Senator TilIman's Proposed Lecture.


Chicago, Nov. 27.-"You bet I'm
going to speak in Chicago. That is, II
the niggers don't butcher me-"
Senator Ben Tillman before starting
from Plaltsyillo for Chicago today is re-
ported to have made this characteristic
''pilchiork" promise in reference to his
lecture for the benefit of the Chicago
Union Hospital, at Orchestra Hall, &c
night. He further indicated that there
was no likelihood OF his converting the
symbolic Hay weapon into pitchfork
for race harmony. "This talk of violence
to me is all b0sh. Those blacks are
afraid to touch me. | know them too
well 10 be scared by their threats. ="
Nevertheless, preparations to guard the
Senator carefully from the moment he
strives in Chicago, during his appearance
on the platform and until he leaves The
city are made. II is rumored at police
headquarters today that six c0lOred de-
Iecliyes will be sent TO Orchestra Hall to
mingle with the colored people who
might,altend the meeting.
Chicago, Nov. 27.-Fearing that the
visit of Senator Tillman, who is to lecture
tonight in Orchestra Hall for the bene-
fit of the Chicago Union Hospital, may
be attended by disturbance and possible
rioting, caused the promoters Of the event
to seek the cooperation OF the police 10
protection the southern Senator during
his stay in Chicago,and at the lecture.

RIshon Potter Renlies

New Yc.k, Nov. Bishop Potter
aroused by the charge Of Edward NJ
Shepard, that he lives in "sybaritic
elegance snd dwells among the mil
lionaire money sristocrats Of New York,
today said:
"Mr. Shepard's remarks form grs-
tuitous impertinent inference without
any foundation in fact" Mr. Shepard
was counsel for the Rev. DR.. Crspsey,
convicted of heresy, and his attack on
Bishop Potter was based upon the al
legation that the bishop in yelled
manner made reference to DIR. Crapsey
in such way IS to influence the case.
He said that the bishop intimated that
DR. Crapsey's motive was Ga morbid
desire to hold on to the money revenues
of his place" This Shepard brands as g
"ialse and indecent imputstiOp." He
then attacked Bishop Potter and re-
ferred to his luxurious manner of living,
and said Bishop Potter was Indifferent
to preaching 10 his own diocese and was
far more heretical than DR.. Crapsey.
When Bishop Potter was asked if he
did not think Mr. Shepnrd's attack de-
manded some further reply, he turned 10
his "second man." ard said:
Il would ask this man to show Mr.
Shepard the door should he call here "
The bishop said he would make no
statement in regard to Mr. Shepard's re
marks, adding
81 can conduct the affairs OF my do
cess without the assistance Of Mr.. Shep-
ard or the newspapers"
Among cburehmea here it is freely
predicted that ss a result OF the Crapsey
verdict, q movement tor greater "re-
ligious freedom" will be inaugurated
next year, with DR.. Crspsey at its head i.
Many prominent church people are sup.
porters Of DR.. Crapsey, snd some OF
them would like to see church estab-
lished where he could expound his lib
eral doctrines. 1t is hardly expected a
church can be founded by Orapsey fol.
lowers within a year, but sthe uDfrocked
rector is expected to devote himself to a
literary campaign which will pave the
way for erecting church later.

The Rev. leighton Williams said that he under

STATE INSURANCE PLAN.
Russia May DnUe PrfUate Com
NAMES Ont of Business.

st. Petersburg Feb. 5.-The establishment of
a life insurance business in competition with
private companies is under the consideration of
the government, and a scheme has been worked
out by a commission and is now before the
Council Of the Empire. 1t is proposed that the
insurance shall be effected through the State
savings banks. the employees of which will get
commissions business Policies will be linn
tied 10 s2,5OO and through the cheapness of OPP
Grafton and the facilities afforded by the saw
ings bank system, it is expected that State in
will drive private companies entirely
from the field of small insurance. While the aim
is TO furnish cheap insurance, provision is made
for division Of the profits with the policyhold-
ers The advantage to the government Is not
lost sight Of. II Is pointed out that by this plan
there will be a large reserve placed in the hands
Of the government which may be invested in
government bonds. The scheme will be operated
in connection with the contemplated project of
State insurance for workmen.

LIBERALS AWAIT UN1oNIsT MOVE.

Mr.. Balfour's Unopposed Election.

London, Feb. 5.--The Liberals still hesitate to
decide the question Of opposing A. J. Balfour's
candidacy for the City OF London the constituency
which Alban G. H. Gibbs Conservative. resigned
in the former Premier's favor. The executive COM
mttee of the Liberal Association held third meet
ing on the subject this morning. but adjourned
without reaching a decision. The matter will be
further considered February u, the eve of the
opening OF Parliament. Should Mr.. Balfour definite
ly split with Joseph Chamberlain the fiscal
question and declare himself outspokenly against
protection the Liberals probably will not oppose
his return TO Parliament.
Walter Hume Long. the former Chief Secretary
for Ireland, has lost time IN repudIating any
connection with the proposals TO raise him TO the
leadership of the Unionist party. He says:

possible The statements made the subject
both untrue and offensive. l a loyal follower OF
the leader of the Unionist party, Mr.. Balfour
