ST. PATRICK A PROTESTANT.
That Is the Bold Assertion of Con-
grcgatiOnal Preacher.

WILLIAMSBURG, n. Y, March H-Rev
William T. McElveen, pastor of the New
England Congregational Church, will
spend part of March IL trying to convince
those who will listen to him that not only
was ST. Patrick not an Irishman but that
he was a Protestant. The New England
Congregational Church is one of the most
prominent churches in Williamsburg.
When DIR. McElveen announced that he
would celebrate March IL by delivering a
lecture on St. Patrick it caused consider
able comment 1t was a new subject for a
Congregational minister to discuss. Small
cards announcing that the lecture would be
delivered have been circulated about
BROOKLYN during the last week The cards
green, despite the doubt which exists
i'm Dr. McElveen's mind as TO whether st.
Patrick was born in France or Scotland.
DIR. McElveen has some very original
ideas, and he does not hesitate to express
them. He is still young man. He is one
of the officers of the Society for the Sup Sup
not think it strange for Protestants TO cele-
brate March II.
"St. Patrick" says DIR. McElveen, be
longs not TO any particular sect or race,
but TO humanity. In the first place, 81.
Patrick was not an Irishman He was
not born in Ireland. but d.ed there; Ninety
nine persons out of one hundred believe
ST Patrick was born March IL. That is a
mistake, for that is the anniversary of his
death. Some historians say st. Patrick
was a Scotchman while others assert that
he was a. Frenchman. All agree that Ire
land was not his birthplace.
'In the. second place" continued the
doctor. there is much doubt about ST.
Patrick's Catholicism. The sect he built
up in Ireland. many historians say. was a
sort of semi-Protestanism In any case.
St Patrick was an eloquent preacher. an
energetic missionary and earnest
apostle of pure faith. His life and work,
and that OF the church of the fifth CEN
turY ought TO be better Known

blockade story Confirmed.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Daily Chronicle
announces that a formal ultimatum has
been delivered tc Greece announcing that
the blockade of Crete and of certain Greek
ports, not yet named, will begin on
Wednesday. Some of the powers have de-
cided that unless Greece yields or if she
declares war on Turkey measures still
more severe will be employed, even to the
point of utterly destroying Greece as a ma
tion. The Chronicles Athens correspondent
gives an accounSof an interview he has
had with Commodore Reneck who quotes
from numerous official documents to dis
prove the charge of perfidy brought against
him. Commodore Reineck denies that he
withheld any warning or message OF the
powers from the insurgents and declares
that the allegations to that effect have been
made i'm order to shield the admirals from
the ridicule with which they have covered
themselves.
The correspondent of the London Times
at Canea says: THE official assurance of
autonomy has been received at last, but in
terms SO vague that the insurgent chiefs
place no reliance upon ii, nor will they be-
iieve Ii possible until the Turkish garrison
is replaced by European troops"
The London Times correspondent at st.
Petersburg says that the formal adhesion
of Great Britain to the blockade programme
was impaired to Russia on Friday. The
English, Russian. German and Austrian
armies have already been instructed as TO
a blockade of Crete and Greece.

NO NEWS OF THE PURITAN.
Navy Department Finds Excuses for
the Columbia Sent to Rescue.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-No news of
the United States steamer Columbia and
Puritan was received by the Navy Depart
ment to-day, but notwithstanding alarm
ing rumors as to the safety of the big mon
itor Puritan, the officials OF the Navy De-
partment are under no apprehension as to
the safety of either the monitor or her
convoy. 1t is said that the orders given to
Captain Sands, of the Columbia, when he
left Hampton Roads TO so To- the relief Of
the disabled Puritan, were elastic and he
may exercise his discretion In shaping his
course. The Puritan is almost as big as
the Columbia and the latter could not tow
her very fast. Under the most favorable
conditions at sea. five TO six knots would
be as much speed as could be expected, and
provided all went well and there were no
broken towing bits or hawsers such as
might be expected TO result from such an
unwieldy toy, the vessels could not have
reached Hampton Roads before yesterday
afternoon. Not hearing from them at that
cluded that CAPTAIN Sands had gone on di-
rectly TO New York, which was TO be the
ultimate destination or the Puritan, as she

that the vessels have not been spoken by
some ships coming in at Hampton Roads,
for it Is the practice OF naval commanders
TO keep out to sea much further than mer-
chant ships coming up the south Atlantic
coast and so they would not be sighted.

The Greeks Weakening.

LONDON, March l.-That Greece seems
to realize the unwillingness of the powers
to give way is outlined in rumored pro-
posals and suggestions reaching London
to-day from Athens. 1t is stated that a
member of the Greek government declared
this morning that Greece would accept for
Crete a regime similar to that in Bosnia,
which would leave inviolate the principle
of remuneration while maintaining the in
tegrity of the Ottoman empire and il is
said he suggested that France should take
the initiative In proposing this solution, re-
marking: Unless France does this she will
have to watch carefully the action of Great
Britain which is preparing to land a con-
siderable force in Crete. AZ is to the inter-
est of France to make friendly advances
TO Greece whose support would give her
naval supremacy in the Adriatic and the
Mediterranean"
