An American Suicides.

s Paris. Oct. 24-Mr Francis Hinton, well-known iron man of Milwaukee, has committed suicide here in dramatic manner His act is attributed to mental depression. He was standing on the steps of his hotel when he suddenly drew a revolver from his hip pocket and with out saying word fired bullet into his brain. The Figaro says the following named gentlemen of the chamber of deputies, who were members of the Southern France railway syndicate made the prof its against their respective names: Jules Roche, 2s, 900 francs; Rouvier, 6750 francs; Lienne, 2300 francs; Delonce 5000 francs; Passy, 12500 francs, and Lemercier, 4500 francs.
 The Figaro, continuing, says: The above deputies were not prosecuted be- cause the official accountant. M. Florv was of the opnon that the formation of the syndicate was perfectly regular, anu therefore it's members were not guilty of corruption.
 In the chamber of deputies today M Juarez, radical socialist member for Tar ma, delivered a remarkably fine speech upon the subject of the recent strike of the glass workers at Carnaux situated in Juarez district. where the deputy was accused of being the chief organizer. A majority of the chamber remained inn passive during the delivery of M Juarez,s address, but he was often interrupted by adherents of the ministry, who took ex- captions to his remarks. M. Juarez de- clared that the apparent active support given to the management of the Car maux glass works had melted the strike, and expressed his belief that the govern ment had encouraged the action of M. Resseguier, the manager of the works, in opposing the demands of the employees in order to ruin the workmen and thus crush socialism. In the course of the en- suing debate violent altercation arose between M. Juarez and M Dupuy, for merly prime minister. in regard to the certain action taken by the latter during the first stages of the strike

UNCLE SAM IS SHUT OUT From the Royal School of Naval
 Architecture. NO REASON WAS ASSIGNED Il Is Thought That We Were Obtaining Too :. Many Plans " : 2M THE BRITISH SHIP BUILDERS z ',1he Visit of the Venezuelan Minister to the State Department Had Nothing to
 Do With the Matter Of the
 Ultimatum.
NO REASON WAS ASSIGNED
.S,M THE BRITISH SHIP BUILDERS

Washington, Oct. 24.-Lieutenant-Co Com mander Cowles, the naval at1ache of the United States mbassy in London, has informed the navy department that the royal school of naval architecture at Greenwich will hereafter decline to re- ceive any constructors of the United States navy. No reason for this action is assigned Post graduate courses for American constructors are still open at Glasgow and Paris, and Cornell univer- sity has recently added a similar course to its curriculum The Glasgow school is private institution and several mem bers of the construction corps of the Uni ted States navy received advance train- ing in naval architecture there. At the navy department several reasons are at- tached to the action of the Greenwich es- tablishment, which is government af- fair It is believed by some that the real cause of the declnation to receive any more constructors of our navy is a desire on the part of the British government to prevent the United States from obtaining plans from British ship builders
 During the past twelve years the United States government has sent to the Greenwich school graduates of the naval academy at Annapolis, who were
 
 constructors. These have received val uable training and return to the United States thoroughly equipped for the work of designing warships.
 The Venezuelan Matter.
 The Venezuelan minister, MT. Andrade, had brief interview this morning with Secretary Olney, but the matter of the ultimatum, 1t is learned was only in definitely referred to. It is believed that the so-called ultimatum was sent to the German foreign officer at Berlin, to be forwarded to President Crespo. Some doubt is expressed if 1t has yet left Berlin, in which event 1t may not reach the Ven ezuelan government for several months. There are quiet intimatons here that at least one of the great European powers whose friendliness towards the United States has been frequently manifested, is interesting itself in this dispute with Great Britain, although to what extent is not known. Notwithstanding the dearth of news during the past few days regarding the ultimatum, each new phase of the situation is eagerly discussed by the members of the diplomatic corps, who believe that if Great Britain shall resort to drastic powers grave consequences affecting a number of countries not di- rectly connected with the affair will fol- low.

THE SOUTH A RICH FIELD
For the Establishment of Congregational Churche; and Missionary Work Inter
 esting Report of MT. cadd.

Detroit, Mich. Oct. 24-The American Missionary association has selected Bos- ton as the place for holding the jubilee annual meeting next year.
 The report on the church work of the association in the south was presented by Henry Martin Ladd, D. D., of Cleveland. He reported that in the one state of North Carolina alone their association has since last year organized more churches than it had organized all through the south during the same pc riod for ten years. The first mountain church to sustain self-support Is the one at Whittier, N. c.
 The most surprising flea ture of the work at the south has been the apparent ly spontaneous generation of Congrega- tjonal churches among people and un- der conditions where such 9 development would be least expected. Science may know nothing of spontaneous generation as a fact, but Corgregationalism does.
 The free churches" of Georgia and the Carolnas, like the free pilgrim churches of the north. have attained their freedom solely by the truth. They have sought out no "isms" of policy, but revolting against ecclesiastical oppression and an unworthy ministry, they have declared for simple principles and have awakened to the necessity that they belong to the congregational sisterhood. The new movement in Georgia is more interesting, showing how Congregationalism springs into being. not only in New England but among the>negroes of the black belt
 There was a gain of 1425 new members in these churches during the past year. There has been remarkable progress of church work among the mountain whites of American highlanders, resulting in eight new churches and a rapidly increas- ing membership.
 A gain in membership of over 50 per cent in three years out of a population which was practically stationary, unaf- fected by looming towns and crowded

 "When the twentieth century dawns upon us," he continues, i've will have to recognize the United States as a naval power of the first class.
