He Says the Congressional Minority VIII
Make Itself Felt.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct z, 1889. Roger
o. Mills, of Texas, is in this city. In con-
yersation last night with the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Amert-
can. Mr.. Mills said that though in the
minority the Democrats were fully con-
scious of their power and would use it.
"We do not propose" " said he, that the
Republican majority will pass a single
measure without our consent. For in
stance, you may depend upon it that the
rules Of the House will not be changed by
the Republican majority in any essential
feature.
1--WE do not propose topermit them to be
changed, as is desired by Mr.. Reed and
others, in any particular feature.
ssNor will we permit any of the proposed
legislation looking to a control by Con-
gress OF the elections, for we see very
plainly what the purpose of that is.
eThe same can be said of the contest
cases that will come up before Congress.
We do not propose to let the Republican
majority be further increased ad libitum,
by throwing out Democratic members. as
seems to be the purpose.
''In other words, we propose to exercise
control of the house just as much as
though we were still in the majority, be-
cause we know our minority is strong
enough to make us the virtual rulers.'

BISHOP DOANE AT GRACE CHURCH.
A Sermon on the Teachings of the
Miracles.

A Sermon on the Teachings of the
Miracles.
The Right Rev. Bishop Doane, of the
Episcopal diocese of Albany, and a
brother of Monsignor Doane, of tine
Catholic Church, of this city, preached in
Grace Church yesterday morning. In
addition t. ae usual robes of his Office he
wore the scalet cape of his degree.
He is clear, forcihle speaker, and is
possessed of style of delivery which is
pleasing and attractive. His sermon was
based upon the text, young man, say
unto thee arise"
In beginning the Bishop spoke of the
affection he had for Grace Church from
The fact that his father ministered to that
parish for several years, and OF the other
pastors of the church with whom he had
the most pleasant intercourse.
He also referred feelingly to the hymn,
.'Thou art the way" written by his
father, which was sung just previous to
the sermon.
Then, taking up his text, he said that
the miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ
were not so wonderful in what they did
as in what they taught. Each of the
three resurrection miracles which he IS
recorded as performing has its peculiar
lesson and typifies degree of spiritual
death.
The young man, away from his father
and herding with swine and the body,
three days dead and upon which the
process of corruption had begun,
typify the soul in the lowest depths of sin.
But they also teach that no soul is so lost.
so dead and corrupted with sin as to be
beyond the compassion of Jesus Christ.
He also drew a lesson from the two pro-
cessions mentioned in the account of the
miracle from which his text was taken.
The one going down to the place of burial
full of woe and lamentation, the other
holy determination to lead men to the
light
These typify the two currents of today;
the one leading men down to death, the
other conducting them to everlasting life.
Nothing but the love of Jesus Christ can
bring back to life men who are dead.
The Bishop closed with an exposition of
the duty of the Church toward those who
are dead in sin.

