commons yesterday. Mr.. Broderick's
presentation of the supplementary
army estimate furnished Sir John
Blundell Maple CONSERVATIVE with an
opportunity to REFER to yesterdays
report of the committee appointed to
inquire into the purchases of horses
for the British army which, while
censuring Sir John lor unJustiiable at
tacks on the integrity OF officers. found
that exorbitant prices were paid. Sir
Jonn asserted that has original state
ments were true, and submitted pa
pers to show that certain officers
were mixed up in horse swindles at
Buda Pest and Vienna. He also as
serted that the evidence before the
committee revealed gross scandal.
Mr.. Hobhouse, member o. the in
quiry committee. defended the officers.
but declared that the Investigations
revealed alarming shortcomings in the
remount department. On one con-
tract for horses amounting to 111.000
pounds the profit was $4,000 pounds.
Assuming that similar percentage or
profit was made on the 100000
pounds spent In remounts, the speaker
estimated that the war office had be-
slowed on the contractors profit
.otalllng 100000 pounds. The re-
mount department was clearly inef-
ficient, and the official at the head Of
it ought to be dismissed.
At that juncture Sir William Yer.

sired some explanation regarding the

flippantly, whereupon there were loud

of the house for members to treat one

Henry Laboucher (liberaD declared
that somebody ought to be hanged in

moved the reduction OF the vote.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary of
the war office, explained that all the
transactions complained of had been
conducted by the yeomanry commit.

the first discharge of the Padilla's

he could see the men on the decks Of
both ships plainly and while the Pa
dilla seemed to be crowded with men.
the government ship was short hand
ed. The Padilla was firing every
gun, while the other ship being short
handed was only able to respond with
her Calling guns. The Lautaro re-
ceived terrible fire. The Padilla
went round and round her, raking her
fore and aft until the gunboat was
a dismantled hulk. The men on the
government boat fought nobly but the
odds against them were too great.
Even while the flames were raging
the soldiers on the Lautaro kept firing
their guns until they were forced to
jump overheard. Two hours after
the fight began the Lautaro sank and
her boilers blew up with a great roar
According to Bourgeois. the crew Of
the Liberal gunboat made no attempt
to rescue the crew of the other ship,
who were vainly attempting to swim
in the harbor and whose cries for
help could be heard on shore.

SAYS THE SOUL MAY DIE.
Parkhurst Overrides the Presbyterian
Theory of Immortality.

New York. Jan. 2s.-In a sermon
on Immortality" the Rev. DIR. Char.
les n. Parkhurst, In the Madison
Square Presbyterian church declared
against the popular evangelical belief
that all souls are immortal. He ex-
pressly gave 1t as his opinion that
the Scriptures do not teach immunity
of the soul from death, and that this
soul must be taken care Of in this life
else 1t will perish utterly, either at
the death of the body or after long.
er or shorted period OF the life beyond
the grave. DR.. Parkhurst said in part:
There is nothing in the Scriptures
or In things that encourage us to feel
that soul can be kept from dying any
more than body. unless 1t Is take
care of. There is no warrant from
the Bible or from nature for supposing
that a soul carries with itself q policy
OF insurance against its own eventful
obliteration."
The sermon is attracting some At
tention owing to the fact that most
Presbyterians adhere to belief in The
doctrine of Immortality of the soul.
