 WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Demo- cratic subcommittee of the senate this morning submitted the tariff bill to the full finance committee. The date for going into effect of the bill has been changed from June 1 to June 30. Among the important changes are: Lead ore, 2 cent per pound, including lead mixed with silver ores; coal, bitumi- nous and shale. 40 cents per ton; coal, slack or canned, 15 cents ton coke, 15 per cent advalorem.
 The senate bill makes collectors of in- ternal revenue officers in charge of the collection of the income taxes instead ot deputy collectors.
 The income of charitable. religious and educational institutions are ex- empted from the tax, also the salaries of state, county and municipal officers. The section making it perjury to falsify any proceeding under the income tax is stricken out.
 The free list is not SO much changed as it was supposed it would be and ab- stractions from it are more numerous than additions. The date when tn e free list shall go into effect is chan ged from June l, 1894. to June 30, 1894. Apples of all kinds are stricken from the free list and placed on the dutiable list, as are also beef, mutton and pork. Bituminous coal, shale coal, slack and coke are transferred to the dutiable list, leaving anthracite on the free list. Iron ore and sugar are moved to the dutiable list.

The Nicaraguan Trouble.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The president
 has turned over to the secretary of state the preparation of an answer to the Morgan resolution calling for informa- tion relative to the landing of British troops at Blue6elds, Nicaragua. No ad- d1tional advices from Nicaragua were given out at the state department today but there is reason to believe that the president is preparing for a vigorous and unmistakable assertion of the rights of the United States in Central America and that the correspondence

PHGNIX MINE LITIGATION.
A Suit Yesterday Against ex-Super-
 intendent Dillingham;.

lnI6nO6nI GllllnRnam.
 A rather interesting suit was begun yesterday by w. s. Alley, Theodore Silkman, O. F. Browning, Jas. A. Har- riman and Chas. S. Mccullough, con stituting the reorganization committee of the Phoenix Mining company, against w. B. Gillingham, the former superln- tendent of the company. Two causes of the action are specified. One is to re- cover on a note of $1 900, and the other involves charge of somewhat serious character. It is set forth that without the knowledge or consent of the plain tiffs the defendant arranged for the tran sportation from Chicago to Phoenix of a quantity of freight amounting to 5S0, ,656 pounds at rate of $1.70 per hundred. The plaintiffs subsequently, allowed his claim of rate of $1.994. The excess of this rate over the rate actually paid amounts to $1,69S.42, which is also sought to be recovered. The defendant is now a resident of San Diego, Cal. Garnishment suits were at the same time begun against the Valley bank Henry E. Kemp and c. E. Walter, the two latter as makers of a note for $2,246.6S payable to Gillingham, and the former as the corporation into whose hands payment was to be made.

 will conclude matters of later date than the brief report from Minister Baker of the landing of the British troops.
 It is still hoped that conditions have been mis-stated and that the troops were landed solely to protect the lives and property of British subjects instead of for the purpose of interfering be- tween Nicaraugua and the Mosquito governments, but there is no disposi- tion to disguise the real gravity of the incident. for although the British have often talked of their right of . protector ate and even threatened it, never in this country has it come to pass that British troops were actually landed in Central America, since the assertion of the Monroe doctrine. to assert pro- tectorate.

Congressional Opinions.

WAsHiNGToN, March s. Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the tariff committee, is of the opinion that the bill as reported would produce 8 revenue of about SAY ,000. .000 or $48, ,00G, . GOO.
 Coast senators generally express themselves against that feature of the bill which abrogates the treaty with HaW aii because so many people of the coast have large investments in the Hawaiian sugar plantation and the commerce of the coast has been greatly aided by the sugar industry.
 Ex-Speaker Reed said: ''The bill is much worse than when it left the house and it is much more important for the interest of the country that it should be beaten."
 Bynum said: ''The bill, as reported, seems to be on the general line of the Wilson bill, and I do not think there will be any serious difficulty in the two houses agreeing"
 Springer is very much displeased at the acton of the finance committee in restoring the duty on wool. He said :: "The house will never agree to it, nor to the duties on coal and iron ore."

