FiusDrjuoKsnuno, Va., Jan. 16 Tho libel suit over the grave of Mary, tbe mother of Washington, has aroused the most blttor fool ing between tho parties conoernod. Even the lawyers have becomo Infocted. and abuse each othor roundly at every opportunity. Yester day Mr. Klrtley, one of the plaintiffs In the oase, was called a liar by Lawyor Fltzhugh while ho was on the witness stand, and Klrtley intimated that he would make it warm for tho lawyer outside of court. To-day when his ex amination was resumed, Klrtley asked for the protection ot the Court, and said If he could not obtain it he would protect himself. There upon Judge McLaughlin placed him under bond. Mr. Fltzhugh thon asked more ques tions, and was not very particular in the lan guage ho used. Whon ho had ooncludod the Judge asked blm to retract the acousatlon made yeslorday. He did this very grudgingly. J. W. Colbert, the noxt witness, also one of tho plalntins, was asked a question by Mr. Dickinson, bis lawyer, to which Fltzhugh ob jected, on tho ground that It was leading. In this he was sustained by the Court. Dlckln tou then put It in another form, but Fltzhugh again objecting, tho lawyer angrily called out: Hold yonr tongue, sir, and if you oan't, step outside." "I will not submit to your Insults, and un less you quit I will thrash you." retorted Fltz hugh. n alk outsido." yelled Dickinson." and I will mash you Into a jelly." At this point all hands arose, and a freo fight was imminent. Fltzhugh. picking ud a rattan, whacked Dickinson over tho head, and Dickin son retaliated by 11 ring an Inkstand nt Fltz hugh. whododged and escaped the missile, but not the Ink, which sploshed ull over him. The jutors,now thoroughly frightened, ran out of court. Klrtley now started In with a stick, but tho appearance of Sergoant Kdtngton stopped the light W hon order was restored tho Judge placed tho two lawyers under $1,000 bond and lined them $50 each. Klrtley and Hheppnrd. the lattoronoof the defendants, who took a hand In tho scrimmage, wero bound ovor. The case was then proceeded with, with Hhoppard on tho stand. There was no moro troublo, but the language used by counsel would not have boen toleratod in any other city. This was tho third day ol tho trial. A SlVUU&Rhlt'B COXPXBBIOir.

They woio friendly, except that Christen was in tho habit ol ridiculing religious matters, thus causing Kuhnt much annoyance. On Doc. l'j Kuhnl road a chaptor from the Bible about David, and Christen revllod the Hebrew King. Then ho went to bed and fell nsloep, tho men having joined In a drink to restore peace." Kubol I egnn to reflect that his companion being vary wicked, would be bettor dead than alive Tho moro bethought ol this tho moro Urinly he was convinced that Christen ought to die. Ko at 10 o'clock he got out of bed, went Into the room whero tho stovo was and seized a hci.vy stick ot wood with a sharp knot on one end. He then retur ied to the bedroom and brought the bludgeon down on tho victim's face. Chrlbten sprang out of bed and endeavor od to defend himself, but tbe billet of wood de scended again, this tlmo on his skull, and he fell hack. Kubn udmlnlstered several more crushing blows, beating tho life outrf his vlo tlm. Then bedrnggou tbe body Into the col lar, whero he cut the head off with an axe. Taking out bis knife he began to cut up tho body with tho vfewot seeing whother Chris ten's heart was black. He succeeded In re moving tbe organ, and declares that it had In deed begun to turn black. He also removed the lungs and other organs. Thon be put the body In a suck and bnrled It. Tho heart he placed In another grave, after which he knelt and prayed that Christen might be mercifully dealt with In another world. Ho also prayed to be forgiven hlmsolf it he hod acted wrong fully. He huriod the heart separate from the body beouuso, ho said, he thought If the heart should go to hell the body would be safe from suoh a fnto. The head, liver, and othor organs were put into another bag and thrown Into tho bugar Itlvor. whore they were found by boys Ashing. He spent Thursday In clearing up tho traces of bis crime nnd on Friday lott tbe country.

XEjtuB or sna aqrrcuesx irnzoa ENDS ALL LITIQAXIOK Jndce ntltoa Kateaaaa a Claim for About a Million, the Cathedral Hart Be Carried Oat. and the Hnrplua Distributed Under the Terms of Mrs. Stetrart'a Will. After nearly three years of HUcatlon, tho Stewart estate, valued at $12,000,000, according to the lowest estimate, was finally settled yes terday by tho signing of an agreement between the heirs and the executors. At 8 o'clock yes terday afternoon William O. Ohoate, Joseph H. Choato, and Charles K. Butler of counsel for tho contestants, and Iloraco Kusssll. Leslie W. HassolL. Ellhu Itoot. and Daniel O. Rollins of counBol for the executors, appoarod in the Sur rogate's Court with an order for the discon tinuance, of tho suit begun by Rosalie Rut lor for tbe revocation of the probato of the will of Cornelia M. Stewart. Mr. Joseph H. Choato announoed that all the parties interested had oame to an agreement and petitioned the Court to admit tho will. Mr. Leslie W. Russell made a similar statement for the proponents. Surrogate Ransom looked over tho order and signed It Then the counsel called on Judge O'Brien In Suorome Court Chambers, and ob tained his signature to an ordor discontinuing the suit of Mrs. Sarah N. Smith against Judge Hilton. Printed copleB of tho agreement whloh had been arrived nt wero furnished, and show that all publlshod guesses were wide ot the mark. The agroemont as explained by n formal statement ot tho counsel, was ns follows: Thero wero threo questions In controversy. rlrst. Judgo Hilton aright to retain tbe prop erties conveyod and transferred to him by Mrs. Stewart during hor llfctlmo. Including the business of A. T. Wownrt it Co., tho mill prop erties, the Slewart building at Droadway and Cbuuibers street, tho Globe Iheatro property, and cortalu bank stocks. This was contottoa In tho suit ot Sarah N. Smith against Judge Hilton and others. oecona. juo ouuity oiiuo win oi airs, stew art This was contosted In tho Surrogate's Court by Rosalie Uutlor. the daughter of Charles F, Rutler and of Mrs. Stewart's halt sister Louise Third The validity of the powor in trust conferred upon Judgo nilton by tho will of Mrs. Stewart to mnku luitnor provision for tho Oardon City Cathedral and schools and to dis tribute tho rouialndorot an undivided half of tho residue of tbo estate among tbe legatees. The llrst question has been settled by the discontinuance ot Mrs. Smith's suit without costs nnd by a quit claim from all tbe heirs at law to Judgo Hilton or all the property which he bas ever claimed that Mrs. Stewart trans ferred or conoyod to him In her llfotlmo. and byateleaso by Judge Hilton ofadoblt bal anco of $987,357.80, duo Irom Mrs. Stowart to him at tho time of hor death, together with a bond and mortgage upon the Tenth siroet store, which he held as security for $700,000 of tho said sum of $987,357.80. The second question has beon settled by a decree of tbe Surrogate confirming tho original probato ot Mrs. Stewart's will. The third question bas beon settled by tho execution ot the power vested In Judge Hilton by the will. This powor was exercised by tbe conveyance to tho Garden City Cathedral of about eighty acres ot land contiguous to tbe lnnd occupied by tho cathedral and the school at Garden City, and by a further endowmontot $50,000 out of Airs, btewart's estnto. and oharged upon the Park Avenuo Hotol in this alty and tne Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga; nnd the power to distribute tho surplus ot one half the residue bos boen exercised by tho dis tribution ot such surplus among tbe legateos namod In the will In the proportions In which they would havo been entitled thereto under the will If the power had not been exorcised. All parties have executed such deeds as were deemed proper to carry out aud to confirm this settlement Judgo Hilton und Charles J. Clinch continue to act aa executors ot tbo estato. Judge Hilton was not a legatoe or de visee undor the will, nnd received no property and claimed no rights under it except tbe right to perform tho duty of exerolsing this power and of carrying out the will as ex ecutor. The effect of thoso settlements Is as follows: Pint Judge Hilton retalut all that ha raoelrad dnrtnr Mra Btawarl a llf.flma and all that na hat arer claliaad the ruthi to r. tain, axc.pt that he rha up hltolttm ta tha t H7,3.'70 from her eitate. bcondAll partita IntarettaU nndar tha will rectlva what tht t.rmaof tha will entitle them to Third riie testauieniAry lnteutlout of Mrs. Stewtrt In reapact of the cathedral r.cclTa their fnlielT.et by the oonTeyance ot an adtllUutial quantity of land about double that conT.y.tl to tt by lira, bt.wtrt in htr life, time, and half a million dollar.

Rosalie, Helen. Virginia, Lillian. Maxwell, and Proscott Hall Butler, one sixtieth each. This statement gives the full effect of the settlement, but tho complete ngreomont coors twolve nnd a halt printed pages. It may be considered a victory for both Bides, for the popular understanding of ono phase of Pros cott Hall Butler's attack upon the will has always boen that he alleged that Judgo Hilton did not ptoposo to divide tbe surplus ot the Garden Cltty Cathedral trust among the heirs. At tho same time Judge Hilton always repelled this ohureo. His lawyers also made a state ment In which, besides ropeatlng some of the terms given above, they say: "lor all this (tho withdrawal of tbo suits) Judge Hilton nays not one doltar of his own money to a single heir or relative of Mrs. Stewart surrenders none of the property re col vod from her, and only releases the balance duo from ber to him nt tho time of hor death on the account ourront between them, amounting to tbe sum of $'JH7,:i57.6ti, of which tlio sum o? $700,000 was secured by mortgage ou tho up town store All the holrs ot Mrs. ntewart join In releasing Judge Hilton from all claims which they hate mado against him. and In addition thoreto nult claim to Judge Hilton all the In terest they protended to have in any of tho real estate which was convoyed to him by Mrs. Stewart during hor lifetime Tne oxtrnvagant stories published In various quarters ato his surrendering a largo part of his porsonal or real estate to tho holts to avoid further litigation or to obtain a settlement with them were utterly false. Thoso heirs and relatives of Mrs, Stewart also take title from Judge Hilton as trustee under the last will and tostnmont of Mrs, Stewart, and thus doubly ratify the valodtti' and genuineness ot that In strument and doubly iitlltm the freedom with which tho sumo was executed, and fully recog nize It as containing the real wishes of Mrs. Stewart In record to the disposition of tho property which it is conceded by all that Mrs. Stewart loft at the time of her death. "'therefore It will bo seen tlint tbe Battle ment by which Uicit-e litigations are ended Is little else than a division of the property de vised and bequontbod by Mrs. Mennrt accord ing to her last will and testament, and alTocts no property belonging to Judge Hilton nave as the hofis of Mrs. Stewart hue elected to ratily ?ll of tho transactions botween her und Judgo Illtou.

