lie STATES HIS POSITION
REV. MIR. LANSING EXPRESSES HIS
views IN CHURCH MATTERS.

In Sending in His Resignation He Saws
That He Reserves to Himself the Sense
of Duty That is Required of Him to tho
Church and His Master.
Boston, May 25.-Rev. Isaac ]. Lam
sing having received from committee
of the Park street church letter res
questing his resignation as pastor to-
day for the first time expressed his
views and stated his position in regard
to the agitation in the church His
statement took the form of letter to
Daniel c. Brewer and others of the
committee in which, after expressing
his belief that the resolution introduced
at the recent church meeting request
ing his resignation was not presented
in legal and proper manner he says:
Waving, however, for the moment.
the consideration of this objection, r
am now compelled to notice in the LETT
ter from your committee the entire abb
sence of any and every reason for this
action. The absence of reasons leaves
me exposed to gross surmisses and mis-
understanding both as regards per-
sonal character and conduct, and as to
the course OF my ministerial life with
you.
This is especially danger In view
of the many misleading, untruthful
and, therefore, injurious statements as
to my course and action in this af-.
fair. While I feel obliged, as a matter
of right. to refuse compliance with IL
legal action on the part Of the society,
action which was a breach Of contract
and taken without any allusion to the
necessity Of consultation with myself,
and while find myself able to agree
in this illegal church action Of May S
I reserve to myself the
future consideration of what may be
required by my own sense Of duty to
this church and of the honor due to the
Master who has called me into His SER
vice.

 "J. Wade Mcdonald: I have noticed with much interest your withdrawal from the Democratic party and the es- pousal of the Peoples Party. This ac- tion meets my approval, since have concluded to enroll myself in the same cause. The financial plank in the Re publican platform must drive from that panty any one who believes as l do, and tine anarchial plank tin the Democratic platform must lose to it any person who believes in the pro tection of American citizens at home as we'll as abroad. The platform of the Peoples Party, on the contrary has no objectionable principles and seems to offer a political home that any American can proudly enter Yours truly, JESSE. R. GRANT"

The Train Robbers Life
 Is Saved.
Sentence Committed to lm-
 prisonment..
The Governor States His. Reason as to Why He Committed the
 Sentence.

Oscar Rogers, the convicted train robber sentenced by Judge Owen T. Rouse on December 19, 1894, to be hanged and which event was to take place on September IS, is now sure of his neck, for Governor Franklin has intervened and commuted the sentence to imprisonment in the territorial penitentiary for forty years.
 The governor stated yesterday. that there were circumstances in connec- tion with the case that prompted him to commute the sentence.
 The sentencing judge and Associate Justices Hawkins and Bethune, the dis trict attorney of Pinal county, where Rogers was tried, the grand and trial jurors and prominent citizens signed the petition to the governor to have the sentence oommuted In review ing the case Governor Franklin said that the conviction of Rogers was the first under the new law making train robbery capital offense and he would not feel disposed to interfere, but in this case there were mitigating cir cumstances Rogers is but boy, be- ing only about 22 years of age," said the governor, "and the chief con- spirator was the man Frank Armer, who induced Rogers to help him rob the train. In view of the fact that at the time of the commission of the deed no lives were lost and the only loss sustained was $165 by Wells, Fargo & Go.
 Furthermore, at the time of the trial of Armer and Rogers the former was allowed to plead guilty and re- ceived sentence of thirty years in the penitenhiary, while Rogers, being the least guilty, was mot allowed to enter the same plea and was therefore tried | and found guilty. lie was sentenced to hang, while the chief conspirator received a term in prison
 Believing the facts, and circum- | stances in connection with the case such as to justify a communication oi sentence and that the ends of justice will be subserved, I commuted the sentence to forty years in the peniten- tiary."
 The Swedish minister at Washing ton took notice of the case and inter. vened through the secretary of stats to use what influence was possible un der the circumstances to have Rogers sentence commuted.
