ts not Incorrect up to date. There are obscurities in his account cf me evolution of the universe which seem to conflict with uncertainties In science, but when the obscurity on both aides shall disappear wo may expect the apparent contacts to van"Mr. Ir.gersoll says that no miracle was ever performed, "but science Itself cannot account for the visible universe without a miracle. If. the sun had originally tilled all space and had been growing In heat by an eternal condensation of its gaseous substance the total amount thus Renerated would have been only 18,000,000 tlmea the amount it now radiates in a year. Astronomers believe that it has been radiating beat as rapidly during all this period. Con-Fequervily-the. sun . must have existed forever in order to have commenced its existence 18.0tt.UX yers ago. . This is not theology, tut mathematics. Science Is unable al to account. for the original advent of life. If, therefore, a miracle be unscientific, science Is the most unscientific system under the sun. ' Tt is ursred that the Christian scheme i-i unscientific because It is superstitious; that is. it rests on. faith. No less certainly doe. science rest on faith. Science raises the level of human knowledge by induction, and the very essence of induction is faith In the uniformity of nature and the continuity of its processes. Science writes the history of the universe by faith. It pursues its present processes by faith. It predicts the future by faith. If science can rest on faith without belnjr unscientific, the Christian scheme may safely rest on the same foundation. "Dut it is ursed. that tho Christian scheme Is not adapted to ila work. The proof of a working hypothesis is in- the way of its works. There 13 no demonstration like success . Wherever the Christian philosophy has had Its way nations and individuals have been lifted to a high plane of prosperity, and all this in spite of the horrors and Infamies practiced along -the highway of history in the name of Christianity, but by men who never knew its spirit. During the recent century when Western civilization has reached its climax the Gospel has commended itself more cogently to men of Intelligence than ever before, and during a century in which, by the prophecy of its enemies, it was to have been sleeping ih its grave, it has more than doubled the number of Its followers. Just how long it will take for Christianity to disappear if it continues to double its forces every century, let us leave to the mathematics of agnosticism." Dr. John closed hi3 address with a magnificent peroration on the destiny of the race and the Individual under the respective hypotheses of agnosticism and Christianity. UNITED 3IINE AVdliKEKS.

Unfavorable Report by National Sec retary Tatrlck Mcllryde. COLUMBUS, O.. April 14.In the report of Secretary-treasurer Patrick McBryde to the United Mine Workers of America, he eays the coal trade was better prior to 1830, when this association was formed, than it 13 now. The valuo of coal on board the cars at the mines for 18D0 was J110.420.S31, and for 1834 the value was ,7G8,35 less than in 1S0O, although the product was greater by T.oOO.SSO tons.. This condition, so detrimental to both miner and operator, was caused, he said, by the system of survival of the fittest. Prior to 1KK central Pennsylvania was represented In, the national mine workers. Now they are not here. The two Vir ginias and their cheap ccal had much to do with effecting the changed conditions. Formerly all their coal went to the Atlantic seafceard. To-day there Is mere We3t Vir ginia ccal in CnlcaKO than Ohio coal, though the former has to pass through Ohio enroute to Chicago. The financial con dition of the association shows a debt of about Sl.OCO. with about SI, COO on hand. Mr. McErydo "id he expected to see the debt or about ll.'JOO wiped out before the convention adjourned. Mr. McBryde and President Penna, in their respective reports touching the aim. culties they encountered in trying to get Pittsburg to agree to conditions favorable for increased mining- at better prices in Ohio, Indiana and I.linols, sought to show that they ought rot to be censured for failure. Conditions were against them. They had, they said, accomplished all that men could do under the circumstances. The convention will probably conclude its business to-morrow. There are no important questions to come before it and no contest of any consequence for efflces. President P. H. Penn, of Indiana, has no opposition for re-election, and W. C. Peirce, of Ohio, has no opposition for secretary-treasurer, to succeed Patrick McrBryde. who is not a candicate for re-election. The convention took a recess at 2 p. m. to-day to give the commit" tees a chance to work, but they have little to do. The scale question Is practically settled for the coming year by the Pittsburg agree ment. The recommendation of President Penna that the convention be held in Decem.?er will be probably adopted. This would give the miners a better opportunity to take conservative and intelligent action on the scale question, as all agreements date from jiay I each year. There are about eighty delegates, and nearly all of them are wear ing McKinley buttons. There was talk to night of a resolution to be introduced indors ing McKinley for President, but this will Biardly be done. A free silver resolution will be presented by the committee on resolutions. Cooks and Waitera' Alliance. CINCINNATI. April H.-The national con vention of the Alliance of Cooks and Walters devoted its time to-day to a complete change of constitution. The only officers elected heretofore were the secretary-treasurer and members or the executive board.

