DR.. Hills Delivers His First Ser.
mon at Plymouth Church.

NEW YORK, Jan 15.-There was an
actual crush before the opening of the
doors of the Plymouth Church, Brook
lyn, this morning of people determined
to hear Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills.
formerly of Chicago, deliver his first
sermon in the edifice. The gathering
in its different phases brought forcibly
to mind the days Of Henry Ward
Beecher, and DR.. Hills more ardent
friends are delighted beyond express
sion. When DR.. Lyman Abbott. the re-
tiring pastor, opened the services at
1920 every pew and gallery seat was
filled and the extra chairs in the lower
aisles We're as eagerly taken. People
stood five and six deep in the rear
aisles and there was a line of listeners
standing along the walls and spacious
side aisles. 1t was probably the largest
attendance since the Beecher period.

missioners from Glasgow arrived OH the
ST. Louis to-day to lay before Presi-
dent Mckinley and his Cabinet particu-
lars regarding the Glasgow exhibition
to be held in 1901. They are R. Craw-

appointed Commissioners by the Lord
Provost of that city. They are accom-
panied by j. N. Smith, editor of the

Crawford is the Chairman of the fine
arts and archaeology department of the

Chairman of the building, lights and
grounds department and Michael ST.

tertainment department.
I'VE have come over to assure Amer
ican representation at the exhibition, y
said Mr.. Crawford. eve wish to
obtain representation from those hand
ling labor saving machinery and those
engaged in commercial and industrial
enterprises. We believe we will gain
the sympathy, If not the active CO.
operation, of the United States Govern
ment in the exhibition. The affair will
be largely due to the sympathy obtain
ed in this country. It is to be held the
year Of the Paris exposition, and we
are hopeful Of having many Of the
American exhibits at the former city
sent to Glasgow. They will be stored
at the expense Of the city. We are not
assisted by the Government of Great
Britain, but by the local authorities.

GERMAN MANUFACTURES.
Claim That Export Trade is De-
stroyed for That Country.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times" says: The
Cologne Gazette" commenting upon
the decision of the United States SUI
preme Court regarding cotton velvet,
says the rule will, of course, be applied
to all German manufactures, so that it
will be useless in the future for Ger
man manufacturer to produce his goods
in bond with view of saving the duty
on raw material. The article concludes:
To put it briefly, imports to America
are forbidden and the export trade is
destroyed, at least for countries which,
like Germany and France, must pay
considerable duties upon the raw ma
terial they import
For a country which, like England,
does not impose a duty on raw ma
terial. the decision, in the opinion of
the Cologne Gazette" cannot be re-
garded as bad news, inasmuch as, for
once, extreme protection would seem to-
have done free trade a good turn in
the course of the internecine war Of
protectionist countries.

pressed at the acceptance by General
