An incident which occurred in Chicago
not long ago is likely to cause gossip in
! China at some future time. If the ma
tiycs Of any other country had been in
! VOWED in it, there might possibly have
| been some International complications. 1t
/ has its humorous aspects. though it was
serious for the people involved.
A Chinese dramatic company, which has
been travelling in this country. was en-
gagged by a Chicago club to give a per-
Torrance at its club house. The company
accordingly besan rehesrsals Of tragedy
which vas intended to be peculiarly i'm
pressive and e!eyating even though rene
Of the members Of the club understood
, Chinese. Imagine Booth and Barrett Civ
/ ing Macbeth" in Shanghai to select
audience Of mandarins who knew no Eng
lish. and the difficulty OF the task which
the Chinese company had before it may be
understood. j is rot wonderful that they
became absorbed and earnest in the re-
hearsal.
Outside the door an intelligent Chicago
policeman was standiug He saw the
members Of the company go into the
building. and began. to wonder what was
up. He listened intently for suspicious
sounds. and caught what he thought 10 be
the evidences Of big fan-tan game
There was considerable noise in the room
where the rehearsal was going on--any
one can understand that who has been
TO a Chinese theatre-and the more racket
there was the mere the policeman was
convinced that something was wrong. He
called other policemen and they thought
as he did They decided that something
must be done. 1t would not do to wait
for interpreters, OF explanations. or any
thing of that sort. Action must be imme-
date.
They burst open the doors and came upon
the stage just at the denouement Of the
drama That convinced them that MUIR
der was being done and they hustled the
whole company off to the statiouhouse. The
bewildered and indignant actors had a
great deal TO say. but it all had to be said
in Chinese and as the only languages with
which the officers we're at all familiar
we're English. German. and Irish, their ears
were practically deaf to the entreaties
threats, explanations and objurgatious
hurled upon them. II was all Chinese TO
them. and that is considerably more hope
less than Greek.
The actors stsid IN the stationhouse all |
night In the morning the matter was ex- |
planned to the satisfaction of the court |
and they were released. none the worse. I
physically. but with a certain amount OF !
stored away for future use. The |
officers also learned a lesson. Possibly /
they will understand after this that Chi |
nese civilization has its grades, and that /
IL is not always proper TO arrest man (
because he is doing something unusual.

In obedience TO a resolution Of the

yesterday sent the open door" CORE
spondence of the State Department with
foreign Governments to that body for
Congressional inspection and edihcation
1t is not volumlnoUs. and does not furnish
anything sensational. or much matter Of
any kind for comment. Ii comprises the
declaration" sent out by this Govern
ment to our European embassies and le-
cations. in Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Russia. and Italy. and TO cur lega-
tion in Japan. the notes addressed ac-
cordingly by our representatives to the
Governments named. and the answers OF
the latter.
Great Britain. it appears. was prompt
in replying that it would give Her Mai
esty's Government great pleasure 10 unite
with the United States in keeping open
the commercial door OF China and each
Of the other powers remarked that it
would take the same view provided every
body else did. As everybody else used
language 10 the like effect Mr.. Hay took
census, and concluded that compliance
with our demand was in effect II not in
form quite unanimous, and thereupon
thanked the various States for their COM
mon and uniform action. and begged to
be permitted TO renew his assurances Of
the most distinguished consideration.
Excepting the correspondence with the
British Foreign Office. the negotiations do
not appear to have been carried to any
very formal conclusion. as the Secretary
OF State seems to have assumed that the
contingent promises OF the Continental
States became positive and binding on all
hands, when he had received enough OF
them TO make a quorum. so to speak
The result may be satisfactorily complete
and final as the matter stands. but
a little something more in the way Of
convention apiece with France. Germany.
Russia. and Italy would have added to
the confidence Of our commercial inter-
ests that the open door" is actually and
firmly propped open in manner to re-
main so without future question.

bought for 100000.

bilities are $50 GOO. At the hearing to-
day S9,S14.s00 of the stock and 1885,, 633 OF
the liabilities were represented. Mr.. Cor
bin said that the object Of selling the plant
was to effect a reorganization and he asked
the vice chancellor to fix an upset price
If the sale is permitted. Captain Nathaniel
Church. general manager. said he did not
think the failure to catch fish last season
was any indication that the company would
not be successful in future Vice Chancel-
Tor Pitney granted the application He
fixed $500 900 as the upset price for the
plant and that with the proceeds Of the re-
ceivers certificates. So coo, will be suffi-

