IDAHO should move as rapidly af-
ter adjournment of the Legislature as
constitutional limits will permit to
abolish the election of her United
States Senators by legislatures. The
experience of her first and third leg
islatures in this line of business is a
little more than well regulated
commonwealth ought to stand.

COMING TO CALIFORNIA
Chief Justice Baker of Ari-
iona Will Soon
Resign.
1t Is His Intention to Make Los
Angeles or This City His
Future Home.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. ga. G..
Baker, Chief Justice of Arizona, is to be-
come citizen of Los Angeles, should he
conclude not to move to San Francisco.
He has informed the department that he
will soon send in his resignation as Chief
Justice of Arizona.
The officials of the Department OF Justice
are not inclined TO explain how it is that
Baker contemplates such rash act. 1t is
understood that there is some friction be-
tween the department and the Judge, and
this is at the bottom of the trouble
In the meantime Baker explains shat he
is getting $4,000 a year from the Govern
ment, and while he has been getting $1,000
a year from the Territory that was cut
off by the last Legislature, and now it
happens that he is working on a $4,000
salary instead of a $4,000. 1t is also under
stood that there was some trouble between
Governor Hughes and the Judge. The
fight to get Hughes out has so far been Of
no avail, for the reason, as is well known.
that Hughes salary is used in running a
goldbug paper in Arizona, which is some
thing in the nature of freak in that
country. AS Hughes appears likely to re-
main IN office, it is understood that this
has nettled Baker to some extent and may
have entered into his calculations leading
to his proposed resignation.

greatly heightened by the result of the
late war, had a tendency to lead the mis-
sion converts to set up a national church
of kind of Japanese Christianity, and
they were restless under the restraints of
foreign control; but the Japanese Chris
tians were an earnest and sincere body of
believers, and the apparent friction would
doubtless pass away.
While the review of the mission field is
mainly devoted to the labors OF the Protes-
tant churches. high praise was given to the
Roman Catholic missionaries, whose de-
votion ana success were fully recognized.
The summing up of Mr.. Fosters obser-
vations on foreign missions was highly
favorable to the prosecution of the work
by the churches in America. Practically
the whole world was open to the mission
airy, the various mission boards were better
equipped than ever for doing effective work,
the schools and colleges established in
heather lands could turn cut all the ma
tive workers that the liberality of the
churches at home could support, and the
great need of the Christian cause to-day
was not 50 much men as money to carry
to success the Christianization of the world.

Great Britain Not Giren an Uitimattsf,s
as to YenesHetG.
NEW YORK, NY, Oct. 6.-The Her
AIDS Washington special says: Secretary
Olney and other officials of the State De-
partment still maintain a diplomatic
silence on the subject of the Venezuelan
question, but the little information which
can be had all goes to confirm everything
said in these dispatches.
There have been denials of the London
dispatches that an ultimatum had been
sent to Great Britain. 1t was distinctly
stated that Mr.. Olney had not demanded
an answer within specified time. Mr..
Bayard was simply instructed to obtain a
reply to the distinct and firm statement of
the position of the administration, if pos
sible. in time for the President to treat of
the matter in his annual message to
Congress.
The Venezuelan question bids fair to
overshadow all others during the next
month in Washington, and the CORE
spondenc e that will take place will be of
the greatest importance as affecting the
relations between the United States and
Great Britain.

DEREL|CT MAIL CARRIERS,

served an official of the Postoffiee Depart
ment to-day who has charge of the matter
of spotting mail-carriers. when we get
there we will certainly find some of the
boys out of line and not doing their duty.
L can tell the Offices where the secret SER
vice is needed. Just this morning I re-
ceived letter from business man in San
Francisco In which he states that one man
has delivered mail at his residence for some
years and that he is getting very slow. In
fact, he states that the carrier is inclined
TO visit his family when he comes around
with the mail.
eve will fix it so in due time, after we
get out there, that he will not visit long
with that family or any other family. The
other day had another letter from there,
IN which it was stated that certain carrier
spent at least a half-hour every day in the
back end OF the saloon and counts this in
time against the Government, and it is
also record of the office that that carrier
has brought in'mail undelivered, claiming
that he would have to remain out over
time if he delivered it.
THAT fellow ought to be fired by wire
at once upon the statement of the man
who sends this letter, for it tallies with the
record OF the man who comes in with I'M
delivered mail on the claim that TO deliver
it would call for overtime"
1t was observed, however, that the
spoilers would not get into the city for
some time, despite the fact that Colonel
Austin of the department was there some
weeks ago and made arrangements for the
work to be done at the Office.

