LONDON, April 2T.-Dr. Parker.
in addressing the Congregational
Union, used the occasion TO deliver
bitter denuncistiOn ON special re-
ligious journalism. He spoke of il
as ''the hope Of the devil, - and as
serted that Its mean, suspicious in
uendOes against the orthodoxy OF
honest men and its anonymous at
lacks upon preachers, are the curse
Of the day." and that the paper in
question Ought to be forbidden TO
appear in the Christian family.''
DIR. Parker is using the columns OF
a religious weekly to publish attacks
upon Mr.. Sturgeon, abusing him
anu exhorting him to "widen the
circle Of his life.r He says in let
ter addressed TO Mr.. Spurgeon:
"IOu are surrounded by ofIerers OF
incense, who fiatter your weakness,
laugh ut your jokes and feel yCu on
compliments. Renounce Il; take
more fresh air; scatter your ecciesi-
astical harem; enlarge your social
relations" He goes on to charge
Spurgeon OF iuexcusably cOntemp-
tuous behavior tOwanIs others, and
OF being too free in the excommuni-
cation Of his Baptist brethren. "You
are really not infallible,'' occupying
a sovereign place in a Pantheon OF
your own invention.

that serious trouble occurred during
eviction proceedings Thursday on
the Ponsonby estate. Patrick STAN

Of bailids and police, having placed

THE TARIFF BILL
Congress PoIIed 10 Ascertain rndi-
vIdual Members Views Thereon

PHILADELPHIA, April e. The
Press tomorrow will publish the most
complete and careful poll Of the ma
jOrity In Congress ever made by n
newspaper. The purpose was 10
ascertain the views Of individual
members rs to the necessity Of pass
ing the tariff revision and reduction
bill as speedily rs possible.
Interviews were had with POS
Senators and Representatives. The
Press interviewers found what op-
position exists to the Mckinley bill
on the republican side of the House,
and 10y extending the interviews to
leading democrats found the par
ticular line Of attack upon the bill
likely to be adopted by the oppOsi-
ton. a fact Of supreme importance
is that a bill revising the tariff and
reducing the revenue will he enacted
before Congress adjOurns for the
summer.
The Iress interviews l59 repub-
Leans, and, with two exceptions.
while the interviews show n strong
sentiment on the part Of tire repub-
licans in favor Of the bill, even some
features Of il are not wholly in ac-
cord with the individual opinion Of
the member called upon
TO ENTREES HIS VIEWS,
and there is n singular dearth Of
strong criticism on the part Of the
democrats. In a general way the
democrats protest against the bill,
without going into particulars. They
admit the probability OF its passing,
but they are evidently displeased
with a measure which offers to the
masses Of the people free sugar on
the one hand, and TO the farmers Of
the country additional protection on
important articles which they pro-
duce on the other hand.
The result is summarized as fol-
lows: Total number Of interviews,
2O9; total numbers Of republicans
interviewed, l59. A number OF re-
publicans believe a bill revising the
tariff and reducing the revenue
must be passed. The number who
.agree that the republican taiiff bill
will be passed, and, while differ
ences exist as to the makeup Of the
schedule, the entire party Is in ac-
cord on the general principle and
purpose OF the Mckinley bill, is
eighty-four. The number now ready
to vote for the Mckinley bill as Il
st nds, III; the number who believe
the Mckinley bill is sure TO be made
satisfactory TO the party ami coun-
try, by amendments, and passed,
lis; the number who are not sure
about IL. Z.

LONDON, April %. - Giovanni
Succi, the little Italian who hn

spoonful OF bouillon, this afternoon
in the presence OF a great crowd Of
spectators. He was not n pleasing

little elixir, containing no nutri-
ment. TO allay abdominal pains.
Succi lost thirty pounds during
his fast, but though his forehead is
like wrinkled parchment, and his
cheeks fall in between his high
cheek bones and lower jaw, and the
lines OF his face are drawn down and
haggani, he walks firmly and his
muscular grip Is rs strong as II was
six weeks ago. He has maintained
almost evenly from first to last
HIS NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
The temperature Of his body at
starting, on March 18th, was 9S. 6
deg. F. 1t was reduced 10 9S deg.
at the end Of that month, after which
II remained about 97.4. His pulse
began at %, fell on the second day
10 10, rose ON the third day to 50 and
fell TO So on March Goth. Since
then it has oscillated between SO and
So. His lung capacity began at 2OOJ
c;;bic centimetrcs, and in n week
had dropped TO 1850. His height
before the fast was five feet, five
inches. IL is now five feet four
inches, the loss OF one inch being
due manly TO the shrinkage Of car
tilages between the vertebra Of the
spine.
People who saw DIR. Tanner at the
conclusion Of his forty days fast say
that Succi has come out OF the test
in 100 per cent fatter condition than
the American faster. The Italian
has tasted several times for twenty
and thirty days, but never before for
50 long a. forty days. He has con-
sumed between pint and a pint
