Illumination Does Not Care.

NEW YORK, April 29.-The World
this morning publishes a long in
terview with G. p. Huntington.
The comment of the World in the
case is that the fact that he has
been arrested and is threatened
with the laws terocity, does not
seem to worry Mr.. Huntington.
He said it would almost have been
better if all railroad men had agreed
to obey the Interstate commerce
and it would long since have been
repealed had they done so, but he
is free from care in respect to the
matter.

Japan Talks Tall.

New YORK, April 29.-The Jap
anCse minister at Washington
publishes in the May number of
the North American Review, which
will be issued tomorrow, a state.
mont regarding the future of Japan.
Mr.. KurinO acknowledges that
sin the past Japan has received
from the United States proofs Of a
spirit OF altruism rare if not I'M
equaled in the intercourse of ma
tions," but he points ont that the
interest, which Americans have
hitherto taken in the east has Eeen
in the main sentimental. He thinks
there are signs, however, that this
is now happily giving way to the
distinct recognition of the fact that
no western power has greater or
more vital concern in eastern af-
fairs than the United States. Mr..
KurinO insists that the Japanese
are animated by the wish to show
that they are capable of triumphs
in peace as we'll as victories in
war. In fact the military affairs
OF the country have been developed
only as an Indispensable adjunct
to the national welfare.

EPINAL RESERVOIR.
A DAM DISASTER THAT HAS BEEN
THREATENED FOR YEARS.
Over One Hundred Lives Lost and
More than $1o,OOO,OoO of
Property Destroyed.

PARIS, April 29.-The Epinal res
erVoir, the bursting Of which caused
the destruction Of over SIO,OOO,OOO
worth OF property and the loss Of
more than one hundred lives, had
a superficial area Of 100000 square
metres. In 1884 a large fissure in
the main dam developed. This was
filled with cement and oak beams.
In 1885 the feed canal burst above
BouZey and carried away a length
OF twenty metres. Several houses
were destroyed on this occasion,
but no lives were lost. Some time
before this an inspector of roads
and bridges announced that the
condition OF the dam was danger
Gus and notified the people Of
Bouzey to watch for a possible
disaster. In 1892 there was a Sec
ond accident to the wall near Epi-
nal. During the past two years the
wall of the dam, which should
have been straight, has shown a
bulge to the extent Of one metre.
The chief engineer Of roads and
bridges, who directed the building
Of the dam, had great difficulty
with his colleagues in order to car
ry out his plans for straight dam
instead of curved one. This shape
Of the dam is now given as the
cause Of the accident, but there is a
possibility that the disaster was
caused by the illness, for the past
Is days, of the inspector who was
charged with the supervision Of
the dam,

HOT ENDEAVORITES.
THEY DENOUNOE PHELAN OF ST.
LOUIS FOR ISLANDER.
Petition Satolli to Unfrock Him and
Couch Their Petition in Rather
Questionable Terms.

AsBURY PARK, n. j., April %
The recent attacks made by Father
Phelan, the Roman Catholic priest,
OF st. Louis, and editor Of the West
ern Waterman, on the members OF
the Christian Endeavor societies OF
the United States, has created con-
siderable feeling here where the
Endeavorers are strong. Rev. J.P
Dawson, of the Westminster Pres
byterian church, last night made a
reply from the pulpit to the charges,
during the course Of which he de-
nounced Father Phelan in the
warmest terms. A great crowd OF
Endeavorers were present, and after
the sermon the following petition
was signed by nearly every one in
the building.
"To his Reverence, Mgr. Satolli
Raman Catholic University, Wash
ington, d. c.: We, the undersigned
Christian Endeavorers, OF Asbury
Park, n. j., respectfully call your
attention to the wicked and false
and slanderous statements pub
lished by Father Phelan, one OF
your priests in st. Louis, Mo. This
base and inexcusable assault is
made on more than ten million
earnest, godly and irreproachable
Young Christians. 1t is unparal-
leled in its baseness and enormity
and should consign its author to
everlasting infamy and contempt.
We therefore ask that the creature
from which it emanated be degrad-
ed, unfrocked and deposed from the
high position which he has so dis
graced. We are encouraged to
make this petition from the many
protestations which you, as well as
the Holy See, so ably represent,
have recently made toward Ameri-
ca and American institutions. This
petition o is most respectfully and
earnestly made with full confidence
that you give it immediate and
careful consideration"
Members of the local Christian
Endeavor societies will at once cir
culate petitions for additional sig
natures and when both Asbury
Park and Ocean Grove have been
canvassed the petition will be for
warded to Mgr. SatOlli.
