REV. DIR. FEM

of the High street church, was intro
duceG as the second Portland pastor of
longer service here than Mr.. Wright.
DR. Fem said that he supposed ne was
one Of the antiques, but was glad that
DR.. Dalton was more antique than he.
Dr. Fem declared that MIR. Wright was
an excellent preacher. Some men get
this ability by distinct appeal to the con-
sciousness of the living. Brother Wright
is one of these mon. He has preached at
our High street church and we always
listen to him with great earnestness
and pleasure. He sshows US t it is
not he alone, but the spirit of sod that
speaks in him. We particularly like him
in the High street church for his ortho-
doxy. There isn't rotten timber IN
his theology.
We Of the High street church love the
man. oh, you've got rare man, you
people of st. Lawrence street church.
The purity of his purposes, the loftinees
of his motives, the transparency Of mis-
heart are very lovely when you know
him and know him we'll.
DR.. Fenn spoke Of the proposed new
church and the fact that if it faced the
east and looked upon the bay it's site
would rival that of any in this city.

GERMAN WRATH.

Outburst of Condemnation of British Pro-
ceedings.
Berlin, January 1.-Coniderable excite
ment prevails here over the crisis in the
Transyaal, and the attitude of Great
Britain is denounced upon all Sides The
National Zeitung says:
"The South African company, holding
the charter of the Queen, has committed
a grievous breach of the peace and viola
tion of the law of nations. Germany's
interests demand that the independent
republic shall be maintained intact, and
we expect Germany to interpose with all
possible emphasis to assist President
Kruger
The Vosssche Zeitiung sa-s: "The
proceedings of the British South Africa
Company cannot be tolerated and Ger
many must immediately take energetic
steps to project the South African re-
public''
The paper expresses hope that DIR. Leyd,
the secretary of state of the South Afri-
can Republic. who is now in Berlin in
close communication with the foreign
office, has already teIegraphed to Pretoria
that Germany will grant the Beers pro-
lection that will not be merely diplo-

NO HOPE
That the Bond Bill viii Pass the Senate
The Tariff Bill May be More Lucky.

Washington, January 1.-The Senate
COMMITTEES on finance will hold the
first meeting since reorganization to-
morrow monring. Although final action
may not be taken on either the bond or
tariff bill recently passed by the House,
the members of the committee will urge
speedy action and if possible an imme-
diate report. The best Judgment of the
situation indicates that the bond bill
will be destroyed in the committee and
a substitute in the shape of free coin
age bill reported. Nothing short of this
will satisfy the silver man on the COM
mittee. as they have eight votes to five
against silver. Any measure they agree
upon can be easily adopted in the COM
mittee
Mr.. Woloott of Folorida one of the new
men added to the committee has not
been in Washington this winter owing to
i'll health but his absence makes little
difference as the silver men still have a
working majority of two in the commit
tee and clean majority in the Senate
of 10 or II. 1t is probable that the tariff
bill will be reported to the Senate with
out amendment The Republicans have
been making every effort to get together
on this measure and the silver Republi-
cans who will vote for free coinage as a
substitute for the bond proposition it is
believed can be persuaded to refrain from
putting such amendment in the tariff
bill. The Republican leaders hops to see
the bill pass the Senate as it came from
the House. 1t is believed the President
will veto it and it is thought by the Re
publicans to be good politics to put the
President where he will be compelled to
veto the measure intended to increase til Q
receipts and provide an adequate revenue.
Whether the Republicans can be lined up
on this proposition and persuaded not to
insist upon amendments is a question
no one can answer. 1t is not unlikely
that after the bill is reported the Repub-
lican caucus will be held to discuss the
subject and agree upon a policy.

VERY SENSlBL E.
The New York Legislature Adopts Resolu-
tions on the Venezuelan Situation.

Albany, N. Y, January ]. Following
was the unanimously adopted by the SEN
ate and Assembly today:
1t is proper that the legislature
Of the State of New York, convening at
the time when the country is concerned
about grave questions of international
policy, to state clearly it's position as being
always in favor of loyal maintenance of
the right and dignity of the government
of the United States
That it is our clear conviction, that
arbitration is the true, logical, intelligent,
humane and honorable method of settl-
ing differences, ESPECIALLY between great
Christian nations of the world.
That in conformity as we believe,
with the views of the people of this state,
we are of the opinion that the arbitrary
determination by any European power,
to fix boundaries of its territory on the
continent of America, so as to enorouch
upon any -neighbor, would be an invasion
of the rights of the people of the country
affected, and involve a violation or tne
essential principles of the Monroe ooo-
trine.
That to avoid the risk of erroneous con-
clusionS about matters which the ffesl-
dent declared still open to investigation,
it is our earnest counsel to walt the re-
port of the commission already empow-
cred by Congress to examine all the facts
in the Venezuelan dispute
That, realizing the waste OF precious
life and wreck of financial prosperity,
and the horrors whicn would De the In
eyitable result of an armedsconfict be-
tween England and the United States,
we believe every honorable means of
settling any possible differences should
be resorted to and exhausted before
amioabIe relation between these two
great nations, which poilcysuoday stands
before the world for NEST advanced civil
lizatinn should be broken.

REV. DIR. DALTON.

