LohD CECIL, OF ENGLAND, HOLDS A SECOND ADJ
VENT MEETING IN BALTIMORE
The Baltimore american of to-day saws: Lord
A. p Cecil, the English nobleman who has been
preaching the Second Advent OF Christ In the
missions in New York, held service here last
night In a hall at the corner OF Saratoga aud
Paca streets. He was assisted by Mr. Alfred
Mace. The congregation numbered about
Twenty-Five people. When Lord Cecil came in
he walked To the head oi the room and knel. on
the floor, his head resting in his arms on a chair
After a silent prayer the arose and took his seat
behind the table, and soon after began services.
Lord Cecil is a tall man. with q flowing brow n
beard, which he strokes continually. HIS ewes
appear inyoluntarily TO seek the ceiling and l,e
Is fervent and sincere In his utterances. When
at prayer both hands are clssped across iis
forehead, an when he Is al loss for words he
repeats a former sentence. When he wishes To
particular idea. he brings down his hand with
great force on the table before him. Last ni lat
he began by praying for the people OF BalImor.,
and deplored the TACT that the churches were %
empty, while crowds had assembled 10 view
the fire. He also referred TO the attraction pco-
pie find at newspaper Offices, about which they
gather TO scan the Bulletins proclaiming world
ly matters. and ut the same time neglect the
Gospel. He prayed that they might be saved.
In his sermon he likened the throwing over.
board OF Jonah and his being swallowed by the
whale TO the rejection by the unbelieyers of
Christ. He spoke with much feeling and i'm
pressed his audience.

A Chinamau,s SUIT.

"A TEST CASE IN San fhASCISCO.
The case of Jung All Lung, on appeal from the
L. ). district court 10 the u s. circuit court,
was submitted to Judge sawyer Saturday after.
noon. Lung was formerly resident OF this
country and left for China after having obtained
a return certificate, which he claimed was stolen
from him i'm China subsequently he returned
to san Francisco and a writ OF habeas corpus
was sued out i'm his behalf In the district court.
The district attorney interviewed on behalf Of
the United states, and denied the jurisd lotion
of the court on three grounds: First that the
Chnaman was not restrained OF his liberty, be-
cause he could go anywhere I'm the world except
to the United STATES; second, that all such cases
come under the Jurisdiction OF the collector Of
the port; and third, that the secondary evidence
relating TO the Chinaman's prior residence was
inadmisSible when the law prescribes the Ger.
tificate as the sole means OF Identification. This
plea was overruled by U. 5. District Judge Hon.
man, and Judge Sawyer Saturday am rmed the
Judgment of the lower court. Heconcluded b 10
decision by saying: "In order TO present all
these questions aud obtain ruling on them, I
shall sustain the decision Of Judge Hoffman
and let the case go TO the supreme court on
those points" District Attorney Hilborne i'm
mediately gave notice CT appeal This is a case
on which much Congressional anti-ChiDcse legis-
lation will depend, hence IL 10 considered of
great importance.