The official organ Is to be called the American Caterer, and it Is to be published monthly at the city hereafter to be se lected for the national headquarters. PIKE AT FAIRBURY.

Campbell, was fined J2a and costs in two cases for obstructing a public highway. Its section hands at Carthage and Krdghtstown. In two similar cases, were fined $1 and costs in each case. The trouble grew out of the street ' crossing dispute, which last Wednesday culminated in a difficulty which narrowly escaped having serious results. A force of men under Marshal Hill, of Carthage, in obedience to the order of the Town Council, proceeded to lay board crossings on First and Second streets, leading to the Rose Hill aldltlon. on which the town school stands. They were opposed by the section men, at the company's order. The boards were torn up as quickly as spiked down, and a warm time ensued at the railway crossings, the section men finally balk

ing the efforts to lay the crossings by backing some loaded coal cars over the crossing. The section men and agent were arrested and tried in 'Squire Benjamin's court, and the Justice withheld his decision until yesterday evening. The railway company will likely give bond and appeal to the Circuit Court. fclnce the trouble of last week the Town Board has won a complete victory so far as the crossings are concerned.

April 14,-Copies of the pro test mado beforo United States Consul Pearcy, at Colon, by Captain John, Hen dricks, of the American schooner1 George W. Whitford, which was seized by the Colombian gunboat Cordova, off Manzanlllo point, on March 31, were received 'In this city to-day and will be forwarded to the State Department. According to the sworn statement ma.de to the consul at Colon by Captain Hendricks, the schooner had complied with all the regulations of the port from which sho sailed, but. nevertheless. he avers that tho officer of the Cordova who boarded him threatened to sink his ship with the stars and stripes flying from the masthead unless she started to return to Colon in fifteen minutes. Leopold Schepp, a cocoanut dealer of this city, who owns the Whitford. says the trouble was caused by Spanish competitors for his trade who have political influence with the Colombian government. According to Mr. Schepp, his nstructions to his captains are to always comply with the laws of any port from which they sail, but he claims vessels nyng the Spanish.

Immigrants Orercrondlng the Ac commodations at Kills Island. WASHINGTON, April 14. Commissioner General Stump, of the Immigration Bureau, said to-day that notwithstanding the 'congested condition of affairs at Ellis Island, the aw prohibiting the landing of undesirable mmigrants would bo enforced to the letter and that. If found necessary to relieve the overcrowded accommodations at the island, the debarred immigrants would be imme diately sent aboard the vessel which brought them over. Dr. Senner, tho commissioner, was so Informed to-day and his request for authority to employ additional watchmen when needed was granted. Over 900 immi grants were accommodated at the island last night and over bOO the night before. It appears to be the opinion here that the great influx of Italians at this time is due in a large measure to their fear of being con scripted into the Italian army. TUB CZAIl'S CORONATION. Preparations Under Way at Moscow The Official Programme. London Standard. The structures already erected, or in course of erection, about the city are chiefily illumination screens, to be draped hereafter in rich stuffs; for an ornament by day. and lighted with tens or thousands or little lamps and candles to add a glory, to tho festival at night. Public monuments and buildings are being covered with a tracery of scantlings following the details of the architecture, and likewise destined to help to render clear objects unrecognizable in a blaze of splendor. The battlemented walls of the Kremlin, in their entire circumference, are already out lined witia Iron gaspipes carrying countless lets, or the more simple fittings for the fairy lights generally used for illuminations in Russia. The gardens around are heavy witn the smell of fresh-cut timber, from a number of elaborately designed screens and a multitude of posts carrying smaller patterns of geometric and fantastic cut, which look curious enough, springing up, as it were, like some strange crop from beneath two feet or pure, white snow. Inside the Kremlin the scene Is still more striking. Two sides of the inclosed square, where stand the Cathedral of ifie Assumption, the Archangellskly Cathedral and the other ancient churches, are masked by handeorae grandstands of solid appearance. The cathedral In which the actual coronation ceremony takes place has been freed from Its forest of scaffolding, and now stands out. after an extensive renovation, white and fresh as if Just from the mason s hands. In the lofty steeple of Ivan Velikiy, and from all the towers placed at Intervals along the Kremlin walls, workmen swing dizzily from enormous heights In tiny cages, engaged, in fixing piecemeal a wooden skeleton along the lines or the structures from base to summit. Copper cables -(unguarded) run on telegraph posts from point to point, and, if not exactly adding much to the picturesqueness of the view, at least serve, by their number and thickness, to aid the inexpert mind in form ing some conception or the extent or the electric Installation. The official programme of the festivities which arc to precede and follow the cere mony Is published to-day. About the mid dle of next month the imperial regalia and gut state carriages will be taken rrom tne winter palace to the Nicholas railway station, whence they will be conveyed by special train to Moscow.

