Union Of Catholics and Protestants in
Religious Work.
PARIS. Dee. 4.-Pere Hyacinthe, in his
advent sermon in the Protestant chapel
III the Rue Taitbout yesterday, explained
the objects Of the new religious aoctiety
composed of Catholics and Pro,estants
called the National Society of Evan
gelization and founded by himself
and Pastor Mattetal. ex-president of
the conslstory of the Lutheran Church.
Pere Hyacinthe said skepticism arose
from the Journalism and inclusivism in
the routine of the various Christian
churches. He appealed for union of
Catholics and Protestants as realizing
this idea of the new church and en-
bracing all those known as Christians.

NOT WHAT IS NEEDED.
Project of Removing the Wisconsin Building
to Milwaukee Abandoned.

Christian Vail, when asked this after
noon with regard to the progress made
toward removing the Wisconsin Worlds
Fair building to this city and placing it
!n one of the public parks, said that
after a careful investigation of the
matter he had about concluded
that it would hardly be desirable
to remove the structure to Milwaukee
for the reason that its general style
would not be adaptable to the wants of
readily utilized, but the upper story and
attic would be useless. The cost of
transportation, Mr.. VAIL says Won Id be
sufficient to erect structure suitable to
the wants of the board. His project for
the transfer of the fair building was
suggested by a feeling of sentiment.
There is 10 ready cash on hand at
present, and the entire plans may be
dropped for the winter.

FACTS ABOUT PENSIONS.
Estimate of the Sum Required for the
Next Fiscal Year.

The secretary of the interior has the super
vision OF so many important subjects that his
report is of especial value and interest. On the
30th day of June. 1898, there were the pension
rolls 966,0l2 names an increase of 39,941 over
the number on the rolls June so, 1892. OF these
there were II widows and daughters of revoiu-
rionary soldiers, Sc survivors of the war of 1872
80 widows of soldiers of that war, 21,5lS sur
viNors and widows Of the Mexican war 1852
army nurses, and 475,645 survivors and
widows and children of deceased soldiers
and sailors of the war of the re-
hose o ataf ums f
death resulting from army and navy service
The number OF persons remaining on the rolls
June 80, 1893, who were pensioned under the act
OF June p, 1890, which allows pensions on ac-
count OF death and disabilities not chsrgeable
TO army service, was 4,59l,555. The number
added to the rolls during the year was 123, 63i,
and the number dropped was 81. 600 The first
payments on pensions allowed during the year
amounted to So, $40, 9S. This includes arrears
or the accumulation between the time from
which the allowance of pension dates and the
time of actually granting the certificate

disabilities not related to military service vet as

ance OF manual labor to such degree
as to render them unable to earn a support
The execution of this law in its early stages
does not seem to have been in accord with its
true intention; but toward the close Of the last
administration an authoritative construction
was given to the statute and since that time this
construction has been followed. This has had
the effect of limiting the operation of the law
to It's intended purpose. The discovery having
been made that Elany names had been put upon
the pension roll by means of wholesale and gi-
gantc frauds, the commissioner suspended paw
ments upon number of pensions which seem
to be fraudulent or unauthorized. pend

might have an opportunity to establish, if posi-

ORDERED TO HONOLULU.
The Cutter Ccrwin Gene to Hawaii On a Sc
crat Mission.

CF5G M!SSiCN.
SAN Francisco, Cal, Dec. 4.-The
United States revenue cutter Thomas
Corwin is under special orders for
2.5O0 mile trip. Her destination is
Honolulu without doubt and she may
be expected to leave this afternoon or
tomorrow morning. Whether any
person in diplomatic authority is
coming here from Washington to 60
to the islands on the CorWin is
not known. 1t is quite likely,
however, that special messenger
entrusted with secrets of state will be
the emissary who will occupy one OF the
staterooms already set apart in the after
cabin. The greatest secrecy has been
maintained since the special orders ar
rived Saturday noon. These turned the
cutter over to the State Department and
placed her under waiting orders. In
structons were also given to prepare
for $500 mile voyage and to be ready
to sail in forty eight hours. A heavy
supply of coal has been slowed away on
the Corwin's decks III addition to that
in the bunkers.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4.-Secretary
Gresham declined to say anything this
morning in regard to the report that
the revenue cutter Thomas Corwin was
to carry message on behalf of the
State Department from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. There is reason
to suppose, however, that the story
is substantially correct. Secretary
Gresham was busy with dispatches dur
ing the latter part of yesterday which
are to go on the Corwin. AS to what
these contain nothing can be learned.
Secretary Gresham has been very en-
phatc in his assertion at different
times that Minister Willis had
received no further instructions since
his departure from this country and
that he needed none. This gives rise
to the surmisc that dispatch 30 urgent
as to require special messenger at this
time can only be caused by change In
the policy intended to be pursued.

Drawbac'-, to Tobacco Culture.

DraWDac"' TO TOBACCO future.
The occasional large profits from
rowing tobacco were much more
common formerly than Of lite years.
The business is no longer confined to
few localities. Even those who
have grown the crop longest and best
understand its needs are doubtful
whether it pays better than the same
,abOr and care would give in other
crops, to say nothing OF the extra skill
which is more necessary for the grow
ar OF tobacco than anything else.
Tobacco must have the richest land
on the farm. and as it returns nothing
TO the soil while taking its most yalua-
bic elements, it is hard to keep tobac-
co farms from growing poor. Thus
the high product OF single acre is
hardly safe rule to prove its profit
ableness Much labor and expensive
buildings are required. When the to-
Oacco crop is given up much Of the
valuable capital invested must be
sacrificed. Many a farmer would like
to stop growing the crop but his to.
bacco land is too rich for ANYTHING
else. and the rest OF his farm has be.
come too poor for profitable working.
