Argument for Design Helpfully Dis

Argument for Design Helpfully Dis
cussed.
Professor Luther Of Trinity college,
Hartford, gave the second OF his series
of lectures on Christian Faith in the
Light of Modern Views of the Natural
World,' in Trinity churcl, yesterday
afternoon. Professor Luther spoke
briefly on "The Earlier and Later Ar
gument for Design" The earlier
schools of thought taught that the
world was created by God in brief
period of time To-day we have been
taught to see that the world has been
long ages in reaching the condition
which we see it has to-day But in all
this change, these processes Of crea-
ton, we see and feel that these must
have been designed. We cannot be-
lieve that all these things come about
by chance. In this system of evolution
if we please to call it such-the high
er senses of man are being evolved.
The senses of the civilized man are in
the main more susceptible than those
of the savage. We look, but we do not
see the throne of God. We listen, but
we do not hear His voice. But who
shall say that we are not developing
some sense finer than any of the physi-
cal senses which we now possess with
which we shall discern these spiritual
truths.

BRITISH STEAMER STRANDS.
Tho Gleadowe Bound from Delaware
Brenkwnter to Norfolk.

Norfolk, va, March 4.--The British
steamer Gleadowe, bound from Della
ware Breakwater light to Norfolk for
cargo, stranded two miles south of
Cape Henry life saving station at noon
to-day during gale which was blow
ing fifty miles an hour from the north
east 1t is supposed that the ship must
have become unmanageable as the
weather was clear at the time. She
was commanded by Captain Harris of
England and had a crew of twenty
three men. All of them were taken
off with the breeches buoy by the crew
of Cape Henry life saving station. The
vessel is pretty well up on the beach,
but is still in good condition. Captain
Harris is here making arrangements
to get her off. She lies about fifty
yards off shore and as the storm is rap
idly abating there is a strong proba-
bility that she can be fioated without
serious damage.

NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY
AFTER TWO P0STPONEMENTS IT
LEAVES FOR HATANA.

OF the Six Days Spent at Key West Only
Three Were Devoted to the Work of
is by No Means Prepared to Render a
Decisive Verdict.
Key West, Fla, March 4.-After two
postponements the court of inquiry
left for Havana this morning on the
lighthouse tender Mangrove. 1t is be-
lieved by the best informed here that
the court will complete it's labors in
the Cuban capital within ten days.
Only three of the six days the court
was here were devoted to the work of
investigation. The inactivity of yes
terday and to-day is still unexplained,
except by semi-official statement that
Rear Admiral Sicard was awaiting in
structions from Washington. The ses-
sions, it is generally understood, de-
veloped no evidence by which the court
could definitely determine the cause Of
the explosion.
a llctN etl OllltCl III ClOSC tOuCll Will lllc
members of the court said to this cor
respondent with one exception the
witnesses who testified here were
Maine survivors. The evidence, though
in most cases taking longer to tell,
can be summed up in the words of an
enlisted man, who, when Judge Advo-
cate Mark asked him what he knew
about the explosion replied: Sir, I was
blowed up; was saved, and I'm here
That was all he could answer to-" One
important fact has been learned, how
ever. 1t is this, although the members
of the court may have their individual
theories, they are by no means pre-
pared as a body to render a decisive
verdict. The officer already quoted,
said:
IF the court has yet heard any tes-
timony which would enable it to de-
eide intelligently that the Maine was
blown up from external causes, | am
the most mistaken man in the world.
Before the coming Havana sessions are
over it may secure such evidence and
possibly find the blowing up was inten-
tional. 1t will learn from the divers
LIE dCludl CDuullloH VI lilc snip dltel
the explosion, as it has already learn
ed from the survivors most of the de-
tails of the ships condition before the
explosion. With these bases thorough
ly established the court will hear more
expert testimony and then reach a ver-
dict"
This statement can be taken as more
| worthy of reliance than that of the
Maine officer who said the other day
he believed the court was bound on
| evidence already heard to find the
cause of the explosion external. It's
conservatism is also at variance with
the opinions of many other naval Off
GERS here, especially those of the
younger set and directly contrary to
| the belief of most Of the Maine sur
vivors that their ship was Intentionally
blown up. Before sailing tonight Cap
| tain Simpson had a long consultation
] with Admiral Sicard.

