Hull and Mrs. Hull We're guests of the
president and his wife at dinner in the
white house. Altho their conversation
was purely social, as should be the case
at all social entertainments, the presi-
dent incidentally referred to the trip
which Capt. Hull had made to the Phil
ippines. and in few sentences he
learned so much as to desire TO know
more. Consequently, few days ago the
president invited Capt Hull to meet him
al the white house in the afternoon for
q conference on official matters. The
Iowa congressman promptly appeared,
and the president kept him for almost
two hours, making dilisent inquiries
concerning all that he had seen and
heard while in the Philippines. con-
gresham Hull has conversed IN conl-
dence with his colleagues concerning the
interest displayed by the president but
he would not talk upon the subject TOR

ference one of nature which should not
be publicly discussed, even before Iowa

house of representatives who are hon

tic life and is SO familiar with national
affairs that the president finds in him
che of his safest and wisest counselors.

MODERN PREACHER FIRED.
Massachusetts, Farmers Opposed to
Building a Stone Church.

Mddlefield, Mass. Jan. 2f.-Because
Rev H NJ. Bowden, pastor of the Mid

q new house of worship of modern con-
struction of stone with fancy decora-
tions and corners. instead of duplicating
century-old structure of wood, in
straight lines and angles. burned last
summer, he has been dismissed from the
church.
At the annual meeting of the church it
was voted that the clerk be instructed to
rotify Rev. Mr. Bowden that in three
months his services as pastor of the
church would cease.
The dispute that has caused the pas
tors dismissal has been brewing some
raonths, and involves summer cottagers

cottagers precipitated the trouble. The

Exaqaerate Condition at Appleton.

Appleton, Wis, Jan. 27.-The health
officers report that seventeen cases of
smallpox exist in the city, all properly
quarantined Reports of hundreds of
cases existing are said to be false.
There has been disposition among
disciples of DIR. Rodermund to deny the
mild cases as smallpox, and this has
made quarantine difficult to enforce. AT
a meeting of physicians Friday night a
series of resolutions was adopted pro-
testing against this attitude of many
people
No schools have been closed. no gen.
eral quarantine projected as reported,

AS to the financial end of the war and

hest expressed by thi. editorial utter
ance in the Daily Graphic. made in COM
menting upon the table of casualties:
The enormous bill which the United
Kingdom has already paid to sustain
Eer prestige and her honor in South Az
rioa will not, 1t is obvious, complete the
disbursements necessary to bring the
war to conclusion. Taking the period
from the commencement of the military
operations until March 81 next, we find
that the total amount ear-marked for
war purposes In South Africa reaches
G151, 900, and, as 1T is possible that
en- additional G9,000,000 will be annexed
by the chancellor of the exchequer from
the anticipated surplus for the purpose
Of tiding the war expenditures over I'M
til the new fiscal year, we may put down
ESQ, oOo,o 900 as the total amount which
will have been paid out by March 81,
1902. Thereafter provision will have to
be made for carrying on operations Wig
orously until the Beers lay down their
arms, and experts affirm that we may
look forward to the expenditure of a fur
Their 100000 900 to gain the desired end.
On that basis the total cost of the war
will approximate f220,000,o0O.
During the past hundred years the
only war in which we We're engaged that
ran into the hundreds of millions was
the peninsular war, which during the
years 1874 alone cost us 5000, 600.
Our fathers footed the bill then. and we
shall foot the bill now, for. like our
erandsres, once we have taken up the
burden, we do not intend to law it down
