CHAMP CLARK SEES
AN IMPROVED WORLD.

Washington, Feb. Speaker Champ
Clark told a Christian Endeavor mass
meeting here today that the world was
growing better every day. He said
the reason many people took a gloomy
view of the times was because the
telegraph enabled newspapers now
adays to chronicle disasters of all the
world within a few hours. The speak
er declared that nothing made him
more angry than to hear people say
that public men of the present day
were corrupt The peoples represen-
tatives in Washington, he said, were
honest, conscientious servants" Nine
ty-nine per cent. of the men sent to
Congress, he added, depart poorer than
they come although they could acquire
fortunes by STOPPING to dishonesty.
Discussing the hardships resulting
from having several struggling
churches in a single small town, Mr..
Clark said he hoped some day to see
is own churches, the Christian or
Campbellite, and the Baptist, one great
denomination.

100, 900 Persons
Answer Church Call.

Boston, Feb. S.-"The go to church
campaign which has been waged for sew
eral weeks eliminated today in an est-
mated attendance of more than loooe
persons at the forenoon services in the
Protestant churches of the city, with an
equally large outpouring of worshippers
in the cities and towns within 10 miles OF
the State House.
All of the churches in this city report
ed congregations that taxed the seating
capacity the attendance in many eases
being double the average number.
Most of the churches provided automo-
biles and carriages to bring the aged and
infirm to the services. For weeks the
newspapers have aided in the campaign
and the .go TO church slogan has been
displayed on all sides by cards in store
windows, street car advertising and but
tons worn on the coats of thousands OF
people. The movement, which started
in the West, has for its aim not merely
TO make record for one day, but to
stimulate church going so effectively that
IL will continue of its own momentum.
Despite snow squalls and the uneer-
tain footing of icy sidewalks the eve
ming services were attended by con-
sreeations from to 50 Der cent. larg-
er than usual The churches were not
so crowded in the morning. but most
of the pastors expressed their salts
faction with the increased attendance,
particularly on the part of the young
er people.

SCHEDULE MEETINGS
OF THE BIG CLUBS.

New York, Feb. Son the eve of what
promises to be week of unusual inter-
est to major and minor baseball club
owners and players, as we'll as patrons of
the national game. delegates to the an
nual schedule meetings of the 1nterna-
tional National and American Leagues
arrived tonight. Among the first to reach
their respective meeting places were Pres
ident August Hermann of the Nationals
and President Edward Barrows of the
International League.
The invasion of major and minor league
territory by the newly formed Federal
League is the matter when is uppermost
in the minds of all interested in baseball
just now, but Chairman Hermann of
the National Commission does not seem
to be much worried as to what inroads,
if any, the Federals will make in the field
of organized baseball.
Il cannot see," said the Cincinnati
club owner tonight, chow new grounds
can be procured and stands built in time
for the playing season this year by the
Federals in Chicago, St Louis, Pittsburg,
Baltimore, Buffalo, Toronto or other cit
les where it is claimed they are going
to place clubs. Besides they will find 1t
difficult to secure enough players to make
up the teams, for should the venture be
had jumped their contracts could not be
trusted by organized league clubs and
they would find it no easy matter to get
back into the game. Players are wide
awake to their own interests

MAN ON MUD SCOW
RESCUED BY A TUG.

New York, Feb. S.-Drifting helpless
~ out to sea In northwest gale, a
mud scow with man on board was
overtaken by tug six miles out from
Sandy Hook, late tonight, after an ex-
citing chase. The man was rescued,
lines We're thrown to the scow and
the tug began to fight it's way back
into the teeth of the icy wind. The
identity of the rescued man was not
known. He had been on the scow since
early afternoon, when the flood tide
lifted the scow from a harbor knoll
on which she had grounded and car
ried her seward.
About dusk tug got line to the
scow and tried to tow her against the
wind and tide. She became unman-
ageable and the tug had to cut her
free and come up the harbor for as
sistance. At midnight the rescuing tug
had not come near enough to Sandy
Hook for her name to be recognized.

GOVERNMENT COMMANDERS
OIL SUPPLY AT VERA CRUZ.