BENJAMIN O. LUM ARRESTED
BY Detective McGrath Last Night on n
Warrant Charging Embracery.

Warrant Charging Embracery.
Benjamin C. Lum was arrested at
1880 o'clock last evening at his home,
19 Compton street, by Detective Nc
Grath on a warrant issued by City At
torney Brown. The warrant specifies
two counts, one for conversing with
Juror Todd and the other for attempt
ing to influence him in favor of Henry
White and Daisy Wood in the trial of
their appeals from probate Mr.. Lum
was released on bonds of $400 furnished
by G.. B. Gilbert, and was not locked
up.
1t was reported last night that a
warrant had been issued for Juror
Todd under section 1,5oO of the general
statutes. City Attorney Brown stated,
however, that warrant had not vet
been issued for Mr.. Todd, but refused
to say whether or not a warrant would
be issued for Mr.. Todd to-day. Juror
Todd has not yet drawn his witness
fees for the Clayton will case, amount
ing to $S5, and it is said that
Judge Wheeler had directed the clerk
Of the superior court to withhold the
check as Mr.. Todd had spoiled the case
by talking. The clerk Of the court de-
MES, however, that he has been so in
structed by the judge. Mr.. Lum's
friends say that he had no criminal
intent in talking to Juror Todd about
the case. They say tnat@he and Mr..
Todd were old friends and it did not
occur to him that Mr.. Todds duty as
q juror would prevent him from talk
ing about the case.

CALM IN MADRID.
It Is In Striking Contrast to the Clamor In
America.

1t Is In Striking Contrast to the Clamor In
America.
London, March 5.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says: 'In
contrast with the clamor in America
there is almost absolute calm here and
that, too, even on the bourse, where
the falls are due to foreign selling. The
general opinion is that the United
States dare not make the Maine sus-
picion, which is unsupported by evil
dence and is abhorred by European
opinion, the pretext for war. The dis
tress in various parts of the country
occupies the public mind far more than
American relations. Notwithstanding
the reduction in the grain duty a fam
Inc threatens. The socialists are utiliz-
ing the dearth, under the guise of cleo
tioneering, as a means of fomenting
popular agitation; and it would require
some overt act of injustice on the part
of America to divert public sentiment" +"

100000 COMBINATION.
Steel Wire-Rod and Nail Manufacturers
Have Consummated II Deal.

Have COnSummated Deal.
New York, March 4-The plan for
combination of the steel wire rod and
nail manufacturers, which has been
under consideration for the past six
months, was practically consummated
at a meeting held in the Waldorf AS
toria hotel in this city to-day. The
combination will represent about ST.
000, 900 in capital. The name selected is
1.-THE American Steel and Wire COM
pany." The largest steel wire and rod
companies in the country to the num-.
Der of fifteen will be in the combina
ton. There are only five concerns en-
gagged in the manufacture of steel wire
rod and nails throughout the entire
United States which are not in the
combination. Although j. Z. Garry of
Chicago, who is the leading man in the
consolidation thus far, would not con-
sent to mention the names of the OBJ
durate concerns after the meeting he
said that they We're located in Oregon,
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York.
The headquarters will be located
either In New York or Chicago. 1t is
possible that the choice Of one Of these
two cities will be made at the meeting
tomorrow when, some final legal ques-
tions relative to the new combination
are to be settled. The final meeting of
the projectors of the combination will
be held on April /. At that time Off
GERS will be selected, George Il. Oliver
nN +clN no nod a Ian l.
ing candidate for president. The inter
ests to be represented in the combine
include the Cleveland Rolling mills,
American Wire company, Horsepower
Nail company and Baacke's works of
the Consolidated Steel and Wire COM
pany, all of Pittsburg. The other con-
Germs are scattered throughout Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Ohio. Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts. Phillip w. Mowen of
Worcester, Mass, representing the
great Washburn- Mowen plant, a very
important factor in the combine, has
taken prominent part in the meetings
that have been held almost daily for a
week past. J. P. Morgan & Co. of this
city, Judge Gary stateH would be un-
derwriters for a considerable block of
the capital He also announced that it
was the purpose of the projectors of
the combine to provide steel wire rod
and nail at a much lower figure than
heretofore. The concern, it is said, will
produce about one million tons of iron
annually. 1t will operate it's own
mines, which are located principally in
the west and owned by several of this
companies in the combine.
