Brother Wendte Boasts of California Progress
In Unitaranism-An Advocate OF
the Norwegian System

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Church ex-
tension and temperance reform was the
theme before the national conference of
Unitarians and other churches today. The
discussion of church extension was open
ed by Rev. Charles Wendte of Oakland,
CAL, who spoke glowngly of the out
look of the church on the Pacific coast.
California, he said, has more Unitarian
churches in proportion to population
than any other state save those OF New
England.
Rev. George L. Chaney of Riehmon
said the central west awaited Unitarian
m Missionaries, and he urged tho appoint
ment of twenty missionaries to work in
that field. He urged also that Unitarian
ministers should become evangeiists as
we'll. Rev. A. W. Gould of Chicago said
the problem to he faced in the central
west was the division in the ranks CT
the Untarians themselves He made a
strong plea for support, deprecating the
financial aid rendered by eastern societies
and urging the building OF strong, self
supporting Unitarian system. its center
to be Chicago. u. M. Wilson of Boston
spoke of the progress in New England,
and pictured the outlook as bright anu
encouraging.
meeting was held this afternoon at
All oouls church, at which modern
meth DDS of temperance reform were d s.
cussed. The feature was the address of
Rev. DR.. Francis G. Peabody, secretary
of the ,mmittee of fifty, for the investi-
CATION of the liquor problem. Other
speakers were Rev. A. p. Doyle. general
secretary of the Catholic Total Absti-

pressed Regarding Trinidad

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 23.-The bishop
of British Guiana arrived here today on
board the steamer Orinoco from George
town. In an interview regarding ths dis
pute between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela he said there was the strongest
feeling among the colonists that Great
Britain should maintain the position she
had assumed regarding the Schomberg
line. AS to the possibility of interven-
ton on the part of the United States,
the bishop said that although the colon
lists do not LOOK for United States assist
ance, yet certain section of them seem
to feel the United Sattes had moro sy M
pathy for Guiana than England has.
Therefore, continued the pastor, it was a
matter of congratulation that the Mar
outs of Salisbury had demanded repara-
tion for the Uruan affair, which action,
1t was thought, would lead to a speedy
settlement of the whole question. Other
British colonists who were on board the
Orlnoco expressed similar opinions and
SAID an inspector of police had gone to
Uruan in order to see that place properly
protected.
LONDON, Oct. %. - The Times,
Graphic, Post and Daily News again cd
itorially protest against the attitude of
the American press OF the Venezuelan
upon thv TrinIuad affair, says: This
question is far more complicated and our
rights are by no means so clear. We are
ignorant whether Lord Salisbury admits
the Brazilian claim or not, but the gov
ernment appears to have acted in behalf
of the Brazilian submarine Telegraph
company, whose directors include Lord
Saokville Cecil, near relative of Lord
Salisbury. and William st. John Brod-
erjck, er-secretary OF war. 1t would
be highly inexpedient to quarrel with
Brazil for the sake Of saving this COM
pany the expense of the cable laying.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-A special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, says:
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, telegraphs that in
the event that Brazil should be COM
PEELED to pay what her government re-
CARDS outrageous claims made by Euro
pean nations. she will retaliate.
Retaliation Will take the form of an in
creased rate of duty upon all goods en-
tered at the customs house from coun-
tries which press their claims. The cabi-
net has already decided this question.
NEW YORK, Oct. %. "A special to the
Herald from Caracas says:
President Crespo was asked this even
ing to outline the position uf Venezuela in
regard to the demand of Great Britain
that reparahon for the arrest of
British subjects and a settlement of the
boundary question be made. While the
president of tho republic maintained a
certain degree of diplomatic reserve. it
is said on the highest authority that the
government as well as pubic opinion,
does not expect any attempt at unjust
aggression on the part of England and
cont tides in the Monroe ductrine.

cur, Venezuela will resist heroicaliy.
Tha Venezuelan government is still

vention with her today in a movement to

A resolution was also adopted deplor-
ing the numerous outrages upon defense
less women and children, and urging that

to the executive committee asking the W.
G. T. U. TO hold its next convention in
Los Angeles. San Francisco, Seattle,
Chattanooga and Nashville.

partment Of mercy two prizes OF .'nld

WASHING ION, Oct. 23.-The appro-
priatlon for losses on reconago of worn
and uncurrent silver coin for the current
fiscal year is exhausted, and as it is the
intention of the secretary not to resume
at present the coinage of silver bullion
purchaser under the Sherman act and
as the stock of gold bullion on hand at
the mint is very limited, instructions
have been given to turlough Ewithout

sum could be paid out tor the ordinary
expenses of the government or certificates
would be issued against it. 1t is not
thought that the coinage of silver dollars
will be resumed until there is some ac-

question. The ,nints at Philadelphia and

ployed in the coinage of gold.

