A prominent business man in west
ern city, says an exchange, has created
commotion by leaving church with
which he had been connected for twen-
ty years, giving as his reason for doing
so the reasons which follow:
"Thc great beauty of the church; a
minister who was attractive, both n
the pulpit and at dinner parties; the
amount of money spent on quartet
choir; and the apparent antagonism
between the services of the church and
the life Of its members, and the teach
ings OF Christ in the sermon on the
mount"
There is much food for reflection in
this action. May it not be that just
such things as took this man out Of
the church keep many outsiders from
coming in? Do noFS many churches
depend upon world-culture for success
rather than upon the spirituality pro-
duced by the indwelling Word and the
guidance of the Holy Spirit? How
can a church which is afraid to trust
Gods means of drawing sinners in
slst on sinners trusting Christ's means
of saving the soul? At any rate, q
worldly church is hardly able to save
worldly sinners. Gospel News.

WASHINGTON
LETTER.
A WEEKLY REsUKE OF EVENTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
News From samoa-No Serious Trouble
Anticipated-Renew of Relations with
spain-News from the PHILIPPINES Dis
couraging.

Washington, April IA, 1s99.-Presi-
dent Mckinley was as much grieved as
any man in Washington when the news
was received that a party of American
and British had been ambushed by the
natives on the island of Samoa and an
American lieutenant and British lieu
tenant and five marines killed, but he
did not share in the excitement which
prevailed for time; he accepted as
sincere the prompt disapproval of re-
sponsibility made by the German am
bassador on behalf of his government
and declined to be carried off his feet
by the newspaper talk of German
treachery' in connection with the am
buscade, although he will take the
necessary steps to see that the matter
is thoroughly investigated. There is no
denying that this ambuscade came at
an unfortunate time. Although it will
not necessarily prevent an amicable
settlement of the whole Samoan dis
pute, it may greatly delay it. 1t had
been expected that the commissioners
representing the United States, Eng
land and Germany would start for Sa-
moa this week, but there is now hitch
in the programme and matters have
not been improved by statement is
sued from the German embassy in
Washington rejecting upon the mo-
tiyes of the British government. As
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, re-
marked, it is inconceivable that this
insignificant group of islands should
cause war between any two of the
three governments which are parties
to the treaty for their control. OF
course, if investigation shall show that
Germans had any uart in planning that
murderous ambuscade, Germany will
be held no strict accountability Dy
this government, and doubtless also by
Great Britain.
The United States is not giving Spain
any room to say that we are slow in
resuming diplomatic relations that
were dissolved by the war. AS soon as
copies of the treaty ofp eace were ex'
changed and the president had official
ly proclaimed peace, Spain was noti-
fed that the $2O,OOO,OOO called by the
treaty was subject to its orders, and
the announcement semi-officially made
that Hon. Bellamy Storer, now United
States minister to Belgium, had been
selected as our minister to Spain, and
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1899-1900, 1899-04-19

would proceed to Madrid as soon as
Spain appointed minister to the Unit
ed States. There are several reasons
why the selection of Mr.. Storer as min
lister should be pleasing to Spain, The
principal of which is that he is a Cath
Ole. The new minister to Spain will
have important duties to perform, as
all of the commercial treaties between
the two countries whic were abrogated
by the war will have to be replaced by
new treaties.
1t is thought that this week will COM
plete the taking of evidence by the mil
itary court of inquiry, The most prom
inent witnesses of the week were Gen
erals Shafter and Chaffee, and their
testimony was strikingly alike so far
as it related to the meat issued to the
army in Cuba. Neither heard any ofii-
cial complaints nor any sensational
stories about the meat until after their
return to the United States, and both
thought that the army was as well sup
piled as existing circumstances would
permit. President Mckinley gave a
dinner in General Skaters honor this
week.
The news from the Philippinesthis
week has been somewhat disappoint-
ing. Not from any lack of success on
the part of our gallant soldiers, but be-
cause it has been found necessary to
continue the fighting, and that Aguin-
aldo should still be able to get suffi-
cient force together to be attacked
again and again. although driven away
from everywhere they have attempted
to make a stand. There has also been
disquieting news of the treachery Of
professedly friendly Filipinos within
our lines, (which does not promise well
for the future.
When your commercial rivals com
mend your methods you have the
strongest proof .attainable that you
are on the right road. A report of a
German imperial commissioner on the
emigration from Germany in 1898, just
published and cabled to Washington,
contains this strong commendation of
the republican tariff policy: "The
strong tendency towards the United
States in spite of immigration having
been rendered more difficult, finds an
explanation in the fact that American
industry has largely developed in con-
sequence of the Dingley tariff, and that
the demand for experienced artisans has
therefore greatly increased. Moreover,
German manufacturers have, in order
to save the customs duties, established
branch houses of their works in the
United States"
A report just made by Col. Bingham,
the custodian of public buildings and
grounds, show that since the Washing
ton monument was thrown open to the
public 1,654,722 persons have visited the
top.

