An EXCHANGE OF CHARGES.
MovAL BACK TO ATTORNEY. WHO
RETURNS IT.

The charges preferred Tuesday TO Mayor Van
Wyek by William Macarthur an attorney and
counsellor at law, against Magistrate Pool were
returned yesterday morning by the Mayor TO David
Neuberger, attorney for Macarthur. In returning
the charges the Mayor stated that it not neces-
sary for him TO take action to begin proceedings
before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
TOR the removal OF city magistrate.
Mr.. Neuberger at once returned the papers to the
Mayor with letter IN which he said that the
law provided for the removal of city magistrate
by the Supreme Court charges preferred by any
Judge. excepting of the Supreme Court. or a
Justice having Jurisdiction In New-York City. the
Mayor of the city, the District Attorney OF the
county or any Ave taxpayers. provided the charges
should be proved true. While It might not be
mandatory on the Mayor to act, said Mr.. Neu-
berger. still the head of the city government It
seemed his place to begin the action. The position
of the Mayor with regard to the city officials was
somewhat like that Of the head of great mer-
camille house. The city officials were his subordi-
mates. and when charges made against them
II became the duty of the Mayor to inquire into
their truth, and II they seemed we'll grounded to
take the necessary action to rectify abuses.
Action by the Mayor mandat tory in so far
the faithful performance of his duty the pub
ing that it could be disputed that the charges.
If proved, were sufficient 70 warrant the -emOval
OF the city magistrate, and 1t remained for the
Mayor to act.

EVOLUTION AND RELIGION.
DISCUSSED IN A SPIRITED MANNER BEFORE

CONGRESS OF DISCIPLES OF CHRIST

second day of the National Congress of the Chris
tian Church OF Disciples, and the attendance was
increased. DR.. Josiah Strong. of New-York. pres-
dent of the League of Social Service addressed the
congress tonight, taking for his subject The
Twentieth Century city Evolution and Religion
congress has done little discuss this sub
ject. Professor W. Douglass Mckenzie, of the
Chicago Theological Seminary said this morning:
We must make a close distinction between the
sciepce of evolution and the philosophy of evolu-
uon Darwin was the teacher Of the science OF
evolution. Herbert Spencer taugh the philosophy
OF evolution. He was its most brilliant exponent.
He tried to make evolution cover the entire range
of life and the universe Theistic evolution is the
of the various manifestations and forms Of
life. We have much right TO build thestic
theory a another man has to build materialsttc
theory out of the facts of nature Matertalism as
progress into the universe you cannot get rea-
son out of it,. There is great effort TO connect
the theory OF evolution with the ethical side OF
life The ethical side is present everywhere and
dream. The consciousness of sin is as real as the
consciousness Of hunger. Evolution and redemp-
parallel ideas and thoughts Of life equally
true, equally from God and equally important in
any conception OF life.
