DENoUNCEs CHICAGo,S RICH.
Pastor of Wealthy Church Says They
 Are Living Like Pegans.

Chicago. Jan. 31.-Rev. pr. James S. Stone, rector of St. James Episcopal church, the membership of which is largely made up of wealthy persons, caused comment when. in the course of a sermon to-day he denounced the rich of Chicago. He said in part:
 That there are multitudes in this city who neither fear God nor regard man." said Dr. Stone, lis largely due to two causes: one the ignorance and weakness of many congregations and the other, the irreligion of our influen- tial and well-to-do people. There are many exceptions, noble and praisewor- thy, for which we thank God and take courage. But for the greater part of the people of financial and social influ- ences in Chicago-the people who could, if they wolud do so much for ahe sal- vation of the city, the people that are going to suffer the most in that terrible conflict between the classes that is threatening this country, the nearness of which seems apparent, the center of which will be this very city, the end of which no mna knows-these people who should be the first in Christian ex- ample and in every good work, are liv- ing the lives of pagansi nice pagans if you will, but as surely pagans."

 Mny be closed.

BTny be Closed.
 Boston, Jan. 31.-Uniess contingency unexpected by either party to the con- troversy arises fifty-six book and job
 printing establishments, fifty of which are in this city, two in Norwood, and one each at Lynn, Cambridge. Brook line and Randolph, will be without job printers and compositors after formal presentation of the rejected schedule to individual employers, tomorrow. The strike will involve 800 book and job workers. members of Boston Typo
 graphical union 13, whose demands em- bodied in a new wage schedule, were presented as an ultimatum to the Bos- ton Typothetae yesterday and promptly rejected by the employers.
 Briefly the demands of the printers provide for an increase over the exist ing rates of five cents per thousand ems, ($1.50 week for hand compositors and $3 week for machine operators.) At a special meeting of Boston Ty- geographical union 13 to-day it was voted to give the members of the Bos- ton Typtohetae one more opportunity to avert a strike. It was arranged that ithe conpositors should report at their Irrespective places of employment as
 usual tomorrow morning. A commit tee of the union will soon after call up- on the individual employers, formally present the new schedule, and ask that lit be signed. As fast as. signatures are
 refused the men will be ordered to im- mediately quit work. There is no reason to believe that the employers will re-
 consider their action to accede to the demands of the men.

MRS MATBEIoK NOT RELEASED.
Taken from Ayiesbury Prison to Pri-
 vats Instttutton.

London, Jan. 31.-In spite of the rnys- tery with which officials shroud the ac- lion in connection with the reported re- lease of Mrs. Florence Maybrick. who is serving life sentence for poisoning her husband, it can be definitely said that she has been removed from AyIesbury prison. At the United States embassy it was most emphatically declared that she had not been pardoned and that she was still prisoner. Where she has been taken remains a mystery. but re- ports from Aylesbury are to the effect that she has been removed to some pri- vate institution at Cornwall. The home office and the governor of Aylesbury prison refuse to make any kind of statement on the subject
 If the ordinary course of events had been followed Mrs. Maybrick would have been taken to Holloway, if her i'm mediate release were contemplated, but she is not there and has probably been removed to some other prison of less rigorous discipline, where she can re- cuperate prior to her release, or possi- bly, she has been conveyed to one of the government homes of detention or to an H asylum.
 The details given in this mornings Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper regarding the visit of Mrs. Maybrick's mother. Baroness deRoques, to Aylesbury prison January 25, appear to be correct. She afterwards described Mrs. Maybrick as very busy with her work, in much bet ter spirits and looking forward to her release
 London. Feb. 1.-The Daily Mail this morning says that Mrs. Maybrick is now in Liverpool and that the following conditions attach to her release from prison: That she will not appear on the public stage or write a book of her ex- periences, and shall in no way endeavor to attract public attention to herself
 The newspapers this morning that announce Mrs. Maybricks removal From Aylesbury prison express the be- lief that she will be released within two or three months.
 Washington, Jan. 31.--Regarding the case of Mrs. Maybrick, interest in which has been revived by reports that she had been released from prison in Eng land. state department officials say there has been no recent communication between them and the English govern ment in the matter. The last ilforma- tion the department had regarding the case, and this is now some months old, was that Mrs. Maybrick probably would be released late in the coming summer.

