THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1891.

two or three were Italian subjects. I have the lionor to be, very respectfully. Francis T. Nic no ix. Governor. Tho news of the reported recall of the Italian minister was received in New Orleans this evening, promptly posted on the bulletin hoard and printed in the newspaper extras. The newspaper offices bad constant crowds during the evening, and the news was circulated from one end of the city to the other. It was at tint discredited, bnt when it was subsequently oniirmeo! there was mnch t.ilk touching the prooable or possible international complications and the likelihood of hostilities. The prevailing sentiment here, however, is tmchaned respecting the act of tho citizens in lynching the assessing. IOFS NOT FFAR ITALY'S XAVT. Mayor Shakespeare was seen this evening in the Council chamber, at the City Hall, the Council being in session. The press dispatches from Washington concernjig the termination of diplomatic relations between Italy and the United States were thown to him and read t?ith considerable ntcrest. He said, in answer to a question, ;hat he deemed it inadvisable to make an sxtended statement of his views at present. More than enough had'been said on the

nbject already. He thought that if the worst came to the worst the United States would be lully able to protect the people of this section from the attacks of th3 enemy, and if the government waited to allcrd the necessary protection, then the eoplo would themselves prepare for defense. Personally he apprehended no serious trouble, and felt certain that the Italian ships of war could not possibly approach near enough to New Orieaus to inUict injury noon her. The Mayor complained bitterly that special correspondents who had been sent Here to interview jim bad misrepresented him grossly, and ;Ho declined to say anything farther. M. Corte, the Italian consul, who was seen by a reporter this evening, says he has received no information whatever from his minister at Washington that would indicate so serious a breach between Italy and the United States government as intimated in the dispatches in the papera'thia afternoon. It is believed that if - Baron Fava bad actually demanded his pass port nfrom the government at Washington he Corte v ould have been officially advised of it by this time, as such action would affect every Italian consulate in tho United States, as well as the minister and his immediate staff at Washington. He. evidently questions the correctness of the story that the Italian minister baa demanded his passports. COMMENT OF THE TIMES-DEMOCRAT. The Times-Democrat to-morrow will say: ""That there is no reason for this action goes without Baying, especially here in New Orleans, where the full facts of this :a3o are known. Italy and' the United States are. and should continue to be, on the best of terms. Thero has lever been the slightest unpleasantnesa between the two countries. The American peoDle unanimously sympathized vith the movement which reunited Italy andr its present kingdom, and have ever lince entertained the warmest friendship for it. To break this friendship over an allair like that at the parish prison is incredible. There was no international or diplomatio issue involved. There was no question of any unfriendliness to Italy or to the Italians. Eleven brigands and assassins were executed, of whom mno were American citizens and two are said to bo subjects of the King of Italy. As has frequently , been said, it wonld not have made tbe slightest diilerence had these latter two been Kuseians or any other nationality, for the race question did not enter into the matter in the slightest degree. The people of New Orieaus rose to suppress an association of assassins, and it did not make the slightest difference to them to what race or nationality tho murderers belonged. As for the reported reprisal on Americans traveling in Itnlj, it is a game which both countries can play at. and there are twenty Italians in this country for every American in Italy." m COMMKNT FIIOSI OTXIEIt QUARTERS. San Francico's Italian Consul Discredits , home of the Ramon. Sax Francisco, March 8L The news from Washington this afternoon caused great surprise in this city, and the majority of Italian residents discredited it, or, in other words, they thought it a canard started abroad for speculative purpose. It has been tho general feoling throughout tho Italian colony here that both governments would arrange a peaceable settlement, and that no decisive action would be taken until the New Orleans grand jury, which is at present investigating the affair, had reported. One of the first to be informed of the news was Francisco Lambertinghi, the Italian consul. He, however, had received no official announcement of the withdrawal of the Italian minister at Washington, and this fact alone was sufficient to convince him that there was no truth in the report. 1'. A. Morbio. editor of LTtalia, shared the oDinion of the Italian consul. Said he: I do not hesitate in pronouncing the whole story a lie. Of course we do not Know what cablegram Baron Fava, the minister at Washington, has received, but we know this much, that everything to date has led us tobilievo that the while matter would end in an amicable settlement. As for tbe arrest of eighteen Americans in Home, why that is the most ridiculous part of the story. I am speaking, of course, from my experience in Italy as a lawyer. In onr country we have laws and a constitution like those of America. The arrest of Americans in Koine would be nothing more than a reprisal, end a reprisal in all civilized countries is allowed only in time of war." The Post this evening, commenting on the news from Washington, says: "Italy is bent on insult, and there is but one thing to do in return tight." The bulletin eays: "Popular temper will cot brook any paltering with tho issue that has been raised." Would Return to Italy In Case of War. Chicago, March SI. Prominent Italians in this city were to-night very incredulous over the lint reports from Washington about Baron Fava's recall to Italy. The news came so unexpectedly that the first impression was that it was a canard. Oscar Durante, editor of IItalia, said: T do cot believe that the Italian government has recalled Baron Fava with any hostile intent, nor that any Amencans have been seized aa hostages in Italy. Nor do I believe that there is any danger of war be tween Italy and the United States. 1 thinlc Italy could make it very warm for the United States for a few months, but the resources of this country are so much greater that the result could only be favorable to the American Nation. As to whit the Italian citizens here would do in case of war I can not say. 1 am an American citizen; I would not be willing to take up arms against my native country, nor would I fight against my adopted one. If Baron Fava is recalled, however, and the Italian government is making demands for more active movement to make reparation for the New Orleans massacre it is only what might have been expected alter the feeble letter of Governor Nicnolls. We have claimed all the time that that unsatisfactory letter wonld serve to cause a demand on the American government for greater haste.'' Lieutenant Almagia, of the Italian army, is on the start of L'ltalia, He expressed the opinion that no trouble would arise betwdf n the nations, nor did he believe the hontage story. He is confident that tbe artair will be settled without any appeal to Dr. Castillo Volini said: "If there is to b uny trouble 1 must go back to Italy, as I still bold mv commission as a surgeon in the Italian army. In case of a war I think most of the Italians in tbn United states would return to Italy. Those who are naturalized will, 1 believe, be true to their rnothe country, liowevt r, I do not expect any war." New York's Italian Oran. New Yohjc. March 21. The Italian paper, II Progresso ltalo Americano, nublished in this city, referring to the recall of Minister Fava, f;ays: "It is certhinly one of tbe most wcrious and solemn steps which could have been taken by the government in the present circumstances against America, hich Las for so many years been a friendly cation. Yttwedo&Qt wonder at tho ac

