SENSATIONAL SERMON.
DIR. Acton Predicts a Revolution in Thi.
Country.

OouutfSs
Seattle, May 25.-J. Fl. Acton, pas
tor of the First Unitarian church, in
preaching the bsccalaureate sermon in
the university of Warrington today, de-
veloped a sensation by picturing the
present condition of the world in the
darkest possible colors, and prophesy.
ing speedy revolution in the United
States, which, he said, would be ac-
complished at the cannon's mouth, il
need be-" and which he predicted
would overturn the existing order of
things, and radically modify national
government Comparing the country
with the Roman empire, he said:
Rome could levy taxes at the will
of her ruler, declare any complaint
treason. marry her daughters for money
and titles, punish servants tardiness
with death. let the thief and murderer
go free with mild reproof, and make
slaves Of the profoundest philosophers.
What less than this is America doing
today? Rome's moral poverty sealed
her doom. Oh, my country, is it true
of thee? The last appeal of an out
ragged nation is revolution. For
America now there is no other redress.
1t must come We do not want new
hands at the helm, but new ship.
Revolution is at hand, but it need not
be national ruin. Foundations long
considered divine will be torn up; con.
stitutions long considered sacred will
be changed. This will not come as the
echo of a patriotic song. There is
great ruin and loss and upheaval near
at hand. Do you ask me how these
great radical reforms are to be in
augurated? / will tell you. By the
power Of intelligent decision; by ths
explosion of expanding indignation; by
the final climax Of fruitless patience,
which has at last eliminated in the re.
sistless fury of the tempest.
The sermon has provoked severe
criticism. as it is known that no such
sentiments are cherished in the uni
versity, and it was thought out of place
for DR.. Acton to air his peculiar views
from the commencement rostrum.

ing upon the trade of China for 1895,
directs attention to the fact that the
late war with Japan failed to injure
China's trade with the world at large
and that trade really expanded during
the year, Notwithstanding the loss of
Formosa and the close of the New
Chwang custom. house for several
months. With the United States, the
trade was less than for 1894, but was
greater than for any other year, in the
preceding eight years.
The exports to the United States in
1895 were SIS, 1888, 402 and imports
from the United States So, 094, 1872, 3d..

The imports of Russian oil exceeded
those from America for the first time,
probably owing to the heavy imports Of
American oil the preceding year,
which left large stock held over.
In internal development, there has
been no want of progress, though tht
expectations of foreingers that the ole
Chinese conservatism would be broker
down as the result of the war was no
completely realized.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Shocking Crime of San Francisco
SpirituaIist.

Shocking Crime of San Francisco
spirituaIist.
San Francisco, May 25.--Alva K.
Shepherd, jeweler, 80 years of age,
who resided at 2O5 Seventh street, muir
dered his cousion, Mrs. Louis E.
Aweng, some time today, and then cut
his own throat. The bodies, with the
heads almost severed from each, were
found, this evening by occupants of the
house.
Shepherd and Mrs. Aweng were
spiritualists, and it is believed their
sense OF religious duty, combined with
their horror of the morphine habit,
with which, it is said, they were both
afflicted, led to the murder and suicide.
The last heard of the couple was this
morning, when they were heard talk
ing in their room. AS the day passed
and no one came out, the landlady be-
came frightened, and the door was
broken. On the bed lay the woman
with her throat gashed, and ON the
floor in front of the bed lay the MUIR
derer in pool of his own blood. On
the floor was a notebook, in which was
written what are probably the muir
derer's farewell words. The inscrip-
tion read:
Blessing. Depend on God. Cherish
the spirits. May his will be done.
Gods command. No morphine.
These few words furnished the only
known clew to the murder. Mrs.
Aweng was also known as Mrs. Sarah
b. Haden, but it is believed the former
was her correct name.

followed by the defeat of another prop
osition by PETER for the issue of green
backs to meet the appropriations made
by the Notifications bill. Both propo-
sitions were offered as amendments to

passed, thus leaving but one of the ap-
preparations bills to be acted upon.

ate So, 845, 837. This was beyond all
precedent departure in the line of
coast defenses, but the senate, not con-
tent with this, and after due consider
alton in the committee ON appropria-
tions, increased the amount by 81, 91S,
05l. Senator Squire was invited to sit
with the senate committee during its

tion of his position ON the subject of

ed an agreement on all the items save
that relating to the Santa Monica and
San Pedro harbors, was made the basis
of an attack ON the bill by Hepburn

posed this measure because it contain

said he realized that his remarks would
not be punctuated by applause. at the
night session. Cummings made stir
ring speech, appealing to his Demo-
cratic friends not to stand in the way
