Gives Up Country.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Peter Kohl
haas, Youngstown, N. Y, with his
''bunky," Joseph G. Cleveland, of the
same town. arrived here in the steer
age of the Pretoria on Oct. 81. They
had served together in the army
Kohlhaas, VINO was born in Hamburg,
is now 60 years old. In 1866 he en-
listed in the United States army and
was i,onorably discharged on Dec. l,
1867, for disability
Two or three months ago the two
men went to Hamburg to visit. When
hey got back Cleveland, being a citl-
zen. was allowed to go. Kohlaas was
tai.en to Ellis Island.
He has $3.50, but only his first pa
rels, declaring his intention of becom-
ing an American citizen. In all the
Years ne has lived in this country he
hal neele cted to take out his second
papers, but he has voted twice on mis-
declaration papers.
Th.. surgeons on Ellis island noticed
that Kohlhaas was afflicted with a
disease of long standing. He was ord
cred deported and will be sent home
to Hamburg.
Cleveland has come from YOungs-
town to see his comrade.

INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT IS BE.

Senate Committee On Interstate Com
noon in Washington City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 15.-
With the approach of the time for the
reconvening of congress the interest
in the problem of railroad rate legisla
ton is increasing. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that the matter will come up
shortly after the opening of the ses-
sion of congress and that something
will be done soon. The Esch- Townsend
bill, which has passed the house and
is now in the hands of the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce is not
satisfactory in many respects and
will probably have a hard time in the
senate. even if the committee should
report in favor of the bill, which is
not considered likely.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce, of which Senator Elklns
is chairman has been called for a
meeting this afternoon and nearly all
the members of the committee are
here, ready to attend the meeting. Sen
ator Foraker Of Ohio, who is one OF
the most prominent members Of the
committee and strongly opposed to the
plan of President Roosevelt, to con-
fer the rate-making power upon the
interstate commerce commission, Is
in town and will undoubtedly take
decided stand in the matter when 1t
comes up before the committee.

PLAN is BEING DISCUSSED BY
REPRESENTATIVES. OF PRO-
TESTANT DENOMINATIONS.
Immense Conference Was Opened IL
New York City Today to Con-
slider the Subject.

important Observation-Disclosures gatner-
ing of representatives of Protestant
churches ever held in this country
convened here this morning at Carne-
gle hall to consider the subject OF
forming a federation Of all the pro-
testant churches of this country. There
are about seven hundred delegates In
attendance, representing twenty-seven
protestant denominations, numbering
| in the aggregate between 13,0O0,00O
and 100000 members Of congrega-
lions.
For a number Of years there has
been a constant and gradual move
ment among the r, ligious bodies of
this country toward cooperation and
federation; the desire is for concerted
action in Christian work with view
to the spiritual welfare of the whole
nation. The movement found express
sion several years ago in the organi-
| cation of the national federation OF
|
did a great deal to bring the vari-
GUS denominations into closer contact
and to establish a better understand
| ing between the various churches. The
present conference is the first, to
which the various denominations rep
resented in it have officially appointed
delegates.
This conference is in no sense an
attempt to bring the various religious
bodies Of the country into organic
union. 1t is the hope of the leaders
that the conference may create a per-
manent organization of the churches,
which will bring the various denomi-
nations into better and closer relations
than ever before existed; an Organiza-
ton that will make it possible to voice
the attitude of the United Christian
churches on great questions, social,
ethical, economic and religious.
Among the speakers who will ad-
dress the conference are the foremost
men in nearly every protestant rel1g-
ious body in the United States. Among
them there are five bishops of the
Episcopal church, six bishops of the
Methodist church; three of the Meth
odist church. South; two Moravian
bishops and one each from the United
Brethren, Reformed Episcopal and At
rican Methodist bodies. There will
also be many prominent laymen, among
them Vice-President Fairbanks, Gov
ernor Higgins, Mayor Mcclellan, JUS
tees Harlan and Brewer of the United
States supreme court, Secretary OF
State Root, Senator Beverage of In
diana; Judge Grosscup of Chicago,
Judge Gray of the United States cir
cult court; John Wanamaker and
others of equal prominence. The col
leges and universities will be repre-
scented among the speakers will be
Presidents King of Oberlin, Tucker
of Dartmouth, Faunce of Brown
Hall of Union seminary and Profess
sor Van Dyke of Princeton.
Among the subjects which will come
up for consideration and discussion
will be the relation of a united church
to evangelism; to the social order; to
home and foreign missions; to relig-
ious education; to the fellowship OF
faith; the essential unity of Christian
ity; the relation of the church to the
national life; the kingdom of God, and
the transcendent aim of the United
| church.

