Secretary Long has relieved Capt.

superintendent of the coast signal
service, and the naval war board has
been considering the names of vari-
GUS officers to assign to duty in his
stead. Before Capt. Kane was select

Walker was seriously considered, but
his application for duty requests that
he be assigned to a command afioat.
and this was the obstacle in the way
of his assignment to shore work. His
name may again come up, but it is NOT
believed he will be appointed. Rear
Admiral T. o. Selfridge, who was re-
lieved from duty several months ago
and placed on the retired list, fs still
vigorous and as healthy as he was ten
years ago, and his friends are wonder

available for duty. and either of these.

THE DUTY OF FRENcHMEN.
Advice From the COarrier des Etats
UDin.

UDis.
The Courier des Etats-Unis. the Of
fetal organ Of the French population
in, the United States. published yes
terday the full text of the declaration
of neutrality recently issued by the
French republic. Commenting editor
tally on this declaration the Courier.
in part. says:
This declaration Of neutrality only
applies to those Frenchmen who have
retained their French nationality and
who. although residing temporarily in
the United StatesA have remained cit
izens of the French republic. On the
other hand, the declaration does not
apply to those who. having taken out
American naturalization papers. have
lost their claim to French protection.
In becoming American citizens the lat
ter have renounced the right to remain
neutral in the war between the United
States and Spain Their duty is to
make common cause with their adopt
ed country. with the United States
against Spain. They have become
Americans by acts Of their own wills.
and the same as they eujoy the bene-
fits of their new nationality. they must
accept all its dutieA and responsible
ties.
"As to non-naturalized Frenchmen,
who are very numerous among our
readers. We urge them not to forget.
while observing the neutrality pro-
claimed by the French government,
that they are enjoying the hospitality
of the United States Whatever may
be their opinions on the cause of the
actual conflict. they should abstain
from all manifestAtioHs likely to
wound American susceptibilities.
When the patriotic sentiments of a
people are aroused by way il i'll be-
comes foreign residents to go against
these sentiments. Silence is their first
duty. Moreover, can Frenchmen for
get that the United States are the
tradition alaliies OF France. and that
the name of Lafayette is as popular
here as that of Washington"

Ringing Resolutions Adopted by the
New York Chamber of Commerce.
New York. May 6.-The rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce rang with patriot
ic speeches and sheers in applause OF
them at the 130th annual meeting of that
body yesterday. There was the usual i'm
portant business of an annual meeting to
transact, but the war completely over
shadowed 1t.
President Seth Low, of Columbia Col
lege. started the ball of patriotic fervor
rolling by presenting resolutions pledging
the chambers unqualified and hearty
support to the President and Congress of
the United States in the conduct of the
war; He followed the reading of the
resolutions with speech, in which he
said:
II have heard it said in many quarters
that the war is needless and ought to
have been avoided. In the same way 1t
was said to me not many months ago that
our civil war was needless and ought to
have been avoided
Former Governor Levi p. Morton Sec
Onded President Lows resolutions. and
William E. Dodge and Former Mayor
Abram s. Hewitt made stirring speeches
in support of the resolutions. Each speak
er was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause, the most vigorous hand clapping
and cheering occurring at mention of
Commodore Dewey's name or reference
to his wOrld-famed exploit in Manila Bay
For twenty-five years." declared Mr.
Hewitt, the Government of the United
States and its people have been trying to
avoid war with Spain. In 1873. after the
Virginius outrage, the tact of Grant and
the diplomacy of Hamilton Fish enabled
us to compose our differences without re-
sort to the dread arbitrament of war
am satisfied that we made a mistake 1t
would have been better twenty-five years
ago to have settled with Spain then once
for all. as we are doing now"
The chamber loudly applauded Mr..
Hewftt's utterance.
In his speech Mr.. Dodge suggested that
the Chamber of Commerce committee to
be appointed under Seth Lows resolution
should provide or help to provide for the
means of such work as was so efficiently
done by the Sanitary Commission during
the civil war.
The resolutions were passed unanimous
ly. They are as follows:
Whereas the people Of the United States. by
the almost unanimous action of their Govern
mcnt, are at war with Spain for the purpose Of
securing for the people Of Cuba free and stable
government; and
Whereas every instinct Of humanity and pa
triotikm demands that. in such q controversy.
the people sustain the Government with all their
power; therefore, he it -

the State Of New York. mindful OF its own loyal
and patriotic past, hereby pledges its unqualified
and hearty support to the President and Con-
grcss Of the United States in the conduct Of the

Resolved, That the chamber will willingly and
heartily bear its shsre Of the common burdens
whatever they may be, to the end that such .
peace may be speedily obtained rs will inure to
the benefit OF our Cuban neighbors and to the

Trend of Evolution

Look at China, where evolution has had full swing for thousands of years uninterrupted by anything except here and there mission station with this defunct book, the Bible, but through the most of the realm not interfered with. What has evolution done for China? Christian civilization goes in and builds railroad; they tear 1t up For 1000 years the Chinese nation. where 1t is not invaded by the gospel has not made one-fve- hundred -millionth part of an inch of advancement. They worship the same gods of red paint Just as always, they drown the female children as nuisance. Just as always, they eat with chopstioks So in India, so in Arabia, so in Turkey, so every. where where the gospel has not made an invasion.
 l tell you. my friends, that natural evolution is not upward but it Is always downward. Hear Christ's account of it. Fifteenth Matthew and nineteenth verse, "Out of the heart proceed evil tions, thefts, false witness, blasphe- mics" That is what Christ said of evo- lution. Give natural evolution full swing in our world and 1t will evolve into two hemispheres of crime, two hemispheres of penitentiary, two hem ispheres of lazaretto, two hemispheres of brothel. New York Tombs, Moya- mensing prison, Philadelphia, Seven Dials, London and Cowgate. Edinburgh, only fostering carbuncles on the face and neck of natural evolution. See what the Bible says about the heart and then what evolution says about the heart Evolution says "better and bet ter and better gets the heart by natural improvement" The Bible says: "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked Who can know it?" When you can evolve fragrance from malodor, and can evolve an oratorio from buzzsaw, and can evolve fall pippins from basket of decayed crab apples, then you can by natural evolu- tion from the human heart develop goodness An, my friends. natural evo- lution is always downward; it is never
