IN THE shipbuilding trust inquiry in
New York yesterday Mr. Nixon while
on the stand said that the statement in
the prospectus that the actual cash on
hand OF the shipbuilding company on
August / 1902, was 81, 800, ITO was moi
true, and that he understood that $500,
600 vas the actual cash on hand the
statement that the earnings were SO, 255,
600 was incorrect; that the earnings
were 81, 900, 600 less than this, and that
he had criticised the statement when il
was made. In answer to questions Mr..
Nixon said Max Pam had taken control
of the reorganization of the shipyards
company, under directions from Mr..
Schwab, who was the dominant factor in
the situation. Mr.. Pam prepared all the
documents and agreements. Mr.. Nixon
said he signed and executed these docu-
ments, believing that as they had been
prepared by lawyers they we're all right.
Among these we're two mortgages, one
for so, 600, 600 and another for Sc, 600,
600. When cross-questiOned concern
ing the affairs Of the trust, Mr.. Nixon
lost his temper but he must remember
that many people lost their bank ac-
counts by the wrecking of the concern.

Mus, Protcstantism Fan 4?

Pittsburg, Nov. 7.-Championing the
name "The Catholic Church of America
for the Protp ant Episcopal Church, the
Rev. f. NJ. O. ndenin, of New York,
said before the Congress Of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church Of America here
yesterday. ''Let us ask what it is about
this name Of ours that has called down
embittered criticism. Unquestionably il
is the presence of the word Protestant,
word which in these Anglo-CatholiC
days has come to be cordially disliked,
not to say hated. The mighty house Of
Professionalism is falling just as sure a;
death is coming" The Rev. w. r.
Huntington, rector of Grace Church,
New York, while admitting that a
change of name was desirable, said the
present one is good. He defended the
term Protestant" which in Latin is
the equivalent of martyr.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was in
great agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remembering
that she had a bottle Of Chamberlan's
Pain Balm in the house, she thought she
would try it. In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks was
well. Mrs. Benson is well knwn resi-
dent of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic liniment and especially valu-
able for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains.

RAN BLOCKADE.

A dispatch from Puerto Plata, SantC
Domingo says: The Clyde Line steam
ship Cherokee has run the blockade anc
is now discharging her cargo here. The
government gunboat had orders to sink
her if she tried to force the blockade. A
dominican warship stopped the Clyde
line steamer Cherokee as the latter wa:
nearing Puerto Plata and informed the
captain that he could not enter that port.
The Cherokee then proceeded for SANTANA
and was also prevented from entering that
port, the Minister of War ordering the
captain ofthe Cherokee to proceed direct
to the capital. On the arrival of the vessel
at San Domingo the government demand
ed that the cargo intended for Puerto
Plata and SANTANA be landed at San Do
mingo. Ghe agent of the company and
the captain of the Cherokee repealed to
United States Minister Powell for pro-
lection.
Minister Powell interviewed the Presi-
dent and argued that since the govern
ment of Santo Domingo had not advised
the foreign legations of any blockade it
could not prevent the Cherokee
from entering the ports of Puerto
Plata and SANTANA, and insisted
that the cargo should be landed
at its destination. The President, 10
reply, reiterated his demand that the
Cherokee's cargo be landed at San Do
miugo, but this Minister Powell refused
to permit and declared he would hold
the government responsible should any
violent action be adopted toward the
Cherokee
When the Cherokee was ready to
leave for Azua clearance papers were re-
fused, and it was again demanded that
she land her cargo at Santo Domingo.
Minister Powell wrote a sharp note to
the government, demanding permit for
the Cherokee to depart. The govern
ment refused to allow a pilot to board
the vessel and Minister Powell then in
structed Captain Archibald to take his
ship out and proceed for Aqua, keeping
his cargo aboard and landing it at the
ports of destination.
The energetic action of Minister
Powell has caused great sensation, es-
pecially as his proceeding lacked the
support of an American warship. The
Cherokee left the harbor without a pilot.
The city is quiet, but preparations
looking to its defense are in active prog

cial policy and the tinidity of capital.
But tais is but a bugaboo. The demo-
Gratis on Tuesday won great victories in
New York and Maryland and made big
gains in several other States; yet dis
patches from New York state that

and has often been bathing, and that
only evil minds would call him to ac-
count for so innocent a pastime. The

the fight against Mr.. Greigg will wage

THE New York Tribune, one of the
recognized organs of the republican
patty Of the Uni,ed States, had the fol-
lowing to say yesterday concerning the
Panama matter:
The situation at Panama grows more
seriousau more complicated, and United
Staes responsibility in connection with
IL increases. Thus far that responsibility
has been borne with unimpeachable pro-
priety. and it is 70 be expected that II
will thus be borne and discharged
throughout tie whole incident. The
strategic position OF the United States,
automatically speaking, is so strong,
aud the assurance that 'things Will
come our way" is 50 ample, that there
is no need or excuse for anything that
would even look like interested inter
ference. On the higher ground OF honor
and International obligation this country
could not afford to incur the suspicion OF
having in any degree encouraged or aid
ed the secession movement, not even II
in so doing 1t secured the canal. III
canal would not repay us for the loss OF
honor and for the loss of the confidence
of our neighbors. We could better af-
ford to 90 elsewhere for canal, or even
to do without canal, than to incur the
reproach of having conspired against
the integrity of a friendly sovereign
State. 1t is not the business
of the United States to aid rebels in
any country by recognizing their indie
peudence until that independence is an
established fact, or to encourage them by
promising such recognition.
But while the above was being written
the United States was aiding "rebels"
in friendly sovereign State and before
the ink was dry had recognized the ere
public of Panama"
