HE SAYS THE ASSASSINATION WAS THE
RESULT OF THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY.

vineland n. J.. Sept. % (specaD.-Great in
dignation was spread throughout the town to-
day by a sermon preached by the Rev. John II.
Entrekin, at the Wesleyan Methodist Church,
which was interpreted disparagng 20
the late President Mckinley. In referring to
his death, the speaker said his assassination
was a judgment on the government for the
horrible numbering" of the Filipinos and the
furnishing Of munitions Of war to England
with which to murder the Beers. He also said
the assassination of the President in part
the result of the iniquities Of the government
in allowing the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers,
the Morgans and other money kings 10 oppress
the poor. The Rev. Mr.. Entrekin declared that
England would soon be visited by judgment
equally as severe as the calamity that has be-
fallen the United States
Hardly had the speaker uttered these words
before members of his congregation arose and
left the church. One slammed the door behind
him with a bang and uttered the word 'trea-
SON." Prominent among those who heard the
sermon was George Baker, formerly Editor of
The Stamford Conn Herald" He said II am

Yell Nakajima. chief engineer of Tohto

chanics in the University of Toxic. has arrived
IN this city for the purpose of studying it's wharf
ana transportation facilities Mr.. Nakajima ex
poets TO visit certain other American seapor,s
ana tnen make careful study of the harbors
OF London, Liverpool, Marseilles and other Eu
ropean cities. AS result of his investigations
ne hopes to obtain the most practicable method
of making Toxic. which is now twenty miles re-
moved from Transpacihc shipping an available
seaport. where ships of he largest tonnage NAV
load and unload direct from it's piers
The chief engineer is accompanied by his ar,t
assistant Rintaro Naoki. They first made their
home at the Hotel Manhattan but Yesterday
moved To No. 30 West Eighty-third-st.
In speaking yesterday of the proposed i'm,
provement of the harhor of Toxic Mr.. Naoki
said
Japan has suffered greatly from it's lack Of
harbor facilities AT the pr esent time tn. bie
ocean liners must anchor some distance off tha
shore of Yokohama and discharge their carxoss
into small! boats. They cannot come within
twenty miles of Toxic. which is at the head of
land locked bay and near the mouths of thres
large rivers. BY means of dredging ont this
bay. much as New-York Harbor has bean
dredged. the government of Japan hopes 10
make Toxic the chief seaport Of not only the
Japanese Empire. but also of the Orient"
Has not the increased trade With the United
States had much to do with such plan of i'm
| provement?" was asked
THE trade with this country has been one of
the chief causes. and we wish TO encourage a.
! still greater commerce. Now that the Philip
| pines belong to the United States we expect
| that American trade in the Orient will surpass
| that of all the European countries combined
Mr.. Nakajima and myself also are studying
| your sewerage ard disposal systems for the
purpose OF improving the drainage of Toxic
| Now many Of the sewers there lie on the

| Mr.. NaolSi expressed great sympathy for the
