and that you are still able to advocate
its principles, both with tongue and
pen.
There are many topics that might be
agitated, vast in importance and
fraught with interest, but there is none
more so than the one with which you
continuously deal, i. e. "Peace on
earth, good will toward men,"
1t is the loftiest sentiment Of the age
the grandest theme of our civiliza-
ton. 1t is the great subject which
fastens itself upon every progressive
movement, and it is only through it
we can intelligently and safely predict
as to the future. peace on earth,
good will toward men" is the great
gospel center.
1t is practically the ultimstum of all
embraced in it. Call it an ideal, or
the play of sanguine imagination, or
humanity's unattainable standard, or
call it what you please, but after all it
is the sentiment which develops, it is
the spirit which encourages, it is the
truth which enlightens, apd the foun-
dation upon which we stand to predict
as to our future outcome and destiny.
1t is the principle which inspires ev-
cry thing that adds strength and hope
to our race. 1t is the groundwork of
education, the life of religion and the
foretaste of heaven.
1t is only the cultivation of this SEN
timent that guarantees or makes per-
manent human government. Peace
and good will toward men refines, ele-
Yates, and saves. If you want to
know what it has done, and is doing
for the world, trace the progress of
Christianity and you will find that
where even peace prevails, there hu-
manity is to be found in its best and
safest estate.
Were you to ask me what is earth's
greatest boon, L would say, peace.
Were you to ask me its greatest need,
I would say peace. Were you to ask
me what subject should be agitated
above and beyond all others, l would
say peace. 1t is the boon, the need,
and should be the theme of our age.
TO advocate peace is to brighten the
world, to enrich human character, and
elevate human hopes. 1t brings out
the beauties of Savior's life, and
thereby reflects it into the lives and
hearts of men.
1t is a qualification for divine SER
vice, and a preparation for an intense
ly earnest effort to encourage and save
humanity. There is nothing higher
and better, nobler and truer, within
the range of human life, than to pro-
mulgate '.peace on earth, good aOM to-
aUard men,"
I love your cause. I admire your
courage, and 1 psay for your success.
May you live long to adorn the
cause, advocate its worth, and realize
its growing triumph among men.
Enroll my name if you haven't it al
ready.

testified to the fact of Head Chief.
another Cheyenne, telling him Satur-
day, the 9th, that he and Young Mule
had killed white man. When the
body was found these men were alb
sent, which satisfied the jury they were
the guilty ones, and verdict in accord
auce was rendered. Since theu Indian
police, twenty-five strong, have been
out looking for them, and to-day tele-
gram was received by the sheriff from
Capt. Arnold, commanding at Fort Gus
ter, that Indian police and troops had
surrounded and killed Head Chief and
Young Mule yesterday. The same in
formation comes from Agent Cooper, in
charge OF the Cheyennes. The report
is received with much satisfaction here,
as it evinces willingness on the part
of the tribe to punish individuals guilty
of crimes The Cheyennes have many
young men who have grown up since
the tribe has been at peace. Those who
make trouble are anxious to distinguish
themselves. Old men are dlscoDtented,

CREssoN SPRINGS. Penn, Sept. 15.-
1t has been arranged that the river and
harbor appropriation bill shall be for
Warded to the president Immediately
ON being signed by the speaker of the
house. The president is already famil-
az with its provisions, having brought
a copy of it with him to Cresson. to-
gether with report from the chief of
engineers in regard to the condition
and necessity of the various public i'm
provements provided for. 1t is there
fore not likely that the public will
be kept in ignorance for many more
days in regard to that measure.
There are severeral reasons for stating
that the president has not yet deter
mined whether or not it will be neces-
sary to call an extra session of congress.
he has been urged to do so by number
of Republican leaders with view to
giving more time for consideration of
the federal election bill, and the belief
prevails in well informed circles that he
is still seriously considering the ques-
ton. In the event of the failure Of ac-
ton this session of congress on the anti
lottery bill. the court bill and the re-
spective labor bills, all of which have
been scheduled for action by the senate,
and the failure of the house to pass the
postal shipping bill, the argument for
an extra session would seem to be very
well founded and, considering the great
interest which has been manifested by
the president in the success of the cleo
ton bill, and, in fact, all of the other
measures named, it is the opinion of
those who have conversed with him that

LISBON, Sept. 16.-The reassembling
OF the cortes to-day caused great eX-
citemedt throughout the city, as
stormy debate on the Anglo-Portugues
treaty was expected. Shops and Offices
were closed, and thousands of citizens
of all classes wended their way to the
parliament buildings, which were be-
sieged by enormous crowds clamorous
for admission hours before the session
opened. The authorities had taken
precautions against disorder, but official
interference was unnecessary, as the
crowd was good-natured and we'll
behaved. Soon after the opening of
the cortes Senior Ribeiro, minister
OF foreign affairs, moved the adoption of
the Anglo-Portuguese treaty. He began
to read the various notifications which
the government had adopted to assuage
the public hostility to the treaty, but
before he had gone far ne was sllenced
by the Progressjst minority, the oppo-
sltion members Kissing and hooting so
vigorously that the minister could not
make himself heard. Amid the tumult
Maj. Serpa Pinto arose and suggested to
the Progressists, Hold your tongues"
Upon this Progressist priest named
Branda assaulted Pinto, and a lively
pugilistic encounter ensued. The pres
ident was entirely unable to restore
order, and finally suspended the sitting.
When the cortez reassembled Senior
RibeirO introduced the English conven-
tion, with the following modification:
First-Tha commercial SrinuIatiOps raoerd.
Ing rivers shall not include the old province
OF Angola and the convention shall apply
solely to goods i'll transit Portugal remaining
free TO impose import and export duties.
Second-The clause providing that no por
ton OF the territory assigned to Portugal
south of the Zambezi may be transferred to
another power without Englands consent
shall be replaced by a simple reservation
giving England the preference in the event
or a transfer.
i Third-A neutral nation instead of Eng
land, shall appoint an engineer to survey the
Pungive railroad.
q The house referred the convention to
the committee on foreign affairs, where
upon the Progressists moved that Lieut..
Continho, who seized the British steamer
James Stephenson at Chiromo, deserved
the confidence of the country. The

REPUBLICANS WIN.
The Returns From Wyoming Are
Finally In.

