the broad national spirit that a church
should have is apparent under the In
diana plan, and instead of one great
churches, especially if the state plan of
handling the home missions should be
used in doing the work of the other six
boards of the church. That the leaven
of the plan is at work is shown from
the fact that some of the presbyteries
have already had under consideration
the holding and disposition of the col
lectionS of money for foreign missions
as we'll as home mission duty. The Sc

of the dissatisfaction with the growing

PARIS, Nov 10.-The duel with

by Sir Robert Peel and the Duke
Sir Robert having apologized for Ian
Of the facts in the case. 1t is under
stood that the quarrel was the out
come of an argument over the justifi-
cation Of the imprisonment of Capt.
Dreyfus, of the French army, who is
serving out a sentence of penal i'm
prisonment for selling important mill
try secrets to a foreign government
The duke, who considered himself in
suited by certain letters from Sir Rob
ert Peel, came specially from Geneva
and sent his seconds, including the
famous French amateur sWordsman
NJ. ThomegueX. to call upon Peel.
ThomegeuX recently had a so-called
duel with swords with an Italian anna
teur, Senor Casella, which arose out Of
a dispute as to the starched shirt
which the Count of Turin wore during
his recent duel with Prince Henri, of
Orleans. The representatives of Sir
Robert Peel met the dukes seconds
this evening at the Cercle Artisque ct
Litteracy, well known club in the
Rue Volney, and explained that Sir
Robert had since learned that remarks
he had attributed to the duke had
never been used and that he, therefore,
regretted his letters, which were based
upon misstatements, and rendered a
full apology. The dukes seconds
thereupon declared the matter ended.

probably be adopted.

APPEAL.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Nov 10.-Chairman
Charles A. Towne, of the Silver Re-
publican National committee, issued a
long address to the Silver Republicans
tonight. He makes the charge: The
crisis long expected is at hand. The
policy we denounced when we pro-
claimed that conspiracy had been
formed to capture the Republican par
ty in the interest of the gold standard,
is nearing it's consummation. The VOL
colt commission has confessedly failed
in it's negotiations for an international
agreement for the establishment of BIZ
metallism. That failure, foreseen by
those who drafted the cunning fnan-
cial plank of the st. Louis platform
and forced its adoption, is now used, as
from the first it has been intended to
be used as the preliminary to the def
mite establishment of the gold stand
ard in the United States The wretch
ed farce has been played through. The
humiliating appeal to the gold powers
of Europe that we be graciously per-
mitted to be relieved by them from a
monetary servitude that is wrecking
our producers and destroying our ma
tional independence has been spurned
before the eyes of the wosld. The al

MR.. CHAMBERLAIN IS Much WORRIED.
Failure of His ZolIverein Scheme Followed
by New Dangers.
First Session of the Sealing Conference Held
Behind Closed Doors.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A London
cablegram to the Evening Post says:
In view of the visit of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and Sir Louis Davies to Wash
ington, it is understood that Mr.. Cham
berlain forwarded to Lord Aberdeen
last week important recommendations
on the future trade relations between
Canada and the United States from the
imperial point of view. Though Mr..
Chamberlain has abandoned his Zoll-
Yerein schemes, he would view with
keen disappointment and grave fore
bodings the ultimate effect on the Eng
llsh attitude towards the Dominion, of
Sir Wilfrid Luarier's acceptance of any
such trade agreement with the states
as Mr.. Blaine once proposed, involving
discrimination against England Sir
Wilfrid Laurier himself and Mr.. Field
ing, Canada's minister of finance, who
is now visiting London, have given
definite assurances that Canada never
would consent to such discrimination.
They have not, however, disguised the
fact that If the United States showed
neighborly attitude towards Canada
ON outstanding trade and other ques-
tions, they would go a long way to
meet Washington advances, short of
discrimination. 1t is believed that they
might even go so far as to place Eng
land and the United States on a tariff
equality. This would seem to involve
the abandonment of the policy of a
preferential tariff for British goods
which, though not yet realized, created
extraordinary enthusiasm here. Cana
dian ministers contend, however that
Canada can render no greater service
to the empire than by assisting to re-
store Anglo-American accord.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 10.-The an

Fully 600 persons attended. The most
distinguished guests were: Congress-
man Nelson A. Dingley, of Maine; Con-
gresham Charles a. Russell. of Con-
necticut; Congressman Jonathan P.
Dolliver, of Iowa, and Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge. Senator Hanna sent a
letter of regret, after the reading Of
which three cheers were given for him.
Mr.. Dingley was the principal speak
er. He said: "a great many people
in this country are wiser than they
were five years ago. Some who study
maxims rather than markets, deny
that there has been any restoration Of
confidence of any revival Of business.
Others, who are not entirely blind to
facts, admit the Improvement, but in
sist that it comes in spite Of protec-
ton, from what they call natural
causes Still others, like Bryan, con-
tend that the improvement is only tenn
porary, because of a short crop OF

blue room at the White house. Secre-
tary Sherman introduced Sir Wilfrid,
who was accompanied by Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador: Sir
Louis Davies and Prof. Thompson. the
British seal expert. The visit was en-
tirely formal.
In accordance with an arrangement
made this morning. the experts repre-
senttng the three governments, the
United States, England and Canada,
assembled at the state department
about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. There
were present Messrs. Jordan, Thomp-
son and McCoun. In addition Gen.
Foster and Mr.. Hamlin were in at
tendance for the United States and
Sir Louis Davies for Canada. Sir
Julian Pauncefote sent a note excus-
ing himself from coming on account
Of illness, The meeting lasted for
about an hour, and presumably the
proceedings were mainly preliminary
and designed to outline a plan Of pro-
cedure. Mr.. Hamlin was elected chair
man. 1t was officially stated that the
proceedings were such that nothing
could be said for publication before the
end of the deliberations. Another meet
ing will be held at II o'clock tomorrow
morning. The treaty, which was ne
gotiated last week between the United
States and Japan and Russia for the
further protection Of the seals was not
referred to in today's meeting, al
though its general provisions are
known to the British delegates. The
feature of the treaty is said to be the
short time it is to continue in force,
the limit being one year.

tentative so artfully provided in the
st. Louis platform is now invoked. The
supporters of the British money sys-
tenn now claim warrant for their whole
nefarious programme in the alleged in
dorsement of that declaration by the
Republican voters Of 1896. Steps there
fore are being rapidly taken to put
the plan in operation. The president.
by special message to congress, indors-
es the scheme Of the Indianapolis con-
vention of sound money advocates
which was declared by them to rest
on the fundamental and essential fea-
lures: First, the permanent establish
ment of the gold standard; second, the
retirement of the greenbacks and other
government notes, and third, the in
stitution of a huge banking system
with power to issue and control the
paper money Of the country. Finally.
the national sound money league, at
its semi-annual meeting in New York
yesterday puts the stamp Of it's infal-
libility on the same conclusion"
He then makes an appeal to the
silver Republicans that "the crisis de-
mands their most energetic and conse-
Grated efforts" and exhorts them to
prove their patriotism" by their work
for the white metal party.