WHY he DIDN'T BID UP.
Ths Unfortunate Plight OF a VINO
Haa . Weakness for
Auction Sales.

There wac q red flag out In front Of a
farmhouse up In the Swift river region
IN Oxford the other day when Burns
was driving past the place. He can
never get by an auction sale. Thereis
something about a bargain at vendue
that strikes him Just where he lives
DO Burns hitched his horse and stopped
on the outskirts Of the crowd. He re-
membered that at the last auction he
attended he bought two pod aueers
and an OK yoke, and this time he
ateeled himself lest he might commit
similar egregiousness. In fact, he con
cluded that he wouldn't bid at oil.
But when the crowd got well walked
up over a Jersey heifer Burns Clipped
IN a bid or two, and finally got to 60.
ing hard against a administered man
who carried a whip 10 his left hand
and expeetorated violently after every
bid.
As the contest waxed somewhat en-
ergetc Burns reached for his pocket
book, His fingers ran down and down
Into his trousers pocket until they slid
into a good big hole. His pocketbook
was gone. You who have found holes
In your pockets where wallets ought.

He stopped bidding, and while IN.

THE CAPTURE OF MANILA.
II Was Accomplished by n Special Ar
rangement with the Gov
ernor-GeDeraI.

Back OF the bombardment OF the city
there is a Circumstance which has not
yet come TO light. Soon after the re-
duction OF cavite, Gov. Gen. August
offered to surrender the city, but the
offer, made on conditions, was not ac-
cepted by Admiral Dewey. After the
arrival OF our army OF occupation thi.
offer was again renewed, and finally
through the Belgian consul was made
unconditional. But the surrender OF
the city without a struggle would place
Gen. August in III favor with his gov.
ernment. Accordingly II was arranged
that our feet should open up fire on
the forts, and shortly the white Gag
would be hoisted. So In the lombard
inent only the forts we're fred upon
Pnd the destruction of these batteries
attest TO the perfect gunnery Of our
Zee. Only the Olympia, Raleigh, Con-
cord, McCulloch and Calloa, the lat.
ter q gunboat captured from the Span
iards, participated In the lombard
ment. As the white flag was not run
up as agreed, a boat was sent in from
our fleet 10 learn why the agreement
was not carried out. and 1t was found
that Gen. Augusti, fearing his own SOL
diery, was awaiting the arrival Of our
forces. The land attack was made al
most simultaneously with that Of the
fleet, and soon u troops marched
into the city. Only Old Manila made
any show Of resistance, and there we
sustained u only losses. In the pres
ence of our feet the guns Of the forts
dared not speak.
By evening the city was completely
In our control, and for the first time in
w months the people Of Manila had
q night Of rest and sleep. The occupa.
ton of Manila by our army was unac.
~compsnied by any pomp or show.
Neither was there any molestation of
private property. When Cavite fell
1t was looted by the insurgents and a
scene OF carnage ensued before our
marines could be landed. Hundreds of
natives had enlisted In the ~Insurgent
army and served without pay, with the
one hope OF participating In the loot
Ing OF Manila. When the city fell they
were excluded unless unarmed, and
thus the scenes Of horror enacted at
Cavite were averted.-William Gilbert
Irwin, In Chautauquan.
