An Oration at All Point on the Way to llli Ilo hood Heme Welcomed "by Ttto llrother. MONTPELIER, Vt.. Oct. 11. Admiral Dewey arrived here from Shelburne on a special train at 5:25 o'clock this evening and was greeted by an immense crowd, which had assembled at the depot. The admiral was met by his two brothers, Edward and "William. A3 he walked through the streets of the city Just at dusk, in company with his brothers, he bowed right and left and waved his hands to his old friends as he recognized them. To-night rain has been falling and has dampened the ardor of the people to a great extent. Admiral Pewey will not be the guest of his brother over night, as he elected to remain in his sleeping car. He has had one of the quietest days since he left the Olympla. He enjoyed a pleasant n!ghfs rest at the Shelburne farms, took an early morning walk, and then, after breakfast, in company with other? in. his party, he was driven for miles over the great estates of his host. Dr. W. Beward Webb. On returning to the house early In the afternoon lunch was served and then the departure was taken for Montpelier, where the admiral once more resumed his place in the public attention as guest Of the capital city of the State. The special train bearing the admiral. Dr. Webb and party, which was quite a large one. left Shelburne station a few minutes after 3 o'clock. The train consisted of a palace car, a sleeper, dining car and buffet combination. Just before starting. .Dr. Webb's groom led Into the baggage section of the accommodation car a pair of hdrses which will draw Admiral Dewey, Governor Bmlth and Mayor Senter, of Montpelier, in the parade to-morrow. Dr. Webb will also provide the carriage of state. The members of the party were, with one or two exceptions, the same guests as have been entertained at the Shelburne House. The departure from Shelburne was quiet. The run to Burlington was made In fourteen minutes and along the road were knots of cheering people. The train drew into Burlington station, where a crowd had assembled, each person carrying a flag. The crowd closed in around the admiral's car and although the latter did not come out of the vestibule, they, nevertheless, saw a pleasant Incident in the meeting of Gen. O. O. Howard and Admiral Dewey. The stay in Burlington was less than ten minutes and then the run was made to Wlnooskl. where the car' stopped between lines of school children, each with a flag in hand, drawn up on a steep bank beside the tracks, so that they were about even with the" car windows. The admiral waved his hand and the children cheered and sang. The next stop was made at Essex Junction, where a Grand Army post and a band playing patriotic airs were in waiting. An admiral's salute was fired, and as cheer after cheer arose the admiral stood on the platform, bowed and smiled. The train then pulled to Wllllston station. wher Admiral Dewey, Mr. Callaway and Dr. Webb went Into the engine, the admiral's flag being transferred to that portion of the train. The party remained in the cab during a run of thirty miles, the admiral alighting at Montpelier Junction and returning to his coach. . At stations along the lino the admiral was cheered. People came out of their farmhouses and waved flags. The train backed up from the Junction Into Montpelier so that the admiral was the first person to be seen In the train as he sat In the vestibule, gazing out upon familiar cenes. A great shout went up and when the train stopped the people pressed forward to the cars. There arose a cry of 'Speech, peecV but the admiral shook his head and aid: "I can't talk, and turning to his brother Edward, said: 'You make a few remarks." The admiral and brothers walked across the platform. Ignoring the carriage in waiting, and continued to the main street a short distance away. The admiral had a smile on hi face which reflected hLs Joy at reaching his boyhood home. He walked to the home of Edward Dewey, stopping to greet an old whoolmate. who extended him a welcome. Then the three brothers went Into Edward Dewey's hou?e. the front door being closed to the crowd, which had surged from the street into the yard right up to the steps. MUST NOTnTALK POLITICS. Col.

