DIR. ABBOTT'S LIBERALISM.
Advocates Dancing and Play Going If Ii
Helps People.

New York, Jan. 24.-The Rev. DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, in his morning sermon in
Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, yesterday
said in part:
Dancing is one of the most natural
things in the world, and the Christians
duty is not to condemn all dancing, but
to use the instructive element of the dance
and turn it to Gods use AMI praise %
DIR. Abbott said woman might wear
diamonds legitimately as long as she did
not attempt to outsbine her neighbors.
Later he said:
"Patronize the theatre if it sends you
back to life refreshed and invigorated
You have right to decide every question
by this fundamental test: Does it help me
to become better man or woman"

THE BATTLE OF DEPUTIES.
Unparalleled Scenes Witnessed in the
Chamber.

Paris, Jan. 23.-It is agreed on all side
that Saturdays scene in the Chamber G
Deputies was almost without precedent
except the recent disturbances in the Aus
trian Reichsrath. Curiously enough
Count Bedeni former Austrian Premier
witnessed it. He must have felt quite a
home.
After the chamber was cleared 125 tori
off neckties were picked up, together with
many coats that had been torn by depu
ties from each other shoulders.
Nj. Clovis Hugues, one of the deputies
for the Department of the Seine, had q
door slammed on his fingers, which were
so mutilated that he is nov in the hands
of surgeon.
The scene of the fighting around the
''Tribune" was unparalleled. Comte de
Bernis is a retired cavalry officer, and has
the rough manners of the bull-fghting
town Of Mines, where he will be a candi.
date at the next elections NJ. Jaures is
thick set, forid and hairy,
NJ. Gelault- Richard is, mild-looking.
The latter was hustled and knocked about
like foot ball in his attempt to deal
Comte de Bernis blow.
Some eighty deputies were in the fight.
Coats were torn to tatters and crayats
were seized in the attempts to choke an
opponent.
During lull in the fight NJ. Gerault-
Richard was seen in tatters, his cravat
torn off and his vest-front torn open,
while hissympathizers were patting him
on the back.
CoMTE KNOCKS JAUREs OVER.
Suddenly Comte de Bernis bounded up
the stairs of the Tribune on all fours
like an animal, dealt NJ. Jaures heavy
blow on the back of the head, and kicked
him on the legs.
NJ Jaures was knocked over and Stun
bled down the steps. Picking himself up,
he saw Comte de Bernis making off with
crowd of deputies, while the remainder
of the House hooted him, crying Cow
ard" and Traitor"
NJ. Jaures threw a knotted handkerchief
after him.
Comte de Bernis seemed paralyzed, and
the House cheered NJ. Jaures, while body
of Socialists made another rush at Comte
de Belnis, and the melee was renewed as
furious as before.
NJ. Brisson, President of the Chamber,
finding it hopeless to restore order, de-
parted, and the military entered at the
request, it is said, of a questor, who feared
loss Of life if the scenes were continued.
1, Deville threw an ink pot at NJ. de
Bernis, who he missed, but the missile
struck an usher and the contents deluged
Conservative Deputy, whose face was
drenched with blood and ink.
Deputy Pajol was seized with an cpl
leptic fit during the disorder and was car
ried out into the lobby.

from loss of blood and the excitement.

turban was torn off during the scrimmage,

prevented indefinitely the election of a
Republican Senator until Senator German
voted with his party to takeup the Stanley
Matthews resolutions.
AN UNCOMFORTABLE DILEMMA.

Between now and Thurday these Sena-
tors will be in very uncomfortable posi-
ton, yet no matter whether they follow
their inclinations and vote for the resolu-
tions, or follow their party and vote against
them, they will be in still more uncom-
Portable position after the vote is taken.
On the other side of the Chamber, Re-
publicans who have been standing on the
st. Louis platform and supporting the Nc
Kinley Administration in spite of the fact
that they have silver constituencies-men
like Wolcott, of Colorado; Carter, of Mon
tana; Warren and Clark, of Wyoming-are
in an equally disagreeable situation, and
whichever way they vote will have equally
disagreeable consequences.

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
Hawaiian Treaty Will Take Back Seat
for Finance.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-The pres
ent outlook is unfavorable to the Senate's
giving much attention to the Hawaiian
treaty during the week. The agreement
to vote on Thursday upon the Teller reso-
luton, reafirming the doctrine that United
States bonds are payable in silver at the
option of the government, will in all prob
ability result in the Senate giving the ma
jor portion of its time until that date to
this measure, with the exception of that
necessary to the consideration of appropri-
aticn bills.
Senator Turpie has given notice of a
speech on the Teller resolution for tomor-
row, and it is expected that speeches for it
will be made by Senators Teller, Pettigrew,
White and others, and that there also will
be some addresses in opposition. Senator
Nelson has offered an amendment declar-
ing for the maintenance of the parity of the
two metals, but the silver men, consider
ing this proposed modification hostile to
their purpose, will not accept it, They
say they will insist on vote upon the res
olution as it stands.
When the Hawaiian treaty next comes
up Senator Teller will be recognized TO
speak in its support, and he probably
will be followed by Senator White in oppo-
sltion. The vote on the treaty now ap-
pears at least three weeks distant.

