Clark Recalls Former Triumph.

The reference of Chemulpo recalls glorious incident of the American attack upon the Corean forts on the Salee River, where Schley led the charge which re- suited in the capture of the native strong holds after two days of severe fighting This was in 1871. some years before the or ganizatiOn of the little Cabal in the Navy Department for the purpose of dis crt diting heroic officers of the American navy in the interest of absentces and favorites.
 No one can read this admirable letter from one distinguished fighting sailor to another without perCeiving what his opinion must be of the so-callcd Samp- son-Schley controversy. It bears strik- ing testimony to many facts which the majority of the American people have not as yet pcrmtter to be obscured. It is Captain Clark rebuttal of the sland- CTS of the navy ring. It Is Captain Clark s recognition of the man under whose com mand he fought. and of the modesty. the courage. and the generosity of that man.
 There can be no doubt at all that if a letter similar to this had seen the light for the first time few weeks ago, when the department pack were in full cry upon the heels of the victory of Santiago. it's author would have been reprimanded as severely as were Dewey and Miles. The letter contains the expressions and sentiments with relation to Schley which were so exasperating to Messrs. Roose- welt. Root and Long in the utterances of Dewey and Miles.
 Captain Clark is worthy representa- tive of the fighting section of the Ameri- can navy He. is as well qualified as Dewey or Schlcr to stand before the King in that capacity. In view of the record that he has made not only as a

No Politics in It.

"The coal strike should have no effect
on the political situation, because poll
tics has nothing to do with 1t, but
suppose the party in power will be held
responsible just as the Democrats were
blamed for the condition of The conn
try in 1894" said Representative James
McAndrews of Illinois, at the Raleigh,
last evening. Mr.. McAndrews is here
to look after the interests of con
stituent.
"The price of coal in Chicago he
continued. ''is not as steep as it is
here in the East, but it is high. and will
20 higher before the strike is settled.
There is plenty of soft coal at 50 ton,
and some hard coal can be bought for
Sl4 a tor. But there is not much of the
nard black diamonds TO be had at that
price. Ii we should have a sudden cod
snap the price of hard coal would prob
ably soar out of sight
Commenting on the political outlook
in Illinois, Mr.. McAndrews said he
would not be surprised IL a landslide
struck the State this fall and the Demo-
Gratis should elect a successor to Sen
ator Mason. In Mr McAndrews' opin-
ion the Democrats will elect majority

REINCARNAT|ON THE
ROUTE TO IMMORTALITY
The Rev. Columbus Broad
bent's Talkto Theosophists.

Rev. Columbus Broadbent, formerly a
Methodist minister. was the orator at
the meeting of the local Theosophists
at Metzerott's Hall last evening. He
spoke on Race Perfection Through Re-
incarnation"
He took the position, at the beginning
of his discourse, that there is much
common ground between theosophy and
Christianity. Among other things they
have in common, he said. is race per-
fection. He declared that rational and
consistent Interpretation of the Bible
could be made on no hypothesis but that
of reincarnation.
when everything happens as though
q certain hypothesis is true" said Mr..
Broadbent, I'VE are warranted in be-
lieving that 1t is true. In the Bible
everything happens as though the idea
OF birth. one life and death, were not
the true hypothesis of the universe. If
1t were the true hypothesis many things
should happen which do not happen. II
there is but one life time then the hu-
man sense of justice tells us that all
lives should be the same length, that
the same opportunities should be given
to all and that the same pain and same
10Y should come TO everyone.
Origin of the Theory.
"The theory OF reincarnation is that
this life is the result of previous exist
ence. We are living now as we sowed
or reaped in a previous incarnation. We
are receiving what the other life entities
us to. Therefore, in this life we are SOW
ing for some life to come. If we SOW
good seed our future life will reap the
benefit thereof"
Mr.. Broadbent maintained that Christ
taught the reincarnation doctrine in his
conversation with Nicodemus. when he
spoke of the spiritual and physical re-
birth. His reply to his disciples, who
wanted to know what reward they would
receive for their losses IN following him, 1
Mr.. Broadbent said, contained the doc |
trfne of reincarnation. Christ said they |
would receive their reward in the after |
life; after death.
THE route to individual immortality |
then" said Mr.. Broadbent in conclusion,
lis through the living race by means of
birth after death.

