FRIGHTENED BY WHITEWoOD.
A New Cause Of Alarm to the Lum-
bermen of Canada.

OTTAWA, October 25.-Canadian lumber
men are becoming alarmed at the enormous
quantity of southern whitewood that has
been pouring into the Dominion from the
United States during the past few months,
and which is becoming formidable compet-
itor with the Canadian white pine. Hereto
fore the southern whtewood has only been
used for manufacturing purposes, in the way
of furniture, and was admitted free of duty.
Canadian builders are now finding that they
are able to lay. it down in Canada cheaper
than domestic pine, and that it serves every
purpose for which the latter is used. A
prominent lumberman said yesterday that
strong pressure will be brought to bear on
the Dominion government to have duty i'm
posed on whitewood.
A prominent banker said yesterday that he
believed the lumber business in the woods
this winter was going to be greatly overdone,
and that through oyer-produetion heavy
fall in prices would follow. There will be
100000 feet of square timber made, an in
crease Of 65 per cent over last years produc-
tion, while In the cut of logs for the mills, he
said, there would also be slight increase.

1t was then explained that the monument
stood just outside the Union breastworks on
Culp's Hill, and he said: "lf the regimental

a right to erect their monument. / can assure

In favor OF the government making appr0-
priati0ns to erect markers on the positions
occupied by the Confederate commands as

demarkation complete, uniform monuments
should be erected to indicate the Confeder-

THE WORST or ALL DISEASES
Is CONSUMPTION,

as SO few recover from 1t, and the friends suffer
more mentally than the patient does physically,
as the changes from better to worse are so
frequent in many cases occurring every few
hours. This disease, all recognize, comes from
aCdist of nutrition and few realize that nutrition
can be furnished by artificial food free from in
soluble matter, and in raw state, as is found in
the Murdock's Liquid Food We illustrate in the
case Of Mr.. VIM. Goodman, being one of many
cases that have been restored to health We
quote from his letter of Aug. 10, 1889, German
town, Philadelphia:
II was so reduced in health by consumption,
having suffered for years from It, that my wife
and friends anticipated my death daily, when
commenced taking Murdock's Liquid Food; in a

INciTED ASSASSINATION.
John Dewey on Statements AttrIbu-

CHICAGO, October 25.-The Daily News
publishes the following:
To the Editor In an interview published in
today's Morning News, Mr.. Forrest, one Of the
counsel for the defence in the Cronin case is re-
ported TO have said, among other things: "There
Is informer Dewey, inf0rmer McCahey, informer
Luke Dillon, and don't know how many other
informers." III Mr.. Forrest uses these words he
Is guilty of direct Indictment to the assassina-
tion of the three men named. III Mr.. Forrest does
not deny having used them shall hold him re-
sponsible so far as they apply to me. He cannot
pretend to misunderstood the full meaning and
significance of the word "informer" as used
among Irlshmen, especially among the men who
pay his fees aud instruct him. The expression
quoted can have but one object. 1t is a notice
served on all Irish witnesses for the prosecution
by the chief assassns who employ Mr.. Forrest to
defend their dupes that their testimony concern
ing the murder of DR.: Cronin and the organized
system of thievery of which that murder was the
direct result, will be given at the peril of their
lives. 1t is part of the system of Intimidation of
witnesses which has formed prominent feature
OF the tactics of the defence from the beginning
OF the Cronin case.
If the case weres not pending in .court would
treat Mr.. Forests statemeD, II left uncontradct-
ed, as would that of any other ruffan made out
OF court AS 1t Is, think it is sufficient for the
present to call public attention to its murderous

THE UNIvERSALISTS.
Resolutions Adopted by the General
Convention at Lynn Yesterday.

BOSTON, October 25.-This was the last
day of the Universalist convention at Lynn.
The report of the committee on resolutions
was presented. The first hailed with ioy the
growing unity of the Christian church, and
pledged cooperation with the brethren ey-
erywhere. The second regarded Christianity
as the solution of labor troubles, and urged
Worklngmen to attenu and Cooperate with
the Christian church. The third, by DR..
Miner, favored international arbitration in
all disputes between nations, and called up
ON our government f0a active effort to that
end. 1t was adopted unanimously by a
rising vote. The fourth was strong plank
Tor total abstinence for the person and
prohibition for the State ON the liquor ques-
tion.
The fifth platform opposed closing the
churches in August, and recommended that
they be kept open every Sunday in the year.
Rev. Mr.. Atwood of New York questioned
the advisablity of the resolution. Rev.
Henry Blanchard of Maine said it was pro-
posed to keep his church open by lay leader
ship, for the laity are able to do it. Mr..
Humphrey. of New Hampshire said that
when the churches are closed in August it

tion was adopted unanimously.
Resolution No. 6 commended an examin-
alton of the system of pledges of contribu-
tions in force at the Shawmnt Universalist
church of Boston. Hon. Henry B. Metcalf
of Rhode Island spoke warmly for the sys-
tenn. Mr.. Charles Caverly explained the
system. 1t has three parts-pew rentals,
regular contributions every Sunday, and the
system OF pledges to regular weekly offer
ings-and it is successful. The resolution
was adopted unanimously.
Resolution No. requested the trustees to
consider the matter of denominational sta
tistics in order to secure as complete an
enumeration as possible. Adopted unani-
mously.
DR.. Atwood called attention to evident
discrepancies in the official figures. There
are reported to be 10000 Universalist fami-
lies and $4,000 church members. The aver
age contribution per family is reported at
$26, but it was really probably about S15,
because the number of families is doubtless
over 10000 The denomination is much
stronger than 1t is reported to be, and it suf-
fers in computation by persons who are not
friendly to it.
The statement occasoned considerable

UNWORTHY A STATESMAN.

LONDON. October 25.-Lord Salisbury, re-

ion says the British Consul at Crete has
been making inquiries regarding the out
RACES perpetrated by the Turks. and has
found the preports greatly exaggerated, es-
pecially the charge of violation of women,
which is declared to be without foundation.
Crete is exerting himself to punish all found
guilty of outrages.
The Daily News, referring to this, says:
"a document more utterly unworthy an En-
glish statesman has seldom been printed. 1t
will delight the Sultan, and might have been
written by the Grand Vizer himself. The
plea that the reports are exaggerated is an
admission of most hideous and abominable
guilt"
