ST. LOUIS, March ia Sedalia special TO
the Post-Dispatch says the situation remains
materially unchanged. superintendent Ha-
ger requested the Mayor this morning to swear
in Pinkertons detectives, but the Mayor re

superintendent SeLt for the executive commit
tee of the strikers this morning and asked
them if they had not violated the contract
made last night to allow freight trains to run?
They replied they had not, as that promise
was made with the understanding that freight
barges were to be run if men could be found
to run them, Three attempts were made last
night to take out trains, and several this morn
ing, all of which failed on account of the mer
employed leaving the trains. A committee Of
citizens and strikers who went to Jefferson
City have not yet returned.

THE New York World dominates
Mr.. Thurman for minister to France.
1t says, che speaks French with rare
fuency. He loves French literature
and he is as familiar with French his
tory, political, military and social, as
he is with the history of his own land.
He would enjoy residence in Paris
and he would represent our govern
ment there with dignity and efficien-
cy." Mr.. Thurman may be the very
man for the French mission, but if
the post of honor be the English mis-
zion, he deserves that.

adjustment was reached, just on the
heels of foolish statement, going the
rounds of some of the papers, that Mr..
Gould had brought about all this
trouble as a reflection upon the in
auguration of a Democratic President,
touching its influence upon the BUSH
ness and employment of the country.
Mr.. TILDEN is quoted as expressing
a firm conviction that the President
will be equal to the greatest task of
purifying the departments OF cor
ruption. He says of Mr.. Cleveland: "He
has one great qualification that will
enable him to overcome all obstacles
and danger-a high-minded singleness
of purpose and devotion to the trust
he has accepted. With his compare
tive youth, absence from distraction
by family care, love of hard work and
determination to succeed, there
is bright prospect of a
successful and pure administra-
tion." Evidently Mr.. Tilden thinks

Col. S. D. JACKMAN, of San Mar

the West as a man of undaunted
| courage and of the most sterling in
tegrity, and the business OF his office
will be conducted without crooks or
twists or shortcomings of any sort
He will make a devoted and compe,

bitterly opposed by the head of the
present state administration.

PROBABLY the Mahdi correctly
estimates the people of Arabia as a
set of ignorant fools, when he an
nounces, that when he arrives at Mecca
there will be such displays in the sky
as will prove his Divine mission.
However, the same game has been
played by Joe Smith, who, amid the
intelligence, education and civilization
of America, has found thousands on
thousands of converts to firm belief
in the Divine origin of the Mormon
bible-the Book of Mormon. The
Arabians will, of course, believe the
Mahdi,as the population of the Soudan
have done.

THE EVOLUTION OF THEOLOGY,
Or Theology of Evolution Beecher's Lat
est Departure.

Or Theology of Evolution Beecher's Lat
est Departure.
NEW YORK, June 90 Mr. Beecher in his
sermon Sunday morning said regeneration
the new birth-fittei in perfectly with
the system of evolution, but declared the
idea that any grace was bestowed in infant
baptism an innocent delusion," which
he would not fight by reius-
ing baptism if asked to perform
the ceremony. because many good people
were comforted by tie delusion. OF adult
baptism he declared his disbelief in any liz
fiuence outside of the persons own conscience
and will Generally he took ground against
original sin, or the sin of Adam, being pres
ent in any one.
Referring to opinions as to a clsrgyman's
right to be in a church when he repudiates
one or more of the doctrines thereof, Mr.
Beecher said no church had right to exist
that had such rules and regulations that a
live christian could not glance up to-
IL he did not believe in re-
generation in baptism and his church did
the church must change, because it should
be such body that every man who tried
and did good to his fellowman could heartily
support it.
To a gentleman in Brooklyn, who wrote
to him asking him to define his belief, Mr.
Beecher writes that he believes in per-
sonal God, universal sin, need and possibil-
ity of conversion, Jesus Christ the manifes-
ton of God in human conditions, His
Office in redemption supreme, and by
Him he proposes to be saved
and brought to heaven. He rejects the
Calvinistic doctrine of atonement, the fall
of the human race in Adam, and declares
the race was not lost, but has steadily grown
better from the creation. Finally he says
the newspaper reports of his sermons on this
subject are not reliable and that he would
revise and publish them in authoritative
| form

CHICAGO, June 90. Rev. H. W. Thomas
has written lettsr to the effect that he is
substantially in harmony with the new
theology propounded by Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. Among other things, Dr. Thomas
says: at seems evident that if religious
belief is. to be vital-is to be anything
more than an Indifferent assent to
what neither the reason nor the
heart can believe-thers must be some
restatement of the hitherto dark problems
of the government of God and the destiny
of the race. Nor does it seem possible for
thoughtful minds to any longer accept the
old views of the verbal or equal and plenary
inspiration Of all parts Of the Bible And
there seems to be duty laid upon this age
the duty of making lighter the burdens of
belief, and making palmer and more rational
the way of faith"

Another Phase of the Preller Mystery.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June % Mr. James F.
Brady. the local representative Of Cooks
tourist agency of London, England has just
received long letter from the home office
asking him to use every effort to find out
whether it was Preller's body that
was in q trunk in the Southern
hotel Before Mr.. Preller's departure
he insured his life in the agency
for about 100000. ThGt excited notice,
and then after the news Of his murder the
apparent Indifference of his relatives to the
disposal of his remains aroused suspicion
afresh, which has been confirmed by the
eagerness Of the relatives to obtain the in
surance money. The agency determined, in
view of the published statements of Max
wells attenpt to buy body in Boston, to
refuss paying the money until every doubt
of Preller's death is removed.

LONDON, june 22.-The disaster in the

first reported. The number Of miners now
known to have been killed is 16S, and many
more are still unaccounted for This dis
aster and the recent one at the
Philadelphia colliery, near Durham, are
more than usually severe in the
hardships they inaict on the sur
vivors on account of the prevailing
poverty caused by scarcity of work for sev-
eral months throughout the coal and iron
country. The Golfers families have already
been pinched to the verge OF despair but
there is greater misery ahead for many. The
number of wage-earhers now killed repre-
ssnts fully 500 widows and orphans Not
one in fifty has a shilling saved. Their
neighbors are equally poor, AMI the loss of
husband and father leaves to m any of them
only the alternative between starvation and
