THE ERICssON's TRIP.
She Has Started for New Orleans ON
Her Journey to New London.

She Has Started for New Orleans on
Her Journey to New London.
The torpedo boat Ericsson sailed from
New Orleans at 1890 o'clock yesterday
morning on her long trip to New London.
1t is probable that IL the machinery works
well her first stop will be at Pensacola,
Fla, or Port Royal, SC. where coal will
be taken on, and the voyage continued.
Before leaving New Orleans the fresh-water
crew. who had brought the boat down the
Mississippi from Dubuque, were laid off,
and a crew Of saltwater sailors was ship
ped for the ocean voyage. 1t Is the inten-
ton Of the contractors, however animated
by spirit Of local pride, to run the vessel
on her trial trip in Long Island sound with
a crew made up entirely of western men,
most Of whom have never seen the ocean.
The Navy Department has no control over
the vessel until she makes a successful
trial trip, so they will await the experiment
with interest and some apprehension.

INTERPRETING REVELATIONS.
A Pamphleteer Tries to Prove Tha

A Pamphleteer Tries to Prove That
the World IL Near Its End.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. August 23.-A small
pamphlet entitled What Do These Things
Mean?' is being freely distributed among
the homes, particularly of workingmen,
about town. 1t is interesting. inasmuch as
1t attempts to prove that the end Of the
world is at hand and the wonderful things
told in the book of Revelations are about to
come to pass. The recent railroad strike is
declared to be the last sign of prophecy
This last sign, 1t declares, is distress with
perplexity. Nations have been perplexed
before, and likewise have been distressed
but this Is the first time, 1t is asserted,
that both calamities have come at once.
The pamphlet is published by the Inter-
national Religious Liberty Association. At
their office no one was able to fix the exact
day for the end of the world, but II was
stated that the present generation will live
to see it, and that most of us will be pres
ent when the end comes.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 23.-Rev. A.
c. Hirst, president OF the University OF the
Pacific, and a pastor of Simpson Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church in this city.
has been cleared, by the ecclesiastical
court. OF the charges of gross immortality
preferred against him by Professor Rogers.
The verdict says:
I'VE find the charges maliciously and alb
solutely false. After most careful exami-
nation Of the testimony, 1t is our judgment
that the charges have their origin In a
wicked conspiracy to defame the character
Of the accused, and there is no evidence in
the case that even remotely compromises or
reflects on DR.. Hirst as Christian gentle
man CT a minister of the Gospel"
The charges against DIR. Hirst, who is one
Of the leading ministers of the Pacific coast,
were Of a most scsndalous character, and
created a great sensation.
Rogers, who claims to be q minister, in
duced several boys to make the charges.
One Of them, a boy named Bidwell, is said
to have been implicated in the Cleveland
street scandal In London a few years ago.
Yesterday Rogers was denounced before
the committee by his counsel, who gave up
his case.

RATES TO THE FAR WEST.
Conference of Representatives of A
the Pacific Lines.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 23-Richard
Gray Of the Southern Pacific left for Chi
cago today to attend an important meeting
OF the Transcontinental Passenger Associa-
ton.
Speaking OF his mission Mr.. Gray said:
For some time there has been considerable
complaint on account of scalping cutting
and general Generalization of rates. The
association has no intention OF increasing
the rates now In force. but will endeayor
to devise means for maintaining the pres
ent schedule"
The meeting has special significance, for
the reason that all the roads leading to
the Pacific coast, including the Canadian
Pacific will be represented. Hitherto the
Canadian Pacific line has evinced a dis
position to stand aloof from any argument
at this time indicates that the demoraliza-
ton Of rates bids fair to be brought to an
end.
