RUSSIA MAY INTERFERE.
Should England Attempt to Prevent
Assistance for the Beers.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-Diseussing
the attitude of Germany in regard to
the Transvaal crisis, the Rossiau says;
It is still an open question as to
whether Russian diplomacy, on the
basis of The Hague conference, may
not make the experiment of recon-
rnending that Great Britain and the
Transvaal have recourse to a court OF
arbitration.
In view of the hostile feeling against
Great Britain it is very possible nu-
merous volunteers from Europe will go
to the aid of the Beers, as Russian vol
unteers aided Servia. If Great Britain
attempts to prevent such movement
Russia, perhaps, will speak decisive
word

They appeal to England not to kim
die strife and hostility between two
naturally allied races, feeling certain
that solution might be reached
through a Joint commission which the
Transvaal is willing to accept; and
they suggest that an impartial English
man should be appointed to represent

MINISTER CHANGES FAITH
Episcopalian Clergyman of New York
Joins Roman Catholic Church.

New York, Feb lat became known
today that Rev. Robert Thomas Nichol,
a member of the Episcopal priesthood
of this city, had forsal1en the faith to
which he belonged and has united with
the communion of the Roman Catholic
church.
The knowledge of Mr.. Nocols con-
version to the Catholic church was a
shock to the clergyman's friends. AL
though it was known that he was one
of the most devoted adherents of the
Anglican-CathOlic party in this cOun-
try and in England, it was not believed
by them that he would go to the length
of separating himself from the associa-
lions and traditions in which his whole
life seemed to be bound up.
1t was said by those who knew of the
circumstances which led to his change
of faith that his action was sudden and
followed an attendance upon a series of
missions lately held here in a Roman
Catholic church and a, subsequent brief
study of the Roman Catholic doctrine.
Rev Mr.. Nichol was a protege of Dr.
George H. HOughton, rector of the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION. For a
time he was a curate in the Church of
st. Mary the Virgin, of which the late
Rev. Father Thomas Mckee Brown
was the rector. He is at present in re-
tirement in Boston, but will soon go to
England, where he will pursue his theo-
logical studies.

KANSAS CORN AT PARIS.

"A man from Kansas, whose circum-

when they see our exhibit at Paris, it'll
not only boom corn, but it'll boom the
whole United States for producin' it.
Commissioner Peck is with US, and We'll
see that the display of corn in that
wicked French city'H be an eye-opener.

The legislatures of Kansas, Nebraska,

plenty, but not enough to burn But
it's no joke, corn does make a mighty
nice fire. I was in South Dakota just
before I came east, and the farmers
were using it in their cooking and heat
ing stoves. It's too cheap to sell, and
coal is too dear to buy. There's very
little ashes or dirt about using corn
and it makes a powerful hot fire. That's
the only trouble, it's SO hot that it
burns the stoves out in a little while,

STRIKING BoILERAAgERS GAIN.
They Are Joined in Hoboken BY
R1acIxsmiths and Machinists.

The forces of the striking boilermakers
and iron shipbuilders employed by the
W. & A. Fletcher Company were strength
ened yesterday by the blacksmiths and
machinists. who quit work without warn
ing in the afternoon. The company's big
works on Fourteenth street are COM
pIetely tied up today. The striking of the
two latter branches of the trade is simply
out of sympathy for the boilermakers,
who are striving TO compel the company
to agree to a new workday schedule.
At the company's office this morning a
News man was assured by one of the
Fletchers that the firm would never con-
sent to give in to the present demands
of the strikers. 1--WE consider their claims
unjust and do not intend to accede to
them," said he. I'VE respect the union,
but it is wrong in its present contention
and If necessary we will employ nom
union men to do our work
About 500 men in all are out.
