LONDON, April 9.—Canon Henson, one of the chief dignitaries of West- | minster Abbey and a select preacher of both Oxford and Cambridge uni- versities, has raised a storm of criti- | cism bv an article in the Contempo- rary Review in which he enters into the question of the future of the Bible. In this article Canon Henson impugns .the inspiration of the Old | Testament, referring to “its incredible, | puerile or demoralizing narratives,” which are regarded as being “a pack of lies too gross for toleration.” | Letters, interviews and resolutions by church and lay bodies, denouncing | Canon Henson, followed the on- | slaught. Sir Oliver Lodge, the dis- ed scientist, added fuel to the by an article entitled “Suggestions | Toward the Reinterpretation of the | Christian Doctrine.” This . agitation for revised Christianity, led by such well-known men, whose religious prin- | eiples even their critics do not dispute, | threatens to stir the cRurch.to an un- | | precedented degree. | ASKS FOR SCBS'I‘:?IATION.

The jury in the case was discharged immediate- ly after the death of the defendant. It is understood that they had decided RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. In another and similar article Canon Henson, dealing with Christ’s | | resurrection, asks: - | “Is the faith of the church in the | Divine Christ living, present and ac- ‘th'e, really built on an empty tomb? | For myself, I prefer to believe thmt | | no such intimate vital connection ex- ists between the truth of Christianity and the traditional notions of its his- torical origins.” Sir Oliver Lodge asks, “Now that re- | ligion is becoming s0 much more real,” whether the “formal statement of some of the doctrines we have in- | herited from medieval and still ear- lier times cannot wisely and inoffen- sively be modified,” and shocks many of his coreligionists by déclaring that he regards the “‘doctrine of atonement in the concrete form as a survival from barbarous times,” repudiating first degree. It was Manoogian's sec- ond trial, he having been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment last year. Manoogian, besides killing Michael, wounded Rustigian. The quarrel arose over an old feud among the Armenians of this place. . Armored Automobiles to Be Used, PARIS, April 10.—According to the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Journal, a large number of armored ANGLO-FRENCH PACT RESTORES PRESTIGE OF LORD LANDSDOWNE AT (MEROUS RIVALS OF FAIRBANKS Blkins the Latest As- pirant for Vice P Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, April 9.—Recent Re- publican Congressional district conven- tions in West Virginia have indorsed Senator Stephen B. Elkins for the Vice Presidency and Representative Gaines of West Virginia visited the White House to-day and assured the Presi- dent that Senator Elkins’ name would be presented to the convention. “The West Virginia delegation to Chicago will be solid and entbusiastic for Senator Elkins for Vice President,” said Gaines. “We are in earnest in ad- vocating his nomination and all dele- gates from the State will be instructed to vote for him.” It thus appears that Senator Elkins’ candidacy is no longer a joke and his name must.be added to the list that is already rapidly growing large that will be considered by the delegates at Chi- cago. Of course, Senator Fairbanks of In- diana heads this list. Up to the pres- ent time no one has had any doubt that Senator Fairbanks would event- ually get the nomination. He is supported warmly in his own State. He was originally a candidate for President, and he would add much conservative strength to the ticket. The Senate is almesp solidly for him. But Senator Fairbanks is ngt going to have a walkover for the nomination, and Republican leaders believe that it would be wise to have a contest over something in the convention, in order to add interest to its deliberations. Governor Van Sant of Minnesota be- came a candidate for Vice President during the week and he will have the support of the delegates from his State. 4 e S lis “rising to the conviction that we are part of nature and so part of God. In this sense the union of di- vinity is what science some day will tell us is the inner meaning of the redemption of man.” These outspoken utterances have caused public and private appeals to be made to the Archbishop of Canter- bury, but so far no action has been taken. The upshot of Canon Henson'’s bold declaration that “current and general- automobiles manufactured in Ger- many, France and Belgium will leave there for the front on Monday. L the belief in an ‘“‘angry God, appeased by the violent death of Christ,” and 1y aeepted versions of Christian truth are becoming inadequate’ and unsat- maintaining that human nature now | isfactory” is awaited with interest. BRITISH FOREIGN JTIATED. H E ARY, WHO H British Foreign Sec- retary Is Now in High Favor. | 7 Special Dispatch to The Call. Anglo-French colonial treaty just signed makes no specific reference to | any protectorates, it is now recognized that between the lines the treaty means the establishment of a French protectorate over Morocco similar to over Tunis, and that it makes perma- nent the British protectorate over Egypt. Thus the effect of the treaty is to transform the entire political geography of Northern Africa, with shores of the Mediterranean and France the western shores. | LONDON, April 9.—The Anglo- French colonial treaty marks the cul- minating point of Lord Lansdowne's recovery from the injury done his repu- tation by the South African war, and crowns a notable series of diplomatic acts, which raises Lord Salisbury’s suc- cessor to the first rank of British For- eign Secretaries. Lord Lansdowne's quality as a diplo- matist was first manifested when he refused to follow the lead of Chamber- | lain and other Ministers in abusing the Boers and reviling their leaders and initiated the courteous methods which transferred the final stages of the | South African problem from the sphere | of violence to the sphere of reason. Then followed a policy of firm and definite opposition to Russia in Asia and Europe. In this respect Lord Lans- downe stands almost alone among lat- ter-day British statesmen. His outspokenness has startled many responsible personages in London and amazed the statesmen of St. Peters- burg, where the tradition prevails that, however much Great Britain may pro- test, it has no intention of serfously at- | tempting to arrest Russia’s advance when Russia is actually ready to move forward. Great Britain, thanks to Lord Lans- downe, is committed to, hold Tibet and the Persian Guif against the Czar and even to see that Russia does not seize any pretext to overturn the existing political structure of the Balkans. The grave nature of this policy is ap- preciated in Downing street and ac- counts for Great Britain's rather re- markable concessions to France, in or- der to obtain a broad and stable basis for peace with that nation. The British Government is determined, if possible, S0 to buttress Eritain’s international position that Russia will never be em- boldened to assail the principles Lord Lansdowne has laid down.

