'but he means what he says and you had better look out.' "After that they did not breathe more th.m four times successively without asking permission." Action of the German Ambassador. WASHINGTON. April 21 The German ambassador. Dr. Von Hollebcn, called on Secretary Hay to-day, which led to reports that th3 attention of the State Department had ken called to the remarks of Captain Ccghlaa, of the cruiser Raleigh, at a New York banquet last night, re'ating his personal observations cf a rebuke and threat administered by Admiral Dewey to the German naval commanders at Manila. It was tatri positively, however, that no protest cr representations were made, as it is understood that in German quarters this is regarded as a matter in which the authorities here shouM.be lft to take the initiative. At the fame time it Is known that Coghlan's remarks caused considerable displeasure in hUh diplomatic and naval quarters, mainly because they are. contrary to the policy which the two governments have adopted cf giving 'ts little public expression as possible to the friction which may have occurred at Manila. In naval quarters there Is a disposition to regard Captain Coghlan's statements as giving some rather ugly Truths which heretofore have been glossed over on grounds of public policy. Tne reiponslble naval officials have, however, harel the policy of minimizing the frictions at Manila, hut in the present case, owing to Captain Coghlin's splendid services, they are not disposed to be captious in their criticism of his utterances.

The Governor add: "It does not seem to me wise that a franchise of this nature should be given in perpetuity. It would, of course, be best to nave it owned by the municipality, but it should be pointed out to the advocates of municipal ownership that it is doubly incumbent on them to take the most efficient means to rebuke municipal corruption, and of insisting on a high standard of continuous fidelity to duty among municipal employes. Only if the government or the municipality Is honest will It be possible ever to Justify fully the workings of municipal ownership. A Frnll ftlrl'n Lonff Hide. ST. LOUIS. April 22.

