Indianapolis, Ind, July 22.-The work
of the Epworth convention practically
ended today, though but few delegates
will leave before Monday. All the Wis
iting ministers are assigned to fill the
pulpits of the city tomorrow morning.
and at night a farewell conservation
service will finally adjourn the con-
vention.
Early this evening the committee on
resolutions completed it's work, result
ing in the following resolutions, which
were adopted by the convention to-
night:
Resolved. That we congratulate the
country on the passage of the african
teen act which SO accurately repre-
sents the will of the American people.
Its notification by Attorney General
Griggs is viewed with painful solicit
tude and ever-increasing indignation,
and we hereby pledge congress our
hearty support in maintaining it
against the untenable opinion of a sub
ordinate executive officer. We heartily
endorse the union of the temperance
forces by the American Anti-Saloon
League.
I'VE regard the election of polyg-
amist to congress by the state of Utah
can citizen, and an insult to the sane
tity and purity of the Christian home.
We protest against the election of Mr..
Roberts to the house of representativ
and demand that one whose life is so
repugnant to Christian principles should
be expelled from the great law-mak-
ing body.
I'VE favor a federation with other
young peoples societies, both locally
and nationally, through suitably exc
cutive committees. for the promotion
OF Christian citizenship
The Next Meeting Place
A resolution was adopted that in case
satisfactory railroad rates and arrange
ments could not be made for holding the
1901 convention in San Francisco, the
meeting place selection would be
changed.
Temperance" was the tonic of the
night session. and the addresses were
appertaining to this subject. Charles
r. Magee. Boston, presided at the tent
in the place of Governor Shaw. who
was unable to attend the convention.
Total Abstinence and the Pledge
was the subject talked on by DR.. Fred
damon. Chicago: the Rev. James Liv-
ingstone. Windsor. Ont. and the Rev
w. r. Proctor. Portsmouth. Va. Ad-
dresses on Economics of the Drink

Washington and d. d. Thompson Chi
cago.
The Saloon in Politics. was spoken
on by the Rev. F. L. Eaton. Des
Moines, and the Rev. Charles A. Crane,
Boston. Mr.. Crane said, in part:
The church has no worse enemy
than the saloon. How can they walk
together except they agree in politics?
The church has asked for nothing but
the suppression of the saloon. She
has kept her hands off free silver, the
single standard free trade, the high
tariff and the trusts God forgive herr.
though morals may be a part of all
these questions. She has simply asked
for suppression of the saloon. and
politics has made her lie down with the

Dragged Into Politics.

1--WE must keep out of politics. but
we are dragged into politics by the sa-
loon and made to wailow with it. Con-
trolling both great parties. it makes us
slave unless we love our church well
enough to leave these parties.
Il plead for you Methodists to follow
your sentiments, your convictions, your
conscience, and your church on the sa-
loon question. without regard to party
politics. The insolent impudence of pol
itics in taking a sin under its wing and
then presuming to tell the pulpit not
to mention it, is equal only to the
trucking preacher who will take or
ders from political parties.
IF you prefer to sleep with the sa-
loon rather than see the Democrats
or Republicans defeated. go to sleep,
my child / have no words for you
Politics will pull the nose Of the church
just as long as the church will permit.

PROTEST OF FISHERMEN.
Canadians Want to Catch Salmon In
American Waters.

Vancouver. B. c.. July 22.-There is
much Indignation among Canadian salmon
fishermen at what they consider the ar
bitrary action of the United States fishery
officers in Selling a number OF boats and
salmon nets. OBTAINING men at Blaine
several days and confiscating the nets.
The cause is alleged fishing in American
waters. which are nine miles each side of
Point Roberts.
Fishermen complain that there are no
buoys or lights to mark the line. 1t is
claimed that Americans are pursuing the
policy in retaliation for the new alien laws
which prevent Americans from taking out
fishermen's license. The Canadians also
declare that alien fishermen are marrying
the halibut banks in British waters and
DESTROYING the industry. The Canadian
government is being asked to put on a
fast fisheries cruiser and seize American
poacherS.

ment-Absence of Witnesses.

