Plymouth Advisory Council.

New YoRK, February l5.-The Ad-
yisory Council Of Plymouth Church met
at 2:i5 this afternoon, with delegates from
about $50 churches present, occupying the
body Of the church. The gallery was
filled chiefly by ladies. Mr.. Beecher
greeted all the delegates on their arrival,
and opened the proceedings by an address.
He said that this was the largest council
ever held in America to discuss the affairs
Of any one church. He referred TO the
storms which Plymouth Church had
passed through, and said nevertheless,
though it had been set upon by various
adyersities, it was united church. Ply
mouth Church numbers between $500
and 1900 members, while the average
membership Of ofAmerican churches is only
100. The membership Of Plymouth
Church gives no adequate idea Of the
great work done by this church, and
hence we have called you from all parts
Of the country to come and give US your
counsel. Mr.. Beecher said he hoped the
Council would do what it thought wiSest
and best,

Dockrny,s Escape.

New YoRK, February 15;.-Fredcrick
A. Dockray, whose case was the cause OF
Minister Cushing'a demand upon the
Spanish Government for the former gem
tleman's release in observance OF the
treaty Of 1895, tells the story Of his es-
cape. He says that in November he was
informed that the Spanish authorities
had rcmanded him to his old prison, the
convent. Reporting to the local officials,
he was told they had no information on
the subject. Freed from his parole and
not yet imprisoned, he thought that now
or never was his opportunity to escape,
and by daybreak next morning he was on
board an American brig lying in the har-
bor. That night he was carried to n
French steamer bound for Marseilles, but
was informed that no passengers would
betaken on board. The following even
ing he endeavored to board British
steamer. While rowing toward the stea-
mer an open boat shot close up to him
and one OF the men said that must be the
American who escaped. The next night
he got on board q British steamer, but on
arriving at Dcnia, 40 miles south Of Va
lincia, the Captain becoming alarmed, in.
sisted on landing him. The Captain OF
the Felucca came on board, and persuad.
ed by ten dollars and bottle Of brandy
consented 10 take Dockray on board
The Felucca sailed for Gibraltar and en-
countered severe gale, which blew fol
eight days. Blown over to the African
coast the Felucca put in at Tungress, II
sight OF Galley, the nearest approach HI
was destined TO make to his prison house
Thence he went to Gibraltar, where he pu
himself under the protection OF the
British flag. From Gibraltar he went tc
London and thence 70 this city.

prospects in our State this year. There
are grounds for hope, but II We would

steps 10 secure 1t. The selfish manage
ment OF rings and cliques can not secure
victory. This kind Of management is
frequently successful in getting some In

Of ability and sterling integrity placed

has not been time since tho war when
there was so little partisan strife among
The masses. There Is large element Of
dbeontent in the Democratic party, and
many, very many Democrats will vote
The Republican ticket II that ticket Is
made up Of the proper material.
We must select men OF known ability
and known integrity. When the State
Convention assemblies the delegates must
select such men. The Congressional and