tion, for it is but the natural consequence of the opDrobrions manner in which the State of Louisiana answered Secretary Blaine: of the weakness of the supreme federal authority in the face of the arroiraut bearing of Governor Nicbolls; of the infamous, incredible impunity accorded to tho lynchers and the instigators of the lyiiching.following Italy's demand for satisfaction. Tho massacre of the eleven Italians at New Orleans took place March 14; it is now the 1st of April, and surely in sixteen days something could have been done by the federal government, something more serions. more eflicacious. a mere act pf courtesy to prove and to show that tbe treaties of friendship and protection between Italy and America were not child's play, and that their solemn obligations, Bigned and sworn to tipon paper, should be respected and maintained, both in fact and, if occasion require, by force." Decrying and denouncing the lynching in a very lengthy article. II Progresso concludes: "Italy has done its duty, and the colony has cordially approved and we hope and believe that it has measured and weighed all the conseqnences of the act which, whether we will or not. is an opon rupture of the diplomatic relations between Italy and America and the first step towards on armed demonstration."

An Outspoken Consul. 8t. Louis, Mo., March 31. Mr. Domincio Ginocchio, tho Italian consni. was seen this afternoon and asked his opinion of the re call of Baron Fava to Italy and Its probable ontcome. "I do not think this country and Italy will ever come to blows," he said. "The relations between thom have been friendly so long and each has so much to gain from the other, if on good terms, that on that account alone I think we are safe in saying war will never be declared. Directly after the massacre at New Orleans some of the resident Italians asked me what I was going to do and what was to be done by them. I said 'keep quiet,' and told them that the government of the United States was not responsible lor the actions of a mob. A mob is like a runaway horse nothing short of a mountain will stop it until it is tired out. When it Bets tired it will-stop of its own accord. Tbe authorities in Italy understand this as well as vou, and 1 do not look upon the recall of fiaron Fava as a declaration of hostile intentions." Well, Mr. Ginocchio, if the Italian government should order yonr return, in the event of war, would you got" "I most decidedly would not. I would resign my consular position. During the past twelve years I have held the St. Louis consulate, but I love the city much better than the position." ' A Hasty Proceed! nr. Philadelphia, Pa., March SI. The Rec ord to-morrow will say editorially: "Unless the Italian government has information not yet in possession of the State authority in Louisiana, and means of anticipating the action of the courts, the withdrawal of Baron Fava would seem to be a hasty proceeding. The United States will not shirk any due responsibility incurred through the outbreak at New Or leans but the tender of reparation. or the refusal of it will not be hastened an instant by the threatening attitude as sumed by Italy should the report of Baron Fava's action prove true." The North American will say: "A rupture of diplomatic relations by Italy does not indicate anything serious, and it is not at all unlikely that the recall of the Baron, who is a survival of the Crispi government. is made to enable Rudinito manage foreign anairs through men selected by himself." J A Bluff That Can Be Answered. Baltimore, Md March 81. The Herald says: "The recall of the Italian minister from his post at Washington is a genuine surprise. It is too early to foresee the result of this inconsiderate action on the part of Italy, but it is safe to assumo that the event of war is remote. The authori ties at Home show themselves strangely ignorant of American institutions in the recall of their representative before the completion of the legal proceedings now under way in New Orleans." The German correspondent says: "Italy's action is hasty and premature, because an investigation of the New Orieaus massacre is pending and no satisfaction has as yet been denied. If this hasty step of Italy has one consequence it will be to make it harder to get an ample indemnification, be cause such a bum can only be auswered with the old well-known phrase, "millions for defense but not a cent for tribute.7' Fava Not Radical Enough. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 81. Dr. Nardys said this evening: "Baron Fava has been recalled because he was not aggressive enough in following instructions demand ing the punishment of the New Orleans mob leaders, and his place will be filled by a more radical representative.7' Nnrayz laughed at tbe talk of war. A special from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says: Much uneasiness is felt among the Italians of llazleton just now on account of a dif ference of opinion as to later developments in the New Orleans tragedy. Two factions have formed, and a decidedly bitter feeling engendered. In fact, it has gone so far as to bring on a war between them. which to-day terminated in murder. During a heated quarrel Antonio Morein was struck on tbe bead with a club and killed, and both factions are wild. Rome Is Silent on the Subject. London, April 1. None of the special dispatches from Rome have a word about .he matter. The Daily News is the only paper of this city which contains any com ments, this morning, of the recall of Baron Fava. the Italian minister at Washington. The News thinks that the authorities of Louisiana cannot bring the lynchers of the Italian prisoners to trial. and that therefore the dead-lock between tbe United States and Italy will contmne unless the latter, country abates its demand for satisfaction for the killing oi its subjects. Will Hurt the World's FUr. CniCAGo, March SI. Director W. T. Baker, chairman of tho foreign affairs com mittee of the world's fair, was much con cerned over the recall of Baron Fava, Italian minister at Washington. "It will seriously interfere with the success of the exposition," said he. We should regret the absence of Italian exhibits very much, and Italy's withdrawal would handicap us m our work anions other Euronean nations. I sincerely hope the trouble is only tem porary, and that a settlement will be reached which will enable Italy to take part in the exposition." Nothing to Redress. New York, March 31. The Times says: "The Italians in New Orleans were not slaughtered because they were Italians, but because they were, like pirates, enemies of the hu man race, whom, through their own cor ruptions, tho laws of the country had ianea to punish. Whatever mav be the views and whatever the action of the Italian government, Mr. Blaine andlthe administration may feel perfectly well assured that tho neonle of the United States will support them in resisting a claim for damages, uud to any extent." Kditor Daua's Crisp Views. New Yokk, 'April 1. The Sun says: "Of course there is not going to be war. Italy cannot very well go to war for the pur pose of making the United Statea alter its Constitution. There is no rupt ure, only a little strain. No citizen of the of United States is hostile to Italy or Italinua. iuo3iaua is a scounureny institution. The United State rannot numsh a New Orleans mob anv more than it can punish a New Orleans policeman for prigging a banana from a fruit-stand." Unwarranted and Extraordinary. New Youk. March 31.-The Herald will say: "Viewed from any point the action of the Italian goverumentisasunwarranted as it is hasty and extraordinary. It looks as if tbe King or his premier were in a dudgeon, or, as has been hinted, the move was designed merely for boine political buncombe. By tho United States it ifl

hardly to be regarded as courteous, and might possibly be construed into an aflront.

