HppEAh For HELP.
Dwight l.. Moody Calls for Contributions to
Aid in Carrying: On the Gospel Work in
the Army.

Dwight Il. MOODY CANS Tor CONTRIBUTORS to
Aid in Carryin: On the Gospel Work in
the Army.
Editor National Tribune: Last Summer
when our young men were gathered in
camp the Christian people of this coun-
try contributed literally to send ministers
and evangelists to cooperate with the
Army Chaplains in helping stem the tide
of temptation from which the soldiers
were in danger. Well known men like
Baltimore, DIR. A. C. Dixon of Brooklyn,
Maj d. ". White, DR.. Upper of Mont
clair, DIR. Torrey of Chicago DR.. l.. W.
Munhall of Germantown, and many
others, held meetings in all the larger
camps, and distributed Bibles, hymn
was also looked after by agents of the
Army and Navy Christian Committee at
Hampton Roads, Key West and other
points. Upwards of $4,000 was expended
in this way, not including the outlay in
connection with the splendid work done
by the Y. M. G. A. tents.
/ honestly believe that no religious
movement has ever touched our young
men like this. They were exposed to
many and great dangers in the camps,
but, thank God, thousands met Christ
there.
The opportunity is still ours to con-
tinue this same work. Large armies of
occupation are in the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Cuba, separated by thousands
of miles from ordinary church privileges.
The Navy is also accessible. There are
camps at Jacksonville and other centers
that call eagerly for our workers. At the
present time Mr.. F. Schiverea is engaged
in a fruitful ministry at Savannah, Ga.
Owing to the falling off in contributions
we have had to curtail this work. but
appeal urgently for further aid SO that it
shall not be necessary to withdraw al
together. If funds are forthcoming, we
shall follow the troops now under orders
for Cuba. Any contributions sent to me
at my home address, East NOrthfield,
Mass. will be thankfully acknowledged
and promptly used.
Yours in the work-D. L. Moody, East
Mass.

wise provision of the law the smallest
offerings-like the widows mite-had the
precedence over the offerings of the rich

Thus, by the voluntary action of the
people was the war chest supplied. A
system of non oppressive taxation was in
augurated, which might supplement fur
Their needs; or, If not so required, could
be applied to the gradual extension of the
Nations borrowings. The Joint effect OF
this wonderful response in men and in
money to the Nations call electrified the
world with a sudden comprehension of
American power and of American unity"

CHIT OF THE CORRIDORS.

| The bill to revive the Office of Admiral,
| so that the President can bestow it upon
| Admiral Dewey, will go through both
Houses with a rush. Republicans, Demo-
| Gratis, Populists, Silver Bugs and Gold
Bugs are all anxious to vote for it. But
that to revive the office of Vice-Admiral
for Admiral Sampson will incur sharp
opposition. There are quite a number of
more deserving, and they are even now
striving for an opportunity to discuss the
relative merits of the two officers. There
are some who would prefer Capt. Clark, of
the Oregon, to either Sampson or SchIey
for Vice-Admiral, but there is no way in
which they can make their wishes effect
i've. Congress can only pass the bill to
create the office. Then the President will
appoint to it whom he sees fit, subject to
confirmation by the Senate.

Mr.. Frederick Leslie lockwood formerly
OF the United States Revenue Service
but for the last II years prominent and
successful merchant traveller in South
America during which he has crossed
the continent II times, told the House
Ways and Means Committee last week
that the war had revolutionized public
opinion in Spanish America toward the
United States. At the beginning OF the
war he met insults and ilI-treatment
everywhere, and was actually thrown out
of a leading restaurant in Bogota for ex-
pressing patriotic sentiments. Now an
American is most honOred guest, people
take off their hats to him everywhere. and
they are eager TO give their trade to u.s.
He has been over both the routes of the
Panama and Nicaragua Canals, decidedly
prefers the latter, and says that work is
only kept up on the former in the ex-
pectation of being a BILE to sell it to the |
United States.

HEAVY LOSSES BY FIRE.

