2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1895. MISSIONS OF ALASKA Their Condition to Be Considered by the Episcopalians. PRIMATE SECTION GOES. The House of Deputies Refuse to Strike Out That De- bated Clause. REVISION BEING CONSIDERED. Action on the Armenlan Outrages Asked by the Church of England. MINNEAPOLIS, Mixx.,, Oct. 10.—De- spite the fact that the Episcopal deputies have refused social invitations without number because they have on the calen- dar business enough to keep them in ses- sion for a month to come, while the con- vention must terminate on the 2Ist or thereabouts, they were afraid of in- curring the displeasure of the good people across the ) sippi, and so the transac- tion of business was dispensed with this afternoon and the visitors were driven about the sightly city by a committee of its citizens. To make up for lost time the houses of bishops and deputies met jointly at 8:30 to-night as the general missionary board of the church for the purpose of considering the condition of missions in Alaska. This morning’s session of the house was unrelieved by any interesting develop- ments save that the element which seeks to refer the revision of the constitution to a new commission received an inglorious backset at the very start by Dr. Morgan Dix refusing to recognize it as in order so long as the revision is before the house. A somewhat significant vote was that re- fusing to strike out section 3, the “Primate” section, concerning which there was so much debate yesterday, and a salient point was the refusal of the house to concur in that clause of the revision which reduces the representation in the House of Deputies from four clergymen and four deputies to three of each. The bishops also had sent down the same clause, but the deputies were not in favor of reduced representation, the bishops and the commission to the contrary notwith- standing. After the reaffirmation of the title “Primate’’ the house proceeded to the con- sideration of the reduction of section 4 re- ducing its own representation. Judge Bennett of Massachusetis wanted the brief paragraph cut up into five sections, but as one of the delegates expressed it, the com- mittee had no time to play with the con- stitution. Judge Fairbanks of Florida thought there were not too many delegates and might be more, while Judge Isaac Atwater of this city, who has attended every con- vention for thirty-two years, thought the delegation should be reduced because new dioceses were constantly coming 1n exist- ence and each general convention was therefore larger than its predecessors. ‘When the vote was taken Judge Fair- banks’ amendment was overwhelmingly carried. After this Judge Bennett sent up another amendment of the clause, lengthy in volume and almost uninteiligible, so much so that Dean Hoffman of New York mildly reproved the venerable New Eng- lander for taking up valuable time with mere sound and verbiage. The delegates were shouting for a vote when John 8. Biddle, the Philadelphia constitutional lawyer, and Dr. Alsopp of Long Island smilingly passed up substitutes which allowed representation of a diocese in a general convention by a deputy, canon- Ically but not actually a resident of the diocese. This meant the adoption of the English system of representation with residence, but before debate could be rein- augurated the committee rose. Messages were received from the House of Bishops during the day asking for a conference in the matter of a new diocese in Northern Michigan. Another message transmitted the Armenian resolutions which were the outcome of the me- morial of the clergy and laity of New York on the Armenian massacres. The message was as follows: ‘WHEREAS, The Armenian church, one of the most ancient communions in Christendom, is being subjected to a persecution of peculiar atrocity, involving the wholesale slaughter of men and the violacion of women; and whereas, those who survive these terrible persecutions are now perishing from disease, cold and hunger; and wheréas, in the New Testament times, as St. Paul tells us, the churches of Christendom contributed to relieve the neces- sities each of the other; Resolved, The House of Deputies concurring, that this convention commends to all those whom it In any wise represents, and to all Christian people, the prompt and energetic employment of whatever measures may con- tribute to the succor of this afflicted people, and especially such contributions as may re- lieve thelr sore necessities. Resolved, The House of Deputies concurring, that the authorities of the Church of England be respectinlly asked to take such action as will fitly commend the cause of the Armenian chureh to the whole English-speaking world. The house adopted the latter resolu- tion after a spirited debate, some delegates regarding it as unusual and remarkable and others contending that it asked the English church to take action which be- longed to the Government. The vote was 146 1o 92. In the House of Bishops this morning the Bishops of Long Island, Quincy and Maryland were designated a committee of conference concerning the creation of a diocese for Northern Michigan, there be- ing some errors in the papers