The Rev. L. B. Ridgely, formerly rec

America for instruction in Christianity
as well as on other subjects.
The Rev. Mr.. Ridgely took for his
text Isaiah xlix:1S, Lift up thine eyes
around about and behold; all these
gather themselves together and come
to thee" Soon after the mission had
been established at Wuchapg. he said,
the work was extended in different di-
rections. Its influence was soon felt
and it was not long before natives
would go to the mission stations and
ask for instruction in the doctrine of
Christianity. Those who were able to
read, he said, would ask for books that
they might learn more of the subject,
and the coming and the life of Christ
The Work Arduous.
The work, the Rev. Mr. Ridgely said.
was very arduous, because often the
applicants for instruction were moved
by mixed motives. The great majority
were sincere in their motives, being hon
estly anxious 10 learn something of The

good IL might do them in other than a
spiritual way In this connection the
speaker gave detailed account of the
way in which the natives were treated,
and the length of time they have TO con-
tinue their course OF instruction before
being confirmed in the faith.
AS an evidence OF the progress of the
work being done by the Episcopal mis-
sionaries, Mr.. Ridgely said that on last
Easter about 700 natives who had es
poused Christianity were confirmed Dy

REV. DR.. WILSON ON THE
ARMY OF TOMORROW"
breaches in the Hall of Co
lumbian University.
SERMON AN ELOQUENT ONE
Divine Also Recalls the Work of the
Fathers in National and Church Life
and Their Place in History.

Rev. Or. L. B. Wilson delivered the
sermon at the morning service yester-
day before the congregation of the old
Foundry Church, which now worships in
the hall of the Columbian University,
Fifteenth and H Streets. His subject
was THE Army Of Tomorrow. and his
text was Psalms 45: 16, Instead of thy
fathers shall be thy children
DR.. Wilson first gave consideration to
the fathers in national and church life,
their work, their worth. and their place
in history. Acknowledgment was made
of the Indebtedness which the present
owes to the past, to those long since
departed as we'll us to those more re-
Gently removed and those who linger
with us.
Price of Liberty.
He continued: Their sacrifices were
the price of our liberties and wealth
How true they were, how trustful, and
yet, in a proper sense, how self-reliant!
We hail them with our praise. But we
look out toward the days to come and
know that where the fathers stood the
children are to stand.
THE twentieth century will have its
tremendous problems, its fierce battles,
whose issues shall be determined,
whether with bullets or with ballots.
Our children must be the actors in these
coming days, and If we catch the spirit
of the psalm we must believe that the
outlook is not toward eclipse or night,
but toward the growing light of a bet
ter day.
"Yet the making good of this hopeful
word is. under God, upon us. The lives
which grasp the heritage of good must
transmit 1t, not diminished, but aug
nented. Benefjciaries of the past. we
must be the benefactors of the future.
Emulate Our Fathers.
If We praise the fathers we must
emulate them, SO that the army of to-
morrow in its struggle and trial shall be
able to look back in thankfulness to US,
and wreathe our memory with praises
for our steadfastness, our faith, our
self-surrender even as we look up and
give thanks for the worthy lives of
those who have preceded US.
Following up this line of thought Dr..
Wilson said that to this end We must
make our influence tell for most, in the
maintenance Of private virtues and oy
cur support OF all our civil and religious
institutions. which tend toward the de
velopment of character. Special en-
phasis was laid upon the necessity of
the work of the Sunday school
and church.
DR.. Wilson paid hearty tribute to
the character and work of B. H. Slime
metz for so many years actively cOl-
nected with the Foundry Church.