the Orient and has brought back
fund of information which he
disseminates literally in a series
of lectures. His love for natural
science never has left him. AS a
pastime he has persued the study
of Astronomy. With his vivid
imagination he has woven from
it's facts the book which every
Chautauqua student knows, ''Rec-
reations in Astronomy" His love
for the scriptures and his desire
for their defense in their time of
critical attack led to a series of
lectures on the English Bible de-
livered before several colleges.
These by special vote of the insti-
buttons which have listened to
them subsequently appeared in a
volume entitled, "The Bible in the
Worlds Education" which left
press last year. About three
years since he represented the
Methodist Episcopal church as a
fraternal delegate to the British
Wesleyan and Irish Wesleyan
Conferences where he won distin-
gu1shed honor as an orator. The
same year his travels took him
on to the Continent where he pre-
sided at the European Confer
ences. The editor of lions Her
aid, who knows him well, pays
him the following tribute:
He is one of the preaching bishops.
His sermons and addresses form attract
i've features of the sessions of Con-
ference where he presides. In preach
ing he is favored with a ringing and
commanding voice, easily heard in the
remotest corner of the largest house,
and with skill III the use of the in1agin-
alton. He points the truth as well as
he tells it, and finds vivid gospel in
the rainbow and stars of the frma-
1nent. The incident in which he deals
is pictured rather than related. In the
management of a Conference session
he handles himself with ease and skill,
keeping everything in motion and
pushing with facility the business of
the body He will not fail to be re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the Con-
ferences over which he is to preside,
and his presidency will form an event
in their history to be remembered.

for new mine to be created only to
find them that are. Peter found one
great lead when he was sent to Casa
rea; Philip, when sent to Samaria; our
century, when it was sent into all the
earth one hundred years ago in mis-
sionary effort. There is yet more light
to break out of this old word! Whence
comes it? There is but one answer.
All Scripture is given by inspiration
OF God. Holy men of old wrote it as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
And now one more word. How
many times we have heard the word
amen. 1t has mostly meant to us,
mere Is the end, or an expression of
joyful assent. OF course we know that
1t IS also said to mean a final petition
SO be 1T, or so mote it be. But surely
that is not all. This word, uttered by
angels and by God, nay, used as the
very name of God, is not in the nature
or vain repetition, reuttered sum-
mary OF prayer when you are through.
There must be a deeper meaning. Re-
cent scholarship has not mined in vain
on this word out-cropping from the
depths of Gods thought and utterance.
1t means, So it shall be. When one
has prayed till desire has changed to
faith, and faith matured into full as
surance, and Gods promise firmly held
gives way to Gods presence, then he
can rightly stop and say, Amen; SO it
shall be.
And now that the study of these
broad words may make us broad; these
wise words may make us wise; this all
pervading wisdom may give us insight;
these things of the Spirit may make
us spiritual; these utterances of the
mind of God may make us God1ike, and
that ourselves and all the universe may
be irradiated with the light of poetry
till every place shall be She-schina, and
every mind trace all effects back to the
first great cause; and that the joy of
the Lord shall be our strength and &C.
stacy forever, we most devoutly and in
full assurance pray. Amen, and Amen.

