THE ECUMENlCAL COUNCIL.
Great Interest shown In the Meet
ings for Missions.

NEW YORK. April 26--No revival Of re-
ligion that New York has seen in the last
decade has awakened anything like the
deep religious feeling that the Ecumenlcal
Conference seems to be srousing. Literally
thousands uDon thousands Of people who
before this had probably not given the
foreign missions more than a passing
thought have developed intense interest
and enthusiasm on the subject since the
conference opened last Saturday They I'll
Carnegie Hall and the churches where
meetings are held morning. noon. and
night, and between the meetings they keep
the missionaries busy relating stories OF
their personal experiences in foreign lands
and of the spread Of the Gospel.
There were seven meetings held TODAY.
two Of them in Carnegie Hail. and the
others in various churches. At the dsy
meetings the topic OF discussion was "Edu-
cation" and it developed that there is a
very strong feeling that secular education
alone is as advantageous to the Chris
thanking Of the world as secular educa-
ton mixed with religious training
At the morning session one speaker said
boldly that the mission colleges throughout
clusively to secular education. and that
there should be no more religious tain
ing in them than is given in the colleges
in this country and England. The argu-
ment was that learning broadened the
mind. drove out superstition, and created
a hunger for something to take the place
of the religion of superstition that had,
before the entrance of education. held the
mind. And with education there was
needed only the suggestion of the Chris
tian religion to enable the student 10 see
the truth of that religion.
Tonight the subject was the relation OF
missions to governments The chief
speaker was the former American Minister
to Turkey. the Hon. James p. Angel.
President Of the University Of Michigan.
His contention that missionary In a for
eign country was entitled to exactly the
same amount of protection that a citizen
engaged in any other business was entitled
to receive. met with great applause. His
further assertion that they were not en-
titled TO any more protection than other
citizens was received in silence and it
was plain that there was a very general
feeling In the minds OF his audience that
the missionaries for some reason or other.
were entitled to more protection and more
assistance.
Tomorrow's conference is to be given
over wholly to the women. and in addition
to the morning and evening meetings in
meeting in the afternoon.

Opposition to the Proposed LegaliHa-
ton OF Divorce.

HAVANA. April 25.-A committee Of
lawyers representing the Havana Bar As
ISOLATION visited Governor General Wood
today and urged him not to issue the pro-
posed order legalizing divorce. This mat

months, and he has certain elements of
the community and some newspapers he
mind him. The Catholic Church of course
has set its face against it, The committee
told General Wood that the consensus OF
conservative opinion was against any di-
Yorce law. Those favoring it belong to
the radical revolutionary element the
tendencies of which are inimical 10 the
Church in this and other matters.
General Wood informed the committee
that he would not touch the subject until
he understood more fully the desires Of
the people, because he felt that this mat

ing is a matter OF some remark. About
half OF Mr.. Howells' novels are mad
deningly faithful records OF the most
minute actions Of people whom one would
not care TO meet. We all have to be bored
sometimes in real life. but why. in the
name Of Victor Hugo Dickens and Haw-
thorne should the process be extended to
the library? Books should be a means of
escape for the iaded imagination. a way
out Of the humdrum prosiness Of everyday
life into the great outside world, Why,
then, should commonplace, everyday facts
occupy the greater part Of the space in
work OF Imagination?
1t is quite true that some novels may
deal with the commonplace in ways VIII
enuoble and bcautify it. But this is not
done by selecting the meanest and most
undressing attributes in human nature
for discussion. Neither is the gossiping
chatter Of q lot OF match making old la
dies usually a matter which impcratiyely
needs TO be recorded. In several Of Mr.

LOW PRICES FOR CONCESSIONS.
Warning TO Those DcnIing with

NEW YORK. April Through a pro-
test issued today by Dr. Adiaz Guerra. the
diplomatic agent in this country of the

ment now in power has been making
strenuous efforts to patch up its financial
difficulties by the sale of all the country 5

Dr. Guerra has in his possession copies
OF documents indicating that the Govern

its rights in the canal. Senior Nicolas

We have" said Senator Hanna at Co
lumbus proven to this country and to
the world that our policy Of economics is
irresistible and must succeed" Presuma
hly then. as the Republican national plat
form OF 1900 will be whatever Mr.. Hanna
wants it 10 be and certainly not anything
else it is his intention 10 enter Mr.. Nc
Eirley as the fayorite Of his stable for the
Presidential race on The issue Of ''irresis-
ti5ls eoouor-ios."
We are az this time rather in the dark
concerning what irresistible economies
may be. but we presume that they have
more OF less reference to the Presidents
return to the old spoils system Of appoint
ment to public office. to the peculiar
economics Of beef. fever camp. and trans
portation contracts and to Algerism. Eagan-
ism. SamDsonism and Otisism generally.
Also, they may have some vague connec-
ton with The suppression Of the American
Constitution in Porto Rico an economic
which Mr. Hanna sooner or later will dis
cover to be "irresistibly' exasperating TO
the voters Of the country.
When the time comes. it will be interest
ing to observe the manner in which Ali
sen. Aldrich. Platt, Henderson. and the
other professional party platform writer's
viii get around the Porto Rican lion in
their path, How will they manage to
point with pride to the record Of their
President in the matter? How will they
convince the country that whereas William
Mckinley. and all Of his advisers on the
first day of February held that the Con-
stitution made it our plain duty to give
free trade to The island commerce. before
the middle OF that month had determined
to violate the national pledge and the
Constitution in order to treat Porto Rico
as alien territory at the command and for
the benefit Of the trusts?
We are strongly OF the opinion that the
Republican platform OF 1900 will have to
be constructed with less concern for fact
and truth than even that Of 1886, which is
saying an extremely uncomplimeutary

AN EXPLANATION ASKED.
A Report Concerning Recent Alleged
Statements About SchIey.

Statements About SchIey.
It is reported in naval circles that C1pt.
French E. Chadwick. who commando the
flagship New York. and who was Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS chief Ct staff in the war
with Spain has been asked TO explain
whether he was correctly quoted in an in
terview in the Brooklyn Eagle Of April
p in which he is made 20 say. in effect,
that Rear Admiral Schley had dissrIced
the Navy and other severe things about
the commander Of the flying squadron.
An effort was made last night 20 obtain
official confirmation OF the understanding
that Captain Chadwick had been asked to
explain the structures on Admiral Schley
attributed to him. and to ascertain the
details OF the matter.
A high naval official. whose office is
such that he would probably be acquainted
with any such action. would not give any
information on the subject but he adj
mitted that it would be natural for the
Navy Department to call the attention OF
Captain Chadwick to the interview. and
that that course was nearly always followed
where an officer made statements in the
public prints that reflected on another
officer
If the Department has called on Captain
Chadwick for an explanation. and there Is
reason to believe that il has. the matter
has an important bearing on the case OF
Admiral Schley. Should Captain Chadwick
admit that he was correctly quoted and
fail to furnish a satisfactory explanation
for publicly Criticising a senior officer. the
Navy Department would probably direct
his trial by cOurt-martial.
