CONFESSES HE SINNED.

Rev. Charles O.. Brown Makes q State.
ment to the hay Conference.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 26.-After two
years Of denials and protestations that
he was innocent of the sensational
charges brought against him while pas
tor Of the First Congregational church
in this city, the Rev. Charles o. Brown
has appeared before the Bay conference
and withdrawn his former answer to
its citation, and confessed that he had
lot told the truth and that some Of the
charges against him were true. After
the confession was read, there was q
further hearing. and a long discussion,
at the end Of which DR.. Brown was
unanimously dropped from the Bay
conference, but the members extended
TO the repentant pastor their personal
sympathy. In his confession he says
he has asked hat his name be dropped
from the roll Of the Chicago association.
No Details Given.
Browns confession (which is a type
written statement of about 1000 words,
does not 60 into details. 1t simply adj
ml,s he has sinned. After withdraw.
ing his former reply to the Bay confer
ence, DR.. Brown says:
"A small part OF the sensation against
me was true. For II wrong that l
have done l have sought forgiveness
both of God and man. l had turned
utterly and with Adherence from it
long before l was publicly accused.
Such We're the conditions prevailing in
San Francisco, such was the storm that
threatened, overcome for the time with
unworthy fear, l denied any wrong,
lest all should be believed"
Continuing the confession, he says:
Il confess to Dubuque and Chicago
associations that l did them g~rievous
wrong in accepting fellowship of the
one aud seeking nat of the other. l
herewith request that my name be
dropped from the roll Of the Chicago
association"
Brown then goes on to say that he
hopes his suffering may be a lesson Of
righteousness to others. He declares
that he had found in Chicago peace
and happiness, except from the tortures
OF conscience.

The exports OF raw cotton to Japan
during the last four months SHOW an
increase of more than 800 per cent. in
comparison with corresponding period
Of 1896, and the same increase is shown
during December. This enormous
increase is due to contracts that have
recently been made by the new japanese
steamship line running to Puget sound
with I e cotton manufacturers of Tokyo.
Osaka and other japanese cities. These
contracts run for a term Of years, the
steamship compan! agreeing to deliver
"a certain number of bales every year for
a stated price over and above the market
quotations. In tue London market in
December. 1896, only $500 bales We're
shipped from Puget sound. La Decem-
Der. 1897, /, .640 bales were shipped.
DurI nefour months since the new
crop the shipments have been 3l.493
ba.es. as against 1000 bales during the
corresponding period of 1896. There has
also been d sIlght gain of 1900 bales in
the shipments from San Francisco.

Miuuesota Indians Not Satisfied With the
Disposal of Pine.

Miuuesota Indians Not Satisfied With the
Disposal of Pine.
WALKER, Mimi, Jan. 26. The de.
lay and expense attending the DISPOSE.
ton of the standing timber on the sew.
sral reservations has caused widespread
dissatisfaction among the Indians, who
are supposed to be the beneticiaries OF
these sales.
The manner in which the timber on
the Red Lake reservation was sold has
not been satisfactory to anyone except
the purchasers. The method Of lump.
ing off large tracts of timber to the
highest bidder gives rise to the grave
apprehension that a powerful syndicate
controls the bidding, thereby keeping
the prices below what they should be.
Now that the Leech lake pine is soon
to come into market the Indians are
awakening to the fact that if the same
methods are pursued as in the sale OF
the Red lake timber they will receive
no benefit from it whatsoever, hence
they are properly bestiring themselves
for the adoption Of a more equitable
hui Of disposing of their timber.
The plan most favored by them is to
allow them to cut their own timber, or
contract with white men to do So, and
the timber, when so cut, to be sold at
the bank scale at market values. In
order to bring this about they are now
circulating a petition addressed to
Congressman Eddy, asking him to Sc
cure the necessary legislation to carry
out their views.