CHAPTER XII.

The sun was nearly two hours high
when Lafitte awoke from slumber, and
prepared to make himself ready for
the responsible and arduous duties ly-
ing before him.
In view of Laro's dying request. he
had considered carefully the arrange
ments for Lazalie's immediate future,
and this he unfolded to Ma am Brigida.
Lazalie's old rurse and companion,
after sending Ezrah TO superintend
the gathering OF such stores as were
TO be taken TO the shore, preparatory
TO putting them aboard the BLACK Pc

GOT PURSE FROM THE BAR.
Winner Of Race Had Close Call i
COLLECTING Money!

Mars Cassidy. the starter. is fond
of telling the story OF an incident
which occurred when he was racing a
string of hofses on the unrecognized
tracks OF the outlaw circuit
II was the last day OF a meeting in
a town not far from Jersey City and 1t
was up to Cassidy to win a purse or
walk TO the next racing town. He had
fair skate in the last event of the
day and had engaged a daredevil
jockey who he knew would take all
kinds OF chances Just about a hun
dred yards from the finish on this
roller coaster track. there was a pitch
mole, such as often is seen on a coun-
try road In winter.
There had been so many falls at this
spot. that the jockeys always eased up
when approaching II. Cassidy com
manded his rider to make his most
desperate move right at this point
and. sure enough. when the otherr
took a wrap before reaching the gully
Cassidy's boy dug the spurs into his
mount and won the race
The owner. with a great load on his
mind. went into the secretary's once
to collect the purse.
"Pll have to send out for the money,
said the secretary. IL have paid out
everything on hand"
Cassidy's jaw dropped with q click,
but he managed to say:
Send out for 1t. Send where?~

tary. suavely.
And. sure enough" says Cassidy, in
relating the story. 1T was from the

icy torrent rushing into tropical
keam. Il will be your friend; and
ku must believe that you have my
fmpathy, and my wish to be OF all

She showed no recognition OF his
Bier. but remained silent, with droop
Ing head and heaving breast.
Forget what you have said. as

ed, still calmly. but with kindliness
Let us work together. for there is

said finally. in answering to a ques-
tioning look in the face she now raised

She made no reply, but turned and
left the room.

Laftte caught Lopez's eye: and.
obeying the command he saw in the
formers look. the gunner made no re-
ply.
Lazalie appeared to have forgotten
her question. for she remained silent.
and in a few minutes went to her own
apartments. followed by Ma'am Brigi-
da.
The meal was soon finished: and
then the men gathered from the table

The chests were soon emptied. and

Early in the afternoon the entire
crew came ashore with the body of

In the midst of 1t they we're startled
by the sudden appearance In their

II was that OF the gunner Lopez. who.
still wet from the sea. and his gar
ments torn by the thickets through
which he had pushed his way. dropped
silently into a chair. seemingly too
worn out for speech. His face was
white and a bandage enveloped his
head.
II was as LATTE had supposed and
contemplated. Ehewah. by help of the
charts he had stolen. had gained the
enemys favor: and the latter. in con
sequence of the information furnished
by the Indian. had lost no time in re-
pairing damages. and setting sail in
pursuit of the brigsntine.
There was general rejoicing over
Iopez's escape. But this feeling was.
In a measure. tempered by anger at
Ehewah's treachery. and hard indeed
would have been the Indians fate
could any of those sinewy hands have
grasped his brown throat.
When the gunner's story WIS ended.
a half-suppressed roar had surged
through the room. TO be hushed by the
uplifted hand and reproving frown Of
Iafitte. for Lazalie had not yet left
the table, but sat. with Ma'am Brigida
beside her. at the fsrthest end. Her
red lips were parted slightly. and an
angry light glowed in her black eyes.
