BKHAT1.
. Sept £a-In the ubeonoe of
he Tlce-pseliaeni the senate was prealded over
yMr aarrJU.
Mr Stewart presented revolutions adopted at
t a mass-meetly h*W in Cleveland. O., faTor-
ng an itiveBtljratlon Into the question whether
eoators are owners of national bank stock.
Be expressed the hope tha( the inresttaatlon
would be made and that the prevalent rumors
aato the ownership of national bank stock
iivlng had anything to do with the demonetlz-
tlon of silver would be Mt at rent
The sutficestloa was mafle, aareastloally, by
Mr. Hawley (rep,, Conn ) thatit shall be ascer-
tained exactly how muck eaoh smator In worth,
id whether the fact that he ia not a pauper haa
nything to do with his votes.
Mr Dubola (rep, Idaho) offered tho follow-
itf resolution on which he said he would ad-
ress the senate to-morrow
^1
WHXBXAB, Several sovereign states are
without full representation In the senate to
which they are entitled; therefore be It
HwhHd, That the consideration of legiela-
lon relating to the federal eleetlon laws, the
artff ana Bnanolal matters, which materially
fleet the partially unrepresented states, be
oatponed In the senate until Monday, Jan-
ary 16, i»04, to enable the state* of Washlng--
on, Montana and Wyomlac to have the votes,
nfluonce and protection in the senate which
re guaranteed to every sovereign state by tho
onslituUon of tbe United States
The resolution offered yoflterday by Mr. Pet-
er, calling for information as to the antlolpa-
on of Interest on tho public bonds since 1861,
was laid before the eeuat*, and Mr. Shenaan
poke against it as causing a great deal of un-
eoeiiary labor and «ipen» to the depart-
lent The senator could find all the luforma
.on he wanted In public documents
To a question by Mr Teller Mr. Sherman ro-
lled that tbe anticipation ot interest had
ocen authorized by law, and was not a mere
mttor of custom
After further discussion the resolution, on
lotion of Mr Quay, was laid oil the table
"OILS, £T, nays, ID
At 1 10 p m the repeal bill was, on motion
f Mr VoorUeea, taken up There was some
uestlon as to what had become ot Mr Stew-
rt's resolution on which he spoke yesterday
ndthe presiding officer (Mr Harris) ruled
hat on objection yesterday by Mr Wash-
urne, tho resolution had gone to the calendar
hen Mr Stewart informed Mr. Washburno
hat tho objection would not prevent him re-
ewlag tho resolution and going on with his
emarks Mr Quay, however, Indicated an
Ejection to gHlmr Mr Stewart an opportunity
0 open his attack on the president'of the
'lilted States
"1 waa discussing the conduct of the presl-
ent," was Mr. Stewart's amendment of Mr
uay'a pbrase
Tho question of the right of a senator to
arm out the floor in that way was raised by
Mr Faulkner, and the chair ruled In that
ense
A colloquy on this point was carried on for
ome time, and was finally interrupted by the
residing officer, who declared that It was out
1 order and that he was perfectly satisfied
with the answer he had given to Mr. Faulkner
he senator from Nevada (Mr. Stewart) had
he floor by virtue of tbe fact that he had been
ecognUed when tbe bill was taken up to-day
Mr Stewart yielded the floor to Mr Perkins
rep , Cal) who addressed the senate It was
Is tlrst speech in the body except when he
renounced an eulogy on the lite and character
f his predecessor, Mr Stanford His voice
?as full and clear, and his speech attracted at-
entlon
Mr Perkins closed his speech at 1 80 and
as congratulated upon the success of his
abut Tben Mr Stewart resumed the floor.
After the senator had spoken some time, at
iis request, Mr Mitchell read an article from
San Francisco paper
When the reading
&B finished Mr Palmer *aaked whether it waa
onslatent with the proper relations that
" lould exlat between the president and the
nate thus to have charges against the execu-
ve read In the senate
Mr Stewart replied that It was consistent
or him as a senator to defend the senate
against what the press regarded aa "a rebuke"
administered to It by the president "Let his
rlends." he added angrily, "deny that he haa
elicited patronage to control the senate; let
lem deny that he has attempted to control
egislatlon, let them make It clear to the
ountry that patronage has not been given to
hose who supported hla measures. Let them
iake It clear to the country bow the sentiment
