SERMON BY PHONE.
Interesting Experience of the Mem
bers of the New York Coast
Guard on Sunday Last.

bers of the New York Coast
Guard on Sunday Last.
New York. March 1.-The members
of the coast guard along the Jersey
shore enjoyed a double novelty yester-
day. They attended divine services,
and that without leaving their stations.
And each station heard the same ser
mon.
Mr.. Shermer had long wished to
reach the life savers and last week he
thought out a plan. He knew that
every two of the life saving stations
were connected by telephone, and that
messages were transmitted all along
the coast, being repeated at every other
station.
The clergyman communicated his
Project to Keeper Ludlam of the Stone
Harbor station, who said the idea was
feasible in a way-that was, the ser
mon could be repeated from every
other station, but there was no way,
just now, of making direct connection
all the way through.
The matter was explained to the life
savers, who entered into the spirit OF
it and agreed to send the sermon
along. both uD and down the coast.
Accordingly, Mr.. Shermer and his dea-
cons went to Stone Harbor yesterday
and the plan was put into successful
opera tion. AT the first repeating sta
ton, either way, a guard stood at the
telephone and received the sermon by
sentences. He repeated what was said
by Mr. Shermer aloud to his fellows.
One of them, standing at another tele-
phone took up his discourse and passed
it along to the next little crowd of
listeners, and thus several hundred
men heard the preachers words

JACKsoN's IDEA.
Colored Man of the Opinion Corbettt

New York, March Peter Jackson
is evidently nettled over the reports
prevailing in this country as to his
physical condition. In letter to Jack
Nail from Dudley, England, he writes
as follows:

MAY GET A BELT.
Representative Dempsey is Quite an
Enthusiast

Carson, New, March lit is reported
on good authority that Assemblyman
Timothy Dempsey, who was one of the
most ardent supporters of the boxing
bill, is going to introduce a bill in the
state legislature, now in session, with
in the next few days, asking for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the purpose
of having made a gorgeous belt of sill
yer, with diamond studding, to- be pre-
sented to either Corbett or FitZsim-
mons, whichever chances to be winner
of the great battle. The bill is being
drawn up at the present time, and IL
provides that the secretary of state
shall deliver the belt on the 18th of
March, along with a certificate and
affidavit notifying the world of the
significance of the trophy. 1t is in
tended to have on the belt reproduce
ton of the official seal of Nevada and

ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA.
It Was Thoroughly Ventilated in the
House OF Commons Yesterday.


London, March LIN the house of COM
mons today Sir Charles Wentworth Dixie
asked the government whether they had
any information that the kind of Korea
is under the protection of Russia: that
the Korean military is being drilled by
Russian officers. and whether in the
opinion of the government the action OF
Russia in Korea is consistent with the
pledge given by that power when England
abandoned Port Hamilton
Mr.. George \. CurZon, under secretary
for foreign affairs, said in reply that it
was true that some Korean troops were
being instructed by Russian officers. The
king of Korea, he added, left the Rus
sian legation on February 20, and re-
turned TO the palace. Nothing was hap
pening. Mr. Curzon said. that could be
regarded as being al variance with the
guarantee given by Russia in 1886. that
she would not take possession of any
Korean territory. Mr.. CurZon made a
statement TO the house in regard to the
situation in Crete in which he said that
instructions mad been given 10 the Cd
miral commanding the British WarShips
in Cretan waters 10 prevent, as far as
possible, any acts OF aggreSSlVeneSS on
the present combatants in the island. In
line with these instructions. he said the
admirals commanding the several squad
rons had issued proclamation declaring
their purpose to oppose any hostile acts
on the present Greeks. Turks or Cretans
by the presence of warships at any point
where disturbances may occur. In regard
to Selino, Mr.. Curzon said the situation
was critical. and four warships had been
sent TO the relief of the heleagured gar
risons and to facilitate the departure of
refugees. Mr.. Curzon added that Colonel
Vassos. commanding the Greek army of
occupation, had promised to send an Off
Ger to induce the insurgents TO allow the
departure of the blockaded Turkish
troops, and dispatch just received from
Canea announced that the officer had al
ready been sent by the Greek commander
Mr.. Patrick O'Brien, Nationalist, asked
the government whether they commune
Gated with the United States or any
European power concerning the disturbed
state of Cuba, and asked for information
whether the governmey. would use their |
good offices with a view of securing the |
freedom of that island.
Mr.. CurZon replied that the government !
had had no communication with the |
United States or any other power con- ]
cerning Cuba, and he was not aware /
that there was any intention on the part /
of Great Britain to use her good offices |