Obataetea ta the XV my of Reorsaalatng tha later-State Commerce Aasoelatloa Tha C. n. aad Narthera la Htlll a rirata Ita Relations With the C. II. and duller. Whon Tna 8Urf, on Oct. 24 last, prlntod ex clusively tho newa ot the close tralflo oompact botween tho Union TacUla and the Chicago and Northwestern and allied lines, It also fore shadowed the collapse ot the Intor-Btato Com merce Railway Association, and announced that it was only a question of time when sov eral of the important railway companies that aro parties to it would withdraw from it as ovory member can do by giving thirty days' notice. Since thon matters have rather drifted along until this week, and now It any ono doubts that the Jnter-Btato Commorce Rail way Association has become moribund he has only to road the report ot Chairman Walk er, reviewing the first year's work of the as sociation. As copies of that report are not readily available, a few sentoncos from it will suffice to show how Chairman Walker feolB on tbo situation. Afterrevlowlng tho worx done, he said: "Unfortunately, bow ovor, elements ot disintegration have been at work in various directions which havo Im paired its fthe association's usefulness, aud which threaten presently to strip it ot all sub stantial value." Mr. Walker admits that tho association was at bestexporlmontal, and snys: "Practical difficulties lwo arisen with which tho present form of organization seems incom potent to cope efficiently." Mr. Walker euumor ates tho twelve arbitration cases that havo been submitted to him, and In ovory ono ot whloh bis ruling was disregarded, andoon- oludos on that point as follows: "It will bo seen that the provisions for arbitration havo become practically nugatory." Mr, Walker's roport reveals ono point that should recelvo general attention. It has boon tbe custom ot the Executive Committee of tho association to report to tho Inter-State Com merce Commission all Its findings on alleged violations of tho Inter-Btato law. Tbo Com mission acknowledged tbo receipt of tho last ono as follows: "Wo do not understand that in transmitting tbese statements it Is your purpose, elthor on behalf of your association or any of its mombors, to complain ot any alleged violation ot tho act to reguliito com moKO." To this Mr. Walker replied: "Tho question of subsequent proceedings is intend ed to bo placed In thu bonds ot tho Commis sion without reservation." As Mr. Walker was once an Intor-Stato Commerce Commis sioner, his opinion that the lunctions of tbo Commission in tho promises nre "Inno respect judicial. Put Durelv administrative is entitled to serious consideration. Uls opinion relative to the Union Pacific Morthwestorn alllnnce will result In tbe prompt withdrawal of those companion from the asso ciation. Mr. Walkor took tbo viow that those companies bad violated the spirit of the asso ciation agreement, though ther hadllvedup to all of the rules of the organization, hocauso they had disturbed or changed the "autonomy of the situation." That Is equivalent to saying that they should not have made their alliance because It changed the situation. The olllcors of the Union I'aoiflo and Northwostern Companies take the view that tho con ditions of trnfllo were suoh that they wero compelled In the interest of their patrons and ot their stockholders to make their ten years' contrnot ooverlnc through business. Tboy regard Mr. Walkor's deolslonas adverse to progress and uncalled for. especially as they havelivedup to all tho requirements ot the Inter-State Commerce Associations and conducted tholr trafllo ac cording to Its rules and those of tha auxiliary association that it has nominally supervised. Consequently thoy aro going out of whatever may be left of tbe Inter-Btato Association, and will at the same tlmo give tholr competitors to understand tbat any reorganization ol ths association will have to recognize tbo change in the "autonomy" aud any further changes that may take place. Thero 1b a wide difference of opinion as to whother the oommtttee appolntod at Tuesday's meeting of the association will be able to make any progress In reorganizing the association. It is clear that to be of any value the now or ganization must be stronuor than the old one, yet It was Impossible to get several Important roads, notably the Illinois Central and the Chi oago, Burlington and Northern, to join the old one while tho Chicago and Alton was coaxed in with great difficulty, and has probably beon regrotttng Its nctlon ever since, as It lost all of Its llvo stock business out ot Kansas City In consequence.

Ho said that tlio report was ft' not uunnlmous. and thoroforo ho asked that It ff the bill be placed on tho calendar. Ho gavo no L flj? tloe that ho would call It up noxt wo ik. 1' Kf Mr, Morrill, from the Flnnnco Commlttoe, re ft BE ported a concurrent resolution requesting tho St Eecretarr of the Treasury not to make a new ft W lease of the Islands of BL Taul and St. Oeorge, ST m la Alaska, for tho purposo of taking fur seals W 8 thereon: and to postpone all action In relation W thereto until otter Feb. 20. 1800. lie asked lta W ms Immediate consideration.

V ML No lease whatovor should be mado under the L ft? oiUtlng law. That should bo protented at all if. HP hazards: but, as tho resolution only proposed y R& a temporary postponement, he had no objoc 7 IP& 'on t0 "8 taeeago. 't'"0 resolution was passed. 4 ftjf The Benato then took up tho bill Introduced P' jfi, by Benator Butler of South Carolina on Deo. 12. W- to proTldo for tho emigration of persons of j$t K color from the Southern States. jf 3L Mr. Iiutler Bald that therace question, ralsod 1)7 the changed attttudo of tho two races to- k R- ward each other, was burning evidence that L ct the Issue was not conflnod to any locality, sec- tton. or party. What was to, become of the R I 300.000 Indians In this country and of tho t p, 100,000 Chinamen was a difficult problem: but p fe- tho most profound Inquiry applied directly to t' w tbo pending bill, and that was what was to be V the fate of the six or eight million negroes in f. jp this country. They were citizens; thoy had the K ballot; they had all the civil and political be rights which white men had, and whloh were j denied to the other colored races. Would tho I, colored people in tho United States bo oblo 5t ft to maintain themsehos on an equal foot- f lng with wblto men, and so as not to en f danger tbo well bolng of American Instltu- i tlonsT The opinion appearod to bo crowing i that they could not. An honest oflort should bo made to ascertain why not. nnd to deter- mine what was best to bo done. Tho intorest of both races roqulrod that tlio problem should bo carefully weighed nnd fairly dealt with. Ho SJ confessed tnat tho problem oppressed him i" Ki with its gravity and tliaiculties. It was too 6. serious to be trifled with aud too urgent to bo r- R Ignored or negloctod. Ho relerred to the al- M fOLCo of colored pouple from all hluh positions Y In this country, and saw in that fact tho proof I, Rt or unrelenting, unforgiving. Incurable race 'r t, Pjejudlce. t'. Tho bill, he said, contemplated a gradual, or- f -i derly. voluntnrv movnmi-nt of colored people out of tho Southern States, and provided Gov- j- 'j; ernment aid to enable them to do so. If lie 7t 5 wero called upon for tho authority whereby S Congress could properly make such appropria- I tlon of money, ho should point to the appro- fj priatlons mHde to aid the lnUians in moving S '-J out of the Northern, Middle, aud southern If if Mates, and to the nppropiiutlons to oxcludo r U: Ohlnamon. It appeared to him that it would W be a proper oxerclse of the oonstltutional fc K?. powor of Congress to appropriate inonoy for f np the national welfare. Tho citizenship or the t'X u) negro strengthened his claim over that of f jja the Indian lor hucu Government nuelstnnco. i H" It was conceded on All bands that If tbo B:- negro was ever to attain the full staturo of bis ff manhood ho must have a fair chanco in an Is., open Held. He was not one of those who be- it p) Hetedlntho total. bopelesH depravity of the V u,'i negro raco. Ho bollevod that there wore great f V' opportunities In Ktore for the negro. He bo- k f Ueved that if tbo Government would do its v. tj. uuiy oy tnonegro. msteaa oi coacmngmm ana V confusing him with civil rlgntu and empty X, etatutes: if It would rondnr htm substan- i I tlal assistance in bis struggle for rocon- t" eratlon and real freedom lis would Ulum- t, B ine the dark contlxont of hln fatners JK with the light of Christianity and law. mj- As to tho effect on the houthorn States of an 5ft. emigration of tho colored people, ho said that wi. If the South could bo thus relieved of apart at Wi least of Its superabundance of cheap labor there V would bo such an immigration of white, intel B llgent.jirogresslve citizens that tho prosperity f ft of the South durlug the last decade would imlo U Into Insignificance us compared with its future progress. J Mr. Hoar replied to Mr. Butler. He said it f' seemed to him that tho proposition was the h 1 most ustonlshlng that had eor been beard In the legislative history of tho Son- ate. or In the legislative history of any j i free, civilized, and prosperous people. It i. was a proposition that, by the torco of the na si tlon, aided by its treasury, eight millions of la J' borers born on American soil, entitled to every jL i right, were to be deported to what the Sonator bad justly strlod the dark region of i t the dark continent; and which. In eplte of the rooent oxpioratlons of their Illustrious K fellow citizens, was less known to the readors of history to-day than it wus when tho lather of history nttempted tbo description of it SOU I Tears bofore the birth of Christ. Ulr. Hoar paid a blgh compliment to ex- Eenator Bruce of Mlssfuslppl. and to the eight t ,t or ten colored men who had sat In tho House h of Representatives for several yenrs. and de- h. elared that there could have boen no better f examplos of the legislative character tor purity f ,t: of conduct. forsoundnesB of judgment, and for it i, ability In debate than tho representatives of U that race. It was not. therefore, that the 5- colored race could not bu made lit for freedom 3 r that the proposition was made, but slmplr on J i the ground that the nature of things, or the r nature of man. was such that men cl dlilereut I I races, and especially of different complexions, V could not live together in harmony nnd peace, V 'k and freedom and honor, undor the laws of this renubllo. it that were truo, then the Deolara- ft tlon of Independence was a lie, then tne Con- m etltutlon of the United States and the ConBtt- tutlon of every American State routed on rot- h tenness, then was the hrlstlan religion, which h h -taught humanity, equality, and that "God made Tv f of one blood all nations of the earth," but a ,f eolemn mockery, a selomn falsehood. fk Mr. lilalr spoko agatnxt the bill, which he de- t i dared to be either a manifest Impossibility or J anabsurdlty. Unless the eight millions of col- i -v oied people went. It was an absurdity; and If they aid go, then a burden would bo. imposed i s ;t tho nation which might well be called an I. Impossibility. Tho nntinnal Increase of the L colored people, who bodMoubled slnco the war, k would of Itself constitute a burden of trans- portatlon more costly than tbo oost of main- I falnlng tbo Government He thought that If, i -i. instead of exporting eight million colored peo- pie. there were ten thousand white people ex- ported there and kopt there, the whole difficulty I would be settled. The dlllloultles of tbe race T problem existed In tbe expited imaginations i and ineradlcuble prejudices of n fow white men, not between tbe races themselves. He finally H, went on to argue that tbe true solution of the t. dlQlculty lay in the enactment of his bill to pro- I, xaoto education. I i The bill then went over without Ration. It WML t will be called up again next Tuesday, when HI Mr. Ingalls will address the Senate la oppost- tlon to It, t t Mr. Pasco gave notice that on Monday next i he would address tbo Honato on tho subject of IB j Federal control of olectlous. s Mr. Teller presented the credentials of Wil li! bur 6.