NEW MISSION SOCIETY

uev. dr. cnoncn C. LORIMER'S plax TO BK Til I III) IN AFRICA. Self-Sapportlni; illusion AVIll Be Planted In the Sudan Gnteiray The Presbyterian 3Ioderatorhlp. Special to the Inilanapolis Journal. NEW YORK. April 22.-A new mission society has been organized among Baptists. The Rev. Dr. George C. Lorimer, of Tremont Temple, Boston, Is one of Its organizers. It alms to put into foreign mission effort a new idea. That Idea Is that mission stations, after having been given three or four years to get started, must be selfsupportinff thereafter, and no longer call on churches In the United States to contribute to them. A reason why most of the foreign boards are behind this year, it is said, is because people grow tired of sunporting work that never seems likely to be able to support itself. The field secretary of the new society, the Rev. Charles S. Morris, a grandson-in-lav of Frederick Douglass, starts within a few weeks for upper Liberia. He takes a party of ten men with him. At this point, the gateway to the Sudan, a mission station Is to be planted. It is to be allowed $i,(M) a year for four years, and after that It must not only pay its own way, but start a new mission further inland. In the Sudan there are said to be 50,V)0 people who have never heard of the Bible. The new Baptist society In this country has set itself the task of reaching these millions, and it proposes to do so by the planting of these self-supporting mission stations. Part of the missionaries are to be preachers. The rest are to bo school teachers, carpenters, physicians, farmers, blacksmiths, etc The Industry Is to be that of raising coffee. It is said that a general desire exists on the part of many brlghf colored young men and women In our own South to go back to Liberia. Efforts are making now to raise money to buy two ships to sail between Savannah and Liberia, and provide cheap transportation. The new mission society hopes to be able to make use of the DO.OOO young Christian colored people in its Sudan self-supporting mission venture. a The moderatorship honor of the approaching Presbyterian General Assembly is narrowing down to three men. These three represent the extreme East, the middle West and the Pacific coast. Sentiment may enter into the contest. The Rev. Dr. R. F. Sample, now pastor of the Westminster Church, New York, was for nineteen years pastor of the Westminster Church, Minneapolis, the one in which the assembly sits. Ordinarily the extreme East would not be accorded the honor this year, but whfn the assembly goes to the Westminster Church, and the former pastor of it goes as a commissioner, there is a disposition to give the latter tho moderatorship. The man from the middle West Is the Rev. Dr. William McKlbbin, of Walnut Hills. Cincinnati. cation favors him. and so does the fact that the safe and conservative clement in the denomination thinks it may be worth while to emphasize the neces.-ity of announcing again the orthodoxy of Presbyterianism. If there should be much liberal talk between now and the opening of the assembly the Rev. Dr. McKlbbin would almost certainly bo the moderator. The third candidate is the Rev. Dr. Robert F. Coyle. of Oakland. If the Pacific coast pets the honor. Oakland First Church will furnish the man. Some other men are talked of. but only incidentally. Kach candidate is in the hands of hi friends, of course, since none work in behalf of themselves. Apart from the McGiffert matter the two thlncs of widest popular concern to be considered will be the membership of the assembly, and the election of a new secretary for the Foreign Board. The assembly is too large, but nothing more than a readjustment of the ratio, in order to make the body slightly fewer in numbers than at present, is likely to be done. Heretofore the beards have elected their own executive officers, but after the contest last year over the secretaryship of the Home Board the assembly passed a resolution compelling all boards to submit elections of salaried executives to it for approval. The Rev. Dr. A. W. Halsy. of the Spring-street Church. New York, has been chosen to succeed the late Rev. Dr. John Gillespie on the Foreign Board executive force, and his name will be the first to come before the assembly under Its new ruling. It is now said to be likely that the Foreign Board will report a small debt this year. Tne diamond anniversary of the American Sunday-school Union, to be held .next month, is arousing a great deal of interest. The influence of these interdenominational organizations, like the union, the American Tract Society, and the Young Men's Christian Associations, is increasing as sectarian lines disappear. All of the district superintendents are to take part in the celebration at Philadelphia, and the other speakers Include Rear Admiral John W. Philip. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, the Rev. Dr. W. It. King of SlU Louis, the Rev. Dr. E. K. Bell of Ohio. Bishop McVickar of Rhode Island, tha Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hlllis of Flymouth Church, and Dwipht L. Moody. Nearly four Sunday schools per day have been organized by the union for every day during the last seventy-live years, and more ara being organized this year than ever before. Missionary societies of all denominations are having a hard financial time of it. Some assign as a reason a lack of faith ir modern missionary methods and others assert there Is a falling off in faith all around. Still others believe that competition diverts gifts that used to go to the regular organizations. The Tresbytcrian Board of Home Missions, w'u.ch began the year with a debt of $167,000, has now reduced the same to 114,000 and hopes to go to the General Assembly clear. The foreign board of the snme denomination North is likely to end the year &.M behind, although it began tho year clear. The American baptist Missionary Union, the foreign societv of Haptists North, is .0,ucO behind, but the Home Mission Society comes out clear of tlr bt. The American board. Congregational, is behind last year, because of a falling off in legacies', a falling off that has been more marked than on any vear during the last twenty-five at least. Methodists are about holding their own. and Episcopalians, which make the rxwrtst showinc of anv. hj compared with amount spent for parochial support, are up to last year. Any one who 1cm ks candidly at the situation can hardly fall to see that the plan of having students who want to go to the foreign Melds appeal to individuals and to churches Is r.ot meting with succfps. It may work later on. It has been trWd now for four years, and during those years the home work, without such special appeil. holds its I own better than the foreign. There is a ' croumlswell of murmuring In all denomina tions over the repeated appeals and an irclination to examine more c'.osely Into missionary methods, especially those abroad. Some plans now maturing may not yet be mentioned, but it is said some plain facts may be related to the churches and the public at no very distant day. Episcopalians have decided upon founding two orphan homes in Cuba. A few miles out of the city of Santa Clara, on a tract of 5.") acres, there are vast buildings which formerly comprised an agricultural college, and In and around them are said to be agricultural Implements to the value of J2."k).000 or more. This great plant has been offered without cost for the purpose of caring for children of reconcentrados and of Cuban insurgents who lost their lives in the war. In a good part of Havana a house above one hundred feet square is offered for .- 0"( and an Episcopal Church woman has the nucleus of an orphanage. Funds are now raising to convert both of these places Into orphanages, to be under Protestant Episcopal direction. Methodists have already begun to make preparations for the third Ecumenical Conference of Methodists of the worl4. The first of these conferences was held In London in 1SS1, and the second In Washington In ld. The last General Conference, which met in Cleveland, authorized the Methodist bishops to make provision for the next one, which will be held In London In 1101. The reason the provision is made thuj early Is because Methodists of the world will undertake to show, at this opening of the new century, th power of world Methodism. An indirect outcome of these ecumenical conferences is the Methodist ama'gamation in Australia, and Methodists believe future conferences will help to unite American Methodism. P.lshop Hurst, of Washington. United States Senator Foralcer, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Hamilton, of Cincinnati, and D. H. Carroll.- of Baltimore, are members of tho committee.

making preparations for the American delegation to London and the gathering of statics of American Methodism. BRITISH FLEET REVIEWED.

Admiral Kavrnon Complimented by the Kins of Italy. SASSARI, Island of Sardinia, April 22.

