LONDON, March 20.-The Rev. DR..

Long before he went on his lecturing
tour to the United States. growIs were
heard from Scotland as to his alleged
unorthodox doctrines and general
worldliness. These mutterings have
almost deepened into a roar since the
publication of his last book, which, in
the opinion of many worthy. if narrow
minded Presbyterians, is distinctly
Unitarian in its teachings, if not DOWN
right heretical

Rev. DR.. Kennedy Moore is the NOV
ing spirit in the proposed inquiry into
DR.. Watson's orthodoxy. He claims
there is heterodox teaching in Mind
and Master" and Beside the Bonnie

communication on the subject, says:
"The petition calls the attention of the
synod to the fact that DR.. Watson has
not repudiated the public charge that
his teaching tends to Unitarianism"

APIA, Samoa, March 13.-Rumors of
war at an early date are again rife.
The latest report is that a simultaneous
attack will be- made on Apia from
both sides of the town. The Govern
ment party evidently attach some inn
portance to the story, as they are
gathering several of their followers to-
gether for the protection of Mulinuu.
1t is alleged that a number of letters
were found at Aana, without signature,
which had evidently been written by
a foreigner or foreigners urging the
rebels to act before the arrival of any
warships. A meeting was to have been
held at Lufilufi on Wednesday, but at

This suit was really a fight between
the Arbuckles, the coffee manufacture

kles started a sugar refinery, and the
sugar trust, in retaliation. bought a
controlling interest in the Woolson
Company, which dealt in coffee, and
then began to slash the price of coffee.

APIA, Samoa, March 13.-From in
formation to hand there is every indi-
cation that a large lumber vessel has
been wrecked not far from Samoa For
the last two or three weeks large guam
titles of heavy lumber have been seen
floating through the straits, and the
natives at Aleipata and Falealili have
picked up lot. The natives also say
that they saw large ships mast, too
large to tow ashore, floating past Apo
lima. Mr.. Allen, of Savaii, informs us
that the lumber appears to have been
in the water seven or eight weeks, as
the worms are just starting to get into
it. On one piece which Mr.. Allen exam
