900 400 before the HOLIDAYS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-With but less
than a million dollars to last until the mid
die Of the year, and with creditors clamor-
ing for their money, the Isthmian Canal
Commission is in an embarrassing pre-
dicament financially and is nervousIy
anxious that Congress appropriate the
$l6 600 900 early in the session. The attf-
tude of Congress toward the matter is a
question. and there is no doubt great
chance that the Isthmian Canal Commis-
sion will get something Of rub when the
estimate for an immediate appropriation
is presented.
1t is believed that many members of
Congress will show their tempers when they
come to know that there are many unpaid
debts and that IL will take Sl6 900 900 to
carry the commission through to June
30 OF 1905, the end of the current fiscal year

Not Unity, but Division.

We print to-day several letters on the
Federation Of Churches which has been
holding conferences in New York. The
most significant is that expressive of
the attitude of the Roman Catholic
Church toward the movement. It comes
from a distinguished ecclesiastc of that
Church, and brings to view one great
obstacle to the proposed federation.
After much discussion the conference
on Monday evening made belief in JESUS
CHRIST our Divine Lord and Saviour"
a prime requisite of admission to the
federation, That is, it excluded all
except evangelical" Christians, as they
are classified But what is your belief
in CHRISTI" asks this Roman Catholic
ecclesiastc, The question indicates the
reason why that Church takes no part
in the movement, but treats it as a pc
culiarly Protestant enterprise
Another of our correspondents of to-
day, VINO tTTs had1 experience a. a mis-
slonary in Japan, explains that the fed
Grafton is organized only for community
in certain religious and charitable works
and leaves undsturbed the peculiar
tenets of the different denominations
joined in it. Why, then, as a Univer-
salist pastor suggests, is that denomina-
tion and the Unitarians also excluded
from the federation? These NAV dis
agree in points of doctrine with the
evangelical" denominations, but as to
the need of the works of religion and
charity for which the federation is or
ganized there is no disagreement be-
tween them.
1t is true that both the Unitarians and
Universalists as organizations are now
small, and instead of growing with the
growth of the population have rather
fallen back, but their general spirit of
criticism Of the orthodox Protestant
positions has extended greatly and es-
sentially modified the sentiment of a
religious public once bitterly opposed
to them.

NAY ABANDON Quay STATUE.
Gov. PennypRcker May Weld to Protests
and Give Ip His Cherished Plan

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 90 Gov Penny
packer is being showered with letters and
petitions from all over the State urging
him to abandon his project for the erection
of statue Of the late Senator NJ. s. Ouav
in Capitol Park, Some writer's even go so
far as to threaten that if the statue project
is carried out the unveiling ceremonies
will be attended by incidents very humiliat- :
ing to the family and friends of the dead
Senator.
Most of the protests are based on the
assumption that the overwhelming defeat
of the remnant Of the old Quay Republican
organization in the recent State election
was in the nature Of popular reputation
Of the men and methods for which QUAY
stood, and that therefore an attempt to
immoralize him in stone or bronze at this
ttime would be inappropriate.
The act Of the last Legislature in appro-
priating 500 0O0 for a statue of QUAY in
Capitol Park was at the personal request of
Gov. Pennypacker, Now it is believed
that the Governor will reluctantly permit
the appropriation to revert back into the

Of Rochester, in this State has been
charged with heresy in practically deny
ing the Virgin Birth Of JESUS Like
denial is made by many of the promi-
nent clergy OF the Church of England.
II even the ministers at the late New
York conference which voted to make
belief in the divinity of CHRIST an alb
solute prerequisite Of admission to the
federation organized were catechised
and cross-examned on the subject of
their own belief, would not the answers
be likely to indicate an absence Of posi-
tiveness in themselves?
This federation, therefore does not
seem to be destined to produce much
practical result. If it had been simply
an organization for the purpose Of con-
centrating the religious spirit or senti-
ment for the purpose Of community in
good works and instilling moral and
religious principle into the people as
positive influence in their practical con-
duct it might have done better. Then
it might have included many of that
great body of serious minds, in the
churches and outside of them, who be-
heve that the preservation and exalta-
ton of religious ideal of some sort is
essential to the welfare of society.
AS it is. the federation seems rather
and only to have made broader and more
marked the distinction between Protes-
tantism and the Roman Catholic Church
and between the theology of the past
and the new view of the subject which
has come to so great part Of the serious
and thoughtful minds OF the present