Before an audience that represented
every rank and grade of society, the
preliminary hearing of John H. Ben
brook for Staying Burton C. Morris,
was begun yesterday morning. Justice
James D. Pardee presided and Judge
Norrelrs court room, where the hear
ing was held. was packed with restless
humanity. Benbrook as stolidly une-
motional as an Apache, sat in the CEN
ter of his group of attorneys. Zane IL
Rogers entered the case for him and
made up, with Judge Powers and
Joseph Lippmann. a most imposing ar
ray of legal talent.
Assistant County Attorney Ray Van
Colt essayed the role of David against
the Benbrook Goliath. His chief, Mr..
Putnam, was conspicuously absent and
there was much adverse comment for
the county attorney. Mr. Putnam HE'D
himself away to Brighton early yester-
day morning. His apparent lack of in
terest in the case, coupled with his re-
fusal to allow the employment of as
sistant counsel caused talk of an eX-
tremely uncomplimentary character.
Occupant For Every Seat.
Every seat in the court room had
been taken when Justice Pardee asked
defense and prosecution if they were
ready to proceed. Men predominated IN
the audience, but there was a very
liberal sprinkling of women. The lat
ter class ranged from chemical
blondes to those who looked as if they
might have had too much sense TO Visit
such a place.
Leda Stromberg sat Just inside the
rail with her mother. She manifested
not the slightest sign Of nervousness.
Her eyes wandered all around the room
except in Benbrooks direction and she
seemed to take a lively interest in the

tie and white cuffs with gold link but
tons and q severely plain black skirt
completed the costume. The woman
was undeniably good-looking and knew
it. She was the target for hundreds
of eyes but seemed rather to enjoy the
situation.
Benbrook was neatly attired in
business suit. His cravat was a light
bow. and in the bosom of his blue
barred shirt big diamond stud gloWed
like a tiny taper. He was very much
at his ease as he sat with his lawyers
smilingly exchanging comment with

Washington. July 22.-Elihu Root of
New York has accepted Lhe war port
folio in President McKinley's cabinet
The telegram of acceptance was re-
ceived shortly after noon. while Secre-
Secretary Alger had just left.
The tender of the war portfolio was
made to Mr.. Root last night after the
conference a the White House. AS the
president will leave for the Adiron-
dacks Wednesday or Thursday of next
week, il is hardly probable that Mr..
Root will come to Washington to confer
with him before that time. 1t is re-
garded as more likely that Mr.. Root
will meet the president at Lake Cham
plain the latter part of the week.
The announcement of Mr.. Roots ap-
pointment was made at the war depart-
ment. 1t was stated that Senator Plat
came to Washington last evening
armed with authority from Mr.. Root
to accept in his name the war port
folio. 1t is not expected that the ac-
ceptance will make any change in the
plans of Secretary Alger and he will
remain here until the end of the pres
ent month. being assisted by Mr.. Neil
keljohn, who is expected to reach
Washington this afternoon
Alger Wanted Root.
Secretary Alger had confidently eX-
pected the appointment of Mr.. Root.
and was very much pleased at the
presidents choice. This was evidenced
in the following letter which Secretary
Alger addressed yesterday to his sue
ceSSOr:

Dear Mr.. Root: All know is what the
newspapers say. that YOU are to sue
coed me as secretary of war. Should
it come to you l most earnestly urge
you to make the sacrifice and accept
the position. With your knowledge Of
law and your excellent health yau can
serve the country in a way given to
few men. Sincerely yours.

Secretary Alger this afternoon ad-
dressed the following telegram to Mr..

WHO THE NEW SECRETARY IS.
Has Been Prominent In New York
For Many Years.

: New York. July 22.-Elihu Root was

hearing with keen attention that was
almost painful.
Keeue the Principal Witness.

Steve Keene, proprietor of the restau-
rant, was the principal witness of the
day, an early adjournment being neces-
STATED by some misunderstanding con-
corning the attendance of witnesses.
His testimony did not differ materially
from his statement as previously pub
lished. as to the main events connected
with the tragedy.
One statement from keene was
that ne had made no effort to regain
possession of the gun after having
found out from Benbrook's manner and
statements that he wanted it to protect
himself from Morris. Notwithstanding
the fact that Benbrook had the gun he
made no effort to put him out. but went
after Morris. because "Benbrook said
Morris was making trouble.
There was, however, nothing in
Keene's testimony to indicate that he
had the slightest idea of Benbrook's
real purpose in securing the gun. The
evidence showed simply that he acted
impulsively.
oh, was a id FOOL said he after
he had come from the stand.

Sympathy For Alger.

Washington, July 22-Secretary Al
ger is in receipt of great number of
letters and kilograms from persons in
every station in life. all touching upon
his retirement from the cabinet. So
numerous are communications on this
subject that the secretary finds him
self physically unable to make proper
separate responses to all of them.
therefore he has requested the AssO-
ciated Press to convey TO the writer's
and senders an acknowledgment of his
deep appreciation of the sentiments ex-
pressed.
