The Congregational Council.

CHICAGO Oct 15.-The Congregational Coun-
roceeded with its third days work this
morning The Rev. DR.. Stong, of Cleveland
presented the report of the committee on the
American Home Missionary Society. The points
dwelt upon were the necessity of the evargei-
zation of the foreign population in large cities,
the general demands Of the work all over the
country and the needs for greater financial sup
port.
DIR. Walter NJ Barrows of New York, read
the report of the Home Missionary Society. 1t
has been on trial sixty years. In 1926 it's re-
ceipts were $l8 000 in 1885 they were $525, ,000
Three years ago there were no German churches
in any of the large cities of the West; now
there are churches in st. Louis, Chicago Oma-
ha, and promising mission in Kansas City.
The SlavoAis population we're found to be the
most difficult part of the immigrant material to
deal with, but trials proved them to be acces-
sible to religious influences.
Resolutions defining what means should be
employed relative to the standing of ministers
were submitted. In substance it was held that
the passage into the Congregational ministry
was first, by ordination, and next in recognition
by the sisterhood of churches; that ministerial
standing should be lodged in a local association
Of churches that installing councils and coun-
ellis of recognition should be encouraged, and
that the distinction between pastors and acting
pastors should be dropped
lne heV Henry A. Snmson, or st. Louis,
called attention to the bequest of $40, 900 which
awaited the proper action of the council. This
fund was intended for the benefit of aged and
disabled ministers. This announcement was
received with great applause and after it ceased
recess was taken until the afternoon.
Upon reassembling, Rev. G. G. Oregon, of Syr-
acuse, N. Y, chairman of the committee on the
Congregational Sunday school and Publishing
Society, made report recommending that the
churches raise for the use of the society 100000
annually during the next three years.
Without action on the report, the council took
up the resolutions defining the standing Of min
listers. Rev. Mr. Quint opened the discussion by
speaking of what he called the inyidious dis
tinction made between acting and regularly-in-
stalled pastors. The other speakers in favor of
the resolutions were Rev. W. F. Day. of Ottawa
ILL.,, and Rev. G. o. Brown, of Dubuque, Ia. OPP
posing addresses were made by Rev. DR.. Sturte-
want of Cleveland; Rev. VIM. A. Lloyd, of Ra-
venswood, Ill and others
The Rev. DR.. Dexter moved that the resolu-
tions be referred to committee of five, to be ap-
pointed by the nominating committee. The com
mittee will be announced in tho morning. Ad-
journed until tomorrow

Origin and Course of the Storm.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The storm which has
been working such havoc among the coast towns
of Texas was first heard Of by the Signal Office
on the 10th inst, as being southwest Of Cuba
aud apparently working its way slowly around
the western end of the island, and thence north
ward. During that day and the next it was
traced upward toward the coast of Florida and
Alabama, and promised to expend its energies
somewhere over northern Alabama and Tennes-
see, or making its way across Florida, north
eastwardly, ultimately develop high winds along
the Atlantic coast. But in this prrpose-is, for
convenience, the elements may be credited with
purpose, as it was defeated before it reached
the coast-it encountered an extensive field
of high barometer and dry air. cov-
ering the Atlantic coast, which it
was unable to penetrate or surmount. By this
it was DETECTED along the Gulf coast westwardly,
manifesting itself in dangerous winds ard high
tides at Pensacola on the 1lth; its outskirts
touched New Orleans On the 18th its full energy
striking the coast between New Orleans and
Galveston on the afternoon of the 18th. It was
not a remarkable storm ss Gulf atorms 60 and
its only apparently exceptional feature was the
route it travelled piliug up the waters before it
and pouring them upon tho low coast Of Texas.
About the time this storm was discovered ar
other was found to be brewing in Utah. It dc,
veloped but little energy ana moved slowly east

peared in the extreme northwest, north
of Idaho. whose course was southeast

had reached the valley region, whero they
abreast. Thoy manifested no remarkable
energy Of winds, except in Louisiana, but Gro

lower Missouri valley, Kansas, the Indian Terri
tory Arkansas and Louisiana. Ordinarily this
line of low barometer would be expected to move

Incidents of the Disaster.