BRYAN. ON THE ISSUES COL. W. J. WILL OT LET THE SILVER QUESTION ALONE. He Admits However, that Other Important Matters Have Come to the Front, and Predicts Success. DES MOINES, la., Oct. 11. William J. Bryan was interviewed to-day on the political issues, especially the Philippine question. He said: "We are planning to make things just as lively In the campaign next year as possible and I think we will succeed better than in 18JHJ. Former Issues have changed somewhat and new ones have come In which strengthen our position and will add many votes to our column. I do not deem It advisable or possible to state so far ahead what Issues will be chief In importance. Conditions and circumstances may change between now and then, so as to make certain fssues of greater relative importance then than now. Our issues- of lEDo are just as important now as then; others have arisen since then and still more may command attention." As to the withdrawal of troops from the Philippines. Mr. Bryan dictated this statement: "No, I do not favor the withdrawal of our troops. What I do believe and have repeatedly announced, is that we should at once declare our purpose in unequivocal terms, so positive that the Filipinos cannot doubt it, to grant them full and complete Independence the moment they have established a stable government. I believe that if we should make such an announcement right now the war would cease in a very short time and our troops could withdraw without laying down their arms in the face of the enemy. Furthermore, I believe if we had come out with such an announcement in the beginning the war would never have occurred. I am not unaware that a few half-hearted efforts have been made In that direction from time to time but they were made in such a way as to raise strong question of their sincerity." Mr. Bryan said after a few more days In Iowa he will go to Kentucky and then to Ohio to close his campaign. HOME FOR SCHLEY, TOO MOVEMENT INAUGURATED AT; THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Woman a Industrial League Proposes to Purchase a Residence for the Marylander. WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. The Woman's National Industrial League to-night took the Initial steps to raise a fund with which to purchase a home in Washington for Admiral Schley. An executive committee, with Mrs. Charlotte Smith as chairman, was appointed to' push the movement and the Citizens' National Bank of Washington was designated as the Institution to which subscribers should send their subscriptions. Resolutions were adopted as follows: "Whereaa. Rear Admiral Winneld Scott Schley, of the United States navy, has, by his patriotic devotion to duty, as displayed at tne battle of Santiago, endeared himself to the American people, and "Whereas, The members of the Woman's Industrial League, desiring to express their gratitude to a brave, unselfish and modest officer, who has been an earnest and chivalrous friend to industrial women, be it therefore Resolved, That the Woman's Industrial League take the initial and necessary steps to promote public opinion, so as to enable them to secure funds to purchase a home for Admiral Schley at the national capital as a token of their high appreciation of his services in behalf of our country; and be it further "Resolved, That the Woman's National Industrial League of America appropriate $100 toward the expense for stationery, postage and printing in sending out letters to the patriotic citizens of the United States to reauest their so-operation in forming committees and assisting in securing funds to purchase a home to be presented to Admiral Schley by the pecple of America. We also earnestly appeal to the press of the Nation to assist us in our efforts." FOR PACIFICATION ONLY. Archbishop Chapelle's Journey to the Philippine Islands. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 11. Archbishop Chappelle,. papel delegate to the Philippine islands, to-night gave out his first Interview regarding his important, mission. "I have talked over my mission, thoroughly with President McKlnley," he said, "and we understand each other. My errand Is one of pacification. I hope to accomplish what the army of the United States has failed to do. to bring peace to the islands. I am hurrying the arrangements for my departure regardless of all else, and will leave at the earliest possible opportunity. I feel that I will be successful in what I am going to try to accomplish." The archbishop was asked as to what would be done with the church property in the Philippines. "This matter has been discussed by me with the authorities in Washington." he answered, "and we understand each other. The report that the properties are Jointly held in the name of the church and crown is erroneous. The properties belong and have always belonged to the church alone. It will be a simple question of proving title. I have received no intimation that confiscation is intended. The church has been established in the Philippines for upward of three centuries, and to the church Is due the credit of civilization existing there now, a civilization which has- raised the inhabitants of the Island of Luzon to a higher stage of culture than exists to-day In Massachusetts. By this statement I mean that the proportion of illiteracy in Luzon is smaller than it is in Massachusetts. The priests have worked hard, and many of them have acquired individual property. The property of the church in the Philippines is private property, as much so as the possessions of any indlvidaul citizen of the United States. This talk about superfluous holdings amounts to nothing. Tnis government is in possession of my plans and I will work In accord with the government." Deresford Sees Ilnlls and Bears. NEW YORK. Oct. 11. Bulls and bears on the Stock Exchange to-day made a truce long enough to entertain Rear Admiral Lord Char Us Bercaford who spoke briefly.

