ton, who has been in Lon
don for a month, and will
sail for New York by the
Teutonic tomorrow, said to-
day: GAS a silver man, I
can say 1t is certain that no
scheme of currency which
dlseriminates against silver.
as all the plans favored by
Gage do, can pass the SEN
ate, and nothing the senate
would adopt could pass the
house of representatives. I
feel sure, therefore, that
there will be no currency
legislation by this congress.
AS to what the Republicans
will do under the circum-
stances, I hardly feel COM
petent to express an opin-
len. AS a rule, however, 1
think they recognize the
fact that they are powerless
to accomplish anything
practical under conditions
as they exist, and this being
the case, I think, the de-
cision of the leaders Of the
party is almost certain to
be against an attempt that
must result in utter fail
ure."
Mr.. Turner strongly ia
vors the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the
United States. On the sub
ject OF arbitration he said:

ment in England in favor Of

-Four VieUs Of the Coming Session Of Congress-

'IETASH1NGTON. Nov. 30.
W. Representative Can
HE non, chairman of the
committee on appropriations,
arrived in Washington to-
day. He said that his poll
fey for the approaching ses-
sion of congress, as chair
man Of the house commit
tee, would be to hold the ap-
preparations, as far as he
could control them, down to
existing conditions. "I be-
lieve in a liberal, but not
an extravagant, policy in
making appropriations" he
said. "and until revenues
increase, shall oppose enter
ing upon new enterprises re-
quiring the expenditure Of
government funds" Mr..
Cannon expressed the opin-
ion that by the beginning
OF the next fiscal year the
Dingley tariff bill would af-
ford revenue sufficient to
meet the legitimate demands
of the government.
He also stated his belief
to be that the coming ses-
sion would be a comparative
ly brief one. 1--WE should
be away from here easily by
the first of June" he said.
Indeed, there is very lit
tie for us to do beyond pass
ing the appropriation bills.
1t is needless for US to at
tempt to secure currency
legislation, because Of the
impossibility OF getting any,
thing through the senate"

