president of BAPTIST congress,


Q side tracked passenger coach. For a
whole winter sessions were held in the car,
and this was the beginning of the "chapel
car movement.
It was this that gave Boston W. Smith,
Sunday school missionary of the Amer
lean Baptist Publication society, an idea
which he carried out with such earnestness
that he soon had a car equipped for mis-
sionary work. The Baptists now have
three such cars.
The first car was built by syndicate of
wealthy Baptists and was given free trans
portation over all the railroads in tho
northwest. 1t was renamed the "Evan-
GEL" and a dedicating hymn was written
for it, ono verse Of which Is:
Roll on, thou bright "Evangeli'
Go like the flying wind
Till all shall know Of Jesus,
The Saviour Of mankindl
Across the great, wide prairie,
BY mountain g sloping height,
Sing songs of our Redeemer,
The darkened worlds great light.
One of the most prominent men in home
missionary work Is DR.. Thomas ]. Nor

General Morgan will probably have
something Of special interest to say about
the Indian missions. This Is subject on
which he Is an authority, as he held the
position of commissioner Of Indian affairs
under Harrison's administration. BE had
previously been professor in an Indian
college. He is fine speaker, vigorous
writer and good organizer. 1t is largely
due to his efforts that the work Of tho
Home Missionary society has been SO sue
oessful.
Another we'll known Baptist is Rev.
John n. Chapman Of Chicago. He is the
president Of tho Young Peoples Baptist
union and has had much to do toward
making that organization successful.

Of Bengal in 1877 that 3, 222 persons were
baptized in one day. There are now many
thousands Of Baptist communicates In
India. Missions are sustained also In Ja-
pan, Africa, Italy, Brazil and Mexico.
The Baptists are great educators. They
believe in having an educated laity as we'll
as an educated ministry. Vasssr college,
for young women, at Poughkeepsic N. Y,
Is one Of the hest known institutions Of
the kind in the land. While 1t Is not CON-
Quoted as UNCONVENTIONAL school, 1t was
founded by q Baptist, and 1t Is governed

working on the hold up. He expresses
an opinion that the job was done by two
men, and that the train crew is mis-.
taken as to five. Six arrests have been
made on suspicion, but nothing. can be
proven against the men, and they were
made as a precaution.

Burfeld, young hardware merchant
Of this place, met with serious acci-

dynamite. He was in the back room
of his fathers store at the time, and
was connecting fuse on a stick Of
dynamite when the explosion occurred.
He lost one eye and one hand, but it is
thought he will recover. Thomas Slough

The representatives Of 1000, 900 Baptists
are to meet at Providence on Nov. Is. The
place will be peculiarly appropriate fol
their national congress- for it was at Provi.
dence that Roger Williams, the original
American Baptist, found refuge when he
was driven out Of Massachusetts, by the
Puritans $50 years ago.
Already preparations have been made
for great crowd of delegates, as 1t Is ex-
pected that the attendance this year will
be larger than ever before. Every associa-
tion of Baptist workers in the country is
to be represented at this congress, and the
proceedings will be most interesting.
There will be delegates, both clerical and
lay, from all parts Of the country.
The questions to be taken up by the
Baptist congress differ greatly from those
discussed in other church conferences. The
Baptists are thoroughly democratic. They
are bothered by no rovisiors of oreeds or
amendments to their articles OF faith.
Their church is threatened with no schism.
Each church governs itself, SO there Is no
long list of quarrels for the national body
to settle. There is no ecclesiastical court
of appeals or anything that approaches it
within their organization.
The whole attention of the congress-
therefore, will be given to tho planning Of
new evangelistic work and the reviewing
of that which has been done.
That the Baptists will be given hearty
welcome to Providence goes without say
ing. They are known as good folks, as
solid, substantial citizens and as earnest
Christians the world over. Although in
dividually Baptists are not usually of the
wealthy class, theirs is one Of the most

Thinks Turki.h Massaorss Have Been
Caused by Russian Intrigue.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Oscar s. Straus,
minister to Turkey in the first Cleve-
land administration, expresses the be-
lief that the Armenian massacres have
been inspired by Russian political in
triguers. n
II do not believe" Mr.. Straus said,
'that the crisis in Turkey will produce
European war. On the contrary it may
bring England and the Dreibund on the
one side, and France and Russia on the
other, into closer relations. The Duke
of Wellington said at the beginning of
this century, If Constantinople be
taken, the map Of Europe must bs re-
constructed .
England would Never Conssnt.
The power that hungers most for
Constantinople is Russia. The event Of
Russia appropriating Constantinople
would mean the reconstruction Of
Europe, to the immense advantage
of Russia and the consequent
disadvantage Of England and Western
civilization. I feel confident in saying
England will never consent to Russia 8
occupying Constantinople. There is pos
sibility that the powers may agree to
make Constantinople free city, letting
Russia have Armenia and leaving the
Turks to rule the remainder of Turkey,
the same as the shah rules Persia. If
the sultan fails in restoring order, such
fate will be his as the six powers carve
out for him"

