Editor Times In the issue of The Wash

unchTstian and uncharitabe text of the
Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis; "Can we point

In the name of common sense and COM

tion thrown upon the charactero of the French
ambassador at Washington.

They Say He Criticised the French

Personalities.

more careful inquiry made yesterday
among those who listened to the sermon
delivered Sunday night by Rev. Howard
Wilbur Ennis, ,-sof the Western Presbyte-
rian Church ,.ieeds The Times to the con
clusion shat u4 report OF the discourse
published inEstb9 issue of Monday under
the caption lpf/5M. Patenotre's Morals,
and the rcitersAon that appeared yester-
day are inc5rrett, and that the reporter
from whose Ipfes the original puhlica-
ton was madaiwa mistaken as to the
language employed by the minister.
1t should also be stated that Messrs. O..
A. Matson, Charles j. Wetzel and Frank
Biscoe eacfe of, whom was quoted yester-
day as indofsiIll5 the original report of the
sermon, now Hssert that While they be-
licved the publication was, In the main, a
fair presentation OF the discourse, they do
not recall the language imputed TO Mr.
Ennis, which reflected upon NJ. Patenotre,
nor do they admit that the pastor indulged
i'll any personalities whatever.
Each of the parties named disclaimed
having intended to indorse the quotation
given as having been uttered by Mr.. Ennis,
which was: ''Can we point our finger
at the French Minister when we do the same
thing that he does" They individually
dispute that the pastor made this personal
mention OF NJ PatenOtre.
Capt. Robert Armour, who resides at
No. $50 Eighteenth street northwest, and
DR.. Kelly, at No. 900 | street northwest,
and j. B. LaInbie who were interviewed
last night, stated that they were present
when Dr. Ennis preached the sermon ard
listened attentively TO it, and each stated
that he did not hear the language imputed
TO their pastor and could recall no similar
term that he did use in connection with
the toplc tlat might have been mistaken
for French Minister"
This was affirmed by DR.. Ennis himself,
who stated mcst positively that lie did not
refer personally to apyECdy. He sad he
made reference to the morals OF the French,
English, ard German capitals, re: peciivcly,
and also TO the morals OF our own capital
and to those of Chicago, but lie was careful
to omit personalities. II has been his
habit, he sa.d, 10 refrain IRON any such
hippodromiug practices as are some-
times adopted by certain pastors.
When n call was made upon Col. Amos
Webster at No. 2O20 f street northwest,
be had retired bat members OF his family
who attended church Sunday evening and
listened TO the discourse, said they heard

delivery One OF those iuierY iewed
recalled that Dr. Ennis used the term
French nation in pretty nearly the con
uection III which the other was quoted,
but neither these nor any Others who Were
questioned about the matter agreed with
the reporter that the French Minister was
referred To directly or indirectly, and the
claim was made that The Times did the
pastor intustice by attributing to him the
language quoted.

orR CHINEsE nENs.

Our news columns this morning contain
a shocking description of Chinese vice in
Washington, which should at once be
eradicated. That such places and scenes
could exist in this enlightened city can
only be explained by a laXity of police
supervision. They disgrace even a race
notorious for its low state OF morals, and
a little American law applied to these Ce =
lestial offenders would be of service to this
community.
OF all the foreigners who come TO America
TO better their condition the Chinese are the
least acceptable and most injurious. Their
methods OF living, degrading ways of
pastime and willingness to cheapen the
price of labor have proved detrimental and
demoralizing wherever they have located.
Unlike other immigrants they neither become
naturalzed citizens or law abiding in their
habits, and it would be far better for the
country if they could be entirely excluded.
1t is as useless to talk of civilizing
Chinese as it is of tanning polar bear.
BY instinct, nature and inclination they
fluences as an armOr plate is to a pith
ball. and the more rigid the law to keep
them away the greater viii be our benefit.
The account oftheir Washingtond dens is but
a shadow compared to the reality of their
bestiality where their colonies are larger.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The outing
system which has been tried ut the Car
Isle. Pa, Indian school has proven of
great benefit to the pupils, and will be
extended TO oil government Indian
schools, both reservation and nonreser-
walton, where there are pupils old
enough to profit by IL. Secretary Smith
has reached this conclusion, believing
the Inauguration of the system will DO
an important factor in making the In
dams self supporting. He does not In
tend to confine his efforts in this direc.
ton TO the schools, but will endeavor
to induce adult Indians, both men and
women, to seek employment In the
homes OF farmers in the vicinity of
their reservations.
With a view to promoting this plan
tho secretary of the interior has ap-
proved q circular to agents and school
superintendents asking them to find
suitable families who will receive Indi-
ans in their homes and give them prac-
tical training In everyday duties and
also to find worthy Indians who will
avail themselves Of such opportunities.
At the Carlisle school some OF the
scholars OF both sexes are employed by
farmers In the neighborhooc. They re-
ceive compensation In wages, but Q
much greater benefit by being brought
In close contact with the home life OF
the whites and being taught to work,
tho girls In the house and tho boys in
the fields and barns The farmers have
found the Indians willing and efficient
and the demand for them has become
greater than the schools can meet.

testimony Of Inspector Williams De-
fore the Lexow investigating commit
tee that he owned some ground in

rights foreigners had in the miltado's

" 49, s---t1- oN-ae~-io~- ~ Volrin
and Osaka acquire under certain
conditions what am cunts substantially

the land for n long term of years and
then release IL, which amounts prac-
tically to "a perpetual leasehold. For
this privilege they of course pay u cer-
.ain sum TO the owner and a ground
rent to the government. The treaty
ports in which the such privileges may
be exercised are Yokohama. Nagasaki,
Hakodate and Kobe"
Replying to further questions the
minister said the privilege TO thus ac-
luire what is practically n perpetual

up the stairway leading to the fourth
floor. without q moments warning
the charred beams on the fifth fioor

piece of machinery, which carried
away the stairway. Chief Bresnan and
Assistant Foreman John l.. Rooney of
engine company No. II, were both
pinned under the machinery as 1t

instantly killed. Half n dozen fremen
were also pinned down on the stair
way leading from the fourth to the
fifth floor, but they managed TO cut
their way out in the face of the adj
vancing flames. Four OF the men were
painfully but not seriously burned.
With the exception Of the second
floor, which was used by II. Il. Homer