All the war ships were illuminated in honor of their Majesties. The fleet hoisted the Italian royal ensign to-day, preparatory to being reviewed. The ships crews gave hearty cheers for the King and Queen and the guns salvoed royal salutes. The spectacle was a grand one. After the King and Queen of Italy, on board the Savoya, had reviewed the fleets, the ceremony taking place in Arancl bay, on the northeast coast of the island, they boarded the Britisn battle ship Majestic, the crews of the whole fleet cheering and each ship thundering forth a salute. A luncheon followed. Replying to a toast offered by Adm'ral Rawson. King Humbert said he recalled his previous visits to British fleets, forrring memories so grateful and flattering to himself and the Italian navy. He also spoke of the numerous instances of sympathy shown by "the British dynasty, nation and navy. It is," he continued, "these traditional memories of longstanding which explain how your wish to see the British and Italian Mags floating tide by side in the interest of peace is always met on our side with the same sentiments of deep and sincere friendship." After complimenting Admiral Rawson on his superb squadron. King Humbert concluded his remarks: "I drink to the health of the much-loved Queen of England, to the prosperity of the British nation and to the glory of Its navy." Their Majesties entertained at dinner on board the Savoya to-night the British ambassador to Italy, Sir Philip W. Currie, Admiral Rawson and the chief British naval officers.

A grand concert was given this evening at the Philharmonic In honor of the sixtieth anniversary of the debut of the violinist, Joseph Joachim, who, with 164 of his former and present pupils, took part in the entertainment. A sensation was created by an unrehearsed episode. Conductor Fritz Steinbach raised his baton and the orchestra began the opening of a Beethoven concerto which was not Included in the programme. Ilerr Joachim sat motionless. Marie Soldata, Gabrlelle Wietrowetz and Emily Skinner took the violin and bow to the master, who at first refused to play, but finally mounted the platform, and after a few words of apology began the concerto. An ovation beyond description was given to the violinist, and the whole concert was an unparalleled tribute to his popularity. Nearly every capital in Europe sent some of his old pupils to take part. A banquet was given to close the musical Jubilee. More Room for American Exhibits. PARIS, April 22. Ferdinand W.

AMERICAN STUDENTS LOST. International Chens Match Won by Cambridge and Oxford Players. NEW YORK, April 22. The first International chess match between American and British students, which was begun yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, ended to-night in a victory for the Oxford and Cambridge combination by 3' to 2'2 games, as will be seen from the amended table. Almost every man competent to judge expected to see a defeat of the American players. The play of the Americans on the whole was a great surprise to all the experts present during the match. With a little more care they could have even won, and thereby greatly upset the calculations of the initiated ones. As it was, they gave their British fellowstudents a good fight and every contest was won by the score given above. At the conclusion of the match the following messages were exchanged: From the American umpire. Lord Crawford, the following was received: "The cheers Just given for American universities. Have thanked cheerers for us." Umpire Rice replied: "The Anglo-Saxon victory has come as predicted and we are all hapny over it."

By subsequent fine play the latter forced the resignation of the Harvard man after forty moves. Cook, of Yale, played remarkably fine chess against the Oxonian Hulbert. This afternoon he won a piece and after fifty moves the game. The Princeton representative, Young, who really ought to have won his game against lillis. of Oxford, went all to pieces in the morning play and while wishing to save the loss of the exchange, he lost a whole piece and the game after thirty-seven moves. Catchings, of Harvard, had a hopeless case before him when he resumed play against the Cambridge man. Softlaw, this morning, the players being engaged on the sixth table.

The steamer City of Para, from Central American ports, brings details of an ocean tragedy. While the vessel ,was at Corinto an open boat containing the remains of nine men who perished months ago drifted ashore there. The bodies were horribly emaciated and the manner in which their limbs were contorted showed that they must have died in terrible agony. Not a drop of water and not a particle of food was in the boat. In December last Louis W. Maslen, of the El Triumfo Pier Company, three of the port officials and five boatmen went out to the mall company's steamer lying in the offing at El Triumfo. They boarded the mall boat and stayed until signs of an approaching storm warned them to return. The gale came up quickly and overtook the boat soon after it got away from the steamer. It was never seen again until it floated into Corinto harbor. Louis W. Maslen was the son of E. W. Maslen. deputy naval officer of this port. The names of the other victims are not given.

