 PHILLIPS BROOKS SUCCESSOR. Dr. Donald Regfns His Ministry fin
 Trinity Church-The Edihce was
 Threnged.
 BOSTON, Dec. 1S.-Dr. E. W. Donald entered the pulpit of Trinity church this morning and with that act began his min istry in Boston. Every seat was occupied and the galleries were crowded, the chan. eel was filled and the side aislss thronged. Dr. Donald's text was: "And the Lord add ed to the church daily such as should be saved." Dr. Donald did not make prom ises or declare innovation. In what he said of the spirit of the church he showed that he was abreast of advanced thought. He demanded real not formal Christianity. When he spoke of the church from the standpoint of political economy he seemed like the business man in the pulpit. He maintained he had material as well as @ spiritual work to do, and said that if the church expected to be aided by the state in the remission of its taxes, it ought to be willing and able to render material advan. tsge back to the state.
 Without comparing himself favorably oI unfavorably with Phillips Brooks, Dr. Donald said he felt sure the ministry oi the former rector would make his own work in the parish easier, on account oi the high spiritual plane to which the church had been raised

RUSSIAN NIHILISTS.

Meth olds Pursued by the Boston CoI-
 ony for Securing Circulation in
 Russia of Their Literature.
 BOSTON, Dec. 1S.-A gentleman we'll &C., quainted with the Russian nihilists in this city tells the following story:
 Not over three months ago an assortment of books was sent from the United States to Russia by the section B, Nihilistic soci- ety. They consisted of the French revolu- tion, the late American war, and others of the same kind but all were slightly changed to suit the purposes ot nihilism. Books of that kind are forbidden to be read in Rus sla, and the penalty is sometimes large fine or exile in Siberia. The Russian government sometimes pays large sums in rewards for information of the kind. The books are never taken over the same route twice, they are printed in New York in Hebrew, German and Polish, but not in Russian, so when in crossing over to Russia they are found the cus- toms house officer, who is usually Rus sian, is not likely to understand them. But it seems that those books sent from here did not have the usual luck and the consequence is the arrest of fifty men in the cities of Wsrso, Wilno and Koyono, the majority being young Hebrews."

NEXT MOVE IN THE FIGHT.

Officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in ConsuIta- tion With Directors of the Connec- ticut River Road-A Lively Meeting
 of stockholders fin Prospect.
 BOSTON, Dec. 18.-A Herald special
 from Springfield, Mass, says: The New
 York, New Haven and Hartford officials
 do not propose ts give up the fight to ob-
 tain control of the Connecticut River rail-
 road, as is shown by the fact that Vice
 President Futile and two other officials of
 the Consolidated railroad were in this city
 till late hour Saturday night. Their time
 was spent at the offices of the Connecticut River road in consultation with a number of the directors of the road who are favor able to the company in this. From good authority it has been learned that the next move in the fight will be 8 petition from the River road directors to the next legislature asking for leave to increase the capital stock, and if permission is granted pains will be taken to have the new stock get into the hands of persons favor able to the Consolidated road. Local people interested on one side or the other regard it ss highly sig nifcant that President Clark of the New Haven is still in Boston, while MT. Futile is apparently working the Springfield end. What else was done at the meeting is unknown, but it is certain that other means of getting the best of the Boston and Maine officials were discussed.
 The meeting or the stockholders next Friday will be lively one, as charges of tresehery will be advanced against the directors and stockholders who sold their stock on Thursday and Friday. sERETARY FOSTERS RESOLVE. The Treasury's Gold Reserve Will be
 Maintained-Export Anticipated.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. IS 1S-Secretary of the Treasury Foster to-day expressed himself respecting the alarm felt in financial cir oles over anticipated large gold exports. He said:
 "My duty will be performed in the in terest of the public welfare ss vigorously as if my time were not soon to end. Every resource at my hand will be used to main tain the parity of gold and silver as am commanded by law"
 Glow about the reserve in the treas urys'
 "No one can obtain gold from the treas ury without paying money for it, and with the money thus received can reooup the gold. There is also the right vested in the treasury to sell bonds, if necessary, to maintain the gold reserve. The treasury situation as to the cash balance is such as to permit the free use of cash received for gold to again obtain the gold"
 twill the gold reserve be maintained"
 'It will"
 This was stated with the utmost empha- | sis. "I firmly believe that with the re- sources at the command of the department I'shall not be seriously embarrassed in more than maintaining 1t. I recommend to congress that the reserve be increased from 100, 900, 900 to 125, ,0O0, ,000." As the secretary's report was prepared before the present abnormal drain of gold to Europe started Secretary Foster claimed credit for fully anticipating the present pressure and taking all precautions to meet it.
