MAY HEAL THE BREACH.
Warning Factions of DIR. John Halls
Church Patching Up Differences.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-There promises to
be a healing of the breach between the
wealthy members of the Fifth-aven1ie Pres
byterian Church. caused by the resignation
Of DR.. John Hall, the venerable pastor of
the church. DR.. Hall was induced to VITA
draw his resignation. and the Withdrawal
caused a number of influential membe s
TO leave the church. One of the condit .o.s
made by DIR. Hall when he withdrew his
resignation was that he should be given
an assistant, and the congregation has bee
searching for one competent to be Dr.
Halls successor on his permanent retire
ment. There have been many applicants and
much influence has been brought to bear
FOR elergymen from all parts of the country
But up to a week ago no one seemed to
be satisfactory. Since that time a ma
3ority of the congregation has turned to-
ward Rev. DIR. Payton II. Hoge, of Will
mingtOn, n. c. No call has yet been ex-
tended to DR.. HOge. and none can be until
after the meeting of the presbyters and the
trustees in October. This, however does
not prevent the discussion of the matter by
the congregation.
DR.. Hall, who is now in Europe is booked
to return to this city on Sept. "A. 1t has
been known for some weeks that DR.. Hall
does not feel able TO bear the brunt of the
duties of pastor of the church, and in Sc
Letting DR.. Hoge as assistant the selection
virtually includes DIR. Halls successor 1t
is said that the call of DR.. Hoge to the pull
pit will heal all the trouble caused by Dr.
Halls resignation.

GREAT VICTORY.

a cunning and cruel ruler. Omdurman, his
capital city, opposite ruined Khartoum on
the Nile. was built by the Mahdi's follow
ers after the fall of the older city.
The expedition against Omdurman con-
sists of about $1,000 troops, most of whom
are Egyptians, the rest being tried British
soldiers. This expedition was undertaken
more than a year ago by the British and
Egyptian governments, not only to regain
the rich and vast domain of the Sudan,
taken by the Mahdi, but also to punish the
natives and to avenge the heroic death Of
Gordon.
The advance of the expedition from Cairo
along the Nile has been slow, but consid-
ering that a railroad has been constructed
as the columns moved forward, the march
has been rapid, from a military viewpoint.

600 native troops.

LONDON. Sept. 4.-The War ONCE has
received the following dispatch from Gen
Kitchener. dated Saturday evening: 1.-THE
remnant of the khalifa's force has surren-
dered, and l have now a very large num-
Der of prisoners on my hands. Our cavalry
and gunboats are still pursuing the Khalifa
and his chiefs. who, with only about 40
hghting men, are apparently making for
hordofan. The left bank of the White Nile
is SO difficult of approach, owing to the
overflow and the thick BUSH that the gun
poats cannot effect a landing ] therefore
can only rely upon the cavalry to capture
him.

THE MONTEREY'S TRIP
STORY OF THE VENTURESOME JOUR-
NEY TO THE PHILIPPINES.
One of Merritt's Fleet of Transports
to Manila Returns to San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 4.-The transport
Colon tonight brought the following from
Manila, Philippine islands, Aug. 4: The
United States coast defense vessel Monterey
and the United States collier Brutus arrived
here to-day, with all well on board after
a long and uneventful trip, having left
San Francisco on June Z last and San
Diego, Cal, on June IL. The trip was re-
markable for nothing save the wonderful
fine weather had all of the way over, except
one little gale on July 81. During this voy-
age of 1900 knots the Monterey was towed
5725 knots by the Brutus, and two stops
were made. one at Honolulu and the other al
the Island of Guam, in the Marian group
AT each of these PAGES the Monterey was
coaled, in Honolulu from shore and in Guam
from the Brutus. The distance towed and
that steamed without towing are as follows
June to June %, towed 7l2 knots; July
to July p, towed 2,54l knots; July 25 to July
Is, towed Az knots; steamed without towing
1876 knots; total, 1900 knots.
The e-hundred-and-eightie meridian
was crossed between the 8th and 18th OF
July, so that the 9th and 10th were but
one, and the total number of towing hours
was SOL, and SIC knots the average rate
the Monterey was hauled across the Pa
cific by the Brutus.
In entering San Bernardino strait the
lighthouse keeper on Kapul island hoisted
the Spanish flag and sslluted with it as the
two vessels passed. OF course, this set ev-
cry one to wondering whether or not peace
had been proclaimed.
Compared with the trip of the Oregon 60
ing west to the east coast of the United
States, the voyage just finished by these
two vessels is devoid of the dramatic inter-
est that characterized the battle ships great
home run, but as a matter of fact that trip
OF the Monterey was really the most ven-
turesome of the two. The Oregon could fly
as well as fight, but for the greater Fart

