WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Credit will be due to the

taxes the country gets. The
republicans fully intended to
kill the bill in conference, but
when they found out that all
Of the democratsin the House
and enough republicans to
make II majority were deter
mined to head of the scheme.
the lenders ordered that a
compromise be patched up in
conference between the House
and Senate bills. That com
promise Will NOT, of rOnrs", in
any sense. be q democratic

made, if the democrats had
been less aggressive.
Senator Morgan, in the mi
nority report OF the Commit
tee On Foreign Relations on
the resolution derlaring that
the ratification of the Hay
Panncefote treaty is not a
condition precedent to t h e
construction of the Nicara-
qua Canal, and that the Uni
ted States should proceed
with the work regardless OF
the Clayton-Bulwer agree
ment which was adversely re
ported by a party vote,
makes the positive charge
that Mr.. Mckinley caused
the resolution to be adverse
lily reported. Concerning the
influence of Mr.. Mckinley
with the republican members
of the committees and b IL
right to saw what is expert
ed for them to do. Senator
Morgan said: "This claim
was made in the committee
and his. (McKinley's) view

OF objection to the resolu-
[tions. From this view OF tn
duty of the Senate, ! who'll.

Senator's who have claime'

The claim that action on an,
legislation, relating to the n
caragua Canal while the Ha

would be discourteOus to Fin

but still a bluff. 1t has bee

NOT BROKEN DOWN
Stories That He is in State Of
Collapse Said to be faIse-Many
Letters for Him.
(By Associated Press. )

ALBANY. y. Y, Oct. disappointment
ent Cornelius Y. Collins will send a re-
quest to Secretary of State Hay to desig-
nate an official representative of the gov
ernment to be present at the electrocution
of Leon E. Czoigosz. the murderer of
President Mckinley. Only twenty-four
witnesses will be present in the chamber
of death when the sentence is executed
1t was stated at the State Department
of Prisons to-day that statements to the
effect that Czolg6sz is in a constant state
OF collapse, and that he breaks down and
weeks, are false. Superintendent Collins
had q talk with the condemned man some
days ago and at the time he said he
knew he had to die lie expressed no
fear as to the electrocution, but said
that he would not care to so outside of
the prison, for he believed that the peo-
pie would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn pris-
on several thousand letters have been
received for him at prison, as well as
a large number of express packages con-
tanning flowers and fruit The letters
flowers or fruit have never reached the
condemned man. The flowers and fruit,
it is learned. nave been sent by Christian
societies. as have a. number of letters
consoling him in his last moments. 9th
er letters have come from crapks who
have written about the species of torture
10 which they would put him to, if they
had the execution Of justice in his case
1t is stated. however that it would be
a matter of surprise if the names of
senders of fruit and flowers We're MADE
public.
The State Prison Department has pur-
sued q uniform policy in regard to Czol-
gosz An effort has been made to pre-
vent the murderer from gaining any no.
toriety while awaiting death. and to sur
round him by a perfect isolation from the
world as possible.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 1.-THE
House of Deputies of the Episcopal
Church of America, sitting as a. Commit
tee of the Whole, to-day adopted the
proposed canon prohibiting the remar-
riage of divorced persons for causes not
arising previous to their former marriage.
The canon was adopted as it came from
the House of Bishops. The vote stood
lS2 for, 1853 against.
The amendment of DR.. Huntington, OF
New York, making an exception in the
case Of the innocent party to a divorce
granted on the ground of adultery, was
rejected by vote OF 15S to 173. The re-
suit OF the vote in the Committee Of the
Whole was reported to the House OF
Deputies, which Will vote on the matter.
The result, however, may not be the
same, for in that House the vote of thirty
delegations is required to carry a meas
ure, the divided delegations virtually
counting among the nays. No time was
set for q, final vote by the House, but
it presumably will be taken tomorrow.
HOUSE OF DEPUTIES.
In the House OF Deputies this morning,
Rev. DR.. McI<im had the resolutions pro-
yiding for a permanent Committee on
Capital and Labor taken from the cal
ender by a two-third vote, and they were
adopted almost unanimously.
The committee report on the proposed
new canon of solomniza ton of marriage
was taken up. Rev. Hudson Stuck, of
Dallas, Texas. deprecated certaiw charges
that had been made of the moral condi-
ton OF society in Roman Catholic counl
tries on account Of the non-pernlission OF
divorces.

DEATH OF DAVID RER(.REN
An Exemplary Young Business
Man of Stockholm Passes
Away.

On Sunday last the people of
Stockholm and vicinity were
called upon to pay the last tri-
butte of respect to one Of their
citizens, David Bergren, a young
man who enjoyed the esteem Of
the whole community, as was
evidenced by the concourse of
people attending the funeral
services. The sermon was
preached by Rev. Larson, the
pastor of the church, and re-
marks were also made by Rev.
Carlson in both the Swedish
and English language, while Ole
B. Fornell, the Sunday School
superintendent, spoke of the
young mans interest and work
in Sunday school affairs. The
following obituary notice has
been sent US by friend of the
deceased:
David Bergren was born in Kandi-
yohi county, Mimi, February q,
1875. He attended the common school
until 1890, when he came with his
parents to South Dakota. He went to
Milbank high school for some time
and later took business course in
the Northwestern University, Mime
apolis.
AT the age of eighteen he began
teaching and taught five terms with
marked success. A year, and half
ago in partnership with his father,
he started a general hardware busi-
ness, at Stockholm. He has been an
active church member since he was
fifteen years of age. His beautiful
christian character has been an in
spiration to whole community as we'll
as to the Sunday school he served so
faithfully.
After several weeks of severe suffer-
ing he closed his eyes to earthly
scenes and passed to the realms hid
from human sight. His last words
were prayer for his Sunday school
class and for his church. He was
cut off in the prime of life: but we
think his years were we'll spent. Re-
membering that it is not years that
measure the value of life, but motives.
Life is nothing if it is merely to live
or to exist. It is living for something.
"We live in deeds not years; in
thoughts, not breath. He lives most
who feels the noblest; acts the BEST
In his last sickness although very
weak, he would sing his favorite
hymn which we believe came from his
heart.
II shall soon be at home over there,
BY tie side of the river of light,
Where the saints all immortal and fair,
Are robed in their garments of
White.'

Rev. H. P. Fisher, NJ. A., has
been secured to deliver his lee
ture on "Wendell Phillips, Orator
and Agitalor' at the Congrega
tional church, Tuesday, March
Goth. Mr.. Fisher is fine schol-
ar and is wholly in sympathy
with his subject. Speaking Of
his lecture in the "Glyndon
Church lecture Course" the Red
River Valley News says as fol
lows:
The name of Wendell Phillips bears
a charm: his oratory and his life are a
present inspiration, although the pres
ent generations are almost skeptical
when told what such man found nec
and in Mass achusetts in his day! Mr..
Fishers discourse was worthy of his
noble subject, depicting in fine terms
the graces of his oratory, his almost
matchless combination Of qualities of
tenderness and courage. clear percep-
tion Of things right and the resource
for the doing Of them, patient, heroic,
confident and sacrificing. Nor forget
ting the crowning virtue of endurance!
A we'll rendered extract from Phillips
lecture on "Daniel O'Connell, the
Irish agitator. was a choice feature
of the lecture. On the whole one of
the best productions on a Glyndon
platform which is good deal to say
and be responsible for.