I t Mr. l'ugb desired to have authority given to II tbe commlttoe to send for persons and papers, II but Mr. Teller suggested that that was a mat- V terwhlch should bo left to the committee itself, The Senate then went Into exeoutlve session, and at'4:lfi adjourned till Monday.

I i Mr. MoKlnloyof Ohio, from tho Committee) I on Bales, roportod to tho House a resolution m i for the appointment of a committee on the m World's Fair, to consist of thirteen members, which committee shall within three days report I a plan by which the House can determine the DO site of tbe proposed Fair, and subsequently ifl roport a bill providing for tho l'alr. ill Mr. Cannon of Illinois, as tbo minority of tbe i committee, roportod a substitute instructing the Committee on foreign Affairs to report a resolution providing a method of selecting the locality of tbe World's Fair: First, whether aald Fair shall bo held east or west of the Alle ghany Mountains: second, the selection of tbe place for tbe location of said Fair. After suoh vote shall have been taken, the committee, at theearllest possible day. shall report a bill pro viding for a World's l'alr in IBM, to be held at the place seloeted. as above provided. Jlr. Illtt of Illinois. Chairman of the Com I mltteo on Foreign Affairs, favored the substl- I tute resolution, and testified to the vigorous I and faithful work which that committee had performed In reference to tbe projected World's Fair. The site having been selected by the House, .the committee could within, twenty four hourn report a plan for the Fair which would be satisfactory to all the members of tho j Ji uv0'Morror of... PaJlfornla took the same IL j view, declaring that the Committee on Foreign Affairs bad proceeded dllllgently and ellep tlt ely to tbe consideration of the question. He created a ripple of laughter by asserting that. So matter what site was selected, the real ex iplllon would be held in the city whloh he had tho honor to lepresent. Mr. Hatch of Missouri favored tho majority resolution. II said that prior to the appoint ment of tbe Committee on Foreign Affairs tbe Kentlemin rooresentlng the competing cities ad entered into a compact that a special com mittee should be created. All St. Louis. asked wn'MbatoKPeclal committee should be appoint ed by tho Speaker, and that that committee should contain au equal number of Irlonds of tho four cities competing for the Fair. He asked that tho agreement be carried out In good lalth, und that the majority roport be adopted. Mr. Springer of Illinois denied that there had boen any compact between tho representa tives of tne competing cities. It was true that they had agreed to request tho Spoakor to call a meeting of the Committee on Itulcs, In ordor to oreate a apeolal committee: but the only in tention of that agreement was that tbe com mittee might sit during tho holiday reeoss. Sir. Hutch oharacteriVed Mr. Hnrfngor's argu ment as "special pleading." The rupresunta tlvvsuld not know that the gentlemen they hail treated with wero looking around for loop holes through which to orawl out of au hon orable compact. Mr. Springer denied that thero had been any compact. He denied tho right of anygentlo men to meet in a hotel parlor and make a com paot to bind members of tho House. Mr. Hatch replied that If tbe representatives of Chicago had not Intendod to keep the com pact they should never have Invited honornblo men to moot thorn. Mr. Springer assorted that the friends of Chicago had done just what thoy bad agreed to do. Mr. McCreary of Kentuoky argued In favor of tho Committee on foreign Affairs retaining jurisdiction over tho subjoct. Tho committee bnil made much progress in the preparation of a World's air bill wnich would mcot tho views of u majority ol tho reprocntatlvos. Ho de nied tho imputation that tho commlttoe was biassed In favor of any special site. Mr. Hooker of Mississippi arguod that a founding committeo of tbe llouso would bo moro Impartial In tho treatment of the subject than any special committee which wub ap pointed could bo. Mr. lano of New York said thnt ho had no ticed thnt no mombor was willing to give up anything that bolonced to him. unless it might bo a portion of his-salary. Laughter.l Head ocatod a select commlttoo to perfect legisla tion In ordor that tbu Fair might be an honor to the country and an honor to thn occasion. Mr. Flower of Now York expressed himself as heartily In favor of tho majority report, hevor qb a member of tho Now York delegation had ho been in favor of anything but tbo oren tlon of a special committee. He bud been waiting for tho appointment of such it commit teo In order to introduce tho Now lork orld's Fair bill. Jlr. Turner of New York strongly opposed Mr. Cannon's proposition that the House fihnll first vote on tbo question of locating tbe site east or west of the Alleghany Mountains. It was an unfair attempt to forco members living west of tho Alleghenles iwnoso llrst cnolco might not bo the Man ol by the lake) to v ote to hold the AVorld's Fair wost of tboso moun tains, and then tho friends of Chicago expected those living oast to go to their holp. Who had over before hoard of dividing the Last against tbo West r It wai bad enough when the South divided against the North. Hero was a propo sition to form another seotlonul line, and it i.ame in tbe guise of fair play; and those who wero unfortunate enough to be In tho minority (though it was n ttronc minority) who lived en-t ol tbo Alleghanies. stood in tbolr plncos to objei't to tbe unnatural alliance against tbelr rights.

