ZIONIST SCHEME BOOMS
ITS FIRST POLITICAL SUCCESS
Surety in the Colonization of
Southern Palestine.


London, May 90.-The Daily Mail says
that the Zionist movement has achieved
its first great political success. The
founder of the movement, DR.. Theodore
Herzl, and other promoters, arrived at
Constantinople three weeks ago and were
received with distinction. DR.. Herzl was
placed among the imperial guests at the
Solamlik on May IT, and thereafter the
sultan granted an audience that lasted for
two and half hours. DR.. Herzl submitted
his scheme for colonizing parts of south
ern Palestine, the plans being supported
by the strongest recommendations of En-
peror William.
DR.. Herzl offered a considerable sum of
money to secure a definite tenure and
practical governing rights. international
securities for fulfilling the contract will
be demanded by the porte. 1t is expected
that Emperor William will become the
principal surety An international con-
gress will shortly be CALLED to support the
plans. 1t is proposed to begin the de-
velopment by rebuilding Jaffa harbor and
establishing considerable irrigation works.
Jewish labor. will be employed, and as
houses are built rural Jews from Rouma-
mia, Russia and Galicia will be gradually
settled on the land. The scheme is in no
sense charitable The leaders do not
intend to import the lower classes of
Hebrews, but the best class of workers.
The scheme is on a business basis and
remunerative returns are expected.

MEMORY OF FLOYD SYNOD now AT WORK
FoSeign Missions Discussed by
Evangelical Lutherans.
MISSIONS IN INDIA AND AFRICA
Several Important Church Matters
to Receive -AttentfOn-Ad-
dresses Made To-day.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 30.-The frs
business session of the fortieth general
synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church
convened to-day. Some 250 delegates were
present, besides many visiting clergymen
from Europe, Africa and India.
Foreign missions were discussed this af-
ternoon, addresses being delivered by Rev
Luther NJ. Kuhlman Of Frederick, Nd.
Rev. DR.. J. B. Aberly of Guntur, India;
Rev. DR.. George J. AIbrecht of Rentach-
ihtala, Planad, India, and Rev. DR.. J. H
Harpster of Guntur, India.
Among the more important matters for
discussion by the synod are the movement
to change the missionary field from the
African coast, and particularly Liberia, to
the interior for climatic and hygenic rea-
sons; the establishment of an official paper
or organ which shall represent the spirit
of the general assembly and promote and
uphold all of its interests, and a move
ment to adopt graded course of lessons
in the Sunday schools and to this extent
modify the international lesson course.
The report of the board of foreign mis-
sions showed that the receipts from all
sources during the biennium were 500, 1866,
and the total expenditures S97, ,253. On
April 80, 1901, there was a balance OF
$2,573 in the treasury. The indebtedness
at the close of the biennium was SS,715,
10 WHICH LQe DdlaQCe was applied, leaV-
ing a net Indebtedness of Sc, ,144.
The board also received for the India
famine relief fund $23, ,8S8, of which a bal
ance of 1854 remains. The board. gave
in detail its work in India and Africa
since the last session of the general
synod. In India there was at the end of
1900 a total enrolled baptized member
ship of 20, ,4S6, an increase of Is per cent
two pears.
No statistical exhibit of school and
church work of the African mission was
received in that time for the report. There
are nine missionaries in the field regu-
larly organized as conference.
A resolution was introduced asking that
the committee on apportionment apportion
to the district synods for the next bien-
MUM the sum of $SO,0OO to be raised for
foreign missionary work.
The first important business of the ses-
sion was the election of officers for the
synod, to hold for the next biennial period.
DR.. R. s. W. Fries of Baltimore was
chosen president; Rev. DR.. W. E. Fisher
of Shamokin, Pa, secretary, and Dr. Louis
Manns of Cincinnati treasurer

