TO DNIFT THE WORLD.

CHICAGO, Oct. 0.—Sunday at the Art building' on the lake front, under the uuspices of the Evangelical alliance for the United States of America, a Protestant religious congress began. Representing, as it does, the en'.ire Protestant world, its dignity and scope, tho distinguished character of so many of those who will participate in it, the broad ideal, as well as the minute practical character of the operations of the body organizing it, render it one of the most important congresses of the entire series.

Topics and Speaker!.

The subject# to be discussed fall under four general divisions, Christian liberty, the religious condition of Protestant Christendom, Christian union and cooperation, and the church and sociological problems. Among the speakers will be William E. Dodge, of New York, president of the Evangelical alliance President Gates, of Amherst, Mass. Dr. Curry, of Washington! Bishop Hurst, Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe, Dr. McCosh, Dr. Scliaff, Dr. Pierson, President Andrews, of Brown university Prof. Henry Drummond, Dr. Parkhurst, of New York Prof. Ely, and for foreign countries there will be impressive speauers from the Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain, Australasia and Canada.

Objects or the Alliance.

This congress represents the activities and progressive opinion of 10,0011,000

of people, constituting its

membership in evangelioal churches in the United States and the millions of the Europeon countries represented by delegates. The Evangelical alliance seeks to promote religious and moral work through the organization of local alliances, through great conventions and by the conduct of a bureau of information. Its chief object is to resist the advancement of skepticism on the one hand and to help promote all good works of patriotic, philanthropic and reformatory nature on tho other. It cioes not concern itself especially with dogmatic teachings, but seeks rather to practicalize the Protestant gospel of morality and beneficence.

Uutou for Cooperation.

One ofTOTfavorite objects is Christian union for cooperation. This will be a most interesting phase of the congress. Bishop Coxe will present the reasons and prospects of organic union among Protestant denominations Dr. McCosh is to speak on denominational federation the Home Missionary society, representing Christian cooperation in church extension, will have for spokesman Dr. Hyde. The work accomplished in Great Britain will be summarized by Secretary Arnold. who comes from London. Another objeot of the alliance is to make the mission of the Protestant church vital in society. Under this head the essays and addresses will be of absorbing interest Among the speakers will be men standing for both the extreme conservative and the extreme radioal standard of evangelical dogma and activity.

The Social Side*

The educational side of Protestant work will receive thoroughgoing attention. The social side will bring to the platform such eminent workers as Miss Grace Dodge and Lucy Bainbridge, who has been a leader among mothers' unions and women's societies generally in New York city. Under the head of economics, churches and labor bureaus will be discussed as well as New England kitchens, savings banks, provident funds and benevolent pawnbroking. These are but a few of tho suggestive topics of what must be a proliBc week of discussion and conference.

Sunday's Sessions.

The Evangelical alliance held two interesting and largely attended sessions Sunday. The afternoon session was devoted to addresses of welcome and the responses. The platform was filled witfi represesentative men and women, lawyers, doctors, authors, soldiers and business men from all parts of the civilized world. The meetings were opened with devotional exercises conduoted by Rev. J. Elmendorf. President Bonney followed with the opening .address. Addresses were made by Prof. William E. Dodge, Rev. Dr. Harrows, Prof. Samuel Ives Curtis, Mrs. Potter Palmer, Lord ICinnaird, of England Prof. H. Drummond, of Scotland Col. R. Nepven, of the Netherlands Dr. Orochet, of Italy, and Charles Kendall Adams, president of the University of Wisconsin. At night Prof. Dodge again spoke, and was followed by Rev S. I. Mcl'herson, of Chicago, and Prof. Merrill E. Gates, president of Amherst college. BUILDING A MAMMOTH DEPOT.

THE WORST FEARED.

A Boat Picked Up on Lake Superior Leads to the Belief That a Party of Eight Persons Lost Their Lives In Recent

Storm. DEKR PARK, Mich., Oct 9.—A disaster on Lake Superior ib which not less than eight lives ware lost came to light Sunday when a drifting boat was picked up by the craw of the Muskallong life saving station. Thev derelict was sighted in the forenoon,' and by the aid of strong glasses it was soon ascertained that the oraft was disabled and drifting. The crew put out in their boat and came up to the wreck just west of the station. The craft was found to be a fishing boat of the large size which operations on this part of Lake Superior make necessary. Closer inspection revealed her identity as a craft that had left White Fish Point October for Au Train, 100 miles west. There were on board a crew of at least five men and W. H. Carpenter, his wife and one child. It is reported that Carpenter had two children aboard but this rumor was not verified. No one was found on the wrecked boat and there is not the slightest cucouragement to believe that any escaped drowning. The fury of the northwest gale that swept •Lake Superior was at its height the night following the day on which the fishing boat left White Fish bay. and stauncher vessels than this one could not have weathered the storm.