I'recedeut required tbo roforenco of tho mattor to a special committeo, Mr. Hplnola of New York snld that a compact had boon entered Into by tbe fiiends of the compoiinc cities that a select commlttoe of thirteen membors should bo croated, each city to have three representatives nnd tho Chair man to be solocted by the Snoakor. lie thought that tho friends of Chicago had not acted in perfect good faith, and he said that tho Chi cago bill hod been slipped In botoro the com mittees had been appointed. Mr. Adams of Illinois denied that the bill had boen slipped in. It had been introduced in tho ordinary course of proceedings. Mr. Buttcrworth of Ohio argued against withdrawing tho jurisdiction from the Foreign Affairs Committee, which had boen appointed without prejudice nnd without preconceived notlonB. Tho gentlemen from New York novor wanted n now deal until they held a bad hand. Mr. Dower retorted that they did not want the cards stocked upon them. Mr. Butterwortb replied that the Foreign Affairs Committee had been appointed when it was not known that this Bubject would ever come before it. Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts thought that the adoption of the majority resolution would he aiellectlon on one of tho oommlttocs of tho House. It would bo a declaration that one of the great committees could not be trusted to bring In nn honest report. Mr. Caruth of Kentucky appealed for fair play to all parttos Interested in the selection of tho Fair site, and he thought that this could be best seoured by tbe creation of a special committee. Mr. Crisp of Georgia criticised Mr. Cannon's proposition that the House should vote on lo cating tbe Fair east or nest of tbo Alleghanies as being unfair to Washington and New York. Mr. Cannon said that the great contest was botuoen the coast on tho one hand and tbo valley of tbe Mii-sisRlpnl on tbo other, and it would be simplified II It could first bo doclded whether the Jnlr snould ha held east or wost of the Alleghanies. For tho past two hours It bad been thrust in'hU face that ho had acted in bad lalth. Thin he denied. When Congress met everybody who wanted a Fair, recogniz ing thnt there waB scant time to prepare for it, said: Let us have a special committee." For that reason be did cooperate; but somehow the special committeo never came, and the standing oommlttees wore appointed and the House took the holiday recess. Tho llouso (as was its right) bod referred bill biter bill In re gard to the World's Fair to tbo Committeo on Foreign Affairs, which was nearly ready to report. Mr. Hatch of Missouri again reforrod to the agreement, and Mr. Cannon remarked that they bad no powor to bind tho House. Mr. Hatch retorted that they had power to bind each other as honornblo men. Mr. Cannon claimed tho protection of tbe chair, declaring that he could not run a race against a windmill Mr. Hatch You can't run a race against tbe truth. Mr. Cannon If tbe gentleman says that I aeted in bad faith he says what he ought not to av and what Is not true. Mr. Hatch Tho gentleman never said it Mr. Cannon tli&rrmoarnoU bjs resolution by striking out the clause requiring tbe vote to be first taken on locating the Fair oast or west of tbe Alleghany Mountains. Tbo voto on substituting Cannon's resolu tion for that reported by Mr. MclUnley was de featedyeas. 140: nays. Hi. Mr. Springer (rising, to a question of privi lege) said that he bad kept a close tally of tbo vote, and his tally did not agree with tbe offi cial tally. Without impugning any one. he asked for a recount A recount reversed the former result and the substitute was agreed to Yeas. 137 nays. 134. Then much confusion ensued as to tbe next stop to be taken In parliamentary proceeding. Many members contended that the next vote phould be taken on tbe McKinley resolution as amended by the substitution of tbe Cannon resolution, but the Speaker held otherwise, and said that the next voto was upon substituting tbe majority resolution (as amendod) for tho original resolution referred to tbe Committee on Itules. Tbe vote was watched with intense Interest, and when it was known at the end of the roll call that the resolution bad been de feated by a tie vote, Mr. Springer of Illinois, who had voted in the affirmative, changed his vote to tbe negative to be able to move a re consideration. Tbe substitute was rejected yeas, 133: nays, 135. Mr. Springer moved to reconsider and Mr. McKinley moved to lay that motion on tho table, pending which the House adjourned. Notwithstanding tho reeount of tbe voto adopting the Cannon substitute for tho ma jority resolution, tbe result was announced in acouratelr, instead of rons 137, nays 131, the vote stood: Yosb, ISO; naytt, 131. BJIOOULYH'S ItKVVBLlCdN SCANDAL. A General Beoreantmllon or the Party Now Demanded. It turns out that tho etory published in TriE Bun about the attempt to bribe Qreenleat Smith, delegate to tbo ltepublican Qenerol Committee of Kings county, and about tho remarkablo conference at Franklin Woodruff's bouse between some of the rival statesmen on Monday night, was correct. Yesterday Mr. Woodruff, before leaving for Washington, de clared that be would nevor consent to break: the seal of secrecy, and ex-Senator Daggett was Bold to be at a sanitarium In this city. It Is now admitted that had It not been for the ventilation of tbe bribery Incident before the meeting of the. General Committee, Mr. Baldwin, nnd not Mr. Woodruff, would have been eleoted Chairman. The result of the fight has, only Intensified the bitter factional feel ing in the ltepublican ranks, and some persons are advising a general reorganization of the party. Late last night Mr. Daggett called at Police Headquarters, and after ilrst telling the re porters that there was no truth In the rumor that be hod gone to a New York sanitarium, to resolnd his shattered energies, be eald: I have come to the conclusion that It la best that tbe entire story about the Monday night conference In Mr, Woodruff's house should be told, no matter who maybe hurt. As all the parties to tbe conference are undena bond of seoreey, I am not at liberty at present to make any statement.

When Joseph Benson Foraker appeared in the room, Mr. Orosvonor greeted bis political enemy and said: Governor. I don't want yon to think that I came here to persecute you."

Wbon opposlto Mlggens tho older ono drew n rnwhldo from undor ber cloak and with a Tnko that, you cur," she brought It down on Mlg gons's shoulders an hard ns sho could. Mlggens put up his hands to defond himself, and tho woman continued to bolnbor him with the whip, at tho snmo time denouncing him In strong langungo. Sho was assisted by ber younger companion. A crowd gathered, but no ono olTorod to Interfere with tbo women, and Mlcgona hlmooir made no attempt to take the whip nwav trom her or to Btrlko hor. His ovorcnat protected him. and the hlciWH from tbe whip did not huit him much. The woman hit him a doron times, nnd then with a parting douuncintlon elm put tho whip back undor her cloak and walked away with her companion. Sho was Mra.

Ho told my hUHUnnd some, nnd my husband demanded that lin retract them. Ho would not do it, but Picked up n tin, plnttor instead nnd hit him on tbe head with It. Ho continued to circu late tho siorleB, nnd my sister wns nlmost ashamed lo bo seen on tho atroot.

TENTILATIOS OV BCBWATS. The Itroudwar Condulte Have Cold Air Ilpee,tit There la None on HlxtU Avenue. Yesterday's Investigation furnished no ex planation ot the causo of the subway explo sions on Sixth avenue ou Wednesday ovenlng. Some days ago the Health Department sug gested to the Board of L'loctricul Control that the new subways should bo ventilated by plpes,whlcb might be run up convenient lamp posts. The Board of Electrical Control replied thnt In tho subways now bolng constructed a load ventfint.ng pipe was brought to tbe sur face at each manhole. The Brondwny sub ways are ventilated by forcing u current of cold nlr Into them. There are stations for this purpose at Cortlaudt ttreot and Thirty sixth street. It was suggested yesterday that tho Sixth avenue explosions might have been caused by the Ignition of a compressed mKture of air nnd Kiifi con'nlnod near the dend end of the subway at Fourteenth strott. Tbe fact Is, tho pubway nn Hxth avonue is ono of tho oldest lu town, nnd no means of ventilation nre nro. videdforlt. The Board of Klectiical Control mnintnlnB thnt it is absolutelv nlr-tlght and thnt there can bo no accumulation of gits ex cept at the mnnhnlos. Tho Board has greater confidence In ventilation by moans of pressure currentROf nlrthnn by any other method, if nir is forced Into the subwnvs nt consldeiablo pressure. It is urguod that if any leaks exist thoy will allow the egress of this air rather than than the Ingress of gas. Until something Is done toward ventilating the Sixth avenue subway the dunger of ox Ploslons will continue. An tfnnclcosne bnltor Thrashed.

J.V TUE BANDS OK AN ASSIGNEE, I Chancellor IMernon'a nankins louse Fatla a Fortnight After Ills Death. Albant, Jan. 1C Ihoro was a follur hers to-day that greatly astonlshod people.

A fortnight ago tho senior mombor of the firm, Honry It, Plerson, Chancellor ot I the Hoard of Regents, died suddonly of an at- 3 tuck of bronchitis, following ono ot tho pre vailing influenza. Possibly his death precipi tated the assignment of tho firm, which was mndo by IiIb son, Honry R. Plerson, to-day. The liabilities nre fold to bo 1 150.000. Albert C.

Tho Into Chancellor had a seat In tho New York Stock Exchange, and his heirs will of couise receive tlie Exchange's Id surauco of $10,000 upou his life.

Tho Junior officers ot the navy oro vcork Wt ins hard to secure the passage at the present :l session of Congress of a bill whloh will secure il to tbem at least one promotion after graduat- log from the Naval Academy before they be- tome greyheaded. Ther have gained Beoro V tary Tracy's approval of a bill which provides JJi tor their promotion to the rank of Lieutenant "jjC, iunior grade, after ten years of service. Their H notlve Is two-fold. Such a law would guarnn- H tee them at the end ot ten years an advance In H tar from $1,200 or I1.400 to $1,800, and would M secure to them at the end ot that period rank B and quarters aboard ship to which their age H and experience entitle them. The matter has been a great deal discussed H among the offleera of this station, and some H curious facta are citod In support of the pro fl posed legislation. Twenty-five years ago the I head man of the Nin nl Academy class reached the grade of junior Lieutenant aftor six years' 9 service. Twenty years ago promotion came in jrl ten years And six months. The olllcers who H entered the service Ufteuii years ago have none fltj of them yot beou promoted, but still hold the H rank of Knslgns, tholr pay bolng tl.200 if on H shore duty, und 11,400 at sea. But as a matter H of fact, most of the Knslgns are doing Lleuten- H ants' duties at Knslgns' pay. Thoy do all tho expert scientific work of the Navy Depart- ment work which civilian experts would re IBk. oeive high rates of compensation for, at W about the pay which n New York police- fjB man would receive The naval officer in charge of the Now York Hrdrographlo Offloe. an Important and difficult post, is an Knsign on the par roll, although his duties ore those of a foil Lieutenant, and be is even given tho title of Lieutenant in the Navy Department Itself by courtesy. When his monthly cheok sots around, however. It Is for just sluo. The praotlco in the Navy Department of as- flgnlng oQlcers to duties of higher rank at tho ower pay Is common In all grades. Koar-Ad-mlral Brown, who has just gone to take com mand of tho l'aclllo Btatlon ou the flag ship Charleston, Is u Boar-Admiral In bis duties and reflponulbllltles. but ho is a Commodore in his teobnlcal rank and pay, Tho existing luws for rank and par woro iptBsed In 1870. At that time tho average age tor entoring tho service (as midshipman) was 10 rears, and tho average ago at promo tion to Lloutenant, junior grade, was 22 years. Now tho nverago ago at entry Is IS rears, and that at promotion to Lieutenant, junior grude. is over 33 rears. Then tbo aes at promotion to Lieutenant was V rears; now It is 37 years. The laws rogulatlng the rank, par. nnd ciunrters aboard ship of junior officers woro then suited to tholr age; now they cause great hardships and injustice. At that tlmo the officers having Knslgns' pay and occupying quarters In tho steerage were boys; now they aro men, of ton over 35 years of age. Measures for tho relief ot Ensigns hare been approved by throo successive Secretaries of the Navy, twlco passod by the Senate, and twice re ported back favorably br tho Naval Committee of tho House. Tho present bill Increases the par of Knslgns alter ten rears' service to that of Lieutenant, junior grade, and at the same time It creatly improves the status of the As sistant Paymasters and Assistant Knglneers by making thorn ward-room officers alter ten years' service.

