CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH LED TO MOVEMENT

CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH LED TO A MOVEMENT
SATISFACTORY TO BOTH.
The announcement in The Tribune yesterday OF the
consolidation of All Souls Protest ant Episcopal Church
with the Church OF the Holy Spirit received with
surprise in religious ercles. The fact was made
known on Sunday In the two churches, but Inc ar
rangements had all been completed within few
weeks. For time All Souls parish has been WISH
ing TO further uptown, and this outcome II Is
said is the result of accidental meeting between
the Rev. Dr. X. Heber Newton and the Rev. Ut.
Gubert rector OF the Church OF the Holy spirit, aOou
two weeks ago. Committees were appointed OS .Ho
two churches to confer and see II an airahgen'e" "
consolidation could be effected. The commi''ee VI
All Souls consisted Of L. d. Tappan. f. NJ brown ana
Henry A. Rogers aid that Of the Chuicn OF inc noS
Spirit consisted Of Horace Hochkiss, Thomas "h''
taler and Lewis +. Ransom.
After three meetings an understanding was reached
and the plan submitted TO the Ves'N oi U'e my
Spirit on Friday and 10 that of All Souls on Nio
day It was approved by both. The arrangement II
Is said also meets with the approval of Bishop Pot'er
For some time the leading members of the Chnrch OF
the Holy Spirit have been removing TO the West SIDE
of the city while number of those of All Souls nave
their homes in the neighborhood OF the Church Of the
Holy Spirit Sixty -sxth-st and Madison-a ave-, making

services of the Churches. II was sad yesterday

ENINS PROVINCE IRRETRIEVABLY LOST.
HERBERT WARD, THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER
THINKS THAT THE PACHAs RULE
is AT AN END.


Herbert Wand The last white man in civlliza-
ton who was with Henry NJ Stanley, when seen al
the Everett House by Tribune reporter yesterday
said that the revolt OF the natives against Emn Pacha
an account of which was published yesterday would
probably end forever Emins rule in his province ID
Central Equatorial Africa. Mr.. Ward continued:
Emn Pacha had been holding the country so
long that nothing less than large army could have
overcome him. l have no doubt that his stations
we're betrayed Just as KhartOum His men had
been soldiers In Egypt and are all faithess and
treaoherous. They serve whichever master pays
them best There are so many of them that II VIII
be simply impossible for Emn 10 regain his old place
as Governor Of the province.
"The object Of the Germans is TO insure road
through the territory of the Imperial East African
territory which extends from the coast TO the heart
of the lake country 1t Is possible that trade rela-
tions may be arranged by which the Europeans can
procure cloth and other articles from the Inhabitants
of the country, but l think it impossible for them
TO 20 beyond that for some time. Just where ana
when Stanley and Emn Pacha Will strike the
coast am not sure and suppose they do not know
vet themselves They will probably try 10 reach The
territory north of that of the Imperial East African
Company, which is under the English proectorate,
but their course will depend entirely ccunsta
They have large party 10 feed and must neces sarily
20 through the country where food is most plentiful
What Emin Pacha VIII do after he reaches the coast
IS matter Of doubt but 1t is said that Stanley carried
10 him his letter OF recall from the Egyptian Govern
ment.
| saw recently statement that stanley Is nothing
more now than ivory merchant. think this ought
10 be denied, for nothing IS further from stanley s
thou ghts than mere money making. He NAV have "a
large amount of ivory I'm his possession. but il is the
tribute Of the native chiefs 10 him as Governor of the
province, aud a pound OF IL belongs 10 him per-
sOnany. Stanley went 10 Africa because he felt
TO be his duty, and he said at dinner 10 him I'm
London, he would rather die in the swamps of Central
Africa doing HIS work than rot "a London. lie is a
noble, unSeGsh man. and the charge that he is seeking
for personal gain Is untrue
I'VE shah probably hear more from Stanley soon,
think for the from him Is given out in dribctS
The committee which sent out the Emin Bey Relief En-
pedt0n has received long letter from him. but sells
II To the papers pieccneal."
Dir. Ward knew Captain WisSmann, who IS fighting
the natives In Eastern Africa well and says he is
nagvelOusly energetic man. He however is lacking
