DR.. JOHHSTOA'5 DENIAL
Defends Himself Against the
Charge OF Sensationalism.
QUOTES FROM HIS SERMON
Asserting Tint He Has Been Mis-
quoted. He Refers TO the Manu-
script-Says That He Did MI
Preach at President Mckinl ~
and Does Not Court Notoriety.

Rev Dr. Hugh Johnston, pastor of Metro
poitan Methodist Episcopal Church, &c
feuded himself Vigorously against tie
charge OF sensationaiism in talk with
a Times reporter last night. 10 begin
with, DR.. Johnston said that he had been
grieved by what lie called grave misrep-
reservations of his sermons, his motives
and himself
Nov, wilatisa sensational preacher -
aueried Dr. Johnston Il take tIim to oe
a man who pleads for nOtoriety, usually
through the press; at any rate, he is a
man who by his utterauces in the pulpit
creates sensations Now 1 believe In It
the only sensation which has been created
in regard to my pulpit utterances has '',en
caused ty those people WHO have reported
them unfairly and inaccurately.
What have recently said iii the pulpit
i have said many times before, and it was
never unti'las 81 Thanksgiving Daytha W hat
said appeared TO create anything of
sensation There has b.en suggestion that
| was talking at President Mckinley. That
is untrue. President Mckinley comes TO the
Metropulitau Church to worship God, and
preach God's word from the pulpit of that
church a. my duty teaches Inc TO do.

Changing the subject, DR.. Johnsto said:

of the Sabbath. The sermon in which
treatedof Sabbath breaking was the fourth
in a series of tliseourses on The Nature
of Law i said that the Sabbath is
coeval with creation. 1t began with crea-
tion, and it would endure to the end of
creation. It was the Sabbath which
alone accounted for the division OF time
into periods OF seven days.
This law was reaffirmed by Jesus
Christ, who said that the Sabbath was
made for man. The Sabbath day grew
grander by the increase in. its significance.
The Sc bhstli was a divine arrangement
for our physical as well as spiritual wei
fare. We could not get away from the
law of the se~eiis- The Christian Sa bbath
is not Jewish sabbath, nor necessarily Y
puritanieal Sabbath, but in my last
sermon quoted Senator Lodge, who ctgn-

TWO WANT LAW MODIFIED
Cabinet Discusses Civil Service Re-
form at Length.
Mr. Wilson Asks Numerous ExemII-
tions, and MIR Gage Il Few-Other
Secretaries Ask Nothing.

At the Cabinet meeting yesterday civil
service reform was very much III evidence,
and it was the subject of long discussion.
The resolutions OF Senator Cullom, nitro
duce6 in the Senate last week, formed the
basis fol- the talk. The resolution requests
the different Cabinet officers to make
known what positions in their respective
departments should he exempted from the
operation of the civil service law.
The only member of the Cabinet who had
serio IS fault to find with the law was
Secretary Wilson, who said that he would
like To see it 50 modified as to create
nuniarcuseX einptionsinhi department. The
other members OF the Cabinet. with the
exception of Secretary Gage, declared that
they waited no change in the law Mr.
Gage suggested merely Il few exemptions
Each oi7the members of the Ca binet will
send to the Senate a reply to Senator
when the holila yrecess
is over, and it is believed that these let
ters will treat exhaustively of the subject.
There is reason for believing that the
President will at an early date issue an
order removing from the classified sery
ice a few positions, but from what trans
pired L the c; binet session yesterday, anti
civil service Ieformers need not expect
any sv eeping order. The number oil eX
enpt.ons will be very few.
During the meeting yesterday the car
rency question was briefly referred
to, and in this connection also Senator
Wolcottis reported assertion that by In
dorsing Secretary Cages financial scheme
for the strene thening of the gold standard
the President w s practically breaking faith
with Senator Wolcott and the bi-inetallio

Gen. iatrheler was the first representa-
tive OF the United States to tins court and
he served there from the time Of its
rountictIun in 1875 to 1895 He was
twice its president. Gen Batcheller ;aid
last night:
The origin and tue reason for this in
ternat:onal tribunal in Egypt is peculiar
and is, perhaps, little understood There
are 10000 Greeks possibly as many
Frenchmen great number Of Italians
and Englishmen, and almost every jtller
nationality of the civilized world living
in Egypt, The country is under she Muham-
medaL laws, which are dissimilar to those
of Christian countries in almost every
possible way. The immense business inter

the SueZ canal opened, are between all of
these nationalities Transactions involyiac,
nillIorS between Egypt AMI foreign coun-
tries. ard between the foreigners tlem-
selves, take place every day This mix Ell
court has jurisdiction over all these cases,
but only in which the different parties
are o. different nationalities IL takes
the place oil very large scale of tie
consular courts in other countries, because
the business in Egypt is so great .hat the
consuls could not take care of it, every
country is repres ented by a Judge on the
mixed court benches"
Gen Batcheller is particularly well Hka ed