throne soon sinks to a level, then into
pit, light vanishes, night comes, and
| sleep is blessed refuge.
| You know how the hearers mind oft
en- outruns the speakers speech. l re-
member hearing Spurgeon on one occa-
sion of many, with this result: Every
time my anticipative thought would
close a sentence in a satisfactory way
his after speech would close it in bet
ter-1ny thought was silver, his was
gold or diamond. Every speaker should
go up to the PynX, or Mars Hill, or the
horns of Hatin for a sermon on the
mount, or Olivet or, highest of all, Cav
airy, and widen men S horizons, length
en- perishing times to as much of eter-
nifty as we can grasp, see the King in his
beauty, and subdue in order to eXa1t.
Without controversy the Bible in the
matter of ideas and feelings is peerless.
There may be stars and possibly moons
of revelation shining into mans dark
ness from various races, ages, and
minds of fellow-men. But the Bible is
the only sun. 1t gives light to every
age; it gives but borrowS none.
Moons are possible only because of it.
But besides ideas has it apt and elect
expression? Did the herdmen, peas
ants, and fishermen so write as to COM
mand the approval of scholars? Is
there eXactness, intensity, clarity, and
beauty in their writing? When our
trained minds anticipate good fitting
words do these men disappoint us, or
surprise us with better? When we
grope with a candle do they turn on an
electric light? Does not the asking an
swer? Why else have the keenest
scholars bent over these pages for mill
1enia? Such mining must yield gems
that outsparkle Golconda, or it would
stop. 1t must be that this book, thou
sands of years old, has verbal delica-
cies, accuracies, and intensities, else
the loving labor of hundreds of di1igent
students would cease.
| do not now refer to its statements
of doctrines and systems of philosophy,
but to those apt expressions whereby
genius makes its parentheses richer
than ordinary mems paragraphs and
volumes. Its words are always sweet
er than honey and the honeycomb; they
are apples of gold in pictures of silver.
A great student of literature once chal-
lenged a company of scholars to give
from the language of any nation an apt
expression of thought, and he would
give a better expression of the same
idea from the Bible. The company
agreed that he was victor in the con-
test. Let us think of a few for our
selves. Try Tennyson's
Better fifty years of Europe
Than a cycle of Cathay."
1t is only a faint and far reverbera-
ton of the eighty-fourth Psalm, For
a day in thy courts is better than a
thousand. had rather be door-keep-
er in the house of my God than to dwell
in tents of wickedness."

THE BISHOPS LECTURE ON THE BIBLE
IT'S VERBAL FELICITIEs AND IN
TENsITIEs. -
livery child of God is a king and has
Z a kingdom. He was made to have
dominion, and in his mind is the realm
of his undisputed sway. Every man
may be more than Saladin the Magnif-
icent.
But the most kingly act is not to DOM
mate, but to yield. 1t is then seen that
authority and dominion extend not
: oInfy to empire, but to self. There are
conquerors of mind. They come in
such 1ord1y mien and power that we
open our gates, nay, take down our
walls, and gladly give them the free
dom of the kingdom. The more we are
conquered by such men the more we are
honored, because such conquerors only
come to give: all they bring is ours.
The more lordly they, the greater we.
Greece conquered to enslave, Rome to
give military discipline, roads, archi-
lecture, laws, Roman freedom and citi-
zenship. Roman conquest was inn
measurab1y better than barbarian in
dependence.
So in the kingdom of mind. The
Pauls roll their victorious chariots and
blow their trumpets of victory over our
Kingdoms, the more imperial, imperious
and peerless are we.
In physical empires force meets
force. When Achilles and Hector meet
physical strength 1abors and groans to
make one iron strike another harder.
But in mental kingdoms ideas rule.
When the Queen of Sheba comes before
Solomon the beauty of wisdom makes d
glad captive of the royal beauty of the
queen. By what means? By ideas and
their expression. You go up to the
Pynx at Athens an independent sover-
eign. Will Demosthenes conquer you?
He begins. He makes the very soil
dearer, the sea brighter, the mountains
higher, history more heroic, events
more significant, prophecy more brill
liant, wrong more outrageous, tyranny
more odious, liberty more glorious. In
the great ocean swell of the full tide of
his power he pours into every inlet of
your being. He surges into every bay,
ford, and river with rushing wave on
wave with resistless might till you are
rapturous1y swept off your feet and &C.
statically give yourself up to heighten
his triumph. as in full surrender you
proffer every worth and power of your
being to further his ends, and cry,
Lead us against Philip! All this con-
quest and exaltation of the conquered
has been brought about by fit ideas fit
ly expressed.
How different it sometimes is. A
man comes and seeks to exercise do
minion over our minds. 1t is soon evil
dent that he has not, like Solomon, re-
ceived a revelation of wisdom to rule,
but, like Rehoboam, has filled his hands
with scorpions to chastise. Horizons
of thought soon narrow, the Dlifted
