He Participated in Many Stirring
Events During the Rebellion.
The Rev. John Wesley Hanson, DID,,
Of Chicago delivered an address yesterday
morning in the present meeting-place Of
the First Universalist Parish. in lower
Scottish Hall, Ill Larkin street. His sub
ject was THE Fatherhood of God" aud
was the presentation of Universallst
ideas OF Christianity, based upon the
divine fatherhOod.
The member. of this parish are holding
services regularly at the above place, but
exi ect to build church edifce of their
own before long.
DIR. Hanson is wsll-known figure
among Chicago divines, having been en-
gagged in ministerial work in that city for
years. He was also for a long time editor

ing such action was handed down by Chief
Justice FulIeJ from his pulpit pictured
that gentleman as attentively listening to
the voice of the devil, who in tho shape Of
an enormous toad was counseling tho
judge as to his course OF action. Dr.
Hanson was chaplain OF the famous Sixth
Massachusetts Infantry during the war,
and marched with them through the streets
of baltimore on that memorable day, the
18th Of April, 1861. when the first blood OF
the aebellion was shed. His description
of these thrilling scenes are remarkable in
their vividness.

WANT ANOTHER DECISION.

Apparently the Chinese Six Companies
propose to keep bringing the Chinese
registration act before the Supreme Court
until they get the kind OF decision they
want. Their purpose might be accom-
pllshed in time with the aid Of = friendly
President. 1t was somewhat strange that
the Six Companies should make such .
desperate stand on the question Of regis
tratOn. One would think that registrs-
ton was in some way disgrace. When
the Scott act Of 1888 was passed denying
to Chinese the right to land which the
treaty expressly gave them there was ne
outcry against ii. No effort was made to
influence the Supreme Court when the
law came before it. But the act req uirina
registration has inspired tho Six Com
panies with kind Of last ditch courage.
They know that IL those in the country are
once registered tho profitable business Of
smuggling Chinese across the border will
como to an end.

THE WAR BLOWS OVER.

II appears that Siam was too bas,y in

nizs the French blockade of the
SiAmess ports must be erroneous,
Francs has perfect right to make
war on Siam without asking Englaud's
consent, and 4 blockade would be a natural
incidsNt Of such war. But the story is
probably founded on fact. Lord Rose
berry probably did inform NJ. Lavelle that
a blockade Of Bangkok would conflict with
English interest: and would therefore be
viewed with concern by Parliament; and
this HIT might have led M. Carnot to
pause. But as it stands, Siam has re-
treated ell along the line. consents to sur

ises to pay an indemnity for wrongs she
NAV not have committed, and acknowl-
edges French sovereignty in the whole
territory south of the twenty-third par

end.
Two lessons are its chief result. The
entire Paris press. without distinction Of
party, insisted on the Government adopting
a defiant attitude toward England. The old

the Panama canal scandal and the Abeills

THE KEY TO THE GOLD SITUATION

An Eastern bimetallst makes a calcula-
ton which indicates that tho action of the
British Government in India making gold
the sole measure OF value has advanced
the value of that metal In relation to COM
modities at least 10 per cent. To over
como this he proposes to reduce the weight
of the gold dollar by two grains and thus
partially maintain the former relation Of
the gold dollar to commodities. This prop
osition will not be pleasing to the gold
men. It would be considered cheat upon
creditors. 1t Is quito right TO legislate to
cause the purchasing power OF money to
appreciate, but all wrong to leEislate for
the relief of tho debtor. The gentleman
who makes the proposition writes in de.
fsnse of it:
Such law would recognize the conceded
appreciation Of gold, would soon adjust itself
with foreign exchanges, would attract and
keep 1t In the United States and At the same
time give free coinage to silver. The law Of
supply and demand fixes and controls the price
of silver. Legislation has abolished the de-
mand. while the supply has continued; hence
Its low price.
