Hearing on n Bill Proposing an APP
prOpriation for Mrs. Porter.

WASHINGTON, March 30-A sequel to
the famous Fitzjohn Porter case came be-
fore the House committee on military az
fairs to-day when a hearing was given on
the bill authorizing the secretary OF war to
compute the amount OF pay and allowances
of the general during the period OF his en-
forced retirement from the army and maxi
widow and children. The hearing was at
tended by several OF General P0rter's old
comrades in arms and by his daughter and
sons. When, at the instance of General
Grant. an army board passed upon the case
of General Porter. the recommendation was
made that he be restored 10 rank and pay.
Acting on this Congress IN 1856 restored The
general 10 his rank, but there was no resto-
ration Of the pay during the long period
that he was out Of the army. IL was stated
at the hearing to-day that the present
measure is a simple act OF justice 20 the
family. who had suffered along with the
was in retirement. In this time, IL was
stated. General Porter had given most OF
his time and means 10 clearing his good
name. being unable TO make provision for
the future for himself ana family. Gen.
Charles G.. Sawtelle. who served with Gem
eral Porter. paid "A tribute TO his bravery
and ability as "A soldier. Gen. W. w. Dud-
ley. who served under General Porter at the
second battle Of Bull Run. also testified to
his character as a soldier and commanding
officer. General Dudley pointed out that
the preamble OF the act restoring General
Porter 10 the army recited the purpose TO
DO justice 10 him, and that the restoration
of pay was but a part OF the Justice In the

is that the whole islands are either blazing
with insurrection. or else that outbreaks

leading. The real truth is that I'm . per

is no insurrection. and Americans 60 about

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The House
to-day made very slow progress on the
river and harbor bill. disposing of only
thirty pages and leaving fifty pages still to
be considered. The river and harbor COM
mittee again to-day succeeded in defeat
ing every amendment offered.
Mr.. Bellamy, of North Carolina. during
the day took occasion to denounce the
Crumpacker proposition to investigate
Southern election laws as designed to stir
up sectional strife. He appealed TO the
conservative Republicans to defeat the reso-
lutions. The South, he said. had reached n
solution of its difficulties after many years,
when this proposition was advanced. which
would undo all that had been accomplished
toward establishing peace and prosperity.
The South, he said. was sick and tired of
sectional strife. Her people loved the Union
and were proud of its honor and achieve
nents. He asserted that for sinister pur-
poses some members of the other side were
again sowing the seeds of discOrd and he
appealed to the conservative. air-minde
men of the Republican party to vote down
q proposition fraught with so much evil to
the South.

truthful. 1t is doubtless true that the intro
ductiOn Of meters would considerably pro-
long the life OF the gas supply. but it is
contended by some that this would tend to
make the use Of il a luxury. This. how
ever. is denied in the statement made by
the Trust company. which claims that in
Chicago 5000 people pay less than 80 cents
a month for the same service for which
s2 a year is charged in this city. If it
can be shown that an adequate supply can
be furnished on the terms proposed by the

hardship to those least able to meet 1t,

CAUSE FOR DISCREET SILENCE.

Less than half of the Democrats of the
House at Washington held a caucus on
Wednesday and decided to insist that the
majority shall entertain, discuss at length
and vote upcn resolutions which can do
the Beers no good and which are designed
to compel Great Britain to once more in
form the United States that it cannot ac-
cept its offers of mediation. Doubtless that
small minority knows that no good to the
Beers can result from any further action
ing the war in South Africa. 1t is difficult
TO believe that those who are behind this
movement desire TO get the United States
into an embarrassing position such as will
result from any interference. yet such will
be the result. Only one purpose can war
rant any attempt TO offer mediation at the
present time, and that purpose would be 10
follow up our request for mediation with a
mediation after IT has once been politely
declined and after a general notice has been
given To the powers that similar offers
will not be listened to would merit an open
rebuff that would be humiliating TO the
American people in the last degree. IL may
be added here that the Beers have not been
recognized as belligerents by any govern
ment In the world. They have no relations
with any government i'm the world as 4
government EXCEPT Great Britain. To in

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PACED

tions which would involve criticism ~ him
OF his superior officer. General Otis. 1t ap-
peared that there was n variance OF opin-
ion in the committee itself as 10 how far
General Hughes was at liberty TO violate
army rules and proprieties, even in answer
to committee questions. and the question
itself was left unsettled.
While General Miles did not expect when
he gave his testimony that il would be
made public in any form. he is now willing
that ii shall be published by the committee,
making himself the broad statement that
the statements which were given 10 the
committee were Misrepresentation, totally
unwarranted and untrue. q
The omission by the President of his
usual ride this afternoon, and the fact that
for nearly four hours, led TO the suppose
ton that they were discussing General
Miles's testimony. This, however. was an
erroneous conclusion. for they were talk
ing about an army regulation, and the
secretary was or the testimony
until he returned to the War Department
very late in the afternoon.
Secretary Root exhibited little feeling
when his attention was called 10 the pro-
ceedings before the committee. He re-

er General Miles had said anything which
would require action at the hands of the
department or the President. the secretary
firmly declined TO express any opinion, for

before reaching any decision.