ITALIANS RELEASED. Alleged Participants in the Hennessy Assas sination Admitted to IlalL New Orleans, March 31. Shortly after Judge Baker ascended the bench to-day Mr. Lionel Adams addressed the court and moved that Salvadore Sunzeri, John Caruso, Charles Pietzo. Charles Paterno and Pete-x Natali. the remaining prisoners confined in the parish prison for complicity in the Hennessy assassination, be released on bond. Tbe district attorney having no objections. Judge Baker granted the mo tion, and tho bail for each, except Natali, was fixed at $2,500t Natali was released on. his own recognizance of 8100 bond. With the exception of Natali the prisoners were charged with being accessory to tbe assassination, or beiug among those who, with Macheca. Romero, Jim Caruso. (ierachi and Matranga. planned the deed. Natali was accused as a principal. but in tho trial fullv nroved an alibi. Macheca, Romero, Jim Caruso and Geraehi were among those slain on tbe evenv.ui March 14. Matrangi and Incardona were acquitted by order of the court, and the boy Aspern Marchesi was released, as the evidence against him was not of asutlicient character to hold him. The release of the remaining men to-day leaves the pariah prison free of all but one of those Italians who had been arrested for the crime, im mediately after the motion had been granted ex-Alderman I'aterno signea me bonds for his brother and Caruso. V. Mascan, who resides on irencumen anu. nomu streets, and who keeps a vegetable market, signed Snnzeri's. Natali signed his own bond, and Pietzo. who appearea to oe friendless, is still in jail.

Tbe fate o ' the i-rit sh officers who were in command of the G' oirkas and of CMef Commissioner James W. Quiuton, who was conducting the neg tia:ins at the durbar for tho airer of a prominent chief who had bcea instrumental in deposing the Rajah of Manipnr, is bt 11 uncertain, but the Viceroy of liidii, the Marquis of Line d:wne, believes that all theo crMaud ofliciaishive e tuer met death at the bands of tho iv!e:lious tribesmen of Assam or thatt!v arebi-H as prisoners.' In arid ii )ii t the d'aster at Manipnr, it is believ d that a foice of British troops, composed ol a deiaohment oi two hundred soldiers of the 1 engal infrntry and about eighty Goo-knag wt-te marching from Shilling to Manipur in order to reinforce the Forty-second and Forty-fouth regiments of Goorkha light infantry, which composed the escort of Chief Commissioner Quinton, hare also been at tacked and have shared the fate of their comrades at Manipnr. The lien gal infantry detachment and eighty Goorkhas, it appears, were set upon by the Assamese, as the native troops referred to were passing through a diilicult and dangerous pass, and though they fonghtgallantly against heavy odds the rebel tribesmen, from the advantageous positions which they occupied on the sides of passes ahead and behind the British force, poured such a destructive tire into the ranks of the Bengalese and Goorkhas that the latter are said to have been killed to a man. The Viceroy is hurrying troops into the province of Assam in order to punish the hostiles. Keinforccments of troops are also being sent into stateM located in proximity to Assam in order to prevent any possible disorder or war-like outbreak, which it is thought might follow the spreading of tho news of the massacre of the British troops at Manipur. Further particulars received from' the scene of the Manipur massacre show that the insurgent tribes have captured a number of prisoners, including the Rajah of Manipur, whose deposition by a powerful chieftain of Assam was the cause of all the present trouble. The insurgents have also captured Chief Commissioner Quinton. Mr. F. St C. Grimwood. the British political agent at Manipnr, and Colonel Skene, who was in command of tho detachments from the Forty-second aud Forty-fourth Goorkhas, which defended tho camp of the commissioner pitched between Kohima and Manipur. Mrs. Grimwood, the wife of the political agont, two assistant commissioners and one of the ofticers of the Goorkhas escaped in tho direction of Silehar when the insurgents made their final charge npon the camp and broke through the rankH of the Goorkhas, owing to the latter b iving exhausted their supply of ammunition during the forty-eight hours' fighting which followed tbe midnight assault upon their camp. The tate of tho remaining oilicers is still unkuowu. Fonr regiments have already started for Manipur, with the object of effecting the release of the prisoners and punishing the rebellious tribes. Those regiments include two native regiments which were in the f arrison at Assam and the Third Bengal nfantry. Several mountain batteries of artillery and a force of cavalry are also being prepared to take the field in Assam immediately.. The general opinion seems to be that tbe military anthorities will have to punish the insurgent tribes severely and promptly in order, to f.vert a more serious revolt, which miiiht -follow any hesitancy or display of weakness npon the part of the British oflicials. The seat of the government of Assam is at Shillong, which has a population of about two thousand only. The population of the province of Assam, however, is estimated at live millions. The hostile tribes are composed of well-armed, brave and cunning righting men, and are liable to give the British forces considerable trouble before the revolt in Assam is entirely ended. Fifteen futritive Goorkhas. who have reached Kohima. report that Mr. and Mrs. Grimwood, Colonel Skene and Mr. Simpson escaped into Cachar, where the natives are becoming restless. The party included twelve Europeans. It is surmised that Mr. Quinton was seized at Mr. Grimwood's house, which was four miles distant from the cantonment of the main Goorkha guard at Langthabat, and that ten thousand irregular Kuki levies, in the service of the ManiDur government, were ordered to attack, and massacre tbe troops.

