CAMPAIGN &. 1904.
Mr.. TarAney Thinks the Issues Are
Yet to he Developed.

Mr.. TarHney Thinks the Issues Are
Yet to He Developed.
Ex-Representative John c. Tarsney OF
Kansas City, Mo-. was IN Washington to-
day for the first time since he went out of
Congress five years ago. Tarsney has not
been altogether in sympathy with the new
order Of democracy, and she says that he is
taking no part in politics. Speaking of the
situation in Missouri, as reflected by the
election Of Wells as mayor of ST. Louis
over the opposition of Mr. Bryan and his
close friends Mr.. Tarsney says that pub
lie sentiment within the party is such that
the democrats are ready to follow in a
departure from the conditions of SO and
1900 if a man who is identified with the
Bryan element and having the qualities OF
leadership will lead the way. Some man
identified with the Bryan element, he said
could unite the party and bring about old
conditions Of harmony. He thought, how
ever, that the issues of the campaign in
1904 were yet to be developed and that the
prospects Of the democfAtic party would
depend upon conditions in the country at
that time. rather than dpon anything the
democrats might do. II stock gambling
was carried too far and hard times re-
suited from this and a failure of crops OF
other causes adverse to prosperity, there
would be change Of the political COM
plexion of the administration regardless of
what the democrats might do. IT, on the
other hand, there was no limit to the sue
cess Of stock gambling business conditions
and abundant crops making it possible for
the country to stand the strain of reckless
speculation, nothing could dislodge the re-
publicans.
With reference to the development Of re-
publican sentiment in the south, he said
that that sentiment, while it does exist,
would not influence political conditions as
things now are. The President might aid
In the upbuilding Of the Republican party IN
the south, but he eouhat not of himself
bring about the conditions which he APP
parently desires. II Abe republican party
gains strength and rexRectahility1 In the
south, he said, If men who believe in the.
policies of the party are brought to WORK
with 1t, this will be due to the revision Of
state constitutions SO as to eliminate the
negro problem, rather than to anything
that the President can The elimination
of the negro. might ls.,tfate men whose
sentiments are republican SO that they
could act with that party.

CADETS SYMPATHETIC DISORDER
War Department Nntia6d of the As
sembly of a COurt.Martial.

The War Department has been informed
of the assembly Of the court-martial at
West Point to investisate the alleged mu-
tinous conduct of thescadeAs on the night
Of the 10th in CREATING disorder in front
Of the house Of the connmandant Of cadets.
The report gives no "details of the happen
ings that led up to the. convening Of the
court But the preceding records show
that the trouble originated in the punish
ment of Cadet Ralston. an officer OF the
cadet corps and popular young man. He
was charged with negiecting to keep order
and discipline at the table in the mess hall
where he presided. and with falling to re-
port the cadetsswh created the disorder
and threw food about the room. RalstOn,
who Is Pennsylvania, was rather severe
" punished IN the matter of the depriva
tfon Of liberffea enioIed By the other ca
dets, being confined TO- the limits Of the
post for q. long time and ordered to do spe-
ctai tours OF duty He was also reduced to
the ranks. It Is presumed that his class
mates sympathixed with him. and It was
the boisterous expression of their SYM
pathy that led to tlse last phase-the sum-
moning OF the present court.

Mr.. Rose, prosecuting attorney for the
judicial district in which the trial of the
accused will be held, had an interview
with William r. Merriam, director of the
census, today. He said the case will prob
ably not be called for trial until late In
May. Those from the census office who
Will likely appear as witnesses for the gov
ernment are Frederick II. Wines, assistant
director; Charles s. Sloane, chief of the
geographer's division, and those employees
of the census who Immediately investigated
the returns of the enumerators charged
with fraud.
The examination of the returns from the
several enumeration districts in Charles
and Anne Arundel counties is progressing
the RECOMMENDATION returns having been re-
cefved from all the districts, with one ex-
ception. The work of comparing these with
the original returns is laborious. In such
discrepancies as have been found difficulty
is encountered in tracing criminal inten-
tion on the part of the enumerators. There
are many provisions in the census law
which. 1t is said, may be differently con-
strued, and in good faith.

Reunion of Christendom Discussed by
RepresentatiXe DivInes.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, April 2J.-The session Of
the Congregational Association yesterday
was most interesting. The paper presented
by Rev. NJ. Ross Fish5urn of Mt. Pleasant
Washington, on How to Use the Men of
Church" was able and provoked applause.
The speaker contended that men were to be
addressed through live issues. they should
be called upon at their places of business
and expected to join the church. In the
evening the church was fun to hear dis
cusSed the topic, The Reunion of Christen-
DOM Cardinal Gibbons agreed to be Iep
resented by Rev. NJ. F. Foley of ST. pauls
Catholic Church. AT the last moment
Father Foley was taken Ill, and his paper
was read by the Rev. Oliver HuckeI, pastor
of the church. Father Foleys paper con-
tended that in order to be union there
must be some living authority as interpre-
ter of the truth, and an obligation to re-
ceive the Bible in its entirety. This
authority, he said, was to be found intact
in the Roman Church Bishop Paret Of the
diocese of Maryland. presented a paper,
which was commented upon as very liberal
in its tone. Its. main contention was fer
unity rather than union. This unity was to
be found by all the various bodies of
Christendom yielding up points of differ
and coming together in visible union.
The bishop then went on to give the his
tory of the Chicago Lambeth articles Of
unity
oIly tnlee ACCOMMODATIONS Responded TO
the Lambeth suggestions-the Presbyte-
rians, Lutherans and Methodists. 1t was
his belief that finally the unity would come
about. The Congregational standpoint was
taken by Rev. DIR. VIM. Hays Ward, edi-
tor of the Independent, who deplored the
evils resulting from such divisions as are
manifest. DIR. Ward believed the churches
must get back to the simple, plain. toler-
ant way of early Christians, the peculiari-
ties OF each denomination to be respected
and allowed for. The association was In
vited to meet at the First Church of Jer-
sey City, N. j., next year. Rev Robert
Nourse of Falls Church, Mr.. ]. D. Davis
of Washington and Rev. Mr. Scovill SON

pated in the discussion of the Sunday
school question raised by Rev. F. Hods-

seriousness With Christ" and produced a

the method of settling labor difficulties was
made today when a committee of machin-

time, and 1t was arranged that another
conference shall be held tomorrow
In addition to arranging various griev-
ances, the proposition of the machinists