MET DEATH IN The CAB,
Terrible Fate Of an Engineer
After a Wreck on the
Hartford Road.
One Brakeman Also Killed and
Three Passengers Seriously
Injured.

WOONSOCKET, R. l., Oct. 6.-South-
bound train No. 1857, the fastest freight on
the Worcester division of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford road, ran

of Providence; Edward Fay, brakeman, of
Providence.

dence, scalded by steam, all flesh above the

die; Albert Holden, fireman, cut on head /;
]. III. Montel of Pawtucket, bruised.
The engineer whistled for brakes when
he saw the switch, but the train could not
be stopped. Lawton was pinned in the
cab and burned to crisp. He was mar
ried man.
Fay was deep under the debris and sew
eral hours work was necessary to recover
the body.

up the point that they were only asking
the Bishops to do what was done by the
President of the United States. Delegate
Biddle of Pennsylvania again thought that
as this safeguard has been in the constitu-
ton since the foundation of the church it
should be continued. There should be
large number of amendments, which he
hoped would be, thrown out of the house
with indignation.
DR.. Fulton of Philadelphia who has
been counted strong opponent of the re-
vision, and whose church paper has given
place to the most vigorous and sarcastic
criticism that has been published, sur
prised his friends by opposing DR.. Wilder's
amendment on the ground that the depu-
ties could not force the Bishops to sit with
open doors.
"Moreover,' he said, 81 do not doubt
but what there are sometimes lively times
in the Bishops sessions, just as we have in
our own, and it would not be decent or
proper to have this heralded in the news
papers"
When the House of Deputies.commenced
its work this morning, DR.. Morgan Dix, as
chairman, announced the appointment of
Rev. Dr. Stone of Chicago, Rev. DIR. Brew
ster of Long Island, Rev. DR.. Lawrence of
Massachusetts and Judge Fairbanks of
Florida a committee to fill vacancies on
the committee on church unity.
Then Rev. DR.. Glazebrook of New Jersey
renewed the resolution, defeated last night,
that the house suspend its business for the
day in order to attend the mass-meeting at
the Lvceum Theater. For this meeting
ex-Secretary of State Foster had come from
Washington by invitation, it is understood,
of some of the Bishops, and the arrange
ments for the gathering had been made by
a Joint local and convention committee.
Rev. DR.. Nichols OF Minnesota said that
there had been nc understanding that the
house adjourn, and when a division had
been challenged so large a majority voted
against adjournment that the ayes were
not counted.
Some of the leading delegates afterward
explained to the United Press that no
slight to the ex-Secretary was intended,
but so much business was on hand that
every hour was valuable.
The committee on new dioceses then re-
ported in favor of the diocese of California,
Maryland and Kentucky and the creation
of new sees, and the report was adopted.
DR.. Ward of Kentucky made plea for
the holding of the next convention at
Louisville, and it was referred to the ap-
propriate committee. At this point the
committee in response to an urgent appeal
from the general secretary of the Board of
Missions, sent by deputation from the
Lyceum, rose by vote of 157 to III, and
the house adjourned.
As the deputies were dispensing a resolu-
ton of greeting from the Methodist con-
ference now in session and indorsing
fraternity and goodwill between denomi-
nations in the interest of Christian unity

appeal Made i,s Chicago for Meetings
All Deer the UsiOn.
CHICAGO, ILL. Oct. 5.-The following
appeal to the people of the United States
in behalf of Cuba has been issued by the
committee selected for that purpose at last
Mondays mass meeting.
1.-The committee appointed by the
Chicago mass-meeting of September 30 held
to express sympathy with the Cubans,
earnestly appeal to their fellow-citizens
throughout the Union to call similar meet
ings not later than October 81 and wher-
ever practicable to be held on that night,
in order that the movement may derive
the benefit of such simultaneous action as
adding to its impresslveness. Already
announcements are made of meetings
projected in this behalf throughout the
country, originating generally with the
citizens who suggest such calls to be made
by the Mayors of their respective locali-
ties, which is a convenient and appropriate
method.
Let deaf ear be turned to the selfish
argument that we are in no wise interested
in the issue of the present conflict
between Spain and Cuba, and that
the issue itself being involved in
doubt we should abstain from any
interference. The cause of liberty is
involved, in which, as directly affecting
our near island neighbor, all liberty loving
Americans should be interested, extending
at least the moral aid of their sympathy
aud the encouragement to the struggling
Cubans and leaving the consequences to
the supreme ruler of nations"
