He Lett the Church.

Pendleton, Ore, Sept. 27.-Local church
circles are considerably stirred over the
announcement by Rev. Hugh Miller that
he withdraws from the ministry on ac-
count of being no longer able to remain
with the orthodox church. Before the
members of the Baptist congregation he
made public this statement:
"A week ago read my resignation To-
day l desire to assign the cause. 1t is
simply this: There is a movement now
adays gathering force, called the liberal
movement. This | am compelled to Join,
since | can no longer hold the views OF the
orthodox church. ! am not leaving the
ministry because | do not believe in Je-
sus Christ, in the bible, in church and re-
ligion, but because the doctrines held by
the orthodox church | cannot faithfully
preach and conscientiously endorse in my
pulpit ministrations. Therefore the only
honest course for me to pursue is to step
from the pulpit and make way for some
man who can do this"
To reporter the minister said he had
been earnestly considering the subject for
long time. He had followed the tend
ency in many parts of the east toward
what is called the new or liberal theOl-
ogy and was not in line with the ortho-
doX churches on the divinity of Christ
and other points. He was educated in
Franklin college, Indiana.
The resignation and statement occa-
stoned an affecting scene AS the pastor
ceased speaking he walked down the aisle
and left the church. The congregation
then voted to accept his resignation, and
considered the candidacy of Rev. William
Williams, of Shields, Ore, as successor to
Rev. Miller.

Northern Pacific Debts.

Milwaukee, Sept. .26.-Special Master
Carey has filed a decision in the United
States court of great Importance to the
general creditors of the Northern Pacific
Railway company. Carey finds there is
still due the company, although it has
succeeded in acquiring the entire prop
erty of the Northern Pacific the enor-
nous sum of $S6.292, 6Sl, with interest
from September /.
The only tangible assets of the North
ern Pacific company that remain are the
lands east of the Missouri river in North
Dakota and Minnesota. These lands
are in possession of Receivers Bigelow and
McHenry and are valued at not more
than $lS,OO0,OO0.
The claim which the master allows is
founded upon the proceedings in the sale
of the road. The railroad was bid in by
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
for the nominal sum of $l2,500,0O0, many
times less than the property is actually
worth.

Manila, Sept. 26.-The United States
auxiliary cruiser McCulloch has captured
the insurgent steamer Abbey, formerly
the Pasig, 90 miles south OF Manila The
Abbey, it is believed. had landed 1000
rifles. The insurgent boat followed the
American vessel into Cavite. Now the
Americans contemplate taking possession
of the entire insurgent fleet because the
vessels are flying an unrecognized flag
and are liable to seizure as pirates by
the war vessels of any nation.
The American cruisers have gone north,
where the steamer PHILIPPINES is landing
troops.
Steamers which have Just arrived
brought many Spanish officials and refu-
gees from the southeast part of the isl
and of Luzon. They report that the in
surgents are overrunning the country,
destroying property and the hemp crop.
Sanguinary conflicts have taken place at
Cebu and lloilo.
There has been an outbreak of smallpox
in California regiment here, but only
six cases of mild type are reported.

ments from that time until the present.
To Alger the commission addressed six
questions for his reply, as follows:

be postponed until autumn

termined upon?

Feeding Cubans.

New York, Sept. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
When asked what action would be
taken by this government upon the ap-
peal sent out for food by General Gomez,
Acting Secretary Meikeljohn stated that
the landing of the stores of the Comal
was a reply to that appeal.
1t is expected the Comal will begin by
unloading her stores at Matanzas. and
this cargo will be followed by others as
the necessity develops.
No food will be distributed to men I'M
der arms, so that the force under Gomez
must disband before receiving supplies
This government was at first firm in its
refusal to allow the food to be distrib-
uted to the Cubans otherwise than under
the direction of American officers, as pro-
vided for by the act of congress, but the
agreement now is that it shall be distrib-
uted by third commission to be ap-
pointed by the American and Spanish
military commission.
In explanation of this somewhat anon
alous situation it is said there will be an
American officer on this commission 1t
as said that General Wade in reality will
have full direction of the distribution,
There is no information yet as to the per
sonnet OF the committee.

SAFES WERE BLOWN TO PIECES.
Seven DesperadOes Held Up Train
on kansas Pacific Railroad

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 2b-Seven
masked men held up the west bound Mis-
souri, Pacific passenger train, known as
the Little Rock and Wichita express"
between Leids and Dawson, seven miles
from Kansas City, Friday night. To pre-
vent interference they first smashed the
telegraph instruments at the Belt line
station, the junction of the Belt line and
the Frisco, and marched the operator, ID.
NJ. Hisey, before them to point half a
mile east.
While the two men covered Hisey 9th
ers tagged the train and quickly coy
cred Engineer Slocum and Fireman West
ton and compelled them to dismount and,
detaching the engine and Pacific express
car. ran them down the track a mile and
a half toward Dawson. The passengers
were unmolested.
At desolate spot up the road the bag
gage car was quickly broken into, great
quantities of dynamite placed upon the
through safe and the local safe placed
on top of it. So much explosive was
used that the car was literally blown to
splinters, and the safes were thrown
away to one side of the track. This morn
ing nothing but the fragments OF the To-
cal safe could be found and the through
box was wrecked.
The express officials absolutely refuse
to make a statement OF the loss, saying
simply it was small.
Flying debris from the shattered ex-
press car carried down the telegraph wires
along the Frisco track, which parallels the
Missouri Pacific at the point of the rob-
berry, and completed the stoppage OF tele-
graphic communication begun at the Belt
line station. 1t was, therefore, some
time before news of the robbery became
known and still longer before a wrecking
crew could be secured. A new engine
had to be secured, as that which the
road men had been using had been killed.
1t was 1920 Saturday morning before
the wrecked baggage, which had been
strewn in all directions, was gathered to-
gether, the train made up and the trip
south continued. The robbery was I'M
doubtedly one of the boldest ever commit
ted in this locality so noted for holdups.
Operator Hisey has delivered to the po-
lice a card which he says one of the rob
bers handed him last night. 1t is sign
ed "John Kennedy, Bill Ryan, Bill An
derson, Sam Brown and Jim Redmond, -
and purports to convey the information
that these men were the highwaymen.