DR.. Dalton first spoke of the fact that a
great many pastors get though their
popularity In a few years, and the people
are as eager to have them go as they were
to have them come. In the cast of Broth
er Wright we have an exception. There
is reason for his continued popularity.
In the first place there is his simplicity
of character. People like man who is
trait is sincerity. We like sincere peo-
pie even they don't always say what we
like. Allied to this is honesty, integrity
This trait is of the first Importance.

The Burden Diamond Robbery.

New York, April l6.-The Herald this
morning says: The Herald was in
formed late last night, on the best of au-
thority, that the great Burden diamond
robbery has been solved. It was stated
that a former servant committed the
thefts. This servant is now said to be
on the ocean. Instructions have been
cabled to Scotland Yard by the New
York police to arrest the servant upon
the arrival of the steamer. Some time
ago the servant in question expressed a
desire to quit the Burden employ and
make trip abroad. 1t was after the
departure that a second servant is said
to have made the confession upon which
the Scotland Yard authorities were in
etructed to act,

less consists of vest OF padded material
and mask for the jaw and nose 1t is
so built that even the most heavily
landed blows seem to the wearer like a
gentle tapping and a person provided
with the device is practically invulner-
able against a knockout.
Bob Fraser, local amateur boxer, is
the inventor. He completed this new
suit of his invention three days ago.
Besides the protection afforded the wear
er is an electrical registering device to
count the number of blows struck. This
will result in making sparring contest
for points in which no referee is needed
to give the decision. When a vulner-
able point is struck stiff spring is COM
pressed, an electrical contact is made,
small bell makes single stroke and the
register counts one. The batteries.
wires, register and bell are all fitted in
the back of the suit, and are extremely
light. Only punting blows are made to
count.
Last evening Mr.. Fraser donned his
suit for a go with j. J. Corbett. The
big man chased his little antagonist
about the stage, delivering blows with
both hands until the register on the
back of Mr.. Fraser's suit indicated 100
blows. Mr.. Fraser's score was about
six. After the trial the ex-champion ex-
pressed himself astonished and delighted
with the new invention and said it
would prove great benefit to the art of
boxing. A person equipped with it
would be practically secure against a
knockout, even by a far superior antago-
mist.

Senate Considers Peffer's
Bond Resolution.
HILLS SPEECH IN OPPOSITION
He said Investigation Was Proposed
without Charges Being Made
Blue's Amendment De-
feated.

WASHINGTON. April 16.-At 2 :35 p. m.
Peffer's resolution for an investigation
of the bond sales was laid before the
senate and the struggle for precedence
occurred.
Cullom, Allison and Hale urged the
appropriation bills, but it was finally
determined to consider the bond reso-
luton.
Hill took the floor to oppose the reso-
luton. He said this was Populist
resolution and no one had better right
to control it than PETER. Hill declared
the investigation was proposed without
charges or grounds for imputing wrong
doing. PETER wanted bond investiga-
tion because he thought there was a
popular curiosity about bond issues.
The senators who wanted bond inves-
tigation should have made specifications.
Their course was extraordinary, and was
taken because no one wauted to be re-
sponsible for it if it was found nothing
wrong had been done. 1t was preferred
to take the gossip of the street and news
paper insinuat1ons rather than we'll
known, actual facts.

sensation in Brooklxn.

New YoRK, April 16.-The Rev. Harry
M. Covert left his home in Brooklyn
March 81, and on the same day, and at
at the same hour, by what may be a
strange coincidence, Mrs. Helene Spring
er, widow, also left her home, which
was just around the corner from where
the Coverts lived.
When "The Rev." II. M. Covert, who
is one of the best-known evangelists in
the country, left his residence, he left
behind handsome wife and step-son
aged IA. When Mrs. Springer left her
home she deserted a son by her first
husband, and a married daughter She
did not go away, however, until she had
sold her residence, disposed of $4 900
worth of household furniture, and nego-
tiated the sale of $4,000 worth of bonds
and stocks, which gave her total capit-
al of $4,000.
Covert married Mrs. Alice Mason in
June, 1892. She was particularly
comely women of about 40 years, and he
was man prepossessing in appearance.
1t was she who had the money; he had
nothing. Years before he had been a
real estate speculator and had amassed
anything but an excellent reputation on
the exchange. She inherited from her
husband an estate amounting to some
thing more than 1000.
Mr.. Covett, after his marriage, became
an evangelist of the Baptist faith. OF
magnificent physique, splendid voice
and a native eloquence, which was rare
and pleasing, he gained reputation as
platform orator. He was known in
Chicago, Philadelphls, Boston, Kansas
City, Omaha and in smaller cities
Mrs. Springer is perhaps 80 years of
age. She is still decidedly handsome.
Neighbors call her "dashy," whatever
they mean. Mr.. Covert met her at mis-
sionary meeting in Brooklyn, and since
that time his attentions to her have
been marked. People told Mrs. Covert
of this, but she had faith in her
husband.
An expressman called on Mrs. Covert
one afternoon and asked for Mrs.
Sprnger's trunks, saying they were to
be shipped to Los Angeles. The ex-
pressman said he had been directed to
the Covert house. Mrs. Covert oblig-
ingly directed the man to the Widows
residence. That same afternoon the
evangelist's wife received the following
letter:
DEAR am going away, probably to
Chicago. My love for you is dead, and
1 will never return. It seems hard that
we should part thus, but the Lords will
be done. l can no longer live with you,
