DOES NOT LIKE THE HULL BILL.
Colonel 4. Bow Dougherty Writes a
Letter Protesting Against II.

Colonel c. Bow Dougherty, OF Wilkes
Barre, has sent to Congressman VIII
lams, of that district, a letter protest.
ing against the Hull bill for the reor-
ganizatiOn of the army.
Colonel Dougherty states that the
passage of the bin would be a death
blow to the National Guard and that
he makes the request on behalf of his
rcSimental officers.
Its passage" he says, will deprive
the government in the time of war of
the American volunteer who so nobly
contributed during the War of the Re-
bellion to the saving Of the nation, and
it will also deprive the men who now
make up the splendid organization of
the National Guard of all the states of
fighting for their country under officers
Of their own choosing. No longer can
"A patriot hope to rise to honor and dis
tinction fighting for the flag of his
country, as the army will be of1icered
wholly during war times by officers of
the regular army. 1t is contrary to the
spirit of our institutions and the con-
stitution of our country to destroy the
militia"

AppOmatoX Day was very appropri-
ately celebrated by Camp 242, Patriotic
order Sons of America, at odd Eel
lows hail, Wyoming avenue, last
night. Patriotic exercises made up
the programme,
Invitations had been extended 70 the
sister camps of the district and the re-
spoBses were SO liberal as to fill the
spacious hall. Company \, Patriotic
Guards, headed by Camp 430 drum
corps, came over in a body from the
South Side and as they marched
through the city on their way to and
from the hall attracted no little at
tention, as may be imagined. many
supposing upon hearing the flies and
drums and seeing the glistoning bay
onets that there was squad sent cut
&C. summon the Thirteenth together.
The most appropriate feature of the
exercises at the hall was the arrange
ment of the speeches. There was an
opening address of welcome by George
Phillips. who presided, and then in
succession were heard addresses on
the Grand Army of the Republic by
Alderman John r. Howe, on the Union
Veterans Union, by Edward Haas; on
the Sons of Veterans. by William
Widenor and summing up address
by \. j. COlborn, jr., state president Of
the T.. o. $. of A.
Mr.. Colborn interestingly outlined
the events that led up to the civil war,
described the outbreak progress and
cessation of the struggle and then
treated of the results of Lees Surren-
der and the lessons to be drawn from
the story as whole. 1t was a lesson
in history rather than speech and in
no mean way must have had the effect
the speaker intended "to inculcate the
spirit Of patriotism in the young and
revive it in the old"
The remainder OF the programme
was made up of patriotic songs by the
assemblage. recitations by Charles
Weber and Robert COlborn and a ster-
eoptlcon exhibition by ]. f. Baumeis-
ter and NJ. l.. Wage, in which some
excellent views of the battleship Maine
and other vessels were shown.
At the conclusion of the exercises w.
A. St. John announced that Camp 242
is organizing a company Of Patriotic
Guards and urged the other camps to
do likewise. that regiment might be
formed and put in shape for active
service from the first, if a call to arms
should come. The announcement was
received with ringing cheers.
The celebration was arranged and
carried out by committee consisting
of NJ. l.. Wage, Joseph +. Baumester
and w. A. st. John.

fore Alderman Millar and the story
Of the assault was gone over in de-
tail Gleason and Conductor julius
Lnnguth testified.
Hon. John y. Quinnan, a1orney for
the defendants, Contended that as the
only assault committed on Gleason
was the one by which he sustained the
cash, and that no one, not even Glea-
son himself, could say who did it,
there was nothing on which to- hold
the accused for count. p. w. Gallagh-
or. attorney for the prosecution, argued
that an assault had been committed in
which all three participated and that
g prima faciae case having been made
out, II was the duty of the alderman
to submit the matter TO a jury
Alderman Millar took this view of
the case and held each of the defend
ants in 5000 bail for court. All secur-
ed bondsmen and were released.

of the new school He depends on his

McFadden Is the opposite. The guard

DAY OF RESURRECTION
And Special Providence Are Doubted
by Lyman Abbott.

