Assistant Secretary Coon Marked for
pecapItation.

New York, Oct 23.-A Washington spe-
cial to the Tribune says: Assistant Secreta-
ry Coon of the Treasury Department has left
for the North, on leave of absence for a
week. on important business. 1t is under
stood from his friends here that the business
is probably more important to Mr.: Coon him
self than to anybody else. In other words,
he has been officially advised that his resig
nation will soon be asked for, and he is prob
ably looking about to find what he can do in
private life Assistant Secretary Coon has
been recognized as the active, working chief
of the Treasury Department under several
heads. and no man has ever held the position
who has evinced greater familiarity with his
duties, or more painstaking fidelity in their
discharge. Mr.. Coon's position has been one
great source of the confidence the civil ser
vice reformerS continue to profess in the
sincerity of the Cleveland administration.
They pointed to his case as resembling that
of the under secretaries in the English gov
ernment who remain through all changes OF
the cabinet heads for their respective depart
ments
Assistant Secretary Coon, of the Treasury
Department is in this city. He was asked
tonight about the rumor that Secretary Man.
ming had asked for his resignation, and Mr.
Coon said this was true, and that he had to-
day mailed his resignation to Mr. Manning.
The secretary, in asking Mr.. Coon's resigna-
ton, had told him he did not do so because
of any dissatisfaction with any official act.
Mr.. Coon said he believed Manning wanted
Democrats about him, and that was, he be-
lieved, the cause of the change. Mr. Coon

THE UNIvERsALIsTs.
The Convention Proposes to Raise
SIS, for Education of Ministers.

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-The delegates to the
Universalist General Convention met again
yesterday in Brooklyn with President Joy
in the chair. The first subject debated was
the question of the extension of the Sunday
school work, and motion was made for a
committee to consider advanced methods in
Sabbath schools. The whole subject was
finally referred to the committee on the
Rhode Island catechism. The report of the
committee on ministerial increase was then
brought up. More funds were needed for
the education of young men for the ministry.
DR.. Sweetser said that the sum of $4,000
could easily be raised by the assessment of
674 cents upon each UniverSalist family in
the United States. Dr. Atwood suggested
that the sum be fixed at $4,000, and an
amendment was made to reduce the sum to
$4,000. A motion to refer the whole matter
to the board of trustees with power was lost.
A compromise was then decided upon of
1000, aud the convention voted to raise
that sum for the education of ministers. In
the evening three meetings were held in diff
ferent churches to accommodate the crowds
of people. Addresses were made by Rev. l..
D. Boynton of Minnesota, Henry b. Metcalf
of Rhode Island, Rev. Samuel w. Sample of
Rhode Island, Rev Dr. Miner of Boston, DR..
Pullman of Baltimore, DR.. ReXford of De-
trOit and Others

CHURCH CONGRESS.
Close of the Great Episcopal Meet
ing i'm New Haven,

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 23.-The Episcopal
church congress which closed here today has
been of unfagging interest. The morning
topic was s'Deaconesses and Sisterhoods." "
Rev. Thomas M. Peters, d. D., of New
York, was the first speaker, and said there
was indispensable work in the churches that
could be performed in no other way than
through the art of sisterhoods, and he
strongly favored them. Rt. Rev. w. G.
Doane, D. D., LID, Bishop of Albany, firm
ly believed in and advocated sisterhoods and
their irrevoeable VOWS and pledges, but he
believed that no one should give herself to
the work until old enough to know her own
mind unless she has shown elements OF char
acter which imply suitableness and stead
fastness, or without probation long enough
adventure. A snumber of other speakers
also favored sisterhoods, among whom were
Lord Bratazoon of London, Rev. Arthur
Brooks of New York, Rev. Arthur G. A.
Hall of Boston, Rev. DR.. Hopkins Of Penn
sylvania, and Rev. Dr., Gallandet Of New
York. The last subject discussed which was
at the afternoon session was, "Place and
methods of Bible study in the Christian
Life" All the speakers favored practical
Bible study. Rev: W. Hay Aitken the dis
land said: "Study your Bible critically and
consecutively, and observe the following
points of great Importance in connection
herewith: First, sustained habits of prayer :;
second, regular observance of communion
third eXpediency of engaging in active reli-
gious work; fourth, carefulness in the selec-
tion of ones associates and friends"
Among others who spoke on the subject
were Rev. George VIM. Douglass, D. d., of
New York, Rev. Charles Henry Babcock of
Ohio, and Russell Sturgis of Boston.
After the Gloria in Excelsis had been sung
Bishop Williams pronounced the benediction
and the congress adjourned. Over 10000
people have attended the sessions.

RAILWAY MATTERS.