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 15.-The Posts staff cor
respondent at Beaumont tonight telegraphs
some interesting incidents of the Sabine disaster
The new house of Bradley Garnett was swept
away, with his family of five persons. After
floating two and half miles the house landed on
q ridge back of the town all intact, and with
nobody hurt.
Mrs. John Stewart and her daughter, were
separated at their home when the food struck
the town The daughter seized feather bed
and the mother a window frame, and thus sup
ported themselves. After being out all night
they landed at Aurora, on the lake shore, within
half mile Of each other, each supposing the
other had been lost. They traversed fifteen
miles before they were found.
To give some idea of the velocity of the wind
silver spoon was blown from the residence Of
William Harris distance of twelve miles.
Mrs. Otto Brown fioateG twenty miles on a
feather bed. She had her child with her, but it
got benumbed and died in q convulsion
During its struggles it knocked the mother into
the water. The waves pitched Mrs. Brown back
on the bed. She was finally found in little in
let and was saved.
Capt. F. A. Hyatt and William Guy report
that they had a singular experience. as members
OF the relief committee, on their way to
the pass. The train in which
they were travelling stopped on a
dump five miles from the town. The water
around the neck of land on which was placed
the track was fully eight feet deep The hands
of Messrs. Hyatt and Guy are blistered from
fighting snakes, which literally covered the
dump for a distance of five miles There
were thousands Of watermoccasins from the
overfowed district taking refuge on the
narrow stretch of land, and every step across it
had to be fought through the twisting serpents.
many of them the deadly stump-tailed moe
casins, larger than a mans arm Wildcats
also frenzied at the waters fury, rushed pell-
nell upon pedestrians while coons and every
variety of animals snapped at passersby with
hydrophobic rage.

Prospects, for a General Strike West
OF the Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-At 3p. m. all
the engines in the East st. Louis yards
set mp shrill and prolonged whistling
and all the men walked out. Between
IL a. M. and IL p. m. the committee of
District Assembly SO, Knights of Labor.
went through all the yards and served an
order on all Knights of Labor to quit
work at 8 pm. This order was coupled
with a request addressed to the switch
men who were not of the Knights of
Labor, asking them to join their fellow
workmen and also 60 out. How well
the order was obeyed and request
complied with was shown when on
sounding the whistles at pm. all
the yardmen in the place walked out
and left the yards deserted. No ques
ton of wages was involved and it is
freely stated, but not on the authority
of any Knights of Labor official. that
the order sent to the men was simply an
extension and enlargement OF the strike
on the Gould system and the initiative
of general strike en- all the roads east

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Secretary
Manning's condition tonight is some
what improved. At IL o'clock he was
reported as being comfortable. To an
Associated Press reporter, the Secre-
tary's son said that while they could
not consider his father as out of dan
ger. the improvement this evening gave
them much hope. The Secretary tases
the Inourishment his physicians give
him, rests comfortably, converses with
those around him and sleeps well.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-At midnight
DR.. Lincoln, who had just left Secretary
Manning, said he found him somewhat
improved; any marked change for the
better was not to be expected for some
days and the fact that no change for
the worse had occurred was encourag-
ing. The Secretary had the entire use
of all his limbs, but there was a slight
weakness on his right side. He was
resting quietly when he left the house.

The strikers hit Back at Gould


> ST. LOUIS, March 25.-The executive
board of district assemblies 101, 107 and
SO Knights of Labor, have issued an
address to the Knights of Labor and
trades unions throughout America, in
tended as a reply to the statements
made by Mr.. Jay Gould last night in
regard TO the strike of the railroad en-
plOyees of the southwest. After quot
ing from the statement of Gould, the
sentence saying that employees upon
his roads have presented no grievances
to the management, the address
says: 1--WE have wearied the
press and worn the types OF the
world in stating the grievances
and demanding an opportunity to pre-
sent them to Mr.. Gould and his leuten-
ants. We have offered, through the
highest channels that represent us in
the nation, to meet him upon any field;
we have sought, we have plead. we have
demanded that we be heard. To all
this Gould has turned a deaf ear, and
now before the world we challenge him
to hear our complaints. Before the
world we impeach his veracity, when
he said we have not presented
them. Before the world let the
trial go on" Referring to the de-
cision of Mr.. Gould, to sue the
organization of Knights of Labor, the
address says: Mr.. Gould and his
counsel we'll know that such silly eman-
atoms are an insult to the intelligence
of our school boys and a challenge to
the courage of our grandmothers. The
address closes with an appeal to the
strikers to stand firm until their or
ganization is recognized and their de-
mands granted.
