DIR. Fowler, of Haverhill, Mass, who is
here holding revival NEE ing at Central
avenue Church, addressed the Methodist
ministers meeting yesterday morning His
words created quite a furore among the
preachers. He called them to task severely
because they did not believe in more emo
tional religion. He declared that the av-
erage church was equal to a cold-storage
warehouse for chilliness, unless it were a
church where the members were too poor
to be proud. He said the church is look
ing too closely after wealth, giving too
much attention to society and education
1t ought to get back TO the religion of the
fathers.
Mr. Lasby. Dr. Sims, Mr.. Earring, Mr.
Willis, Mr.. Bidd!e.. Mr.. Holingsworh, Mr.
Gill and others spoke.

lIast-bound grain rates at Chicago con-

freight agents of the Eastern roads that
rates will be lower before they are higher.
It is difficult to obtain any exact figures
that have been made of late. for all the
roads stoutIy deny that they have made any
low rates themselves, and they are not pro-
life OF data in regard to the cutting of
rates by anybody else. On one thing, how
ever. they all agree, and that is that the
rates are being cut. No very heavy ship
ments of grain have been made within tie

the only reason why the rates are not cut

The city Of Portland has been obtaining
great deal OF gratuitous advertising out
OF the hiendike relief expedition. and ii
mas been made to appear that IL had been
selected as the starting point because of
us advantageous position with reference
To Alaska. The plain truth IS that the sole
reason Of employment Of the Portland
Alaska line for transportation was the
circumstance of propinquity of Vancouver
barracks to the Oregon city. 1t was as a
matter of course easy for Gen. Merriam to
transport his troops and paraphernalia fif-
teen miles by water to Portland, and there
board steamer for the North. But even
that natural and proper arrangement
could not be fully carried out because of
the limited transportation facilities offered
at that point; and so 1t became necessary
to call Seattle's ample facilities into re-
QUESTION. The expedition is therefore to
start in two attachments. one from Port
land today. and the other from Seattle.
February I. 1t is very hard TO select a
route 10 Alaska or the Klondike that does
not lead through Seattle.

There Is well-grounded opinion that
the recent covert attack of the New York
Journal on William Jennings Bryan was
an adroit and thoroughly planned attempt
10 disclose the true state of Democrats
feeling toward him. The Journal did not
dare burn the bridges behind II, and come
out openly against him; so it simply
printed a prominent article by its chief
editorial writer, over his signature, that
1t might subsequently retreat, if neces-
sary. and lay the responsibility on him.
That is precisely what it had to do The
McEwen Philippe raised great storm.
The plan was undoubtedly inspired by
knowledge that real Democratic sentiment
in the East Is against Organism, but it
was quickly discovered that the Demo
cratic sentiment OF the West is still for
him. What the western Democracy
says soies and the East knows it. Mean
while Bryan can consider that the hostil-
fly OF Dick Croker is to him a genuine
stroke OF luck.
