HAS CONFIDENCE IN SON.
Father Of Dowie Says Alexander Will
Win His Fight.

Essexi Iowa, April 11.-That John
Alexander Dowie will again rule Zion
is the confident belief of "Elijah's"
aged father, who lives comfortably in
his snug home here, at the ripe age
of so.
Repudiated publicly by his famous
son, about a year ago, old Judge Dowie
has forgiven him, and is still deeply in
terested in his welfare. He is proud
Of his son in spite of his faults. He
believes in him.
.Why did he deny me?" repeated
the old man, when questioned by the
interviewer yesterday. who can
say? There is but one explanation.
John Alexander has overworked him
self, and his mind is unbalanced. But
he will resume his sway once more.
Let them walt until John Alexander
gets back to Zion. 1t is all very we'll to
plan an insurrection against him when
he is i'll and away. But they have not
reckoned on his influence. They have
forgotten the tenacity of purpose, the
strength of will power, the flood of de-
termination of DR.. Dowie. When he
appears again before his people things
will be different. His people have faith
in John Alexander yet, and he has a
great mission yet to perform"
John Murray Dowie is like enough to
the son who repudiated him to be a
twin brother There is bud nineteen
years between them in age, and the son
appears fully as old as his father.
Judge Dowie talked interestedly of the
sons career, and of the family history,
yesterday morning for over an hour,
Regarding his teachings, the old man
said:
Il have battled for years with my
son on account of part of his religion.
I do not hold with his healing, but I
have seen wonderful things done in
Zion City. And when he has cleansed
himself Of the sins and the mistakes
he has made, in the greed of his power,
forgetting that what God in his good
ness has given him, that can also be
taken away, he will resume his old
place and his old power among his peo-
pie. Zion cannot help but prosper. But
John Alexander has overworked him
self He has assumed despotic sway
over the people that they will not
brook When he sees this and realizes
that he is but an instrument in Gods
hands, he will resume his old infiu-
ence.

Russian Revolutionary Moved
Greeting at New York.

Russian Revolutionary Moved by
Greeting at New York.
New York, April 11.-No traveller
across the Atlantic ever received a
more delirious greeting that that which
was given Maxine Gorky, the Russian
revolutionist and novelist, when he
landed at Hoboken last evening from
the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Gross.
More than 1000 Of his admirers, in
prominent Russian socialists Of this
city, blocked the pier entrance, over
flowing far out into the street. 1t was
necessary to make a vigorous charge
on the multitude to get Gorky and his
wife thru the jam. The cheers that
went up from thousand throats made
the steel girders virbate.
Gorky himself seemed to be half par
alyzed with mingled delight and Won
der. He had removed his hat and those
who were nearest him stroked his hair,
patted him on the back, and kissed his
long black cloak.
Many women nearly cried, and all
men had moistened eyes. The revolu-
ZIONIST seemed to be completely over
come. For at least ten minutes he and
his wife, who accompanied him, and
his adopted son, who went down the
bay to meet him, were unable to move
arms or feet, so solidly were they
packed in the middle Of the mass Of
enthusiasts
Welcome and No Tears.
The first man to shake hands with
Gerky when he stepped off the end of
the gang plank was Tchaykovsky, the
Russian who recently arrived from ex-
lie in Switzerland. They grasped each
others hands and looked steadily into
each others eyes for a full quarter of
minute Then Tchaykovsky said:
welcome; what it is, hope or tears,
Gorky7"
The novelist smiled a peculiar, broad,
and distinctively Russian smile and
answered:
mo tears. Hope-sure and certain -
Gorky had not seen his adopted son,
Pieshkoff, for nearly two years. They
embraced and kissed each other, the
father patting the boy on the back.
Gorky then looked in the direction Of
the reporters. His naturally pallid
face assumed still paler tinge. He
manifestly was frightened. Apparent
ly he had expected to come into the
country in modist unobtrusive way,
lust like any other cabin passenger.
On the passenger list he was put down
as M. Prieshkoff. That is his right
name. Gorky being that of his adopted
father.
