The indications increase that President "Roosevelt has r.o idea of poing back on the principles of Civil-service Commissioner "Roosevelt. The men who have the best claims for the first positions in the city government are those who have the best reputations Jor capacity and integrity. The Prohibition vote was considerably increased, but it did not have the least effect upon the result. Two years ago It elected !Mr. Tassart. The Atolitionists elected Polk over Clay by voting for Hirncy.

Peader of the Journal outside of the City should not fail to imte the extrusive Rd elaborate preparations which are be ing mad for the carnival next week.

"Wc are Roirr to pive yuu four ytAlt" lie is raid to liave replied: "No. two years rs rnough." lVrhaps the lest way to cct four years is to conduct an administration for two years with reference to present duty alone. It Is vastly more important that the unv tity government get at the public business tlan that tho time of officials should be consumed in listening to the claims of those enxious to serve tho city, because there are I.0CO citizens for whom thcro is no place to on outsido of the iiro and police dcpait rnents for whom there is a place. Because it is a matter of public concern that harmony should prevail among Re publican leaders, it is gratifying to leant that Senator Piatt Fays: "President Roosevelt and I are In perfect harmony on New il'ork rolltlcs, and row hsve a thorough tinclerstandlng with each other on all subjects In g-eneral and In detail touching party affairs." The AUH-Chalmcrs Company, one of the largest manufacturine vstablishmrnts in Chicago, threatens to remove from tlie city If it is not given liee protection against pickrtlns" and other persecuting measures of strikers. Such a step would be costly, but no manufacturing company can le expected to remain whore it cannot have the protection of the law. A comparison of the votes for mayor, clerk and city judge hat!.- to the inference that Republican or voters voting for mayor did not vote for any other candidate on th Republican ti k t. which means that they placed tho X against the name of Mr. Bookwalter, assuming that br so doing they were voting the whole ticket. It also aprears that Svl Democrats made the same mistake. This from a London literary review: 'Everybody talks about Count Tolstoi r.ov. adays. though few have read a line o" h! works." This Is shocking. A good i:nny persons are suspicious of the individuals who are perpetually talking of Tolstoi. Meredith, Drowning and o;hcr stars in literature, but the frank acknowledgment by one who hould k'i )v that noNhly reads, tha first one turned and Infervntialiy Ioes not read the others is rtartlleg.