which must be removed. The board of missions held the meeting adjourned from last Friday at Gethsemane Church to-night. After brief religious ser- vices the minutes of the adjourned meet- ing were read. Bishop Gilbert of- Minnesota introduced a resolution that the board to proceed elect a Bishop for Alaska. Bishop Rulison of Central Pennsylvania stated that there was no promise made or implied with any other church or man by this board not to send missionaries to Alaska. He knew that there would be op- position to sending a Bishop to Alaska, because of the smallness of the population there, but he was assured that there was a sufficient population to justify the sen ing of a Bishop to that far-away land. He closed by an appeal in behalf of the mis- sion that this work be taken up. ~ Bishop Neeley of Maine replied to the address of the Bishop of Central Pennsyl- vania. He said he was in full sympathy with the movement. Funds should be ex- pended where but few hundreds are now donated for missionary work. He referred to the fact that $12,000 had been. given to the missionary work in Alaska. This was out of all proportion to the amount ex- pended in other parts. “Think of it, §12,- 000 to Alaska,” he said, ‘‘and only $40,000 to the whole south. Although the Russian Government has sold to us the country, the church has not withdrawn its elergy or its efforts.” The speaker then gave facts and statis- tics showing how barren the field would be compared with the money it costs. There is a preacher of some kind in Alaska for every seventy of the people who live there. Was there any other spot on the habitable globe where they are so well supplied with religious teachers? Bishop Neeley asserted that while there may not have been a direct argument as to dividing the territory of Alasks among the different denominations, there cer- tainly was & tacit agreament to that effect. “There are 3192 people in the Yukon dis- trict,” he continued, ‘‘and there are eight missions in that district. This does look like unoccupied ground, does it?’ In the Lower Yukon the Greek priest claims 5000 enroiled members of his church. The census shows only 1200 people in the dis- trict. There has been no bishopric asked for by the Alaskans. There are missions there which it is our duty to care for, but there is no demand for a Bishop.” He pleaded for more money for the work in Japan, in South America, in the South- ern States and in dozens of other fields, and protested against pouring out the treasures of the church in a field so barren. “Let the Bishop of Olympia supply the field of Alaska,” said he. Bishop Tuttle of Missouri asked the board to remember that the American flag floats over Alaska, and where the Ameri- can flag floats there the American church should go. He took the ground that there should be a Bishop in Alaska. Dr. Christian of Newark believed that there had been too much money spent in Alaska. The money was outof proportion for the work, but this money should have been spent by a Bishop. Alaska needsand should have a Bishop, and the doctor was in favor of choosing one for that far-away district. Dean Hoffman of New York proceeded to score the Bishop of Maine for his charges against the Rev. Mr. Chapman, who has the church's work in charge in far-off Alaska. He correeted Bishop Nee- ley in his geography, having visited Alaska peraonally. He spoke strongly in favor of a Bishop in Alaska. That Terri- tory has the largest gold mine in the world. 1t has timber enough to supply the world. e Bishop Nelson of Georgia indorsed the position of Bishop Neeley. Bishop Bun- ker of Olympia spoke briefly about the | necessities of the whole people of Alaska. Bishop Hall of Vermont moved the ad- journment of this question and the board until after the next session of the House of Bishops until to-morrow night at 8 o'clock. Adjourned. PEACE WITH THE FRENCH, Madagascar’s Queen Lost No Time In Pacifying the Conquerors. But Her Husband, the Prime Min=~ ister, Will Be Sent Into Exile. , PARTS, Fraxce, Oct. 10.—The War Office has received a dispatch from Andriba, under date of October 9, stating that Antanarivo, the capital of Madagascar, was taken by the French troops September 30. The dispatch further says that the Queen of Madagascar has made peace with the French, General Metzinger has been nominated as Governor of Antanarivo. The Autorite mentions rumors which, it says, are traceable to the War Office,where dispatches have been received from An- tanarivo that have been withheld from the public. These dispatches state that Gen- eral Duchesne, commanding the French expedition in Madagascar, was compelled to treat with the Hova Government in con- sequence of having arrived before the capi- tal totally without provisions, and having learned that the natives would burn the city and ravage the country if the French did not come to terms. General Duchesne has informed the War | Office by telegraph that Antanarivo was occupied by the French expedition after a brilliant action. President Faure re- sponded by appointing General Duchesne @ grand officer of the Legion of Honor. The Government will strike a Madagascar | :jona covering arrests of officers, stipu- medal