Wants no Choir in His.

CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-There is a
considerable discussion in religious
circles i'm this city over the an
nouncement that the Chicago
Emanuel Baptist church choir has
been given notice that after
November 10, its services will be
dispensed with. This is in conse-
quence of the position of the new
pastor, the Rev. Johnston Meyers,
who says that art is all right in
its place, but that it is not the
mission it of the church to usurp
the functions of the concert stage.
He likes oratories in its place but
in church he prefers sacred songs
which change mems hearts and
lives. Emanuel church is said to
possess the finest church quartette
in the western country, but this
fact has failed to impress the new
minister. He wants the congre-
CATION to do the singing.

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-The Lon
don correspondent Of the World
cables the following: London
Oct. 2l.-In conversation tonight
with an official of high standing
and intimately acquainted with all
the inside facts of the Venezuelan
dispute, / learned that the minis
terial contention here is that the
present decisive action OF the Brit
ish was provoked by the recent
dispatch from the American state
department, enforcing in siren
uous terms the Monroe doctrine in
connection with this question. My
informant told me that, to his posi-
tive knowledge at an interview at
which Ambassador Bayard was
communicating the terms of dis
patch to Lord Salisbury, the latter
interrupted him midway, with the
remark that he need not proceed
further, as the British government
could not even entertain the argu-
ments put forward and absolutely
declined to recognize such an ap-
plication of the Monroe doctrine.
The terms of Lord Salisbury's
written reply were practically the
same and included a complaint in
which the question had been dealt
with in dispatches Of the Ameri-
can government as increasing the
difficulties of the situation. In
this argument the state depart
ment was invited to remember
that England was an American
power before the existence of the
United States, and her rights in
the American continent conse-
quently anterior to those Of the
United States. Ambassador Bay
ard, in further communication to
the British foreign office, appointed
out that there is no certainty that
England Is right about the Vene-
zuelean frontier as in the British
colonial Office list, the authorized
publication of the colonial report,
1t is stated that the boundaries of
British Guinea have never been
clearly defined in regard to the
parts now in dispute. This was an
awkward reference for the British
government but Lord Salisbury re-
piled that the colonial office list
not being an official publication,
the British government could not
be responsible for its statements.

Spencer and Copyright.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Herbert Spen-
Ger writes a long letter to the Times
this morning on the Canadian
copyright question, in the course
OF which he indicates an important
issue which has been entirely ig-
nored; namely, that the multiple
cation OF the production prevents
the writing Of many books which
would otherwise be written. This
does not much affect the works of
amusement but on the works Of
instruction it often weighs with
fatal effect, not killing, but pre-
venting their birth. The exaction
is condition, Mr.. Spencer goes
on to say, that books must be
printed in America and a serious
evil in the American copyright act
and would be increased IL Canada
and the other colonies were to sue
coed in endorsing similar stipu-
lation on British authors.
"In my own case," Mr.. Spencer
says, "had l not obtained sale in
America without re.printing these
works which have occupied me
since 1860 would have been writ.

Trolley Cable for Canal Boats.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. pa pre-
liminary test of trolley cable way
for the propulsion Of canal boats
was made in the Erie canal at
Towanda under the direction Of
Frank w. Hawley, Of Rochester,
vice-president of this Cataract Con-
struction Co., of Niagara Falls.
After the current was turned on
the motor moved along the cable
for about 40 yards, when the cable
sagged under the weight Of the
motor and the latter touches the
ground and Immediately flames
shot out and enveloped it. The
flames blazed for g. couple of min
utes and the preliminary test came
to an end. Mr.. Hawley said it
would be necessary to procure
machinery to prevent the cable
from sagging before any more
tests could be made. Further
preliminary tests will be made
during the week, and the final a
official test will be made on Satur-
day. Two boats were hauled the
distance of 40 rods before the mo-
tor touched the ground.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 22.-The Du
Pont smokeless powder tourna-
ment, beginning today, to last the
week, will have for trophy the
Du Pont cup, which will be award
ed to the champion wing shot of
America. The magnificence of the
trophy is said to exceed anything
of the kind ever offered for q like
event. Its intrinsic value Is great
er than that of the Americas yacht
cup, and is also in excess of the
Temple cup, for the possession OF
which the leading baseball clubs
play series of games. The cup is
Of solid silver, weighs ITO ounces,
and Is fifteen inches high, resting
upon a magnificent onyx pedestal,
the entire trophy standing fifty
five inches high. The pedestal
forms a gun rack holding four
guns, which are grouped around
the cup, the whole making most
imposing appearance.
The holder Of the trophy will
have to hold himself at all times
in readiness to defend it as under
conditions governing the winner Of
same he Is open to challenge by
any shooter in the world who is a
member of a recognized gun club.
In addition to the trophy the
champion will receive between
ST. 500 and $4,000 in cash, $1,000 be-
ing guaranteed by Messrs. Du
Point & Co., and all entrance money
above that am CUNT being added
to the purse. There will be no ad-
mission charged to the grounds,
consequently shooters in the
amateur class can compete In these
events without fear Of jeopardizing
their amateur standing. The tour
nament will be held on the grounds
of the Baltimore Shooting associa-
ton, three sets of Kings improved
live bird traps being used or the
general events. The championship
event will be shot from the centre
set of traps commencing Thursday
morning, October "a, at 10 o'clock,
and continuing until finished,
This event is anticipated, will re-
quire about three days to shoot
out. This tournament will ex-
coed in magnificence anything
of the kind ever before given
in this country, and perhaps in the
world. Among the possible win
ners might be picked William
Wagner and j. A. Arnold OF Wash
ington, ID. c.; II. A. Penrose, b. w.
Claridge, E. C. Ward, James Ma
lone, r. b. Bond Jessup, Nd; G.
Wessner. The pace will be awfully
hot, and those who stay in until
the last will know they have been
