NEW YORK, April 2O.-As is the usual GUS
tom OF Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, his Friday
evening lecture was strange combination
of secular and religious subjects. Heopened
fiercely on the Tweed funeral, and afterward
said that the most repulsive event Of the
week was the effort to revive an old scandal.
Mr. Talmage, in conclusion, referred to the
form OF observance in vogue In various coun-
tries on Good Friday.
He closed with theatrical flourish that
was startling. 81 desire that the lights may
be lowered IN sympathy with the music" said
he At this point one of the most dramatic
scenes that ever occurred within the walls of
church was witnessed. The innumerabbe
gas jets OF the tabernacle faded away, and
when the large audience was left full OF ex-
cited expectancy and in complete darkness,
the awful silence was broken first by the
voice OF Talmage, exclaiming: There was
darkness over the land until the ninth hour,
and then the magnificent organ burst forth
with most grand selection OF music, typical
of that solemn hour, in which could be plainly
discerned the rolling OF thunders, the rending
of the veil and the wailing Of women.
To sensitive and excitable minds the mo-
ment was one OF great strain upon the nerves,
50 much SO, that one young lady, in the mids,
of the music, fell into deep faint, and was
after all attempts at restoration had failed
carried out of the church In the arms Of sew

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Hon. G. Wiley
Wells, late Consul General at Shanghai, was
further examined by the Committee ON Ex-
penditures in the State Department to-day,
with reference to the charges preferred
against Hon. Geo. F. Seward, Minister to
MIR. Wells showed that on a number Of occa-
sions In the consular court at Shanghai illegal
fees were cha, ged, and cited an instaLce in
which about $50 were so Illegally charged by
Bradford; and one case in which a man had
been convicted OF the embeZzlement of about
5000, In which the fees amounted to over $1,000.
Mr.. Wells said But these court fees and
the official expense account, and stated that
Mr. Seward told him that these funds went to
his own USE
Seward said that he had made an arrange
ment when he first came to Shanghai with
the clerk and marshal to keep the fees, and
he paid Bradford $500 d year besides his reg
ular salary as consular clerk. Precisely what
was paid out OF this office expense account did
not appear, inasmuch as the regular ex-
penses of the Office were paid out OF the regu-
lar appropriations.
Mr. Wells stated that after Myers became
Consul General, Bradford for several months
retained the fees, and charged them to him
M yers and kept them himself. and in addition
charged Myers 500 for keeping the latter's
private books. He said that Bradford inter-
fered with letters addressed to Myers, and
produced a letter from Gen. Myers, which he
had found among Bradford's private papers,
and which Bradford said was left by mistake
M yers, at this point was called to the
stand, and 8 ated that he never knew of or
saw the letter until it was shown him two
days ago by Mr.. Wells.
Mr.. Wells continued his testimony, corrob-
Grating all Of Myers charges andpevidence.

Rpecher's Rival.

NEW YORK, April 2g..It has been asoer-

who resigned about month ago Ia accord
ance with request from q special com mittee
OF his church, owing to charges Of immor
ality in connection with a school girl, is at
pains, however, not to communicate with his
relatives residing here, and has intimated to
strangers that he desires to remain peace
fully secluded until he sails for Europe.
His nephew, DR.; Erskine Mason. was dis
alleged charges that have been made against
his uncle. When asked II he knew where the
ex- Bishop could be seen in order to deny the
allegations that had been made against him,
DR.. Mason declined to give any information
of his whereabouts, and said that he had only
heard indirectly Of the ex-Bishop's arrival
yesterday morning DR.. Mason was posi-,
her husband, but would not deny that it was
her intention to do SO. He also believed that
his uncle had made every preparation to
sail on the twenty seventh Instant, but
thought that it would be indelicate OF him,
under the circumstances, to volunteer any
particulars

Uneaslness Over the Labor Troubles
Further Depre sslOn Feared.

LONDON, April 2o.-The labor troubles are
now attracting much attention here and are
source of considerable uneasiness. An en-
forced idleness of probably several months
duration is threatened in all the cotton dis
tricts, and much distress is inevitable, unless
a compromise can be effected. Both masters
and operatives, however, are firm and un-
termination Of the strike.
The stagnation in the cotton trade will, it Is
feared, extend to other important branches of
trade and cause still further depression in
business circles. Over 100000 operatives are
now on a strike.

impossible"