for the troops who took part in the campaign. The Temps says that the condition of peace agreed upon between the French ex- pedition in Madagascar and the Hova Government provide that a rigorous French protectorate shall be maintained. Madagascar will not be annexed by France, however, and the reign of the Queen will be maintained. The Prime Minister, the husband of the Queen, will be exiled. The Hova Governmental organization is to be retained under terms insuring exclusive French control. LONDON, Exc., Oct. 10—The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Paris saying that General Duchesne entered Antananarivo on the day he fixed months ago. The dispatch adds that the terms of peace, although not published, were drawn by the French Government before General Duchesne went to Madagas- car. His success is expected to save the Ribot Ministry, which the dispatch de- clares is the most honorable Government since President Thiers retired, in 1873. e Congratulated the Minister. ROME, Itavy, Oct. 10.—The Pope to-day gave a lengthy and cordial audience to the Hon. Bartlett Tripp, the American Minis- ter to Austria, who is visiting this city. His Holiness congratulated the Minister on the freedom enjoyed by Catholics in the United Btates and referred to the elevation to the cardinzlate of Monsignor Satolli, the Papal delegate to the United States, as a known fact. He inquired as to the health of President Cleveland, to whom he re- ferred with much sympathy. Mr. Tripp was impressed by the Pope’s physical and mental vigor. Politics in New Brunswick. : ST.JOHN, N. B., Oct. 10.—The nomina- tion of candidates for the provincial Legis- lature throughout the province of New Brunswick resulted in the Blair Govern- ment obtaining twenty seats unopposed to five the opposition.

LONDON, Exo., Oct. 10.—Keegan Paul, | the well-known publisher, was run over & cab and seriously injured to-day. & SCHOFIELD 1S SCORED Arrest of Major Armes Declared to Be Wholly > Illegal. JUDGE BRADLEY RULES That the Lieutenant-General’s Act Was Arblitrary and Tyrannical. DISCHARGE OF THE PRISONER. There Is No Article of War for the Indignities Heaped Upon the Retired Officer. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—Major 8. G. A. Armes, the retired army officer ar- rested some days ago on the order of Lieun- tenant-General Schofield, while acting as Secretary of War, was discharged from custody this morning in Judge Bradley’s court on the prisoner’s application for his permanent discharge on a writ of habeas corpus. The court’s opinion was read from a carefully prepared written copy and con- cluded with a vizgorous denunciation of the order of General Schofield. The quiet criticism of some army officers concerning the method of the arrest was transformed by the court into severe strictures upon the commamding officer, whose *‘personal feeling’”” was held to be the only occasion for the arrest and confinement of Major Armes. From the order discharging Major Armes, J. N. Morrison of the judge-advo- cate general’s staff, the attorney for the Becretary of War, gave notice of an appeal. Judge Bradley’s conclusion was as follows: “Being of the opinion that the arrest and taking of the prisoner into custody, carrying him away from his home quarters to barfacks not his own and holding him in close arrest without any antecedent charge of crime preferred in any way against him, was and is unjust, unlawful, arbitrary, tyrannical and capricious on the part of General Schofield in whatever capacity he acted, whetber as lieutenant- general or as Secretary of War, and that the prisoner is entitled to be discharged. It is so ordered.” The opinion entered largely into a re- view of the army regulations and the rela- tive standing of retired and active officers. Of the 1861 regulations only one imposed a duty on a retired officer, that of notifying the department of his address every month. It was true that the President was com- mander-in-chief of the retired officers, and the Secretary of War represented him in that capacity, but this command was not accompanied by burdening care or weighty responsibility. The return of the writ, made by Colonel Closson, in whose custody the prisoner was placed, showed that General Schofield was acting Secretary of War at the time Major Armes’ letter was delivered to him, and the delivery of the letcer was claimed to be an offense committed in his pres- ence. Wiiether this metaphysical problem could be maintained was, Judge Bradley said, not material. The court dwelt for some time on the fact that punishment for the offensa com- mitted by Major Armes—if any offense had been commitied—was either by repri- mand or dismissal; and this being true, his arrest and confinement did not seem to be essential. The statements made in the letter deliv- ered to General Schofield contained some grave charges, but if they were true, or if Major Armes believed or thought they were well founded, was it, the court asked, a breach of military discipline for him to complain or seek justice for what he felt to be a grievance? The army regulations provided for the investigation of grievances or alleged wrongful acts committed on an officer or common soldier in the active ser- vice; and could it be possible, continued Judge Bradley, that a retired officer, en- gaged in private business, could not com- plain without being arrested and im- prisoned? 