writes to the London Times that the
Japanese were warranted in sinking
the kow-Shung after she refused to

ship carried hostile expedition on its
way to fight Japan, and the flag she

'On last Sunday morning at the Mt
Horeb Church the pastor read publicly the
action of the church concerning Col W.

confession Of his guilt and asked the
prayers and love Of his brethren in lead
ing Christian life."
The unanimous decision of the officers
was that while accepting his repentance as
sincere and heartfelt, the great publicity Of
the sin demanded some public action; so
he was suspended from the sacraments un-
til Febr uary 1, 1895.
The law of the Presbyterian Church Book
of Church Orders, paragraph 15S, is:"Def1nite
suspension is administered when the credit
of religion, the honor of Christ and the good
of the offender demand 1T, even though
he may have given satisfaction to the

litical sovereignty. He charged his holiness
with securing the defeat of Harrison on
account of his administration of Indian
affairs. He asserted that ninety-nine out
of every hundred Catholics were democrats,
only enough remaining republican to keep
up appearances. He referred to Archbishop

behind closed doors plotting, against free