Clergymen Take a Hand In the Clitheroe Case. London, March 31. A committee, hoaded by Bishop Roberts, is circulating an appeal for funds in order to carry the Clitheroe case to the House of Lords. The committee's appeal asserts that it is to the interest of religion and morality that this final appeal should be made. The Clitheroe case, it will be remembered, consisted in the abduction by her own husband of a Mrs. Jackson, a wealthy lady, whose relatives had persuaded her not to live with her husband. The Court of Appeals recently decided that the husband could not compel his wife to live with him and ordered her to be allowed to choose her own residence. The contention of counsel for the husband was that a husband was virtually the owner of his wife, and that, therefore, he was justified in abducting her and in compelling her to reside with him.

What has been said about causes of -"npensin makes it easy to understand nature ox tue remeuies required, it is i.-c-A P L. ft Jl essarv to go back of the phenomena which lie on tbe surface to underlying causes. Things which are not seen are of more im portance than things which are seen. I have said that the two chief causes of pauperism are heredity and environment, and the question arises, how change these for the better! fortunately, the more powerful is environment, and that is the more easily controlled. The remedy is to break np these pauper and criminal bands, and at the earliest age tovremovo tho children from their poisonous atmospheres Wher ever an attempt has been made to im prove the children of the lowest classes by placing them in wholesome en vironment the results have been eminently satisfactory. Not all, but a large majority grow up to be independent, selt-respcct-ing and respected citizens. I.essmuy be done for the adults who have once become thoroughly identified with the "lost and lapsed classes. " but even for most of these much can be accomplished by bringing wholesome inuuences to bear. Ihe class regarded as most hopeless of all is that of fallen women, but the Salvation Army's "inm oisternooa," consisting or young women of character whogoamongthe most degraded, have secured success even among these, ihe secret is to go among these peo pie of the submerged tenth as Christ went among men. sharing their sorrows, and helping them with the personal contact of superior natures.

Here are some facts that prospective visitors to Europe this summer will tind it handy to cut out and treasure up for the time at sea when they want to appear well booked as old tourists on matters of trans atlantic travel. The first bteamship that crossed the Atlantic was the Savannah, in 1819, in twenty-live nays, and tbe first regular line established was the British and American Koyal Mail aud Steam-packet Company, in 1810. A knot is G,0b0 feet long. The distance fromlSewiork to Liverpool is 3.(X nanti cal miles by tbe northern track aud 3.1C9 milos by the southern track, irom Liver pool to New York the distances are re spectively 3.030 and 3,100 miles. In cati mating records the points taken on either side are Sandy Hook and Daunt s J cock. Queenstown harbor. The first light sighted on tho British coast is tbe Bull. Cow and Calf. Ire land, ' and on the American coast cither Nantucket or Fire Island. The larg est passenger steamship in commission is the City of Paris. 10.440 tons displacement. and the nteamship carrying the largest number of cabin passengers is the Ltruna, 550. The longest steamship is the Teutonic, 565 feet. The greatest day's ruu record is 515 miles. A big steamship burns about S00 tons of coal a day, and the average expense of a voyago to Liverpool and return, is 75,000 for such a vessel. A first-class steamship of one of the great lines costs nearly 3,000,000. i IVlilitllnff Her W'mj Into a IIretn. New York Recorder. Mrs. Alice Shaw, who whittled her way into the hearts of the "Four Hundred" in New York and whose social and financial success is said to have been ouite as pro nounced in London as it was here, is to go to Constantinople and give a series of entertainments there. She will give a special performance before the Sultan and his harem, and it will doubtless be a revelation to the followers of the Prophet. If the members of his Majesty's somewhat numerous household should catch the infection which Mrs. Shaw's performances spread abroad in this citv and undertake to organize whistling clubs, that august ruler will wish that his love for musio had not led him to iutroduce into the bosom of bis family tbe bewitching unbeliever from tho Western world.

