Bishop Becker Interviewed.

A Savannah (ia.) dispatch says: Bishop
Thomas A, Becker, of the Savannah Dio.
cese, consented to be interviewed Saturday
with regard to q sensational statement
purporting to have been sent out from
Washington to the REPUBLICAN, stating
that according TO an appeal which had
been received by Archbishop Martineli,
from the secular clergy Of the Diocese OF
Georgia, thUre il widespread revolt
against the ecclesiastical policy of the
Bishop.
1t speaks of his having brought Rev. B,
j. Kelley from Delaware and making him
Vlcar-general in Atlanta, when there
was already one in the diocese; charges
MN with having removed Father ochlenke
from his charge at Columbus, and dis.
cussod the recent changes in Atlanta.
Bishop Becker said;
j, key. Is. }. Kelley accompanied me to
this diocese at the instance Of Cardinal
Simeon at the time. His position in vii.
mlngton was much better than he could
possibly get in tho South, but he came
voluntarily. As TO Father Schlenke he
came to Savannah of his own aGCOrd. lie
never appealed to Cardinal SaLolll and
was sent back to Columbus wholly by my
SELF There was perfect harmony in this
matter and no complaint
Ihe division in Atlanta was made abb
soIuteiY necessary by the declining health
OF the incumbenJ. 1t was arranged that
he should hayo q suitable support par.
TALLY from his former very small parish |
and partially from tho diocese. As to |
North Georgia, the incumbent having |
complained that his whole income was |
less than $500 he was, for this reason and |
because Of his inability by reason of de- |
clining health, placed in ST. Patrick's |
Church, in Augusta, where his duties are |
light and his salary certain.
Bishop Gross had already given Augusta
TO the Jesuits. Concerning the giving Of |
Macon to tho Jesuits, it should be known
that the old college called Pronono was
covered with mortgages and
had TO bo sold. The Jesuits with permis.
sion from Rome, bought and paid for the
college and have attended to the church in
Macon most nobly ever since. In the
same manner, with permission from Rome
the othor steps were taken.
"Brunswick was without q resident pas
tor, and 1t does seem as II the people had
some rights which 5he clergy are bound to
respect. The failure of vocations may be
accounted for because of the poor example
'hown by self. seeking clergy"

A Defense of yarszawiak.

New York, June 22.-Rev Charles F.
Iaylor, who was formerly Presby-
terian minister in this city, but who
is now living in Cranbury N. j., sent
out statement last night concerning
the case of Herman Warszawiak, the
Christianized Hebrew who was de-
clared guilty of gambling by the ses-
sion of the Fifth Avenue church. He
declares that the public has been
grossly deceived ON the statements
made that there was overwhelming
evidence against the accused. He de-
clares that out of II witnesses in the
case, only two, and those hired detec-
tives, swore to seeing Warszawiak at
the alleged gambling place, and that
testimony in his favor was suppressed,

RAPID PROGRESS ON THE TARIFF
A Feeling That the End Is Now Not
Far OF.


Washington June 20. The senate
made giant strides on the tariff bill
yesterday, covering Sc pages and es-
tablishing record for progress during
this tariff debate. The last two sched-
ules of the dutiable list, covering paper
and manufacturers' sundrles, were
completed with the exception of para.
graphs on hides, gloves. coal and some
lesser articles. This advanced the sen.
ate to the free list, which was taken
up at 2 D. m. and completed in three
hours. Early in the day the wool and
silk schedules went over, with an
agreement that wool would be taken
UP today, After that the tobacco
schedule, the reciprocity provisions and
the Internal revenue portions of the
bill, as well as the many Isolated par.
agraphs passed over, remain to be
considered. The progress yesterday
was so marked, however, that for the
first time there was a feeling that the
end was not far off.
There was little debate the main
topics of discussion being matches and
fuses. On the latter item an amend
ment by Mr.. Pettigrew reducing the
rate to 10 per cent came within one
vote of passing, against the protest
of the finance committee, the vote be-
ing a tie, "a to a. While the free list
was under consideration Mr.. Bacon, OF
Georgia, gave notice of an amendment
placing cotton ties on the free list, and
Mr.. McLaurin, of South Carolina, gave
notice of another amendment taking
raw cotton from the free list, thus
completing the action heretofore taken
of placing duty of 20 per cent on
cotton.

down last night and about $500 men
are out of employment because of a
dispute over a reduction in wages.
When the mill resumed work three
weeks ago, after an idleness of few
weeks, notice was posted that there
would be an average wage reduction
of about IL per cent. among the tom
mage men. Saturday was pay day,
and when the hands received their en-
velopes they found that the cut had
been from 20 to so per cent. The de-
crease was so sweeping that many of
the 1900 non-time men affected by it
Gid not go to work yesterday, and the
mill had to close down for want of
employees.

STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
Efforts to Work a Reaction Again
Prove Abortiye.

New York. June g.-The efforts of tho
professional traders to work reaction
in the bull stock market have again
proved abortive today and the result Of
the days trading shows net gains in tho
majority of TIE standard shares. The re-
cent order of things was somewhat re-
versed. in that the sagging tendency OF
prices came early in the day. and II was
overcome later by the rally. Perhaps
the most ominous circumstances of tho
days market was the fact that the deal
ings sank into a condition Of almost to-
tai apathy, with prices tending upward.
Dullness on a decline is the technical
evidence of undertohe of strength. Dull.
ness on rise is the evidence that prices
have reached stage where dealers do
not care to put money into them as spec
ulation. There was. however, no pres