The press learns that the exact status PARIS, April 9.—Although the | the present protectorate of France | Great Britain dominating the eastern | EXCLUSION ACT STILL IN FORCE China’s Denunciation . of Treaty Has No Eifect, Administration Is Resolved fo Keep America Closed to Coolies. | Legislation Will Be Hurried Through Present Congress if Such Course Is Deemed Necessary. WASHINGTON, April 9.—In the Cab+ | inet meetings and in conferences di- | rectly between the executive heads of departments the whole subject of the | status of the Chinese immigration question as it will be afjer the lapse of the existing treaty has been thor- oughly digested, and it can be stated that the administration feels that it has ample warrant for continuing to enforce the rigid provisions of the Chi- ‘l nese exclusion act, regardless of the denunciation of the treaty. So far from opening the door to Chi- | nese immigraton the lapse of the | treaty will, it is said, actually render the entrance of Chinese into this coun- try more difficult than while the treaty remained in force. This fact has been pointed out to the Chinese Government by Minister Conger, who has not yet abandoned the effort to induce the Chi- nese Government to reconsider its de- nunciation. Hewever, it is positively stated that the exclusion laws will continue to be enforced after December next, whether the treaty expires or not. Attorney General Knox has under consideration the question of the valid- | ity of the exclusion law of 1902, in view | of -the denunciation of the treaty, and | ke will prepare and submit to the Pres- ent an opinion on the subject. Both the President and the Attorney General have discussed the matter with mem- bers of Congress. It is being consider- | ed, too, by members of both branches of Congress, and if it is deemed neces- | sary some legislative action will be taken on it before adjournment. If it ifihould be concluded that the denun- ciation of the treaty by China would render inoperative existing laws re- | garding Chinese exclusion, the proba- | ble course of action will be to attach to one of the pending appropriation bills an amendment enforcing the ex- clusion of Chinese. Members of Congress genmerally are | agreed that no difficulty will be experi- | enced in passing the legislation if it should be regarded as necessary. % | No great hope was felt here that they | could ever reach a conclusion satis- | factory to both countries, though in | view of the Anglo-French agreement | €ven the most pessimistic are unwill- ing to be too dogmatic on this point. Both King Edward’s personal action | and the step taken by his Foreign Sec- | retary are due to a great degree to the | untiring solicitation of Queen Alexan- | dra, who has been greatly distressed | over the war which has involved her | Russian relatives and Great Britain's | ally. ]‘ DIPLOMATS ARE ASTOUNDED. : Diplomats acdredited to the Court of | St. James express surprise at the fact | that Lord Lansdowne has gone even so far as she has. It was believed, es- | pecially in German quarters, that the suggested negotiations lived only in the imagination of the press and that the | authorities at St. Petersburg and Lon- | don tacitly sanctioned the fallacy im | the hope of reconciling the British and | Russian publics. That Lord Lansdowne has taken such an initiative while Great Britain's ally is still at war with Russia is regarded | as being a somewhat bold and dnex- | pected step, all the more so because it | is understcod here that all' the Rus- sians at St. Petersburg still studiously avoid visiting the British embassy. One ’ot the members of the diplomatic corps | here, on learning what Lord Lans- | downe had done, said: “That is an olive branch with a vengeance.” MADRID, April 9.—The newspapers of the much-forecasted Anglo-Russian | here comment somewhat bitterly on understanding is as follows: ) the Anglo-French colonial treaty and After King Edward had given his ‘, assail the Spanish Ministers, who, they personal assurances to Emperor Nich- ; declare, permitted Spain to be despoiled <las that the anti-Russian comments)and her interests in Morocco obliterat- in the British press did not represent | ed- “The Correspondencia dccuses Pre- the feeling of his Government Foreign | mier Maura of being so ‘“‘preoccupied { Secretary.