When the gale struck the vessel she was undoubtedly soon overwhelmed and upset Inquiry received at the life saving station in regard to any tidings of the boat has established her identity. It is not likely that any of the bodies will be washed ashore, as the disaster evidently occurred a considerable distance out in the lake. It impossible to learn the names of the erew.

STORM MORTALITY 2,008.

Nearly AU the Details of the Great Olaaster In the South at Hand. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.—Making the necessary corrections and additions the mortality from the storm is now put at 2,008. It is not likely to vary fifty either way from the figure, as nearly all the vessels have been heard from. The vessels now known to be lost in addition to those already mentioned are the following:

Independent, with six lives lost: Innocent, with flvei Sunnyside, two Angeline, tour: Rosalie, three Birdte, four: Ioalie, three: EStola, four Clementine, three: St. Burtolomo, none Apostolo, four E. W. Eiiner, six Iona, three Delia, two Georgians, two: Antonio, two: Argi Del Rio, one Cinderella, Audlio, Lupus, Jambo, Borlo, Daniels.

Five boats have been sailing through the marshes and islands of Mississippi and Louisiana picking up the living and dead. Some fifty shipwrecked sailors have been found and carried to Biloxi, Soranton or some other of the neighboring towns. Most of them were in a very bad condition, completely exhausted by their long struggle and their lack of food and rest Incoming steamers from Central America report that they enoountered wreckage, tables, chairs and other household goods SO miles away from the mouth of the Mississippi

ADVOCATES OF VIOLENCE.

Scotch Agitators Favor the Hanging of a Few Coal Aline Owners. LONDON, Oct 9. —Twelve thousand persons assembled Sunday in Victoria park at the east end of Loudon and heard violent speeches in favor of the striking miners.

Mr. Mann urged the government oontrol of railways and mines.

GLASGOW, Oct. 9.—Several thousand men attended a meeting held upon the green Sunday at whioh the authorities were denounced for sending troops into the distriots and for killing men who were only, it is claimed, trying to obtain what was justly due them. Among the crowd were men carrying banners upon which caps of liberty were perched. Mr. Matto x, one of the speakers, declared that rent was robbery and that profit was plunder. Tl»ese assertions caused the wildest kind of applause and cheers. Messrs. Cunningham, Gresliam and others also made violent speeches, saying that the coal-mine owners were traitors who deserved to be hanged.

KILLED AT A CROSSING.

Mrs. Foley and Her Two Sens Meet Instant Death at Mlddleton, O. CINCINNATI, Oct 9.—A frightful crossing accident occurred just this side of Middletownon tho Big Four road Saturday evening. Matt Foley, a wealthy farmer of Monroe, had been at the Hamilton fair with his wife and two sons, aged 18 and 16. They were returning in a two-horse barouche.

PARNELL'S MEMORY.

Kopt Green by Faithful Followers in Ireland.

A DEMONSTRATION AT Is TOMB,

Thousands Observe tlie Kecoud Amilver. sary of the Leaders Death lit (ilanutvln Cemetery—Slany Tributes

Dared on tho Grave.

MOURNED FOB I'AliNKI.L.

DUBLIN, Oct 9.—irishmen from all over the world on Suuday assembled around the gruve of Charles Stewart Paruell in Glasnevin cemetery and did honer and reverence to the memory of the great Irish leader. It was the second anniversary of the death of the champion of home rule, and the crowds attending the ceremonies showed very clearly that Ireland has not forgotten the services of Parnell in the cause so dear to the hearts of her sons and daughters. The procession of mourners through the streets of Dublin fur exceeded in number and in reverence that of last year upon the same occasion. The admirers of Parnell and the principles he represented took one and a half hours to pass the city hall.

M«ny Tributes.

The procession was headed by a black-draped wagon upon which were piled memorial wreaths sent from different parts of the country, as well as several from the United States, Canada and Australia. The independent Irish party of New York sent a handsome floral harp. It was 5 feet high, •IH feet across and the top was made of green and gold immortelles, enlivened by red flo .vers of the same kind. The strings were of red immortelles, and across them in white flowers were the words: Charles Stewart Parnell. Across the base of New York's tribute to the dead leader was the inscription: "In loving memorial from the Irish of New York."

Crowds Alonir the Streets.

The oflicials and corporations of the cities of Dublin and Cork attended the ceremonies in state. The streets along the route to the cemetery were packed with men and women and the neighborhood of Gla.ysnevin burial ground was crowded to the utmost. John Parnell, brother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, and Mrs. Dickinson, his sister, appeared in '.he parade in a carriage, accompanied by John Redmond, M. P., the Parnellite leader.

