ANOTHER BATTLE GROUND.

New York, Dec. IA cable to the
Sun from London says: While British
soldiers have been fighting in two re-
gions of Africa two able civilians have
been comfortably engaged in Rome in
making arrangements which, in all
probability, will never be put into
practical effect without more desperate
blood letting. Commissioner MARITIME,
in behalf of Italy, and James Rodl,
representing England in Egypt, have
put into diplomatic form an Anglo
Italian understanding in regard to
their frontiers in a part of Africa most
of which is claimed by Emperor Meme
LEX So far as can be ascertained, ne
gotiations have been carried on with a
total disregard of the existence of
Menelek, the assumption being that he
no longer has aspirations for territor-
ial expansion, and has even reconciled
himself to Italian occupation of terri
tory once belonging to Abyssinia.
Time will show how big is the mistake
that has been made.
The Anglo-Italian convention adds
to the Italian possessions Erythrea, n
vast tract of territory, while England
finally takes absolute possession of
Kassala. Each contracting party binds
itself to give military assistance to
the other in case of attack from any
quarter.
Menelek is importing arms and am
munition. drilling troops and paying
large sums to expert instructors. There
are now $4,000 Abyssinians under arms
and $4,000 more prepared.

HANNA TALKS OF PROSPECTS.

Washington, Dec. 3.--Senator Hanna
reached Washington tonight from New
York. Discussing forthcoming legis-
lation, he said he was confident that
Congress would enact a currency re-
form law early In the session. He be-
iieved the law would be composite
measure of the House and Senate bills.
The House bill is not wholly satisfac-
tory, and il Is probable the Senate bill
would require modification before be-
ing acceptable to majority of the
Republican members, who are not in
sympathy with the Senate opposition
to The Presidents plan impounding
greenbacks to break the so-called end
less chain.
A shipping subsidy bill, Hanna said.
would be introduced in both houses
this year. as It was last. and appear
In the amended form agreed upon at
the last session. It will carry a pro-
vision limiting the amount of subsidy
in any one year to 100000. He
avoided committing himself on the
question of seating Quay, but it Is
practically certain that both he and
Foraker will vote to seat Quay. For
aker frequently stated that he believes
the Constitution did not contemplate
that any State be deprived of full rep
rcsentatiun in the Senate. and there

ST. Louis, Nov. 2S.-The Methodist
Episcopal Church Congress today took
up the history of THE Forward Move
ment in Europe"
The paper on THE Forward Move
ment in Europe" was read by Prof. A..
II. Briggs of Denver. Prof. Briggs as
serted that London, with all its boast
ed civilization and wealth, was hea-
then city. The success the gospel is
making in what Prof. Briggs termed
dead London" typifles the march OF
Christian progress sin Europe, he said.
Prof. Briggs was followed by the
Rev. p. II. Swift, ID. d., of Chicago, on
Problems of Religious Life in the
City" Indifference said DR.. Swift,
lis the curse of our present day. Our
intense commercialism Is the thing
which prevents a profound revival Of
religion"
The Rev. S. Hopkins, d. D.. pas
tor of st. Johns Southern Methodist
Church of st. Louis, followed DR.. Swift
in the discussion of this problem of
religious life in the city. DR.. Hopkins
took more optimistic view Of the sit
uation.

min +. de Costa, who resigned from
the Protestant Episcopal ministry in
September, has embraced the Roman
Catholic faith. At o'clock this
morning he formally received the COM
munion of the Catholic church at the

QUAY Feeling Shaky.

Washington, Dec. 5.--There is q
great deal of fencing in the Senate
over the Quay case. Several Demo-
Gratis counted on by Quay to support
his claim to seat are wavering under
the compulsion of the fact that the pc
Sitions from Democrats and Republi-
cans of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
constituting a majority of the Legisla-
ture. made it apparent that the one

nounced against Is the representation

Senate by Quay.
IL Quay's friends had felt as con-
ident of having a majority of the SEN

have been here, II is alleged, TO claim
the seat on the opening day. The fact
that he was not here is regarded as
evidence of his failure to receive all
the support he expected. Both Vest
and Morgan, on whose friendship Quay
counted to give him their votes, are
said TO be uncertain quantities with
the probability that they will not vote

avow opposition to Bryan OF the plat

tions are unnecessary and the method
undemocratic. They will insist that
the national convention should be free,
and that the delegates should not be
sent there with their work already cut
out for them, with no option themselves
in the matter.
Along this line the anti.Bryan peo.
pie figure out where they can secure
votes enough TO seriously interfere with
the plans Of Mr.. Bryan, if not to de-
feat him They expect to control at