East Grand Forks the Scene of Sc
rtous COnfIagratiOn.
Grand Forks, n. d., Special The
big general store of M. Graham in
East Grand Forks, with it's entire
stock, amounting to So, 900, was total
ly destroyed by fire. A police officer
first noticed the blaze as he was pass
ing. and he Immediately gave the
alarm, The fire department turned
out promptly, but before a stream Of
water could be turned onto the flames
the building was beyond saving. The
fire department from this side of the
river was called on for assistance and
by hard work the adjoining buildings
were saved.
The building was twO-StOry frame
structure, with basement, and was
formerly the East Grand Forks city
school. Last summer it was purchased
by Mr.. Graham and moved to it's pres
ent location, where it was fitted up as
a general store, with residence apart
ments and a large hall up stairs. The
stock was unusually heavy, as large
quantities of new goods mad recently
been received. The building was worth
$4,000. and the stock So 900. Both

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is now
reaping the benefits of the improvements
that have been made to the property
since John X. Cowen and Oscar G. Muir
ray were appointed receivers. 1t was
lions few months ago that if the re-
ceiVerS succeeded in increasing the train
haul per ton per mile to 800 that they
could be commended for having spent so
much money in buying new locomotives.
Strengthening curves, lowering grades
and laying new rail. Since June 80 a
careful record has been kept and the re-
suits have been more than gratifying to
the management Before new locomo-
tives were purchased, before track i'm
provements were made, and before the
tonnage system of loading trains was
adopted, the average train haul per ton
per mile on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road was less than 225 tons, and some
old employees think it did not exceed 200
tons. There are no figures for compari-
in August 356.41 and in September 361.4
very large and satisfactory increase.
The average would have been stun larger
but for the fact that on several divisions,
depending on coal for tonnage, but little
or none was moved, owing to the strike.
The main stem figures are considered
very satisfactory, as that part of the
road crosses the Alleghenies, some grades
being 125 feet to the mile. The averages
on the several divisions range from 32.21,
on the Wooster branch, to 534.19, on the
Pittsburg division.

Cubans will not consent tObe trUned
aside.
New York. Jan. Ia correspondent
of the Herald has returned to Ha-
vana after having visited the camp OF
Gen. Gomez. The correspondent asked
Gen. Gomez for his opinion as TO
American Intervention and the annex
alton of Cuba to the United States. He
replied that intervention does not nee
essarily imply annexation.
II would gladly accept the former as
would accept aid from any quarter,
although / believe If left alone we will
achieve our independence unaided. and
1 am 1oath that we should be robbed
of any share in the honor of the eX-
pulsioh of the Spaniards.
''As far as annexation Is concerned,
/ cannot admit it's possibility. To that
proposition / make the same reply as
/ do TO the autonomy plan-that our
object is independence. We have
among us young men who have sac
rificed everything to this sacred
cause. For myself, | am an old man,
who now has but one object in life,
and that is to see the flag of Cuba SUI
preme from Cape Maysi to San An
tonic. We have already made fearful
sacrifices, and we stand ready to make
more in order to achieve this glorious
end. / know that the people of the
United States will never balk us in
this, our hour of victory.
1.-The idea of arbitrary annexation OF
this territory is inconsistent with the
principles on which the American re-
public is formed. If in the future. af-
ter Cuba has won her freedom, and it
is demonstrated that she is capable OF
self-government, it became apparent
that her interests would be advanced
by incorporation into the United
States, / would be the last to object
if an application should be made for
the honor of admission to the great
sisterhood of states. That is very
different thing from annexation"
Asked what his views were on an
American protectorate over Cuba,
Gen. Gomez replied that he had no OBJ
lection, believing it would carry a
guarantee of peace at home, with re-
spect Of all nations, and would per-
nit Cuba to work out her destiny I'M
der the most favorable conditions. In
return he believes that Cuba should,
in her commerce, favor the United
States above all nations.

VESSELS BADLY SHAKEN.
Tidal Wave Sweeps Up the River MT
ShebOyEan.


Sheboygan, Wis, Special.-A severe
tidal wave swept up the river here
and many vessels which are in winter
quarters received a severe shaking up.
The wave followed the southerly gale
which prevailed yesterday. The
steamer Seymour, at the Reiss Coal
company's salt dock No. /, was torn
from it's mornings. the big chains and
hawsers that held it being broken.
The steamer was dashed against the
schooner Rosa Bell the violence OF
the collision swinging the schooner
around in such manner that her Jlb-
boom struck the pilot house of the
Seymour and demolished it. The
schooner Ida Olson of Green Bay,
which was tied near the Reiss dock,
was pounded so heavily that it was
necessary to take the vessel to new
mooring place farther up the river.
Other vessels were torn from their
moorings and were dashed against the
dock with great force. This makes
the second wave in three weeks. A
movement is on foot to secure har-
Dor of refuge at this point.
