Iation Of the church law. Bish-
op w. w. Webb, Of Milwaukee,
has revoked the clergyman's license
of Rev. Francis Z. Alleyne, rector Of
St Edmund's Episcopal church, Mil
waukee, who for two years was in
charge OF the Church Of the Holy
Innocents Of this city.
Milwaukee dispatches state that
Mr. Alleyne resigned as the result
Of charges preferred against him by
members Of his church, and that fol-
lowing close upon the prompt accept
ance Of the resignation Bishop Webb
revoked his preaching license. His
pulpit al ST, Edmund's church was
filled yesterday by Rev, Louis Strang.
Alleyne has gone to Oconomowoc,
where today he refused to discuss the
case or announce his plans for the
future.
II is known that charges Of i'm
proper conduct and violations Of the
church law were filed with the vestry
against the minister, and current ru-
NOR has it that number Of items
were Of most sensational character.
One report is that among other
things members OF the church looked
upon MFR. AIleyne with baleful eye
because he taught some of the young
or generation the manly art of box
ing.
Rev. Fran-;s Ailgyne left here two
years ago after having been rector
OF Holy Innocents chapel for a short
time, He was -greatly liked here, es-
pecially among the men. and his in
iluence could have been wide has his
life been different. He was man Of
fine attainments and has been chap
plain in the English navy. he said. He
also said he had been midshipman
in the English navy Generally speak
ing, he had a wide knowledge Of the
world. He belonged to the Elks and
was fireat mixer" making strong
friends Of men here, whom no other
minister had ever been able to ap-
proach in religious way.
After being here a short time he
became afflicted with inaammatory
rheumatism, and was treated by sew
eral doctors with but little benefit,
Then it began to be known that his
besetting sin was drinking. His ILL.,
ness continued and later friends Of
this city sent him to Collins Springs,
Later he went to the Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland, where he was
under the care Of DR.. Joseph, When
he left here he complained Of an in
cipient attack Of locomotor ataxia.
Other than that a few learned Of
his uncomfortable love for drink, no
word Of reproach was ever heard here
against him, He simply dropped out
of sight when his illness came, and
was never formally removed.

Mr.. Bryan as Senator.

New York World:
Regardless of any political differ
ences, the World wishes Mr.. Bryan
well f. his candidacy for United States
Senator from Nebraska to succeed Mr.
Burkett, whose term expires in 1911.
We say this without modifying in any
way our opposition to many of the
policies that he has advocated or our
dissent from many of the principles
that he upholds. Mr.. Bryan would
make a good Senator. He would try
to represent the people. not the COR
porations. and he would bring quail
ties of a very high order to the upper
house of Congress. He is an excellent
debater. able. eloquent and resource
full, and would render a far greater
service to his party on the floor of
the Senate than he ever a as a can
didate for President. Nebraska could
not make a better choice, and If the
new primary system of that state en-
ables Mr.. Bryan to become a United
States Senator we shall consider his
election a great triumph for the prin-
cipe of direct nominations"

Mr.. Bryan and His Party.
New Orleans States:

New orleans States:
THE announcement of the Common
err that Mr.. William J. Bryan is a can
didate for the United States Senate
from Nebraska will, we think, be ac-
certed by all Democrats as a notifica-
presidential field, and that he will
not again head the party ticket. This
is something over which his enemies
in and out of the party should be re-
joicing and we have heard NJ shout
Of exulation from any of them. For
a number of years they have been
striving with no success for the 'elim-
nation of Mr.. Bryan from the leader
ship of Democracy and when they
have despaired of getting rid of him
he voluntarily eliminates himself. All
things considered a big celebration
ties.
st is safe to say, that the announce
ment of Mr.. Bryan's candidacy for the
Senate was O very pleasant news
for anumber of Democratic and Re-
publican members Of that body who
are not in accord with his views on i'm
portant public questions, but recognize
his ability to ably maintain them
should he be elected to the Senate.
But while the distinguished Nebraskan
retires from party leadership and is
out of the next presidential race, there
isnot the least doubt but that he will
continue to exercise great influence in
the c~ounsels of his party.
"It is conceded ever by Republicans
of Nebraska that his chances of cleo
ton to the Senate under the new pri-
mary law are excellent. and therefore
it is quite probable that three years
hence his voice will be heard in the
Senate Chamber pleading the OF
the common people. Although he re
tires from the leadership Of his party
he will continue to be more influential
than any other man in it. His elO
Quence, his high character and the es
TEEN in which he is held by the PEG
pie make this certain.
