NO CHARGES OF HEREsY.
Prof. Heron Likely 10 Re Tried for
Other Causes.

GRINNEIL, Iowa. April 2--Prof.
George D. Heron will be tried by the
Iowa Congregational Association, but 1t
will not be on the charge of heresy, but
for conduct '-unbecoming a Christian and
a gentleman"
The reports from New York that the
church would seek to expel him from
membership because of his heretical and
Socialistie teachings are declared sbsO-
lutely false.
The CongregatiOualists do not propose
that Prof. Heron shall pose as martyr
when the charge against him is solely
that of lack of moral character. The Rev.
r. n. Vittum. who has been for three
years pastor of the GTinnell Congregation
al Church. one of the leading churches in
Iowa, and is prominent member OF the
GrinneII Congregational Association, said:
1T is the first intimation 1 have ever
had that anyone had thought of making
any such movement. Heron has been in
the association and church for eight
years. and what Mr.. Wentworth Dir.
HerrOns agent, pIeases to call heresy was
as we'll known five years ago as is the
case now. 1t is probable that charges OF
conduct unworthy a Christian and gem
teman will be brought against Mr.. Her
ron. We hope the public viii not accuse

TO COMBINE COTTON MILLS.
Representatives of the Morgans said
to Be After Options.

FALL RIVER, Mass, April pa we'll
known manufacturer of this city is au-
thority for the statement that J. p. Nor
gan 81 Co. are negotiating for the pur-
chase of the cotton mills here. with the
intention OF combining them into q gi-
gantic company.
The first movement that attracted at
tention was the sending of agents through
the Southern States, whose business it
was to look over the mills Of that locality
to ascertain the value of the plants and
talk with the owners, with an idea of OBJ
tanning control of the stock. So far as
is known, no one has been directly ap-
preached in Fail River. and the policy
seems to he to secure options on as many
mills as possible outside of this city, and
then, by enlisting the services of a few
leaders here, purchase the stock of local
corporations at a valuation to be fixed
by these men.
While the project has probably not
reached a stage where it can be stated
with certainty that such a combination
will finally be formed, there are a num-
Der of facts which can be given, which
show pretty conclusively that the Nor
gan syndicate or some body of men of
large financial means has it's lines out
to secure control of the cotton business
OF the country.
The Goddards, of Providence have. il
is reliably stated, been asked to put a
valuation on their mills and other prop
erty in Rhode Island

PLANS FOR NEW WARsHIPS.
The Turret Question still Considered
m Unsettled One.

The Naval Board on Construction yes
terday considered plans for two battle
ships and two armored cruisers to be sub
mitted TO Congress in accordance with a
provision of the last Naval Appropria-
tion act. Congress will examine the plans
and determine whether it is advisable to
authorize the construction of the vessels.
Some progress was made by the board.
Ii was practically determined that the
battleships should have a displacement
of Is. 600 tons, and the armored cruisers
displacement of 1900 tons. The speed of
the battieships will be nineteen knots. but
it is probable that the board will not in
sist that the armored cruisers shall have
greater speed than twenty-five knots,
the chances being in favor of twenty-one
knots. The boards idea is to give the
armOred cruisers a tremendous coal car
rying capacity so that they will have an
extraordinary steaming radius or dis
tance that may be traversed without re-
cOaling.
Some members of the board are appar-
emily favorable to providing ordinary tur-
rets instead of superposed. or double
deck turrets. for the battleShips and il
is likely that the turret question. which
was believed to have been settled when
a special board acting in conjunction with
the Board on Construction adopted the
superposed turret as a tyne will be
fought over again

GLOOM THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
General Depression Caused by the
War and Financial Losses.

