INCARNATION vEsTRYMEN.
With One Exception They Decide e
Resign in a Body

The friction which has cNists.. for some
fine between the vestrymen and the rec
tor of the Church OF the Incarnation
eliminated lass night in the resignation Of
all or the Nestryfnen, except Mr.. J. b.
Winner, who leclincl 10 take sides in the
controversy or TO attend the meeting The
facts in this case OF church trouble are
hard 10 obtain. owing 10 the con slicting and
varying stories told by the different parties
trouble between DR. Townsend and his
vestry originated over financial matters and
has been aggravated Il ON time TO time by
friction over other matters
The case Was finally laii before Rishon
advised the vestry % resign. Accordingly
at the meeting last night which was at
tended by Messrs. Howard Lockwood How
ard Edmunds III. :. Hendricks. H s Geare
William Langtree. +. :. Bright and Will
lam f. Harvey, these members OF the vestry
decided to resign in body.
Dr. Townsend. the rector of the church
claims that the trouble is in a great meas
ure due Il Mr.. Gesre. the leader of the
choir who. he says, has endeavorei 10
exert too much authority in the church.
Dr. Townsend says that no further action
VIII be taken in the matter now, EXCEPT TO
elect new Vestrymen. He has made his re-
port TO the bishop upon the case. and the
bishop has supported him. Communicates
OF the church TO the number OF ll2 had
also asked the vestry TO resign. and there
was apparently no other course for them &c
pursue than the one which they adopted
last night.

Western Mail Situation,

Considerable anxiety has been caused at
the Pest Office Department by the contin-
ued washouts on western railroad lines,
and consequent serious mail delays En-
tire suspension of service on the Northern
Pacific railroad between Portland and
Cmatilla, Ore, was reported by General
Manager Dickinson to the department to-
day
The dispatch says: 1T is utterly impos-
sible to give any idea of the damage or day
when train service can be resumed. No
such floods ever known before, and water
Still. rising"
Official dispatches announce that no
Union Pacific trains are running west of
Una tilla, Greg, and report varioss new
washouts on the Union Pacific lines.
Division Superintendent Barclay of the
railway mail service telegraphed today
from St Paul:
THE situation in the west is very bad
and the waters are still rising. The North
ern Pacific is running trains from st. Paul
to Ravelli, Mont, and between Standpoint
Ida, and Kelso, Wash. The road between
Ravelli and Standpoint is very bad: bridges
tracks and telegraph lines gone. Two
trains caught between these points not
heard from for day or two Great North
ern doing nothing from Havre to Spokane
Wires down and presumably same condi-
ton west OF Spokane, as company has had
no Information from there since last Sat
urday"
Active efforts to relieve to some extent
the delays of the mails are being made by
the department, and special temporary pos
tai service has been established between
some available points.

AS stated in The Star. Mrs A. c. chewn-
ing. wife Of the man who was found Sunday
evening unconscious in the Smithsonian
grounds. due to lack OF proper nourishment
and mental stroke OF some sort, arrived at
her husbands bedside in the Emergency
Hospital shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The two children OF the couple
accompanied the mother. All were nicely
dressed but Mrs. Chewing Appeared
worried and carsworn until the happy re-
union had taken place. In conversation the
lady regretted that the letters found In her
husbands pocket had been published but
at the same time she expressed the utmost
gratitude for all that had been done for the
family.
During the evening the greater portion of
the money that has been subscribed for
their relief was turned over TO the Chewn-
ings. In all IL will amount TO nearly 500,
which is the foundation for another start
in life for the unfortunate man.
The wife ana children are located with
friends on Capitol Hill. where they intend
10 remain until Mr.. Chewing leaves the
hospital which will ..e in the course of a
few days. After that he will probably go

to take care of her husband. She seemed
TO be almost as much of a mental and
physical wreck as he is. and for several
days has been on the verge OF nervous
prostration The physicians and nurses
have been thoroughly kind and attentive
TO them both. and have done everything in
their power 10 better their condition.
Ihis afternoon large roll OF bills was
handed over TO Mrs. Chewing and she y as
advised TO hurry right OF to deposit IL be-
fore the banks closed. She has nothing but
the kindest words wheu she speaks Of the
trea tment her husband has received AT the
hands OF the charitable people OF Washing
ton. and, in converse tor with a Star re-
porter this afternoon. said that her OILY
nope now was thai he might be able TO OBJ

THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
A Dispatch From the Remington. Now
at La Lfbertad.