PLOT OF DEMOCRATS.

Alleged Scheme to Capture the Presi dential Election. Washington Special In Chicago Post. Democratic leaders have matured a plan to capture tho presidency next fall by orgfjiizing a split at Chicago, putting two tickets in the field and then bringing the wo wings of the party together in the electoral college. The silver leaders have been scheming on he proposition for months, and very lately passed it along for the consideration of the managers of the sound-money element, by whom it has been received with open favor. The White House has been the scene of sev eral consultations on this most Important matter within the last four or five day. friends of 'sound money, not only in Con gress, but from many of the ranking finan cial and commercial centers, having respond ed to hasty summons to meet and discuss questions of supremo concern to the party weiiare. The result or all this raiaver is that a thorough understanding has been reached, and that Democratic hopes are higher at this writing than they have been n two years. The struggle for the control of the conven tion at Chicago Is to be kept up to the last. There will be no compromise on" suggestion of compromise on either fide. If the soundmoney element can control a sound-money ticket will be nominated on an uncompro mising sound-money platform. There will bo no pretense of a straddle or of a desire to placate the sllverltes. On the contrary, the ron will be driven into them and riveted on the other side. If the silver men prove to be strong enough to take charge of the conven tion and keep it they will adopt tho same tactics proposed in behalf of the other side. It will be a fight to a desperate finish. And then what? Why, a bolt by the losing faction, a rump convention and two Democratic tickets, one on a nound-money platform and the other on a sliver piatrorm. The ound-money ticket will be run to win In States where that sentiment Is supposed to control, and tho sil ver ticket in States where the masses are to be of the free-silver way of thinking. The tickets will not be brought into antagonism except in States that are overwhelmingly Republican and where the general result could not by any possibility be jeopardized by a friendly struggle for "points." The theory underlying this elaDorate and far-reactiins: preparation for party trumnh Is: 1. A growing conviction that it will be Impossible to reconcile the two wings of the party in the convention and that efforts In that d rectlon may as wen be aoanaonea first as last. 2. That the question must be fought out In the party. 3. That the only way it can be done without committing willful suicide will be by the plan suggested. 4. That the count will show beyond all ques tion of doubt how the Democratic masses stand, and that with the verdict thus registered the electors can consolidate their vote upon a ticket committed to an agreed policy. It is rurther urged in oenair oi tne pian as above outlined that Its adoption will give the Democrats a living show to control the Fiftyfifth Congress, as well as to elect a President and Vice President. The honor and glory of originating this scheme belong to benstors Harris, or Tennessee; uiacKDurn, oi jventuckv: Jones, of Arkansas: Turple. of Indi ana; Vest, of Missouri: ex-Speaker Crisp, of Georgia; Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, and several others of that Immediate group In Congress. The fact that Richardson and others who have been actively at work formulating the plan are now indicating a willingness to talk about it may be construed as meaning that matters are In such an advanced state that H is considered safe to Admit the nublic Into their confidence. As before state.!, the sound money leaders have taken kindly to the plan, and nave about made up their minds to adopt It as presenting the most tangible method of extrication from the troubles that now envelop the party, and, at the same time, involving a minimum of risk of disorganiza tion and demoralization. There is nothlne in the laws or the Consti tution, so the projectors of this double-headed olan of Democratic salvation assert, that can In the slightest degree interfere with its successful Issue. They claim the presidential electors would be perfectly free to vote for any man they might agree upon, even tnougn his name had not been before the people, the theory being that the electors are responsible only to the party they represent, and in no manner obligated to vote for the candidates who had been named on the ticket before the people If an emergency vital to the party should demand otherwise. In order that the readers of the Evening rost may be spared the necessity of looking up authorities on the subject, that article of the Constitution relating to the election of a President and Vice President is herewith presented, as having eminent importance in this connection. It is the Twelfth amendment, adopted In 1803, and reads