There is hardly anything that will de-
scribe the gloom that hangs over Eng
land, said w. A. Wolff, of New York and
London, at Chamberlins yesterday. Mr.
Wolff is lawyer. and Is an American
He succeeded to the London legal practice
of Juda z. Benjamin Mr.. Benjamin was
a native Of Alabama and was Secretary
of War to the COnfederaCy. He escaped
to England after the civil war and arrived
in London with a dirty collar and an
ulster. Within a few years he was
Queens counsel. and soon built up a large
practice, and at his death Mr.. Wolf sue
ceeded TO his business.
a number of things cause this Partly
the recent death of the Queen. and the en-
forced period of mourning but chief of
all, the South African war. There is
hardly a family of note in the Empire that
is not bewailing the loss of some favorite
son who met his death on the field in
the Transvaal. This has. of course. pros
trated England socially and therefore. in
certain degree, financially. The lack of
gayeties in London has made the outlook
extremely bad for all the shopkeepers.
think that London will have season un-
paralleled for it's quietness this summer.
England has other reasons for being
SlOpIiy from n unducidt viewpoint. ne
business ventures of the British have not
all turned out successfully. / should mem
ton particularly the investment of British
capital which was made several years ago
in the breweries OF the United States.
There was a great hullabaloo made over
British capital absorbing American in
dustries and many complaints were made
over the British Brewing Trust that in
vaded the United States. The crying
ought to be on the other side now The
money spent in consolidating the brewing
interests is not earning anything like the
dividends that it ought and the people
who subscribed to the stock in England
feel that, In a degree, they have been
bitten
There is also another financial loss that
English capital has suffered. Not so long
ago many rich men of England counted
among their assets nd the most paying
ones, too, large blocks of stocks and
bonds of railroads and manufacturing
corporations in the United States. The
situation has changed now, and there are
but few United States railroads that now
have any of their securities in the hands
of English capitalists. They have all
been bought back and are held in the
United States"
Regarding the political situation of
England today Mr.. Wolff said:
The Liberal party is on its last legs.
\ firm, vigorous. virile man might be able
to inject some life into il.

ing the best sort Of a King. He is ex-

tainty that the colossal fortunes of a

It has become useless to admonish
the people of this country against the
designs of the trusts. They have ac-
cepted the new order of things with
out a murmur and with apparent en-
thusiasm. 1t now remains for them to
reflect upon what they may have to
bear as burdens incident to the eco
nomic war which the trusts are active
ly wssing upon other industrial States.
One Of these consequences will be the
necessity for huge navy, and as to
that we have no fault to find because
1t would be necessary in any case
What is more Immediately important
is that we may and doubtless shall
have to bear the cost of a terrible war
to protect the Western Hemisphere
from European aggression. Some re-
cent remarks of the London Spec
tator" are pertinent to the subject It
says:
Every state on the Continent feels keenly
me dog-in-the-manger attitude OF the United
states about South America
Germany would like the whole of Brazil
in which she Is already strong Italy sends
her children by the hundred thousand to Ar
gentina France would feel richer if she could
acquire the hinterland Of Guiana. Even Hun
gary would rather that her children who are do
ing the handwork OF North America should fin1
homes under their own flag in Uruguay
hen the European alliance against America
Is transmitted from hope into fact that fact viii
be full grown and armed. Americans will then
ind that their only ally Is their hali-suspected
kinsmen'
Such comments are not in the nature
of mere threats. They only indicate
the appreciation of a simple business
proposition, which IS that if the monop-
olies Of the United States are to come
in and monopolize European home
markets, as they have that of their
own country, Europe viii feel com
PEELED to develop fresh markets in the
few regions of the earth where civiliza-
tiOn has not yet made much progress,
and where there are fields for settle
ment and material development.
Everybody knows that the most
promising outlook for the development
of European commerce, through colon
ial expansion, is South America. The
only thing today that stands in the
way of that expansion is the American
Monroe Doctrine. How long would it
stand before a coalition of the great
transatlantic States? That is a ques-
ton which American statesmen and
diplomatists should begin 10 ask them
selves earnestly. And it is one which
ought TO have the earliest and most
careful attention of Congress.
