adds nothing to the solemnity and ap-

nor to the sorrow and heart breaking it
caused, impressed the community itself
more, for there was scarcely one in the
whole region who had not some ac-
quaintance or friend among those lost.

There seems to be two well defined
theories of the cause of the disaster

Cne of them is that the captain and

influence of liquor, and that the vessel

theory, it is claimed, would resolve the
cause of the accident into an imperfect

LOWELL BANKS BIG LOSS.

Lowell. Mass. Oct 2l-The financial troubles Of
the Merchants National Bank, owing 10 the dis
appearance OF its teller. Albert G. Smith. and
bookkeeper, Lewis H Swift. practically
srnoothed out to-day. The bank has lost about
$1,000. The directors officially state this and at
the same time that they have had returned
valuable securities. which, IL appears. were
worth 100000 The shortage is represented
by the discrepancies the books extending
two years, with the amount which it is under
stood has been returned by the two men. These
valuable securities, described by one director
returned in carpetbags, and represented
bonds. notes and other negotiable papers and big
punches OF money. all supposed to have been taken
from the bank vault just prior the time the men
disappeared Thursday night
The banks loss, IL is understood, is made up OF
two items-the stealings OF the two men for the
last years, 5 shown by the books, and that
part of the cash included in the loot retained by
Smith and Swift the price OF their margin TO
return the securities
The interest for the moment centres in the pur-
suit of Smith and Swift, and tonight IL was un-
derstood that United States officers had found
this city the mems hiding place. An immedl-
ate arrest expected. without regard 10 the
probable inaction Of the bank directors. From the
fact that the lawyers negotiated what appears TO
have been an agreement OF settlement in Boston
yesterday IL is generally believed the men were IN
Boston until this morning, and that they are now
some distance away Smith had corresponded WITH
Montreal parties. and it is thought he has gone
there.
The loot from the bank vault returned In
carpetbags delivered at the bank early this morn

ence at a hotel with John c. Burke. Of this CITY,

Wu Ting Fang. the Chinese minis
ter. ia the course Of an ad ress upon
Confuclus and Mencius in Philadelphia
on Sunday improved the occasion by
reply 10 some criticisms that have
been made by clergymen Of the Christ
ian faith upon his recent comparison
Of Christiseiiy and confucianism. His
reply to theh structures was not only
in excellent temper but it contained
many wise suggestions which men Of
an religious beliefs would do well to
heed.
IN making the comparison between
C0nfuclanism and Christianity the
Chinese minister particularly dise.aim-
cd any Intention to disparage the lat
ter. he does not think it any more
discredltable that an Christians do not
live up to the doctrine Of Christianity
than that an Confucians do not obey
the precepts Of Confucius. nor can he
understand why some clergymen
should resent any attempt to compare
Christianity with other systems Of be-
lief when they do not scruple 20 at
tack other religions. Wu Ting Fang
recognizes an that Is good in all sys-
TENS. and from this hlgh-mInded
standpoint does not think that "the
noble and sublime teachings Of Christi
anity need fear criticism. much less
comparison. To this extent WI 7 ng
Fang stands for the good Of humanity.
He believes that all religions ts ch
men % be good. and that if every man
would live ID to the doctrines Of bis
religion 1t would be a better world
and nica would live In brotherly peace.