One of the best features of the city char

ter is the concentration of all executive power and responsibility in the mayor and dividing the important functions of the city government among boards of his appointment. The charter recognizes that a proper discharge of all the executive duties pertaining to the othec of mjyor is too much for any man. The duties arc too varied and the details too numerous for any one man to discharge them properly. Consequently, they are divided among boards to be appointed by the mayor and responsi ble to him. In prescribing the duties of the mayor the charter says, lirst of all: "It shall be his duty to cause the ordinances of the city and the laws of the State to be executed and enforce d." With that as a starting point it creates a department of hnaiK-e, a department of law, a department of public works, a department of public safety, a department of assessment and eollectionand a department of public health and charities. The heads of all these departments and members of all the boards, except the department of assessment and collection, are appointed by the mayor. J!y this means the large duties of the cdliee are divided among heads of departments and boards appointed by the mayor without diminishing his responsibility. As these heads of departments and boards constitute the entire executive department of the city government it is of the utmost importance to the mayor and the people that they be selected with great care, and with especial reference to individual fitness. Their selection is the test of a good mayor, and they can make or mar any administration. The only limitation on the power of the mayor in appointing the boards is that not more' than two of them shall be of the same political party. With this exception the charter gives the mayor full discretion in his appointments, evidently assuming that he will appoint only persons of recognized fitness. The positions are so important that no mayor can afford to appoint to them any but men of recognized fitness. If he does the people will be sure to divine the true motive of the appointment and hold the mayor responsible. They cannot reach an unfit head of a department or member of a board, but they can reach the mayor who appoints 1dm or who keeps him in office after his unfitness has become apparent. The city controller should be a first class business man. the city attorney should be as good a lawyer as can be induced to take the ofiice for the salary paid, and the members of the different boards should be men of such character and standing as to command public confidence from the start. The fact that the charter concentrates all executive power and responsibility in the mayor and makes him responsible for all the acts of all Ids appointees, should make him exceedingly careful in his selections. honor to Tin: soitii sum:. Kxaminatiou of the returns of the recent election will show that the Republican victory was largely duo to gains oa what is called the "South Side." Tho northern wardd barely held their own, but the gains which turned Republican defeat of two years ago into Republican victory were made chiefly on the South Side. Thero has always been a. compact, well-organized republican vote on the South Side, a sort of "old guard" that could be depended on under any ami all circumstances, but without reinforcements it could never turn defeat into victory. That this was done on Tuesday is largely due to the independent German vote a vote which cannot be long ccntrolled in the interest of any party that elocs not do right, no matter by what name it is called. This class of voters on the South sjiJe. had become tired of the bopsism and jobbery of the Taggart regime, tired of ring rule and personal polities, and they emphasized their convictions by voting for a change. They deserve credit on broader grounds than mere partisan ones. The Republican victory of Tuesday is largcls- due to them, and it is hoped they may not be disappointed in their expectations of reform in the city government. The Journal takes off its hat to them for bavins the courage of their convictions. a 4ii TIlANSA"I IO. A temporary restraining order issued Ly Judge Leathers, of the Superior Court, enjoining the Board of Public Works from laying a wooden block pavement on a certain street until further bearing by the court, discloses a situation which calls for investigation. The order was based on a complaint filed in the interest of certain property owners alleging that the contract for the pavement was awarded under conditions which practically barred competition and gave the contract to one bidder, namely, the Hoosier Construction Company, to the exclusion of all others, and that this was done by the board knowingly and intentionallj-. The following is from a city article in the Journal of the Sth inst.: The complaint alleges that the specifications prepared by the city engineer for block paving stipulate that blocks must be prepared with "kreodone. or Republic creosote paving oil." which is manufactured by the Western Creosote Company and its exclusive sale limited to the Hoosier Construction Company. The petition states that no other company or contractor can purchase "kreodone." that It is not on the market, and by a collusion of the Western Creosote Company, the Hoosier Construction Company, the city engineer, the Board of I'uhlie Work and Mayor Taggart all other bidders other than the Hoosier Construction Compnny are precluded from securing contracts and competition Is barred. The complaint contained allegations tending to show an arbitrary exercise cf power by the Board of Works in ordering the improvement on the petition of property owners whe, it was alleged, were less than a majority, and in refusing to heed a remonstrance signed by twelve out of twenty-five resident property owners, but no comment Is made on this feature of the case at present further thin to remark that it seems to show a determination on the part of the board to put the improvement through In rite of all opposition. The ioInt to which attention Is now called is that the specifications for the paving required the use of "heavy creosote oil of the grades known as kreodone or Republic creosote paving oil, specially prepared for pavlnq- purposes," and that there is no such thins on the market or known to science or chemists, its exclusive control being In the hands of a local company called the Western Creosote Company. A contract awarded under specifications which require the ue of an article

known to and controlled exclusively by one company and not. obtainable by any other Is virtually awarded without competition. There is reason to believe that many wooden-block paving contracts have been awarded to the same company under similar specifications. If it is further true, as commonly reported, that the head or a chief officer of the Western Creosote Company is a near relative of a rormer chairman of the Board of Public Works, and who is now interested in the creosoting business, there i-s additional reason for investigation of the transaction and of other similar ones. This might be a good place for the new administration to begin a little subsoiling. Itrsi'ONSlIIILlTV AMI OPPORTIMTY. Tho election of the Republican ticket on Tuesday with a majority of the City Council makes the party responsible for the management of city affairs the next two years. It is a very grave responsibility. The elements which go to make an efficient city government are many and the demands are exacting. Yet the men upon whom the voters of Indianapolis conferred that responsibility are believed to be able to meet all essential requirements if they

