A SUNDAY SCHOOL ARMY.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Rev. DR..
Worden has begun movement to cele-
brate the opening of the twentieth CEN
fury. His idea is to recruit the Sun
day school army of the Presbyterian
church so that instead of one million
members, as at present, it will consist
of about 100000. He wants this
work of enlisting the half million of re-
Inducements completed by April /,
1891, the beginning of the church year
in the first year of the next century.
He has worked out an elaborate plan,
and has urged the prosecution of a
vigorous campaign throughout the
United States for the next few years.
In a circular he has sent out he says:
1--WE now have about one million
Sabbath school scholars in the Pres
byterian church. The proposition is tC
add about 100000 to this and begin oul
ecclesiastical year April l, 1899 with g
million and a half scholars.
This means an increase of twelve
and half per cent of additional mem
bers to be brought in each year, oil
125, 900 members each year for the en-
tire church. 1t is believed that thes,
calculations and figures are moderat,
and that it is possible for Sabbath
school workers to gather the five hun
dred additional members by April
1891

representative DOlliver. On The
Currency Question Foreclosure
Papers Against Railroads.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2T.-(Spec-
iaD-No president for years has paid
more attention to the Difference to the
opinions of members of his party than
Maj. Mckinley does, and no president
has ever taken more pains to ascertain
the opinions of his callers upon public
matters. While there is no question
of public importance upon which Pres
ident Mckinley has not a we'll defined
opinion of his own, he invites the free
est expressions of the opinions of
others and is not so self opinionated
as not to be sometimes convinced that
his own ideas are erroneous. Just
now he takes every opportunity of
drawing out the opinions of his callers
on matters of which his annual mes
sage to Congress will treat. While his
message, which will be long one,
has been all blocked out, what he hears
now and whein the final revising is
done may make material difference in
portions of it.
II there isn't any arbitration treaty
States before the adjournment of the
session of Congress, it will not be the
fault of President Mckinley, as he in
tends to send a new treaty to the Sen
ate early in the session, drawn to meet
the expressed objections to the one
that was rejected by the Senate at the
last session.
Representative Dolliver, of Iowa,
whose prominence in Republican coun-
ellis makes his opinions upon legislative
matters of value, passed through
Washington on his way home, from ar
eastern trip. In reply to the question
as to whether he thought currency leg
lation probable at this session of Con-
gress, he said: II doubt il bill can
be framed that will meet with the APP
prevail of both houses of Congress. 1t
is not unlikely, however, that the house
will take UP legislation in line with the
recommendations of the presidents
message. These, take it, will be
reasonable and conservative, and
strictly along the line of the record
and platform of the Republican party"
Mr.. Dolliver says he thinks the early
annexation of Hawaii absolutely GER
tain and regards that and the early
settlement of the Union Pacific rail-
road debt is among the administra-
tons most creditable work. His opin-
ion of Congress taking the Cuban
question up, as advocated by Demo-
Gratis and administration, is wor-
thy of more than a passing thought.
He said that If the combined wisdom
of the Executive and the State depart
ments is not equal to solving the Cuban
problem, / do not believe it would help
matters to throw it into Congression-
al joint debate"
Attorney General McKenna is pre-
pairing the papers that will be neces-
sary in foreclosure proceedings against

Nothing Known is New York of Re-
ported Detroit Movement
New York, Nov. 27,--Inquiries among
people in this city interested in the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company and the New York Telephone
company failed to develop any confirm
alton, according to the Times, of the
report credited to President William L.
Holmes, of the new Detroit, Mich, tele-
phone company to the effect that a
party of capitalists who are about to
organize an independent telephone
company in Greater New York, are ne
gotiating for the use of the Detroit APP
paratus for the New York exchange.
Walter p. Davis, a director of the
New York Telephone company
and Albert Merrick also a direc-
tor of that concern and general super
intendent of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, southern division, and
Edward ]. Hall, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, all said
that they heard nothing of the report.
The Detroit apparatus referred to in
the dispatch includes modification of
a switch board in common use. Thos.
Eckert, a son of William H. Eckert,
who has paid considerable attention to
telephone matters and has examined
the apparatus, said that is was invent
ed by Thomas A. Hearne, superintend-
ent of the Detroit Telephone company,
of which Mr.. w. Holmes is president.
They have heard nothing Of the pro-
iect. Mr.. Eckert said: II hear stories
Of another new company. AS to the
number of instruments to be used, fifty
thousand would not seem excessive for
this state. The Bell company reckon
ed on putting in an instrument for ev-
cry one hundred persons in commun-
ity."
The Bell people, he said, haze about
Is, 900 instruments in this city.
There are several opposition COM
panies in this state and New Jersey
that do a successful business said
Mr.. Eckert.
He also intimated that the report in
question might have arisen from pro
jects fostered by one OF the smaller
companies.

VENEZUELA IS AT PEACE.

New York, Nov. 27.-The following
note from the legation of the United
States at Caracas, has ben received in
this city:
ITO whom it may concern:-The gov
eminent of Venezuela seems to be Wen
and firmly established. A condition OF
quiet and peace has obtained for
several years and there is no reason
to fear revolutionary disturbance of
any sort os far as can see. The ex-
element attending the elections has
passed away and business conditions
seem to be improving somewhat.

The conclusion of the members of the
Executive committee of the Indianapo-
lis financial convention of last winter,
which has been holding a monetary
conference in Washington for some

public until after President Mckinley S

report have been submitted to Con-

dorsed by President Mckinley. In {
statement just issued by this commit
tee, much more confidence is expressed
in the passing of financial legislation b!

President Mckinley doesn't believ

WARNING FROM ALASKA.
A Word Spoken in Season for the Gold
Seekers.

Seekers.
Kokomo, Ind, Nov. 27.-John Ackley,
of Alaska, who was raised in this vi
cinity, has written letter to the
Union Dispatch of this place that he
wishes all his friends and others inter-
ested to read and profit by. The letter,
under date of November from Sitka
is full of interest. He says:
Before determining to come to AL
aska to seek for gold consider well the
dark side. The country is mountain
Gus, immense glaciers fill most of the
valleys, most all the streams have swift
currents, large part of the surface is
covered with moss, which thaws but lit
tie more than month during the year.
The country affords no food The
means of transportation are slow and
costly. Remember that the mosquito
comes to full development in north lat
itudes.
"A man needs experience 90 be sue
cessful in mining. My advice to the
man who has made up his mind to come
to Alaska, is bring years supply and
if he is not experienced in mining, to
work for wages the first year. He is
then in school and will receive wages
enough to save goodly sum. When
the next strike is reported he will be
able to buy his outfit and secure claim
for himself. II is not worth while TO
try this venture unless you can give it
from three to five years. 1t is best for
men to come in small parties-not over
four together Parties coming in the
spring should arrive in Juneau with
nothing but cash and buy their outfits
there. The stores are now well sup
piled and everything necessary can be
bought there cheaper than to bring II.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Tribune
says:
Chauncy NJ. Depew, in an interview
asserts that the report of the operation
of the Vanderbilt mines along the line
of the Chesapeake C Ohio have been
exaggerated. The reports say the Van
derbilt interests are building line
from Charleston to Grafton, which
would give them an opening both east
and West. There was no intention to
mine coal on a tremendous scale and in
fact there was little inducement in ex-
tending the road for this business.