Durlnp; thla month orerybody has noticed contribution boxes tn most ot the hotels, ferry houses, railroad stations, and elsewhere, bear ing the legend "For the hospitals," A good many people hare dropped a few cents In those boxes as thoy passed. A few bare dropped In bills, rarely If eor larger than five dollars. Most poo pie havo lookod at the boxes curious ly and passed br, "If I knew that that box was a square deal." said a man who had pulled a dollar out of his pooket the othor day and then put It back again, "I would contribute." "Why, I should think the respectability of this drug store would bo enough to warrant that" eald a frlond. "No." said the man passing out Into the trcot maybo tho drug store has boen foolod. Yon novercan toll in thoso days what sharpers won't do. I profcr to be euro of my charity, but I havon't got tlmo now to Inquire about tho responslbiltr ot tho box." A porson who overhoard this wont Into the drug storo where the hospital box stood, and asked tho clerk who wore sponsors for tho box. The clerk did not know, but ho supposed It waa all right Thore was no notice on tho box to show br whom tho collection was being made. The proprlotor of the drug store said that the box bolongod to tho Hospital Saturday nnd Sunday Association. Tbnt was a suffielont guarantee It would be well, howovor. If tho association would attaoh its name to its con tribution boxes In luture. Tho boxes would probably All up n good deal soonor. The Now York Hospital Saturday and Bun day Association has been known to tho publlo slnco 1879, whon it was started, it is modelled alter a London association whloh devotes the last week or two of onoh roar to soliciting funds for tho tiou hoxpltals. A collection Is taken up In all the London cburohOB on tho last Bundar ot each rear, aud tho ladles eallr forth to gather up Bubsorlptlont, nil over the city, calling both nt private housos and at buslnoss offloes. In this city the association takes up a collection on the last Sabbath ot the year In the churches, solicits subscriptions from trnrtuj and associations, and hangs out contil butlon boxes for a montli afterward in many publlo places. Charles Lanier Is the treasuror, and tbo Kxooutive Committee ronBlsts ot George Mncculloch Miller, tho Rev. George S. Bnkor. John S. Bussing, Dr. Blcbard H. Derby. A. O. Agnew. Jacob II. SohtfT, ana George C Mngoun. Tho associa tion calls Itself tho Saturday and Sunduy As sociation, because it includes Jewish as woll as Christian denominations, and the collections tire taken up in tbo Jewish ohurches on tho last Snturday ot tho year. Tho monoy is given by the lusoolatlon to a committee, of whloh the Mayor of tho city and the President of tho Chamber ot Commerce are members, and the committee distributes It among the hospitals on its membership list in pioportlon to tho number ot Iron patterns treated In each. Tho hospitals on tho list at present nre twcntr-flvo lnnumber.as follows: MtSlnnl,St.Luke'R.Rup tnred and Crippled. Gorman. House ot Best lor Consumptives, Home tor Incurables. St. Mnry's.

Tho city hospitals, like Bellevue and those on the Islands, aro amply provided for by city funds, and the ltoman Cathollo Church supports its own hospitals. The association has been collecting In tho neighborhood of $50,000 a year for tbls work. Last yoar the amount collected was $52.0J'J.G3. Of this $27,730.84 was contributed by 153 churohos, $10.58.1.79 come from 39 trado organ izations, $2,747.74 enmo from the Kxchanges. $699 from benevolent orders, $1,250 from sub scriptions gathored br womon, and 1U8U.G2 from box collections.

J.thlcal Culture, Unlversallst, Swedenborgion, ltoman Catholic. Friends, Kvancollcal. Iteformecl Epis copal, and Moravian. The Episcopal churches contributed nearlr twlco as much as all the others put together. In the trades the dry goods men lead the list with contributions of $0,935.58, or $2,600 more tbnn the noxt on the list, the baqkors and biokers. Tho tobacco trade is the onlr othor which has contributed .more than $700. Tho tobacco men aro credit ed with $2.0cail. These contributions oared for 10,100 free-bed patients in the hospitals last year, and suopllod medicines and treatment to 128.70.1 dispensary patients. The entire exnonsos of tho listed hos pitals last rear wore $734,372.87. To meet this ther received $129,287.40 from tholr Invest ed funds. $182,239.94 from paring patients, and $29,753.28 from the city Treasury. This loft $393,092.25, whloh had to be ralsod in eomo war. Thero Is always a large yearly deficit, and It was to trv to meet tbls that the association was started. The unusual sickness this winter will place a muoh larger burden upon tbo bos- Sltals than evor bofore. The Saturday and unday Association has, therefore, assumed now duties, and, in addition tn taking up its usual collections In the churches on tho last Sabbath of December, has issued a call to tho publlo through the neuspnpers for personal contributions. Subscrptlons may he sent in cash or by check to Charles Lanier, 17 Nassau street, or may bo put in the association con tribution boxos around town. HOSTON'3 Q HE AT J1IILETIO MEET1XO.

Tlgorona Bonndlns; of Cnrves oa the Brook lyn JTCtevated Hoad. Passengers on tho Blxtli avenue elevated road In New York city who have occasion to travel on the Union elevated road ot Brooklrn notice what appears to bo a marked difference in tho mothods adopted br tho enslnoera In rounding curves. In approaching tho curves between Chambors street and Park placo, for Instance, the train Is brought almost to a stop nnd then is pulled around nt a vorr slow rate. On the Union road, especially at tho aurves by which tbo trains turn from Band Into Adams streot from Myrtle Into Hudson avenuo. and from Flatbush Into Fifth avonue, the speed Is apparently much greater and tho offect upon tho passongors actually moro severe that Is, thoro Is moro vlolont swaying of porsons who stand In tho aisles hanging to straps; It Is moro difficult for them to koop on tholr foot, and porsons in coats aro somotlmos jollod nonrlrout of thorn. This has caused com ments to bo made br passongors upon tho pos elblodnngorof an overturn from what thoy cnll tho rccklOBsnoss of tbo onglnoers. The trains aro nlwars slowod dowu In opproaohlng curves on tho Union road, but tho ongineora seem to open tho throltlos to full speed limit about as soon as their chub aro on tho straight track again, thus making people In tho last cargo around no fast that they aro uncom fortably stlrrod uo nnd somotlmos scared. Somo of theso comments havo been brought to tbo attontlon of Bun reportors, and onp or two of them hnvo made special observations nt tha matter. Tho experience Is most strik ing nt tho lato afternoon hours, when the trains nro longer and more frequent thun at othor tlmos. Thecurvos at Sand nnd Adnms streets nro pocullarly Irregular, owing to tho fact that tbo tracks cross ooch other just boyond tho end of tho station platform at the bridgo ontranco. For this reason, and bocauso of tho nocosslty of awltcboa at that point, tho outor rail of tho curvo Is not raised, as Is customary In rnllwny construction. So also in tho curves at othor points mentioned. This has lod several people, nt lenst to think seriously of tho possibility of n train upsottlnglsomo tlmo whon the englnoor is a bit behind schotlule tlmo. nnd conse quently more hurried. Such foars nro by no moans assuacod by remarks ot tbo kind rondo by a guard when a train. In rounding, from llntbush Into Fifth avenuo. throw two Indies Into tho lsi)3 of men who were Beated. home body asked the guard if tho engineer woro not going unuBunllyiat Thoroply wns: Oh, no. We wont aniund on two wheols then. Bometlmos wo go on one." It will Interest patrons of tho Union road to know that Superintendent Martin and Chlot Engineer Nichols maintain that thoso curves oro perfectly safe. Tho latter speaks from a professional or scientific point of view as re gards tho construction of tho curves, nnd Is omphntlo Inhlsdoclaratlon thnt they nro not dangerous. Superintendent Martin showed that thoy woro oporatod'snfoly. IIo said: Thoro enn bo, of courso, no raiseu ran on a ourvo where thore nro swltchos. To makeup (or this there Is an Inner guard rati that oper ates to koep tho wheels upon tho track. Now, It Is not to our Interests to run trains around the curves so fast that this Inner guard rail would como Into play at all for if it (loos, tho wear and tear upon tho rails and tho flanges of the wheels is so great that n considerable ox penso onsues for i opnirs. That is. wo con hot ter afford to go slow, nnd thus btlusdown com plaints against delay, than to put on speed that would bring the wheels against the guard rail. It is perfectly clear that If the guatd mil docs not como into play, there enn bo no danger whatever In rounding tho curves. I am so confident ot the safety of tbe structure thnt I would willingly round any curve on tho road In an engine cab at forty miles an hour. The printed rulos of this office, however, which aro placed bofore and known by ovory englneor. positively forbid tho running of a train around n curve untlor auy circumstances fastor than eight mllos an hour. I do not bellovo that onglneers dlsoboy tho rulos. for they know that ff thor did tholr situ ations would be ondangered. Wo look out for that matter sharply, and the publlo does not need to fenr. It might bo woll to stnto. too, that at tho bridgo station we have the most perfect syi-tom of Interlocking swltohes known. This Involves automatic arrangements br which n train that is In tho way koers tho other tracks closed until It has passed the neo essnry distance, whon It releases tbe signals, and a train on another trnck can pass. Tbete is no dangor either ot upsets or collisions." OBITUARY.

The house Is sur rounded by a yard of ordinary slzo, and tho ornaments tho yard contains aro composod entirely of door knobsl The front of the slono foundation lscomplotoly filled with doorknobs. The mortar contains small nails driven in, and upon these nails aro hung the door knobs, brown and white. In the yard aro a dozon or moro odd-Bhaped pedestals and urns made ot wood. They are painted drab, and aro filled with nails, upon which are hung door knobs In endless vnriotv, but with groat regularity. Somo uf tbo pedestnU contain all white door knobs, and others all brown. Then thoro aro stars, crosses, shlolds, tnanglos, nnd othor de signs in wood stuck into tbe ground, and all hung with door knobs. On the tops of tho palings ot tbe front fence aro several strings of door knobs on wires. Extonding along tho front sides of tho house nro nilsed flower beds with borders made of theso soma brown and white door knobs. One of Mr. Colo's boys says thoro are just 6.S2S door knobs all told, but that thoy could use a few more If they had them tollnlshtbo docoratlons.

