In Aid of the Poor.

BOSTON, Dec. 11.-A meeting to devise ways and means for caring for the poor of Boston was held by the Evangelical alli- ance this morning. The attendance was large, but there were few prominent phi lanthropists present. Rev. Philip s. Mox- om believed that employers could do good service by contenting themselves with less profits, or no profit at all, and keeping their help employed. Superintendent Rob erts of the Industrial home suggested the propriety of opening the doors of the churches to the homeless wanderers on the streets, instead of shutting them out

MORE TROUBLE FEARED.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Dec. 1.-The weav- CTS of the Fletcher mills voted to- day to &C., cept the compromise and 1t was expected that work would be resumed on Wednes- day. While the rejoicing at the settlement was In progress a messenger came from MT. Fletcher with notification to the ef- feet that the weavers would not be permit ted to return to work In his mills until a settlement had been made with the Wey- bosset and Riverside mills.
 This information created great excite ment and the operatives were loud in their condemnation of MT. Fletcher. There is more danger of trouble now than at any time during the strike, as the temper of the operatives over this action Is very bad. The strikers only accepted MT. Fletcher's terms on his promise to give them more as soon as the market improved and that they were better than those offered by the Wey- bosset and Riverside mills.

DIR. ABBOTT AT YALE.

Henry Ward Beecher,s Successor speaks to An Immense Audience In Dwight Hall-The Power fthe Pull pit Not Gone.
 Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the successor of Henry Ward Beeoher as pastor of Ply mouth church, Brooklyn, and editor of the Outlook" lectured before an immense audience in Dwight ball last evening. Every available bit of space WAS occupied and many stood in order to be able to hear the speaker. Dr. Abbott has spoken to Yale audiences many times in late years, with whom he is always very popular.
 His lecture last evening was addressed to young men about to choose profession and he spoke In part as follows:
 'Tf you want to go into business you must ahow your capability as an honest man, and If you want to go into the pulpit you must be bold, courageous and energetic. Wherever you go and into whatever profession in life you enter you must show your ability You would not have 6 man on your foot ball team who had not shown his capabil- ity as a player A man shows his strength and skill even in 6 mock game on the cam pus. So no man is fit to take the responsi- bility of this great werk of Christ, who is not thoroughly prepared. The kind of men we want in the pulpit, In politics, in philanthrophy is the kind of a man that Tom Armstrong was when he said that if 8 man could not fully surmount an obsta- cle he should get up as far as he could and crow. We want men who will do all they can at least.
 "The power or organization" was next spoken of. Proceeding he said: "Thus the church or ecclesic is an immense or ganized body of men and women who have asserted themselves against the evil and wickedness of the world. And SO where 8 young man has thrown down the gsuntle; to all sin and vice in the world and de- clsred himself on the side of Christ, with 6 desire to do Christ's work and elevate the human race, he should be commended and encouraged.
 'I glory in the Church of Christ. I glory In the history of its past and in its associations. To-day 1t is the reservoir of the moral forces of the country.
 "There never was a time when there WAS better opportunity for smart and capable men to do the pulpit work of the country, and with this remark will close my dis course of the evening""
 Dr. Robert s. MoArthur. pastor of Cal vary Baptist church, will deliver the second lecture in the course early next term.

MINORITY VOTED DOWN.

Every Amendment That the Republi.
 cans Offered to the Tariff Bill Were
 Defeated and 1t Is Apparent That
 There will Be No Change in the BiIl
 as Agreed Upon.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 1.-The ways and means committee was in session an hour this morning when they ad- journed to meet again at half past one. The early session was devoted mainly to 8 consideration of resolution offered by MT. Reed of Maine. The resolution in sub stance was that, inasnuch as deficiency of seventy-two million dollars is shown by the committees calculations, it is desirable to inform the committee in what way 1t is to be met. Chairman Wilson replied, speaking for the democratic majority, that 1t would be met by internal revenue taxa ton, but that the schedules were not oom- pleted.
 Some discussion then ensued as to the advisability of considering the bill in sec- tions and not as whole. The resolution was defeated by strict party vote.
 All the members of the committee were present, with the exception of Messrs. Whiting and Stevens.
 The consideration of the bill was com menced by paragraphs with schedule A, relating to chemicals. An effort was made on the part of the minority to amend the schedule in various parts. When the con- siderstion of the chemical schedule was concluded MT. Burrows offered substitute for the entire existing laws. Every motion was voted down by strict party vote and upon the yeas and nays being called on MT. Burrows substitute the same result was re- corded. The committee proceeded with the consideration of the bill in detail ,para- graph by paragraph, concluding with schedule D on woods.
 Every motion on the metal, glass and pottery schedules and those relating to free iron ore and free lumber were voted upon and none of the amendments proposed by the minority were agreed to. During the several arguments were of fered by members of the minority In favsr of their position and letters were read from different persons representing industries involved.
 A motion to restore cotton ties to the dutiable list was voted down. It was sought to obtain from the majority a req son for making cotton ties free and iron used in the manufacture of buckets and other manufactures dutiable, but the mi nority were unsuccessful, and this propo- sition on a yea and nay vote was defeated.
 Every amendment offered met the same fate, and 1t is apparent that there will be no change in the bill as agreed upon.
