Columbia's President Says They're Poorer

THE Unsolved Problem of Religion In

the Unitarian Clubs dinner at the st. Denis
President Nicholas Murray Butler OF CO.
lumbia University and the Rev. DR.. Samuel
McChord Crothers Of Cambridge were the

President Butler said that it was the duty
OF the family and the Church to teach

New York may be seen on Sunday mornings
at Columbus avenue and Sixtieth street,
where from 200 to 500 children gather in
the Church OF the Paulist Fathers and are
taught for two hours by devoted and capable
teachers
DR.. Butler said that so little is the Bible
read in these days that the present genera
tion doesn't even understand the BIBLICAL
references Of secular text books. THE
family has abdicated,' he said.
DR.. Crothers said that we don't want
men whose religion qualities all their daily
thoughts and acts. Religious thought,
he said, ought to be kept up to the level
Of college standards Of thinking and re-
lgious teachers should work as faithfully
and earnestly as do those Of the secular
school.

OXFORD HONORS ITALY'S KING.
Degree Conferred on Victor Emmanuel
Welcome in London.

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Nov. 1o-The University Of
Oxford conferred the degree OF doctor
of civil law upon King Victor Emmanuel
III. of Italy to-day.
King Victor and Queen Helena paid their
only visit to London in their Ave day
stay in England this afternoon. Large
crowds extended a cordial greeting to them
as they we're driven to the Guildhall, where
they were entertained at luncheon by the
Lord Mayor. Their route differed from
that of all previous professions OF like
character which have invariably proceeded
by way Of the Strand and Fleet street.
To-day, upon the recommendation Of the
police, the Italian sovereigns proceeded
along the wider thoroughfares OF Holborn
and Oxford street, whore the house win
dows and the sidewalks are . considerable
distance from the carriage tracks. There
was, however. no evidence Of hostility.
There was a general display Of italian
flags. The children Of the Italian schools,
gayly dressed. filed a big stand at the
entrance to the city and sang native songs
Replying to the toast to his health at
the Lord Mayors luncheon, the King ex-
pressed thanks for the universal cordially
that had been manifested. He added
that he was the bearer Of message Of
sincere affection to the King and people
of England. He recalled the visit Of his
grandfather to England half a century
ago, when the Italian nation was enter
ing the struggle for unity and independence.
The sympathetic support Of England at
that time had created tradition of mutual
trust that had never been broken.

The Morning Post Is practically alone
among the leading newspapers in question

editorially condemns what 1t characteizee
as the overwhelming and indecent haste
shown in recognizing Panama as an in
dependent sovereignty.
1t does not see much to admire In the
American diplomacy In the matter except
it's astuteness. Nevertheless, 1t recognizes
the courtesy and patience with which the
United States treated Colombia. It does
not doubt that tho claims Of the French
shareholders will be respected. and con-
cludes by saying that for the world at

GEN. WOOD FIGHTS MOROS.
Trying to Crush Out the Last Show Of
Opposition In JOlo.
Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
MANILA, Nov. 19.-Telegraph advices from
the commander of the coast guard cutter
at Cebu were received to-day to the effect
that Gen. Wood, intending to punish the
Moros who recently killed some American
artillerymen, has landed an expedition OF
900 men on the island of Jolo. This eXpe-
dition Immediately engaged a disorganized
gang of spearnen and riflemen. No details
of the fight are procurable, as the cable
connection is broken.
The indications are that Gen. Wood is
crowding the Moros Of Mindanao and Jolo
with strong and frequent demonstrations
1t is reasonable to anticipate hostities il
the Moros evince the slightest disposition
to fight.
The impression in Manila is that Gen.
Woods campaign will prove to be merely
repetition of the successful campaign
waged against the Moros in Mindanao
by Col. (now Gem Baldwin last year
According to the current gossip in the clubs
Gen. Wood is confident Of success. He
favors the promotion of Major Hugh Scott
to the vacancy occurring in the list Of
Brigadier-Gel erals in January, hence he
regards it as desirable to win a timely vic
tory However, it seems doubtful that
it will be possible to develop without
provocation sufficient opposition for q
respectable SCRAP"

braves crying like babies as they thanked
her for what she had done,
But it was by her watchfulness over legis-
lation that Mrs. Converse did the Indians
the greatest service. The vreeland and the
Whipple bills, de ribalizing In the New York
reservation Inoians, forcing them to IN
dividual ownership of their lands and TO
citizenship, she fought tooth and
nail and succeeded in defeating. She
also bitterly contested the Onondaga
wampum sale, in which John Boyd Thacher
was Interested as purchaser, eventually
winning his case.
In her later days the generous woman,
having stripped herself Of her fortune, In
befriending her Charges" as she called
them, was herself In straitened circum-
stances. Her friends the Indians came
to her aid in many touching little ways
One would come in with turkey. another

Mother" they would say, trying to hide
what they knew was really a charity.
Mrs. Converse published book of poems
entitled -Sheaves" some years ago. Whit.
tier, who was a great admirer and friend
OF hers to the day Of his death, wrote kindly
Of 1t to her, and one Of the treasures In her
rooms was q picture Of the good Quaker
poet, which he sent to her together
with his autograph and the pen with which
he wrote his then last book Of poems.
The real cause Of the death Of Mrs Con-

TAKE TARIFF OUT OF POLITICS.
Chamberlain Asks for a Popular Vote on
His Proposals.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, Nov 19.-Ex- Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain has thus far made ten
speeches detailing his fscal proposals.
These have now been Issued in book form.
The speeches are preceded by an intro
duction, in which Mr.. Chamberlain asserts
that both manufacturers and workers have
already decided in favor Of the principle
of the proposals, He does not doubt that
the policy of free imports is already doomed.
He suggests that the question be now
submitted to national referendum, not
influenced by political considerations as
would be the case in a general election.
Mr.. Chamberlain expresses surprise that
the referendum has never been adopted in
Great Britain as in Switzerland and some
parts of the United States.
He also says, at is the only way in which
the decision of great national questions
can be separated from the complicated
issues Of party government. IT, when a
new policy, not necessarily political, is
submitted it were possible to eliminate
all side issues we might have a national
verdict which all sections would accept"

Representatives. appointed by the Gov

any probability that any sort OF agree

learned, the commission has no credentials
from the Bogota Government.
The commissioners have through steam
ship tickets to Costa Rica. which seems
to be a rather peculiar precaution for them
to have taken!
The arrival of the commissioners caused
some Superficial excitement.
