Two new bishops were the guests of
honor at the banquet of the Church Club
of the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota at
the West Hotel last night They were
Bishops Morrison of Iowa, and Edsall, of
North Dakota. Bishops Gilbert, of Min
nesota, Nicholson, of Milwaukee, Grafton,
of Fond du Lac, Morrison, of Duluth, and
Hare, of South Dakota, were also present,
as we'll as a number of other invited
guests and a majrity of the members of
the club. Altogether the occasion was
notable one, and gave the two new bish-
ops a hearty welcome. The visiting bish-
ops are being entertained by prominent
churchmen.
Bishop Hare, who is at the West Hotel
as the guest of Judge Isaac Atwater,
talked very interestingly this morning Of
his great work among the Sioux Indians
AS is well known, he has been In South
Dakota for twenty-Seven years, and when
he first began his work the Indians were
almost the sole Inhabitants of the diocese.
There are now in the tsate eighty Sioux
congregations, 5000 communicates and
about 10000 baptized persons. He thinks
that about half of all the South Dakota
Indians are in the Episcopal church and
fulyl tWo-thirdS of them are nominal
Christians.

ASTONISHING CONFESSIONS.
Men Have Admitted Committing
Crimes Which Never Took Place.

Men Have Admitted Committing
Crimes Which Never Took Place,
Wonderful Events
Ihat man on the rack, with every
nerve quivering, with every nerve drawn
to Its utmost tension, with the pain in
creasing in intensity and violence, should
confess himself the perpetrator of crime
is natural enough. The prospect of relief
from actual pain is a temptation that
blinds the sufferer to the future. But IT
may seem strange, and is, indeed, one of
the most fnexplicable things In human
history, that men have been induced
by religious exhortations and other means
OF persuasion to sign their own death
warrants by confessing crimes actually
never Committed. Such, In England, was
the case Of John Perry, executed near
Campden in 1861, with his mother and
brother, for numbering William Harrison.
steward for Lady Campden. The testi-
mony against them was chiefly the con-
fession of John Perry himself, but, to
the astonishment of ALL Harrison, who
had been kidnapped and carried off, re-
turned two years after the execution.
In 1872 a man named Russell Colvin.
living at Manchester, VT, disappeared,
and suspicious of foul play were enter
tanned. Public opinion attributed his
murder to Stephen and Jesse Boorn Still.
as there was no definite ground on which
to arrest them, the excitement gradually
drew away. In 1S19 however, a Mr.. Boorn
dreamed that he had been murdered bv
two men. whom he fixed upon as his
nephews, Stephen and Jesse The ghost
of the murdered man even specified the
place of the murder, and the old cellar
hole where the mangled body had been
thrust. Here knife and buttons were
found, which were identified as belonging
to Colvin. On this the men were arrest
ed. Stephen and Colvin had uuarreled
just before the disappearance Of the lat
ter, and Stephen had been seen to strike
him with club and knock him down
In a short time Jesse confessed that he
and Stephen, with their father, after
Stephen knocked him down, had car
ried him to the old cellar and cut his
throat with jackknife. He further stat
ed that the next year they made away
with most of the bones of their victim.

War Department Outlines Plan of
American Campaign.
WASHINGTON, April N.-The war de-

ton today from Gen. Otis respecting de-
velopments In the campaign about Cal
umpit 1t is said now that while it was
part of the plan for Gen. Lawton, NOV
ing westward from Norzogaray, to take
the rebels In the rear at Calumpit, and
crush them between his own force and
that of Gen. Macarthur, such was not
the only purpose Of his expedition. The
principal object was to clear the country
back to the foot hills of the numerous
small bodies of insurgents who have been
harrassing the country and making life
miserable for the American troops at un-
expected times and places. 1t is believed
that Gen. Lawton has fully succeeded in
this and that when he has effected a
juncture with Macarthur north of Cal
umpit 1t will be possible to establish a
comparatively short line of works across
country and prevent the return of the in
surgents from the north.

Anderson, of Minneapolis, at his home,

one of the detectives held Mrs. Anderson

finally laid hands the boy The de-

NOVEL TARIFF TEST.
Right to Collect Duty ON Goods Sent
to Porto Rico Questioned.


WASHINGTON, April 27.-Information
has been received at the war department
that the present customs laws of Porto
Rico are to be tested in the courts. 1t is
intended to ship cargo of goods from
New York to Porto Rico and refuse the
payment of the tariffs established by the
government. If payment is insisted upon
it will be made under protest, and suit
will be brought to recover the amount.
The claim will be set up that as Porto
Rico is now portion of the United
States it is unconstitutional to charge
customs dues for goods sent from one
portion of the country to another. The
right to make such charge is based upon
the fact that Porto Rico is under a mil
itary government, and therefore regu-
lated by the military rather than the
civil laws of the United States. To this
contention the advocates of free trade
between the island and the United States
answer that peace has been proclaimed
and that military authority cannot su-
persede the civil authority in portions of
the country where there is peace