A telegram was received at the Navy
Department today from Capt Thomas
commanding the gunboat Bennington, say
ing that the commander OF the revolu-
tionary forces has left La Libertad SAL
vador. and that the country is practically
without government. His telegram corrob-

consulate and arrangements were made TO
land reinforcements in case Of necessity.
Capt. Thomas dispatch shows that sf-
fairs I'm Salvador are in very bad shape and
that the landing Of sailors from the Ben

interests OF American residents. Cap.

specific Instructions were not needed.
He was sent 10 Salvador TO look out for
American interests. and the manner Of SO
doing was left to his discretion. The Navy
Department has every confidence in the
ability Of Commander Thomas to fully cope
with any difficulty that may arise and from

will overstep the bonds Of diplomatic pro-
priety.

WHAT CASTOR TOLD HIM.
Congressman Cadmus Testifes in the
Sugar Trust InvestfgatiOn

Sugar Trust investigation.
Congressman Cadmus of New Jersey Is
the man to whom Walter CASTOR told the
story of the conversation he had overheard
in the room of Mr.. Terrell of the sugar
trust at the Arlington Hotel on the night
OF March last MIR. CASTOR was before
the Senate committee again today, and he
gave Mr.. Cadmus' name. which he had de-
clined to do on yesterday. The committee
Immediately decided to send for Mr.. Cad
mus, and excused Mr.. CASTOR after some
further estions, put largely by the re-
publican members of the committee. In
the course of this examination the fact was
developed that Mr.. Castor is a democrat in
politics.
Mr.. Cadmus testified as to the circum-
stances under which the wire manufac-
turer. Mr.. CASTOR, had related to him the
details of the night conference at the Ar
lnSton Hotel. Mr.. Cadmus said that Mr.
CASTOR had met him in the hotel corridor
on the morning following the night con-
ference, and had slapped him on the Shout
der with an evident show of satisfaction.
saying: "Cadmus, l don't believe that tariff
bill is going to pass" He then related to
the Congressman how the loud discussion
had continued throughout the foregoing
night. The details as given by Mr.. Cadmus
were confrmatory OF those already given
by Mr.. CASTOR. The main point of them
was that they appeared to have led Mr.
CASTOR to the conclusion, which he fire.
qUently repeated, that he felt satisfied the
tariff bill would not pass.
The committee asked Mr.. Cadmus to give
the names of those present at the con-
ference. He answered that he did not re-
call that Mr.. CASTOR mentioned the names
of any public men or others present. Mr.
Cadmus added, with emphasis, that If he
had learned any names he would positively
decline to give them 20 the committee.
The committee will probably not meet
again before Friday. Subpoenas have been
issued for half a dozen or more witnesses,
and for some Of them it will probably be
necessary to send away from the city. The
committee decline to give names Of the
men who are to be summoned

SHAD OR STARVATION.
That Was Why George Shafer Vfolat-
ed the Fishing Law.

Members Of the crew Of the police boa I
Joe Blackburn had two men in the Police
Court today on a charge of violating the
fish law. George Shafer. fifty-eight years
old, a resident of Alexandria was the prin-
cipal. and with him was young man
named James McCauley.
Shafer took the entire responsibility upon
his own shoulders. He told the court tina I
his family was destitute, and ii was catch
fish or let them starve. and so he took the
chances on the river. Last night he came
up the river in small boat and dropped
his gill net IN the water. Although the net
had only been in the water a few minutes
when the police reached there, they found
a large number of fish, including a number
of shad, in 1t.
In consideration of the pitiful story told
by Shafer the judge released the men on
Their personal bonds and ordered their net
and boat returned