t congress has been changtd Let them
iake It clear how the overwhelming majority
blob had been claimed herein favor ot free
olnage has been changed Into a monometallic
majority
Let them maUo It clear that patron-
age haa been given to all democrats, without
igard to their position on the ailver question
'hose charges have become too common, and,
they are uot true they should be denied."
Mr Palmer (In marked contrast of manner
oMr Stewart'a)—" Will the senator himself
Ddlcate a single instance In which the presl-
ent has employed his putronago to control a
enator or mombor of the house''
"Why,
my dear sir," Mr Stewart exclaimed,
these things are charged every day In the
ubhc press uml let you deny thorn If you
m "
"Deny what?
"Deny that patronage was given to those who
re supporting the administration measure."
' If the senator himself," Mr Palmer quietly
erslsted, "will, on his own responsibility as a
enaior, make a charge of that kind, I will con-
oss It or I will deny U But the Idea that the
rlends of the president or the president him-
ilf should formally deny all these charges
gainst him in the newspapers is absurd.
would bo the value of denial? I am call
ng attention to the strange attitude whlob the
enator occupies In repealing on this floor
barges against the president for which tho
enator himself will not be responsible "
Mr Stewart broke in "I will answer These
barges have been rande in the public press
They have been made In the administrative or-
ana, which have also made the demand that
he senate >tiuaU vote tlrst and debate after-
•ards
It Is claimed In these papers that the
power of the administration haa been used to
uasb this bill, and. we see before us the re
We soe what was a democratic majority
or free coinage malt away I have not sped
led particulars I speak of grand roaultt And
et any man deny that the power of patronage
baa been abused Let ua (he exclaimed, aa if a
udden Inspiration had cvme upon him) have e
ull investigation "
Will the senator," Mr Palmer again asked,
'kindly namo a single senator whom ha knows
boll«vea to have been Influenced by the
avors of tho president?"
'Too senator from Illinois desires to make
personal matter of it
Oh, pshaw [Laugh
erl
"If I believed," said Mr. Palmer, "what tu«
senator asserts, 1 would give the names of the
senators Implicated "
"Will the senator." Mr Stewart asked, "rote
or a resolution giving to a committee' the
power to Investigate*"
'I will," Mr. Palmer replied, "whenever the
senator himself, in hla place, makes a chargi
against any senator or any member of tho
house of representatives "
"I do not want to confine the investigation to
one. I want to take In all "
"Whenever the senator bring* Information
or charge agatnat any Individual In the«ena,te
X will vote for an Investigation "
But Mr Stowart would not name the man,
and the colloquy oohtlnned until he beearae an
voyed.
"I decline to he Interrupted," he a&ld.by
each questions. I wilt not make personal
eaanes, because the air Is full ot them."
"Yes, they are very windy They are op
mttoh so they blow down upon a good many
senators and members " [Laughter.]
Then Mr Stewart went back to hla newspa-
per extracts After that he put Into requisi-
tion a speech from Mr. Webster during tbe
Jackson administration, and a report from Cal-
hounon executive patronage in 1835.
Mr Stewart yielded the floor, but without
concluding all that he had to say.
Mr Morgan rose to a personal explanation
Alluding to the article from a New York paper
which had been read in the senate Imputing to
himself personal and political enmity to Mr
Cleveland, he saf d.
"I am very happy to state that between tbe
President and myself there exist tbe most
cordial personal relations They have always
existed and I hope they ever will, for I esteem
and prlzo him very highly in all personal re
apeots and in his public career I think that
the history of Mr Cleveland is a history which
illustrates some of the higher properties of the
American character. I differ with Mr Cleve-
land in some of his views of public polity.
I do not think that I differ with him on any
questions that are vital to the country
or vital
to the
democratic
party.
In
the
enforcement
of
the
principles
on
which we have always so happily agreed we
maydiJTer I may differ on measures of pol-
