NEW YORK, June ia special to
the World from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Ex- Minister w. l. Scruggs, who re-
presented the United States government

credited legal representative of Venezu-

the line of the Monroe doctrine Col.
Scruggs is understood to have suggested
also that there was a probability of the
people calling upon Mr.. Cleveland for a
third term.
But am not seeking that" said the
president
ooh, yes, Mr.. President, know that, -
was the substance of Colonel Scruggs'
reply, 'but you know you were not a can

FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.
All the Protestant clergymon in New

All the Protestant CIergymen in New
York Join in an Important Stop.
NEW YORK, June ia meeting of
clergymen representing all the protest
ant churches was held in this city re-
Gently. It is regarded as a most impor-
tant step in the direction of Christian
unity.
DR.. Edward B. Coe of the Dutch Re-
formed faith said that the rivalry dis
played in foreign fields by the
missionaries of various protest
ant denominations amounted prac-
tically to scandal and was
calculated to thwart the efforts of
christianity since even the most simple
minded heather could hardly fail to
draw the conclusion that religion which
divided its own believers into factions
was not ideal
81 do not understand" he said, shat
the meeting June 4th was for the pur-
pose of forming a new organization
way for clergy of all denominations to
get together and discuss what are known
as Lamb articles of common faith.
The meeting was held in Grace
house, adjoining Grace church, and the
name adopted was the League of Catho-
lie unity. Prof. Chas w. Shields of
Princeton was chosen president, and
Rev. Chauncey Landon, of Providence,
secretary and treasurer pro TEN. The
circular sent out says: "Without detach-
ing ourselves from the Christian bodies
to which we severaIly belong or intend
ing to compromise our relations thereto
or seeking to interfere with other
efforts for christian unity we accept
as worthy of the most thoughtful con-
sideration the four principles of the
church unity proposed by the bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal church at Chi
cago in 1885 and amended by the Lam
beth conference of 1888 as follows:
The holy scriptures of the Old and
New Testament as containing all things
necessary to salvation, and as being the
rule and ultimate standard of faith.
The apostles creed as the baptismal
symbol and the Nicene creed as suff1-
cient statement of Christian faith.
The two sacraments ordained by Christ
himself baptism and the suppeE of the
Lord-ministered with unfailing use of
Christ's words of institution and of the
elements ordained by him. The his
tories Episcopal locally adapted in the
methods of its administration to the
varying needs of the association and

WHISKY WAR BEGINS.
An Armed Party Attacks Shu-
teldt Distillery Chicago.
They Are Met by a Posse of U.
S. Marshals.
FIRED 25 OR 80 SHOTS.
The Attackers Fire a VOlley at
the Marshals.
Marshals Reply and the Attack
ing Men Retreat.
FIRED 25 OR 80 SHOTS

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE anticipated
attack upon the Shufeldt distillery, one
of the plants of the trust, occurred at one
o'clock this morning, when an armed
party of zen men attempted to take
possession of the distillery. The at
tacking party was met by the dep
uty marshals who had been placed on
guard by Receiver McNulta of the trust
and after a harmless exchange of
twenty five or thirty shots the men re-
treated.
Trouble has been expected at the trust
dsstilleries since the recent decision OF
the Illinois supreme court, declaring the
whisky trust illegal. Several of the
former owners of the various distilleries
declared under the decision the plants re-
vertsd to those from whom the purchases
were made.
Receiver McNulta promptly applied to
the United States marshal for assistance
and for several days each of the distil-
leries had been closely guarded by armed
deputy United States marshals.
The Shufeldt plant where last nights
trouble occurred is located at Chicago
avenue and the river. The attacking
party secured large scow and when
first seen by the guards was gliding
Bll0QLly OOWQ LQ0 TlN0Es
The deputy marshals were quietly
punched at the landing and when the
scow neared the shore the men were
commanded to surrender. They replied
with volley of revolver shots and the
deputies promptly opened fire. Under
the volley men quickly dropped down
the river and reaching a landing disap-
peared. The force of deputies at the
plant was doubled today.
The Shufeldt distillery was sold to the
whisky trust by the millionaire Lynch
family. One of the Lynches, Thomas
Lynch, jr., has been reported to have de-
clared his intention of regaining posses
sion of the distillery, and his name was
frequently mentioned today in connec-
tion with last nights raid. The officials
| of the trust refused to discuss his con-
| nection with it.
That serious trouble at the SchufeIdt
or Calumet distilleries was feared by the
authorities was evident from the war
like preparations made during the
day. Receiver McNulta had arrang-
ed, it is said, for immediate
help from the United States troops at
Fort Sheridan in case of need and a
large force of deputies was placed on
guard.
1t was stated at the receivers Office
that the troops at Fort Sheridan were
practically under orders to move
at any time but the informa-
ton could not be confirmed at army head
! quarters. Fear was expressed by the au-
thorities that in the event of a deter
mined attack on either of the distilleries,
serious trouble would be caused by the
spectators, many of whom were likely
to join in the attack.
The possibility of mob turned loose
on a we'll stocked distlllery was not a
pleasant one to the authorities and the
police as we'll as the government officers
were on the alert all day.

Is THE BIBLE OBSCENE?
The Question Bound to Be Tried Be-
fore Judge Foster.

The Question Bound to Be Tried Be-
fore Judge Foster.
A motion was made before United
States District Judge Foster to quash the
indictment against ]. B. Wise. Wise is
the Clay county free thinker, who during
a controversy with Rev. II. B. Vennum
of Industry quoted a verse from the
bible on a postal card and sent it to Ven
mum. This made Vennum angry and he
had Wise arrested on the charge of send
ing obscene matter through the mails.
The attorney for Wise, Adolph Bierck
of New York city, asked that the in
dictment be quashed on the ground that
if part of the Bible is obscene the en-
tire book is and it can not therefore be
sent through the mails.
Judge Foster this morning overruled
the motion to quash and Wise will have
to stand trial. The motion was submit
ted by briefs.
