PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH
1t Disagrees with Bishop Kelley, of Mexico,
On Monetary Matters.

Especial to THE HERALD--Examine Dispatch
New York, May 13,-The Protestant
Episcopal church of America is said to have
resorted to what is practically boycott
to discipline those of the faith who have
questioned the authority of its bishops.
This discipline is aimed at the Church OF
Jesus, in Mexico, which IS the original
branch of the Episcopal church in Mexico.
Now it has become a reformed church and
with its forty congregations is struggling
along as best it can, without the contribu-
tons which the EpiscOpalians in the United
States used to give it every year. An APP
peal for aid which Bishop H. Chauncey
Kelley, executive officer of this Mexican
church. has recently circulated in this
country has been met by sort of round
robin signed by Bishops j. Williams, A. N.
LittlejOhn, W. c. DOane and Bishop Potter,
of New York. These eccleciaStic author
tiles have designated some one else besides
Bishop Kelley as the proper person to re
ceive contributions for church work in
Mexico.
The reason for this attitude of the Epis-
copal bishops is said to be due to Bishop
Reiley's refusal to own allegiance to them
and the other church authorities in the
| United States. In many respects Bishop
Kelley is a remarkable man. He went TO
Mexico in 1868, and was one Of the first
| Protestants to engage in missionary worl;
there. Some time in the seventies he was
ordained bishop of the valley Of Mexico by
! the Episcopal church
Among the friends whom the young mis-
sionary made when he first went to Mexico
was the patriot .IuareZ. The cOntiscation
of the property Of the Jesuit order by the
government gave JuareZ during his presi-
dency an opportunity to provide Bishop
Kelley with very handsome church in the
capital This was a free gift. Subse-
quently the bishop bought from the govern
ment the noted convent of San Francisco
which is regarded as the finest editice in
the city of Mexico next to the capitol. This
purchase was made with funds supplied by
the late William L. Dodge, Morris X. Jes-
sup. Brown Brothers. bankers, and other
prominent people Of New York, and Bishop
Kelley is said to have spent $4,000 of his
own money in retitting the convent for a
church. Matters went on smoothly until
four or five years ago when the Episcopal
church of the United States shut off its
allowance of $4,000 year which it had
been giving to help along Bishop Reiley's
work Since then it has contributed
nothing.
Bishop Kelley has spent much of his time
in the United States for the past few years,
TRYING to raise money to keep his work
going. Now all his work is knocked in the
head by the publication in the Standard of
the Cross and the Church, the Philadelphia
Episcopal paper, of the notice signed by
the bishops whose names appear above,
stating that Kelley is wholly unauthorized
to receive money for the church in Mexico.

CHICAGO, May IA strange disclosure
followed tonight when it was announced
that Nathan Corwith, ST., had been very
i'll and that his death was liable to occur
at any minute. A year ago Corwith was
the richest lead merchant in America The
approach of death caused inquiries which
resulted fatally.
The heretofore unknown story of his
sudden descent to poverty is told by one of
his former associates. The supposition has
been that Corwith's gigantic failure in the
business was solely the result of an ill
timed attempt to corner the lead market of
the world. AS now revealed, the real
reason was very different. The facts as
related in brief are that Corwith's every
move in speculation was being ''coppered'
with his own capital by his own son, Guer-
don Corwith, and that before the inevitable
crash came 81 ,0OO, 900 had been drawn from
the old mans Golfers and sunk in operations
in which the younger Corwith had become
hopelessly involved. COrwith believed he
had an enormous amount of lead on hand
and paid for, when the fact was that the
lead purchased had been sold and the pro-
ceeds entirely wiped by young Corwith's
operations. Young Corwith was placed
in confinement for time but was after
ward released and the father shouldered
the loss, making whatever settlement was
DOSSible

New YORK, May 13-The great absorb

man of the Democratic National commit
tee, now that Barnum, of Connecticut, is
dead,i is one which is causing much agitation
in the world of statesmen.
There is no doubt that German, of Mary

equally patent that the modest little gentle
man Is working tooth and nail to thrust the
honor and work upon Colonel Calvin S.
Brice, who is rather more willing to take it
than is compatible with his success in the
campaign recently passed.
Herman OelrichS is a good second in the
race so far as popularity is concerned, and
perhaps in the matter of brains, but
whereas Colonel Brice is working tooth
and nail to get the place, Oelrichs with char
acteristic dignity has gone off to Europe and
left matters to adjust themselves.
When World reporter asked Colonel
Brlce yesterday who his favorite candidate
was, he blushed and declined to answer.

