Secretary Blaine tonight sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Governor Nichols at
New Orleans
:, DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March Is, 1891.
MS EAceliency, Francis I. Nichols, Gov
ernor OF Louisiana, New Orleans:
1t has been represented to the Presi .
dent by the minister of Italy accredited
TO this Government, that a nong the vic.
inns OF tho deplorable massacre which
TOOK place in the city of New Orleans
yesterday were three or more subjects of
the King of Italy.
Our treaty with that friendly govern
ment (Which, under the constitution, is
the supreme law of the land) guaran-
tees to Italian subjects domiciied in the
United States the most constant protec-
ton and security for their persons and
property. making them amenable on the
same basis as our own citizens to tho
laws of the United States and of the
several States, in their duo and orderly
administration.
The President deeply regrets that the
citizens Of New Orleans should have so
dlsparaged the purity and adequacy of
their own judicial tribunals as to trans
fer the passionate Judgment OF a mob
the question that should have been adj
judged dispassionately and by settled
rules OF law. The government of the
United States must give to the subjects
OF friendly powers that security which
1T demands for our own citizens when
temporarily under foreign jurisdiction.
1T is the hope of the President that
you will cooperate with him in main
tanning the obligations of the United
States toward the Italian subjects who
may be within the perils of the present
excitement, that further bloodshcd and
violence may be prevented, and that all
offenders against the law may be
promptly brought to Justice.

THE VENERABLE DIR. RossER

breaches One of His Famous Sermons at
the Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian Church was filed to
its utmost capacity yesterday morning.
Many were standing in the aisles, and q
large number failed to find standing
room. The pulpit was filled by the
we'll known and venerable DR.. Leo Ros.
ser.
One of the most striking personages
at this conference is the venerable and
aged DR.. Rosser, who Is visitor from
the Virginia Conference.
DR.. Rosser has long, thick white hair
that reached down to his shoulders, and
a long. snowy head that reminds one OF
the pictorial Bible illustrations of the
prophet Jeremiah or of Nathan, when
he pointed his finger at David and said,
'Thou art the man."
His theme was "Recognition in
Heaven" AS an evidence that we shall
known our friends in the future state
the speaker referred to the instinct OF
the untutored races which is shown by
their burial customs; he next quoted the
opinions of the cultured Greeks and
Romans, which point to the hope OF
meeting loved ones beyond the Styx.
A third argument was that of reason;
since 1T is true that not one atom in the
physical world has ever been annihi-
lated, tits not probable that the memory
will be destroyed in the transaction
from life to immortality.
10 illustrate the power of the men,
DRY, he related that 1850 he met the
blind man eloquent, DR.. Milburn, for
the first time. and did not meet him
again till 1875. AT the second meeting
he was instantly recognized by DR.. Mil
burn, and at their third meeting in 'S3
the recognition was equally prompt.
The strongest are from revelation. In
Gods word are to be found numerous
passages which can be explained ONLY
on the theory that those Christians who
have knowd and loved each other here
shall renew their acquaintance and
friendship in heaven.
At tho close of his sermon he de-
scribed most touchingly several death
bed scenes, in which dying Christians
seemed to see the faces and forms of
those who had gone before.
During the delivery of the address the
closest attention prevailed, and at the
conclusion of the services many who
had known DR.. Rosser in other DAYS and
scenes went forward to grasp his hand.
Mrs. DR.. Hodgson sang On offertory in
her most finished style: ST heard the
voice of Jesus say"
Immediately after the sermon tho
choir sang with fine effect HYMN No.
1854 to the music of the prayer from the
Freischutz.

Without the incarnation of Christ there
could be no correct idea of God.
There would be ne true ideals, and
men and nations rise no higher than
their ideals.
Man was created to sway the sceptre
over the world, and made the highest
type of things after Gods own image;
but after his fall God was revealed
through His own Son that man might
know his needs and possibilities and to
make the progress of the race possible.
The application Of these principles and
the result is plain and simple. ES
To sum up the whole need of human
1ty: 1t is constant and abiding faith in
Christ. This would settle the social
and ethical problems OF the day and re-
organize society.
The despair of human intellect is ap-
palling. Never in the history of tho
race was intellect so perplexed over
questions OF morals. There is greatest
danger at the point where the weak are
left unaided and the downtrodden are
not lifted up; where men live for them
selves; where the mad rush of progress
must not be interrupted by efforts to
raise the fallen.
This revelation teaches US that Christ
died for all, and that all men are
brethren. Bishop Hendrix closed the
strong sermon, of which the above is
only an imperfect outline, with an elo-
quent exhortation to the ministers Of
the conference to go forth and preach
Christ as revealed in his incarnation.
After the sermon Bishop Hendrix Or
da1ned the following deacons: j. Nc

DIR. Barbee breaches.

