London Church Too Small to
Hold Topeka Pastors
Audience.

London, July 3.-Londoners fought
their way to Christ church. Westmin
ster, Sunday night to hear the Rev.
Charles NJ. Sheldon of Topeka, kan,
but only 5000 persons were able to
wedge themselves in, and so the
preacher-editor was compelled to ad-
dress an overflow meeting in the ad-
joining hall and still another that con-
gregated in the streets. SO intense was
the demonstration accorded Mr.. Shell
dons address that the great audience
forgot the sacred surroundings and
burst into frequent applause at his ar
raignment of the liquor traffic and the
trusts and his optimistic prophecy for
the worlds religious future.
The famous KanSan chose ''Signs of
the Times for the subject of his maiden
effort in London, declaring that the love
of money was the international evil.
He defined '-Anglo-Saxon acquisitive-
ness as Satanic greed In the course
of his denunciationS he held the man
ayers of the New York ice trust an
sWerable to God for murder Then,
turning to his favorite temperance
theme, Mr.. Sheldon startled his hearers
by the statement that he had seen more
drunken men and women in England
and Scotland in month than in Topeka
in twelve years. He followed this home
thrust with an expression of horror at
his discovery that many ministers of
the gospel and church dignitarieS III
Great Britain were stockholders in Brit
ish breWeries.
Speaking of religious brotherhood, Mr..
Sheldon announced that great evange
listic propaganda would soon be under
taken in the United States by Newell
Dwight Hills of Brooklyn and other
prominent American divines.
To the Christian Endeavorers of the
world whose convention Mr.. Sheldon
had come to attend, he suggested that
politics was one of the most inviting
fields of activity that lay open. He
said that the present mayor of Topeka
was elected by the Christian Endeavor
vote and declared that organization
was all that was needed to make the
society a political power.
AS a mark of esteem for the Ameri-
can guest the name of the president of
the United States was Incorporated in
the prayer for the royal family at the
conclusion of the evenings services.

Havana. July 3.-The customs cases
still continue to drag. Secretary OF the

Manduley who prepared the case ana

have watched the proceedings on be-
half of the prosecution on the ground
that as no records We're kept it viii be

At the present time the defense seems
to be endeavoring to impress the court
with the idea that Colonel Bliss is
anxious to make scapegoats of the &C
cused for the sins of others They de-
clared it was impossible for them to
know what their duties were, and claim
that men were bribed to betray them.
Accounts from various parts of the
island report that the newly elected
mayors were inducted into office with
much enthusiasm. El Cubano says that
yesterday was the first real entrance OF
those who fought and bled during the
revolution into the management OF their
country's affairs.
A plan is on foot among the Cubans
to petition the government to give the

No Reason Whatever For Loss of
Life in HObOken Fire.

New York, July 3.-President Cram,
at a meeting of the New York dock
board today, emphatically declared that
there need have been no loss of life as
result of the Hoboken fire had proper
discipline been shown. He said:
Such a fire could not possibly have
occurred in New York city. 1t would be
absolutely impossible. owing to the su-
periority of the docking facilities and
the fire and police departments
L was in Hoboken today, examining
the piers of the North German Lloyd
Steamship company. They are too mar
row, and the space between the piers is
very much too narrow.
THE piers themselves are rotten in
the first place and are nothing but tin
der boxes. The sheds are only made of
wood and very infiammable,o of course, and
that's the reason the fire spread so
quickly and with such disastrous ef-
feet.
The piers in New York city are much
wider and much further apart It would
be absolutely impossible even if a pier
should catch fire, for it to spread to a
vessel lying alongside the pier as the
piers are wide and there is plenty of
space for the fire department to work
on the pier and for the fire boats to
work outside between piers.

is not bit of excuse in this world for
the terrible loss Of life that took place
was IN reality not the slightest disci-
pine exercised during the fire. found
