TEUToNs ARE CONSERVATIVE.
Correct and Calm is Their Attitude or
Panama Question

BERLIN. November 1.-THE alleged in
reference with German steamers by the
United States naval authorities at Colon
has no basis in fact so far as the foreign
office here is concerned.
The officials have not received any in
formation on the subject from either the
ship captains, the steamship owners. or the
German representatives abroad, and the
foreign Office regards the Neuste Mach
richten's article, comparing the affair with
the British seizures. of vessels during the
Transvaal war, as foolish and prema ture'
adding that II Is not disposed to "antici-
pate developments"
The stand taken by the Neuste Nachrich-
ten is wholly unsupported by the rest of
the German press, which has not noticed
the affair. merely printing inconspicuously
the dispatches received on the subject.

part of the press and the government here

Senator Money of Mississippi made a rec
ord yesterday in the introduction of more
bills at one time than has ever been put in
the Senate before. Some years ago when

bills by introducing 233 measures. all but
twenty-five of which were claims against
the government. and the twenty-five were
pension bills. It Is roughly estimated that

DR. CURRY MAKES
 FINE IMPRESSION
LARGE CONGREGATION eREETs HIM ON THE OCCASION OF HIS FIRST SERMON AS PASTOR OF MEMPHIS CHURCH.

The Memphis Morning News, in speak ing of the first sermon of the Rev. pr. Curry in his new field. says
 "The Rev. A. B. Curry D. D.. the new pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, began his ministerial work in Memphis yesterday morning A large audience greeted him. He made a most excellent impression and none but complimentary expressions were heard of him.
 'IIe chose for his text John xii 32; And I, if be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me- The speaker held up Christ as the hope of the world as a conquerer of sin and of it's attendant evils and said that men must be drawn to the right, not driven. He spoke plain iy and practically, and said that the church should adopt christ's method of drawing men to 1t. Love Is the greatest magnet and through that mankind must be drawn to God. The use of worldly schemes to attract men to the church was condemned. To have the church attrac- tive is not wrong, but is of secondary im- portance.
 The preaching of Christ and Him crucified is the hope of the human race and should be the offering for men to come Into the church. Next to the preach ing of the gospel in importance comes good music but not of the operatic kind. He loves the melody of the old songs"
 The News gives a full synopsis of the sermon.
 Dr. Curry was pastor of the First Pres- byterian church until very recently. He preached his farewell sermon at the church here on Sunday, January IS.