DR.. j. b. Barbee, the senior book
agent, of Nashville, Tenn, looked out
on the sea of faces from the pulpit of
Greene Memorial Church last night.
Long before the service began every
seat was taken and hundreds were
turned away. DR.. Barbee took for his
text the 4th chapter Of Matthew, l to IL
verses inclusive. Christ's temptation
in the wilderness was his subject.
To those who had not heard the doc
tors eloquence rare surprise awaits
them. Many say it was the most pow
erful discourse ever delivered in the
city. 1t was happy description of how
the Savior of men was subjected to the
greatest temptation ever known. 1t
was trying hour, yet he demonstrated
the power OF the spirit over the weak
ness of flesh, and cast aside the ltempter
that he might learn men the greatest of
all lessons, 'Get the behind me, Satan"
After the sermon Bishop Hendrix or

FL0RLDA'S SENATORSHIP
THE ATTORNEY oE ERAL AGAINST
THE GOVERNOR.

He Refuses to Issue a Mandamus Or
dering the Secretary OF State to Sign
and Seal the Appoiptment of Mr..
Davidson-1he Legislative Proceed
ings Certified To.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Oct. l9.-On Friday
last John Crawford, secretary of state. at
tached his signature and the great seal Of
the state of Florida to copy of the pro-
ceedings OF the joint session Of the lezis-
lature from April IL to May 20 in
elusive. certifying to the correctness of the
same. This shows, of course, the proceed
ings of May 26, upon which date Wilkin-
sou Call was declared duly elected
United States senator. This is the only in
strument bearing the signature of Secretary
Crawford aud the seal of the state. He de-
clined absolutely to atfix them to the gov
erDor's certificate OF Mr.. Davidson's ap-
piontment. Some days ago Gov. Fleming
instructed Attorney General Lamar 70 in
stitute In the supreme court proceedings for
the issuance of mandamus compelling
Secre ary Crawford to sign and seal this
appointment of Mr.. Davidson This morn
Ing Attorney General Lamar filed
with the governor his official
reply to the governors instructions,
In which he declines TO institute such pro-
ceeulngs, giving his reasons the efOr in de-
tail. The attorney general holds that there
Is nothing in the constitution or the stat
utes OF the state or United States warrant
ing such proceedings. He has, from the
first been Of the opinion that Mr.. Call was
legally elected and would be seated. Mr..
Gall already has in his possession this certi-
he'd copy of the joint session of the legisla-
ture. and Senator Pasco will present 1t to
the Senate on the opening day of the
session.
Under the constitution the attorney general
Is the governors legal adviser. but in the
matter OF the election of the United States
senator the governor did not seek the
opinion or advice of the attorney general,
but delivered his own opinion in an address
to the people of Florida. he now seeks the
aid OF the attorney general TO back him up
In the position which he has taken.
Attorney General Lamar's paoer sets forth
as his opinion that as Mr.. Davidson Is the
person in interest, he is the proper party to
institute proceedings in mandamus before
the supreme court asking for a writ to CON-
pei Secretary Crawford TO attest the COM
mission and afiix the seal, aud not the state
through the attorney general 1t is said
that Gov. Fleming does not agree with the
attorney generals views, so far as they re-
late to the attorney generals not being the
proper party to Institute proceedings, and
That he will communicate further ON the
subject with the attorney general.

turned home from that city. Sir
Henry confesses that he has quite
changed his original opinion that New York
was the best city for the proposed expoSi-
tion. The citizens of Chicago are Justly
proud Of their city. He quite believed
that their private munificence would
supply any lack Of necessary funds
to make the exhibition a thorough
success. 1t is certain that the
Engli sh exhibitors will meet with every
possible facility. He advised them to send
goods suitable to South American con-
sumption. and for the American trade all
articles of art and luxury for the decoration
and adornment of homes, especially paint
ings, English art being leSs known to Amer
leans than it deserved to be. He had been
told that woolens, fine cloths and hardware