medical staff testified that in one ward
there was an average of thirty patients
with only nine rooms, or an average
OF three in room. 1t was absolutely
necessessary to have only one or two in
some of the rooms, so that four persons
were cOwded into others. These rooms are
five and a-half by ten feet in size; the
beds are two and a-half feet wide, but
in many cases two patients are
forced to sleep in them under such circum-
stances, with insufficient attendance,
patients would climb over the cots and
fight, and the medical attendant was fire.
quently called six or eight times in a single
night to go to the patients who were at
tempting to commit murder or suicide.
This state of affairs was reported to the
members of the county board again and
again, but nothing was done to remedy it.
Much other revolving testimony was
brought in. The board of county commits
sioners this afternoon passed resolution
naming a committee of prominent citizens
to recommend suitable person to succeed
the present superintendent, DR.. Wernan,
whose management has been so severely
commented upon recently.

American Flax Industry.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Last week, Prof.
Willetts, assistant secretary of agricul-
ture, had under consideration letter from
Ireland which he thinks may offer solu-
ton of the economic problem of what shall
take the place of wheat on farms where it
can no longer be raised at profit. THE
writer, who has been familiar with fax
growing and linen manufacturing since
1910, says in his interesting communication
that there are only two establishments in
this country of fax weaving; one at Web
ster, Mass, and the other at Appleton,
Wis.
There is every reason why the American
farmer should produce a million acres of
fax, of both seed and fibre, over and above
what is now produced which would give
Il, OOO 900 to Il, 0OO, 900 bushels of seed worth
as many million dollars, and $500, 900 tons
of fax straw worth $4,000, 900, and from
which 100000 tons of fax fibre would be
obtained, worth S100,000,000.
Prof. Willetts has informed the sender
that the subject of his letter would be earn
estly considered by the department, which
would lend its aid to any effort to increase
or diversity the agricultural industries of
the country.

Change and no Change.

Especial to THE acknowledgements Dispatch I
NORWICH, Conn, May 13.-N. o. Barker,
of Lebanon, has just received his commits,
sion as postmaster for that place, vice
Frank p. Fowler, removed. Under this
apparently uninportant bit of news is an
interesting little story Fowler was ap-
pointed by Cleveland nearly four years ago
to succeed Barker, who held office for six
teen years. Now Barker has been rein
stated. The point of the story is that
Barker and Fowler are members of the
same grocery firm and the change in post
masters has made no change in the location
of the office or in the personnel, except that
in one case Barker has been assistant to
Fowler and in the other Fowler will be
come assistant to Barker. The Lebanon
postofice has therefore occupied the same
location for twenty years and has been
operated by the same people in spite of par
tisan changes in the Republican and Demo
cratic administrations.

important Labor Investigation.

Especial TO THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch. ]
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Colonel Carroll
D. Wright, the head of the department of
labor, is contemplating some interesting
inquiries when he gets through with the
present work of the department on railroad
wages and the cost of production. Among
the subjects he has in mind as proper for
future investigation are the economic
phases Of the temperance movement,
manufacturing progress in the south, the
dwellings of the poor and child labor.
Ne one of these topics has been definitely
chosen as yet for the next report of the
department, but Colonel Wright believes
they are all good subjects.
If the temperance question were taken up,
the department would not, Of course, CON
slider it in its ethical aspects at all, but 4
deal of data might be collected regarding
the cost of drinking to different classes in
the community, the revenue collected by
the state and results of the
different license system. The more
conservative temperance reformers
are anxious for trustworthy statistics and
many memorials calling for them have been
adopted by temperance societies.
An inquiry into the growth
of manufacturing in the south
would throw a good deal of light

factory labor, and might lay the founda-
tion for rational settlement of his social
and political status.
An investigation of the dwellings of the
polk could be made exceedingly interesting
andssFOuld furnish just the data which the
philanthropists and reformers desire. The
same may be said Of an inquiry into the ex-
tent and results Of child labor throughout
the coutry.
Col Wright sees golden possibilities be
fore the department if he is furnished with
adequate means to carry it on. The
volumes relating to the condition of the
working classes and to marriage and di-
vorce will soon be ready for the public.

