NO GENERAL INCREASE.
Seems Thav no Great Advances In
Rates VIII be Made.

New York. Dec. 21.-The Journal of
Commepce win say tomorrow:
For some ime past reports have been
current that beginning with the first
of the year railroad freight rates will
be Increased on general merchandise
shipments, the advance to be made,
not in the class rates themselves, but
by shifting various goods from a lower
to higher class rating, which would
practically result in increased rates
on merchandise thus changed.
1t may now be stated definitely, how
ever, that there win be no general in
crease in rates on the first of the year
on goods shipped at class rates. The
new official freight classification sched-
ule OF the trunk lines which will take
effect on Jan. /, have been completed
and is about to be distributed A
printed copy of this revised classifica-
tion has been procured by a represen-
tative of this journal, and careful
comparison with the old schedule
proves that no general increase in
rates has been effected, and, further,
there do not seem to be any heavy adj
vances on any OF the principal kinds OF
merchandise as a result Of transferring
goods from one class to another. There
are, in all. some 200 changes: some of
these will impose a slight increase in
freight rates, while many show actual
reductions.

TRINITYS NEW PASTOR.
Rev. A. NJ. Williams Preached to
Large Congregations.

AhrEe NOhENfBattOhSs
Rev. A. NJ. Williams, the new pastor
of Trinity Church, preached yesterday
to large and appreciative congrega-
tons. The sermon at night was short
but instructive and was taken from the
fourth verse, of the eleventh chapter
Of Hebrews the text being LET God be
witness to our righteousness"
The story of Cain and Abel was TAX
en- as the foundation for the sermon
and the spirit which prompted each in
his offering to God, was dwelt upon.
God looked into the heart of EACH"
said he, "and saw that Abers Offering
was made with a spirit to righteous
ness, while Gains was not. The lat
ter had no gody spirit in his Offering
and made II more as a custom than
anything else. There are many times
an offering or a deed is presented when
there is not the right spirit to it, and
il the proper spirit is not there the
deed carried with ii no righteousness.
This was~the case with Cain and God
saw it in his heart.
The world is too harsh in its judg
ment of righteousness" continued MIR.
Williams land we often Judge each
other wrongly, but God never does
Righteousness is shown by the man
ner in which we meet and overcome
obstacles and the deed Is taken for its
value by the spirit we put in it, Keep
good in your heart and deeds and the
spirit is right"
other worldly instances of deeds of
righteousness were shown and the aid
which God presents to man in his eff
forts. The steam power and other mo-
tives that carry us across the country,
and the great vessels that bear us
safely over the seas are all accomplish
ed because God sees the proper spirit
In the effort to success. and lends his
aid to man. This is righteousness"
he said, because the spirit is true or
else the same would never have been
accomplished" Several other illustra-
tions of godly spirit and righteousness
were ably presented by Mr.. Williams.
At the close of the services many
remained to greet their new pastor.
Mr.. Williams is a preacher OF elo-
quence and force. He is popular with
the congregation, and was given an
enthusiastic reception.

CROPS FAIL IN FINLAND.
A Great Loss ia Suffered by the
People.


People.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-THE average
grain crop gathered in Finland is val
ued at $30,000,000 The estimated value
of the 1902 crop is $40, 900. While
this loss is generally distributed
throughout Finland, 1t is almost total
in the northern third of the country
Peas and beans generally have failed,
and the potato crop has not been gath
cred; the hay has rotted OF been swept
away by floods. The disaster is due to
the late spring. the nearly continuous
chilly rains and the early frost, which
was recorded Aug. 10. In the north
there have been only half dozen days
when 1t did not rain.
The rains also spoiled the fishing
SO complete was the failure of vege-
tation that dead birds by the hundreds
have been found in the forest. The
crop failure is the worst that has been
experienced for the last fifty years. 1t
is hoped, however, that better methods
of communication will facilitate the
work of relief and avoid wholesale
deaths by hunger and typhus.
Count Bobriokoff, governor general
Of Finland. has issued an appeal for
help in Russia, and a voluntary relief
committee has been organized by Fin
ianders with branches throughout the
country. The Anglo-American Church
here is affiliated with this committee.

FISHERMEN SAW AN
OIL STEAMER BURNING.
Casualty Reported Near the Harbor
of Gloucester.

Casualty Reported Near the Harbor
of Gloucester.
Gloucester, Mass, Dec. Alt is be-
lieved that a large vessel. either a
tank steamer with oil, or a sailing
craft loaded with some highly inflam-
mable material, was burned tonight In
Massachusetts Bay, about twenty
miles outside of Boston harbor.
About 1870 O'Clock tonight two Bos-
ton fishermen came into port and re-
ported that they passed within two
miles of the burning vessel. but did not
attempt to ascertain her identity. The
crew of one of them. which passed to
the leeward, reported smelling burning
oil and stated that the vessel was a
very large one. They were unable to
say, however, whether she was a
steamer or a sailing vessel, but they
thought the former.
The vessel was first noticed about 4
o'clock this afternoon by Keeper Bal
ley of Eastern Point light at the en-
trance of this harbor. At that time
the vessel was apparently enveloped in
thick smoke, and Bailey had been
watching her for only a few minutes
when there came a sudden explosion,
followed By flames.
Mr.. Bailey notified the Dolliver' S
Neck life saving crew. who at once
started for the ship. But the weather
was tempestuous, and after getting
some ten miles off shore. and still a
considerable distance from the burn
ing vessel, they became exhausted and
turned back.
Just before they did so they saw a
small schooner, evidently fisherman,
run close to the vessel, and after lin
gerfng few minutes. sailed away
This led them to believe that she had
been able to rescue some of her crew.