1f such were the case an unjust diserimination existed that should early be brought to the attention of Congress. Judge Bradley referred to the regula- lating that they should be simply notified to repair to their quarters, and called at- tention to the vioiation of that regulation in this case. “Although without the power to assign him to duty,” said the court, “‘yet, the petitioner, at his residence, having no bar- racks, tent or quarters, in violation of regulation 991, which prescrives the man- ner in which arrests may be imposed, and in violation of the sixty-fifth article of war, without the existence of the slightest necessity for either arrest or confinement, or any occasion therefore except the grati- fication of a personal feeling, the peti- tioner was taken into custody by an officer with a file of soldiers and carried to the Washington Barracks under the order which required him to be held under close arrest, under guard if necessary. If he were liable at all for arrest and confine- ment, the only arrest and confinement that could be lawfully imposed would be such as is prescribed by the articles of war,”’ OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. The Bennington Will Remain at Hawaii o Protect American Interests. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—Upon receivt of Captain Reed’s telegram con- cerning cholera in the Hawaiian Islands Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo took occasion to deny the report that the United States’ stéamship Bennington would leave Hawaii.

Brush Brown of Newburg, who spent two vears on the model. Itis to be placed on high ground, in front of General Meade’s headquartars, overlooking the battlefield. g TRIAL BY MILITARY COURT. Ruling Relating to the Punishment of Soldiers. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—A deci- sion by the Assistant Secretary of War to- day, issued in circular form by General Miles for the information of the army, is not exactly applicable to the Schofield- Armes case, but the present prominence of the latter makes it of mnusual interest. The decision in question relates to the trial by a military court of a soldier on bail for trial by a civil court, and reads as follows: ‘“A soldier on bail for trial by a civil court may, while he is in this status, be brought before a military court for trial, but the military proceedings cannot interfere with the civil; and if a term of confinement is likely to be awarded which would cover the time fixed for the man’s trial by the civil court, the military trial must be ostponed. As the soldier is not with- rawn from duty by the civil proceedings, his pay status is not affected thereby.” TR SAYS DOLE 18 ALL RIGHT. Minister Castle Objects to Editor Haynes’ Btatement. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—Minister Castle, the new representative of Hawaii, said to a reporter yesterday: ‘The state- ment made in Chicago by Julian Haynes, editor of the Hawaiian, that the Hawalian Republic is on the verge of dissolution, is false. Haynes and his monthly publica- tion, the Hawaiian, have always been bit- terly opposed to the new Government. They are both subjects of ridicule in Hawaii. “I account for Haynes’ wild statements on two theories. He is piqued at the new Government and determined to reven himself; and, secondly, he is probably in the employ of the royalists. Ex-Minister Thurston has denied over his signature that he was opposed to the new Govern- ment, and is heartily co-operating with it. The present Government is increasing its gopukamy with everybody except the anakas.”’ —_— CANADIANS WERE GREEDY. Sir Jullan Pauncefote Invest!- gated the Bering Sea Claims. It Is Discovered That the Award Allowed by Gresham Was Too Liberal. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—Sir Ju- lian Pauncefote, British Minister, went on a professed pleasure trip to Canada, but it islearned that he has been investigating the Bering Sea fisheries matter, and his return to this city from Canada will be followed by a meeting between Secretary of State Olney, the Canadian representa- tive, Sir Charles Tupper, and Sir Julian next Baturday at the State Department, when the indemnity awards will be made. The late Secretary Gresham agreed with Sir Julian Pauncefote on an amount ap- proximating $450,000 in full payment of the claims, provided that Congress would appropriate this amount. The Canadians were much displeased at Sir Julian’s ac- quiescence, and declared that $1,000,000 was the proper amount., It transpires that our State Department agents have in- vestigated fully and reported thateven $450,000 was too great asum by 100 per cent. Itis altogether' probable therefore that no more than the $450,000 will be decided upon, and perhaps the awards will be much less. ——— CONFERENCE OF EVANGELISTS. How the Districts Are Divided for German Church Work. ELGIN, Irv., Oct. 10.—At to-day’s ses- sion of the General German Evangelical Conference Bishop Breyfogel presided.