The Cold IL . Blessing.
The severity Of winter is an exploded
myth in so far as it materially inter
feres with the general prosperity of the
country. In many respects it is bless
ing rather than curse. No climate is
more conducive to domestic happiness
because in no country is the family re-
lation more closely cemented. The
long winter nights afford time for read
ing and reflection. The best thoughts
come from northern latitudes and they
always will. The farmer works in the
summer and rests from his labor during
the winter months, and with his family
find then their best enjoyment.
, With homes for thousands more, with
native coal in as many hills, and mill
ions of acres Of virgin soil IS fertile as
the valley Of the ancient Nile, and
thousands Of square miles Of natural
pasturage for horses and cattle and
sheep-these when fully developed and
utilized will exemplify the resources OF
the state.
immigration alone will hasten the
work.

claims referred by it should be so audited
and allowed. 1t further appears that 1t
was the understanding and agreement Of
the District with it's contractors that for
the work performed under them these
rates should be allowed and paid, and a
circular to that effect was issued to all the
contractors whose contracts were revived
by the Commissioners.
"a corresponding advantage was given the
District in that the 3.65 bonds then rating
at from G5 to 20, We're to Re received at
par value in substitution Of the clause that
required monthly payments to be made in
such case. That these rates were only
reasonable compensation for the work per-
formed is fully attested by the Commits
sioners In sworn statement. From
careful estimate appears that the
amount involved in thus carrying into
effect what the committee find to be the
true relations of both parties to the con-
tracts will not exceed from 100000 to
$4,000, it appearing that nearly all the
parties have received these rates, and
those who have failed so to receive them
have failed from clerical omission OH the
intrusted preparation of the contracts.
The proposed legislation does not extend
any claims other than those already filed
and does not permit the institution of new
suits 1t Is further shown that these
rates were made the basis of assessments
against the property abuttirg the improve
ments, and have been collected from the

favorably reported from time to time to

In view of all the facts, your committee

a substitute for Senate bill 2165, and

On Same Line.
Somewhat In this line was a bill intro
duced today by Senator Hunton, by re-
quest. directing the Commissioners of the
District to receive and audit all outstand-
ing certificates of indebtedness issued by
the late board Of public works, or the
board of audit for the redemption of which
there is no existing law; and to issue to
the persons entitled thereto drawback GER

cluding interest to the date of redemption.
These drawback certificates shall be re-
ceivable for all arrearages and general
taxes due and unpaid on and prior to June
30 next preceding their issue. The bill
was referred to the District committee.

outside of the majority Of The committee,
and therefore the manner of its recep-

PRINTING OFFICE SITE.
Reports for and Against the Mahon
Site. ---


Site.
The majority and minority report on the
bill providing for the purchase Of square
673, known as the Malone square, as q
site for the government printing Office, was
submitted to the House today. The ma
jor!ty report merely recommends the pas
sage of bill providing for the purchase
Of this site. directly or by condemnation,
but makes no recommendation IN favor Of
the measure.
The minority report, which is signed by
Representatives Abbott and BretZ, opposes
the purchase of this site as unfit and un-
suitable for the purpose for five reasons:
First, that it Is remote from the Capitol
and inconvenient of access to many men,
bers of Congress who would have to visit
the printing office; second, that it is re-
mote from railroads and that the carriage
Of supplies would, during term Of years,
add a great amount; third, that Tiber
CT eek before being converted into a sewer
ran through this square and formed pool
in which thirty or forty years ago the
boys used to fish and swim; fourth that no
suitable foundation could be obtained ex-
cept at very great cost the ground having
been formerly swampy and boggy; fifth,
that for many years the square was q
dumping ground for street sweeping and
offal, and that from five to thirty feet of
it are made up of these dumpings.
Eight afhdarits from old citizens testify
ing to these statements were presented as
exhibits with the minority report.

SEAL FISHING REGULATIONS.
PrOvisfGDs of the Paris Tribunal That
HnHe Pr0YcL AbOrtiYe.


The Secretary of the Treasury has prac-
tically completed regulations for the gov
ernment of vessels employed In fur seal
fishing during the coming season. These
regulations will not materially differ from
those in operation during the last season.
1t is thought that the regulations to be is
sued by the British government will not
differ from our own.
Another matter Of great Importance to
the sealing Industry is now under consid-
Grafton Assistant Secretary Hamlin last
summer Visited the Pribiloff Islands and
thoroughly investigated the whole sealing
question and he has now about completed
his report to the Secretary the subject.
The report shows that the greatest menace
to the life of the seal herds is pelaSic seal
ing and Is not the number permitted to be
taken on the islands. 1t also shows that
the action of the Paris tribunal has been
proven to have fallen far short of prevent
ing the wanton slaughter OF seal life,
which may soon result in the total de-
struction of the herds, since seals may De
freely killed sixty miles from shore. AS
these are mostly females, the increase OF
the herd Is prevented.
Another provision of the Paris award
which is said to have been aborttVe Is that
no firearms should be used within the
sixty mile zone. The most successful num-
ters never use firearms, the spear or har-
poon being far more effective. In view OF
these facts steps are about to be taken to
secure Great Britain's consent to a modi-
fication of the Paris award, having for it's
object the total suspension for specified
number of years of pelagfc scaling within
the Bering sea. No measure less heroic
than this it is said can prevent the ulti-
r-ote extinction of seal life in these north
ern waters.