Views on Presby tcrinnf-m.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Rev- DR.. Hills
answered his critics today He says that
he will leave the Presbyterian Church il
it is desired. When the pastor of Ply
mouth Church was seen today and asked
whether he had seen the dispatches from
Chicago, criticising his sermon last Sun
day, he said that he had. When asked
for an expression of opinion. in reply, DIT.
Hills dictated the following:
Il have read the Chicago dispatches in
the morning papers. | need not say that
they have caused me no little surprise
and pain DR.. Herrick Johnson. OF the
mccormick Theological Seminary. is an
OLD and a dear friend. As a student for
tne ministry. joined the Presbytery of
chicago at twenty years Of age. There |
received my academic training; there
pursued my professional studies in those
pastorates | had the pleasure Of seeing
Two new and large churches constructed.
and | came to love my associates in the
Presbytery with a great affection. and
where love, | love deeply. Naturally I
have been somewhat unwilling to sever all
relations with my past life, and as no
objection was made on the part OF the
Plymouth Church, l retained my member
ship in the Presbytery OF Chicago.
My liberal views, however. have been
well known in that city. For years my
sermons have been published in full in
the various journals. Some years ago,
when the matter of a revision of the con-
fession of faith was up, l worked, il sea-
son and out Of season, with voice and
pen, and personal influence. to bring about
the exclusion from the creed of the very
passages in the confession to which / re-
ferred in the sermon last Sunday, on The
Automatic Judgment Seat in Man. As
a delegate to the General Assembly. in
1894, l spoke and voted for the retention
OF Prof Henry Smith. who was expelled
from the Church at that assembly for his
liberal views. / have not concealed my
ideas and my dissent from certain sec
tons in the creed. and what little light I
have had has not been hidden under a
bushel.
Indeed, because Of my plea for tolera-
ton, liberty, and charity. | was clear to
succeed DR.. Noyes. who defended Prof.
Swing when DR.. Patton tried the lat
ter for heresy. Four years later, when
Prof. Swing died. I succeeded him as
pastor of the Central Independent Church.

that pulpit | went to DR.. Gray, editor of
the Interior and told him that | wished
to leave my withdrawal from the Presby
terry in his hands; that I feared there
might be some little dissension over the
Presbytery action in permitting me to as
sumo the Dastorate of Prof Swings
church; that l did not wish to be an oc-
casion of disturbance or discussion. and
that | desired him. in the event of my
membership being the cause Of annoyance
to any member. to present my withdrawal
from the Presbytery whenever he thought
il wise"

a strong protest has been made in New
York against forclbly photograrhiug per-
sons who have been arrested on criminal
charges and acquitted The protest in
some respects seems well founded Many
innocent people are arrested in the course
Of a year. and they have q right 10 object
to being paraded in the rogues' gallery
with confirmed criminals
The rogues' gallery is one Of the most
useful institutions In modern civilization
but It is not intended TO display the pic
lures Of people who are not rogues. The
law recognizes the right of the innocent
man to claim damages for false arrest;
and he has just as much right to object
to having his portrait hung along with
those OF thieves and murderers when it
does not belong there.
The man who is arrested for a crime
which he did not commit has a hard
enough time under any circumstances. The
human mind is so constituted that nine
people out Of ten viii probably remember
his arrest and forget all about his acQuit
tai. Il is most desirable therefore that
he should not be obliged to leave a last
ing record Of the experience on exhibition
where it Is liable to be misconstrued.
Common justice demands that II he is
photographed. the picture should be de-
s.royed upon proof Of his innocence.
II is also claimed that there is an in
justice in placing in the rogues gallery
pictures Of persons convicted of triAing
offences. sometimes merely technical in
character. Unprejudiced persons will
probably admit the justice Of this claim.
Curiosity seekers, passing through the
gallery. and recognizing the face of some
one whom they know. will not always stop
to find out how il came to be there. There
still fingers among us some trace Of the
old. Puritanical. unhinching Interpretation
Of the moral Law. which condemned men
TO death in England for the offence OF
sheep stealing. Many people are lacking

AN ENQUIRY ORDERED.
Complaints About Army Transports

TO he Looked Into.
Secretary Root has determined upon a
complete investigation Of the complaints
reaching the War Department about the
condition Of several of the Army trans
ports. A special enquiry was ordered yes
torday into the condition of the hospital
ships Missouri and Relief and it is not i'm
probable that within few DAYS there will
be further proceedings in the case Of the
transport Manaueuse.
Secretary Roots attention was called
particularly to the Missouri and Relief BY
reason OF the large sums Of money Just
asked for by the Quartermasters Depart
ment to place them in serviceable condi-
ton The Missouri cost the Government
S20o 600 and was fitted out in New York
last summer at a cost of 1856, 900. She
left New York for Manila after being pro-
nounced by War Department officials one
of the best arranged and equipped hospital
ships afloat She made the voyage by way
of the Suez Canal and was in charge of
Major Arthur. Of the Medical Department
The order says, In part:
The board is constituted TO enquire into
all the facts relating TO the fitting up and
equipment of the hospital ship Missouri
and Relief including their condition at the
time OF purchase by the United States and
particularly to report upon the present
condition of those ships, their seaworthi-
ness. their adaptation for hospital pur-
poses. the reasons why they are not now
seawOrthy or in condition for hospital
service if such be the case and if such
reasons are found in the character of the
work upon them since their purchase BY
the Government to fix the responsibility
therefor. The board will make report of
all facts pertinent and such recommenda
tiuus as in their judgment will be in the
interest of the public service"