YET MONA, Nov. Coon
VIZ gressman James A.
AA Tawney left last even
ing for Washington. In an
interview as to the business
that will probably come be-
fore congress at It's ap-
preaching session he said:
In my judgment, the
principal business of the
session of congress will be
the passage of the usual ap-
preparation bills, the settle
ment of the question of the
annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands, and the passage of
a resolution granting to the
insurgents in Cuba the
rights of belligerency. The
two last propositions will
doubtless consume consider
able time in both branches
of congress. but I look for
a very short session. 1 can
see nothing that would nee
essarily extend the session
beyond the 1st to the 18th Of
May.
"Of course, If the house
should take up the ques-
ton of the revision of our
banking and currency laws
it would provoke a long
debate in the house, unless
the bill should be passed
under a special rule limit
ing the debate. If the
house should send a bill to
the senate for this purpose
1t would cause almost inter-.
minable debate in that body,
and ultimately meet with
defeat"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Reports
that came to the state department late
in the afternoon from Hayti were to
the effect that considerable excitement
prevailed there, and that the situation
was grave. For. this reason 1t was de-
termined to hasten the departure of
the Marblehead, and the naval officials
were communicated with to this end.
The impression appeared to prevail in
Port au Prince that a German warship
was rapidly approaching the place. OF
course it is stated that the Marble
head goes solely for the purpose of pro-
tecting American interests that may
be threatened by the outbreak of dis
orders In Hayti. The latest advices
from German sources indicate that no
occasion will be given for friction be-
tween the United States and Germany
on account of the Haytian difficulty,
and that the matter will be adjusted.
1t developed today that Hayti had sent
a reply to Germany's demands, which
is somewhat remarkable for its firm
ness in view of the difference in size
Of the two powers. The Haytian note
makes it clear that the republic is
ready to discuss the mreits of the con-
troversy, but does not desire to have
Germany pass judgment in the first
place, demand an indemnity and there
after discuss the merits. Moreover
Hayti gives notice to Germany that the
German charge d'affaires to Hayti, who
made the recent demands, is persona
non grata, and that is 1t impossible for
Hayti to conduct further negotiations
with him. 1t is stated that he Offend
ed against all rules of propriety and
official etiquette, by going directly be-
fore the president Of Hayti, and In
loud and angry tone and insulting man
ner threatened dire consequences un-
less immediate reparation was made
to Germany. This personal affront to
Haytrs chief executive is regarded as
touching the honor and self-respect OF
the country and is felt to call for an
apology. Under such circumstances the
Haytian government has expressed
willingness to negotiate a settlement or
the entire case at Berlin, thus remoV-
ing it from the hands of the obJec-
tionable German official now in Hayti.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-State de-
partment officials refuse to discuss the
complication between Germany and
Hayti, growing out of the arrest of
Lueders, or to indicate what course this
country will pursue in the matter
though it is evident that they do not
regard it as likely to have serious or
permanent results. Confidence is eX-
pressed in the intentions of the Ger
man government not to act unjustly
towards the little republic and it is felt
that with the gunboat Marblehead at
Port au Prince to watch over our in
terests In the event of trouble all has
been done in the way Of preparation
that can be done.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-The Gulden-
suppe murder case, prolific of sensa-
ttons from the day it came to public
attention, has added another TO the
series of striking cllmaxes which have
marked its progress. Today the trial
of Martin Thorn came to an end, the
jury returning a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree, and before
Thorn had been returned to his cell,
after the verdict was rendered he con-
fessed that his story told on the stand
was a lie; that he and not Mrs. Mack
killed Guldensuppe, and that the testi-
mony of the woman given in the mis-
trial was in substance correct. This
acknowledgment of guilt took place
while ThOrn's cell in the Jail was being
prepared for him. During the trial
Thorn has been under charge of Po-
lice Captain Methven, of Flushing.
Capt. Methven had him under his
watchful eye while the Jail officials
searched the cell Thorn is to occupy
for a day or two. While this was be-
ing done, Thorn talked with the police
captain. He said: 81 am glad it is
over and the verdict given. am con-
victed and I am contented. II was I
who killed Guldensuppe. and / believe
every word that Mrs. Mack said upon
the stand was substantially correct.
When l was on the stand / lied when
telling the story as I did, but / lied
to clear myself. 1t is no use carrying
it any further. I am guilty and I am
convicted. 1t is what I expected, and
what I suppose people think I deserve,
and perhaps I do"

Parry was very enthusiastically ap-
plauded.
The programme included eight hymn
tunes, all selected from the Doctors
own compositions, the idea being to
give the Londoners an idea of what
a Welsh Cymanfa Ganu was like. The
time, however, was now so far ad-
vanced that the programme had to be
materially shortened, and four hymn
tunes only were sung. These were
"Cwmavon," "Llundian," MAINE" and
"Caernarfon," not one of which can
be regarded as really representative
of the music of the sanctuary in Wales.
The hymns, however, were well sung,
but why did the doctor not give a
place to "Aberystwyth" in the pro-
gramme? The concert concluded with
a spirited rendering of the march,

MODERN WARFARE.
Long Campaigns Will Give Place TO
Single But Decisive Encounters.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
AS between any two European peace
trained armies of the present day the
extreme percentage of loss to be antici-
pated locality |. e., on particular bri-
gades and divisions, will not exceed on
In three (of which one Is killed to four
wounded), whereas for whole armies of
a quarter of a million and over one in
ten is the very outside punishment we
we may reasonably expect.
Compared to the slaughter of the
Seven Years War, and the best con-
tested fields of the Napoleonic period,
this is very little, indeed. At Zorndorf
the Russians left 21,000 out of $4,000 on
the ground, and, this is undoubtedly
the bloodiest battle recorded since the
Introduction Of portable firearms,
| Eylau, Friedland, Wagram and Boro
dino all exceed the figures for any
pitched battle since the breechloader
appeared in the field. Moreover, the
| horror of the whole thing is not to be
measured by figures of percentage
only, but by the density in which the
killed and wounded lie, and the fate
of the latter afterwards. In a modern
battle 10000 men would fall on an area
of about twenty square miles; at
Zorndorf the 1000 Russians and 49,
900 Prussians lay on a single square
mile, and of the wounded, not one in
three survived: whereas in 1870 nine
out of ten recovered, and the Prussian
medical staff anticipated even better
results next time.
But death on the battlefield is by far
the least of the two evils the soldier
has to face. There is death on the
line of march and in hospitals along
the road. Whereas, formerly. particu-
larly under Napoleon, ten would die by
| the way for one who fell in action. In
the last Franco German war only one
man died of disease for two killed in
action. Indeed the health of men in
the full prime of life was actually
slightly better in the field than in
I quarters.
1t may. however, be argued that,
even granted that battles and marches
| may be less destructive, there will be
more of them, because every able
| bodied man being trained for war,the
| resistance will be more prolonged
| than formerly, but this prolonged en-
| durance is only conceivable under the
| supposition that the leaders on both
sides are hopelessly incompetent, and
both fear to stake all on a single COL

