Says He's So Far Ahead of Park
hurst That, Well.
New York. Oct. 29.-At the early
morning service to-day Dowie an
nounced to his followers another
crusade. He told his host to return
to Zion City and save their money
against the expenses of another cru
sade, because "the good work of
spreading the restoration message was
going to be carried far and wide"
Before he appeared on the platform
at the noon meeting 1t was announced
that fifty converts had been secured
during the campaign of the Zionists
in this city and that they would be
baptized on Sunday.
Concerning Rev. Charles H. Park
hurst, Dowie said:
There's that miserable Parkhurst
He tolls over his sermons and his hear
ers toll while listening to them. 1 have
made up my mind that Parkhurst isn't
worth powder and shot. He never in
his life addressed as many people as
1 addressed in one week. / never heard
that DR.. Parkhurst had to get the po-
lice to keep people out of his church
as they have to do at my meetings.
What do care what they say about
me? Bah! 1 preach to more than a
million every week. I've had a pretty
good time in New York, but there's a
better time coming"

Minister to Paris.
Paris, Oct. 29.-The Russian Foreign
Minister, Count Lamsdorf and M. Del
case, the Minister for Foreign Affairs
of France, spent most of the day at
Versailles in conference.
Although the general impression con-
tinues that Count Lamsdorff's visit re-
lates to affairs in the East and Far
East, the Associated Press has reason
to know that the autograph letter OF
the Car, which the Count presented
10 President Loubet, especially dis
closes that one Of the chief causes of
the visit is the purpose to express the
qualification of the Car at the recent
course of France in extending the
cause of international peace. While
1t 10 impossible to give the letter
textually its essential features follow:
The letter is written in the warmest
and most fraternal spirit. The Gear
refers to the continuance of the strong
bonds between France and Russia,
which operate toward the maintenance
of general peace, and expresses satis-
faction at the fact that France, in
pursuance Of the same sentiment, has
strengthened international ties by the
Anglo-French and Franco-Italian en-
tentes

PARKS ON THE STAND.
Some Things He Admitted, others
He Denied.

New York, Oct 29.-The trial of Sam
uel j. Parks, walking delegate of the
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union
No. 2, on the charge VI extortion, prob
ably will be concluded tomorrow.
Parks was a witness to-day. While
he admitted that great deal of the
testimony given by the witnesses for
the prosecution was true, he testified
that many of the accusations made
against him were misrepresentation
of fact.
Two or three times Assistant District
Attorney Rand, by severe cross fire
of questions, apparently had Parks in
an awkward place, but Mr.. Osborne
and the other lawyers for the defense
were very watchful, and their persist
ent objections to leading questions
were invariably sustained by the court.
Parks made no secret of his having
received the $500 from the complaining
witnesses, but he insisted that this
money was paid in legitimate BUSH
ness transaction with the Tiffany Stu
dos, the corporation on the complaint
of which Parks indictment in this case
was secured.
Parks, while in poor health, seemed
to be full of energy throughout to-
days ordeal. Several times the prose-
cutting lawyer attempted to get on
record the fact that Parks had bank
account of magnitude beyond the pos
sibilities of an ordinary mechanic, but
each attempt was overruled or cut
short through the strenuous efforts OF
counsel for the defense.
The line of defense was uncovered
when Parks, in answer to Mr.. o.
borne's questions, said that he paid the
$500 to Treasurer johnson of the union.
Mr.. Osborne dramatically called upon
Johnson to stand up"
Mr.. Osborne said: stand there
where we can see YOU" and then turn
ing to the witness, asked: rs this the
man to whom you paid the $500?"
Parks was about to reply, when As
sistant District Attorney Rand object
ed, and Parks was not allowed to an
swer.
Parks denied absolutely that he or
dered any strike in the Tiffany case or
that he knew anything of it. and said
that the fine was imposed because the
firm was on record as a non-union firm
The Initiation fee, he said, was levied
by the association, and he told Fra zee
that 1t would place the firm on record
as a union firm with all large contrac-
tors in the city.
Parks admitted that during the eight
years that he had lived in New York
he had no other means of support than
his position as walking delegate.
