REDUCINo THE REvENUE.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TO CONSIDER THE REV.
NUE. BILL.


NUE. BILL.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Sixty representa-
tives attended the$Republican caucus to-
night to consider the subject of reducing the
internal revenue taxes, as contemplated by
the Kelley bill. The chairman stat that
his object in calling a caucus was that the
party might agree upon line of action and
thus avoid delays.
Mr.. Kelley asked the party to allow Gn
early consideration of the bill, without
amendment.
A protracted discussion ensued, in which
Messrs. Kssson and Mckinley advocated the
bill, and Mr.. Hazleton and others opposed it.
The opposition, while favoring slight re-
duction, were against any reduction of taxes
on whisky and cigars, believing that if any
reduction were made it should be upon sugar
and articles of necessity, rather than upon
luxuries, particularly those which could so
easily sustain the burden OF taxation as
whisky and tobacco.
Mr.. Haskell moved that the caucus agree
to pass the measure containing the frs. sec
ton of the Kel ey bill, which proposes TO
remove the tax on bank checks, bank de-
posits, bank capital, matches and proprietary
medicines; and that the second section, which
proposes to reduce the tax on cigars and the
special taxes on cigar and whisky dealers,
be rejected.
Mr.. Robinson [Ohio1 moved to amend by
striking out the provision relating to bank
deposits. Rejected-10 to so.
Mr.. McCook moved to strike out "bank
capital" Agreed to-49 to IL.
Pending the motion on the original Fropo-
sition of Mr.. Haskell, as amended, the caucus
adjourned.
The general sentiment, as indicated by the
discussion, was decidedly opposed to any
sweeping reduction of internal revenue taxes
OF he st1hi ri
the party will agree to pass the bill this ses-
sion removing the tax upon bank deposits,
bank checks, and proprietary medicines, but
that no action will be taken upon the other
features of the Kelley bill.

JEWISH REFUGEES.
The Convention OF Societies for Their
Relief, Held In New York on
Monday.

New YORK, June A convention of the
various Hebrew emigrant aid societies was
held to-day TO take concerted action for the
reception, distribution, transportation and
colonization of the Russian refugees. Presi-
dent Henry, of the society in this city, called
the convention to order. He said since De-
cember, 1881, $75,15S had been received,
1898 refugees cared for, and about 5000
located. But $7257 remained in the treasury.
A permanent organization was effected by
the election of Judge Isaacs as chairman,
Henry Mack, of Cincinnati, vice chairman,
and Arthur and Kursheedt, secretaries.
George S. Yates, of the Mansion House
Committee of London, addressed the conven-
ton on the subject of his mission to
America. He had advised the London or
ganization to completely trust the Hebrew
emigration aid society here; to withdraw
from the principle of disbursement by En-
gland; to allow New York to receive, dis
burse, and exercise full control over the
emigrants; that New York should receive
but certain number monthly; that remit
tance of funds be unfettered by religious
conditions; and finally that large sum
should be remitted here in place of indi-
vidual remittances as against each shipment
The subject OF colonization was discussed
and report by Julius Goldman, who had
been appointed to proceed West and report
what he considered the qualifications, etc.
required for successful colonists. He ad.
vised against transplanting the refugees in
masses, and thought two funds should be es
tablished-one for those equal to work OF
farms, and one for those not able TO stanC
hardships. At ths evening session resolu
tiops were adopted declaring the New YorI
society the parent society, and that it should
have control of the refugees.

called the convention to order and

Resolutions. 1t is understood the Democrats
and Republicans have not agreed whether a
Democrat or Republican shall be nominated
for congressma t-large. The Republicans
insist that they will not go over to the Dem
ocratic wing of the Liberal party. Many
Republican leaders here are in sympathy
with the convention but not with the del
egates.
Resolutions were adopted against the ex-
isting county government system of the
State, demanding a free ballot and fair
count, and favoring repeal of the prohibi-
tion act submitted TO the people last August

government, and urging the application OF

MODERN spiritualism was the topic dis
cussed BY the Euglish Episcopal Congress,
which met in Newcastle-upon-Tyn in Octo-
Der last. The discussion upon it developed
an amszing belief in spirits and mediumship
among the leading divines present. The
Rev. DIR. Thornton, speaking for many, said
boldly that he believed that "disembodied
spirits are able to hold converse with those
in the body, through the fundamentally of
MEDIUMS" He further said that 'they can
also apply force to physical objects, such IS
causing persons to write and produce sounds,
and indeed become SO materialized that
their forms may be recognized" Cenon
WIlberforce, sou CT the celebrated phil4n-
thropist, the first to move for the uacondi-
tionsl freedom OF the negro, said that spirit
uslism ia an appeal TO the yearniugs of
the SOUL" He says that thousands of pri-
vats homes have one or more in the family
VINO profess msdiumistic power. Then he
asks, in view OF the great Importance of the
questions involved, what ought the attitude
o; the Episcopal Church to BE-? and he
answers shat We should realize that the
strength of spiritualism lies in its knowl-
edge of the future life. The weakness of the
Church as oppOssd to the strength of modern
spirituAlism is in its Ignorance of that life
and in misapprehsnsion of scripture teach
irg concerning it." He agreed with DR..
Thornton in denouncing the frivolty with
which spirituslism is treated, and often by
church dignitsries, and said that ''for aught
we know the puzzling phenomena may be
new problem set by almighty God as trial
of our faith" When this is the standpoint
OF the teachers OF Christianity, it is obvious
that we have in spirituslism TO deal with no
mere commonplace iBfatuation which can
be brushed aside with indifference and con-
tempt.