Washington, May 30.-When the su-
tober motion will be filed asking for a
rehearing of the Downes case, which was
made the medium OF the courts decision
sustaining the constitutionality of the
Foraker act for Porto Rico. conference
of all the lawyers who argued the insular
cases against the government is to be
called between now and October to dis
cuss the new points that will be raised
and submitted to the court as the basis
of the motion for rehearing.
Former Attorney General Michener of
Indiana and ex-senator Lindsay of Ken
lucky and another attorney, who pre-
sented arguments to the court last De-
cember, have already held a conference
to discuss the desirability of asking for
rehearing, and have reached the con-
clusion that it is the right step to take.
They are not prepared as yet, however,
to state the grounds upon which the re-
hearing will be asked, because they do not
care to discuss the details until after
these have been submitted to all OF the
attorneys concerned. Then, too, they
want more time to study the several opin-
ions that were handed down on Monday.
They are especially desirous to obtain
printed copies of the opinions of Justice
White and Justice Gray, who, while con-
curing in the decision upholding the
Foraker act with Justice Brown, repu-
dated the premises upon which that JUS
tice based his decision. Neither of these
opinions is yet ready for circulation, but
the attorneys who heard them delivered
know they contain views which, in their
judgment. border so close to the views
expressed by Chief Justice Fuller and
Justice Harlan that they have a right
to believe a further presentation of the
case upon rehearing might cause one or
both to join with the chief jurist and JUS

Sioux City. Iowa, May S0.-The conspic-
uous figure at the dedication to-day Of the
hundred foot monument, costing $4,000
10 Sergeant Charles Floyd, a member OF
the Lewis and Clarke expedition, who died
and was buried near here, was John A.
Kasson, recently treaty commissioner
who wrote the anti-slavery plank in the
Lincoln platform OF 1860.
He was present in the morning at the
exercises Of dedication when Col. H. NJ.
Chittenden, government engineer in
charge, presented the shaft which was ac-
cepted by John H. Charles, president Of
the Floyd Memorial association, pioneer,
who uncovered the tablets of bronze.
In the afternoon Mr.. Kasson delivered
an oration in which he sketched the his
tory Of the Louisiana purchase, which the
shaft really commentaries, and drew the
moral of expansion as being the duty
and right of the central states now as
when Louisiana was purchased for SIS, ,0OO,-

In the evening ]. Daniel Butler of the
University of Wisconsin, who found Floyd's
original notes, and DR.. S. P. Yeomans, who
re-interred Floyds remains in 1857, will
be the speakers. There are hundreds OF
visitors in the city, the railways having
made special rates. President Burt of the

church by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, pres
ident. AS Mrs. Gait was elected last year
in Washington, this is her first convention
in her high office, but her wide experience
in public work carried her successfully
through what must have been somewhat of
an ordeal, for her predecessor sat on the
platform with her and Miss Anthony is so
deeply and securely enshrined in the
hearts of all suffrage workers that it was
rather hard for them to see another in her
long-accustomed place, and their attitude
could not fail to be rather critical, al
though intended to be wholly generous,
loyal and kindly. That is human nature
and no one could help feeling as they un-
doubtedly did for the moment as Mrs.
Gait assumed charge of the meeting
For two days a large number OF the
delegates have been present in the city,
busily engaged with important commit
tee work. The details are attended to in
this way by the smaller bodies, leaving
the convention free to discuss principals
and policies and to decide the broad out
lines of the work with due deIiberation
The movable convention agitation is an
old debate stirred into activity by what
seems to many changed conditions No
action looking to a change next year
seems likely to be taken, but it is al
most equally certain that in time the
holding of alternate meetings in Wash
ington will be abandoned in order that
all parts Of the country may be visited
more quickly by the conventions. This
agitation is a reminiscence of the com
promise affected at the time of the union
of the two suffrage associations a dozen
years ago. The National association, or
the Anthony organization, always met in
Washington, the Americap association, led
by Lucy Stone, always travelled; wherf
they united they combined the two plans
Called to Order.
The call to order was followed by
prayer by Mrs. Ida Mccoy, assistant pas
tor of Wesley church and a soprano solo
by Mrs. Lincoln Lane. The roll call
showed all officers present save Mrs Nc
Culloch, second auditor, and nearly every
state represented.
Miss Anthony preceded her own address
by the reading of that of her friend and
colleague, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
also an honorary president of the associa-
tion, who said in part:
My convictions from year to year have
been growing stronger that before we can
secure woman's emancipation from the slav-
cry and superstition, we have important work
to do in ths. church. hence, I would suggest
in our plan of work that we begin the same
vigorous agitation in the church that we
have kept up in the state for the past forty
years.
With the progressive legislation of the past
half century, we have an interest in tracing
the lessons taught to women in the churches
to their true origin, and a right to demand
from our theologians the same full and free
discussion in the church that we have had in
the state, as the time has fully come for
women to be heard in the ecclesiastical coun-
ellis of the nation. To this end, 1 suggest
that committees and delegations from all our
state and national associations visit the