icy, but only on measures of policy
In fact, I
doubt very much whether the differences be
tween the president and myself arc of any
very Important character, if I understand what
are really hla opinions and his hopes in rela-
tion to the present Imbroglio In which we are
involved "
With this statement Mr Morgan said he felt
just!tied in saying that lu this particular arti-
cle the paper played the part simply of mis-
chief maker
Its ntatements were simply and
maliciously false
Mr Voorhaes had also something to say in
relation to the president He was very glad to
hear the remarks of the senator from Ala-
bama in regard to the assault which had been
made upon the president in the last two days
He desired to account for the attitude of sl-
lonot observed on tbe democratic side ot the
chamber In the face of assault
It was that it
had not been thought necessary to say a
single word In defense of Mr
Cleveland
from
the time
he was
born in New
Jersey up
to tbe
present
hour
On
hla Bide of the chamber and, he tiad reason to
believe, on the other aide of the chamber, and
all over the country Mr Cleveland's defense
had been fully made by the Am erlcan people
themselves His gnat and powerful career
disarmed all such aisaults as had been made
upon him
Whatever the fault the senator
from Nevada mi^ht have found in Mr Cleve-
land's career the people had not seen It in
tbat way. Whatever of criticism the senator
of Nevada might have Indulged in the American
people had not shared that criticism with him
Nobody was perfect
Human nature waa In-
firm, The loftiest of characters were not ta-
fallablo. But he ventured to aay that in
American history Grovar Cleveland, his char
acter bis achievements, hli honor, his patri-
otism and his abilities would stand in the tore-
most lino of all the assaults which had been
mado Whether senators differed from Mr
Cleveland
or
agreed
with
him, no-
body
failed
to
recognize
his
stal
wurt
and
powerful
character
and
his
high integrity He hoped that this little trlb
ute would be taken an sufficient to account for
the fact that the democratic side of the cham-
ber would not feel called upon to enter upon
any defense of the president unless something
far more Important was charged against him
thtfn had been charged up to this time
The senate, and 6 p m after a short uxecu
tlvo session, adjourned until to morrow at 11
a m
HOUSE
On motion of Mr Grosvenor, a joint resolu-
tion was passed authorizing the commission
ers of tho Chattanooga National park to use
atone and gravel on the grounds for tho pur-
pose of making foundations for monuments
Mr Smith asked for the consideration of a
resolution providing for tho printing ot the
bearings held by tho committee on ways and
means
At the suggestion of Mr Wilson the resolu-
tion went over until to morrow.
Mr Talbott asked consent for the immediate
consideration of a resolution requesting tho
committee on banking and currency, after tho
disposal of the federal election repeal bill, to
report the McLauren bill
Mr Warner objected
In the aecond morning hour (tho first being
unproductive of results) Mr Talbott moved
that the house go Into committee ot the whole
for the consideration of the bill to remit the
penalties on tho designers ot the Vesuvius, but
by consent the bill was la Id over until the llth
of October
The house then, in accordance
with the special order, proceeded to the con
aide rat ton of the Federal eloattons repeal law
and was addressed by Mr Tucker, who opened
tbe debate
Mr. Bros!us (rep, Pa.) congratulated the
gentleman from Virginia on his able speech,
and he desired to emulate hie example in one
particular He would be glad to discuss the
measure from a nonpartisan point of view
He believed that underneath tho flowing
stream of our politics there was a patriotism
and to that patriotism he appealed to-day He
then spoke against the proposed repeal.
He
laid down the propositions that the federal
constitution was not the creature of the states,
but was created by the people, tbat the power
and authority conferred upon the government
were operative lu all tho states and over all
the people; that the cation was clothed with
ample power to enforce the constitution
Several other members sp*oke to the resolu-
tion sod finally, the lack Of a quorum apparent
the house adjourned

