The large auditorium OF Greene Me-

Ing Sunday morning and night by the
representative church. goers of the city,
irrespective of denominational distinc-
ton, to hear Rev. Collins Denny, pro-
lessor of moral philosophy in Wander

The subject of the morning discourse
was "Christiap Education"

OF several false views on,the subject
tho speaker declared true education to
be the highest possible conception of
truth, and tho noblest possible concep.

All of Mr.. Dsnny's delivery was OF

WESTERN ROADS POOLED,
The Canadian Pacific Will
Join the TranScontinental
Association.
Huntington's Company Must Cease
Paying Commissions for Immi.
grant Business.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 27.-The Canadian
Pacific to-day voted yes on the proposition
TO form a transcontinental association
and thereby insures the new pool Of
roads running to the Pacific Coast. The
object of the association will be simply the
preservation of rates. There are nc
stringent penalties for the violation of the
agreement, and it is thought by the best
informed that the life of the new organi-
cation will be long one. B. D. Caldwell
presiding over the new western associa-
ton, was elected chairman of the trans
continental line also. The agreement has
not yet been signed having been only COM
pleted this afternoon, but there will prob
ably be no hitch before this is done.
The new agreement will compel the
Southern Pacific road to cease paying ex-
cessive com missions to agents for immi-
grant business, and thereby cause peace in
the western immigrant clearing house,
whose worst STUN bling block it has for q
long time been.
Chicago-St. Paul lines to-day reached a
conditional agreement. If the 500 line
comes in the traffic pool will be complete.
That line will be given several days to an
swer, and the meeting adjourned subject
to the call OF the chairman.

Will Have No Compromise on
the Parochial School
Question.
NOW TALKING OF SECESSION
The Troubled Province May Attempt
to Become an Independent
Colony.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Nov. 27.-An inn
portant communication received tonight
shows that affairs i'll Manitoba are ap-
preaching crisis, and the Canadian Gov
eminent will doubtless be called upon very
soon to face one of the most crucial tests
ever known in its history.
For three months past exciting events
have been impending in Manitoba, and in
vestigating commissions were repeatedly
sent to the region, and each time returned
with reports showing that nothing was to
be feared. The investigations, however,
were never carried on, so it was learned
tonight. and the alarming state of affairs
has been going on unmolested and con-
stantly gathering strength.
The situation at present is this: Within
month the Dominion Parliament will be
summoned to pass remedial order direct
to the Roman Catholics their parochial
schools. Then will come the climax to the
long and bitter warfare-a climax that
promises to disrupt the confederation OF
Canadian provinces. To all entreatles for
a compromise to avoid trouble Premier
Greenway turns deaf ear, and it is inevi-
table that if the Dominion authorities re-
store Roman Catholic schools in the coun-
try they can only do so by force.
The most sensational feature of the in
formation from the troubled district is
that in Winnipeg and the contiguous
country there is a growing movement in
favor of secession from the Dominion en-
tirely, which in reality means the setting
up of crown colony entirely independent
OF Ottawa, but it is certain that Premier
Greenway will bitterly resist the restora-
ton of Roman Catholic schools.
The startling news has caused decided
sensation in all branches of Government
circles, the general impression being that
the crash is at hand, and that it will re-
quire the whole strength of the Govern
ment to breast it. A large majority of the
mem bers of the Government are outspoken
in their condemnation of the harsh meas
ures adopted by Premier Greenway. The
latter, when seen tonight, stated that his
policy was fixed, but that he would keep
his own counsel as TO what action he would
take.
"The rights of the Dominion will be
carefully guarded and any attempts at
coercion or intimidation will be sternly
met"

MINISTER TERRILL sCoRCHED.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Nov 27-The denun-
citation of Minister to Turkey Terrell by
Rev. I. NJ. ]. Johnson of Jefferson City,
Mo-, was supplemented to-day by Rev.
DR.. w. R. L. Smith, pastor of the Third
Baptist Church of this city, who was a
companion of Rev. Mr.. johnson in his
travels through Turkey. DR.. Smith said ::
Mr.. Terrell is not a Mohammedan, but
it is common expression among Amer
lean Consuls and missionaries to say that
they might as we'll have a Mohammedan
for a ruler, for all that Terrell does for
them.
''Of all classes of foreigners who 60 to
Turkey the American is the most de-
tested. An American, wherever he goes,
cannot divest himself of his ideas on pollt-
zeal, civil and religious liberty. He carries
these notions into Turkey, and they will
crop out. Consequently our missionaries
have the greatest difficulty in obtaining
the smallest favors. and are subjected to
all kinds of petty annoyances.
"To secure the smallest favors the inter-
vention of the American Minister is neces-
sary and Minister Terrell is practically
useless. Mr.. Wallace, American Consul
at Jerusalem, told me that while there
Terrell in a gathering of Turkish officials
told them that he was not Christian, but
believed in God as they (the Turks did.