lean Shipping.
Washington, May 30.-It is thought that
the pilotage decision, which attracted lit
tie attention at the time, but was handed
down with the other insular decisions
Monday, will be construed as extending
the regulations of the coastwise trade to
the Philippines, as we'll as to Porto Rico
and Hawaii By direction of the presi
dent and on recommendation of the bu-
reau of navigation of the treasury de-
partment, the coastWise regulations were
extended to Porto Rico soon after the
ratification of the Paris treaty, or in Au-
gust, 1898. about the same time they were
also extended to Hawaii What is known
as the pilotage case was friendly litiga-
tion. brought to test the legality OF these
extensions OF the shipping laws. The
supreme court sustained the presidents 8
act and 1t is now thought that there will
be demand to extend the regulations to
the Philippines, in pursuance of the
courts mandate.
Shipping men say this would be seri-
Gus blow to American shipping. 1t is
contended that the country is not yet
ready to include the distant Philippines
in its coastwise trade and to confer on
that far removed archipelago the benefits
OF the American navigation laws. Still,
as the question is not yet very well
understood, it is likely that little will be
heard about it until congress takes hold
of it and enacts the necessary legislation.
Attorney General Knox is carefully
studying the various expressions used by
the justices in the DeLima and the
Downes decisions, with the view of pre-
pairing an opinion for submission to the
cabinet as to the powers which the su-
preme court has declared belong to the
president by constitutional warrant as
well as the special grant of power vested
in the executive by the Spooner resolu-
tion. definite and authoritative an

pelago will probably be made soon after

Washington, May 30.-The state depart
ment gives out the astonishing informa-
tion that when Minister Loomis returns
to the. United States from his trip abroad
ne will start forthwith for his post at
Caracas, Venezuela, and continue to rep
resent the United States as minister for
another four years. The statement has a
ring of defiance, for it is made in response
to an interview by President Castro Of
Venezuela, to the effect that he is con-
fident the United States will not send
Minister Loomis back to Caracas. Presi-
dent Castro adds with mingled diplomacy
and naivete: 81 believe the United States

RACE FOR A DINNER
GriscOm and Mackay Speeding
Across the Atlantic.

Neae York Suss Special Service
New York, May 30.-The steamship St
Paul, which sailed yesterday for Southampton,
will have a chance to test its new engines
on the trip across. The ship usually arrives
at Southampton during the afternoon of the
Wednesday, after sailing. On board the yes
sell was Clement A. Griscom, the president of
the American line. He is fastening abroad
to attend the banquet of the London Board of
Trade, set for next Wednesday night, and the
slightest delay in the arrival of the vessel
would mean that the president of the line
would not be able to attend the dinner. An
other reason for Mr.. Griscom's trip is said to
be that he resires to confer with J, P. Nor
gan on steamship business.
Mr.. Griscom is not the only member of the
chamber of commerce who is racing across
the Atlantic in the hope of being in time for
the London chamber of commerce banquet
His rival is J. W Mackay president of the
Commercial Cable company, who is aboard
the Teutonic, which left this city two hours
behind the st. Paul. There will, therefore
be race between the two swift trans-At-
lantie liners.