'I ho company ald I could havo them of courso, so evory oenlngonmy way homo I stopped at tho clay hole and filled my dinner basket with door knobs. My basket held about forty knobs. It took mo about 1S3 days to carry home thoso door knobs. Tho first onos 1 brought homo were for tho children, but afterwards 1 saw they could be hung up on nails by tho holes In them, nnd I thought we oould trim our front yard as you see.

Jli-H Po,J'nndrous Women. wJRfH In a recent letter from a member of HHI i tho expedition that Is surveying tbe HHJ j boundary lino between Alaska and Canada, HP H I the writer says ho has met tribes on tbe I H j upper Yukon Itlver where It Is not uncom INI mun 'or t'a0 ,vo,nen 'mvo -wo or more I bQ I husbands. lie speaks of tho peoplo as mis I 111 erably poor, and It Is an Interesting fact that I 111 j this is tho condition of the people In all parts II H of tho world among whom tho practice of 1 U polyandry prevails. Mr. Rockhiix found I H an opportunity a year ago to observo this H custom, which exists to a considerable ox H tent along his loute in Eastern Thibet and H I among the Mongols of tho Tsaldam. His JU explanation Is that the soil capable of cul- 111 turo being very limited, the tribes who live III I chiofly by Ullago and hording Und it lmpos 111 I B"' to liavo OD0 or moro w'vefl 'or eacn Im m man. It Is thereforo the custom for the III ft brothors In n family to havo only one wife 111 Iff among them, and while ono brothor goes on III M trading Journeys and another looks of ter the III 9 live stock, tlielr wife manages the housobold ill I and '8 tiie Beneral monsger and counsellor, III at It Is not from choice, then, but from neccs IJ j fl elty that some savage peoples In all parts of T!i Wk tn9 world praotTco-iajIyantlry. Richer and hhhI wives apleoe or even support harems. Ono would expect, thoreforo, that In far northern regions, where tho conditions of llfo aro most severe and food la most difficult to ob tain polyandry would chiefly be found; and, in fact no where Is tho custom more widely prevalent than in the thinly peopled north ern part of this continent and chiefly among the tribes of Alaska. As far east as Hudson's Bay, if polyandry does not exist as an insti tution, there is at least promiscuity in the married relation, and Eskimo there, starting on long hunting expeditions, are often ac companied by tho wives of other members of the tribe, who are loaned for the occasion. Among tho Alaskan Eskimo every man Is entitlod to as many wives as he can got but as women aro not infrequently In tho minority the men cheerfully accommodate themselves to the situation, and two or more of them llvo In a hut with one woman. In the rugged wilderness Inhabited by tho Konlagas, further south,Mr. Banobopi says two husbands are allowed to one woman. One of tho husbands, however, occupies an Inferior position In the household, and Is lord and master thero only when the other man is not around tho premises. Tho many remnants of tribes which prac tise polyandry In the region of tho Central African lakes seem to owo the oustom to their misfortunes. Thoy wero preyed upon by Arab slavo dealers or strongor tribes un til they lost the larger, number of their women, the most highly prized spoils of war, and, bolng unable, to restore tho nu merical equality of the Boxes, each woman became the wife of several men, and tho children, calling all the villagors father or mother, bolonged not to the family, but to tho community. Tho custom of plural hus bands, originating In vlolonce, finally be came a sort of social law, and Is regarded as praiseworthy. None of tho warlike and powerful tribes practises polyandry, and it may bo accepted as a general rule that savage polygamlsts are comparatively well to do and successful In war, while the polyandrlsts form tho moro miserable and helpless oommunltlbS. The Latest Blow at the Vatican. Tho temper of King Humbert's Govern ment toward the Vatican grows moro and moro oggresshe, and now threatens not only the security and dignity of the Pontiff but tho very existence of the Cathollo re ligion In Italy. The so-called Pious Works bill, which haj lately been carried through tho Chamber of Deputies, has tho two-told aim of depleting tho ranks of tbe clergy and of depriving them of the lever of lnfluenco which they hitherto havo wlolded in the ca pacity of almsglvers. By this bill tho funds of tho oharitablo confraternities, which num ber about nine thousand, are to be with drawn from the ecclesiastical bands by which they have been administered and turned over to Boards chosen by the muni cipalities. Priests are expressly made in eligible for membership in these Boards. As each of these confraternities has up to this time had its chaplain who acted as almoner, it Is obvious that at least nine thousand of tho minor Italian clergy are stripped of thou stipends at a stroke, and that whatever gratitudo the poor may henceforth feel for assistance rendered from eleemosynary funds will be gained or expected by lay offi cials and not by the priesthood. This measure, viewed In connection with previous encroachments on the real estate and personal property held In trust by cler ical authorities for conventual or educational .purposes, reveals a settled purpose to starve the Church Into submission to the civil pow er. This was far from being the wish of Vicrron Emanuel, who, in his first speech to the Italian Parliament after the occupation of Rome, declared his resolve to acknowledge the fullest independence on tho part of the tenant 01 tfio uoiy nee. xnis resolve tooK the clearest legal form In the legislation on the subject of the Papal Guarantees, whereby not only was tho Pope recognized as an au tonomous temporal sovereign, but a large annual subsidy was offered to him by way of Indemnity for the loss of his territorial pos sessions. Since then, however, under the successive Ministries if the ox-Garlboldl-ana. Oairoli and Cmbpi, power has fallen Into the hands of the advanced Radicals and the legislature has shown it self as violently anti-clerical as is tho athe istic section of the French republicans. No candid observer of tho recent trend of things in Italy doubts that tho law of Papal Guar antees Is regarded by tho Radical majority of the present Legislature as a doad letter, and that if Lbo XIII. should now signify a willingness to accept Its provisions, he would be Informed by Slgnor Cbibpi that his ac quiescence came too late. The independence of tho Vatican, which is still theoretically acknowledged, has In practice been so nar rowed that little remains to do but to deny to foreign Ambassadors all access to tho per son of the Pontiff. Tho Radicals, apparent ly, will not be sattsllod until thoy have de graded the Pope from the headship of Cath ollo Christendom to the position of an Ital ian Metropolitan. Those Italian Radicals, who are republi cans at heart may BUrvey the ultimate re sults of this policy with eqanlmlty; but if King Humbebt has any loyal supporters, thoy ought to see that the interests of tho Savoyard dynasty are seriously imperilled through tho courso pursued by the antl-clor-ical majority of the Chambor. Tho blows, which urenow levelled notonlyat the dignity and influence of the Popo, but at the num bers and resources of tho clergy, are obviously meant to shake the hold of the Cathollo reli gion upon tho masses of the Italian peoplo. In any event these hostile demonstrations on the part of the legislature cannot but be detrimental to the House of Savoy. If they fall to alienate the bulk of tho Italian popu lation from their ancient faith and traditional religious teachers, resentment and indigna tion will lead faithful Catholics to welcome any external or Internal movement against the existing r6glme. If the antl-clerlcals succeod in weaning tho great body of Italians from Catholicism, the re sult will not be Protestantism, whloh In contemporary Europe makes no converts, but athelstlo Boclallsm. What has taken placo In Franco and Germany will be wit nessed In the Italian peninsula. The Conti nental worklngman, who In our day abjures Catholicism, does not booomo a follower of Lutiixb or Caivtn, but of Kabl Mabx. Tho author of Das Kapltal," unlike the re formers of tbe sixteenth century, assents to no oompromlse with princes, and Is not moro hostile to the altar than to the tbrono. It was Bisuabck's recognition of tho fact that Socialism is the alternative to Catholicism that cauBod him to abandon the Kulturkampf. It is strange that Slgnor Cnisri, who professes devoted loyalty to King Humbebt, and who studios so carefully the conduct of the German Chancellor, should not have profited by this lesson. He should, one would think, percclvo that In Italy, as in Germany, whatever may be the upBbotof a duel between the civil power and religion, tho cause of monarchy is sure to suffer. But perhaps Blgnor Ciuan renders only lip service to his sovereign. An avowed athe- in ,TT-t-,rttM--it,,.f 'liraj!(wJJ Ill ex-Garlbaldlan, ho would scarcely bo ex pected to deeply deplore tho prospective advent of an Italian republic. An Invitation Declined. We must respectfully decline to oblige tbo Vew Forft Timt by copying In the columns of Tub Bun certain matter whtchtt bos com piled concerning the past life of Mr. T. 0. Oaluoot of Albany.

In tho full en joyment of tho estcom and respect of honor able men far better Informed as to the his tory of lila early life than wo aro or than the Nnb York Times Is men ltko tho lato Danieii Mannino, for example.