can only be gained at the expense of our
fellow-countrymen.
Il hope | may therefore be permitted,
in conclusion, to suggest, as a most i'm
portant lesson taught by this occasion,
the absolute necessity to our national
health and welfare and consequently to
our individual happiness as citizens of
a careful discrimination, in our support
of policies and in our advocacy of politi-
cal doctrines, between those which
prompt the promotion of the public well
fare and those which simply seem to
serve selfish or sectional interests. If we
are to enjoy the blessings our govern
ment was framed to fairly and justly be-
stow, we shall secure them in due time
by cultivating a spirit of broad American
brotherhood and insisting upon such
conduct as will. within the spirit OF the
golden rule. promote the general vel
fare
The president was greeted by an ova-
tion which lasted several minutes.
Boundless enthusiasm was manifested by
the immense crowd. His speech, though
short. consumed considerable time in de-
lievery, because of the frequent Interrupt
tions of applause. At its conclusion MIR.
Cleveland held an informal reception. A
line was formed along the front of the
stand and squad of police kept it ope n.
President Cleveland took a position on
one side of the steps and began shaking
hands with all who could reach him. For
five minutes he grasped the hands OF the
great American citizens at the rate OF
one hundred and three per minute; then
the number per minute gradually low
cred until he was shaking hands at the
rate of one every second. In fifteen min
utes the presidents face was covered with
perspiratIon and he was evidently tiring.
For thirty-three minutes he continues to
shake hands with the throng and to
speak d pleasant word to many. He
finally said he was fatigued and the line
was closed. The carriages for the party
were driven to the Piedmont club, where
cold lunch son, with champagne was
served to the company of three hundred
people. after which the president began
a tour of the grounds, visiting the gov
eminent building, the main building. the
negro building, andtnspecting the expo
sition throughout.
The series Of courtesies extended to the
president and party was concluded to-
night with "a reception at the Capital City
club. which put itself on record IS the
most ella aborate social function ever un-
dertaken in the south. The chief execu

the cabinet and the ladies of the cabinet,
between and 10 o'clock, and spent an
hour or more receiving the fifteen hun
dreh people. Major Livingston, president
of the club, did the honors of the occaa-
sion. After the reception the presiden nj

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-From Havana
comes word that it is the daily practice
of the Spanish jailers to take several psf.
sons from the forts and prisons and shoot
them. Each morning the prisoners are
stood up in line. Ten men are selected
for death. Perhaps it is the first ten,
perhaps the last ten men or the M middle

ceived from Sagua la Grande, on the north

tured mountain hospital near Diego del
Vale after fierce combat with 200 Cuban
who were guarding thesick and wounded.
In the hospital were thirty-one insur-
gents, unable to participate In the en-

eral Antonio Maoeo with 5000 Cubans ana
General EEchague with 1900 Spaniards.
The greater portion of the Cubans were
not aUtully engaged, according to the re-
port, but continued to advance toward the
west after the battle.
Only 200 cavalry defended the rear OF
the Cuban army and kept the Spaniards
from advancing. The Spanish troops
hesituted at critical times and did not
fight with the valor which distinguished
their ancestors. Ado ut 800 of their num-
Der were killed.
Gen eral Maceo's westward movement
was for the purpose of succoring the in

he received word that they were threaten

The letter was received from Acting Briga-
dier-General Rego, who, at Manacaragua,

OUR TREATY OBLIGATIONS
Conflict With Battle Ship Building at
Detroit
Inc Dry Dock Company wrsnes Release
From Contract to Assemble Gunboat
Parts at Seattle

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-rhe Detroit
Dry Dock company, to which the naval
bureau chiefs recommended be awarded
the contract for building two of the six
new gun boats, now wishes to withdraw
from the part of its proposition which
looked to the Assem- bling of parts of ships
at Seattle, on the Pacific coast. Mr..
KIRBY, of the firm, is in Washington and
indicates that the company, If 1t secures
the contarct, will build the completed
vessels at Dstriot. He holds that treaty
stipulations do not forbid this, and is
backed up in this view by Don DickIn-
son, who has been active in trying to Sc
cure the contract for the Detroit people.
When Secretary Herbert left for Atlanta
he had arrived at no conclusion, although
the fact that he had decided to send an
inspector to the Detroit WORKS might be
construed favora bly, to the firm.
The board of bureau chiefs have,
however, under the belief that the COM
pany intended to assem- BILE the vessels Oh
inspector be sent to Seattle, where his
work was to pe done according to the
original program. The purpose of the
Detroit company in establishing the
Seattle branch was not only to avoid
any possible objections that might arse
under treaty, but also to secure contracts
from the Russian government for sup
plying number of big ice breakers. such
as they have built for lake use, to keep
the Russian harbors on the Pacific open
in the winter. Now that the company
mas abandoned the plan of assembling the
gunboats on the Pacific, the question as
to the violation of the treaty stipulations
has again been brought forward. Once

to reject the lowest proposal for building

this decision is not now binding. AS a

ment entered into in 1917 between Mr..
Bagot for Great Britain and Secretary
Rush for the United States, and it apears
from the correspondence as printed that
it was our position that was accepted
ny Great Britain. The agreement, ac-
cordng to its terms, was .terminable after
six months notice from either party.
One peculiarly of the agreement is that
it was proclaimed by President Monroe
with the statement that whereas, the
senate of the United States has approved
of the arrangement and recommend that
it should be carried into effect, the same
having received the sanction of his royal
highness.'
1t may be contended that although
the president does not say that the ar
rangement was ratified" by the senate
which is the formal term to indicate the
senate's approval of a treaty. that this is
really the nature Of the arrangement and
therefore that it cannot be- terminated or
