The Prayer and Faith Cure.

CHICAGO, June 26.-At a meeting Of ths
Methodist ministers held yesterday afternoon,
DR.. Adam Miller read paper on "The Prayer
and Faith Cure" Referring to the case of
Garfield, he said the doctors cut an artificial
canal through the poor sufferer in trying to
make out the course Of the bullet-a hole that
was gold mine to them; the most expensive
hole for its size any Government ever paid for;
horrible bore in a wrong direction; but the
doctors worked it night and day, and fibally
made S20,OOO cut of the scientific bluuder
Speaking OF the prayer cure, he said the Apos-
tie Paul could not remove his "thorn in the
flesh or bodily affection, although he tried
the prayer cure three times, and had finally 10
content himself with grace sufficient to be r
his affliction. There was no objection to faith
full aud earnest prayer, and no one dared s,y
questioned that it had any direct influence ON
the cure of disease.

WARRINGTON, June 26.-The regular Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the mem
Ders, except Frelinghuysen and Teller. The
principal question considered was la relation
TO the alleged shipment OF pauper immigrants

tion Of the Secretary of tbs Treasury who tel
egraphed instructions to the collector OF cue
toms at New York, to cooperate with the COM
missioner of immigration ut hat port to pre-
vent the landing of all immigrants found to be
paupers within the meaning OF the law. In
the event that such pauper immigrants may

case with the large number shipped ON steam

take all practicable measures to have them re-
shipped to the port from whence they came.

RAILWAY NOTES.


A Montreal despatch of yesterday says the
contract for another great railway enterprise
was awarded Monday The project is to build
a new line, to be called the Ontario and Pa
cifc Railway, from Cornwall, on the
banks OF the ST. Lawrence, to Sault Ste.
Marie TO connect with the Northern Pacific
Railway over the big bridge at the western
terminus. The distance is 700 miles. 1t is
claimed that this will make the most direct
and shortest line west from the Atlantic sea-
board, and will give the Northern Pacific an
advantage over both the Canadian Pacific and
the Grand Trunk from ocean to ocean. The
Dominion government charter gives the COM
pany power TO build bridge over the st. Law
renee, and American connections are already
secured from the border line to Portland, Bos-
ton and New York. A large part of the new
road will run almost parallel With the Canad-
ian Pacific to Sault Ste. Marie. 1t will re-
ceive large bonuses from municipalities and
other resources. The contract was given to
L. M Slszts OF Philadelphia, and the promot-
ers are American and Canadian capitalists.
Bonds to the amount Of .S12 ,c0O,00 will be is
sued. This will be tremendous rival to the
Canadian Pacific. Dancan Mcintyre and r.
B. Angus, directors, and Van Horne, general
manager, went today in haste to the Met
apedia fishing grounds, down the st. Law
renee, to meet President Stephen OF the Ca
madam Pacific in regard to this threatening
scheme The project, which has been kept
secret, has created sensation in Canada. 1t
Is popular, as Canadians have been crying out
against monopolies.