BERLIN, Sept. 37.—Herr Alois, an
artist who is a close friend ot the Bis-
marck family, arrived here from Kls-
singen last evening. lie gives an un-
•expectedly discouraging report of the
prince's condition. The most formid-
able of Bismarck's maladies have been
ecute pneumonia.
The disease was
not discovered by the physicians un-
til the patient's condition had be-
come
critical.
The
physicians
and family are exceedingly anxious
and watch Bismarck constantly, as, al-
though convalescing, he is very weak
and quite liable to a relapbe, which
must prove fatal
According to Herr
Alois' report, tho old man seems like a
wreck. His splendid frame has shrunk
and his flesh has fallen off until his
clothes hang in folds
Hi) appears as
if fully a head shorter than before his
illness. The princess is strongly op-
posed to removing him to Friederichs-
ruhe. He, "however, is anxious to go
home
Emperor William took his special
tram yesterday afternoon at Schonen-
brun for Berlin, after having lunched
with Emperor Francis Joseph. He
bade the Austrian emperor a cordial
farewell, and as the train drew out of
the station cried out: "Auf weider-
seheu.
Kmperor millam
I
Count Lohandorf, the emperor's ad- <
jutant, returned yesterday from Kis-
smgen, where he was trying to arrange
for an interview between the emperor
and llibmarck in the near future. Bis-
marck's physicians, the princess, Count
Herbert and his brother-in-law, Count
Rantzan, wish to have the meeting de-
ferred until the prince slmll regaiu his
strength
Nothing has been done to-
wards fixing definitely a date for the
interview.
Last evening it was possible, for the
first time, to obtain the text of Em-
peror William's telegraphic correspond-
ence with Prince Itism.irck
From
Quens the emperor sent on September
19 the following message 1 o Kissmpren
"I have, to my great reg'-et, only just
learned that your highness has gone re-
cently through a somewhat serious ill-
ness. At the same time I have received
the news, thank God, that you are
now making steady progress toward
recovery. I, therefore, beg to express
to you my great satisfaction with this
encouraging development
Being anx-
ious to asbist in thoroughly completing
your recovery and establishing your
health, I beg your highness, in view of
the unfavorable climate and location
of Friederichsruhe, as well as Varsin,
to take up your quarters for the winter
in one of my castles in central Ger
many. Afer conferring with my court
marshal I shall communicate to your
highness the name of the castle which
will be most suitable to your pur-
pose."
.Prince Ititmarck
Prince Bismarck's reply to this di»-
pateh was1
"With the deepest respect I thank
your majesty for the precious expres-
sion of your sympathy in my illness
and your satisfaction with the more
recent improvement of my health
I
thank your majesty no lees for , your
gracious desire to assist in furthering
my recovery by providing for me a
residence under the mo^t favorable
climatic conditions.
My respectful
gratitude for your majesty's gracious
intent is in no way diminished by
the conviction that
should
it be
God's
will that I remain in my
health, my recovery would be quicker
in my family circle and in the sur-
roundings to which I have now been
so long accustomed. My complaint be-
ing of a nervous nature, I share the
opinion of my doctor* that if I spend
the winter in my present surroundings
and occupations my mode of lif« will
be the most likely means of promoting
recovery.
I agree -with my doctor
also in the opinion that the disturb-
ance of my nervous system, which
might result from a sojourn in strange
surroundings and new associations
such as would be designed as your
majesty's gracious wishes, is, in view