Ho thinks tho experiment In Llborla has not neon suchads cldod success as to load us to believe that much would be accomplished on a still lsrgar ncilo. The fact is. that the great mnss of our negroes are still too Ignorant to foel any Intelligent do sire or enthusiasm for the regeneration of Africa. All their well wishers may hope that ther will some day be worthy to be extolled as tho fitting pioneers ot olvlllzatlon In a savage land; but anothtr generation thnn that which was born In slavery will thon be on the scene, and it will have a far greater measure of Intel lleenre. pluck, and manliness than could bo expected of those from whom Lincoln struok off tho shackles. This seems to be a cold wave, but popular confidence in eold waves la gone. At the earns time It behooves johnny-jump-ups. dande lions, and other deltoate organizations to eloso up for a few days until it is known whether the cold wave Is going to be an Institution or sim ply a freak. Most persons feol so Incredulous about the return ot eold weather that even freezing an ear or two would hardly persuade them that January Is not a summer month. The Athletlo Committee of Harvard Col lage has bronsht Its powerful mind to the conclusion that attar the close of this season the undergraduates shall take part in no athletlo sports outside of New England. Ths Harvard faculty and ths Harvard Ath letlo Committee between them have made it practically an Impossibility for Harvard to win in anr form of sport Further restrictions upon the Cambridge atbletas seem unnooes sarr. Perhaps soma time or other thare will be a little glimmering of common senan among tho prigs and tomnoddies In Boston and Cam bridge who havo scotched athletics at Har vard, and then the colleco will have a ohance of resuming her old athletic renown. A correspondent for whom we cherish a high respect rebukes us for crediting to our most estaamed contemporary, the Oourier Journal, that rattling old poem which we pub lished the other day on the Uattlo of Now Orleans. Our correspondent observes, with unquestionable accuracy, that in his youth he was familiar with this noble piece of verse, and that It is not oricinal with the Louisville Qoddoss of Iteform by any means. Well, we know that, tea We havo beard It sung many a time, and more years ago than wo are anx ious to acknowledge: bnt we were very glad to find it In tbe columns of the Countr-Joumal all ths same: and we had tbe satisfaction of re printing it amid the enthusiasm of Jioicsort's anniversary. We felt ourselves very much obliged to Brother Wattbbson, and we were very glad to say that we bad borrowed it from his valued columns. The rule ot Tee Son Is that when anything is copied from another paper, eredlt is given, no matter whether the thing is new or not la not this a fair rule 1 Wo think so, anyway. The Hon. Lawbencb SuiiLiTAN thinks that $15,000 is not a large enough purse for him and the Hon. Petkb Jackson to box for. Mr. Suluvan considers that $20,000 is the least sum which could Induce him to lav hands in the war of unllndness upon his sun-burned rival. But after his Mississippi troubles aro over, the love of war will revive in the manly bosom of the gentleman from Boston. A mere oueitlon ot $5,000 will not be suffered to post pone tho Irrepressible conflict Even the po litical ambition ot Mr. Suixivak must yield to tho Imperious neoosslty of determining whether he or Petbus Niatn Is the better man with tho dukes. POLITICS AUTE. Tho Advantatxo or UoTtnent no Compared vrlth Stacrmtlo.. Ttvm the BvJTaXo Ifews. Thurlow Weed used to say that tho whirl igig of politics mlcht be likened to tbe move ment of the earth. A man may be hern to-day and to-morrow In New Jersey. Could Thurlow have llted all through the years ot the Albany reeenoy be would have been surprised, not to eay unia-ed. dared, at the political convolu tions which resulted In tbe olovatlon of some and the downfall of others. BamuolJ, lildon, too. would open his eyes from his aulet posi tion In the great beyond If thoy were telescoolo enousb to tnlce In the editorial pane of ths Ar gun and read lta support of Grover Cleveland, tho man who repeatedly Bnubbod, Ignored, and misused Daniel Manning. 80 marked was Cleveland's Indifference to Mr. Manning and his welfare that when the lntter vran 111 In the elty ot New York, where Cleveland wont on his periodical huslness a lilts, he not only did not call upon Mr. Man ning, but did not avon ha tbo deoancy to solid him his card. To see Mr, James II. Man ning as editor of the Ara'8 supporting the mnn who so misused his father Is a sleht to make angola weep. Lverr ona In this city knows, sq tbe Newt need not tell, how Clovoland misused Daniel Manning, but the ownership of stock In tbe Albany Areui was so controlled, and Is to day, by the many, pome of whoni worp follow ers of tho Cleveland camp, that it was impossi ble for Daniel Manning's son toglvo expression to what, un doubt, w ere bis honost convictions. Governor Hill, probably seeing that he was belngmmloa Motlm by the Cleveland camp, that the 8tate paper of which he had the mak ing was bring circulated throughout the Unto, disseminating vlewa in conflict with his Ideas of povornmont, and endorsing tho expressions of his blttoreHt enemy, took a hand In tho bat- !le.

ovn XBtf HATT. A I-roa-ramrae or Xxton-loa whloh ITU! Carry the United Ht-teo to tho Croat Itnak of Maritime Power, Wasucjotoh, Jan. 1C, Iho Imposing scheme of construction drawn up by the Ship building Poller Board far surpasses In magni tude aoythlng ot the sort hitherto contem plated. When tbe Fortifications Board, attar Congrats had been laying out $100,000 a rear or a little mora on the coast datences, da manded $120,000,000, chiefly for new guns and forts, to be axpandod by Installments through thirteen years, tho amount was rather start ling. Now tho MoCnnn Board asks for upward ot ninety war shirs, on whloli $209,000,000 Is to be expended during tho noxt fourteen years, with other allowances, making nn agRrsgats ot 1280,000,000. The ast sum roqulrod for land defences was due to tho fact that for twonty years Couitress bad built no now works and had barely kept the old and obsoleto ones tn repair. It was alio based on the fact that not a slnglo harbor in tho eountry was ade quately defendod, and not a slnglo modorn gun mounted on the entire coast. On tho other hand, the reconstruction ot tho nary has been going on with much energy for seven yenrs, nnd the result Is that there aro now built, building, or authorized moro than thirty mod ern oseIs, Including eleten nrmorclads. Ac cordinsly the cost ot theso now vessels is to be addod to that of those now recommended. But thoexpondlturoaftornll would bo only about $2U,00u 000 a tear, and It would securo for the country a roiiBnlflcent navy of betwaon 120 and ISO vessels, taking all clasos, nud thoso already built or authorized with the others to bo built under tbo plant of the Mc Cann Board. The Konernl schema of this Board is certainly worthy of hlsh praise. The stnndnrds which It adopts for battery power, aimortirotet'tlon, and speed far exceed oven tho ery hiuli ones nlioady established for the newnay. There nre nrmorod cruisers of not more than tho displacement ot the Malno and the Texas, which tiro to make throe knots an hour moro thim In oxpoctod rroni thoi-o oasclsi There aro tinurmored crulsors two or throe knots faster thnn even the Baltimore, In which the navy justly takes so much pride. There are other unarmorod cruisers which nre to reach a speed nearly ns high as tho Charles ton's on about one-third of hor displacement. It Is to be hoped, thorefore. that Instead ot adopting without nrlation the programme for tho present session suggested by i-ccrotnry Tracy, consisting etclul ely ot armored battlo Bhti'H. small Kunbonts. and torpedo boats, n sumclont departure from it will be made to In troduce immediately at least ono largo un armorod eruli-erof the sort contemplated by the McOann Hoard, which Hhall be guaranteed to make tweutv-two knots an hour, Undor Mi. Hale's bill eight battle ships, two roast de fenders, three Bmall gunboats, and fixe torpedo boats are called for. It Is tiuite evident that Secretary Tracy's administration would not wltnesB tbe completion of a single one of these battle ships. It would ssem desirable to see at least one first-class vessel actually built and put In commission under his own control of tho department. If ho ehould do this he would havo an experience not enjoyed bv nnv one of hlB predecessors. Mr. Chandler failed to see the Dolphin ac cented nnd put Into commission before i he wont out of oinco. nnd Secretary V hftnoy's ex perience with tbe Vorktown nns the same, and also, of course, with ail the othor vessels de signed undor bis own administration. Hut hocrotary Trnoy. profiting by the skill and facilities now acquired by our shipbuilders, could count on having a 7,400-ton protected cruiser like those tn tho soheme of the McOann Board completed bt fore March 4, 18U3. At all events, while the movement for constructing some powerful battlo ships Is so well worthy of the support of Congress. -tho butldinir of largo unarmorod cruisers, perhaps, oueht not to be wholly checked. SIR. mUTXBT AND TUB PHESIDESCT. Ho has No Ambltloa for tho Om-e, and he Snya Home Other Thtncs. A Washington correspondent of the Bos ton Olobe telegrsphod to that paper on Jan. 12 an alleged interview with ex-Secretary Whit ney during his visit to Washington on World's Fair business. Mr. Whitney is reported as say ing that he expected Cleveland would be the nominee in 1892. He is farther quoted this way: If ths Convention wero to bo held to-morrow ha would be nominated without any doubt, and I think ho will bo when the time comes. Can wo elect him? Yes, I think we can. Clove land and tariff reform will sweep tho country." Tho Globe goes on to say that those remarks rather dispose of the statements which have been Industriously circulated In some quarters that Mr. Whitney had the Presidential bee buzzlne in his own bonnet, and that ho was for David Bennett Hill against Orover Cleve land." Kx-bccretary Whitney mad this article yoslorday in his ofllcs. He lauched.

"As for Cleveland and Hill, I am one of those who do not bsllavo In pulling down any one. No one has eer heard mo speak a word against either ot them. Both are strong, each In his own way. I think Cleveland Is stronger to-day than ho was a year ago. But no man can say what the course of tho party will be In an other three years, and ns for me, I shall lend a belplnc hand nt tho proper timo as u, worker In the ranks to whoever deems to me to ba the strongest nnd best candidate.

In the nouse to-day a motion was made not to transact any business until after the settlement ot tbe Gub ernatorial contest It was voted down by tbo Democrats.

Four years ago, whon Miss Nellie be gan to think of tho means whereby ehe must earn her living, she looked over the whole field of woman's work. Among the trados or occu pations which tbe pushing women of this coun try had made their own. there was none she especially liked. She was a bright girl, with a great deal of Yankee cleverness, and consider able Ingenuity and Inventiveness. The remark was made by alrlond that sho was so fond of inventions ehe ought to become a machinist. The seed thus Idly sown took root, and sho applied for a place as ap prentice.

She Is not afraid of tho grease and crime of the shop, and her beauty Is not In tbe least marred by a long swipe ot dirt across her dimpled cheek, noroepot of oil on her nose. Her bands aro Sot ns white as those of some of her sisters, ut they are by no means larce. though they are strong. She Is a great favorite with her fellow workmen, and is the pride ot the little country village.

