DR. HAYNES PROTEST.
STEERING SERMON ON RoCKE-
 TELLER GIFT YESTERDAY.
Most Despised Man in Nation-Such is
 Preachers Belief Concerning Stand ard Oil sfagnate, Who, He Says, Has
 AIienatcd workingmen from Christi
Ian Church..

Alienated WOrkingmen from Christ
 ian Church..
 Rev. Artemas J. Haynes, pastor of the United church. delivered a stirring ser mon yesterday morning in protest against the stand which the prudential committee of the American board took on the gift of s1OO.OO0 by John D. Rock efeller for foreign missions. Dr. Haynes described the scene when Jesus drove the money changer from the temple, and applied that story and it's underlying teaching to the present agitation over Mfr. Rockefeller's donation. Dr. Haynes said in part: Z
 'Tf Jesus were here in the world to- day the few who have made themselves strong out of the many, those who have broken the laws, and practised extor- tion and bribery, who have robbed the for private gain, who have bought and sold lawmakers and those set to admin ister laws, who have openly defied every state and federal authority, and prostituted those institutions on which free government rests-those men, if Jesus were here in the world, would find great gulf fixed between themselves and the Christ-they would find it ut terly impossible to get into any sort of Q k.,l come penitent, as Zaccheus came, offer ing full restitution. and making pub lie confession of their guilt. If Jesus did not take that stand then he would go back on everything He stood for in Palestine; He would violate and out rage the spirit of his former ministry. He would no longer be the great Prot estant. The plain people who have been robbed would turn from Him to find 8 higher ethie in some other place.
 But what evidence have you that MT. Rockefeller would fall into this class of the few concerning whom you have spoken? may be asked. May you not be doing him great injustice? Did not our Lord say Judge not, and have you, a Christian minister, the right openly to violate that command Let me answer by saying, Yes, our Lord did say Judge not, but He also said, By their fruits ye shall know them.' The fruit of this mans life and work is in 10000 homes to-day, and it is ex- ceedingly bitter to the taste No legal Judgment, men say, has been passed upon him, therefore you should wait. By the same process of reasoning should not the board wait, seeing he is now under formidable indict-
 ment? But what are we to wait for? What are juries and judges and courts and legislatures to this man? They are but the playthings of an idle hour. More than a dozen state legislatures and the federal government itself are to-day Investigating charges against the company of which he is the head. l What will it all amount to? Nothing, | until the people speak. The courts can Continued on Second Page.)

 Not be Encouraged.

Not be Encouraged.
 Chicago, April 1s.-Words of warning of the dangers apt to follow marriages of Jews with non-Jews were spoken to- day by Dr. Emil G. Hirsch in his ser- mon in Sinai Temple.
 q have shown my sanction of such marriages by performing the ceremony myself and such marriages are sancti- fed, but they should not be encouraged actively" he said.
 ''So say, even if all other considera- tions are forgotten, and for the sake of the world if not for the Jewish faith, the hand of warning should be raised against the mistaking of the flash of passion or infatuation for the love which should be guided by wisdom. The Jews should guard jealously against the marriage of Jew and non-Jew, ex- cept in the rare case where true aff1n- ity based upon an agreement in the fun- damental things of life has been found and tested

 unconfirmed Report of Small Engage-
 ment-st. Petersburg still of Opinion
 That Rojestvensky Has Taken Togo
 by Surprise by Appearing in China
 sea-Russians Driven Back.
 Singapore, April 1s-The North Ger man Lloyd steamship Prinz Heinrich reports that she sighted eighteen ves- sels of the Russian Baltic squadron in Kamranh Bay at noon on Friday last. The steamer did not sight any Japanese warships. The seven Dutch cruisers now at Rhio' will return to Batavia on Monday.
 Kamranh Bay is in Cochin China, about two hundred miles northeast of Saigon.
 St. Petersburg, April 17-12:45 a. m.- There is no information from Vice-Ad- lniral Rojestvensky's squadron, but the admiralty would not be surprised to learn of skirmishing between scoutships to-day or tomorrow, and the inaugura- tion of torpedo boat warfare soon is not unexpected. The naval organs here ex- press the opinion that Togo was taken completely by surprise when Rojest- vensky suddenly appeared at the en- trance of the China Sea and is now con- centrating his widely scattered fleet near the Pescadores, where it is believ- ed a sea fight will probably occur.
 London, April 17-There is as yet no news of a naval battle in the Far East or of the whereabouts of the rival fleets. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail sends a rumor of a small engagement, but there is no con- firmation of this report Details re- garding the Russian ships in Kamranh Bay, Cochin China, are too meagre to be instructive.
 According to the Daily Mails Singa- pore correspondent, the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich saw five battleships and six cruisers in the bay, but the dispatches to the other London morning newspapers are not so precise. The Daily Telegraph's Singapore corre- spondent, like the Associated Press, merely reports eighteen vessels, and adds that the captain of the Prinz Heinrich states that possibly more war ships were inside the harbor, but they they were invisible from the offing.
 The presence of the Russian squadron off the Annam coast is raising keen in- terest here, in view of the possibility of their Infringing Chinese neutrality, and the likelihood of Rojestvensky having had to split his squadron. The Morning Posts correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that China has in- structed the governors of the southern provinces to maintain strict neutrality, E in view of the possibility of Russian ships sheltering there.