Smallpox.
IjTOiAKAi'OLis, Ind , Sept. 27 —Tho
ittt te board of health filed its report o{
the smallpox investigation at Munclo
with the governor yesterday morning.
Secretary Metcalfe haul m it that tho

»800 per week
He continues "Wo

and nurses, which are necefasary ajjents
to keep the disease within control and

"Unless all cases arc carefully qnar-

and if the city of Muncie should raise
the quarantine, \\hich it has now
claced on cabes and the disinfected.
points, for the want of sufficient means
to maintain them, there can be no
question but what the disease would
spread and the state authorities oa
blamed for it if financial aid is re

Resolutions passed by the board ap-
prove the quarantine set vice, the burn-
ing of garbage and other methods
adopted by the Muncio authorities to
suppress the epidemic. The governor
has the communication under consider-

an answer the last of the week.

There Is No Need
Of reminding you of the depression
in trade You are well aware of that.
But in this connection we wish to
remind you of this fact, that in times
like these CASH is an important fac-
tor. Orders placed early by mer-
chants for fall merchandise were
almost universally countermanded.
This threw enormous stocks on title
manufacturers' hands, of which they
had to dispose of at a great sacrifice
for rea.dy CASH. We had the CASH
and bought later, and as a result we
own our Fall and Winter stock fully
35 to 40 per cent, cheaper than il
we had been forced to purchase on
time. No further argument is needed
to convince you that, buying cheap,
we can also sell you cheap.
Our Fall and
Winter Stock
is now in, and we cordially invite
your inspection of it, and feel cer-
tain that we can convince you of tile
truth of the above.

Train robbers have recently been hav-
ing eome trouble. They have ran against
some people who are disposed to dispute
their right to hold up a train and rob it
without encountering any resistance.
Th* result is that eome of those masked
American ottizsna have been sent to a
country where, according to the beet it
formation at hand, the valuable things
ot the realm are not shipped from point
to point, and where each people do not
carry into effect the maxim of tbe loafer,
that "the world owes him a living,"
which involves bis right to get it m any
way he may see fit.
Some pays ago, n«ar Oautralia, when
an attempt was made by these bluffers
to rob a train, the employes ot the Illi-
nois Central railway who were in charge
of th* train, jumped on the robbers with
a shotgun and some convenient iron
bars, after the fireman and'engineer bad
been severely wounded by the outlaws,
and shot and beat the knights of the
road until they captured all of them but
on*. They did not rob that train; bat,
instead, they went to jail, Where they
tumbled over each other to confess their
guilt and gin the name* ot all connected
with th* robbery.
Near St. Joe, Ho., last Monday monr
ing.anothar gang boarded a train, with
th* vtow of robbing the express ear.
That Kate was loaded, not, however, by
a set of men that had any intention to
see the robbers perform on • safe with
dynamlt*. or on the express messenger
and their men with revolvers and Win-
chesters. The shoe w*» on the other foot;
and tbe robber* were shot down, as they
deserved to b*, Uk* dog*; *nd those who
were not killed were eaptmnd
ThJ* Is tbe Had ot eiperione* that will
cans* tbe*e bandits to think. It is Ihe
with which tt»y pro»ose to deaorst* the
six men who prevented th* intended
Ontrelifi robbery, and in addition to th*
medals, have given these nun 12,000 m
Tbe recipient* an A Odim, cot-
doctor; Ben Xonng, engineer; fid. Mc-
Dowell, firemen; Felix Armstrong, bag-
gageman; 0. D. Boyle, express messenger,
and F. J. Sanders. Ihis is business.

