslau. DELEGATES TO BE PAID. Four Women Admitted to the Gathering as Regular Representatives. RAPID GROWTH OF THE PARTY. Notwithstanding All Obstacles Mem- bers Now Cut a Wide Swath in Germany’s Politics. BERLIN, GermaNy, Oct. 5—The Con- gress of Social Democrats will meet in the hall of the Deutschen Kronprinz Hotel at Breslau to-morrow, when it is expected 250 delegates will be present. The party edi- tors, journalists and officials of the sccial- 1st party will also attend in full force in view of the intended attack upon their emoluments by some of the party leaders. The women delegates to the convention now number four. Berlin sends Frauen Hohrbach and Lutz, the latter being the daughter of Herr Liebknecht, one of the leaders of the Socialist party in the Reich- stag. Frau Geisser represents Breslau in the congress, and Stuttgart sends Frau Zelkin, editress of the Gleicheit. The del- egates who are members of the Reichstag will take a leading part in the delibera- tions of the congress. The foreign organizations will be more strongly represented than usual in this congress, especially in the presence of the prominent leaders of the international revolutionary movement in Austria, Hol- land, Belgium and France. Each dele- gate will receive the sum of nine marks each day in cash, with third-class railway fares paid. Including the cost of printing, the rent of the hall and other expenses the congress will cost the socialist party 290,000 marks, The Vorwaerts, the leading socialist organ, publishes to-day the so¢ialist com mittee’s report upon the progress of the party, which will be presented to the con- gress. The report states that party agita- tion has suffered from the general depres- sion of business and the consequent dearth of work and the fact that the employers eare keeping blacklists with a view to sup- pressing socialist workers by intimidation. Notwithstanding these obstacles, however, the report asserts the party is increasing in power in all of the German diets and municipal bodies, especially in the popu- lous centers. The party holds fourteen seats in the Bavarian Diet, fourteen in the Saxon Dtet, four in Saxe-Altenburg, three in Baden, three in Hesse, and one each in the diets of Saxe-Weimar, Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, Saxe-Meiningen, Reuss and Schwarzburg. The party continues to be weak in Prussia under the peculiar class conditions and the nature of the electoral system. The socialist press includes seventy-six political journals and fifty-three trades union papers. - The profits of the Vor- waerts for the last year were 55,500 marks, but the publication of the party’s leading weekly, the Social Demokrat, was stopped because it required an annual subsidy of 14,000 marks. The total rev- enue of the party for the year was 247,450 marks, and the expenditures 180,354 marks. The report treats the suggestion of an anti- revolution bill with scorn, and declares that socialism will thrive under the most furious assaults of its class enemies. The North German Gazette makes the statement that yesterday the Chinese authorities at Hankow signed with the German Consul £t that place a concession giving the right to Germany to establish a settlement at Hankow. Prince von Hohenlohe will resume his duties in the Chancellor’s office on Mon- day, and the Bundesrath will resume its sittings next week. Dr. Stoecker delivered a speech at the Christian Socialist mass-meeting in the T urn Halle in Berlin last night,ia order to clear himself of the charges against him, arising from his relations with Baron von Hammerstein, the absconding editor- in-chief of the Kreuz Zeitung. The director’s audience was thoroughly in sympathy with him, and when Herr Boeckel, an anti-Semite member of the Reichstag, rose in the body of the hall to make an attack on the speaker, he was promptly ejected from the place and was not heard of afterward. Atter the meet- ing Stoecker left the hall surrounded by fifty of his adherents. A pathetic scene was witnessed in the civil court here on Tuesday. The marriage of the distinguished musical artists, Eugene Albert and Teresa Carreno, was dissolved on the application of the wile, on the ground that her husband had de- serted her. When the decree was announced the di- vorced woman cried bitterly, and the hus- band was similarly affected. They were finally led weeping from the court by their respective counsel, going out by different doors. s The Dresden and Leipsic newspapers are criticizing the behavior of English and American visitors generally. Their criti- cisms are provoked by the occurrence of a squabble on board a railway train retorn- ing to Dresden from the Nider Seidletz playground a few days ago. A foreign lady in one of the cars complained of the Germans smoking. Some of the Ameri- cans in the car tried to persuade the Ger- mans to stop smoking, but as they were in the smoking compartment, they would not stop. The Americans then gave the Germans a good punching. Consequently English and American manners are de- clared by the press to be deplorable. Seigfried Wagner, son ot the composer, is betrothed to the daughter of a Munich brewer. The marriage will take place at Bayreuth in the spring. CLOSES ALL LITIGATION, Final Settlement of the Extended Whisky Trust Controversy. CHICAGO, IrL, Oct. 5.—Judge Sho- walter, in the United States Circuit Court to-day, entered an order which effectually reconciles the contending factions of the whisky trust, and puts an end to all litiga- tion in connection therewith. This is the order which has been for some time pend- ing, and which was asked for by both par- ties to the controversy. Thc order is a ratification of an agreement made between Greenhut and Morris on the one hand and the reorganization committee of the whisky trust on the other. This agreement is drawn up in the shape of a contract. 5 rding to it, Receiver McNulta dis- m all suits but one against Greenhut agrees 10 pay them the sum of $100,000in cash and $500,000 in bonds of the sAmeriv:nn Spirits Manufacturing Company, the successor of the old com- pany. In consideration of this Greenhut and Morris are to abandon. the §600,000 of claims on the cattle feeding contract with the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Com- any, and are to deliver $875,000 of the gonds of the old company at 55 cents on the dollar, less $20, This $20,000 is sup- posed to represent a portion of the interest on the bonds. Greenhut and Morris also ee to dismiss all suits against_the com- pany both in Chicago and New York. ity WHAT OLNEXY ASKED. Great Britain Not Given an Ultimatum as to Venezuela. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 6.—The Her- ald’s Washington special says: Secretary Olney and other officials of the State De- partment still maintain a diplomatic silence on the subject of the Venezuelan question, but the little information which can be had all goes to confirm everything said in these dispatches. There have been denials of the London dispatches that an ultimatum had been sent to Great Britain, It was distinctly stated that Mr. Olney had not demanded an answer within a specified time. Mr. Bayard was simply 1nstructed to obtaina reply to the distinct and firm statement of the position of the administration, if pos- sible, in time for the President to treat of the matter in his annual message to Congress. The Venezuelan question bids fair to overshadow all others during the next month in Washington, and the corre- spondence that will take place will be of the greatest importance as affecting the relations between the United States and Great Britain. MET DENTH N THE 0 Terrible Fate of an Engineer After a Wreck on the Hartford Road. One Brakeman Also Kllled and Three Passengers Serlously Injured. WOONSOCKET, R. L, Oct. 6.—South- bound train No. 1657, the fastest freight on the Worcester division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, ran through an open switch at Blackstone Junction this afternoon into a turntable pit, wrecking the engine, nine loaded cars and the turntable.

Hudson Medical Institute, Stockton, Market and Ellis streets—Gentlemen: Allow me to thank you most sincerely for the great benefit I have derived from your few months of treat- ment. When I first wrote to you I felt that life was barely worth living; but, thank God, through his help and yours, I am entirely cured. BeforeI began treatment I was sickly, weak and nervous. Ihad no energy; I also had a severe cough and was very much in fear of this, for with my failing strength I feared lung trouble. My mind was filled with all sorts of terrible forebodings and I was in a very deplorable condition of health. T placed myself in the hands of the doctors of the Hud- son Medical Institute. Iwad told it would re- quire four or five months to effect a cure, and I am now happy to say I am well. May God bless you. W. P. DILLMAN, Sacramento, Cal. e LS TR W e e .