The Pullman sleeping car Augusta has
been sent to the works in Chicago, where it
will be entirely rebuilt and remodeled. The
New Brunswick and Garden City will also
be sent to the shops as soon as they can be
spared from the line The parlor cars on the
Maine Central line are soon to receive
thorough overhauling The Pullman cars
are all kept in fine condition.
Mr.. D. E. McFee, engineer in charge OF
the International railroad survey, reports
that the work of locating the line will be
completed about the middle of December.
The road itself will be finished inside OF two
years and operations will be commenced at
once. There is about 1000 feet of bridging to
be done at Moosehead Lake and at Malta
wamkeag the bridge will be about 800 feet
long. In order to finish these structures the
contracts will have to be let very soon.
The Bangor Commercial states that the
Maine Central is doing larger business
than ever before in the history of the road.
Over one hundred freight cars left the Ban
gor station Wednesday for the West, and
about that number left the station for the
eastern division of the road. The increase
of business caused by the opening OF the
st. John bridge has materially increased the
through business of the New Brunswick
and Maine Central roads,
The Sandy River railroad directors say
they know nothing of the proposed plan to
widen their road and continue it to Rangeiey
Lakes.

EURoPE's DOCK YARDS.
Naval Constructor Hichborn's Report
Upon Them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Naval Constructor
Philip Hichborn, who was sent last year to
visit the principal dock yards of Europe, has
submitted to the Secretary of the Navy a
long report He visited the yards of Great
Britain, France, Germany and Russia, and
he describes technically and with much de-
tail the ships, docks, discipline and working
systems of these institutions, and the vessels
lately finished or in process of construction.
In the past fifteen years, he says, the British
government has expended $217, 10000 upon
its navy, and since 1867 the German navy
has cost $140,000,000.
In his chapter upon torpedo boats, he says
these vessels are now considered so essential
that no European navy of note has fleet of
less than fifty, while the stronger powers
have fleets of hundred or more OF the
seaworthiness of such boats, he says there
can no longer be any doubt, and the de-
fensive value of fleet of cruising torpedo
boats, he says, can hardly be overrated, and
no blockade can be maintained in their
presence. Referring to the Chilian war
ship Esmeralda. he says: .''On account Of
her small coal supply, yulnerability, un-.
sheathed bottom and insignificant spread OF
sail, / am unable to see the propriety OF
building similar vessels for the American

A GREAT LAND SALE.
About 3, 900 Acres In Northwest
ern Minnesota Bought by Syndi-
cate,

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The largest sale OF
land ever made by the Northern Pacific Rail-
way was consummated yesterday by the
unanimous action of the board of directors
of the Northern Pacific Railway in New
York. The tracts sold comprise a number
of townships in northwestern Minnesota,
Amounting in all to about $4,000 acres more
or less. The amount realized by the compa--
ny is not exactly known, as it will depend
upon the grading of the timber land, but the
land commissioner estimates that at least "
per acre will be netted by the company, or
total sum of more than 100000. The pur-
chase money is part in cash and the rest,
say 100000, in preferred stock. This Will
retire from circulation over 5000 shares OF
that stock. The purchasers are number OF
capitalists headed by Charles Watrons OF
New York, and the sale is supposed to
have been brought about by Senator Sabln
of Minnesota, who is also member of the
purchasing syndicate. The great body OF the
lands are heavily timbered and it is the IN
tention of the new owners to begin the man
ufacture of lumber on a large scale at once.
The result will be large addition of popu-
lation to the northwestern part of Minnesota
and considerable business to the Northern
Pacific Railroad. The negotiations for the
sale of the land have been going on for about
a year. The Northern Pacific Company
since its reorganization has sold over $500
600 acres of land for more than $40 1000 00O
Other heavy land sales are likely. Neg0tia-
tions for 10000 acre and a $4,000 acre tract
are in progress, and there is a universal In
quiry for small lots

RIEL's CASE.

LONDON, Oct. 23-The Times says: The
Judgment in the Riel case leaves Canada free
to act as she thinks best. 1t is the universal
opinion in England that Riel deserves
death, and if he be executed the justice OF
the decision will not be questioned here.
TORONTO, Oct. 23.-A special from Ottawa
says: At the Cabinet meeting yesterday af-
ternoon it was decided to postpone Rleps
execution until Nov. IL. French Canadians
still express confidence that Riel will not be
hanged. They base their hopes on the rec
ommendation to the mercy of the Regina
jury.
TORONTO, Oct. 23.-Referring to the de-
cision of the Privy Council in the Riel ap-
peal case, the Mail says ''The only plea now
left to Riels friends is one of insanity, but
as the jury which is the sole judge of such
questions could not be convinced that Rlel
did not know that he was doing wrong it
follows that the verdict cannot now be
changed ON the ground of the prisoners in
sanity, unless new evidence has in the
meantime come to light. Such a thing it is
not pretended has happened, and we pre-
sumo the sentence of the court will be duly
carried out and Riel executed for his crime.

sentence shall be carried out"