NO PROSPECT OF WIND

OUTLOOK LAST NIGHT FOR A YACHT RACE TO-DAY OT GOOD. American Picking Up Courage and Novr Confident of Defeating Shamrpek Little Betting on Reaolt. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. The outlook for a race between Shamrock and Columbia tomorrow is none of the best. Even the hitherto optimistic Weather Bureau will not promise a. breeze. The revised agreement calls for a start every week day from this time on, so there is a possibility of the fate of the cup being decided this week. Looking as fine as two fiddles tuned up to concert pitch, the Columbia and Shamrock lay quietly at their moorings all day, with their tenders close at hand and tugs standing by for a call. During the early morning hours the fog was even thicker than on Tuesday, but when the sun came out toward noon the fog cleared away under the Influence of a light breeze from the southsouthwest. Many fog,-bound Atlantic liners which had been waiting for hours to cross the bar passed into theharbor and up to quarantine. Among them was the White Star ship Oceanic, which rounded the southwest Eplt soon after 1:30 p. m. The cover was taken off Columbia's mainsail just before noon and It was given a thorough overhauling and drying. The new club topsail was also looked after and the running gear inspected fore and aft. Speaking of the new club topsail made -for the Columbia since the last race and set on Tuesday for the first time, Mr. Iselln said: "Yes, it's a larger sail than any of the others, and I am pleased with the way it sets. Whether it is larger than any of the Shamrock's I am not prepared to say. You who see the boats under sail from a distance ought to be able to tell that, for I have not seen the sails of either boat from a distance." The utmost confidence in the American yacht prevails among her crew. Many of them have wagered a month's wages on her, and all agree that she cannot be beaten. "Just give us a breeze like we used to have at Newport on some days," said one, "and we will show what she can do. Those who think she is just a light weather boat will get left, that's all. The harder it blows the better the boat will go, down the wind or any other way. It does not matter, so long as it blows a good, steady breeze from start to finish. We know we have a hard boat to beat, but we shall beat her just the same." Captain Barr has little or nothing to pay, but he also, the sailors say. has no thought of anything but making Columbia cross the finish line first in every race. Capt. Nat Herreshoff says less than anyone on board, but he never lets a chance go by to improve the yacht in every possible way. LIPTON CHEERFUL AS USUAL. Sir Thomas Lipton was as cheerful as usual, full of hope for a breeze to-morrow and full of confidence In the Shamrock's ability to lift the cup. "There she Is," said he, with a show of pride in his voice and gesture as he pointed to the sreen beauty, lying peacefully at her buoy. "Nothing has been done to her since the last race and nothing needs to be done. She is all ready to start when the gun is fired." Weather conditions at the Horseshoe. where the fleet of yachts and tenders is ly ing, were nearly as depressing to-day as yesterday. The morning brought a fog like that of the day before, although less dense, which lifted slowly as the day advanced. Not a breath of air was stirring and there was no sign of a breeze until the early afternoon, which was the dreariest part of the day. On board the defender and challenger a close watch was kept through the mist for vessels, but aside from this and the ordinary routine, there was little for the crew to do, except wait for the morrow and hope for a wind. As the day advanced the fog lifted, until at noon it was hardly more than a haze on the horizon. About 1 o'clock the first breeze of the day came up from the south, light and hardly more than enough to make a ripple on the water. In the afternoon this increased, although it was never more than enough to move any except the smallest boats. One of the boats of the Erin, fitted with a leg of mutton sail, set In English style, was sailed in mldafternoon by one of the Erin's petty officers and Sir Arnold Morley, around the Horseshoe, in and out of the fleet, attracting attention from the unusual set of the sail. The sail covers on the big yachts, taken off at midday, were replaced about midafternoon, Columbia's men being the first to do this. The day was discouraging and Mr. Iselln voiced the general feeling when, on board the tender St. Michaels, he said it was fortunate that no race had been scheduled for to-day. HERRESHOFF WILL AID BARR, No work on sails or rigging was done on the American boat. On the Shamrock none had been attempted on other days. C. Oliver Iselln said the new club topsail and tlra mainsail were both satisfactory, so far as he could tell, and no more change had been made on either. He said further that practically no changes had been made on the Columbia. lie denied that any trouble had been experienced with the bobstay, and stated that the work on that had been merely painting. "This one is not galvanized," he said, "and we have to paint it frequently. That is the reason for the work of the sailors on it." In response to a question Mr. Iselln said Designer Herreshoff would sail on the Columbia in all of the cup races, as he had sailed in the trials already held, and would add his experience and knowledge of the boat to that of Captain Barr. At the New York Stock Exchange to-day offers of 10 to 8 on the Columbia found no takers. There was no money backing the Shamrock in the hands of commission brokers. Money at the New York Yacht Club and other clubs had found no Shamrock takers, and the Columbia seems to be the favorite yet with American bettors. Betting has been even, 10 to 8 and 10 to 6 to-day in Columbia circles, but no money is ready from the opposition and