At the cemetery the wreaths were placed upon the grave of the beloved statesman. The procession then reformed and returned to the city, the streets being lined with thousands of persons, while every window along the route was filled with persons who displayed mourning emblems.

Worked to Lite Crowd.

A large committee representative of the National league and of Parnellites generally throughout the country has for the last month been meeting almost every night in the central ofllces of the National league for the purpose of arranging the details of the demonstration in memory of Parnell which was held Sunday. It was the intention of the committees to make the demonstration as far as possible indicative of the strength of the Parnellites' cause, not only in Dublin, but also in all those parts of the country where the principles of the late Irish ader are regarded with anything like general favor. With this object in view they entered into negotiations with the various railway companies with the result that fast special excursion trains were run to Dublin from all parts of Ireland at fares which are but from a half to one-third those usually charged. Many thousands availed themselves of these trains, aud the demonstration, so far as represention from the country is concerned, was much more successful than that of last year.

A BUSY WEEK.

Statesmen at Washington Have Much Work Ahead.

THE CRISIS AT HAND IN THE SENATE.

The Crucial Test to Come on Wedncsilay —Tlie House to Vote on Federal Kl.-c-Uon Laiv Repeal on Tuer.iitiy

The fieury l.aw Next.

WASHINGTON',

Oct. 0.—It is the com­

mon expectation that this—the tenth week of the extra session of congresswill mark an important epoch in the history of the congress. In both houses legislation of the first order of importance is pending,—in the senate the silver repeal bill and in the house the bill to repeal the federal election laws—and it is believed that in both cases the week will mark an advauce toward a conclusion.

The Test In tho Hennte*

Wednesday the crucial test is to be made—that is, if a sufficient number of senators respond by that date to Mr. Voorliees summons to insure the attendance of a quorum. In that case the effort will be made to bring the silver repeal bill to a final vote by sitting continuously, the purpose being to tire out theopponents of the bilL If the plans of the repealers arc successful the bill will probably come to a vote before the close of the week. Hut if the silver men succeed in the attempt to break a quorum and force an adjournment at any stage of the proceedings they are confident that the senate will be obliged to pass a compromise measure or allow the entire repeal proposition to fail.

The Tucker Bill.

As to the election bill, the democratic caucus called for to-night will decide whether the Tucker bill or the Fitch bill kest expresses the views of the democratic party on the subject and shall be passed. The Tucker bill provides for the repeal of section 2,002 of the revised statutes of the United States relating to the bringing of armed troops to the place of election, and of the various sections relating to the appointment, qualifications, powers, duties and compensation of supervisors of elections and also for the repeal of thesectionsrelatiugto the appointment, qualifications, powers, duties and compensation of speolal deputy marshals.

The Substitute.

The Fitch substitute is not so radical in its provisions. It amends sections 1,002 and 5,528 by striking out,wherever they occur in each section, the words "or to keep peacc at the polls," and repeal section 2,011 and all subsequent sections down to and including seotion 2,031 and sections 8,521 and 5,522, and all other acts and parts of acts which authorize the appointment of chief supervisors of elections, of supervisors of elections, and of deputy marshals of elections or of general deputy marshals charged with any duty respecting an election, and which prescribe their duties, provide for their compensation or make appropriations therefor, and impose fines or punishment for resisting their authority.

The title is amended so aa to read: "A bill to prohibit the military or naval forees of the United States from interfering with elections In the states and to repeal all laws which provide for the appointment of supervisors and deputy marshals of elections.

Lacey's Amendment.

An amendment pending is that offered by Mr. Lacey (rep., Ia.) early in the debate and which is somewhat similar to the Fitch amendment. It strikes from the Tucker bill so much as purports to repeal the statutes which provide for the punishment of oertain crimes against the ballot These statutes, Mr. Lacey states, are independent of the statutes In relation to supervisors and marshals. Mr. Lacey will demand a yea and nay vote on this amendment

To Tackle the Geary Law.

After the bill to repeal the federal eloction laws has been disposed of in the house, as under the pending order it will be on Tuesday, It is expected that the McCreary bill to amend and modify the Geary Chinese registration and restriction act will be given the right of way. When the bill was reported tho committee asked that two days be allotted to a discussion of the measure and that then a vote be taken on its passage. The committee on rules has not yet decided upon the terms of an order, inasmuch aa Repre' sentative Geary has expressed his desire for more time for the consideration of the subject. Representative Oates desires to bring up the bankruptcy bill reported to the house last week, but prefers postponing consideration until the 16th inst rather than to enter upon it at the close of the week. So it is probable that Mr. Geary will get an additional day for the Chinese bill, This would bring it to a vote on Friday and the house may then adjourn. But nothing definite has yet been determined upon any of these matters.

