himself to-day. He said he had been in

Rules Regarding Ordination of Minis
ters and Provision Relating to
Mediums Adopted.
ADDRESS BY DR.. GLADDEN.
AT CLOSING SESSION OF THE MIS-
SIoNARY ASSOCIATION.
Bishop Gailor in Favor of Making
the Episcopal Church the Church
of America.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-The National
Association OF Spiritualists OF America and
Canada at to-day's session adopted parts
of the ritual relating to the ordination CT
ministers, designed to give the !organiza-
ton q legal standing. 1t is provided that
any minister settled over a Spiritualist
Church must first be ordained. which. in
turn, cannot take place until he has re-
ceiyed call to the pastorate Of some
church or society until he is appointed
a Spritualist missionary. Candidates for
pastorate or missionary work must have
been at least three years in full fellowship
with the church or society or two years a
licentiate. No person heretofore ordained
otherwise than by national body or state
association is to be deemed ordained until
ordination sanction is obtained from the
trustees Of the National Spiritualist AS
ISOLATION.
A provision was adopted declaring that
mediums in good standing are TO constitute
the associate ministers of Spiritualism.
n warm discussion ensued when an at
tempt was made 10 adopt that part of the
ritual suggested by the committee on usages
which provides christening marriages and
burial ceremonies. Ex-Representative
Charles 4. Schirm, of Maryland, who led
the fight for adoption of the ritual resented
reflections upon his fairness, based on his
service in Congress. He asked that all
such inuendoes should cease, since he had
not feared to jeopardize his chances of re-
turning To Congress by publicly proclaim
ing that he was a Spiritualist. The four
sections of the ritual under dispute were
finally recommitted TO the committee on
uSageS.
The report of President Barrett was sub
mitted. 1t recommended an extension OF
the bond OF union with the Spiritualists OF
Cuba ana Porto Rico and the holding of
Sunday services in st. Louis during the
exposition 1t also recommended that no
international congress of Spiritualists be
held at st. Louis during the exposition, the
English speaking nations opposing it.

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Oct. 22-The Lo-
gansport Common Council last night took
up cudgels in behalf OF Mayor Sidney A.
Vaughn in his fight against the local
Metropolitan police board by repeating the
city ordinance against idling. lettering and
sleeping in public places. which formed the
basis of the drastic measures recently
adopted by the board in its enforcement.
The fight against the board was started
few weeks ago. when Mayor Vaughn pre-
ferred charges against Patrolman Frank
A. Wermess for ordering citizens to move
on'N along the public streets. The latter
was acquitted by the board after a trial
and was commended by them as having
faithfully performed his duty. Feeling
against the police board for enforcing the
ordinance to the letter did not subside.
however, and the climax was reached last
night when the measure was repealed.
on the floor of the Council ii was stated
that the ordinance was originally enacted
at the solicitation of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company TO protect them against
trampS and loiterers on and about their
premises, and that in its Interpretation the
board enormously included every person
who was found standing on the street, re-
CARELESS of intentions. 1t was proposed by
some OF the members of the Council that
the matter be reported TO Governor Durbin
and that the resignation of the board be
asked for, but the repeal of the ordinance
probably Will forestall any such action.

HUBBARD POSSIBLY SAFE.
Assistant Editor of Outing May Not
He Lost I'm Canadian WiIds.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-Leonidas Hubbard
jr., whom traders returning to st. Johns,
". F., from Labrador. report as lost in
the Labrador wilderness, is the assistant
editor of Outing. He left New York last
July to explore the heart of Labrador.
About ten weeks ago he started from Rigo-
lette, on the east coast of Labrador, with
Cree Indian guide and one white COM
panion. They were to travel by canoe and
on foot through an entirely unknown coun-
try to the George river, along which the
last tribe of primitive North American
Indians gather at this time of the year TO
kill caribou. This point is 200 miles beyond
the last Hudson Bay Companys post. No
white man has ever penetrated as far as
Mr.. Hubbard intended to go.
Regarding Mr.. Hubbard's disappearance,
Caspar Whitney, editor of Outing, said: "I
think there is more sensation than fact in
the report of Mr.. Hubbard being lost. My
experience has been with this class of trad
ers that they are always prone to start
sensational stories Of any one who plunges
into the country beyond any point where
the trappers happen to have been and who
fails TO come out on a railroad schedule
time. L have every confidence that Mr..
Hubbard will come out safely and very
Soon."
Mr.. Hubbard is thirty years old and a
graduate of the University of Michigan.
His residence is in Congers, n. Y.