no betting of account had been done. One 5 to 4 In hundreds was recorded at the Hoffman House, but all the other centers have no reports of wagers. In an interview with former Commodore James D. Smith, of the New York Yacht Club, he said: "There is little difference between the boats, if there Is any, and from what I have seen of their sailing qualities thus far I should prefer the Shamrock's. While I may be a subject for cavil from my fellow-members of the New York Yacht Club. I think I am entitled to my opinion. For several series of races I have been chairman of the America cup committee. I asked to be excused from further duty In this matter and the cup committee to-day and for these races is composed of Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan. Vice Commodore Ledyard, August Belmont, Jr.. Secretary J. V. S. Oddie, Treasurer F. W. Hearts), former Commodore E. M. Brown and Herman Duryea,. I do not care so much to be quoted as saying that I think the retention of the cup is in doubt. I would not say that I wished the Shamrock might win the series eventually, but I believe that the Shamrock is the most dangerous challenger that the New York Yacht Club has had for a contestant since America brought the cup over to usi" NEW VETERANS' PARTY. Gualberto Gomes Snys It Will Sweep the Cuban Election. HAVANA, Oct. 11. Gualberto Gomez said to-day that the Cuban National League and the Cuban National party are doomed. The result of the election of committee delegates, he declared, was a complete triumph for the National party at the expense of the league, as all those elected to the committee are members of the former organization. The league and the Revolutionary party are greatly offended, as the committee does not contain one prominent member of the Revolutionary party. He also said General Maximo Gomez did not have the sympathy of the National party, despite the avowed Intention of some of its members to support him, and had too much sense, as had also the league, to follow in the train of some tlx or eight obstinate men who are trying to lead the league and the party. The veterans, Senor Gomez said, ought, to be the mainstay of the country. Their recent meeting in the Santa Clara

was very Important, and before the completion of the census the veterans will have formed a party that will carry all before It. The league will openly lead the National party to Join the veterans, and it is thought possible that Maximo Gomez will be chosen as the recognized leader of the veterans. The National party, fcenor Gomez declared, had openly made fun of the league, whose members are thoroughly discontented with the delegates elected, as the Havana committee represents a very small portion of th electorate. Cuban, politicians say that Gualberto Gomez has been "on the fence" waiting to see how the league and the National party will succeed. He was elected a delegate for the Municipal Council, but resigned at tho last moment. The politicians say that the apparent change in the tone of La Discuscion. the organ of Gualberto Gomez, toward General Maximo Gomez seems to Indicate that the former thinks General Gomez stands to win. . Yellorr Fever Aboard Ship. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. ll.-The Mobile line steamer Flandrla, Captain Hanson, arrived here yesterday with her first officer and chief engineer ill with yellow fever, which they had contracted at Havana. The chief engineer, it is. thought, will die. The ship has been strictly quarantined. This Is the third Infected ship to arrive this season from Havana, and it is thought the health officials will enforce a quarantine against Havana and Key West. There have been no cases of yellow fever In the city proper for a month and General Wood says the troops will return to their quarters in a short time. PROMOTIONS IN THE NAVY

NEWSPAPER ENDOWMENT

STRONGLY ADVOCATED AT THE ST. PAUL EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. Two Interesting Subject Under Discussion Dr. De Coitn on the Acceptanoe of Ills Resignation. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct 11. The Sunday question was the topic for the second day's session of the Protestant Episcopal Church's nineteenth congress" '.n this city to-day. Rev. Campbell Fair, D. D., of Omaha, and Rev. Henry Tattlock, of Ann Arbor, Mich., opened the discussion with formal papers. Dr. Fair, after stating that there are more than two hundred passages in the Scriptures bearing on the one day of rest in seven and that nature seconds the Scriptures In the demand for the Sabbath, took the ground that the Sunday newspaper is one of the hindrances to true Sabbath observance. He cited the numerous laws regarding the keeping of the Sabbath, in State and other legislation, and urged their enforcement. In conclusion he urged the following of the Jewish precept. "Whatever can be done on the day before or deferred until the day after ought not to be done on the Sabbath." Dr. Tattlock ascribed the decadence of proper Sabbath observance, first, to the greed or carelessness of the older generations; and, second, to the consequent lack of proper training of the young people. As reasons for returning to the proper observance of the day he cited: It is a needed day of rest; it Is a needed day of religious observance; it is required for the welfare of the state, because U conduces to the physl cal, mental and moral welfare of the peo ple; it is essentially an American lnstltu tlon He recommended the establishment of Sabbath-day observance societies In all parts of the country. Rev. W. S. Rainsford, D. D.. of New York, Rev. Ernest M. Stiers, of Chicago, and Rev. Beverly E. Warner, D. D., of New Orleans, led in the further discussion on the same topic. Dr. Warner ascribed, in a large decree, the decadence in' "Sabbath observance to tho decreased attendance upon church services, especially on the part of