ity among biblical students. In 1923 he

He founded an orphan asylum, a university

Newman made a tour Of the world under ap
pointment Of General Grant. His CONNER
ciar reports were very highly esteemed. on
his return he was again assigned TO the
Metropolitan church, Washington. In 1877
he was transferred to the Central church,
New York City. AS a result of the last tour
around the world Harper Bros. published
volume by DIR. Newman called Babylon
and Nineveh," which secured for DR.. New

illogical society of London. He received the
degree LII. ID. from the Grant Memorial
university. After publishing several i'm
portant works he again went into the min
istry firing important pulpits in Baltimore,

of commanding presence and his strong clas-
tellectuaity, great determination and
genial spirit governing a we'll balanced and
judicial mind Some of his orations have
been considered among the most eloquent
produced in this country. His oration on
Grant is worthy of special mention as pow
erful and beautiful combination OF rhetoric
and oratory.

with Satisfaction.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The news from
The Hague announcing the unanimous vote
of the peace conference in favor of holding
a special conference hereafter TO discuss the
freedom from seizure OF private property at
sea in time OF war is source of great salts
faction to the administration. The Ameri-
can delegates had more interest in this
question than any other, perhaps, before the
conference. There have been times during
the sessions OF the peace conference at
which It appeared that this subjeta would be
passed over without favorable action and
the officials had almost given up hope of
anything in that direction being accom-
plished.
Secretary Hay was shown copy OF the
dispatch tonight. He regarded II as a sub
stsntial victory for the advanced position the
American government has taken on this
matter, as the news indicated that the con-
ference had accepted the principle involved.

p Newman of the Methodist Episcopal
church of San Francisco died at 2:30 o'clock

physicians announced that in all probability
he would not survive the day. The imme-
diate cause of death was pneumonia and
myelitis.
At o'clock this afternoon his pulse was
hardly perceptible. The physicians in at
tendance recognized that the end was near
and relatives and immediate friends were
summoned to the bedside The bishop be-
came conscious before his death and recog
nized his wife Mrs T. S. Grant, Mrs f.
d. Grant and others arrived at the scene a
moment or so later.
Mrs. Newman is almost crushed by her
bereavement. Inasmuch as she Is in com
paratively feeble health it is beiieved she
will not long survive her husband. Tele-
grams and cablegrams OF sympathy are COM
ing from all points tonight. A dispatch
from Bishop Randolph Foster at Roxbury,

be permitted to ascend the rivers and at
points inaccessible to them to use their
launches and yawl boats, and at the same
time provide for the distribution of 10000

suggest that you wire the secretary of war

doubtless other communities will proceed
with the work of relief to the full extent
of their means. | await your action and