THE MURDERS AT NAVAssA.
A Queer Story from an Alleged Spiritual
Adviser.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. z, 1ss9.-W. G.
Allen, the United States Consul at King
ston, Jamaica, has made partial report
of the circumstances connected with the
riot at Navassa. The report is dated Sep
tember 20. and is made up principally of
correspondence relating TO the affair.
Consul Allen first learned of the riot on
September II from d. Marchollette, of
Morant Bay, who was made to say in his
telegram that the riot had occurred at
Havana. This error caused some delay,
and on the next day Consul Allen
requested Commodore Henry Hand, in
charge of the British Naval Station, to
send vessel to the scene of the riot, or to
try to communicate with United States
vessel. Commodore Hand promptly sent
H. M. S. Forward, which had not returned
up to the date of Mr.. Aliens letter.
Counsel Allen received, however, under
date of September Is, two letters, from
Navassa. One was from DR.. Charles A.
Smith. acting superintendent of the Ma
vassa Phosphate Company, in substance
the same as one already received from Mr..
Smith and made public in Baltimore.
The other letter was signed William
II. Henson, spiritual adviser" and tells q
story quite different from Mr.. Smiths.
1t is as follows:
'sTo His Honor, the American Consul at Kings
ton, Jamaica, w. L.
We, the undersigned laborers for the Havana
Phosphate Co., were attacked by the bosses and
managers with firearms, because we refused to
work after having been improperly treated.
Our grievances are various, and we demanded
hearing before the present acting superintend-
ent, c. D. Smith They Immediately fired pro-
iniscuously among us, wounding four men. We,
believing there was nothing between us and
DEATH withstood the fire and captured some of
their firearms. During the affray one of the
bosses was wounded. They went under cover of
the house and fired on us the second time.
During the affray two of the bosses were
fatally injured. They then evacuated the
armory, which we now have in possession, treat
ing the remaining bosses with due courtesy and
with no further acts of violence on our part
We now await to hear from you, hoping you viii
send Immediately relief, or "a vessel to carry us
back to the United States of America. We re-
mains, yours,
can Citizens, awaiting your instant action"
Consul Allen recommends the suitable
recognition OF the efforts of Captain
Charles, of the British brig Armorette,
who brought the first news from
Navassa, aud of the courGesies performed
by Commodore Hand.

City Churches.

The Right Rev. Winand Wigger, Bishop
of Newark, and over twenty priests, as
sembled in the sanctuary of the Church of
morning to consecrate the new alter
presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Och.
The handsome building was crowded.
Long before the white-robed altar boys
entered the chancel all available space
in the church was occupied.
The Rey. Father John j. McHale, of
Newark, sang the solemn high mass.
He was assisted by the Rev. Father Nc
Tammany, s. j., OF St. Peters College, as

St Bridget's, as subdeacon.
Bishop Wigger occupied the throne on
the gospel side of the altar during the

Nicholas Church.
dignity, and in graceful language ex-
plained the uses to which the altar would
be put by the church.
He extolled the generosity of Mr.. and
Mrs. Och, and yet bade them not to look
for th cir reward in this world, but in the
next.
''The altar" continued Father Wey-
land, lis the centre of the Catholic faith,
and no masters hand could make it too
perfect for the sacred uses for which it
was intended"
The Right Reverend Bishop then con-
secrated the altar with the impressive
ceremonies prescribed by the ritual.
In the afternoon Bishop Wigger con-
firned over two hundred people.
The singing deserves a word of praise.
MoZart's seventh mass was excelently
rendered by the Cecilia Choral Associa-
In 10 a oil fpd
programme also added interest to the SER
vices in the afternoon.
The Rev. Father Grief, the pastor of
the church, is gentleman who cannot
be too highly praised. He has virtually
built three churches within the last four
years and has reduced their debt with
astonishing ease.
His church is one of the beauties of
Union HILL
Father Grief and his congregation
work hand in hand and both priest and
people deserve the congratulation they
received yesterday.

A BuiIding and Loan Case.

Action in suit to foreclose mort
gage by the Peoples Building and Loan
Association, of Harrison, given ten years
ago on 81 900 loan made by Thomas Furey,
was brought before Vice Chancellor Pit
ney this morning.
Furey purchased five shares of stock of
the association ten years ago at 5000 per
share. In November, 1879. he borrowed
$1,000.
During the first year he paid in $735, al
though he had agreed to pay in Install
ments only at the rate of SO per month
Subsequent payments augmented the
sum till in Jannary, 1888, $973 had been
paid. He offered to pay $40 and square
the account The association wanted
$3.50. He was to have been paid four per
cent. interest the first year on his stock
account, the interest to increase yearly
till the eighth year, when it would reach
thirteen per cent Furey claims that the
interest has never been credited to his
account and had accumulated sufficiently
to clear him of all obligation. The case
is still on and the lengthy argument will
probably prevent decision being given