BEREAVEMENT The death of true
friend is always a sore aftliction. the
union of hearts is by invisible ties which
can never be severed without intense
pain. The departure of loved one,
whose presence and spirit were sources
of comfort, removes out of life part or
it's sweetness and leaves a void that can
never be filled The religion of Christ
does not forbid sorrow in the time of
bereavement John, Xvi:2O. But 1t does
impart an element which renders sorrow
unlike that experienced by others Verse
13). In this letter TO the Thessalonians
Paul was anxious that believers should
not experience or manifest the grief that
belongs to unbelievers, a grief that bur-
dens the heart, and clouds the life. He
would have them think of the brethren
who had been taken away as members
still of the household of faith separated
only by a thin veil, not lost forever, but
gone before into the better life, and wait
ing for the promised reunion. This hope
would soften and sweeten their sorrow.
RESURRECTION.-T strengthen that
hope 1t was necessary for the apostle to
refer to the resurrection Werses IA and
15). This he did in very simple and
effective manner. Assuming that the
Thessalonians believed what he had
taught them that Jesus rose from the
dead, he affirmed that believers would be
raised with Him. He must have referred
to bodily rising, because he believed
that souls passed at death Immediately
into the conscious presence of Christ
Phil, 1889. That rising would occur at
the second coming of the Lord Il Cor,
Xv:23) and would include His followers.
Those who might at that time be living
on the earth would not prevent IAN old
English word of Latin derivation, mean
ing to go before or precede) those who
had been in their graves. BY this state
ment he intended to show that death,
which so many dread, did not diminish
the prospect of good TO be received when
Jesus comes TO reward His people.
CIRCUMSTANCES make the fact
of the resurrection more impressive Paul
relates Werses l6 and I'D the preceding.
attending and subsequent events. Notice
three particulars: First, Jesus shall de-
scend from heaven (Acts i1D with
shout with the voice of an archangel
(Rev., X:-6) with the trump of God u
Cor, xv:50. Second, this phenomenal
second advent shall be followed by the
rising Of the righteous dead Third, the
righteous living shall then be caught up
to meet Jesus in the air (Acts i:9). In
this way the family of the redeemed of
all the ages will be united with their
illustrious head John, xiv:3D, never
again TO be separated. The apostle must
have known these things by direct reve-
lation, for they were mentioned as oc-
currences then future. Indeed, while
centuries have elapsed and many genera
tions of men have lived and passed away
since these predictions were made, the
momentous occasion here described is yet
distant. The last great day. the closing
up OF the present order still delays its
coming.

lision-a supposition that nothing
tends to justify On the contrary,
every leader brought up in the mod
ern school is taught to understand the
vulnerability of all modern military or
ganizations, and is penetrated with
the conviction that one downright
knockout blow effects more than
weeks of purposeless sparring, and
where both start determined to bring
matters to a climax. the decision can
not long be delayed. Judging from
what we know of the relative efficiency
of continental armies, we believe that
the first round of the great encounter
will also be the last, for the momen-
tum of the blow which decides Will
simply paralyze every nerve OF the op-
ponent's body, and, adding up all
sources of casualties that can occur in
a short campaign of this description,
we conclude that at the very worst the
actual cost in human life to the pow
ers engaged will not amount to more
than five per cent. of their several pop
ulations.
