du Boulogne station, which was pro-
fusely decorated for the occasion. After

rival and visit festive occasion, and the
streets were profusely bedecked with
banners, while number of triumphal
arches marked the route from the sta
ton to the Embassy. At the Embassy

ors. 1t is estimated that go, 900 of his

ent at the exposition in 1900.

police work for Italy. Lord Cranborne,

the governments course, Mr.. Brodrick

tons were inevitable, because of Great
Britain's treaty engagements. lie denied
that the government was pulling chest
nuts outOf the fire for Italy, and explain
ed that Capt. Plunkett had been carried
too far by his eagerness to attack; his
advance, he said, was undertaken on
his own responsibility, and was no part
of Gen. Manning's scheme. 1--WE are
under no treaty engagement with Italy to
hold Mudug." continued Mr.. Brodrick.
"With regard to the future, there Is no
intention to hold or administer the coun-
try we are now in. Our policy is to keep
the coast line and maintain the attach

by treaty. We shall do everything pos

DENOUNCED BY BISHOP.

Gather Black, the Protestant
clergyman of London whose pro-

vorced persons have attracted con-
siderable attention, has written an
other letter to the newspapers on the
subject of the Observation-Disclosures

Henry White, of the United States en-
bassy, has not replied to his previous
letter. he has now cabled to New York
papers asking eff the Americans who
represent religion think the secretary OF
their embassy ought to join with a dis
obedient clergyman in back-door plot
to outwit the Archbishop of Canterbury
and the Bishop of London" The gal
leries and the floor of the little church,
in the shadow of Westminster Abbey,
we're crowded yesterday in anticipation
of the bishops announcement in the
Vanderbilt- Rutherfurd case. Arising
amid intense silence, the prelate said
he had hoped to present to the confer
ence an explanation from the officiating
clergyman in the matter of the grave scandal
which recently had occurred in the diocese. :"
He could only surmise that family bereaye-
ment. the death of a child, was responsible
for Rev. Mr. MADDEN having entirely ignor-
ed the bishops letters and messages. The
bishop characterized the use Of st. Marks
for the performance of the ceremony as con-
stituting grave, moral scandal and ex-
,,rascad his determination not To enter the
church until due PREPARATION had been made.
81 hereby express my earnest wish" the
bishop said. "that the clergy do not celebrate
such marriages, and | certainly shall not
enter St. Marks Church until reparation has
been made for the insult thus offered TO the
diocese" The bishops remarks were vigor'
ously applauded and the session ended with
the passage of a vote Of thanks moved by the
suffragan bishop of London.

shaw, the operator there, had be-

had turned the danger signal before los
ing his mind. When Ranshaw re-
ported for duty he was seemingly in his
usual health. He had been partly
paralyzed some time before and had
been removed from a more important
station to Poag, where the work is
lighter and where he might have a
chance to recuperate. 1t is be-
lieyed from developments that Ranshaw
began to lose his mind early in
his nights work. Growing more and
more obliyious to his duties, yet receiy-
ing and relaying train orders mech2nic-
ally, he finally, with his last conscious
act, probably realizing the danger that
confronted him, turned on the red light
to warn the on-rusbing flyer The train
men put the mailman on the train and
took him to his home, at Litchfield. He
was removed to the asylum.

TUE SPEECHES at the dedication OF
the buildings al the Worlds Fair at ST.
Louis Yesterday smell of the lamp.
They had been well-prepared and in
the main were interesting from the ex-
pansionist standpoint. Mr.. Roosevelt
drew a contrast between the type OF ex-
pansion represented by the development
of the Louisiana Purchase, out OF when
free, selfgoverning States we're carved,
and the subjugating expansion OF
Greece and Rome. He predicted that
the United States is destined to play the
part of the mightiest of the nations
Mr.. Cleveland dwelt on the consclen-
tious attention to constitutional restraints
shown in Jefierson's time and what he
termed the fippant attempts IN more
recent periods to adjust the constitution
to the purposes of trade and con-
yenience. He also pointed out how
Providence has favored the American
nation. Mr.. Roosevelts prediction
NAV prove to be correct. But the history
of Greece and Rome shows the vanity oil
all mundane things, and that nations
have waxed and waned since the dawn
Of history.