YORK OF CONGRESS.
Senate to copsinuo Discussion of PAna-
 ma Question.

Washington, Jan. S1.-The senate this week will continue to discuss the Pan- ana question. Speeches will be made
 Monday or Tuesday by Senator Fair
 banks, republican, and Senators Clarke ! (Arkansas) and Clay. democrats, all in
 support of the treaty. There also will be other speeches, but a temporary ces- sation may be expected later in the week, as there is disposition on the part of many democratic senators to postpone further discussion of the ques- ton until responses to the resolutions of inquiry shall be received from the executive The democrats, however,
 have given assurance to the republican 1 leaders that they will not seek delay
 merely for the purpose of postponing a
 vote on the treaty, which they will per
 init as soon as legitimate debate shall | be exhausted.
 1 The present plan is to continue the discussion in open session. but if it be- comes apparent that more can be &C., compIished by closing the doors execu- tive sessions will be ordered. It is now certain that the solid vote Of the repub- | lican side of the chamber in favor of the treaty will be augmented by many I democratic votes. The suggestion was made in the democratic caucus Satur-
 day that the entire democratic vote should be pledged in case assurance is given of concession to Colombia, but it
 was not acted on.
 The urgent deficiency appropriation Ibill will be reported during the week
 and will receive attention of the Pana-
 ma question shall be side-tracked to
 meet the request of the democrats for
 delay to digest the new information they hope to receive. The canal ques- ttion will be kept to the front as much
 as possible even to the exclusion of ap-
 propriation bills.
 The House this week will pass the
 diplomatic and consular appropriation
 bill which was reported from the com-
 mittee on foreign affairs last week. It I will be called up at the first favorable opportunity. District of Columbia bus liness is the special order for to-mor-
 row, private claims bills for Tuesday,
 and pension legislation for Friday l Consideration of the diplomatic bill Twill afford opportunity for a further wide range of discussion of such topics
 as members may desire to introduce. l The bill providing for the ratification lof treaty with the Sioux tribe of Indians on the Rosebud reservation, which reached the point of third read- ling Saturday is pending, and it's con-
 sideration is a special continuing order Iso long as it does not interfere with appropriation bills or private calendar business.
 A number of bills of minor importance
 have found their way to rfe House cal- |endar, some of which may be passed
 during the week, but such as threaten Ito precipitate extended debate must wait until more important legislation is out of the way.

H., in 1903, to-day walk led into police headquarters and gave himself up, admitting that he stabbed Mrs. James T. Seville to death yester- day.

Four Million Dollar Four-Tr.cIs rrssiIo and v.aduct opensd-one Half of Park cify's Population Turns Out and Cheers the Boston Express as It Goes Over Connecting Bsrkshire Tracks.


 Tracks.
 Bridgeport, Jan s1.-one half the population of Bridgeport turned out to- day to witness the opening of the new railroad elevation in this city. After four years of work, with an expenditure of s4.oOooOo. the grade crossings of Bridgeport are a thing of the past, and the new four track trestle and viadust were used for the first time when an un- usually heavy freight train went over the structure to test it's strength before a passenger train attempted to cross. Everything was in good shape, and at 11:25, the eastbound Boston express went steaming through, cheered by the thousands of Bridgeport citizens who had assembled on the platform of the proposed new station and along the via duct.
 Throughout the day a large gang of men was at work connecting the ele- vated structure of the Berkshire divi- sion to the main line. The work. it is SAptCtcus VIII b0 SOti4ASlS0 " iliu- night
 From now on all trains will run over the new structure.
 Although s4,o00.o0o has been expended thus far, it is believed that $2,000,0oO mere will be expended before the i'm provements in this city are completed, which the railroad officials say will take at least a year. A handsome new pass enger station, an electric power station, and new building for the Adams Ex- press company will be built.
 The new roller lift bridge was oper- ated to-day and the old bridge was opened in the stream, thereby doing away with passage way which has been great convenience to East Bridgeport. An effort had been made to have the old bridge remain in it's po- sition to be used as a footbridge, but the secretary Of war has ruled that one bridge is sufficient.
