Congress of Churches held a meeting here
today to plan the next meeting of the Con-
gross. In response TO circulars sent out
some time ago asking for topics for the Con-
gress to discuss and for the choice of city
where the next meeting may be held, three
hundred replies were received from promi-
nent divines ell over the nation, and the COM
mittee had over 400 subjects suggested. From
these programme was selected, but it will
not be made public until the speakers and es-
sayists chosen have been heard from and ac-
cepted their assignments.
Among those heard from are Henry Ward
Beecher, Bishop Potter, Thos. X. Beeher.
DR.. Pentacost; in fact, representative men
of all denominations wrote responses, sug-
gested topics, and expressed intere:t in and
goodly wishes for this church unity move
ment. New Haven, Boston, Albany, Phila
delphia and Indianapolis were cities nomi-
mated as places for holding Congress. There
was no decision, but some western city will
probably be chosen. The meeting will be
held in May.

MAINE DINPATCHES,
MAINE PENSION AGENT.
How Mr.. Anderson's Appointment is
Regarded at the Capital.

BosToN, Feb. 4.
A Washington special to the Boston Jour-
nal says: No objections are heard to the
confirmation of John d. Anderson as pension
agent of Maine. The only points that have
maze against him in Washington have been
that he has relative in office in the person
or Collector Anderson and that another rela-
tive resident in distant State holds small
consulate in Canada. But the President ap-
pointed Anderson largely on his record a. a
soldier and although it was suggested to him
that there were other persons by the name of
Anderson in the public service, he did not
think the objection of sufficient weight As
Anderson is appointed to fill vacancy he

troversy on suspensions

On motion of Mr.. Herbert of Alabams
bill for the retirement of certain naval off.
GERS was committed to the naval committee
and At so the House went into q committee
of the whole, Mr.. Oates of Alabama in the
chair, for further consideration of the ship
ping bill. the pending amendment being that
offered by Mr.. Holman of Indiana, limiting
the compensation of collectors, inspectors
and shipping commissioners After short
debate the amendment was Withdrawn.
Mr.. DuHn of Arkansas supported the bill
and pictured the burdens under which the
shipping interest was suffering. There was
but one road TO relief and that was to remove
the restrictions on that interest and open the
way for people to do shipping business at a
profit. Until this was made possible thev
would never do it. Nobody would put cap
ital into business taxed at 144 per cent If
the removal of the taxation was indirect the
subsidy of gold would help the country. 1t
was the end of all argument for the reduction
Of taxation. All taxes that rested on the
shipping trade entered into and swelled the
costs of the products of the country, and the
products imported into the country
so burden of the costs bore upon the
producers and consumer. II that was sub.
sidy he wanted to subsidize in that way every
laborer in the country.

amendment providing that any vessel arriv-
ing from any foreign port in a port of the

taned unanimous consent to strike out the
amendment agreed to on his motion yester-
day, providing only one consular certificate
be required on any one tow of canal boats or
barges trading betweet the United States and
Canada. He stated he did so because the
amendment WAS to vague.
The committee then rose and the bill was
passed.

Hateful HYDE.

Joe Hyde, who is probable the son
riest man" in Sedalia, is again trying
to make history. Too lazy to work
too mean to live, he has long dragged
out miserable existence and forced q
dependent family to drag out a still
more miserable one. Some three
years ago Hyde, during a drunken
spree, was run over In the Pacific
yards and lost leg, his companion
being killed, since then Hyde has, if
possible, proven still more worthless.
Two years ago this winter he applied
to the city for aid. In company with
Mayor Rick :, the reporter visited
his house and found the family
destitute, the children bare
foot and almost naked. Mrs.
Hyde, though i'll. was trying TO
patch mp some old clothes while Hyde
lay stretched on the only bed in the
house, full length, reading a news
paper.

Nav, Pm all right only Pm hun

Its too damn Geld to work this

"But other people work"
"That's all right if their fools

Such is specimen of the man I'm
those days but if anything he has
since grown more and more worth
less. Yesterday he went home and
threw one of his children through q
window nearly killing it and then pro-
ceeded to beat his invalid wife, whom
the physicians say he has given a.
nameless and loathsome disease that
is fast destroying her life. Fearing
for their lives the family notified the
police but when they arrived Hyde
had left. His is one of the numerous
cases that show the need of good
work house where those who can do
and won't do can be made to do.