As a fatner in the household of faith, tho Jtishop Is II bound to bronk the bread of life to the little U ones. As a pastor of souls he Is bound to warn 41 lito Hook aicalnat tho dangers that may await I them. Tho prophet of old speaks bitterly of the natch men that nro blind, and of dumb docH unablo to bark when dnnuer In at hand. Woe tn mo." says the Apostle. if I do not proavh tho Gospel." When, therefore, tbo Iesuo to which you linve alluded was raised, there was no alternative left but to meet It fearlessly, or to swene from the path of duty. Tho rights ol property havo been held sacred by tlie Church from tlmo Immemorial. Its leclslntlon In ndmlttlnp; her clorcy to sacred orders Is built upon this doctrlno. Accordlne to lime-honored tustom. her ministers were required ol old. on tbey lire still In countries In whkhtbeennon law Is fully promulgated, to Piovc tliu title, of their patrimony belnro pro motlon toriiibdfiienn'hip.

Fiinn that d.iy to this the Church fleaillly worked for tlio emancipation of all huinnnity beenuso the soul ot even the vilest slnto bears tbo clorloin Impress of Its Creator. In the words of n tllsilnsulHhed historian, the action ot tbo Church Irom the boclnnlne was like that ol n seed cn-t Into the orovlee or a Btono wall, thoro taklna root, then Gradually deteloplnc Into a tree which sooner or later, In tho ery naturo of tblnss, would broalc tbrotmheiery opposlni; burrior and stand re veuled pi all itx native (trace and symmetry. ltegnrdlng the care of tbo poor, you know perfectly woll.

When James Boagan first spoke to the super intendent of motive power ot the Pennsylvania Batlraad about an Important lnvontion ot his In the way of a grate for a looomotivo, not much attontion wan given him. but aftor repented appeals for a trial be bad an opportunity to mako n tost. Keagan's invention is a shaking grato and by Its use an engino has boon run for 130 consecutlvo hours betweon Harrlsburg and Philadelphia without burning a stick of wood after the lire was first lighted, and with out tho flro clogging. Tbo Invention, If adopted by tho railroad company, will revolutionize tho old-tlmo methods of firing locomotives. On Jan. C engine 1.350, with Itengan's fire grate In the furnace, loft the Philadelphia yards with Engineer Blessing in charge. Inventor lloagan was on tho engine, which ptillod a bonvy freight train. The trip wni made In twelvo hours, which Included a stop of 2't hours. This latter incident was in the inventor's favor, as it put his scheme to a severe tost. The flro remained fresh during tho dolay. Thlrtcon bubbols of clinkers were taken out ot tbo lire box. and In4S minutes the engine startod off. As soon as the engine reached Harrlsburg it was attached to another freight train and made the return trip tx Phila delphia In tbo same time. When tho loco motive finished its run of 130 hours at 8:48 on r-aturdsy, Jan. 11, the fire was as fresh aA wnen tho engine started on Mon day morning. Most freight engines must use the "blower" to strengthen tho lire, but during this test its use was not required even ouce. Kot a piece of wood was useu aftor the fire was started, and the coal wns of tbe most ordlnnry kind. When It Is known that It requires nearly one-quarter of a cord of wood to start a lire, tho time saved In starting altar long stops and tbo labor, tho Importance ol tbe new grate will nt once bo seen. With this In vention It would not bo necessary to change an engine hetwoen Pittsburgh nnd New York. An ordinary run for a locomotlvo now l 100 miles, beenuso tho (urnnco becomes clogged with clinkers, whloh makes it Impossible to keep up a high rato of spood.

Instead of permitting tho Southern lines to cut tbo rntes, as an ollrot to tlio Ponnxylvanla and New York Central, which will carry passongers via tbelr shorter routes 2.50 cheaper, It was doclded that It would be better for the strong roads to raise tholr rates via Cincinnati.

Bepresentatlve Congregational clergy men front Massachusetts nnd Connecticut, as well as from this city and Brooklyn, wero pres ent Not only wero Congregational clergymen present, but clergymen of other ovangellool denominations wero there as honorary mom bers of the Council. Among thete lnttor wore Phillips Brooks and tho Be v. Dr. Donald, Epis copalians; tbe Bov. Dr. Armltige, Baptist: tbo Bov. Dr. G. E. Beed, Methodist, and tho Itev. Dr. Wesley ft, Davis, lteformed. Tho Bev. E. P. Ingersoll of tho Puritan Church, Brooklyn, the oldost settled pastor, called tho Council to ordor, and tho Bov. Dr. Meredith was choson Moderator. Tho chutch originally rofusod to call n council for tho in stallation of Dr. Abbott, but as Mr. Bliss had not been ordained, It was forced to call ono for his ordlnntlon.nnd It concludod to mako Dr. Ab bott's Installation part of tho Council's dutlos. Whon the preliminaries wero over Dr. Abbott read an autobiographical sketoh to the Coun cil, In which his religious bellof was outlined. Summarizing bis thoologloal bollefs, Dr. Abbott said: My theology bat changed In tbe past and will chant In the future but If the past be an augury ot th future. It will chang only to mak Christ mora centraL It la Imperfect and always will be, for we know In part and we prophesy lu part, and th truth ot (Jod la known In lit entirety by none of u. But as th ysara go by and creeda ar lest, faith and hope and tore are mora to me: the faith that loots with ever clearer vision upon th. Invisible and eternal, while .11 things earthly and tem poral grow more ahadowy. the hope that amid all the wreckage of life heara ever. Ilka a bird emir In the tam pan, "AH things work togsther for good to thsm that love Oodi" and th. lov. which counts all humanity one great brblherhood, because children of that Father of whom every family lu heaven and on earth it named. Whon Dr. Abbott had flntshod the roll was callod soaotoglvo oachclorgymau an oppor tunity to quostlon him. Not many bad ques tions to ask, but thoso who had gao Dr. Ab bott difficult theological nuts to crack. Ho was aBkod by tho Bev. Mr. McLood what was his vlow as to church organization. Ho repliod that Christ had lelt bis disciples freo to or ganize in whatever manner they saw tit. so that Episcopalians. Methodists, lteformed, Ac wero all equally apostolic. Asked by Mr. McLeod as to what constituted tho basts of fellowship between Congregational churohes.be said his Ideal would be a dokIs ot unity for all Christian churches-loyalty to Christ. Ho considered all Congregational churches Independent but, when anlmatod by the snmo spirit thoy should work together. The Itov. Dr. Alexander Mehonrlo of Cam bridge asked Dr. Abbott lor his bellof as to the Trinity, thoroby involving a dallnlilnn nnd ex planation ol what was meant by tbe word. "Whon I joined tbo Presbyterian Church." said Dr. Abbott, "I was troublod on tbo sub ject. I scarcely knew whether to detlne tho Trinity as one in substance and threo in os sonoe, or Ibroo in substance and one in es sence But 1 -told my old pastor that 1 accepted tho Father, woishippod tho hon. and worship ped and aceeplod tho Holy Ghost, and ho Bald noono could do more. I think thoro Is but ono God, not threo Gods, and l don't use the word Trinity. 1 believo in one Divine Spirit wbo 1111s tbe unlvereo with Ills omnipresence and is re vealed to us Py Ills manifestation in the flesh and thodnalllng of His spirit In us. But of tbo relation between tbe Father, Son, and Spirit tho question is so great and I am so small that 1 don't pretend to nnswer It" lApplause.1 Askod by tbe ltev. dr. Mears of Worcester as to tbo rolatton between sin and tbo theory of conditional Immortality. Dr. Abbott said ho believed tho spit It. or soul, of man to llvoonly by keeping up Its connection with God. as the earth with tho sun Inovltnblo dea'h must follow tbo entire severance of such connection. He preferred to think of an extinction of being rather than In everlasting flu nnd suOoring. Whon Dr. Abbott's examination was finished tho Council went into secrot session to vote on his Installation. When It ronsscmblod in tbe afternoon the llov. Mr. Bliss read a statement of his belief which was much more olaborate and explicit. If not bo autoblograohloal. as that or Dr. Abbott. In it bo implied that he had solved tlio problem which bad banted Ht Augustlno. and succeeded in comprehending tha Trinity. In spite ot his oxplicltness bo was not only asked nearly as many questions as was Dr. Abbott, but tho questions brought to light rather startling phases ot belief to which be had not glvoti uttorance. One by Dr. Armttttgo evolved the admission tbnt ho practically believed in purgatory: that Is. that In tho rasa of souls not yet lit for heaven, but still not entlroly unworthy, a cleansing process wont on beyond the crave. When cross-examined by Dr. Moredlth he made tho startling utatoment tbat a man could bo a Christian who did not tako Christ as his model. By this bo meant tbnt a man whoso life was Christ-like, but who did not know of Christ could be saved. Ho denied believing in conditional Immortality, as did Dr. Abbott. When his examination had endod tho Coun cil proceeded to oonslder bis claims to ordina tion with closed doors. In tbo evening tho proceedings openod with the announcement tbnt the Council bad sanc tioned the installation or Dr. Abottand Mr. Bliss ns pastor and assistant pastor of Plym outh Church. After addresses bv the Bev. Dr. Bradford of Montelalr and Dr. Whlton of Tro mont Mr. Bliss was consocrated to the minis try with tho laying on of bands. Dr. Morodith pronouncing tbe prayer of ordination. Phillips Brooks was introduced and was re ceived with applause. He snld It was a privi lege to stand In tho place once oceunled by theBforemost proachcr ot tbo lnnd the greatest proaohor of America and of tho century. "Sir. Boechor." continued Dr. Brooks, "was great In everything that conktltutes a Christian preacher. There should be nothing strange in my pres ence here, but we know too well how denomi nation withdraws Itself from denomination. Is there anything to bring tbo Churcbes together? When overy part of the Churob Is Oiled with love for its fellow man, then there will bo no more denominational dis tinctions. There will no longor bo separation of doama and life, when they both become allvo so that they may reach out and ilnd eaeb other. Lot tho Church be energized, anlmatod with love of truth and the Christian spirit then will It become a power for good." Dr. Brooks concluded with tbe prediction that many or tbe doctrinal differences whloh now divldo the Church would disappear within the next twenty years. Dr. McKonzle of Gam bridge.