New York, May 26-The most recent
sermon of the Rev Lyman Abbott, is
causing much comment. He took as
his subject the change in religious
thought and theological conceptions in
the last 80 or 40 years.
Nobody" he said, "can deny that in
the last 80 or 40 years there has been
change in religious conceptions. Many
men have changed their views. 1 know
that l have, and, although we cannot
attack those who hold to the views
which we think we have outgrown, the
change must be illustrated by our own
experience.
God, now think is not apart from
nature, but dwells in nature. That he
made this world and is not the ergi-
neer of it I cannot now believe. There
are no forces; there is but one force
God. There are no causes, for there IS
put one great and underlying cause.
Natural and supernatural are the same.

every day, every hour, opens a new

universe is gone. He is the ruler, not
over the universe, but in it, Is that

with God showing himself to man more
and more as the years go by. He Is
disclosing just as fast as we are able to

American Sailor Writes of the Glen
fuegos Engagement

New York Nav 26-An interesting let
ter has been received at Green Point, L.
L, from a member of the crew of the
cruiser Marblehead, who described the
engagement off Cienfuegos, on the
southern coast of Cuba. he writes,
under date of May Is, as follows;
Left Key West on May 4, about mid
night The Eagle Joined US before we
got to Cienfuegos. The Nashville came
next day. We lay off until the 10th,
when a collier and the Window came
down with the order for us to cut three
abIes that went out of Cienfuegos. The
next morning at o'clock, two boats
from our ship and two from the Nash
vile went in within fifty yards of the
shore They had to go in close, for
the water is very deep.
There was a fine lighthouse and 700
Spanish soldiers on the point. AS soon
as the boats left the ships we took our
position 1000 yards from shore. The
Nashville took hers and we sent shell
into the woods and all around the light
house, but did not touch the latter
Trees, stones and dirt did everlastingly
fly, and the Spaniards were going over
the hills as fast as they could. Every
thing worked well.
were on the third when they got some
rapid fire guns working on our boats.
We sent 5-inch shells in there as fast
as we could load the guns, but did not
reach them. One was coming from the
lighthouse. AS soon as the captain
saw it he ordered them to fire on the
lighthouse, six 5-inch shells struck at at
the same time.
"Our boats had been driven away from
the cable. There was one man dead
in the boats and seven injured. We
got the men out of the boats, hoisted
the boats on board and blew down the
lighthouse. 1t was a fine sight to see
them shoot at the lighthouse. 1t was
about 60 feet high, and built of brick.
They cut it in the center and it fell all
in a heap. We put all the injured
aboard the Window and sent them to
Key West. We buried the one that was
killed.
1.-The next day four insurgent leaders
came aboard and said that they were
back of the hills, and as fast as the
Spaniards came over the hills, from the
effects of our fire, they would shoot
them. We killed $50 Spaniards and
wounded five insurgents. One shell
landed in their camp. One of the in
surgents could speak good English. He
had been through some college in Penn
sylvania."
The letter was written while the Mar
blehead was steaming back to Key
West. The writer says, in closing:
There are some of our big ships 1y-
ing off Key West"

SENATE IN NO HURRY.
Prospect of Delay in Action on the
Revenue Bill

Washington. May 26.-Late yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Allison Qa.), in charge of
the war revenue bill in the senate, endeav-
ored to secure unanimous consent that
final vote the measure be taken
Saturday before adjournment. Mr.. Tel
Ter Cold objected
Mr.. Daniel CVa.), in reiterating Mr.. Tel
1ers objection, sounded the first note of
delay against the measure that has been
heard since the debate upon it began. He
declared that there was no emergency
which required the Immediate passag of
the bill, and frankly announced that if
certain provisions of the bill put into it
by the Democrats on the finance commit
tee were not agreed to by the senate he
would offer some amendments to the
measure that probably would precipitate
debate. He strongly intimated, too, that
If the war should not be prolonged, it
might not be necessary to provide so much
revenue the pending bill would raise,
and he indicated desire to await deveI-
opments that in all likelihood were close
at hand, before passing upon a bill that
meant so much to the people as this one.
Before the revenue bill was taken up
the pension deficiency appropriation bill
was passed. 1t carried nearly 50 O00, 600.
