DIR. NEWMANS STATUS.
The Council Finds that He Is Not Minis
ter of the Congregational Church.

New YORK, March 13.-The committee of five
appointed by the Congregational council to re-
port on the case of DR.. Newman submitted their
findings this morning, and the council went into
executive session. which has lasted several
hours 1t is stated DIR. Newman has notified
DR.. Buckley, the publisher, that if he executes
the threat to publish an article derogatory to
Newman he must take the consequences of pub
fishing libeous articles.
AT the afternoon session the report of the com
mittee was read 1t declares the council has
been deeply grieved by the trouble in the church
and tue dishonor it has brought on the church.
The council has not seen any spirit of alienation
so great that it cannot be overcome. The church
is a congregational church by its doctrine and
manual, and DR.. Newman admitted the same.
Though some irregularities prevailed in the issu-
ing of the call, on the WHOLE it was regular and
the council concluded it had been validly called.
On the first proposition, "What are DR.. New
mans relations to this church, the report says:

oons of the general council of last year which de-
clare that council should be invited to install pas.
tor; full congregational pastorate requires instaa-
ton. A minister who is not member of the church
cannot be a full pastor.
This council finds DR. Newman is still a Methodist
pastor and amenable to the laws of the NJ E. Church
Dr. Newman understood the call made him to become
pastor OF Congregational Church when he accepted

bismarck and the Hog.

ST. LOUIS March 13.-The Westliche Post will
publish tomorrow extracts from the official dis
patch of Prince Bismarck to the German consuls
in the United States regarding the prohibition
of American pork. Bismarck instructs consus
to do everything in their power to cultivate
friendly relations between Germany and the
United States. He says the prohibition
of American pork arose altogether from
sanitary reasons, and has no unfrendly charac-
ter whatever and intimates that it would be to
the interest of the United States to adopt such
sanitary measures as exist in Europe, and there
by put Germany in position to permit the i'm
portation of American pork. The dispatch
shows conclusively that the German Chancellor
does not want to provoke retaliation, but to
promote friendship between the United States
and GERMANY

Action of the House Committee.

WASHINGTON March 13.-The House commit
tee on foreign affairs to-day considered the
aetion of Bismarck on the Lasker resolution.
Mr.. Phelps proposed report be submitted to
the House declaring, in effect, that the wise
course of the Secretary of State relieved the
House from the necessity of any further action.
Mr.. Eaton said the act of Bismarck was an
insult, and as such should be resented in terms
which would leave no doubt of its emphatic dis
approval.
A variety of views, intermediate between those
of Phelps and Eaton, who represented the ex
tremes, were expressed by other members of the
committee. Suggestions were made that words
condemning the act of the German Chancellor
should be accompanied by expressions of regard
for the German nation.
Mr.. Rice said that while he believed the State
Department had left the matter in the best pos
sible position, yet, the insult had been directed
to the House of Representatives, that body
should express in dignifed terms its resentment.
The matter he thought, ought not to be left en-
tirely with the Department of State Further
consideration of the subject referred to a
subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Curtin,
Eaton, Phelps and Rice

Angry Correspondence Between Our Min

Constantinople Cable Special.
A passage at arms occurred last week between
General Wallace and the Grand vizier Acting
under instructions from Washington, General
Wallace has lately been pressing the Porte very
hard for a settlement of the petroleum question,
and American claims generally
The Grand Vizier, irritated at such persis
tency, refused TO receive Minister Wallace
when the latter sought an audience for the
special purpose of demanding some official
answer to his various long standing demands
pleading an engagement on important business
An angry official correspondence ensued in
which the pretension was advanced that minis
ters have not the same right to approach the
Grand Vnier at all times as ambassadors pos
sess.
Said Pasha has expressed an intention to ask
for General Wallace's recall Such proceed
ing, however, is very improbable. The Porte
dare not do so without the sanction of the
Sultan, with whom General Wallace continues

GoRDoN,s CHARACTERISTICS.


A Singular Mixture of Tenderness and Stern
ness, Courage and Humility.
Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, March 1.-The Egyptian Soudan
still absorbs public attention, the most promi-
nent figure there being General Gordon. Sent
out with single attendant to pacify a rebellious
province as large as England and France com
bined, his commission was, perhaps, the most
extraordinary that human being ever under
took. But the task was no more exceptional
than is the character of the man. "Chinese"
Gordon, as he is familiarly called, is certainly
one of the most unique personages of the age
In his makeup there is blending of tenderness
and sternness, of courage and diffidence of hu-
mility and piety, of self-confdcnce and self
abuegation such as do not converge in more than
one man out of u million No country but Eng
land, and England as it is to-day, could produce
such a genius, and so peculiarly English are
some elements in his strange compositon--nota-
bly, the association with his secular duties of
those thoughts and motives which link man in
close affinity with the Supreme Being that the
people of some other nationaties will find il
difficult to either appreciate or fully understand

CHINESE MARRIAGES IN GEORGIA.
A Great Social Sensation, Followed by Riots,
Lawsuits and Separation.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March l3.-Connected with the
ejectment of Chinese merchants from Waynes-
boro last spring was little romance, which has
just ended disastrously. Willie Loo-Chong, a
spruce young Chinaman, began business in this
city and prospered beyond expectation. Among
his friends was Mr.. Fulcher, father of bloom
ing daughter of fifteen, whom the young China
man married. The husband eated with his
~pecuniary and social progress wrote to his
friends in California that Georgia was the ''place
to get Mclean wifee' Two of them came and
began business in Waynesboro, which was al
ready disgusted by the previous marriage. The
evident amatory intentions OF the men famed
this indignation into flame, and resulted in their
expulsion from town by an armed masked mob,
which also upturneG and DESTROYED their goods.
This matter came before the Chinese minister
at Washington, was made the subject of an in
teresting correspondence, and is now undergoing
investigation in the federal court in Savannah,
through suit for $4,000 damages. The pro.
ceedings are upheld by Secretary Frelinghuysen.
who has promised the Chinese minister ample
reparation for his countrymen through the
court
The Cinnamon of the city then became bolder
than ever, and last August still another mixed
marriage took place, which had the full approba-
tion of the brides friends and relatives few
weeks later the Chinese husband asked his white
wife to do some very unamerican thing, and on
her refusal he turned her out of doors and threw
her clothing out after her. From this time the
happiness of Georgias Chinese colony seemed to
be sadly marred. Through it all Mrs Willie
Loo Chong reigned as social queen. But lately
she, too, has failed to meet the ideal of her yell
low husband. Quarrels ensued in which it is
said Loo Chong beat his wife numerically and
now she has quit him and returned to the pro
lection of har fathers roof
