A COMMON PRIME MERIDIAN.
Disagreement Among the Scientists as to the
Object of the International Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Oct I'm the international
prime meridian conference, to-day a resolution
was adopted providing that the meetings of the
conference be private, but that certain scien-
fists should be admitted and allowed to partici-
pate in the discussions upon invitation of the
president Another resolution was adopted,
declaring il the opinion of the conference that a
common prime meridian for all nations was de-
sirable Professor Rutherford one of the dele
gates representing the United States then
offered the following:
Resolved That the conference proposes to govern
ments represented the adoption a standard merid-
ian that passing through the center and which has its
instrument at Greenwich"
This resolution was opposed by the representa-
tlves of France and gave rise to an animated, and
at times heated debate. Lefaure and Jaussen, the
French delegates, contended that the object OF
the conference was merely to discuss the gener-
al question of a common prime meridian, and
not to select and establish such meridian.
The representatives of Great Britain and the
United States, on the other hand maintained
that the desirability of a common prime meri-
dian was conceded; there was necessity for
further discussion or consideration of that ques-
ton, and the thing to be done now was to ascer-
tain whether the delegates could agree upon a
particular meridian.
Count Lewenhaupt, the representative of Swe-
den and Norway, said that as he understood
the object of the confer ence it to select and
| recommend some particular meridian for gen
eral adoption. The selection made by the con
ference however, could not itself bind the gov
ernments represented. He, as the representa-
tive of Sweden and Norway, might come to an
agreement with other delegates present as to a
prime meridian but he could do nothing more
than recommend it to his government, and the
latter might adopt it or not. He did not agree
with the French delegates, that the conference
should limit itself to mere general discussion of
the question. He thought they should select a
common prime meridian, and recommend its
adoption leaving the respective governments to
act upon the recommendations as might seem to
them best
After good deal of discussion in the course
of which the French delegates manifested some
feeling and disposition to resist strenuously
the adoption of Prof. Ruthegfords resolution,
the conference adjourned till Monday Oct. 6.
Officers of the United States Bureau of Navi-
cation express the opinion that the conference
will either adopt the meridian of Greenwich or
come to no agreement whatever. One of the
foreign delegates expressed the opinion, to-
night that the conference would not be able to
come to any agreement The French delegates,
he said. manifested determination not to con
sent to the recommendation of the meridian of
Greenwich, and representatives of Great Britain
and the United Seates would not he thought, be
satisfied with any meridian likely to meet the
views of France.

GREENvILLE, Tenn. Oct. Captain E. T.
Johnson yesterday waived preliminary examina-
ton before justice and took his case before
Judge Hacker, of the Circuit Court, by habeas
corpus On an informal hearing he was admit
ted to bail in the sum of $4,000 which was
promptly given. Ten of our best men signed the
bond. johnson was released and is at his hotel
The facts attending the killing were shown to be
substantially as stated in the first dispatches,
and Henry's ISLANDERS of the dead woman were
fully proved. The statement in some of the pa
pers that Johnson slept in a stable the night be-
fore the homicide was shown to be false. He
walked down the road over mile, and was seen
by several persons. He walked openly into the
store. A member of the coroners jury testified
that Henry's pistol was found half drawn from
his pocket. He had advanced nearly the entire
length of the room to meet johnson, and they
were but four feet apart when johnson fired.
Henry's clothing was burned by the powder
from Johnson's gun.

THAT BOX OF OINTMENT.
How the Soul of the Good Sentinel Editor
was Warmed by DIR. Alabaster.
Chicago News.


The able editor of the indianapolis Sentinel
Colonel John G. Shoemaker has a great grief
resting on his soul and gnawing at his vitals Just
now We do not mean that libel suit. We al
lude to the sermon which was preached last Sun
day by the Rev. Dr. Alabaster, pastor of the
Meridian-street Methodist Church, indianapolis.
TO which church Colonel Shoemaker is a devout
cash subscriber. 1t appears that in the very
face of Colonel Sheemaker's devotion to this
church. the Rev. DIR. Alabaster had the temerity
and the cruelty to preach a sermon last Sabbath
bearing directly upon the qualifications of Colo
mel Shoemakers candidate for the presidency.
We hope we offend no sentiment of delicacy
when we say that the subject of the reverend
gentleman's discourse was the seventh command
ment, as conveyed to sinful humanity in the
fourteenth verse of the twentieth chapter
of Exodus. Col. Shoemaker was surprised,
amazed astounded; can see the truly good
man rousng himself from his calm slumbers in
the corner of the family pew as the drift of the
preachers sermon broke in upon his somnolent
soul; how must his expression of calm piety and
rapturous complacency have given way to look
of commingled horror and ehagrn 1t requires
no extraordinary fight of fancy to imagine the
uneasiness with which Col. Shoemaker sat
through that dreadful exposition; how he must
have writhed, and squirmed and wriggled and
winced-how he must have glared at the Rev
Alabaster, and mentally heaped Ossas upon Pc
lions of bitter epithets upon that godly persons
headl We do not assert it for fact
but we state 1t as probability that
when the contribution plate reached
Col Shoemaker's pew last Sunday noon it
received, instead of the customary So gold picece
nothing of more worldly value than hanky-
panky chip. or cough lozenge, or an old button
We observe that Col Shoemaker's valuedHgand
enterprising newspaper devated from its time
honored Monday morning custom and did not
publish the Rev. Alabasters sermon of the pre-
cedng day; alas, it did not give even synopsis
of tho Rev. Alabaster's discourse-nay, verify
not even the text thereof. And now, to add in
suit to injury, comes John c. New, the worldly
and sinful editor of that scofing sheet named the
indianapolis Journal and encompasses the truly
good but chastened Col. Shoemaker round about
with scorn and ridicule, harassing him with div
ers torments touching the Rev. Alabasters SER
mon, on account of the which the truly good Col
Shoemaker's soul is already bowed in dust and
and travaeth in sackcoth and ashes.

CHICAGO Tribune: The correspondent of the
New York Times writing from Milwaukee,
Wis, says: 1.-THE Prohibition State committee
has its headquarters at Madison, where the ban
of st. John flaps in close company with that
of Cleveland" This tells the whole story. St.
Johns ears also flap in close company with
those of Cleveland" By their fruits we shall
know them.
DEMOCRATIC efforts to adjust" the tariff
question in different parts of the country remind
a contemporary of the following 'little story"
as Mr.. Lincoln would say: "Old R was a
famous member of the ancient and honorable
artillery corps. One day, when marching
through Beacon street in column OF review be-
fore the Governor, his steps were noticed to be
very irregular. Uncle R said friend,
you must have been taking too much tangle-
foot Not bit of it, said R. There is a
band both before and behind our company, and
am trying to march to two tunes"