Mr.. Hollis had rendered eminent service to
the country in many ways. He had worked
with tireless energy and with singleness Of
purpose for most of the reforms upon the
necessity of which our best leaders Of pub

his services is that he rendered in connec-
of arbitration at The Hague i feel that his
death was grievous loss not only to us,
his friends, but TO our people as whole,
and were l able to leave Washington at
this time / should certainly be with you.'
Andrew D. White. formerly president of

glowing tribute to the character of Mr..
Hollis as a public man. in his business rela-
tons and in the domestic circle, and pro-
nounced him an ideal citizen.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
Address by DIR. GLADDEN. mt the Mis-
siOnary Association.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 22.-The closing
meeting of the American Missionary Asso-
citation was held tonight. DIR. Washington
GLADDEN., of Columbus. made an address on
the negro problem in which he said that
the solution of the question was further
away to-day than it was at the close of the
civil war that the task of helping the negro
TO manhood is increasing in complexity and
that the people of the South deserve great
credit for what they have done for the ne
gro. The American Missionary Association
has funds amounting 10 more than mill
lion dollars. he said, the income of which
IL IS required TO spend in the Southern field
for negro education. Other societies have
similar trusts. They cannot be transferred
they must be conscientiously administered
TO sustain missionary work To suspend
missionary work in the South would check
the forward movement OF what is proving
to be very helpful in its results. The negro
i'm the greater part of the South, was de-
clared TO be DISTINGUISHED, and he is no
longer n free and responsible citizen; he Is
a subject. must pay taxes and has little or
no share in determining how these taxes
shall be expended
In conclusion DR.. GLADDEN. said: 1.-THE
American Missionary Association was born
to bear witness TO the truth that black men
are men, that they have not only hands
but souls, and for them there must not only
be bread but kingdom-hope, outlook and
opportunity, clear path TO the heights of
manhood

ANNEXATION SUGGESTED.


VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 22.-Local feel
ing is very bitter over the award OF the
Alaskan boundary commission. There is
much talk of annexation and of Canada
becoming independent. business men being
generally much dissatisfied, at what they
pronounce British disregard OF Canadian
interests to please the United States. It Is
a matter of comment that the loudest
siding here Many OF these say that Cam
bilities until she becomes part of the United
States.
The Rev. Elliot s. Rowe. the leading
Methodist minister OF British Columbia,
who. with Chief Justice Hunter, constituted
the labor commission, which sat this sum-
mer, in an interview here said: 81 am q
Britisher and i have always been a Brit
Usher, but IL Great Britain is to hand
Canada over piecemeal TO the United States
j say let us join the American republic
also. By doing so now we are large enough,
populous enough and important enough to
have something to say regarding the terms
OF such annexation, and also would be
potent enough to have something to say
I'm the affairs OF the republic of which we
would form part. But il we wait until
our best and richest territory is given away
we shall simply be absorbed. 1t looks to
me as If Canada. had won the case and
lost the territory

that the Alaskan award may lead to the

Prominent Men Advocating Annexa-
ton tn the United States as "a

OTTAWA. Ont, Oct. 2e.-In the Senate
to-day Sir Mackenzie Bowel. leader of the
opposition. asked for information concern
ing the Alaska boundary award. Mr.. Scott,
for the government. replied that the most
important reason why the Canadian COM
missioners did not approve of the award
was that II was not a judicial document
decision. Lord Alverstone had in the first
instance agreed that the center of the Port
land canal should form the boundary lines.
The four islands should have gone to either
the one country or the other depending upon
the position OF the line through the Port
land channel, consequently Lord Aver
stone DETECTED the line so as to throw two
OF the islands into the United States and
two into Canada, that is, Wales and Pearse
islands went to Canada and the two smaller
to the United States.
Sir Mackenzie Bowel said il was unfor-
funate that In every case when negotiations
Lave taken place between the United States
and England where Canada was affected,
the United States diplomats had succeeded
in securing islands which command most
important points of the Dominion There
was the island right opposite the harbor
OF Port Arthur. In case of difficulty, he
said, that island would have to be Sc
cured Dy the BrlllSn people, IOr IL fortified
II would command the entrance to that har-
Dor. Unless that was done the United
States would secure it and with the guns
they have at present would be able to de-
stroy the whole connection between the
East and West. 1t was the same with the
island OF San Juan, another secured by
treaty negotiation. NOW" said Mr.. Mac
kenzie, 1.-The United States will command
Fort Simpson. In every case Canadian
interests are sacrificed"
Senator McMullen said that the decision
would create as much dissatisfaction in
Canada as there was In the Transvaal and
in Ireland.
The Alaska boundary correspondence was
laid before the House to-day. It consists
OF messages between the Colonial Office
Washington, and Ottawa. The correspond
ence shows that Canada agreed to submit
the question TO jurists Of repute, and pro-
tested strongly when Messrs. Root, Lodge
and Turner were appointed by the United
States. The Colonial Office expressed it's
regrets and then urged the acceptance of
these gentlemen rather than the break
ing off of negotiations. Mr.. Chamberlain
asked Canada's consent TO this, but appar-
emily without waiting for that consent to
be given, Sir Michael Herbert for England
and Mr.. Hay for the United States, signed
the treaty. There was nothing for Canada
