REPLYING TO IGNATIUS.
THE REV. WILLIAM r. HUNTfNGToNs VIEWS
ABOUT THE MONK.


The war which the English monk Ignatius is making
against alleged hercsy in the Episcopal Church still
goes on with undated vlgor. The monk received an
answer yesterday TO the letter he sent to the Rev.
william II. Huntington. Father Huntington refers
TO the monk as the Rev. j. J.. Lyme, and expresses
doubt OF the monks accuracy as o reporter Of DIR.
Newtons sayings. lie admits the hight Of any man
10 ncite him TO the discharge Of his duty Christian
minister but declares that the monk has not been ex-
pcit enough in his charges and holds that only such
charges should be made will admit proof. He says
further "Upon one point have the happiness TO find
myself I'm complete accord with Mr.. Lyme. He holds
and hold that when a clergyman OF the Episcopal
Church has reached o stage where he no longer be
lievcs and therefore longer honestly teach the
armations Of the Apostles Greed he is In honor bound

lntrustcd upon the understanding that he did 20 DO
Ilcye and would so teach. But when II comes 10 de-
terminng that in the case Of a particular brother
clergyman such stage has actually been reached. We
must proceed with caution
The monk has already replied TO the Rev. Nr.
Hunngtons letter. lie gives specific references for
hi, charges Most Of them are based on articles pub
ushed in a monthly paper issued by the rector Of
All souls Church. The monk points out the papers.
pages and lines In which alleged heretca uttcrances
Dr. Morgan Dix refused 10 say anything yesterday
about Father Ignatlus's letter TO him. lie admitted
that lie had received IT, but refused TO say whether
NOT he would answer it. The Rev. b. F. DE Costa
said that he intended to the monks letter. but
needed time 10 prepare his reply.

IN GENERAL IND IN PARTICULAR.


INSPECTOR Byrnes's unsuccessful pursuit OF .. Ine
Water-st. butcher is made the subject OF con-
siderable unfavorable comment and not 1eW
unfceling tests. Properly enough the ponce
officials have not taken the public into their
confidence. and about all that is positively
known as 10 their work is that they have kept
buslv at il and that it has thus far failed OF the
main object. Numerous arrests have been made
but the murderer is still at large. 1t may De
assumed without risk, or at least we nope 10
NAV that the Inspector and his men are greatly
disannointed at their lack of success. That they
arc somewha: humiliated and chagrned IS en-
t;relv nrobable. though the Inspector at an early
stapo Of his operations took pains to deny that
ba had ever snecred at the London police OF
hoa,ted of the superiority of the New-1 ork
force. He is doubtless particularly glad at this
moment that he was able to make that DENIAL
for the detectives of Europe are watching MS
movements with eager interest, ana perhaps re-
s,raining with difficulty disposition TO Sihi'e'
This community has not disclosed any signs
of excitement over the crime when pelpleAeS
the nolicc. but Of course there Is more interest
in the case and a kecner desire to have the MUIR
derer caught than if the circumstances ana de-
tails Of his bloody work had not strongly Sue-
pested the Whitechapel mysteries. That he Is
more than an imitatOP Of lar more ShllIui
original is rot generally believed, but still there
il doubt enough remaining to provoke muc.l
curiosity as to the truth And since the truth
will not be positively known until the murderer
has been caught everybody shares in some de-
gree the anxiety of the detectives.
TO confess disappointment, however, at the
embarrassment of the police is not equivalent
r. a condemnation Of their methods in this par
ticular case, and still less is it equivalent to a
vote of general want of confidence. 1t is I'M
fortunate that a murderer upon whom the at
tention of the force is concentrated should
escape arrest for 50 many days, but it would be
unjust to forget that the Department which
doesn't succeed in laying hold of single adroit
criminai, who is very likely aided by the pc
culiar characteristics of lunacy, is the Depart
ment which has made and keeps New York
creditably safe and peaceful by day and night

THE LATEST FROM THE CANAL RING.

THE LATEST FROM The CANAL RING.
Governor Hills latest move in the interest Oh
the canal ring was made in the Assembly yes
terday. Like his prcposterous bill providing
for the appointment of non-partisan investl-
ca.ihr commission by the most INSCRIPTIONS
and thorough going partisan in the State, even
himself II was ir'endei TO divert attention from
the Laughn re, ion. II is silly move, ana
is worthy OF MOTTO y because it attests thai
the Democrats OF d Legislature have been
acting the part Of anSrf hypocrites' Ever
since the Laughlin resolution was introduced
they have protested, first that the canals ought
not 10 be investigated in the absence OF specnc
charges; and second, that in case an inyestiga-
tion was ordered it ought to be conducted by
non-partisan body. Yet yesterday, in utter
disregard Of these two positions, the Democratic
leader of the Assembly introduced resolutions
providing for the appointment OF no less th"h
six partisan committees to investigate matters
no one of which is the subject OF speclilc
charge.
Of course, the Republicans of the Legislature
will not be swerved from the path OF duty by
device so dishonest and feeble as this They
know. as every Democrat in the Legislature
knows, that these Hill investigating bills were
not introduced in good faith, but solely Tor po-
htical effect, and with the forlOrn hope OF rals-
ing dust which would hide the Laughlin canal
resolution. Do these Democrats really believe
that the people of this State are so dull as not
to see through their little game? Every in
telligent voter who keeps himself informed In
regard to what goes on at Albany is aware that
the resolution which is pending in the Senate
is the genuine article, has back OF 1t an earnest
patriotic purpose, while the Hill bills which
the resolution inspired are bogus, were not con-
ceived with the desire of promoting public re-
form. but for buncombe and bluff.
Only two more days remain of the session OF
1891. DO the obstructionists of the Senate pro-
nose to assume the responsibility of defeating
the Worlds Fair bill and other measures III
which the entire State is interested? DO they
propose to fight the battle of the canal ring
until final adjournment, no matter how serious
may be the injury which they thus in1lict upon
the public welfare? Have they entirely lost
sight of what Is due to their own regulations, to
the solemn oaths to which they subscribed when
they began their career as Senators? These
mestions will soon answer themselves.