Vera Cruz Feb. S.-The straits to
which the Mexican government is re-
duced for fuel with which to continue
the operation OF the National Railway
lines is shown by the communicating
today of practically the whole fuel
oil supply of Vera Cruz, thus threat
ening the speedy suspension OF all
traffic between this city and the cap
ital.
The government last night sent
train of IS oil cars, with capacity
Of 1900 gallons each. to Vera cruz.
This morning, an officer at the head
of a squad of troops made formal
demand on the agent OF the Agulla
Co. to surrender all the ell in its pos
session. The agent replied that the oil
had already been sold to the Mexican
Railway, which is a British Corpora
ton, and was told that it was imma-
terial to whom the oil belonged. The
engineer in charge of the pumps re-
fused to fill the oil tanks and was
arrested. Later he was released but
was compelled to obey the order.
There now remains in Vera Cruz
only a six-days supply of oil for the
operation of the Mexican and Inter-
Oceanic Railways, and there Is no
prospect of receiving more oil from
Tampico
It Is asserted that the next move OF
the Mexican government will be TO
seize the locomotive and rolling stock
of the Mexican Railway in order TO
replace the engines and cars recently
destroyed in the North. 1t is possible
quickly to transform oil burning loco-
motives into coal burners, put there Is
practically no coal.
1t is reported. apparently on the best
Of authority, that a decree has been
prepared and only awaits the Presi-
dents signature doubling the duties on
all imports from the United States.

Two UNIQUE AND UN-
EXPECTED REQUESTS
TO YALE COLLEGE,

New Haven, Feb. S.--A peculiar in
ternational standing is given Yale by
the recent Lord strathcona and Sir
Archibald Henry Blount requests.
Both came from distinguished foreign
ers to whom the university appealed
spontaneously and, in the case of Sir
Archibald Henry Blount, it was not
known by his friends till after his
death that he had ever heard CT the
institution.
The two requests are unique in the
history Of American universities and
the results of both will be farreach-
ing. according to views now held at
Yale.
The formation of a group of foreign
ers at Yale similar to the Cecil Rhodes
scholars at oxford, is one of the ef-
fects expected from the Strathcona
beouest, and since the gift was an
nounced on Monday, the university au-
thorities have been active in planning
for the development of the university
along lines indicated by the will of the
late Canadian pioneer.
The Blount bequest, which did not at
tract as worldwide attention as that OF
Lord Strathcona, was, in general, similar
in a large degree to that GIT, MS enure
residuary estate, amounting to SoI'9'V'
being willed to Yale.
The fact that Sir Archibald Henry
Blount had never seen Yale and that ne
took I'D his plan TO transmit his estate TO
the university without knowledge OF his
MANS by the institution, made his act OF
unusual interest.
Similarly, the Strathcona bequest came
az genuine news to the university ofti-
Gals. President Hadley and Secretary
Stokes receiving the information from
press sources and being unable to con-
firm II for some time.
Recent additions and developments to
the Yale curriculum enable the faculty
TO offer the applicants for scholarships
under the Strathcona bequest eXceptlona!
facilities for scientific work. The new
Yale schools of metallurgy and forestry,
the one under the direction of John
HAYES Hammond, the right-hand man OF
Cecil Rhodes in developing South Africa,
the other formed and developed by Git
ford Pinchot and Henry Graves, the pres
ent national forester, and the political
economy courses of Henry Crosby Emery,
the former head of the national tariff
commission, will, it is felt at Yale, prove
of particular attraction to the Canadian
Strathcona students.

Capt. James Holden
Commits Suicide.

Peterboro, n. H., Feb, S.-Capt. Jas.
H. Holden, commanding troop A, cav
airy, N H. N. G., committed suicide
this afternoon by shooting himself
through the heart with a 3S-calibre
revolver.
1t is believed that worry over an I'M
just criticism of his command by the
federal inspector which was later ex
onerated by a special state re-inspec-
tion and chronic stomach trouble
threatening cancer, are responsible for
the rash act. The deed was done in
a room in the captains home after
attending church and making his usual
visit to the armory, where he chatted
and joked with his brother officers and
friends.
The report of the shot brought his
wife and aged mother to his side, but
life was extinct.

ference without the slightest oppesi-

Chicago Weather
Costs One Life,

Chicago, Feb. S.-Zero weather-the first
of the year here-~brought one death and
caused suffering to thousands of poor to-
day. All day the mercury has lowered
near the zero mark.
Seventy Sfires, most of them caused by
overheated stoves and furnaces, kept the
fire department moving all day. Tonight

hands and feet. Two Episcopal churches,
st. Chrysostem's and the Church of the
Annunciation, were damaged by fires.