POLICY OF THE MIKADO. It Is Concentration and Not an Expansion of Ter- ritory. FRIENDLY TO DOLE'S REGIME. Treaty Stipulations Are Being Up- held and at Present There Is No Danger of War. WABHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—Mr. Kurino, Minister of Japan, denies that Japan has any desire to get possession of the Hawaiian Islands. Referring to re- cent publications concerning the attitude of Japan toward these islands he said to a CAvLL correspondent : ‘Japan does not want Hawaii. Her relations with the Government there are entirely friendly. We do not contemplate making war upon the United States, and unless we did the Hawaiian Islands would be of no use to us. It is misapprehension of the policy of Japan which leads to the belief that we are seeking to acquire terri- tory. ““The policy of Javan is to maintain her- self and not to expand territory. Her strength is in her compactness. The ac- quisition of territory might be a source of weakness. Circumstances and military sentiment attending the war with China compelled her to take possession of terri- tory there, but that does not mean that we want to extend our domain. The Ha- waiian Islands are not necessary to our commercial advancement, and we have no ambition to figure as a great naval power among nations. We want to be just pow- erful enough to protect ourselves, and by acquiring territory we would not increase our power of self-defense. I suppose the report was started by those interested in securing the annexation of the islands to the United States. They want to say to the United States, ‘You must take us or Japan will.””” “Is there no danger of Japan being brought into trouble with the Hawaiian Government by reazon of the Japanese population in Hawaii?” ‘‘None whatever,” said Mr. Kurino. “The citizens of Japan in Hawaii are those un- der treaty, and practicatly under contract. Hawaii made frequent proposals of such treaty. Their Minister was importunate in the desire to secure immigration from Japan. They wanted the Japan labor be- cause they did not like Chinese, and it was after the third attempt that the treaty was secured. This was under the monarchy. They pay the passage of immigrants and secure to them certain-pay while they are on the islands. Ido not think that there is any more immigration now, but the new Government is living up to the treaty and Japan has nothing to ¢omplain of. There isnodanger of trouble.”. Speaking of dispatches relating toa re- volt in Korea, Mr. Kurino said that he did not think there was any danger of revolu- tion there. “I have received a dispatch explaining the situation,” he said. ‘‘It appears that troops feared some threatened punish- ment, and under the leadership of the father of the King entered the palace and took possession. They captured the King and Crown Prince, but the soldiers of Japan were able to restore order almost at once. The King and Prince are entirely safe in their persons and in their office. The Jabanese troops, though not numer- ous, are amply able to maintain order. As to the Queen; her whereabouts is un- known, and there is danger that harm has come to her. The father of the Kingisa great enemy of the Queen. % MEXICO AFTER THE BELL. An Invitation for Old Liberty From the Dias Government. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 10.—The Co- lumbian Liberty bell committee has re- ceived from the Government of Mexico, through President Diaz, an invitation for the exhibition of the bell in that country immediately after the close of the Atlanta exhibition.

In spite of all that has been said and written by advocates of total abstinence it is indisputable that modern methods of work and living make the occasional and even frequent use of gentle stimulants highly beneficial if not absolutely neces- sary to the great majority of men—es- pecially those engaged in business and mental pursuits.

A corrective stimulant is needed. The curse of alcoholic and vinous liquors is that they over-stimulate and create a morbid appetite for more. Peruvian Bit- ters, though composed largely of old Cali- fornia Brandy, has no such effect. It permits the healthy, stimulating effect of the brandy, but completely obliterates its tendency to create a morbid desire. Peru- vian Biiters is a palatable but powerful tonic that impels sluggish functions to normal action; cxgemng cold, fevers, ma- larial poisons and other disease germs; building up the weak and convalescent, DUFFY'S PURE N HISK FOR MEDICINAL US NO FUSEL OiL A friend ever ready to kill colds, coughs, pains in <hest, back and limbs and other foes to health and comfort. - For sale by druggists and grocers everywhere.
