What Richard K. Fox Saw and Meard while Ne
Mas Abroad.

NV YosK, Nov. S0-Richsrd X. Fos
returned to this city on Sunday morning
from England. He has been abroad TO,
the past I'VE mouths. When reporter saw
him at his office he had much to
say about matters pertaining to
English fighters. He said 1T IS my
opinion that Charles Mitchell Is earn
es, in his desire to iigh, Corbesi. Charles,
may tell you, hasn't many friends in
England. aud he mist do something to
square himself with bis country men, If he
agrees TO meet Corbett and goes aboutit IN
a business way my belief is thai all his bad
traits will be overlooked. While | was in
London learned that the English people
want TO see Mitchell defeated. His recent
escapade with that old man Savage only
served To raise the feeling against him..
Ibid YOU see Jim Hall while in Lon
don 2" asked the reporter.
..th, yes" replied Mr.. Fox slowly.
Hall il looking well, and his gen;lemanly
bearing and conduct have won for him
many friends. His victory over Ted
Pritchari is regarded in England TO be a
grand Que. Hall has been living with
Mitchell for some time. As to his prospec-
tive fight with Bob Fitzsimmons before the
Crescent Club of New Orleans for s4o,-
900 purse Hall says tina, he is going to
go into the ring to WIN; that he would train
conscientiously for the battle, and If he lost
he would take his gruei like a man"
Anything new about Paddy Slavin:"
No. only that he is doing well with his
public houses in London and coniining him
self strictly to business. don't think Sla-
vim will fight again while prosperity shines
upon him.
Mr. Fox in conclusion remarked that
Mitchell had told him that Immediately
upon his arrival in this city he would de-
post forfeit viih the Police Gazette and
sign articles to fight Corbett at any time be-
fore the club offering the best inducement.
Mitchell is not averse to fight before the
Coney Island Club, even if Hall should
meet Fitzsmmons down South. Mr.. Fox
believes that if Corbett ever visits England
he will make money. He also says that the
English sporting people consider Peter
Jackson the best pueiiist the ring has ever
produced. and if Peter and "Pompadour
jim" ever try conclusions pile of English
money will go on the black man.

Or. SMITHS TRIAL


Cu-cf>NATI, Nov 30.--'Ihc trial proper
of Prof. Henry Preserved Smith began to-
dav. The prosecuting committee, by direc-
ton of the court began to Introduce testi-
mony in support of the first charge. They
read two articles written by Prof. Smith,
and published in the New York Evangelist,
March and April last, in which he discussed
the ordination vow and freedom of opinion
among ministers. lie declares therein the
absurdity of expecting entire conformity OF
views among ministers and says it would he
a simple impossibility for every minister to
conform even to the views of the majority
of the general assembly.
Speaking of the suggestion that IT one
finds himself unable to conform to the
views of the majority he should seek some
other church, he SAY $ he cannot find con-
genial church, and to found n new one he
regards scliismatic and sinful. There are
too many sccts already. He argues, in the
articles read. that there is no iron clad
standard of belief covering all questions in
theology, to which a minister is bound 10
subscribe 10 justify him in continuing in
the work to which he feels he is called.
Prof Smith admitted that he wrote the
articles cited from the Evan gelist and sai
he had no testimony to offer in defense
He held that the committees Interpretation
of his language was not warranted.
This being the issue Rev. Mr.. Lowe
made the opening argument. lie main
tained that Prof Smith, while inquring
into the principles of the church, had done
il in such a way in these articles as to in
lure the peace and purity of the church, be-
cause if the church organization was to be
maintained it was indispensable that the
Bible be regarded as absolutely infallible.
Prof. Smith replied. He complained OF
the ambiguity of the charge, which might
mean to charge him with disloyalty, denial
of right of discipline, or violation of his
VOWS He denied disloyalty to the church
and claimed the articles were written to
maintain the authority of the church. lie
said there was no evidence to show that he
impugned the Westminster doctrine, or as
sailed the fundamental principles of the
church order as set forth III the form of
government, or that he taught disloyalty to
the church, or had in any way injured tile
peace or purity of the church.
The closing argnmhnt was made by Mr..
Mckbben of the prosecuting committee.
lie stated that the question was simply
whether the testimony adduced by the com
nittee. its Interpretation of what Prof.
Smith has taught is correct. His argument
followed closely the language Of the ar,i-
cles cited to sustain the committees posi-
lion, aud he quoted from the authori'
ties to show that Prof. Spiih's
teachings are not in conformity with the
standard of the church. He regretted tina,
Prof. Smith had not disavowed any inten
ton to teach what the committee asserted
tba, he had taught. Adjourned till tomor

