STEPS TAKEN TO INVESTIGATE THE
FRAUDULENT SCHOOL BILL-SEC-
RETARY YOUNGSS AFFIDAVIT.

Albany, May 2S tSpeclai.-Steps were taken by
the State authorities to-day for judicial investi-
cation in Albany County of the substitution of a
fraudulent bill relating 10 the schools of Rochester
for the genuine passed by the Legislature
some time while the bill was in its progress from
the Legislature to the Mayor of Rochester and
back to Governor Roosevelt who afterward signed
the fraudulent measure.
The Grand Jury Of NJ Iroe County has had be-
fore it Secretary OF State McDonoush, who sub
mitted the fraudulent BILL and large number
of the employees of the Legislature.
The District Attorney of Monroe County visited
Governor Roosevelt at oyster Bay Saturday in
company with Attorney General Davies, and the
testimony taken at Rochester brought to the
Governors attention. To-day William J. Youngs.
the Governors secretary, received the following
letter:

General to lay such information before the proper
crime. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Later in the day Mr.. Youngs appeared before
County Judge Gregory. of Albany County, and
made affidavit reciting the particulars of the
crime against the State. In this affidavit he de-
cares that between March 1. 1900 and May l, 1900,

poyes of the Legislature will give testimony There

plicity in the felony
If County Judge Gregory thinks the testimony
satisfactory. and that it points TO the guilt OF any

BURNED BY AN
ELECTRIC WIRE

William Anderson, a teamster in the
employ of Robert Farmer. had a narrow
escape from being electrocuted at the
Montana Ore Purchasing cOmpany's
smelter about 5 o'clock this afternoon.
In fact, SO serious was Anderson's con-
dition after the shock that the coroner
was summoned.
Anderson was engaged in hauling wood
to the smelter, and a few minutes before
3 o'clock arrived near one of the ore bins
with a load. An electric light wire was
hanging in the roadway, and Anderson
~dismounted from the load and seized the
wire with the intention of putting it out
of the way Of the team.
Just as he seized the wire he screamed
and some of the employees fastened to
his help. After some difficulty his hold
on the wire was released and he fell to
he ground unconscious. 1t was at first
supposed hat his injuries We're fatal, but
later he regained consciousness. and
when the Inter Mountain went to press
the opinion was expressed that he would
recover.
His escape from death was due to a
pair of heavy gloves worn by Anderson
in driving the team. AS it is, one OF his
fingers was almost completely severed by
the wire, and he was otherwise badly
| burned. The wet condition of the ground
! also aggravated the shock.

Have Holy Horror of Work

The Rev. S. H. Chester, d. D., of Nash
vile, Tenn, secretary Of the executive
committee for foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States, read a paper on native agency
in evangelical work, with special refer
ence to the development Of natice leaders.
In part he said:
IA widely prevalent sentiment in our
home churches is that ciyiliZation-not
in it's essence even, but in the mere trap
pings of it-forms a large, ii not the chief
part of what the coming of the kingdom
means to the heather nation. If this
were true, then the world rather h the
church would be the proper agency to
conduct missions. and the best evangel-
lists to be found in China would be her
great viceroy and diplomatists, not con-
verified even, but only westernized-if
such a thing We're conceivable.
Comparatively few of the native
agents needed today, chosen of Christ for
propagating His church, will be found
among the literati of China. the Samural
of Japan, the Yangbans of Korea. The
Brahmins of India, or the chief men OF
any heather society. In Oriental society

He was riding in a caboose attached to
a train and the caboose jumped the track
and broke away from the train, turning
oven and rolling down an mbankment
Davis attempted to jump, but vas caught
under the caboose.
The engineer did not notice the acei-
dent until he had reached a siding two
miles distant. He then ran back. and as
he reached the spot he noticed the ca

tirely covered and the flames by that
time had caused death. 1t was two hours
before the body could be recovered. The

Again, in all the far east today, the most
deadening Confucianized man is the lit
erary man. To de-Confucianize him will
usually require not only regeneration,
but also quite a lengthy period of pro-
gressive sanctiiication. Meanwhile, he is
likely to persist in his habit of magnify
ing for over substance, to retain more
than his meet of his awful reverence for
trifies and his enlightened scOrn of

loose on a congregation in a full tide of
gospel enthusiasm. AS a rule he will