Biff Millinery Hoase Btiroed. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 0.—The wholesale millinery establishment of Rothschild A- Kahn, 175 and 177 East Fourth street, was burned at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The loss to the stock, which is almost wholly ruined, is about |40,000. The damage to the building was 15,000. Insurance on building and contents. $43,500.

ABSOWTELY PURE

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

A Southerner at Chicago Lavs Ills Head on the Rail Before nn Approaching Train aud CooUy Awaits Death.

CHICAGO, Oct 9.—A sensational suicide occurred Sunday morning on the railroad tracks at the font oi Monroe btreet. From papers found on tho suicide's body he is believed to be Henry Kershaw, formerly a journalist of New Orleans. Early Sunday morning the police at the foot of Monroe street saw a well dressed man standing near the railroad tracks. A long Michigan Central traiu was coming in and when the engine was within a few yards of where lie stood he ran forward a few steps and throwing himself upon the coal dust placed his neck across one of the rails. In au instant his head was severed from his body.

Letters found in the dead man's pockets indicated his identity. One letter written after he had determined to end his life in this manner refers vaguely to charges against him by certain lodges, to "conspiracy" and ''persecution" which caused him to take his life. The letter is signed "Henry Kershaw, of New Orleans." The letters gave evidence of being the product of a disordered brain. Kershaw was about 85 years old and native of New Orleans. lie was the publisher of a commercial bulletin about a year ago and atone time was partner in a large printing house. He left his wife and children some months ago and came to this city, ilere he became involved in a love affair which unbalanced his mind. One of his hallucinations was that he was being hounded by members of imaginary secret societies and that individuals were conspiring to kill him.

BERLIN, Oot 0.—Prince Bismarck did not arrive at Frlederichsruhe from Kisaingen until after 11 o'clock Saturday night His coming has been expected for some days, and in consequence the town was en fete and tho prince's home was at its brightest The house has undergone a thorough cleaning since the servants of the house were attacked by typhoid fever. A crowd surrounded, the railway station near Prince Bismarok's home when the invalid statesman reached there. The local authorities allowed only about sixty of the prince's personal friends to greet him on the platform. Among the latter was the manager of the Bismarok estate, to whom the aged prince gave his left hand with a pleased though fa nt smile, at the same time remarking that his right hand was still disabled. Prince Bismarck then asked if all were well at the castle aud said that he had borne his journey very well. Tho exchancellor walked firmly to the carriage which was in waiting for him and was driven to Frie.l.nchsruhe. The route to the. castle was lined with people, and in front of them stood firemen holding flaming torches above their heads and producing a most brilliant effect From all sides the prince was greeted with the most heartfelt enthusiasm mingled with great reverence

CAUGHT IN CHICAGO.

After a Year's Hunt AIhcoiicI'.uk Hauliers of Vermont, HI., Are Cii|ilureil. CHICAOO, Oct. 9.—After having lived a year in retirement, successfully eluding pursuit during that time, Henry Merslion, president, and E. J'. Ihirell. cashier of the Merslion & Co. Bank at Vermont Fulton county, 111., were arrested Saturday in Chicago. The bank failed a year ago, the depositors being

?-J00,0U0"

out of pocket by its closing. The flight of the president and cashier came so soon after the first hints of wrongdoing as to fasten suspicion on them. The Mershon &• Co. bank had long been considered the leading. bank of Vermont and the citizens in the town and the farmers for miles around had confidence in ils stability. It failed for »200,000. but it was at first thought it was an honorable assignment It developed later that some of the transactions had a queer look, and as the report spread the president and the cashier fled from the town. Jesse Bogue, the assignee, was in no way implicated in the trouble. Officers searched high and low for the missing men and descriptions of them were sent to the police headquarters at all the leading cities, but no trace of them could be found until they were recently located in Chicago.

GOT ABOUT SI00.000.

Forger De France Seems to Have Been an Expert In His Line. DETBOIT, Mich., Oct 9.—Stonewall J. De France, charged with getting 000 from Minneapolis banks on forged checks, will not be given up to the Minnesota officers. He will be arraigned here to-day on the charge of abduction as being one of the chief conspirators in the Perrien sensation. It is said the officers will be able to prove he was the instigator of the abduction of Perrien, the wealthy mill man, several years ago. From present advices De France is wanted in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indianapolis and Kalamazoo, and it is claimed that the total amount of money he raised by drafts and other devices will reach over 1100,000, and that amount may be doubled, as it is pro liable that a number of other cities have not been heard from.