HIGH ART IN COOKERY.
Bow the Appotlt«*MW *• T«mp»* bj
Aittotte OaraUhlns-.
The scientific branch of cookery
comprises the devising: of dishes and
sauces. The artistic branch consti-
tutes the art of garnishing-, and this
play SB most important part in the out-
come of the kitchen, aa, by means of
it, dishes please the eve before the;
please the palate. First impressions
go a great way, and when one sense Is
captivated by an agreeable and invit-
ing appearance the dish must be bad,
indeed, which fails to stand the more
searching ordeal of taste. Besides,
people who suffer from jaded appetite
have a better chance of eating their
dinner when the dishes which are pot
before them are pleasant to the sight
Art, however, is not a thing to be
taught. Yon may show a man how to
mix colors, but you cannot teach him
how to use them. I will only attempt
to explain that what in cookery U
meant by garnishing is not the tradi-
tional parseley of the cook, and I will
describe what cooks, properly so called,
mean by garnishing, of what garnishes
are made and how the different materi-
als are prepared for the purpose. The
conditions of these things are too in-
finite to allow of more than a general
exposition. They wholly depend on
the talent, skill and taste of the opera-
tor. The one and a great thing to avoid
as much as possible is the using for
purposes at garnishing things which
are not eatable.
"Garniture," which, is rendered into
English by "garnish," may be defined
as all that is added to the chief ma-
terial, which constitutes the dish.
Thus tomato sauce in a dish of cutlets
or fried potatoes around a steak are
(rarnlshes. These things fall naturally
under two great heads—the hot gar-
nishes, which accompany every savory
dish, and the cold garnishes, which go
with cold meats, salads, etc. Vegeta-
bles are the chief material of hot
garnishes. By judicious combinations
they will produce very pretty effect of
color. For instanoo7 turnips, potatoes,
artichokes, cauliflowers, celery and
vegetable marrows will give whites;
carrots, tomatoes, beet roots supply
the reds; truffles and
mushrooms,
blacks, and then there are the endless
shades of green given by beans, peas,
sprouts, cucumbers, asparagus, etc
To be used, all such vegetables as
will admit of it, must be cut into uni-
form shape by what are called vegeta-
ble cutters, tho successful use of which
requires some practice.
Vegetables
are usually out before cooking. If
.preferred, they may be cut with a
iknifc.
They should always be hot
.when sent to the table.
Besides the
out vegetables, mashed potatoes are
iaiso used for garnishing. After being
mashed, shape in various forms, or
they may be made into croquets
Bread sippets, which are used to
garnish many dishes, should be in-
variably fried in butter, and fried to a
uniform color nil over. They ought to
be cut out of stale bread, and should
be of the same shape and thickness.
Force meat, quenelles, tongue, hard-
boiled eggs, olives, etc., are all used m
garnishing In the mattei of garnishes
for cold dishes there is a wider scope
for artistic feeling.
Cold meats may
be ornamented with jelly, parsley or
with curled garden cress, which, while
it resembles parsley, has the advantage
of being eatable when raw. But it is
With salads the greatest taste may bo
displayed, and patience, too, will be
required.—Philadelphia Press

BHEWANTEDSOME HELIOTROPE.
\Vlttful Ixinglnj of tue Mlddle-Aied
Matron In a Hmpltal Cot.
The women who carry to hospitals
the flowers collected by the different
"flower missions*' are greeted, as a
rule, with gratitude warmly expressed.
Their posies are welcome, whether
Haunting Eudbeckias from the fields
or the rarest of sweet peas from the
garden. Probably poor little Peggy,
the flower girl in the poem, was the
only human being wlio over was "sick
of the smell of roses."
An enthusiastic flower missioncr
from Evanston once met with indiffer-
ence to her nosegays, but it was only
momentary. The middle-aged woman
In one hospital cot turned her head
away from the basket.
"Don't you care for a flower?" Bhe
was asked.
"I dun no. What you got?" This in
ullest of tones.
"Why here are roses, and daisies, and
pinks and heliotrope "
"Heliotrope!
HsYve you got some
heliotrope9 Let me see a piece of that,
will you?"
The Evanstonian w ar, touched
Her
fancy quickly wove a Btory or two
about the life of this commonplace
matron. Perhaps, long ago, there had
been heliotrope growing in the garden
where she had been wooed when more
wooable Perhaps a little child, now
dead, had loved the scent of heliotrope.
She put a big spray in the coarse
'hand. "Ah!" said tbe heroine of her
'imaginings, "I've wanted to see some
•'heliotrope for ever so long. They say
'it's such a fashionable color." — Chicago
Tribune.
_
Spider* Eat Their Mothers.
One of the most unnatural things in
nature, if the expression is allowable,
is the manner in which the young of
the common wolf spider, found every-
where in this country, treat their
mother. After the little creature has
laid her eggs she envelopes them in a
silken covering, BO as to make a ball
about the size of a pea, and this she
carries about with her wherever she
goes, and will defend it with her life.
When the young are hatched, they
climb on her back, giving her a mon-
strous appearance, and ride about
until nearly half grown, and as soon
as they discover their strength they
fall to and devour their mother. As a
rule the maternal relation is recog-
nized in the animal and insect world
only as lone as the necessity for pro-
tection exists, but instances of the
young actually devouring a parent by
main force and common consent are
extremely rare.— London Nature.

