(By the Associated Press

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 11.-A sensa-

Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Greensboro N. c., Dec 11-From Dan
bury, the capital of Stokes county, comes
a most remarkable story. The report
involves minister of the NJ. E. Church
South, and country physician, and if
true, they are both guilty of a travesty
on religion, 1t appears that the minis
ter-Rev. W. H. Perry, member of the
Western North Carolina Conference and
pastor of the Danbury circuits a firm
believer in the doctrine of sanctification,
or freedom from sin. Processing sanctifi-
cation himself he claims that God has
endowed him with special power and au-
thority not delegated to ordinary NOR
tails, and that he can ordain persons to
the ministry and perform other unusual
offices.
In accordance with these views, the
Rev. Mr. Perry recently accompanied Dr.
B. w. Biting, of Mountain View, to
pool of water near Piedmont Springs,
where he went through the form of the
ceremony of ordaining Methodist min
lister. The doctor was told that he was
endowed with all the prerogatives of the
holy ministry and commanded to go out
sanctification.
DR.. Biting seems to have soon tired
of his ministerial relations, and decided
to establish creed of his own-one that
would meet the spiritual wants of the
world as he saw them. With this end in
view, he formulated what he was pleased
to call the doctrines of the Independent
Church of Christ When Mr.. Perry learn
ed OF this he was greatly displeased and
undertook to revoke the license he had
granted Biting. The latter refused to
surrender the papers, the circuit rider
circulated letter in the vicinity brand
ing the founder of the new church as an
imposter.
The affair is said to have caused great
deal of excitement, especially among the
congregations of which Mr.. Perry is pas
tor.

THE EFFECT OF THE TREATY.
Hay -Pauncefote Convention Again Discussed
by Senate in Executive Session.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE discussion
of the Hay -Pancefote Treaty in the exec
utive session of the Snate today consist
ed of questions and answers directed
towards clearing UP doubts concerning
the effect of the treaty, generally re-
garding the rights of the United States
in Central America.
Senator Beveridge asked as to The ef-
feet of the ratification of the pending
agreement on three points. First, as to
the provisions of the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty relating to the acquisition of ter
ritory, whether that article still would
be in effect as far as it prohibits the
United States from acquiring territory in
Central America. Secondly, in case
the Hay Pauncefote Treaty should be
ratified by the United States and then
accepted by, say twenty other nations,
whether it could be modified without the
consent of all the sgnatory powers. Third,
as to the right of hostile nations to sta
tion ships in the vicinity of the canal
in case of its construction under the Hay
Pauncefote agreement
He said the second article of the Clay
toni -Bulwer agreement, not only appear
ed to guarantee the neutrality of the
canal. but to prohibit Notifications and to
stand in the way of either Great Britain
or the United States acquiring territory
in Central America
Senator Lodge replied that in his opin-
ion, under the pending treaty the United
States would be stopped from extending
its domain into Central American territory
as the new negotiation did not abrogato
that portion of the old treaty Senate:
Foraker expressed the opposite view. say
ing that unquestionably the United states
could extend her dominion into the re-
gion if it so desired, just as England had
done in taking possession of the MCs,1iio

Lodge said that under the naw fr...ty

States was the only de facto and de jure
Government in Cuba.
Mr.. Beck argued that even if subse-
quent military occupation could not be
justified by the war-making power it was
amply justified by the treaty making
power He argued that, although Cuba
was foreign to this Government, in the
sense that it was not incorporated as
permanent domestic territory into the
United States, it was, nevertheless terri
tory pro tempore of the United States,
subject to our jurisdiction and to our
rights as the sovereign power, and that,
therefore, the United States, acting
through the commander in chief, had full
rights to exercise all executive, legisla
tive, and judicial powers in Cuba.
With reference to the constitutional
guarantees as to a jury trial in the bill
of rights, Mr.. Beck contended that they
had no application to Cuba. The court
after a reply by Mr.. Lindsay took the
case under advisement.

Mr.. Clay maintained that the bill as
formulated by the committee would not
tend to increase the merchant marine
of the United States If said he, Sen
ators will examine the testimony taken
before the committee, the conclusion VII
be reached that the ship-owners have a
thorough organization to carry through
this legislation. They are not seeking
opportunities to build ships, i:lt they ere
trying to secure legislation that will en-
able them to go to the public treasury
and draw $9,0OO,0OO annually TO divide
among themselves.
''If those who favor this legislation
are acting in good faith why did they
not provide that the subsidiary shall be
paid to those who will build ships here
after?'
Mr.. Clay maintained that that provjs-
ion of the bill which enables American
owners of foreign vessels to Tlace those
vessels under American register on CCn-
dition that they construct in Am lricdn
ship yards vessels of like tonnage ard
speed, would not increase ne merchant
marine. He said that inasmuch as these
owners of foreign vessels brought under
the American flag would receive only
fifty per cent of the subsidy provided
in the bill for American vessels, they
could not afford to come into competition
with those ships which are now under
American register. He vigorously at
tackled the amendments which had been
made to the bill since the present Ses-
sion of Congress began and presented a
long technical argument in support of
his assertion that they had been made
in the interests of a favored class of
shipbuilders. He held that as only SHIPS
constructed within the time specified by
the bill could enjoy the subsidy it would
be impossible for capitalists to build new
ships after the lapse of the specified time
TO compete with the subsidized vessels.
If money must be taken from the
Treasury to give life and growth to our
shipping interests it will be essential to
continue the bounty system; otherwise

vision for the defense of the canal by the
American people. Senator Lodge also