TIRED OF LIFE IN OFFICE,
Mr.. Cleveland's Craving for Pc.
litical Preferment Is
Stated.
Intimates to Banker Benedict That He
Would Decline to Run
Again.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 27.-Wher
seen this morning relative to a statement
published in a morning paper in this city
stating that President Grover Cleveland
would never consent to stand for thirc
term, E. C. Benedict, the Broad-stree
banker, who was authority for the state
ment, said that in part the statement wa.
true, but in certain places it was made toe
strong.
81 am not positive that he would mo-
consent to run for third term. / an
positive of nothing save death and taxes,
said he. ITO set the matter forever right
l will write what have to say"
Mr.. Benedict then penned the following
and handed it to a reporter:
"All that | have said or can say IN refer.
ence to President Cleveland's views as to q
third term is inferential. l infer from
what he has repeatedly said that he is i'm.
patient to be rid of all official cares, and
unwilling to have them prolonged under
any circumstances"
Continuing. Mr.. Benedict said:
"It is no secret to anybody who knows
Mr.. Cleveland we'll as to his views on this
subject. He has been counting the months
until he can be free of the trammels OF
public affairs. He feels-and he told me
so; in fact, he has told many of his friends
so-that he was a great fool to accept the
Presidency the second time. He said .
have had enough of victory and defeat
and that is all man can have in this
world
"Have you ever questioned the Presi.
dent directly upon the third-term aues
tion?" was asked.
No" answered he. "but you don't al
ways have to ask. Collateral matters>will
sometimes answer"
Mr.. Benedict then in confidence told the
reporter OF certain actions of the President
bearing upon the third-term question
which tended to show that Mr.. Cleveland
would not stand fourth time for the
Presidency.
do you agree with some of Mr. Cleve-
lands enthusiastic friends that Mr.. Cleve-
lands duty is plain-that he should accept
the nomination next year,"
mo, do not" answered Mr.. Benedict,
"and | think that the claim made in GER
tain quarters that he preferred the NOM
ination because the Democratic party has
no better man is an insult to him."
Mr.. Benedict, in conclusion, said: "As
to being positive that Mr.. Cleveland would
not accept a fourth nomination, am not
do not think he will do So"

FEW PLUMS FOR CALIFORNIA.
Nearly An Subordinate Positions in TIL
House Taken into Camp by East
ern REPRESENTATIVES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.-The Or
ganization of the House was practically
decided by the action of the Ohio and In
diana delegations tonight in their deter
mination to support Mcdowell of Missouri
for sergeant-at-arms, McElroy of Ohio for
postmaster and Fisher of Kansas for chap
lain, and although some of the Califor-
mans had signified their intention of vot-
ing against the com ine they will proba-
bly, decide to be with the winners. If Gen
eral Henderson decides to run for SER
geant-at-arms, Loud, Bowers and perhaps
others of the Californians may vote for
him.
Thus far the only Californians men,
toned for subordinate positions in the
House are F. j. Brandon and j. G. Boat
man of Oakland for reading clerk and
Loud may possibly urge his secretary, Mr..
Ballard, for position. But the Califor-
mans were late in getting into the combi-
nation. Mcdowell ct al. can win without
their votes, so unless General Henderson
succeeds in being elected sergeant-at-arms
against the combination California will
again be ''left in the cold' as regards
minor positions in the House organization.

at Cleveland and which are numerous in
the Ohio Valley, particularly"
1.-The trouble is" argued Mr.. Outh-
waite, ''an entire new outfit of machinery
is necessary to do that class of work, and
as the Government is about the only GUS
toner that can be expected to enter the
field, naturally most manufacturers hest
tate to incur the expense incident to the
business. Of course, if war were to break
out and the Government be compelled to
make attractive terms with the manu-
facturers, there would be no lack of. facili-
ties. However, the board is satisfied that
existing conditions provide all that is
necessary to carry out present plans for
defense within the period when by any
possibility the works can be needed"
Mr.. Cultivate mentioned that besides
the contract for armor secured by the
Bethlehem Steel and Iron Company from
Russia, similar contract had been
awarded by the same Government to Car

JAPAN rs CAUTIOUS.
United States Congress Is in
Coccion

HONOLULU, HAWAII. Noy. 20.-Since
the declaration made by the new japanese
Commissioner Shimamura on the day of
his arrival that he intended to actively
prosecute discussion with this Govern
ment of its failure to fulfill engagements in
the immigration treaty with Japan he has
remained silent. 1t is now believed that
he was at once cautioned by Consul Shim-
idzee in obedience to instructions from
the legation at Washington not to take
any aggressive attitude such as would give
color to the allegation of Minister Castle
that Japan had designs upon Hawaii.
That would be undesirable at the opening
of Congress, in which the Hawaiian ques-
ton would come up.
President Dole stated this morning that
it was no secret that the executive did not
consider favorably the proposition to re-
lease any of the white political prisoners,
except T. B. Walker, who has been very
friendly to the Government. Probably a
maiority of the few remaining natives will
soon be released.

Promised Protection to american Mis-
sionaries Not Granted.
LONDON, ENG, Nov. 27.-The CORE
spondent of the United Press at Constan-
tinople telegraphs under yesterdays date
that dispatches from Harpoot state that
the local authorities of the Porte promised
to afford protection to American missions
there.
The house occupied by Rev. DR.. w. H.
Barnum of Leicester, Mass, and the Rev.
C. Frank Gates of Chicago was saved, but
Ill OF the property it contained was car
ried off and destroyed. This destruction
of property occurred after the Porte's
promise, upon Minister TerrelPs demand
that the mission should be protected, and
the act leaves the Government liable for
damages.
A later dispatch from Harpoot says that
the Rev. DR.. c. II. Wheeler, president of
the American College there, is in feeble
mental health and unable to leave the
town. The dispatch asserts that a great
deal of religious oppression is being exer-
cised upon the natives and also that
speedy assistance is necessary to prevent
their dying from starvation.
A dispatch from Casaria says that fur
Their disturbances are expected there. 1t is
reported that the foreigners were all safe
during the second outbreak at Marash.
An Armenian named Guidjian, a nat
uralized American citizen attached to the
mission at Aleppo, arrived in CONSTANT
nople and was seized by the police, but
Minister Terrell demanded his immediate
delivery to the United States Legation.