steaming radius is only 1000 miles, while
the Brutus steamed the entire distance OF
1900 miles gave the Monterey 267 tons OF
coal and then arrived in Manila with g. SO(
tons in her bunkerS
AS an experiment the trip has proved
nothing more than that, with phenomenally
fine weather, a vessel intended for coast
defense may, with her own steam and a
tow. cross the Pacific ocean. What tale
there would have been to tell had mucf
rough weather been encountered is Of
course, another story. There is reason tC
believe, however, that such voyage car

the Pacific ocean it is always possible tc
choose route along which favorable
winds will probably be encountered.

AGUINALDO Is<ACTIVE.
Rapidly Extending His Work of TAX
ing New Territory.


LONDON, Sept. 5.-The Manila CORE
spondent of the Times, telegraphing Sun
day, says: Regular trains will begin to
run on the Manila Dagupan Railway to-
morrow. General Aguinaldo refused to per-
init repairs to the line and a re-establish-
ment of train service except on the signifi-
cant condition that no foreign troops were
to be conveyed. To-day he effected an i'm
portant alliance with the Santiaglesia party
in the northern provinces of Pangasinan
and Zamballes This party commands five
thousand armed troops and had hitherto re-
sisted General Asuinaldo's pretensons to
dictatorship.
There are active movements among the
insurgents everywhere north of Manila.
Vigan has lately been occupied and cam
paign has been directed against Bamaran
where the Spanish supposed to be con-
centrated. The insurgents are in possession
of the whole of I.aguna bay except a single
position. This does not support the stories
of serious disaffectiOn among the insurgent
leaders, although Aguinaldo's unpopularity
is undoubtedly increasing. He is evidently
using every effort to secure a recognition at
the INSTRUMENTATION peace conference in
Paris, on revolutionary government. His
army doubtless numbers over thirty thou
sand men, we'll armed and equipped
According to advices from Iloilo, General
Rios, governor of the Visayas, is arresting

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Muncfe Man Found with His Head
Broken, but Nothing Missing.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MU4,CIE, Ind, Sept. 4.-The police and
citizens of Muncie are considerably puzzled
over a mysterious murder which occurred
here early this morning. About daybreak
an employee of the Indiana iron works, re-
turning home from work, discovered the
dead body of William Stall, aged forty-fve
lying in the street a short distance from
his home, 1902 South Elm street The police
were at once notified, and Coroner Poland
made an examination of the body. The only
injuries found were two fractures of the
skull on either side of the forehead near the
temple, and the coroner concluded that
either or both of the fractures might have
caused DEATH The wound was evidently
made by a blunt instrument. The motive
Tor the supposed murder is not thought to
nave been robbery as the dead mans watch
and money was found undisturbed and his
clothing was not disarranged in any way
me police have established the fact that
stan was last seen playing cards with sew
eral others in Webster's saloon. He left
there about IL o'clock, and was seen to
enter an alley leading towards his home
about half an hour later, evidently in good
spirits OF his actions after that time moth
ing is known. Early in the day the police for
time believed they had solved the mystery
when they were told by Big Four brake
man that he had pulled the man from the
track last night, who said he had been hit
on the head at Maple Grove beer garden
considerable investigation, however, proved
TINS crew TO be worthless. Stall was not a
hard drinker, and his absence from home
last night caused great uneasiness there
Inc police say they have been told that
lie relations between Stall and some of the
Tor some time but they do not now asso-
clate the fact with his murder.