the men. The increase of employments requiring Sunday labor was cited as another cause. In speaking of Sunday laws he said: "My conclusion is that so-called Sunday legislation should not be enacted or enforced on religious grounds, any more than Ifglslation concerning theft or murder. We jjive up our strength when we strive to make men religious by force. The so-called Sunday laws against labor, except works of necessity and mercy, seem to me to be justifiable, firat, to the extent of preventing some men from interfering with the rights of others to a day of peace and rest, and second, so far as they prevent the powerful employer class from encroaching upon oneseventh of the time of their employes. But Sunday laws against amusements, per se, aro unnatural." The general topic for to-nlghfs session was "The Bearing of the Newspaper on Intellectual and Moral Life."' The "writers," as those who open the discussions are called, were Rev. Cameron Mann, D. D., of Kansas City, and Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith, D. D., of Washington. Among other things Dr. Mann said: "The brags made by the newspapers themselves as to their power are not exaggerated as to the amount, however they may be as to the- beneficence." He emphasized the fact that a newspaper is not a charity, a reform organization, a society for the diffusion of useful knowledge, but a commercial enterprise. Political partizanship he held to be right and proper, but not essential either to the prosperity of the paper or tho well-being of the community. Journalistic looseness as to truth and correct expression he considered were due largely to the fact that "most people do not care for that extent and accuracy of information, that sobriety of tone, that fairness of discussion, that anxiety for upliftment, which are the qualities which theoretically should make the successful journal." Consequently, tho people should be sparing in their denunciations of the press. Journalists who mean harm, who favor lie3 and pruriency, he said, are few and far between. Nearly all papers champion high Ideals, "but indirectly they undo much of their advice and exhortation." The speaker cited the "quack" and! often Indecent announcements appearing on the advertising pages in support of this contention. He closed with an advocacy of an endowed newspaper, saying such a paper is no more absurd than an endowed university. In the opening the further discussion of tho same general subject Rev. David H. Greer, D. D., of New York, said that Carlyle's characterization of the press as "the modern church" referred manifestly to its power rather than Its piety, but he thought the power was used for good to a much greater degree than for evil. He held, too, that because there is more of the strange and the uncommon to chronicle in connection with evil than with good it follows that the wrong, the evil and the lawlessness of life receive more notice than the good and the pure things of this world. But even this fact does not make the newspaper an evil thing. He, like Dr. Mann, believed the fault is with the people that the public Journals are not better. Dr. Flavel S. Luther, Ph. D., of Hartford, Conn., followed practically the same line of thought. A more informal discussion of the general topic occupied the balance of the evening session. POTTER ACTED PR03IPTLY. Rev. De Costa on the Hasty Acceptance of Ills Resignation. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Rev. Dr. Benjamin F. De Costa, when told, last night, of Bishop Potter's unusual celerity in deposing him from the Episcopal ministry, said: "I had expected that Bishop Potter would act promptly on Sunday. Why? Because I know the man and believe he would not delay an hour longer than necessary. A different kind of man would have allowed the person resigning an opportunity for consideration. The canon mentions three months. I am quite satisfied, however, and am glad it Is over. The last time I trusted him I promised that it would be the last. He has justified my expectations, and I have kept my word. I may add that this evening I received a letter from him, dated on Saturday, saying that he would proceed, but mentioning no date. He is certainly an adroit ecclesiastical manager." The letter from Bishop Potter, to which Dr. De Costa refers, follow: "Reverend Sir I beg to acknowledge your communication of this date renouncing the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church and to advise you that, in accordance with the provision of Section I, of Canon 5. of Title 2. cf the Digest, I shall proceed to take such action as is therein required." Dr. De Costa says his letter to Bishop Potter, giving his reasons for resigning, contained about 4.500 words. It was delivered to the bishop on Saturday morning, together with a message that the writer would give the bishop until noon Monday to make a reply If he wished to do so. The bishop left New York on Sunday morning for St. Paul and stopped off at Poughkeepsle, where the ceremony of deposition was performed in Christ Church. Although the bishop has authority to act promptly on a resignation, it is customary to wait until the three months which are allowed for reflection and possible consideration have expired. Dr. De Costa said his resignation is part of the fight in defense of the Bible, but he declined to state what his plans for the luture are further than to say that he does not contemplate going on the lecture platform, writing a book or engaging in any other work at present. "I need rest," said he, "and I Intend to take It. It Is not true that I am receiving religious Instruction from the Jesuit fathers at St. Francis Xavier's Church, or anywhere else." Rev. Dr. Clendenln and others, who were with Dr. De Costa in the Briggs controversy, declined to express opinions as to his action. Plan of Clinreh Extension Adopted. ST. PAUL Minn., Oct. 11.
