suited in indications of blood poisoning

and shortly before poon yesterday the
member was removed at the shoulder.

UNITED STATES SHIPPING.

Lewis Nixon, manager of the Crcs-
cent ship yard at Elizabethport, n. j.,
in a paper published in the January
number of the Engineering Magazine,
said:
The total value of all the vessels of
the United States, including those be-
longing to the Government, is about
$300,000,00 More than one ship yard
in the United States could be named
that is amply capable of meeting the
whole probable commercial demand
for new ships for the next ten years
under existing conditions, so far as
sea-going ships of, say, 1000 tons
register and upwards are concerned
exclusive. of course, of the lakes"

AN EXCEPTION WITH HIM.
Sherman Opposed to Territorial Ac-
QUESTION. but Favors Hawaii.

Secretary John Sherman talked to
a st. Louis Globe correspondent as
follows on the Hawaiian annexation
propositions:
81 am unalterably opposed to the
acquisition of any more territory by
the United States" Secretary Sher-
man said tonight. 81 have been OPP.
posed to it, and still hold the views
| have hitherto expressed"
This was diplomatic day at the
State Department. Many of the legl-
ton people called. The Secretary re-
usual freedom. Naturally, the TTa-
waian treaty of annexation was
brought up, and questions were asked.
The general subject of annexation
came up. Mr.. Sherman's views upon
it are well known, and he never hest
tates to express himself when occa-
sion calls. He told the diplomats he
was just as much an anti-anneXation-
list as he had ever been. The diplo-
mats went forth from the chamber
and spread the story that the treaty
for the annexation of Hawaii had been
negotiated in opposition to the Secre-
tary, and that he did not believe it
was good policy. As the story travel
ed it grew. One addition was that
Mr.. Sherman said he hoped the treaty
would be defeated in the Senate. An
other quoted him as having said it
was a humiliation to him to have to
sign such a treaty.
When these things were repeated
to Mr. Sherman tonight he good-na-
turedly began as quoted at the begin
ming.
81 can not remember all that l told
the diplomatic people, but probably
I expressed myself in that way. and
they made application of it to the Ha-
waiian matter. I was opposed to the
annexation of Hawaii. but I am not
now. Circumstances have arisen
which make it seem wise to annex
Hawaii. 7 am unalterably opposed to
the annexation of any other territory
but Hawaii"
\ question was asked as to the cir
cumstances which prompted him -
make an exception in favor of Ha-
waiian annexation.
''It is not necessary to say anything
about them" he replied.
The Secretary's attention was direct
ed to a report in circulation this even
ing that he was going to resign be-
cause of the departure from his policy
of anti-anneXation.
81 have been denying that all the
evening, he replied.
The alleged polls of the Senate on
the Hawaiian treaty are mere guess
work. 1t is impossible for them to
have any reliability, from the fact that
fully one-third of the Senators refuse
to give an opinion one way or the
other, stating that the question is one
of the very highest Importance to the
United States, marking as it does a
departure from our long-maintained
policy against the establishment of
colonies, and that, therefore, they 10
not feel like expressing themselves on
the matter until after they have con-
sidered it carefully in all its bearings.

lieve in prayers for the dead must believe
in purgatory. But the Episcopal Church.
in its authoritative teachings, condemns
the belief in purgatory. since. in Article
xxi. of it's Articles of Religion, it is
declared that: The Romish doctrine con-
corning purgatory is fond
thing. vainly invented and grounded on
no warranty of Scripture, but rather re-
pugnant to the Word of Cod
According TO the Ritualists. this formal
declaration of the Episcopal Church must
be in error, a false doctrine. Their illog
icalness consists in their continuing to
adhere TO the Church which, from the be-
ginning of it's existence. has formally and
authoritatively taught a doctrine that
they must believe to be false Their atti-
tude compels them to believe that in d.
vine things they are wiser than their
Church. better authority in those things
than their Church is. They place their
private judgment above the official judg
ment of their Church. In this they reject
the Catholic principle of authority and
acknowledge no criterion of revealed
truth but private Judgment. While in
this attitude they are inconsistent in
calling themselves Catholics, which they
are so fond of doing. And while they
hold a doctrine condemned by their
Church. they should not call themselves
Episcopalians or Anglicans.
