The epoch OF church history en-
braced in Tuesday nights lecture
was that from the year 800 to 600
during which time occurred the
first serious break in the church
which resulted in the formation at
the council of Nice in the year 325,
of the first human creeds and the
consequent open rupture and down
ward tendency which finally had
its result in the establishment of
the first Roman Pontiff about the
year COO. The period embracing this
important event will be considered
tonight.

BISHOP AND SPRECKELS.
THE SUGAR KING TRANSFERS CASH
TO HIS OLD FRIENDS BANK.
A Check for 81, 500, OoO-Three Hours to
Count the Money 5000
Pounds.

On Nov. 80, Claus Spreckels,
the sugar king, transferred his
account, or a portion Of it, from the
Nevada Bank to the Bank of Cali.
fornia. To do this Mr.. Spreckels
drew his check for 81, 500, 900 on
the Nevada Bank. The bit OF
paper was cashed in the afternoon
and the money in gold coin was
carted over to the bank of Cali
fornia.
The 81, 500, 900 was received by
Walter Davidson, the oldest receiv-
ing teller in the Bank of California.
The old gentleman had corps OF
assistants to help him count the
money, and it took them from ago
o'clock in the afternoon until 1890
at night. The weight OF the coin
was 5000 pounds. A San Fran
cisco gentleman whose name is not
unknown to the financial world, in
speaking of the matter, said:
II do not know what reason Mr..
Spreckels had for transferring his
his account, but l presume it was
OIL account of his friend, Mr..
Bishop. The latter was made vice
president of the Bank Of California
a few meetings ago, and a man,
no matter how high his standing
is, always likes to control business
and to be able to bring that bust
ness to the house of which he is a
member. Mr.. Bishop and Mr..
Spreckels have close business asso-
Citations in the Hawaiian Islands,
where the former has the largest
banking house in Honolulu. The
sugar king does all bis banking
business through the house, and
possibly the friendship of the two
men was the cause of the transfer.

ate and House of Representatives on
certain questions submitted to the judg.
ment and wider discretion of Congress.

place of the provisional arrangement
which followed the deposition of the
Queen has been announced, with evil
dence of its effective operation. The
recognition usual in such cases has been
accorded the new Government"
Nearly one-third of the message is de-
voted to foreign relations. Japan is
mentioned as a nation with which there
should be as broad and liberal dealiD rs
as with other powers.
Mr.. Cleveland asks for an expression
from Congress on the propriety of with
drawing from International agreement
with relations to Samoa.
No recommendation is made as to
sugar bounties.
By June 30, 1895, there will be
treasury deficit of 5000, 200.
The President suggest that the army
be brought to the strength allowed by
law. Every encouragement should be
given state militia.
"If we are to have Navy for warlike
operations, offensive and defensive, we
certainly ought to increase both the
number of battle.ships and torpedo
boats"

YOKOHAMA, Dec. 3.--There have been
no engagements since the capture of
Port Arthur. Japan is mistress by sea
and land, with the Chinese in flight
everywhere.
According to the semi-offinial press
Japan has decided to insist on heavy
conditions of peace, which will be in
creased as the war is prolonged. If the
war is concluded now Japan would ac-
cept 400, 900, 900 yen and the cession of
the territory now occupied by her
forces. If Toku and Shan Hal Kwan
cannot be attacked this winter because
of the climate, the war will be pushed
to other parts of China. No armistic is
to be granted, unless China formally
sues for peace and surrenders Peking
or gives other pledges in proportion to
the demand of Japan. 1t must be stip-
ulated that Japan's power is absolute.

Walter G. Smiths first letter has

official dishonesty weakened that
nation beyond relief. The aim of the
japanese is to capture Pekin. They
consider it the key to all China.
Japan shows contempt for the Chi
nese navy by failing to place tor
pedoes at any ports.