The lilchea svud Luxury to He Seen In Ilia) Chief Cities of China. London Saturday Review. ' It is told-of Confucius that on one occasion, bavins remarked to the driver of his carriage on the density of tbe population, the charioteer inquired: "Since tho people are thus numerous, what must be doue for them!" . "Enrich them," replied tbe master. In these two words Confucius expressed the leadingdesire of ninety-nine out of every hundred Chinamen. With a parental re gard for the well-being of their subjects, and a keen desire for their own security, the sovereigns of China have always striven to keep the people contented by enriching them. And iu this amiable ambition they have been most cordially second ed by the people themselves, who have, through all their history, shown a craving for wealth which they have been by co means unsuccessful in satisfying. No one of their many deities lias ever received such uudeviating attention as the god of wealth, who, with round cheeks and amplo proportions, smiles in every temple on his worshipers; and certainly rone of their deities has been so propitious toitsvotar.ies. ' The wealth of tbe cities of China was a marvel to medieval travelers. Marco Polo was uevcr tird of expatiating on the "noble cities," "the rich marts," and tho crowded waterways of tbe empire, and even at the present day the traveler accustomed to the riches di. played in the streets of London or of 1'aris is struck with amazenieiit at the evidences of luxury and profu. sion to be met with in the thoroughfares and private residences of such cities as HangChow, Canton, nnd other great trading centers. To people imbued with so preat a desire to accumulate wealth their own frontier mnst have neceasarily seemed too narrow for their enterprise, and thus wo nnd that even at an early period of their history they exchanged goods and bartered products with every nation in Asia which had anything to give in return ft r tbe eilk stutls and porcelain of Cathay. Dr. Hirth describes the extent and nature of the foreign commerce of ancient and mediieval China, and points out. with truth, that the object of tbe expeditions undertaken by the Chinese into, central aud western Asia during the first centuries of our era was not conquest, but to Und the best markets for their goods. We know also that their merchandi.e was sold in tho shops of ancient Home, and that the products of the looms of 5oo-Chow were paid for by the Roman ladies with an equal weight of gold. Their porcelain beems to have found its chief admirers iu Persia, where it was eagerly secured and carefully prized in the bouses of the rich and great. With thesincerest flattery tbe Persians tried to imitate the ware, aud purtially succeeded, though they never were quite able so far to denationalize their ideas of art as to reproduce faithfully Chinese designs. Method liU In New York. Correspondence Philadelphia Press. While the Methodists always celebrate Easter, yet there is no doubt that denomination, at least in New York citv. is suffering from what one of its clergymen called "the dry-rot of formula, and from chnrch politics," and the predominance which the Methodist Hook Concern has attained in the mauagementof the church policy. - ' This condition has awakenrd the sincerest concern on the part of some pious Methodists. Their congregations are falling away; the vigor and splendid energy, rnde and uncultured though it may have been at times, which ueedtocharacterize the chnrch work here seems to have departed. Meanwhile, strangely enough, perhaps, tho Kpiscopal Church in New York is takini up the'work which the Methodist Church used to undertake, and in some respects is the only denomination which appears to bo reaching down for the masfce. It is certainly tiourishiug. growing with a rapidity which it has neve; be tore eipc-s ienced. A hundred years go Charles Wi-& ley aud his brother John, in protest of tho dry-rot which characterized the Kuglisu, Church, dissented aud organized the ms niticent influence which the Methodist Church has un to recent time gexerted. Is it possible that the condition? aio to bo reversed, and that here tho 'LdIscop&I Church is to do precisely what tho Methodists under Wesley did!