as follows: "The electors shall meet in their respec tive States and vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant, of the same State with themselves: they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice President, end of the number of votes each, which lists they shall sign and certify and transmit sealed to the seat of government of the United States, directed to the president of the Senate; tho president of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Rep resentatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; the person having the irreatest number or votes for President shall "be President, if such num ber shall be a majority of a whole number of electors appointed; and If no person have such majority, then from the person having the hlphest numbers, not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosine the President the votes shall be taken by States, the rep resentation from each State having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall con sist of a member or .members from twothirds of the States, and a majority of all the States shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, the Vice President shall act as President. as in the c3so of death or other constitu tional disability of the President. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice President, If such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed, and If no person have a majority then from the two highest numbers on the list the Senate shall choose the Vice President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States." Many of the silver leaders of the Republican party are fully advised of the Democratic programme, and they are watching developments with the greatest interest. The arch-plotters among the Democrats fondly hope that the Republicans may be induced to pursue similar tactics. Others say it would be to the advantage of the Democrats if the Republicans were to carry their fight over the financial plank past the convention into the jeneral campaign in an unhealed state. THEY UCLIEVG IN SAXSEX. Russian nntl unvrRlan Experts on the Siberian Report. London Standard. At the last meeting of the Russian Geographical Society Baron Toll, the celebrated arctic explorer, read a letter he received from Professor Drogger, or unristiana. lu which the latter, speaking of Dr. Nansen, says: "Knowing Nansen's character as I do. I do not entertain any doubt as to the truth of the telegram concerning him. and can fullv account to myself for his present situ uation. I do not doubt but that he is at present on his return journey from the north role. "On taking leave of me at Tromsoe Nansen said: T reckon on being back in two or three years.Now, whoever knows Nansen has implicit faith in him. The obstacles presented in the Polar sea cannot exceel the difficulties afforded by ice floes off the east c ovist of Greenland or those present ed by the ice fields of that continent. On this occasion, moreover, Nansen is fully twenty times better equipped than he w.u on his previous expedition, and his companions have been especially selected for the task. Personally. I have no doubt but that these thirteen brave men were ab'.e, wltnln two and a half years, to work their way to the pole, and I am firmly pursuaded that thy are on their way back. "According" to the telegram Nansen dis covered land at the role, and tn me it !s perfectly clear that he found the return journey by way of the New Siberia islands the more suitable. The land in the neigh bcrhood of the north pole is no doubt cov ered, like Greenland, with a thick layer of permanent ice. in which case he would only be able to explore the region in snow shoes. Under thee circumstances he probably found ft preferable to return south to the New Siberia islands than to advance toward the west and southwest. I believe so firmly In Dr. Nansen and his cwcMn ions that I am convinced that the explorer reached the north pole according to his programme. "The news telegraphed could not have come from Dr. Nansn personally, even if hs had reached the New Siberia islands, be cause he would have been In no hurry to give news before he was assured that his achievement was complete, th safe return of the Franx to Norway bticj cf critii

Dr. Nansen honed to preserve the Fram for future expeditions. anl that Is the reason why. I do not expect further news of him until Ms return on board the Fram to Norway. That, as I sincerely hope will be next autumn. Baron Toll, after reading the letter, sail: We also believe in Dr. Nansen. and If he does not nrrive In the period Indicated by Prof. Brojfger there will still be time to send an axpedltlon to explore the New Siberia Islands, and, if possible, Sannikoft Land." AMUSEMENTS. Local Announcements. The music of 'Rice's "Little Christopher." which will be at the Grand to-morrow and Friday nights, is by Ivan Caryll and Gustavo Kerker. It is all bright and catchy.
