MACQUEARY TALKS
On the Church and the Bible Before the
Nineteenth Century Club.

New YORK, April IA large and
respectable gathering Of members OF the
Nineteenth Century Club listened very
patiently for over an hour last night to
an address by the Rev. Howard Mac
Queary, the suspended Episcopal cer-
gyman of Canton.
He spoke on the "Religious Problem. y
Mr. MacQueary talked very rapidly and
touched on ali the debateable points of
theology, materialiSm, agnOsticiSm, evo-
luton, general science and philosophy.
After about an hour devoted to pre-
amble and Introductory and speculative
remarks, Mr.. MacQueary got down
nearer 70 the subject of his address.
II believe the day for dogmatism has
passed" he said. "Now we know that
both the Church and the Bible are falli-
Die. All that will be tolerated by falli-
Die men is an expression OF opinion.
Even that is not tolerated in some quar-
terS."
He said that the Roman Catholic doc
trine seemed more reasonable 10 him
than the Protestant doctrine, because it
claimed absolute infallibility FOR the
Church. lie could not accept that doc
trine, though. The authorship Of very
large proportion OF the books of the Old
and New Testament, he said, was un-
known, and IL was absurd to ask us to
accept their authority. The Bible was
full OF scientific errors and grOteSque
legends. and Solomon and David We're
not superior to Brigham Young. Speak
ing especially OF his own case, Mr.. Mac
Queary said:
1--WE simply take certain vows 1T ordl-
nation: these vows do not bind us to the
mere letter Of the creedS, but they dis
tinctly give us the right to interpret
these creedS by scripture, and scripture
by ascertained facts and reason. Who
made these dogmaS? Fallible men.
The Church distinctly provides for the
reconsideration of It's formulas as new
light breaks. Who are TO suggest alter
ations in dogmaS? Individuals. But
how can they make these alterations If
the people who make them are eXcom-
municatcd from the Church? The
spectacle Of Protestant church eXcom-
municating its members would be anus
ing If not pitiful.
after all, history, science and reason
are our only guides in religion

manner. Mr. WilletS spoke freely OF
the miSdoingS OF the capitalists, backed
by the national government, and the de-
plorable condition OF the farmers of

part OF his speech he made the
assertion that he did not propose to as
sail either OF the old political parties,

on them both. He denounced all politi-

WASHINGTON, April l5.-The S357,-

titled under the direct tax act, was paid
through the sub-treasury at Boston,
mainly In silver certificates. The quota
of Massachusetts, 100000, must be
paid at the same place. a telegram
was received at the Treasurer'S office
yesterday, from three banks, stating
that the payment Of this large sum in
silver certificates might cause great
monetary disturbance in New England,
and requesting the Treasurer to make
the payment in gold. In reply the De-
partment informed the bankers that it
would pay the warrant in lawful money
Of the United States, and Of such char

WASHINGTON, d. c., April l5.-Capt.
c. y. Cotley, Company c, Second lnfan-
try, who was recently acquitted by a
court martial at Omaha on Il charge Of
cowardice as a result of the Pine Ridge
campaign, has asked to be retired. He
is eligible for retirement having seen
thirty years service in the army, but
there is some question at the depart
ment about the propriety of giving
place on the limited retired list to Il
sound, seryiceable officer, while physic-
ally incapacitated men are kept walt
ing. However as the relations between
Captain Cotley and some of his brother
officers of the Second Infantry are
somewhat strained, it is probable that
his request will be granted in the inter-
est OF the service.

II it shall result that the case can be
prosecuted only in the State Courts OF

tigation and procedure under the Grim

The United States did not by the
treaty with Italy become the insurer Of
the lives or property of Italian subjects
resident within our territory. Foreign
residents are not made Il favored class.
If, therefore, it should appear that
among those killed by the mob at New
Orleans there were some Italian sub

the United States, and obeying the laws
thereof and of the State of Louisiana,
and that the public officers connived at
the work of the mob, or failed TO take
any steps for the preservation OF the
public peace, and afterwards to bring
the guilty to trial, the President would,
under such circumstances, feel thatoa