The political crisis Is over. In so far as there was any undercurrent of thought looking to the island's annexation to the United States as a solution, that also Is a thing of the past. Never in the history of constitutional institutions, it is said, has victory been more complete and satisfactory than that which Jamaica has achieved against Great Britain's attempt to annul its political constitution. When the legislative council adjourned in the forenoon of Friday, April 7, because the transaction of business was Impossible, the Island was thought to be as near rebellion as possible under Its conditions. That is to say, while there was no thought of the revolutionists sword, there was the terror of the rioters torch. In the colony's temper at the time almost anything was possible. Behind all there was the unuttered threat of appeal to the United States. Yesterday, however, brought a change. The real facts of the situation had been communicated to Mr. Chamberlain, British secretary of state for the colonies, by cable and when the Council resumed its sitting, with the possibility of a sensational dissolution and an appeal to the country looming large. Governor Hemming met it with an unconditional surrender. All he asked in return for this was a vote of credit to carry on the administration until the financial muddle could be arranged by the representatives. The victory is so complete that not a vestige cf discontent remains. The colonists feel assured thajt their rights as an integral part of the British empire are fully and freely recognized and no longer threatened with violation. Hence their loyalty has revived and even the latent possibility of an agitation for annexation of which so much has been made is removed. KIPLING WANTS DAMAGES.

The Idiot Proved His Theories and His Children Disproved Tbem. John Kendrick Bangs, in Home Companion. "If that were mine I'd put it out of the reach of my children," said the Bibliomaniac, pointing to a rare and valuable copy of Leech on one of the lower shelves of the Idiot's library. "You place Dryden on the top shelf where Tommy and Moilie cannot get at him. But this book, which is worth ten larger paper editions of Dryden, you keep below, where the chlldreirxran easily reach it. It's a wonder to me you've been able to keep It In its present superb condition." "I know children pretty well," said the Idiot " and I have observed that they are ambitious, and in a sense rebellious. They want to do what they cannot do. That is why, when mothers place jam on the top sheif of the pantry, the children always climb up to get it. If they would leave It on the dining room table, within easy reach, tho children would soon cease to regard It as a thing to be sought for. Make Jam a required article of diet and the little ones will soon cease to want it. So with that book. If I should put that out of Tommy's reach. Tommy would lie awake nights to plan his campaign to get it. Leaving it where it is he doesn't think about it, doesn't want it. is not forbidden to have it, and so it escapes his notice." "You have the right idea, the human idea," said Mr. Pedagog. and even the Bibliomaniac was inclined to agree. But just then Tommy happened in, with Moilie close after. The boy walked straight to the bookcase, and Moilie gathered up the large shears from the Idiot's table, and together they approached their father. "Pa," said Moilie. holding up the scissors, "can I borrow these?" "What for?" asked the Idiot. "We want to cut th pictures out o this," said Tommy, holding up the fifty-dollar Leech. After all. it is difficult to lay down a captIron rule as to how a private library shculd be constructed cr arranged, particularly when one's loyalty is divided between one's children and one's merely bookish treasures.

