THE PARLIAMENT OF RELIGION.

Some of the Things 1t accomplished of Es
pecial Interest to Christians.
Now that the parliament of religion in
Chicago has ended, it is pertinent to ask
what it has accomplished. The inquiry
is a difficult one to answer, for no tangi-
bic results were to be looked for from
such gathering. It recorded no vote
on any of the questions discussed, and
to all outward seeming it left things
just as they were before. Nevertheless
the plain and unbiased people of the
country who have read of its doings
have formed solsle sort of opinion as to
the points at issue. And that opinion,
whatever 1t may be, is the exact measure
of what the parliament accomplished.
We believe that because of the parlia-
ment American Christians have come to
recognize more clearly than ever before
the fact that there are other religions
than Christianity. 1t makes no differ
ence whether these other religions are
regarded as wholly or only partly false.
In either case they are still religions, by
means of which hundreds of millions of
people find some sort of consolation and
hope, and which at least attempt to give
a rational explanation of the problem of
life and destiny.
We may go even further and say that
the parliament has proved the other
world religions to be at one with Chris
tianity in many essential points of be-
lief and practice. And it has also shown
that some of the popular conceptions of
''heathenism" are grossly inaccurate.
But while Christians have thus gained
a truer knowledge of whGt is good in
the other religion, and we hope larger
charity, they have seen nothing in them
which will in the slightest degree weak
en- their preference for their own re
hgion.--New York Tribune.

GRAND COURT OF COUNTIES.
A Proposed Feature of the Mid
winter Fair.
Applications for Building Space
Piling Up.
Southern California and Individual
Counties Must Act Quickly or
Get Left-Pacific Coast
News Gieanings.
Rr the Associated Prass.

by the AssOcieteu ff2s%
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The multi
plication of applications for space for
special county buildings at the midwin-
ter fair has suggested the desirability
OF establishing, If possible. within the
exposition grounds a grand court OF
counties, around which center the coun-
ty buildings would be grouped. An ex-
cellent place for this sort OF architectural
group is in the 20-acre annex south of
the south drive. Here is room enough
for half dozen magnificent structures
in which the special features of the dif-
ferent parts of the state could be housed
collectively as described. and where vis-
itors can made their comparisons.
The location most coveted by the
Southern California people is that of the
ridge of ground above the agricultural
building. This location has not been
positively settled upon, however, be-
tween the Southern Californians and the
executive committee, and those exhib-
itors would undoubtedly prefer to be
one OF the county group if such q group
can be arranged.
The Alameda county committee, who
were in the city yesterday, are intend
ing to erect a building which shall
compare architecturaliy with any on the
grounds. The Santa Clara delegation
will be in town today Wednesday,
looking for site for their building.
The representatives of the counties of
the northern citrus belt have already
determined to have a building of their
own. Here, then, are four buildings
positively decided on, and these would
form the nucleus, if not the greater part,
of the collection above proposed.
There are number of counties which
have asked to have space reserved in
the horticulture building for their coun-
ty exhibit, but there are two or three
counties, in addition to these, which
have the special building idea still in
contemplation.
The thing must be borne in mind by
the projectors OF county buildings, and
that is that they have no time to lose.
The buildings of the exposition will all
be completed by the 1st Of January, and
when the fair opens on that date the
gates will be closed to lumber teams or
to heavy traffic of any kind, and it be-
hooves concessionaires and county con-
struetionists as we'll to see that all their
buildings are finished in time.

HOPE FOR SILVER.

A British BIN etallists views of the
8 Monetary Situation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-One of the
most interested listeners to the closing
debate in the senate on the repeal bill
was Moreton Frewen, q leading BIZ
metallist of Great Britain. Frewen
does not think the cause OF
bimetallism by any means hope
lese, but, on the contrary, believes
the wide attention which has been
drawn to the subject by the discussion
in the senate will serve to force the
question to the front the world over,
and he has no doubt the very interests
now clamoring loudest for repeal will
be forced by business exigencieH to come
TO the support of silver coinage in q
few years. He has a high sd-
miration for the way the silver side
of the question has been presented
in the senate and regards Senator Jones
of Nevada as one OF the greatest authori-
tiles on finance in the world. One of
the results of his visit to America at
this time may be the formation of an in
ternational association in the interest OF

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-The regents

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3l.-The senate, in
all probability, will occupy tomorrow
with the bill extending the time for six
months in which Chinese laborers can
register under the Geary law.
Senator White of California arrived
this morning. He and Senator Perkins
expect to speak upon the question, ss do
also Senators Hoar and Davis, but it is
not probable that there will be any fac
tious opposition to the bill. There are
some features of the measure that White
and Perkins do not entirely approve, but
as it recognizes the principle that Chi
nese can be excluded from the country
by legislative enactment. they will pro-
badly content themselves by explaining
California's attitude upon the question.
Hoar and Davis will probably make OBJ
lection to the doctrine. 1t is the general
understanding that there will be no OBJ
lection to taking up ths bill tomorrow

Ducks Costs Him Els Life.
Charles A. Lindberg, 40 years old,
foreman of James j. Hills farm near
White Bear, met with terrible death
yesterday afternoon. About 1 o'clock
he left home, telling bis wife he was go
ing to Mud lake on the western boundary
of the farm to shoot ducks.
Two hours later ono of the farmhands.
passing along the edge of the lake, heard
the faint halloo of some one out on the
water. Peering across the lake he saw
near the middle of the sheet of water an
overturned boat and could dimly dis
cern the outlines of human being strug-
Cling in the water. There was no boat
near in which the farmland could go to
the assistance of the drowning man, and
he hurried off to Mr.. Hills residence and
spread the alarm among the other en-
ployees. When finally boat was Sc
cured and rowed to the spot where the
overturned hunting boat floated on the
surface of the water, nothing could be
seen of its former occupant.
The boat was recognized as the one
Lindberg was accustomed to use, and
search was made for the hunters body.
1t was found within three feet of where
the boat had been capsized, in about four
feet of water. The bottom of the lake
is an oozy mass of mud and treacherous
quicksand, out of which shoot thousands
of water lily stems. Evidently Lind
berg had shot a couple of ducks-the
dead birds were floating near by on the
water-and in attempting to pick them
up had capsized the frail boat. His feet
became tangled in the web of water lily
vines, and he could not extricate himself
from the quicksand, into which he sank
inch by inch until he was drawn under
the water and drowned. The body was
nearly buried in the mud when the
searchers recovered it.-St. Paul Pioneer
