BISHOP WAS WRONGLY QUOTE
Williams Of Michigan correets Repor
Regarding Sermon on Bible.

Detroit. Mich.-Bishop Charles D.
Williams, Of the Episcopal diocese Of
Michigan, Tuesday declared that he
had been incorrectly quoted in the
published report of his sermon Sunday
to the Y. M. c. A. members In which
1t was staed he said that the Bible
as the word of God ia the most pro.
life source of unbelief the church has
to contend with.
II am neither ultra-conservstive, nor
yet Robert Ingersoll, and wish to
emphatically deny the report" de.
clared Bishop Williams. Il did say
that a certain view of the Bible is
a most prolific source Of unbelief. To
say that the Bible is the most prolific
source of unbelief would be the rank.
est kind Of a Robert Ingersoll. The
Bible must be read thoughtfully and
meditatively, and q man with q con.
science will find the word Of God In
it."

Production Of Silver.

The production Of silver In the
Omitted States has not varied rad.
ically since 1899. and We arrive at our
Judgment of . radical variation by
comparison with the change In the
output Of gold. which has indeed been
radical, says the Black Hills Mining
Review. There was q difference OF
$4,000. 900 ounces. approximately 2s
per cent, between the low production
Of 1894 and the high Of 1892. while
there has been no new extreme with.
In IL years. The annual output OF
gold has considerably moro than
doubled within that time. The vari.
alton in the worlds silver production
during the Is year period has been
less than that Of the United States,
he high extreme Of 1898 exceeding
the low Of 1891 by about 26 per cent
The worlds annual production Of gold
has, on the other hand, been going
steadily forward, except for the inter.
ruption by tho Boer war, practically
trebling since 1891. The United
States has bought no silver In IL
years. The last purchases were un.
der the act of 1890, by which in ex'
cess of 16s. 100000 ounces were ao
CURED. During tho 20 years follow.
Ing 1873 the government purchased
almost 500. 100000 ounces, or 1T the
svorage rate Of about 7s.o0o,0V
ounces per year.

enormous. The great majority of

IT'S SENTIMENT
| FOR ANNEXATION
The Desire Is Now Voiced
Openly in City Of
Havana
MEETING CALLED FOR SUNDAY
viii Discuss Piebiscite on Form Of
Government - Considerable Delay
10 Reported but no Opposition to
Disarmament.

Havana, Oct. 5.-Now that the dis
armament of the revolutionists and
the revolutionists and the govern.
ment volunteers is progressing stead.
lily the thoughtful portions Of the pub
lie of all nationalities are animatedly
discussing tho possibilities Of Cubas
future form Of government. The de-
sire for annexation. which has been
carefully concealed for the past four
years, Is now voiced openly, and the
wish that the United States retain
some measure of actual control In
Cuban affairs Is heard more insistent'
~ than ever.
Representatives of leading ele'
ments, both Cuban and foreign, have
been asked to attend q meeting next
Sunday to discuss the feasibility OF
holding some sort Of plebiscite by
which all classes of the population
would be enabled to express their
ideas on what the future form OF
government should be. One plan sug'
gested Is the formation into groups
Of the various foreign elements each
Of which will formulate its own pro-
ject of government. ....-
The idea of holding the next cleo
lions in January has been entirely
abandoned, the general preference
among Cubans appearing to favor the
holding of elections In June. The
question of the status of congress
and whether senators and representa-
tives are to receive their salaries
after the establishment Of the provis
ional government would be decided
In Washington.
Reports of the disarmament opera
lions show considerable delay and
confusion, but no real opposition. On
the whole, the work Is proceeding
smoothly, and the only complication
encountered was met and disposed of
yesterday by Brigadier General Fred.
erick Funston, assisted by General
A. G. Remone of the disarmament
commission. It appears that General
Asbert's agreement to disarm and dis
band was conditional on the surrend
er and disarmament also of all the
policemen In the town of Guines
Generals Funston and Agremonte
went in an automobile to Guines to
straighten out the matter.
Upon their arrival the mayor of
Guines, Senior Ayala, absolutely re-
fused to discharge the police. Gen.
eral Funston declared that unless the
mayor agreed to the conditions, an
armed force would be sent to dis.
arm Asbert's army, which numbers
1,100 men, and that this would pos.
sibly result in bloodshed. Argument
had no effect upon the mayor until he
was told that he could retain the po-
lict payroll and reinstate his men
after quiet has been restored.