THE TYPEWRITER AGE. History of the Writing Maehine Since Its Introduction to London. London "Mail. It is only a little over ten years since the first typewriter was introduced in London. It found the quill pen and black sand firmly intrenched in many of the largest banking houses. Business houses that prided themselves on their antiquity shuddered at the very name of innovation. Candles v.ere, in many counting houses, the only IIluminant. Speaking tubes between clerks on various floors were regarded as "newfangled" devices not to be endured, and the iiame of the typewriter was unknown. Then there were not a dozen clerks. in London who could operate a writing machine. Men who admitted the value of the invention declared it impossible to secure expeditious operators. To overcome this some of the typewriting companies opened schools of instruction, and stenographers and clerks were taught the use of the typewriter free of charge. The schools ran day and night. The new industry opened a fresh field of employment, especially for girls, and as such was hailed with delight by thousands. Still, the work of introduction was slow. One company after another Invested thousands of pounds in opening London agencies, only to be finally forced to withdraw from the field. The standard companies persevered, and they are now reaping the harvest which each year grows larger. Sir P'rancis Jeane was one of the earliest advocates of the typewriter on the bench, rrd though Lord Brampton, as Mr. Justice Hawkins, is not known to have used a typewriter himself, he frequently called the attention of barristers to the advantage of plain and neatly-typed briefs. The publishing world quickly caught the fever. MSS. could be disposed of in half the time previously required, with less labor both to the editor and proofreader, and today no clever contributor to a paper or magazine would think of handicapping his MS. by omitting to have it typed. All of Mr. Rudyard Kipling's recent work has been done by a typewriter. Mr, Hall Caine. Mr. Anthony Hope, Mr. Robert Barr, Miss Marie Corell. Mr. Joseph Hatton, Mr. Jerome K. Jerome, Miss Edna Lyall, Mr. Conan Doyle are but a few of the hundreds of clever writers who adopted the new mode of preparing their "copy." Mr. W. S. Gilbert composes his tunesome verse to the accompaniment of the merry click of the machine. Mr. Gilbert Parker and Mr. Bret Harte write piays by the same method, and the Rev. Hugh Price Hughes is but one of a score of ministers who find the typewriter of great service. Scientific writers in the British Museum, the barristers of the Temple and the correspondence clerks of "the Old Lady In Threadneedle street" have fallen prey to the typewriter, to the eminent satisfaction of all. The barriers of officialdom having once been broken down, the typwriter has secured a foothold in almost every musty chamber of the government. There Is a typewriting and copying office in the Parliament buildings, where members may dictate their correspondence to nimble-fingered girls without leaving the building. This is entirely apart from the corps of reportonal and official writers there. That stronghold of tradition and ancient custom, the College of Arms, has succumbed to the now popular prejudice in favor of the writing machine. The lords of the admiralty direct the movements of her Majesty's ships and commanders by typed letters and telegramfc. The adjutant general of the army communicates with the sirdar in Egypt and the military commanders In the farthest outposts of the empire by the same intelligent and attractive means. Not only does the Home Office carry on its correspondence in the same way, and the India Office, too, but the very baboos." the professional writers of Calcutta and Bombay, have accepted the friendly aid of the typewriter In their ancient occupation. Machines are sent out from England with Hindustani and Bengali characters for this purpose. Slack as the metropolitan police officials are in the adoption of the telephone, they have long since awakened to the advantage of the typewriter over pen and ink. The royal courts of justice, the exchequer and audit departments, the public records department, the postoffice and scrlvenery departments all emriloy them, while innumerable banks, insurance houses, railway companies and business firms have discarded the pen for the new Invention. Nearly all the official documents now sent to the Queen are typewritten, and the official apartments at Windsor. Marlborough House and York House all contain the clever little machine. The Dukes of Sutherland and Westminster, the Marquis of Salisbury. Earls Dudley, Grey and Stanhope, Lord Charles Beresford. Lord Dufferin, Lord Penrhyn, th Countess of Aberdeen, the Countess of Bedford, the Countess of Warwick and the Baroness Burdett-Coutts are but a few of the many people of title throughout the kingdom who have found the typewriter a most useful aid in business transactions. Already from 40.OO0 to 50.000 typewriting machines are employed in London, and probably 0X000 more in the other cities of the kingdom. The prices of the machines are almost identical in America and England. Standard makes bring from 21 to 22 10 shillings. Expert operators receive from 2 10 shillings to 3 per week, while girls and hoys receive from IS shillings to Sa shillings a week. A. Thackeray Letter. New York Mail and Express. When Adelaide Ann Proctor dedicated a volume ot" poems to Thackeray, the author sent her the following letter, which Is taken from the thirteenth and last volume of the biographical edition of his works Just published by the Messrs. Harper. "Why," writes Thackeray, "are your verses so very, very gray and sad. I have been reading them this morning till the sky has got a crape over it. Other folks' prose I have heard has sometimes produced a like dismal effect, one man's especially. I mean, with whom I am pretty intimate, and who writes very glumly, though I believe he is Inwardly a cheerful, wine-bibbing, easy-going person, linking the wicked world pretty well in spite of all his grumbling. We can't help what we write, though; an unknown something works within us and make? us write so and so. I'm putting this case de me (as usual) and de te. I don't like to th'nk you half so sad as your verses. I like some of them very much indeed, especially the little tender bits. All the allusions to children arefull of sweet, natural compasslonateness; and you sit In your poems like a gray nun with three or four little prattlers nestling round your knee and smiling at you, and a thin hand laid upon the golden heads of one or two of them: and having smoothed them and petted them, and told them a little story, and given them a bonbon, the gray nun walks Into the gray twilight, taking up her own sad thoughts and leaving them parvulos silent and wistful. There goe? the Angelus. There they are. lighting up the chapel. Go home, little children, to your bread and butter and teas, and kneel at your bedside in crisp little nightgowns." A Buffalo Man Troubles. J. O'Donohue, who said he was a traveling salesman, from Buffalo. N. Y., comElalned to the police last night that he had een assaulted by "Deacon" Smith and "Jim" Ferriter and the tatter's brother-in-law, a man named Grovenbery. O'Donohue claimed the trouble took place at Ferrlters home, on North Noble street. The police, concluding there had been a general fight, arrested O'Donohue with the others. There will be a meeting of canvarsers and solicitors at 122 North, Pennsylvaiia street Wednesday evening.
