THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
BISHOP PorTER,s ADDRESS.
Discusses Office and Manhood at Ma,
 quand Chapei.


 quand Chapel.
 Bishop Potter of New York spoke un- der the auspices of the Leonard Bacon club in Marquand chapel last evening. In his direct, forcible and interesting manner he discussed the subject, "Of- flee and Manhood, or Powers and Power" The address was primarily for theological students, but those of the laity who were able to crowd into the chapel were hardly less interested and instructed.
 Among other things, the bishop said that there had been a time when the people who sat in the pews took with out questioning the views of the preachers in matters of belief. In this respect things have greatly changed to- day and people are less ready 10 accept the minister's views than formerly. This is in part due to the difference be- tween the education of people to-day and hundred years ago. The people to-day are better educated and conse- quently less inclined to take things on authority than then. However, I do not believe the popular mind to-day Is any more skeptical, but only more critical" the speaker saidA "There is less inclination to accept the minis ter's opinion than formerly. There is a profound impatience of authority to- day A young minister going to a par ish in town or country finds himself treated with courtesy and respect, but 1 otherwise he has to look to his personal | qualities as a preacher for his power among his people There used to be a halo flung about the ministerial office | and it was enough to say that q man | was minister to have his opinion at once deferred to. To-day minister's hearers ask: Is he a true man? Does | he look for the truth from more than one standpoint?' 1"
 Bishop Potter advised the students to | inform themselves as to more than their own system of belief, saying that il I was one of the weaknesses of all alvin. 1 ity schools that they taught little but the theological system of the denomina. l ton to which the school belonged. The most encouraging sign of the times is the growth of the love of fair play l The world and the church Is outgrowine l the time when it is afraid of the truth 1 The preacher of the future will not be l the man of style, but the mau who has son thing to say. In othar words l lran.lcci instead of off1cialism The l power of character was never so grea' as to-day.

CRISIS IN BRIBERY CHARGES
IHEPOLITICAL SITUATION IN OHIO
 GROWS MORE COMPLICATED.

Witnesses Summoned Before the Senate
 Investigating Committee Refuse to Tes-
 tify and the Senate Will be Asked to
 Punish Them for Contempt-Leading
 Lawyers to Fight the Case.
 Columbus. O.. Jan. 19.-The investi- gation into the charges of bribery at the recent election of United States senator reached a crisis tonight. The senate committee last night examined Samuel Pentfield, Frank P. Ross, w. F. Truesdale and Shepherd M. Dunlap, who then asked to confer with their attorneys and were excused till to- night When they appeared tonight they said their attorneys held that the senate had no jurisdiction in the in vestigation of the alleged bribery of a member of the house and had advised them not to answer any further ques- tions before the committee. They and Mrs. Hollenbeck of the state republican executive committee all followed the advice of their attorney and refused to answer questions.
 The senate chamber was crowded. The witnesses replies showed that most eminent lawyers had been engaged in the case. The members of the house in- vestigating committee were present, but none of them took any part. Each witness was told that he was held un- der service by the committee and should report tomorrow and sooner if called for. The committee will make partial report to the senate tomorrow and ask the senate to punish the witnesses for contempt.

STRIKE OF WAGE FARMERS.
Third Day Uneventfal-Contest Settles to
 One of Endurance.


 Boston, Jan. 19.-The third day of the wage earners' strike in the New Eng land cotton and woolen industrial cen- ters, has been an uneventful one, and during the past twenty four hours peace and quiet have prevailed Those who were at first inclined to believe, that either the strikers or mill owners would not hold out only a few days have now come to the conclusion that the matter has settled down to a contest of endur- ance. There are no signs of concession by either side, and none are looked for in the near future. Ih many of these places the entire textile industries are not at a standstill as is the case in New Bedford. The only new acquisition to the list of striking communities to-day was that of the Cabot mill of Bruns- wick Me, where 225 operatives refused to work at the reduced wages.

In the Hous.

