NEW SPEAKERS ARE HEARD.
Interesting Exercises at the Chris
tian Alliance Convention.

The Christian Alliance convention
continued yesterday with an almost
entirely, new force of speakers. At
the morning service Rev. Father Sow
isH gave a stirring and spiritual ad-
dress. basing his thoughts on Ezekiel 5
vision of the river from the temple.
IN the afternoon Mr.. j. Hudson Bal
lard of Elmira, n. y, gave a Bible
reading on "t'he Word of God" He
showed very plainly that the basis Of
all true character and useful service
is the knowledge of the Bible. There
is too little love for the Bible. There
is time for many other books, but
none. not even the most spiritual writ
ings of good men can take the place
of Gods word.
Miss Louise Shepard. of New York
then sang an appropriate selection
and followed with a talk applying what
the previous speaker had said. She
said we should see Christ in the Bible.
prove Christ through the Bible and
let Christ prove us by the Bible The
meeting closed with a conservation SER
vice.
In the evening Rev. Howard Smith,
a missionary from West Africa, spoke
work which showed how sadly de-
ceived and helpless the people of that
land are.
Miss Shepard then sang saved by
Grace" The next speaker was Mr.
Robert Freeman, Of Buffalo, who gave
an earnest gospel address and appeal.
He said that the prevailing character
istic of this age and generation seems
to be unbelief, indecision and procras-
tination
Rev. Mr.. Haendiges, pastor of the
German NJ. II. church, conducted the
closing exercises.
Today is expected to be one of the
best days of the convention, as Rev.
A. Il. Simpson, of New York, the presi-
dent of the Christian and Missionary
Alliance, will speak both this afternoon
and this evening. Miss Shepard Will
speak in the forenoon.

BARTLEY's WATERLOO.
Game Binghamton Boy, Who Fought
Judge, Downed in the West.

"Kid" Parker. the western light
weight, of Denver, scored a victory
over Frank BARLEY. the Binghamton
welterweight, in the third round of
what was to have been a twenty
round bout before the Colorado Ath-
lotic club Monday night. A blow well
directed laid the Bnghamton boy out
in the third round. Something like
5000 people saw the battle.
A special to the RinehamtOn Leader
says: After the contest there were
many who voiced the belief that Bart
ley was not in condition to fight with
his usual effectiveness as he had been
considerably hampered in training by
sickness. This, many assorted, work.
ed against him in the fight and mater
tally lessened his chances"

viii Face the Issue.

New York, Oct. 26.-A special to
the Herald from Washington, says,
Prompt declaration by congress in
favor of asserting and maintaining
complete sovereignty over the Philip
pines at whatever cost and in favor
of the most liberal kind OF self-gov-
ernment when the insurrection ends,
is what the president wants. 1t is
also what the Philippine commits
sioners want. There is a great deal
yet for the president to do on bis
message and for the peace commits
sioners to do on their report, but tais
one important conclusion is certain.
Your correspondent has excellent
authority for the statement that the
president intends to make specific
recommendation to congress in favor
of holding the Philippines perman-
emily and as to form of civil govern
ment to take the place of the military
as soon as the Tagalos now in rebel
lion surrender. 1t ia authoritatively
stated that there will be no half way
measures suggested for the purpose
of side-tracking the Philippine ques-
ton until after the next campaign.
The president will face the issue
squarely and give congress the best
information in his possession.

Choctaws Dissatisfied.

Antlers, I. T., Oct. 25.-The Choc-
taw officials and the interior depart
ment have crossed swords again.
The Cboctaw school officials cut
the Choctaw freedmen from the
school funds last month. They ap-
pealed to the secretary of the inter
ior and today they received a com
munication from Acting Secretary
Ryan in which he tells them that In
spector Wright has been instructed
to bring the matter before the au-
thorities of the Choctaw nation and
see that the freedmen are provided
for under the treaty of 1866.
The Choctaws claim that the Atoks
agreement has been violated and
they will not appropriate a dollar
for the freedmen.