A revelation of startling character was made
Yesterday regarding Mr.. John T. Hill, who at
the time Of his death on March 1, was the pres
ident of the Ninth National Bank OF this city
II appears that he had for some time made use
of the banks funds for speculative purposes
apparently covering up his dishonesty by de-
posting securities belonging to certain estates
of which he was trustee The embezziemehts
amounted to more than 100000 Mr.. Hill all
the time led an apparently straightforward and
upright life, and died with the respect and
esteem Of his friends, to whom these disclosures
must be most painful shock Fortunately the
banks capital has not been impaired by the
crooked ways Of its late president Bank Ex-
aminer Hepburn and the Clearing House Com
mittee unite in declaring that it is entitled to
the full confidence of its depositors.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE on BROOKLYN

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE ON BROOhLfN.

in furtherance of scheme to saddle the trolley
system of railways upon the fourth most pop
ulous city of the country. The Commissioners
are committed by previous decision to the wise
policy of excluding the trolley system from use
within the limits Of pcpuous cities; and it IS
not 70 be hastily concluded that they arc going
70 reverse themselves at the solicitation OF men,
however prominent, who have suburban trolley
electric railways requiring extension into the
city to be made more profitable than now, or
owners of horse-car lines whose traffic has been
seriously interfered with by the electric rail-
ways.
The Railway Commissioners have given one
hearing to applicants, headed by General Henry
w. Slocum, for an extension to within the city
limits Of his line which now runs from "no-
where" at the southern entrance OF Prospect
Park to " no place at Coney Island They are
TO give another hearing on May 6, at which an
additional application by the good Deacon Rich
ardson for permission to string a line of wires
conveying the deadly electric power along
Seventh-ave. will bo considered. These two
applications are merely the entering wedges for
opening the brooklyn streets to electric railways
wherever surface lines are now operated. The
State Railroad Commissioners have no authority
in the matter; all they can possibly do is to
assent to the use Of the trolley system within

hands, and is easily capable of being made, and
undoubtedly will be made, the means Of great

upon the foundation of such an institution with

Premier Fielding, Of Nova Scotia, having
officially declared in the Parliament Of that Prov
incc that Newfoundand's refusal TO sell bait
to Canadian fishermen would bring absolute ruin
to the fishing industry of Nova Scotia, The IT'D
une recently remarked that this was a confession
of the truth of its charge that Canada has no oaiC
supply Of any importance that it can only NJ ouI
our fishermen by first drawing on the vast DALI
market of Newfoundland; that in charging us a
license fee for the privilege of buying oai1 az
Halifax it acts upon q dishonest prctence ana oS
that pretence it cheats our people on the one
hand and the Newfoundlanders on the other, aha
that Sir John Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper
in proposing that we admit Canadian fishery prou-
ucts free of duty in return for the right 10 pur-
chase bait without this tribute are assuming our
ignorance of the fact that they have no bait to
sell, and are attempting to presume upon 1t.
THE Halifax Herald" Sir Charles Tupper's organ
employs these observations as the text for olt'er
attack upon Mr. Fielding for having told tho truth
and exposed the fraud. 1t seems TO be OF opinion
that it is unpatriotic if not reasonable for q
Provincial officer even for the purpose of securing
the interests of his own people. to refuse TO be
party to this Tory game Of fraud. Mr. Fielding
sees his fishermen, though the season is we'll ad-
vanced held at home by their inability to obtain
bait. and he knows that if Newfoundland persists
in its policy OF discrimination Nova Scotias fishery
industry is practically ruined but he must not say
a word about it, or attempt in any way to induce
the Newfouudlandnrs TO be generous, because. for
sooth, he will give away" Sir John Macdonald
fraud on the Americans! We question If this sort
of morality is indorscd by the people OF Canada.
However. The Herald" may as well become recon-
ciled to the fact that the game is up. Canadian
licenses are not worth the paper they are written
on. unless they are good in the ports of Ncwound-
land. or unless Halifax can draw freely from the
bait supplies of St. Johns American captains
know this perfectly, and they will keep their money
in their pockets or dsburse it in Fortune Bay.

from the press of this city and Brooklyn, it has

An official statement has been made regard
ing one of the subjects which Governor Hill will
assign for the Legislatures consideration at the
extra session which may be summoned At
least. if the statement of "The Wine and Spirit
Gazette" regarding the Hill-Schaaff Liquor bill
is not official. it may be accepted as authori
tative. The organ of the saloons says that the
Governor will include this measure in the busi-
ness to be done by the extraordinary session.
This is highly interesting, but not important in
the sense that ii means legislation on the excise
question. The Senate, of course, will never
pass the bill which is acceptable to the Assem-
bly, and the saloons.
