Government bonds in any form are nevertneless

It was held by the executors Of the Plummer
estate that the transfer tax law was unconsulu-

DEVERY SUMMONS CAPTAINS.
1T MAY MEAN SECRET ORDERS ABOUT
VICE, OR IT MAY BE "GooDBY"

There seems to be little doubt in police circles
that this will be a critical day in the career OF
Chief Devery. He would not see a Tribune re-
porter yesterday but it was announced that an
order for all the captains to meet him at head
quarters this afternoon had been issued by him.
This is so unusual course that it aroused much
comment. Some thought it meant a formal fare
well from the Chief to his subordinates others
thought it meant confidential instructions as to
the in which the keepers of all sorts of Illegal
resorts to be protected and at the same
time 'bled" during the few remaining days of
Devery's administration. fast drawing to a
close
It explained at headquarters that the meet
ing was called for the purpose of electing the
recently appointed captains to membership in the
Captains Benevolent Association
Those who think Devery may be retired to-day
base their theory on the fact that the Chief will
be asked again this afternoon to testify in the trial
Of Captain Herlihy, and can hardly refuse post
pone doing SO for the second time without showing
open hostility to the Board. which might give
President York chance to file charges against
him. On the other hand if he goes upon the stand
his testimony must, it is thought. either convict
Herlihy himself of neglect of duty.
Another report Started yesterday TO the effect
that Mr.. York would refuse to vote for the retire
ment Of Devery on a pension. but would satisfy
his snmy nifty against t the Chief BY fRs him

might be.
Chairman Nixon Of the Tammany Committee of
Five would not discuss yesterday the probability Of
his becoming the single head of the Police De-
partment; neither would he tell the names of any
persons against whom his committee had obtained
evidence. He said they were awaiting the verdict
of the District Attorney upon the evidence they
had already submitted to him before they tried to
gather more. If Mr.. Philbin decided that IL was

Among export freghts from Siberia the first
place is taken by corn, AZ per cent, which is
sent principally to the European market through
the ports OF Reval Libau. ST. Petersburg and
Riga. Next comes the product of cattle raising

ports into Siberia by the railway are iron

The rapid increase of passenger and goods
traffic along the Siberian railway is due to the

DIR. MACARTHUR on CoyFUCI4NISu
DOES NOT THINK wU-T1NG-FANG UNDERSTANDS
CHRISTIANITY.

The Rev. DR.. Macarthur, at the evening service
yesterday in the Calvary Baptist Church, preached
his second sermon on Confuciansm.
He chose his text from Matthew Y, Il: II am not
come to destroy, but to fulfill and spoke, in part
follows:
All that is in any heather religion Christ in
dorsed. Anything that was lacking He to
supply. He did not come to destroy any truth
plement it. All that is true in Confucianism or in
any ethnic religion is true in Christianity also
They are all lacking. and Christ came to supply
What is Confucianism? Wu-Ting-fang said re-
Gently that it is easier to say what it is than
is not religion, not system of doctrinal wor-
ship. My own study confirms this. 1t sets up no
claim TO being revealed.
confucius found terrible moral conditions. These
dition of woman had much to do with those con-
ditions. Unfortunately, Confucius did nothing TO
improve her condition He took the crown from
wonan's brow and trampled in the dust, and as
a result he robbed the marriage relations of their
sweetness, their sanctity and their purity. No
doubt the strength OF Confucius is in his moral
teachings: and these get him his disciples, but he
never rose the height OF the ancient heather
belief which prevailed in China before his advent.
I do not saw that WI Tng-fang sought 20 de-
ne did understand It. And yet, but for Chris
tanity he would not have learned work of the
English tongue. But for Christianity ne would
have stepped outside his native China. But
his country this, the greatest country on Gods
earth.
His eulogy of Confucianism lacks in convincing
element and lacks even of propriety If shall con-
cede to his people that they possess tact. in
ceding which know most people will disagree with

YOUNG ALLEN FOUND.
HIS FATHER THINKS HE BECAME IN
SANE FROM READING SHAKESPEARE.

Matthew Aloysius Allen. the sixteen -year-old
student OF st. Johns College who had been
missing since Wednesday from his home in
West Chester, Borough of The Bronx, was found
in West New-York yesterday afternoon by De-
tective John Dillon. Allard Scheck of West
New-York. had sent word to the police OF this
city that boy answering young Aliens descrip-
ton had been seen in that village on Saturday
evening
The detective spent yesterday morning making
inquiries and visiting the hotels in West New
York. Finally. as he was coming out of Bender's
Hotel he ran against the boy.
He at once went home with young Allen. who
would not talk and gave evidence of being de-
mented. The boys father thinks his mind be-
too much.
The boy had lost his military cap and in
place of the good clothing with which he had
left home had an old sweater and an older
pair of trousers He probably robbed. He
did not recognize his parents and told nothing
of his movements.
