AT a largely attended meeting of the
members of Davenport church last
evening it was voted to call Rev.

the church. The committee of supply
will wait upon Rev. Mr.. Prentiss and
formally extend the call to him. He
is at present pastor of the First Con-
gregational church in Winsted, where
he has been for four years.
He preached in Davenport church in
September, when he made 81 most ia
vorable impression. Rev. Mr.. Prentiss
is thirty-nine years old, graduate of
Amherst college Of the class of 1884,
and Of the Yale divinity school of the

young man himself, he possesses the
quality of making friends of the young,

MIR. CINNON'S VIEWS.
WIN Try to Hold Appropriations Down to
Existing Conditions.

Washington, Nov. 0.-Representative
Cannon, of the committee on appro-
priations arrived here to-day. He said
that his policy for the approaching ses-
sion of congress as chairman of the
house committee would be to hold the
appropriations, so far as he could con-
troll them, down to existing conditions.
L believe in liberal, but not an
eXtravagant policy in making appro-
priations," he said, ''and until, our rev.
enues increase shall oppose entering
upon new enterprises requiring the ex-
penditure of government funds
Mr.. Cannon stated his belief to be that
the coming session would be compar-
atively brief one. I'VE should be away
from here by the first of June" he
said. Indeed, there is very little for
us to do beyond passing the appropria-
tion bills. 1t is needless for us to at
tempt to secure currency legislation,
because of the impossibility Of getting
anything through the senate. So long
as the senate is anti-republican all eff
forts to get currency reform legislation
will be so much waste of time and en-
ergy."

BEST TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Officers Make False Reports on It's Finan-
cial Condition and Are Indicted.

Baltimore, Nov. S0.-The grand jury
found presentments against f. B. Hub
bell, w. J. Atkinson and James Russell
president, secretary and treasurer of
the Best Telephone company of this
city, charging them with having made
false reports of the financial condition
of the concern with intent to deceive.
The prosecuting witnesses are all mem
bers of the Baltimore stock exchange.
According to the story told before the
grand jury, Atkinson caused to be
made to the stock exchange a sworn
statement, signed by President Hub
bell and Treasurer Russell of the Best
Telephone company, that the corpora
tion had assets of about $2 500, 900. This
was done for the purpose of inducing
the exchange to list the companys
stock. The exchange refused to list the
stock, the creditors of the company be-
came pressing and Mr. Atkinson had
the concern placed in the hands of re-
ceivers. The receivers found that the
assets of the company were worth not
more than $4,000 instead Of $2 500, 900.
Atkinson is now in Chicago.

WEELINGTON'S LIBEL SUIT.
An Indictment Found for the Senator
Against General Agnus.

Baltimore, Nov. 3O.-United States
morning filed a presentment against
General Felix Agnus, charging criminal
libel, and it is understood that civil
suits will follow. General Agnus is the
publisher of the Baltimore American,
and the action is the outcome of an
editorial published in that newspaper
on Friday last in, which an editorial
from the Washington Post is cited and
pronounced Senator Wellington in fu1t
thering the candidacy Of Governor
Lowndes to succeed United States SEN
ator German, sought to influence the
members of the legislature by means of
the public offices within the gift Of the
chief executive of the state.
Senator Wellington went before the
grand jury later, bearing with him a
copy of The American, containing the
article complained of, which was pub
lished under the heading: "The Dis
grace of Wellington" There were no
other witnesses and after his with
drawal the grand jury devoted twenty
minutes to a discussion of the case, at
the end Of which time an indictment
was found. General Agnus promptly
furnished bail in the sum of $1,000.
There was no arrest He said in refer
ence to the suit: This is libel suit No.
SO against The American, of which we
have only lost three and we only suf-
fered nominal penalties in them. We
will meet this suit, as we have met all
others, and my attorneys will be in
structed to push it. In my opinion it
is merely an attempt to muzzle the
press in view of the coming contest for

STATESMEN RATHER SLOW
SCARCELY HALE DOZEN ARRIYALS
FOR REGULAR SESSION.
Neither Speaker Reed Nor Mr.. Dingley
VIII Reach Washington Until Saturday
Sunday-In Matter of Currency, 1t
Seems Already Established, That Demo-
Gratis Will Oppose Majority.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Members of
congress are rather slow in putting in
their appearance here for the regular
session which convenes next Monday.
Up to this time there have been scarce
ly more than a half dozen arrivals each
day. From now on, however it is ex-
pected that the rush will begin and
that very full attendance will be in
their places on the opening day. Few
of the leaders of either house are yet
here.
This is especially true Of the house
of representatives. Neither Speaker
Reed nor Mr.. Dingley will reach Wash
ington until Saturday or Sunday With
the exception of the pronounced and
radical pro and anti-Cuba congressman,
the members of both houses, as a rule,
seem to be holding their judgment in
allegiance until they ascertain from Off
cial sources exactly what the situation
is as to Cuba.
In the matter of currency, it seems
and their free silver allies will oppose
stubbornly anything the majority is
likely to propose, and the fact that the
opposition in the senate seems insur-
mountable inclines many of the repub
lican members of the house to the opin-
ion that it would be wisdom not to
attempt any legislation whatever. Mr.
Hepburn of Iowa, who is one of these,
says that if the president should recon-
mend any scheme for the retirement of
greenbacks it would be beyond the re-
publican platform and every republican
would be free to support or oppose it,
as his judgment indicated.
There is some talk of a republican
caucus on this question, many of the
members believing that if a currency
MEASURE is to be passed differences
could be most easily adjusted and con-
certed action secured in this way. Mr.
Walker of Massachusetts, chairman of
the committee on banking and cur
rency some time ago sent a letter to
every member of his committee, urging
the Importance of currency legislation
and asking each member to be prepared
as soon after the opening ofthe session
as possible to work to the end that
some measure may be submitted to the
house for action. Mr.. Hepburn, chair
man of the committee on Interstate
civil commerce commission, says the
commercial bodies are urging action
upon the scalping and pooling bills and
he expects these questions to receive
early attention.

alone; but, confident that my husbands S
honor will emerge intact, I forgive and
