"HoREsT JOHNS" SENTENCE,
Fifteen Years for Philadelphia Em-
bezzIing City Treasurer.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-Ex-City Treas
urer John Bardsley was sentenced this
morning by Judge Wilson to fifteen years
solitary confinement in the Eastern peniten-
tiary, and to pay a fine equal to the sum
which he pleaded guilty of embezzling. The
fine will amount to about 1921, $780,
The district attorney spoke briefly. AL
though not able to specifically show where
the money had gone, he said Bardsley's en-
bezzlements would amount to between $780,
600 and $500, 200.
The counsel for Bardsley reviewed the
statements made by his client, and appealed
to the court for mercy on the ground of
Bardsley's plea of guilty. and his past SER
vices to the city. He vehemently declared
that his client had not stolen dollar, but
that he had only pleaded guilty to statutory
offences of loaning, speculating with and
receiving interest on public funds.
Judge Wilson, in imposing the sentence,
said he could find no palliation for Bards-
ley's malfeasance, and his offence was also
open to censure from his abuse of official
position.
The severe words of the Judge caused the
prisoner most palpable distress. He almost
collapsed and seemed about to sink to the
floor from his chair. Nevertheless, before
Judge Wilson had concluded he regained his
composure and received the sentence with
apparent Indifference, not betraying the
slightest trace of emotion.

1t is understood that the controversy be-
tween the liberal and conservative wings Of
the Congregational denomination broke out
in the meeting OF the trustees Of Bowdoln
College at their meeting last week, small
minority questioning President Hyde's or
thodoxy. The members. it is said. Of the
graduating class, were called in and asked
whether or not they were satisfied as to the
soundness OF the theological instruction
they had received. 1t was most extraordi-
nary course to take, to call in students, and
as no action was taken IL may be inferred
both the young men and trustees were salts
fed. The friends Of the college should con-
gratulate themselves and the Institution that
1t was but small minority that raised the
doubt. 1t certainly shows that the new
school," to adopt generally used term, has
a strong hold on the institution, and that
they are satisfied as to the soundness of the
man who has done so much for the institu-
tion, which is now reaping such noble fruit
from his labors.

cOMPERs PROTESTS,
But Has No Fault to Find With Chief
Meredith.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-President Com
pers and Secretary Evans of the Federation
of Labor called on Secretary Foster today in
relation to the troubles in the bureau OF en-
craving and printing. They formally pro-
tested against the injustice of showing any
favoritism to any particular class Of plate
printers. Mr.. Gompers did not express any
objection to the Secretary's action in ignor-
ing the past record of the seven discharged
Knights of Labor, but he insisted that it
would be unfair to give those men any pref
erence over other persons occupying places
as chance" printers and applicants for
presses. President Gompers believed the
rules governing the employment of plate
printers should be strictly observed.
During the general talk with the
Secretary over affairs at the bureau, Mr..
Gompers expressed great confidence in the
fairness and ability Of Chief Meredith.