BOB IHGERsoLL created CONSERVATION aud
alarm in New York when he accepted the
invitation to deliver the Grafton on Decora-
lion Day. Some of the people of the great
metropolis are very little, very provincial,
and, like all provincials, are intensely big
oted. They we're afraid OF the effect Inger-
SOILS presence as the selected orator would
have on the rising generation. Even Presi-
dent Arthur, Ex Senator Conkling, Mayor
Grace and other bigwigs were affected by the
fear and dread of the great inidel orator.
But they were present all the same, and
heard him to the end of what David Davis
pronounces "the most extraordinary address
ever delivered in this country" "Gath," !"
who was present, says that by the time In
gersoll finished he "looked like the most
christian person in the house-so manly,
just and generous were his utterances. He
reviewed the history of the United
States and the different wars it had
fought, ending with the rebellion. He did
not abuse the South, but only slavery,
which he charged the North with having
assisted to organize and perpetaate. There
was some scriptural imagery 10 bis rather
owery language, but nothing n fectiDg on
any mans faith. He made Decoration Day
about all that it was in New York. The
foolish attempt of intolerant people to rule
him out by writing letters TO the newspapers,
and asssiling the Grand Army for inviting
him, only dguified his selection, and brought
strong men and women from all conventicles
to satisfy their curiosity upon the Only man
who has been able to carry the sentiments of
Tom Payne to popularity, and, unlike
Payne, who was kept poor, Ingersoll has
made infdelity profitable" So much gained
for free speech.

IN THE COMMONS.

LONDON, June I'm the House of Com
mons the Repression bill was discussed to ad-
journment. Harcourt, home secretary, said
that the government was willing to accept
any amendment consistent with putting
down boycotting.
Cowen desired the same treatment for Irish
tenants as for English Trades Unionists.
Gladstone maintained that the bill secured
such treatment.
Dillon defended boycotting, and declared
that but for that system moonlight" out
RACES would have begun year earlier tn an
they did. They would not have begun at
all if the Land League had been left at lib
erty. He admitted the system of boycotting
had been grossly abused for the qualification
of private malice.
The debate was upon the amendment Of
fered by Charles Russell, Liberal member
for Dundalk, defining intimidation as threats
or acts OF violence to person or property, or
Indictment thereto.

PARTIAL TO THE SCOTS.
Queen Victoria has again bestowed upon
her Scottish subjects signal token OF favor.
When she and the Princess Beatrice left

people a fine entertainment, and he will dc
that without fail, because he is acknowl.

TIC EXPERIENCES
WASHINGTON, June THE Critic has the
following: Lieutenant Danenhower tells an
incident Of his Arctic experiences which will
prove of deep interest to our Catholic read
ers. He says: "After the sinking of the
vessel we landed, as you know, on the Sibe-
rian coast. After proceeding some distance
inland We met some of the native Indians,
whom we found, to our surprise, TO be chris
tians and Roman Catholics. After eating,
they crossed themselves, shook hands and
said: 'Pashee Ball. They also showed us
their crosses, which they kissed, and 1 was
very glad to have in my possession a certain
talisman (the lieutenant meant a miracu-
lous medal of the Blessed Virgin which
had been sent me by Catholic friend in
San Francisco, with the message that it had
been blessed by priest and would be sure
to be safe il / wore it. / did not have much
faith in this, however, but when L showed it
to the natives they kissed it devoutly.- 1t
was the only article in the possession of the
party, indeed, that indicated to the natives
that we were christians. You can imagine
our feelings at meeting these people, for they
were the first strangers whom we had seen
for more than two years, and l never before
felt 60 thankful to missionaries as did on
that day at finding that we were among
christian natives"

ANOTHER GLASGOW BANK DIRECTOR COM
NTTED FOR TRIAL.
One of the former directors of the unfor-
tunate City of Glasgow Bank, JAMES Nicol
Fleming, has been accused of embezzlement
of the banks funds and committed for trial
on that charge. The sum in question is
declared to be nearly S5,000,O00. The most
recent statement of the affairs Of the bank
modi6es somewhat the one which was put
forth just previous to it. That statement
gave the assets as 81 SAC, 900, and the liabili-
ties as S6,690,000, thus showing surplus OF
about S850,O00. But it is found that the
estimate of S4OO0, 900 In New Zealand stock,
which formed a considerable part of the
assets, was too high, being based on 80 per
cent. for the preferred and so for the ordi-
nary. 1t is now said that, in order to effect