TO BE TRIED FOR HERESY
THE REV GRANVILLE LOUTHER, ID.
ID, SERVED WITH PAPERS.
Kansas Preache Charged with Dis
terminating Doctrines Not TOler-
ated by the Methodist Church

MCPHERSON, Kan, March 20. Rev.
Granville Louther, ID. D., pastor of a local
church, was served with papers at a
Methodist Episcopal conference here to-
day charging him with heresy and setting
forth that he would be tried at Arkansas
City, Kan, on March 20. Rev. Louther,
who is a member of the Southwest Meth
odist Conference, is charged with being
guilty of disseminating doctrines con-
trary TO and subversive of the doctrines
of the Methodist Episcopal Church." and
it is believed that he is atheistic and evolu-
tionistic.
Rev. Louther is charged with making and
teaching the following doctrines in viola
ton of the Confession OF Faith and the
Catechism:
That the serpent who talked to Eve
was a man, one of the race TO which she
and Adam belonged, that he had not come
into a consciousness of God, therefore,, was
classed with the beasts, and that there
were other inhabitants or members OF the
race, if not, how did Cain find his wife in
the land of Nod, where none of Adams
children except Cain had gone, If not
whence came the daughters of men whom
the sons of God took for their wives? The
reasonable Interpretation is that the de-
scendants of Aoam were called sons OF
God, because. having entered into a con-
SclOuS knowledge OF GOQ, Iney WOufu cldlHl
Him as their creator and worship Him.
The others, not knowing God, were called
sens and daughters OF men.
THAT Adam and Eve as first created had
no more perception of their obligations of
obedience; that in eating OF the fruit of the
tree of good and evil they had done moth
ing except what the others about them
were doing, and what they themselves had
formerly done, that is, live like beasts, but
they had a higher vision of spiritual things
than formerly and consequently hey felt
guilt.
THAT Christ died for men to show men
how to die for man; mat this willingness to
Gle for man should be multiplied by ex-
actly the number of disciples of Christ and
that the atonement can never be completed
until this idea prevails
Mr.. Louther has been identified for years
with the Kansas State Holiness Association
as its president. He believes that in religion,
as we'll as in world building. God is pro-
ceeding from lower to higher forms and
that this process must continue in the flu
ture as it has in the past. He contends that
creeds are valuable only as landmarks;
saws that lack of freedom for the soul is
like COMPRISING a wOmaH'S waist in cor
sets to compel il to grow according to a
certain fashionable ideal, and declares that
religion can never reach the fullneSS of
naturalness until it is free from fear of
persecution for its highest and hottest con-
CeptS.

Ever since General Miles has been at
Washington as the senior major general.
and since his appointment as lieutenant
general, he has been in trouble. He was in
trouble with the Cleveland administration,
and he was in trouble will President Nc
kinney and his secretaries of war. Nobody
gave President Mckinley so much trouble,
yet in his indness he made him lieutenant
general. He showed nc appreciation. When
Mr.. Root became secretary of war he tried
to conciliate General Miles, but Cancellation
involved the transfer of the authority of
the President. He is now angry because his
scheme for fighting the Filipinos was not
approved. and goes before the Senate COM
mittee to oppose the bill of the War De-
partment for the organization of the army,
declaring that he will resign if it should be-
come a law, despite the fact that it con-
tains a provision that the changes which it
makes shall not affect him. Many men who
were friends of General Miles three years
ago have become very weary of him.

The denomination of Representative Ian
dis by practically a unanimous vote is
action upon which Republicans and others
beyond the Ninth district may express ap-
probation. 1t is not personal congratulation
to Mr.. Lands. but an expression of graft
fcation caused by action which will con-
tinue in the House a man who has shown
marked capacity for congressional service.
Mr.. Lands is an all-around useful man i'm
the House. Few men in the House can
exert more influence for or against "A meas
ure. He is popular in all parts of the
country. and his championship is regarded
as highly effective for any measure. The
Journal wishes 10 see a delegation of Re-
publicans in the House from Indiana which
will make the State a power in legislation
as is Iowa and a part of Illinois. The ability
and merit Of Mr.. Baldwin are not over
locked. With Mr.. Landis's experience in
Congress Mr.. Baldwin's success would have
been equal cause for congrasulation.
