But Universalist Conference Would
Not Indorse His Joke.

Boston, oct. 25--At the JTniVersalist
conference today a resolution was
adopted that the board of trustees OF
the convention he instructed to revive
the committee on the increase of the
ministry and that it shall be the busl-
ness of this committee to labor, not
only to increase the number of students

such students are men of natural abl-
ity, strict integrity of character, of the
best possible training and entire con-
secration to the service of the Univer-
salist church.
1t was also decided to appoint a COM
mittee of five to consider plans for a
uniform service of worship. the report
to be made at the next general confer

EUROPE WILL

Belief That Great Britain Is on the

tion-Remarkable Military and
Naval Activity Have No Special
Bearings on England's European
Relationship Nations Neutral.

London. Oct. 25.--Thc belief that
Great Britain is on the verge Of a
crisis, or even a conflict far greater
than that in the Transvaal, has many
Supporters, though the lack of all Of
fetal confirmation favors the conser-
yative view that the remarkable mill
tary and naval activity Is due to n
desire to take thorough precautions
and that the warlike preparations,
though ominous, have at the present
time no special bearing on Great Brit
aims European relations. Advices
from the continent strengthen that
| view. For instance, the Fremdenbatt,
| of Vienna, today says:
Nothing points to the eventual in
! tervcntion of Europe in favor of the
| Beers"
The paper adds that Germany es-
| pecially has resolved mot to depart
! from her attitude of neutrality"
1t is said Lnat Rear Admiral Lord

naval stations are coming fast.
The Associated Press learns however,
that whether or not Great Britain

gression, the naval preparations have
been under consideration for several
| months, and it was the admiralty's
intention to put them in force as soon
as war with the Transvaal had been
declared, deeming it necessary to in
crease the active strength of the navy
in order to ensure the large fleet of
transports against every possible con-
tingency. Whether later developments
have transformed the admiralty's
precautionary measures into prepara-
tions for a naval demonstration nee
essitated by European hostility is the
question of the hour and it is as much
Il mystery to many high naval officers
as to the public.
The most significant action in the
promulgation of the order for the ma
val reserves to be in readiness to re-
JOIN their ships at twenty-four hours
notice, and for all the cruisers of the
reserve class to be ready to sail in the
same time limit. Those vessels
though at the dock yards, are never
out of commission and are always
supposed to be ready for immediate
manning.

CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE.
Will Prosecute Those Who Desired
Campaign Contributions.

New York, Oct. 25.-A statement was
given ont today by George McAneny,
secretary of the National Civil Ser
vice Reform league in which he says:
THE National Civil Service Reform
league has addressed a letter to the
civil service commission asking that
steps be taken to secure the nrOSecu-
ton of the federal officers and others
responsible for the action of the Ohio
Republican state committee in send
ing appeals for political contributions,
to government employees throughout
the country. The chairman of the COM
mittee in question is Congressman
Charles Dick, of the Nineteenth Ohio
district"
In this letter to the Civil Service
commission it is alleged that the let
ters to government employees were
printed on letter heads of the finance
committee and it is pointed out that
these letters explicitly state that the
money solicited is 70 he applied to use
OF the full committee of which Mr..
Dick is chairman.
1t is alleged further that the circula.
has been sent to thousands of govern
ment subordinates in all parts of the
country, including even clerks and 9TH
er minor employees i'm the New York
custom house.

be removed to prevent tragedy, and
as soon as possible, or rather desir-

separted from the small, so that with
all peril removed the young fish may

PAN GERMAN PROTEST.
Three Thousand Members Protest
Against Transvaal War.


Berlin, oct. 25.--At a meeting Of
5000 members of the Pan German and
Anti-Semite league at Hamburg today
called to protest against the Trans
vaal war dispatch was sent to EN-
peror William full of solemn patriotic
effusions and urging him to intercede
in behalf of the Beers and postpone
his journey to England.
The Vbssische Zeitung, comenting
on this says:
Vigorous protests should be made
against passionate and maleVolent
treatment of the war which gives COL
or to the idea that the Germans can
not do enough to show their enmity
for Great Britain. The majority in
this country have nothing in common
with the Anglophobia in which the
Hamburg meeting waded."
The paper then quotes Prince Bis
marks dictum that Great Britain's
friendship is more useful to Germany
than the whole valley of the Nile and
pyramids, adding:
HAD Bismarck been an English
minister he would have acted toward
the Beers like the English government
has done"
The Berliner Neust Nachrlchten de-
scribes President Steyn's proclama-
tion as a false step that may have
serious results"
The Kolnische Zeitung pays trib-
ute of gallantry to the British officers,
pointing out that the German loss in
the battle of Spicheren only four and
a half per cent. were officers while at
Glencoe and Elandslaagat the Eng
lish officers killed and wounded was
14B per cent. of the total loss.
