afternoon.
New York, August 2S.-At o'clock
this morning colOrs were hOisted on DO
ard the fleet of American war ships
at anchor off Thompkinsville, Staten
Island, with the usual ceremonies, the
band of the flagship New York, play
ing The Star Spangled Banner" in
honor of Uncle Sam and preparatory
to welcoming Ii Hung Chang, the
Grand Old Man" of China, and sta
tesman of many titles, in an appro-
pirate manner.
Shortly after the announcement at
0 o'clock, that the st. Louis was sight
ed east of Fire Island, thrOngs of peo-
pie crossed on ferries or other routes
to all points from which the arrival
and greeting of the distinguished gu
est of the nation could be witnessed
to the best advantage.
1t is doubtful if New York ever pre-
scented a grander sight than it did
this morning, for anchored there in
stately strength. were eleven warships
of the New navy of the United Sta
ties, the embodiment of grace and str
ength. of speed and offensive power.
This gallant fleet consisted of the fol-
lowing vessels:
The Indiana, first-class battleship.
The New York, flagship. first class
armOured cruiser.
The Massachusetts,. first class bat
tle-ship.
The Maine. armOured cruiser.
The Texas. secOnd-slass battle-ship.
The Columbia, first-class cruiser.
The Newark, cruiser.
The Raleigh, cruiser.
The Montgomery, cruiser.
The Amphirite, double turreted

The Terror. double turreted monitor.

as the latter is signalled in the lower

At the American line pier were sta

Church Mortgages and Free Silver.

The news columns of the Pitts
burg Dispatch contained an item a
few days ago that gave the thous-
ands Of Christian people through.
out the land who believe in the
maintenance OF the churches and
the extension of their work some
thing to think about. AS stated in
the item referred to, the American
Baptist Home Mission Society pos
sesses fund which it uses in lend
ing to churches to erect edifices
and to protect existing edifices
from rapacious, secular hands, and
as security for the loans it takes
mortgages on the structures. Some
three months ago the society dis
covered that practically the entire
fund was outstanding. 1t, there
fore, put into operation q rule
which is frequently honored in the
breach, and made a friendly de-
mand for the payment of the mort
cages upon all churches whose
debt had been due for five years.
The amount thus demanded was,
1t is understood, by far the larger
part OF the entire outstanding
fund. The sole motive of the So
ciety was to recover the means to
continue it's particular work in
this field, and not to anticipate
the possible success of the Populist
free silver programme. The So
ciety was speedily aware, how
ever, that such program was in
the field and causing considerable
agitation. Duns were STAYED off
by missives stating that free silver
was making times hard, and, as a
result, the Baptist Home Mission
society's church edif1ce Joan fund
finds itself tied up in mortgages
upon which it can realize only by
the harsh measure of foreclosure.
That measure will be the last re-
sort, however, according to the Off
Gals OF the fund who were inter-
viewed on the subject today.
The feeling of uncertainty is not
confined to the denomination
named, by long shot. The heads
Of the financial departments of all
religious organizations have the
same story to tell. The treasurer
of the board Of church erection of
the Presbyterian church says that
the silver cloud has darkened the
prospects of his department.. He
can not for moment believe that
the country is going on a silver
basis, but the bare thought of
such disaster has caused a fall
ing of in contributions of all sorts
J IS well as the payment of mort
cages and interest due by
congregations who have been
aided. But there Is one ray of
light and hope shining through
this gloom. Nearly all the churches
against which the societies hold
mortgages are in the west. In all
the correspondence with these
churches 1t is revealed that they
are almost unanimously staunch for
sound money. 1t may be that the
Baptists Of the west are exception
ally indoctrinsted with common
honesty, but just inference seems
that at least the mass of Christian
people in the west are imbued with
the gold sentiment, and that the
sentiment there is stronger and
more prevalent than the dust
raised by Populistic kicking has
permitted to be seen.