RALLYING TO LEES SUPPORT.
One of Our warships to Go to the Scene
of Trouble.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Battleshi
, Maine is under orders to proceed to Ha
vana. She will reach there in q day o
two, probably sooner.
There is feeling that this new NOV
of the administration marks the begin
ming of the end of the conflict in Cuba
Many persons see in to.days actor
another logical step in the chain of recen
events which has seemed to lead up tc
intervention by the United States.
Much significance is attached to the
fact that the Maine, q large battleship, is
the vessel ordered to Cuba instead of q
cruiser. 1t is said at the State Depart,
ment that the ordering of the Maine to
Havana was done with an entirely friendly
purpose and that this visit may be taken
as an indication that there is no longer
any reason for keeping American warships
away from that port, the relations be-
tween this country and Spain being ami
cable. The Secretary Of the Navy issued
the following this afternoon:
"Nlatters are now in such condition
that our vessels are going to resume the
friendly calls at Cuban ports, and go in
and out just as vessels of Others nations
do. The Maine will go on just such a
visit.
1t is reported that when the President
read this morning, the information that
two Germans warships were in Cuban wa
ters he Immediately called a conference
of his advisers which resulted in the de-
cision TO send the Maine. The German
vessels are undoubtedly the Stein and the
Charlotte, which appeared off Port au
Prince to back up the demand of Germany
for the payment of an indemnity to
Lueders. They are armed with five rapid
fire guns and haye five-inch rifles in their
main batteries.
AT LEES REQUEST.
New York, Jan. PA World special
from Washington says:
''The administration decided to send
the Maine to Cuba only as the result Of
the persistence of Consul Lee, who to-day
sent a personal telegram to the President,
saying he was tired of wasting time with
the State Department. He said the per
petual feeling of apprehension in Havana
could be endured no longer, and repeated
his former statements that the situation
was serious and that some steps should be
taken for the protection of American in
terests.
"The President based his steps upon the
promise given to Gen. Lee when last in
this city, that he would be supported in
every way. 1t was only on this promise
that General Lee returned to Cuba. Find
ing nothing could be accomplished through
the State Department, General Lee, as
last resort, appealed to Mr.. Mckinley,
and the obligation to provide support was
kept"

SCHEME OF THE SILVER DEMOCRATS.

1t is, of course, partly because these con-
servative Democrats have been trying to
bring the Democratic party in their States
onto better ground than that of the silver
ties, and have been discouraging all talk of
Bryan and Organism, that the radical and
rancorous silver Democrats have been
working to get them into this dilemma.
1t has already cost Senator German a
great deal, if, as is believed by Democratic
Senators generally, there was good pros;

SENATE IN A QUANDARY.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-Senators
German, of Maryland; Murphy, of New
York; Smith, of New Jersey, and Mitchell,
of Wisconsin, have not determined how
they will vote on the Stanley Matthews
resolution next Thursday, and are in a
state of great embarrassment and anxiety
over this move of their free silver col
leagues, who took it without consulting
them, and partly to put them on record.
Personally none of these four Senators
can approve the resolution, and their con-
stituencies are equally opposed to them,
yet as partisans who have always been
sticklers for standing by the party they
hesitate to break with the majority of their
party associates in the Senate on what has
now been made party question, much as
they may deplore it.

In death.
The intelligent loyal soldier and
sailor and marine, regular and volun-
teer, are entitled to equal praise, as
having done their whole duty, whether
at home or under the baptism of for
eign fire. Who will dim the splendor
of their achievements? Who will with
hold from them their well-earned dis
tinction? Who will intrude detraction
at this time to betlittle the manly spirit
OF the American youth and impair the
usefulness Of the American navy? Who
will embarrass the government by SOW
ing seeds Of dissatisfaction among the
brave men who stand ready to serve
and die if need be. for their country?
Who will darlIen the counsels of the
republic in this hour requiring the
united wisdom of all? Shall we deny
to ourselves what the rest of the world
80 freely and so justly accords to
us?
The men who endured in the short but
decisive struggle It's hardships its pri-
vations, whether in the field or camp
on ship or in the Siege, and planned
and achieved its victories, will never
tolerate impeachment, either direct or
indirect, of those who won peace
whose great gain to civilization is yet
unknown and unwritten.
The faith of a Christian nation rec
ognizes the hand of Almighty God in
the ordeal through which we have
passed. Divine favor seemed manifest
everywhere. In lighting for humanitys
sake we have been signally blessed We
did not seek war To avoid IT, if this
could be done in justice and honor to
the rights Of our neighbors and our
| selves, was our constant prayer. The
war was no more invited by us than
were the questions which are laid at
our door by it's results. Now, as then
we will do our duty The problems will
not be solved in a day. Patience will be
required; patience combined with sin
certify of purpose and mistaken reso-
| luton to do right, seeking only the
highest good of the nation and recog-
nizing no other obligation pursuing no
| other path but that of duty. Right ac-
| ton follows right purpose. We may
/ not at all times to be able TO divine the
/ future the way may not always seem
clear, but if our aims are high and un-
selfish, somehow and in some way the
right end will be reached. The genius
of the nation it's freedom, it's wisdom,
it's humanity, it's courage, its justice,
! favored by divine providence, will
make 1T equal TO every task and the
master of every emergency.