Messrs. Barnabee, Karl and McDonald
have found the Bostomona in snob de-
mand in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago that they now, of necessity,
confine their engagements to those cities.
However, the demand for the highly snc-
osssfnl operas which they control is so
greet that they last season organized a
high-class company for the presentation
of their greatest successes in those cities
which the Bostonians could not hope to
reach. This is the Bobin Hood Opera
company, which is soon to appear in our
city, and which this season presents the
glorious opera comiqae, "Bobin Hood,"
and its companion piece, "The Knicker-
bockers," both by DeKoven and Smith.
The company is as nearly the equal ot
tha Bostonians as Barnabas, Karl and
McDonald can make it, and it is unques-
tionable that they possess not only the
artistic ability to select superior singers
bat the capital wherewith to command
their services.

Tha Great Herrmann.
The Great Herman, the eminent pros-
tidigitatenr, will be seen at the Opera
House Saturday evening, September 80.
BIB fame is widespread thronbgont two
continents, and his nams a household
word. For thirty years he has mystified
young and old with hid wonderful optical
and mechanical illnBiooe. and in all that
time he has never disappointed tbe ex-
pectations of bis audience. Of this fact
IB is more proud than of his title, "King

Bey O A. Crane, of DMWlUo, Ar-
rests the Character ot Bev.
James Miller—The Prob-
able Outcome.
As before stated by the B»POBLIOAB,
Bev. James Miller, former pastor ot the
First H. E. ohuroh ot this city, wae, dur-
ing tbe last oonferenoe year transferred
from this to tbe Book Biver oonferenoe,
and for reasons which have also been
etated in these columns at the oonfer-
enoe in Clinton, which has just adjourned.
Mr. Miller applied for reedmi»ion to
this conference.
Bishop Fowler, who
presided, decided to make tha transfer.
Tbe rules governing the transfer ot
minister from one oonferenoe to another
are briefly and substantially that a min-
ister whose character baa not been ar-
rested and who ia not under charges, and
when the oonferenoe to which he be-
longs is held at a later date, than the
oonferenoe to which he desire* to be
tranfferred, and when the conference
from which he desires to be transferred
is presided over by another bishop he
makes his application, and it there ie
room for him in the conference, and it be
is a desirable preacher, the presiding
bishop informally receives him and as-
signs him to work, and following this the
presiding bishop in the oonferenoe, to
which he legally belongs, gives bis cot-
sent. In case tbe same bishop presides
at both conferences, ot course tbe matter
is altogether ia the hands of a single
bishop. In oaads where charges have
been preferred against a preacher in tbn
conference to which he belongs, the
bishop cannot consent to the transfer
until anon minister ie triad and acquitted.
In oases where tha oonferenoe from
whioti n minister daeirea to be trans-
ferred meets before the one to which be
wishes to be transferred, the bishop pro
Biding grants tbe transfer first, end tbe
bishop presiding at the later conference
concurs in the transfer.
In the case ot Bev. James Miller the
conference from which he desired to be
transferred m ots lot r than the one to
which he desired to be transferred, and,
before stated, Bishop Fowler granted the
transfer, end at the request of the entire
official board ot tbe Bloomirgton Grace
M. K. church, assigned him to that
ohnrok.
Upon discovering this, Eev. Charles A
Grane, of Danville, who evidently did
not desire the readmiseion ot Mr. Miller
to this conference on such conditions,
just before the bishop roes to read the
appointments went to tbat official on the
platform and whispered to him that he
had arrested the character of Bev. James
Miller, in the Book Biver conference,
having filed charges against him. This
waa evidently done to block the transfer.
But the bishop was equal to this parlia-
mentary emergency, and taking his list
wrote, "Grace IU. K. church, Blooming-
ton, to be supplied," and calling tbe prt-
siding elder of tbat district instructed
him to supply Grace church with Bev.
James Miller, and thus he becomes tbe
pastor of tbat onnrob, and will continue
in tbat relation to the charge nnleus ho
IB funnd guilty of tbe charges filed
by Sit. Crane when he ia put oa trial ut
the Eoeeiua of the Book Biver oonferenoe
in October.
Thm paper cannot undertake to eay
positively what motives Mr. Orane may
have had in the coarse he has pursued in
tbie matter, but Ins aotion in doing what
be did, at the timo be did it, upon its
face, is not creditable to Mr. Crane. The
only reasonable conclusion that osn be
ranched IP, tbat, baa the I ishop decided
not to transfer Mr. Miller, Mr. Crane
would not have gone to the trouble, from
purely moral grounds, to prefer charges
egainxt Lira in another conference
He
had nmpie time to do tuie had snob mo-
tives prompted him without resorting to
the telegraph and waiting to notify tbo
biahop of his aotion nutil the very last
last moment.

