New York, March 23.-Rev. DR.. Park
hurst, commenting on the action Of a
committee Of New England Congrega-
tionalist ministers in petitioning the
board Of foreign missions to refuse a
gift of 100000 made by John D..
Rockefeller, declares that it was hard
to say which was the right side from
which to look upon the incident. DR..
Parkhurst said:
Assuming that the charges made by the
New England minister are correct. then
OF course, l would readily say I approve
but do not know that they are. This
is rather a delicate matter If we know
that man acquired the money offered
for religious, educational, or other purpo-
ses, in manner we do not approve, then
! think we should not accept
But how can we tell? We do not know
how the widow who offered her two mites
acquired the two mites. And, again, the
woman who anointed the hands and feet
How did she get the money to buy the oil
It Is said she was woman of questionable
character. How did Mr.. Rockefeller ge,
his wealth? Or, better, how did he gel
the 100000 he offered? That is the CUES
ton I am not in a position to answer.
But If the American board of the For.
eign Missionary society is convinced ir
its own mind that the charge it makes is
valid, I do not wonder that it hesitates
The American board is in a trying po
dtion-it wants the money.
It Is believed that the clergy Of the
Baptist church, Of which Mr.. Rookie.
fel1er is a member, will support him, as
against the protest Of the Congrega'
Efonal ministers.
The present protest is similar in its
terms to the refusal Of the Methodist
church Of New England to accept d
large sum from Frank Jones, a brewer
This refusal was based upon the claim
that Jones had not made his money in
a. way that could be approved by the
church.

FRENCH REGARD
CRISIS AS PAST
Franco Venezuelan Situation 1
Relieved by Delayed Decision
in Gable Case.

Paris, March 23:--In the course of
Porter's weekly visit to
the foreign office today. he conferred
with Foreign Minister Delcasse, relative
to the Franco-V venezuelan situation, and
it was disclosed that the French govern
ment considered that the emergency Of
the situation had been entirely relieved
ment Of the decision Of the Caracas
court in the case of the French cable
company.
The future course is expected to be
slow, owing to the necessity for carry
ing on, the negotiations by mail.
The authorities here share the belief
concerning the hopelesssness of the
present regime in Venezuela and incline
to the view that sooner or later some
united means may have. to be taken
to secure respect for foreign interests in
Venezuela.

GERMANS ARE BUILDING
A N0N.R0LLING SHIP

Berlin, March 23.-The- Hamburg Ameri-
can line is building new steamer at the
Vulcan works at Stettin, WHICH will be
fitted out with an invention Of Otto Shick,
an engineer of Hamburg, which it is ex-
pected will reduce the rolling Of vessels at
sea to minimum. It consists Of "a mas
sive balance wheel mounted in such a
manner as to counteract the shifting of
the center Of gravity Of the ship. The in
vention hitherto has only been tested in
connection with models, but the Hamburg
American officials are so convinced of it's
utility that they are advancing money and
loaning vessel for trial which will take
place in June or July. Naval engineers
regard the invention as likely to be of the
greatest use to warships in adding to the
stability Of the gun platforms.