Row Between Whites and Negroes.

New ORLEANS, May 12.-As result of
the fight between some negroes and whites
last Tuesday at Gretna, in which two men
were injured trouble has been brewing and
eliminated last night in quite row. This
morning a fire broke out in the engine house
of the colored fire company and the colored
militia company arsenal adjoining. During
the conflagration a number of whites,
armed with shotguns and rifles, congre-
gated around the scene and prevented any
negro from coming within one hundred
yards of the fire. After the fire was over,
armed squads of whites scattered around
the town and entered number of negro
cabins, ostensibely to search for arms. A
reign of terror prevailed among the negroes,
and colored. women and children have been
leaving Gretna all day for this city, taking
with them such effects as they could carry.

The sharon Case Settled.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The supreme
court today affirmed the judgment of the
United States circuit court of the northern
district of California in the case of David
S. Terry ct al, appellants, vs.. F.W. Sharon,
executor, etc.
This is the suit brought by Sarah A.
Hili-Terry. The court holds that in the
original case the citizenship of the parties
being in different states, and the object
of the suit being the cancellation Of
a decree, suits for cancellation being
one of the Oldest heads of equity
jurisdiction. The case presented was
one of prima facie jurisdiction and if
there were any errors in the original decis-
ion they must be presented on appeal from
the decree in that case and cannot be con-
sidered in this case, which is an appeal
from decision reviewing the action in the
name of the executor of the deceased
Sharon and that the objections urged to
that decree of receiver are frivolous.

quietly until the Germans had got enough
men there to kill them. If it was to be
war they wanted to fight it out right then.
Knappe assured Patu that the reports
were not correct, and that no more ships
were coming, and that there would be no
more war between the Germans and Sa-
means In a conference between Mataafa
and Admiral Kimberly, in which the former
urged the latter to establisha state of peace,
Mataafa represented that the country was
going to ruin, the crops spelling on account
of no men being at home to attend them
and the natives not only making no money
but had already reduced themselves to
poverty by contributing their means to
carry on the war, Mataafa said if Tamasese
consented he wanted both parties TO break
up their camps and let their men go to their
homes.
Admiral Kimberly and vice-Consul
Blackjack afterwards had conference
with Consul Knappe in regard to the mat
ter, butnothing was accomplished, although
Knappe declared that the proposition to
stop the war met with his approval There
was a near approach to the renewal of
hostilities, March 3, on account of rumor
that while Mataafa's forces were being re-
viewed in Apia Tamasese would make
descent on the camp and overpoWer them.
A large number of AIataafa's warriors
watched Tamasese's camp for several days,
but the matter finally blew over.
TamaseSe has not more than 500 men III
his party. His ranks have suffered greatly
from desertion; but his camps on the ele
waited plateau are almost impregnable. Sew
eral native demonstrations have been made
in honor of Admiral Kimberly and his Off
GERS. whom Malaafa'S men seem to hold in
highest esteem. AT these fetes great guam
titles of chickens, vans and other native
productions have been presented to
the admiral He was finally obliged to re-
quest Mataafa not to have any more of
these presents, as he could not see the ma
tives depriving themselves by bringing
their food TO him. The last demonstration
held was that of April, when over 1000
warriors aud 1000 women and children
We're present. Warriors held a grand re
view before the admiral's house and the
women performed native dances as a mark
of high esteem. Several native chiefs danced
before the house, something they never do
except before persons OF very exalted
rank.
A rumOr was current two weeks ago that
the German vice consul had visited the
camp of Tamasese and urged the natives
there not to become discouraged, telling
them that more German forces were on the
way and as soon as they arrived they would
again commence the war against Mataafa.
Admiral Kemberly on hearing this rumor
Immediately wrote TO DR.. Knappe asking
for confirmation or denial Knappe did not
reply in writing, but meeting the admiral
on the street a couple of days later de
Clared the report was false.