CHEYENNE, Sept. 15.-Returns from
ten counties in Wyoming show that the
Republicans nave elected their entire
state ticket. G. D. Clark is elected to
congress over George Il. Beck. son of the
late Senator Beck, by 1900 majority. The
state legislature will be Republican by
thirty-fve majority on joint ballot. The
legislative session will begin within
sixty days, and candidates for the United
States senate are coming to the front.
One senatorship is conceded to j. M.
Carey, for the last three years delegate
to congress from Wyoming. For the
other place ex-Gov. John w. Hoyt, ex-
Congressman S. Downey and Judge M.
G. Brown, all of Laramie, and.DefOrrest
Richards, a banker of Douglas, are
aspirants. Gov.-elect Warren, while
not candidate, may be made Carey's
colleague.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 15.-The
Tribune (Republican), in an editorial on
the Wyoming election, says: We are
not at all proud of the result in Wyo-
ming. The only satisfactory feature
gain with the delegate to the last con-
greSs. He fought everything which was
opposed to the Mormons inTcongress last
winter. He fought everything in the
constitution of Wyoming which put any
thing like test on the Mormons. He
threatened Dubois if he insisted on
test IN the Idaho constitution. AS del
egate to the last Republican conven-
ton, he did not want anything men-
toned about the Mormons, and after
thus proving his loyalty to the church
the saints kept their bargain, and had
their slaves in Wyoming vote for him
and his ticket. We would rather have
had defeat without the bargain than vic
tory with such a trade as that. Mr..
Carey, as member of the United States
senate, will be bound to keep his part
of the contract, and for the first time
there will be exhibited the spectacle of
Western senator who has a Mormon
string on him.

SHOCKED TO DEATH.

A Big CfOWd sees a Man Killed
by Electricity.
New YORK, Sept 15.-Not on the
bills, but more thrilling than the play,
was the scene that greeted the large
audience as it emerged from the Park
theater at IL o'clock this evening.
Electric Light Lineman Kopp was tor
tured to death on the pole at Thirty
Fifth street and Broadway right before
the eyes of the pleasure-seekers. He
was taken to New York hospital
in a dying condition: 1t was
Hoeys ysFS ParI01r Paan1 PMaSHvahs PMaSschthat dhe the
theater-goers had seen, and there were
smiles OF remembrance on many faces.
Many of the people saw Lineman Kopp
mounting the pole as they came out of
the theater. He was there to fix some-
thing about the lamps that controlled
the garish light. Suddenly it was seen
that something was wrong, the man be-
came limp and the awful sizzle of the
electric fluid could be heard by the
crowd below. The electricity was en-
low were Spell-bOund with horror, and
was soon augmented by many scores of
people who are always on the streets
about that busy corner.
1t so happened that Supt. Charles w.
Phipps, of the Brush Electric Light
company, was visitor to the theater.
he came out at THIS moment clad in full
dress and took in the situation at a
glance. With the assistance of Manager
Dunlivey he succeeded in releasing the
lineman from his terrible position only
too late, for the poor man was already
past all help. DR.. Geogage, who was
also IN the audience, worked over the
man for half hour in the vain effort to
resuscitate him before the ambulance ar
rived. The New York hospital ambu-
lance took the limp body on board and
made rush for Fifteenth street. When
the ambulance arrived at the hospital
the lineman was dead.

SURPRISED AND sKEPTICAL.
Nettleton's Figures Locked Upon
With Lncredulity.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The Post says:
The statement published by Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Nettleton
to-day, showing that the disbursements
OF the United States treasury for inter-
est and purchase of bonds for pensions
and ordinary expense of the govern
ment have exceeded the collections of
customs aud of internal and miScellane-
Gus revenue by nearly $40, 100000 in
the last thirty days, was certainly
great surprise to the business public.
1t was so contradictory to the general
belief, founded upon the knowledge of
the payments of customs at New York,
that many persons, and among
them many bankers, were skeptical
as to whether there was not something
more plausible than real in the show
ing. The fact is that the subtreasury
in New York has been a constant alb
sorber of money from the general mar
ket until within the last ten days. In
August the collections of the subtreas-
ury for customs and internal and mis-
cellaneouS revenue were $50. sol ,666, and
the disbursements for interest, pur-
chase OF bonds, pensions and ordinary
expenses OF the government were only
S75, ,2S0, ,591, showing an absorption of
5,500,0U0 into the New York snbtreas-
ury in August. 1t was only when the
pensions began to come out since Sept.
that the payment of 50, 900 of pen
siOnS in the last ten days has reversed
this showing, so that the receipts of the
New York SubtreaSury .Since Sept. l
have been S24 444 444, 402 and the disburse-
mentS S3S,46O,277.

tanning such palpable charge of cor
ruptiOn upon the senate that the house
could not refrain from putting it's con-
demnatlon upon them. This was no
place to attack members of the
senate. The rules and courtesy
which had always been maintained in
this body had protected its members
against assaults from the. senate, and
the senators from assaults from the
members of the house. He trusted, in
the interest of what was right, of what
was due to the house in honor to itself,
that no technicality should be allowed