Washington, Jan. 19.-A spirited de- bate was precipitated in the senate to- day by the introduction of a resolution by MT. Hoar providing for an inquiry by the committee on postofiices and postroads concerning the recent order of the postmaster general reducing the force of letter carriers in several cities of the country Mr. Hoar declared that the order had had the effect of dyna- mite bomb in creating consternation among business men throughout the. country, while apparently all that WAS needed by the postoffice department was an appropriation Of $50 1000 to maintain the efficiency of the carrier service. The debate took 2 wide ranges MT. Wolcott, chairman of the commit stee on postof1ces, Insisting. that many New England people represented by MT Hoar were responsible for the dehcien- cy in the funds of the postof11ce de-H partment because they insisted that the: government should carry second-classs mail at an enormous loss, and MT.

HITS UNASSIGNED WORDS
EXPLAINS WHY c JEAN INSURGENTS
 WISH BELLIGERENCY.

They Hope and Believe This Country win
 be Embroiled in q War with Spain Which
 Would Give Them Their Freedom With
 Our Triumph--Tho Postofice Reduction
 Causes q Hot Time in the House.
 Washington, Jan. 19.--All day lonr the question of granting bellgerent rights to the Cuban insurgents was ar- gued in the house, but, as on yesterday. the minority hurled itself against was on a motion designed to overrule the decision of the speaker and direct the committee on foreign affairs to re- port without further delay the Cuban resolution passed by the senate at the last session, in which the republicans stood solidly and voted to sustain the chair The galleries were packed to the doors and there was considerable excite ment during the early part of the ses- sion when the members of the minority were successfully pressing all sorts of amendments bearing on the Cuban question for the purpose of embarrass- ing the majority.
 During the general debate Chairman Hit of the foreign affairs committee made an impressive speech, explaining at length the situation which made ac- tion by congress inadvisable. He spoke with impassioned words of the. presidents sympathy with the struggle for Cuban independence and the. achievements of the present adninis- tration. Perhaps the most dramatic portion of his speech came when he de- clared that the insurgents only wished l for belligerent rights in the hope and belief that this country would be eIa-E broiled in a war with Spain which would give them their freedom with our triumph. He asserted that the | president must assume the responsibi1- ity of any action which might eventu-' ate in war, and appealed to both sides of the chamber to periodically support I the executive if crisis should come.

FOREIGN GOODS
 IN FALSE CARE
They Compete With Superior Products of American
 Make by Imitation.
Collector Jackson Instructed by the Secretary of the Treasury to
 Protect Home Manufactures

The Treasury Department notified Col lector Jackson yesterday of its interpre- tation of circular No 31 concerning 1m- ported goods bearing the names of Amer fcan manufacturers. During the past few years a considerable quantity of cutlery and other goods manufactured abroad have been shipped into the United States bearing fictitious brands, tending to in- duce the consumer to believe that they were of American manufacture. This is cited as an illustration of the fact that in certain lines American manufacturers excel the foreign. The circular received yesterday by Colonel Jackson is as fol- lows:
 Cutlery bearing fictitious brands, em- bracing the names of well-known places in the United States, such as ''Waltham Company, 1 tp.'iai etc.. although accompanied by marking indicating the country of origin, will not be admissible to entry.
 houses, unaccompanied by name of place in the United States, but bearing name or indication of country of origin will be ad- miSSible to entry.
 Where practicable the name of country of origin should appear in connection with the trade mark or commercial brand of the article, but where thls Is lmpractlca- ble the marking can be placed on the re- verse side in a conspicuous place; but in either case the marking to indicate the country of origin must be in letters as
 
 portion of the brand.
 The name of the country of origin must appear upon all labels and all packages in which imported goods subject to mark ing are contained.
 Presentation cutlery, properly marked with the name of the country of origin, may be admitted to entry when bearing also complimentary inscriptions, such as Presented by John Brown & Co.,: Chi cago, Ill., or With Compliments of John Brown X Co.,, Chicago. nl."
 Any well-known foreign articles of com merce, such as "Old Holland Gin "Old Tom Gin etc, may be admitted to entry manufacturers, and, in addition the words London and New York; etc.
 Goods afoat, in warehouse or in course of manufacture at the time of the promul- gation of the above circular, the markings of which do not conform thereto, are pri- marily not admissible to entry, but the department will consider the bona fides of each case on proper presentation after importation.