op, as Hume uo dottbt wished him t<> do,

Sa long as suoli a pro
pOfliUlaurisbcd there was no effort mat
to prefer charge;. It was not until
writ) learned that Mr. Miller had been ac
signed to one of tbe best charges in tbe
conference that his character became
saileble. These things, which very nesrl
approach well established truths, rank
the prefering of charges take on the op
pearunce ot trickery rather than the ont
growth of a good Motbodtst conscience

GLOOM IN BLOOMINCrTOH.
every day lite believes that these charge
have re'erenoe to his moral character, as
no man bears a higher character than he
It is fairly well known that he ie charge
with heterodoxy; that is to say that he
does not preach the doctrines of tb
iptvreas laid do»a in the discipline
of the Methodist ouuroh, and that ex
tracts from too eeriea of sermons he
preached in Daoutnr and which were
published m the BBPuouoinatthetime
will be uied to substantiate the charges.
It is well known, that at tbe time these
sermons were preached, they were widelj
distributed among Methodist ministers
in this oon'erenoe, and their orthodox]
was not attacked. It is known also thai
since they were preached and published
and became public property, Bav. James
Miller wsa made a presiding eldsr in the
conference, without question as to his
orthodoxy SB shown by those sermons.
Sorely if ha violated the faith of tbe
ohuroh in any of them, that offense was
condoned in his elsvation to the pre-
siding eldsrship. and also in his conse-
quent transfer to Bock Bivar oonferenoe,
and all comers ore debarred from raising
ny question baaed upon them, now.
' These sermons were preached to Meth-
odist* who are well acquainted with the
ootrinea ot the church, and no one, so
ar as known, raised any question M to
;r orthodoxy. This leads to the oon-
usion that thow who have heard If r.
Oiler, aa the Bloomington and Deflator
churches havr, are nest qualified to judge
this loyalty to tbe faith of the church,
hose who nave heard bin stand by Mm.
t is only in the minds ot those who hav*
ot beard him that double a* to hfe
rthodoxy am bred by unjust nnoa.

BLOOUINOTON, 111., Sept. 27, -The
news which came to-day of the appoint-
ment of Dr. Wllcox, of SpnnRfield, ae
Collector for tha Eighth Revenue Dit-
triot, was a disappointment to ail m
BlocmioKton, as it had Csen oonfldeutly
expected tbat Owen Scott of this city
would pluck the plum, and Republicans
uo If m than Democrats hupej ho would.
Mr. Huott said to-night:
Yes, I am disappointed in the senna
that i ktilika to meet defeat, but I nm
glad the matter is settled. I have never
talked with the president ID regard to
the offio*, but relied wholly on Senator
Palmer and other friends.
When it was
impossible to appoint either Mr. Hiekox
^.m™!t:,01SD|'r to the disagreement
between Mr. Palmer and Mr. Springer,
o list of five, friendly to both Palmer and
Springer, was submitted to Mr. Cleve-
land, who from that list appointed Dr.
Wiloox.

the retiring pastor of Graoo M. E. ohnrob,