the xalssR,s DISEASE,
n Is Belisvsd that Ne hss \ casesress Aaee-
tiea IN Mis- Ear

Loxn.x. Nov. 3o.--A correspondent
sends from Berlin information concerning
the nature of the Empercr's present inds-
position. and its connection with the
1lrronc disease of the Emperor's car. There
is i',tle doubt that the 'scold" from which
Emperor willism suffers at present is re-
new al of the trouble with his ear. This
trouble was supposed TO have been allayed
for some time by the beneficial effects of
the Emperors whaling voyage. II has sp-
pearei again, however, with increased vio-
lence.
The physician in ordinary to His Majesty
admits only that the Emperor suffers from
otorrhsa. The Emperor, he says. rs is
customary with victims of this disease.
shows often symptoms of great cerebral
irritation, lasting for few days and then
then passing away entirely for some time.
During these periods of the disease the
Emperor has attacks of dizziness and
severe pains on that side Of the head near
es, the affected ear. The Emperor's physi-
elan saws that the tympanum of the Em-
perior,s ear is the seat Of a protrscted sup
pursiion. By constant care the court
from the ear free egress-
TO relieve the pain all serious danger TO the
patients health is avoided. Nevertheless the
course of treatment is insufficient to prevent
all local pains, ami periodically the Emperor
suffers extremely.
At such tines the Emperor is nervous
and irritable, and in this condition he has
made some of the remarkable speeches
which evil-kisposed persons have attributed
to excess of wine OF aspirations towart des-
potism.
While the Emperors physician has made
these admissions, men of higher scientific
reputation who have been called for con
sultation within the last two years do not
believe in this theory of benign Illness,
but recognize in the case malign disease
Of the ear.
In such case any inattention to the dis
charge or suspension of treatment at u crit-
cal time may place the Emperor IN the
gravest peril. The membrane may at any
time tbickeu over the roof of the ,ympannm
and perforaiion of the membrane be fol-
lowed by fatal results.
The Emperor is believed by the men
opposing the theory of benign illness to hc
from canccrous or humorous
affection, and as the former is more com
mon. they incline to the belief that the dis
ease is caneerous. This conclusion is par
TALLY justified in view of the present En-
peror's inheritance from his father, En-
peror Frederick, who died of cancer of the
throat.
Concerning the nature of the Emperor
present illness no exact information is oh
tainable but apparently he has only one of
periodical attacks, accompanied by the
symptoms already described. During such
attacks he ahstains from work as much as
possible and avoids the cold. Otherwise
he is able to follow the usual routine OF his
lif.

CANADIAN EXODUS


WAsnlNoroS, Nov. 3o,--Thc extent of
the exodus from Canada to the United
States is shown by figures derived from the
census office through the efforts of Erastns
Wiman The facts show that the number
of Canadians in the country at the taking of
the census of 1890 was 9s3 900, compared
with III 900 in 1880. Natural loss by
death for 10 years should aggregate about
ls0. 900, making total increase of about
IA 900, showing a percentage of exodus
from Canada equal to more than 60 per
cent.
From 1850 the New England states con-
tanned 10000 Canadians. In ten years
the number reached $50 900. of this lat
ter number a05, 900 were French and l15.-
900 English. Information Cleaned from
outside sources by Mr.. Wiman indicates
that since 1880 the exodus from Canada to
the [ nited States has been in much larger
proportion than in the previous ten years
and At present cannot he less than 900 900
Canadians in the nited States.