will but adopt the methods they employ in business. City government Is simply the management of a large corporation; but city government is generally Inefficient and often wasteful and corrupt because the men intrusted with the responsibility have neither the capacity nor the disposition to place the management upon a high plane. It is believed that the officers elected, upon whom the responsibility lias been placed, have both the capacity and the disposition to give the city a clean and businesslike administration. To Mr. Bookwalter has come an opportunity that rarely comes to a young man of business intelligence and executive ability. It is within his power to make himself a man of wiele influence in public affairs. The Journal most sincerely wishes he may prove such an official that he may make the most of the opportunity which has opened to him. It will need brains, firmness and courage to do this, because the men who will press themselves upon him day and night arc those who have an idea that places in the public service are sinecures which any person can fill places which the inefficient can hold as well as the most efficient men. This is a vicious theory, and any administration which adopts it will fail. The city for the wages it pays has a right to the best service and the best labor in the market, and not one man more than is absolutely needed for the service should be employed. Of course the mayor who rigidly enforces such a policy will have little enemies, but by doing so he will win the support of the many. The laws of Indiana must be firmly and impartially enforced in a dignified manner. It is not a. matter of discretion but a sworn duty. The Polite Court must not be a refuge for lawbreakers. Indianapolis has not in recent years had a City Council which has commanded the degree of public confidence such a body should. The majority of the newly elected Council have the capacity and experience to place the legislative branch of the city government upon a higher plane if it will but rise to the occasion by considering the welfare of the city at large instead of resorting to that demagogy which has so often characterized past Councils. The Council is a co-ordinate branch and not an appendix of the executive department. Compared with the interests of the population of this growing city political advantage is of little consctiuencc; but the best administration, clean, energetie nnd intelligent, will be the "best ilitics that can be devised. Shall the city havo such an administration? Shall the responsibility prove a great opportunity? i)i:ci:ntly ami i oitnnn. The last time ex-Mayor Taggart was inaugurated the occasion was made a partisan jollification. The men who bad been accustomed to orderly procedure in public affairs woxild have mistaken the assemblage for a campaign meeting instead of the inauguration of the government of a large city. The Journal hopes;, and every Republican in the city who lias an appreciation of the fitness of things, hopes that the occasion of the induction of the mayor and other oflicers-elect Into office will be a dignified, nonpartisan function. If Mr. Bookwalter, when he shall have taken the oath of office, desires to fpeak he will doubtless speak of the affairs of the city, and the man who calls the meeting to order should. In a dignified manner, state the purpose of the meeting, which should proceed with decorum and the dignity becoming so important an event in the life of a leading city. It is certainly better that tho new administration, elected to carry out policies different from the last, should begin by doing things differently, and not making the inauguration of the mayor a noisy partisan demonstration. The figures by which Messrs. Moores, Sweeney and Sickels were re-elected to the School Board contain a valuable and timely lesson. On the list of candidates were several worthy citizens, yet the three men named have been re-elected by majorities without precedent in this city. One is a Democrat and two aro Republicans, but when the voters who have an interest in the public schools marked their ballots they iKnored party classification. They did so because these men constitute a majority of a board which has managed the affairs of the schools upon intelligent businese principles and upon a strictly nonpartisan basis. The emphatic re-election of these commissioners indicates that the best men in both parties are in favor of the management of public institutions upon a nonpartisan basis. It also shows that men in public positions can make themselves most popular by pursuing an intelligent and upright policy. The unpleasant side of a change in a city administration is that a number of men are thrown out of positions who have held one or ancther minor place so long that they are unable to adapt themselves to other employments. From the make-up of the new Council the city has a right to expect better things than peanut politics. The city has not had in recent years so generally good men in the Council'as were elected on Tuesday. "What Will Take Its Place f Boston Transcript. Perhaps the custom of handshaking everywhere will to a certain extent go out of fashion if it comes to pass that the ceremony is barred out at all public receptions given to the President.

TRIBUTE TO DEAD PRESIDENT IXC11)ETS OF M'KIN LEY'S CAREElt TOLII BY THIS INDIAMAX. How a Free-Trader Was ItontedThe MnrlTa Statesmanship, Patriotism and CouriiKe. CHICAGO, Oct. 9. The anniversary of the Chicago fire was observed to-day by the members or the Marquette Club, which held a banquet that waa attended by a large number of the club members and many Invited guests. President Bush, of the club, presided, and the speakers were William Allen White, of Emporia, Kan.; Booker T. Washington, Congressman C. 1. Lanuis, of Indiana, and Rev. F. E. Hopkins, of Chicago. The address of Congressman Landis was on the subject, "William McKinley,' and he paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the dead President, which was greeted with much applause by his auditors. He said, in part: "I am going to speak of William McKinley to-night as we all knew him, because we all did know him. Those who never saw him knew htm, made his acquaintance b3observing him In the fierce light of public inquiry, and malicious suggestion, and wicked expectation. And the ileicer the light the more radiant his character. There was such beauty in his daily life as swept away alt barriers and gave mankind the right to claim him close of kin. lie was so honest, he was so earnest, he was so gentle, he was so gre.it, his; were such manifold graces of heart, and mind, and ambition as to leave a name spoken in affectionate reverence alike in hut and palace. "If 1 were asked what associated qualities gave us this finished product of beautiful, dignified manhood and broad statesmanship I would saj- that it was his genuine appreciation of the practical, as applied to life, and politics and government combined with sincerity, courage and caution. In what divine proportion these elements Were mixed in hhn! In his early school life the admonition of the schoolmaster, 'do one thing well,' took deep root in his understanding and gave him fame. In his youth he learned the lessons of that great policy, with which his name must ever be associated, b daii- contact with conditions in the iron mills near his own home. He traced with mathematical accuracy the lino between cause and effect, and became a protectionist, a practical protectionist. Premises, the conclusion of which was a product manufactured at home, a market for the farmer near bis own door, a good wage and r happy home for the laborer appealed to him with all the irresistible; lorce of logic, and he pleaded for this with all the ardor of an inspired prophet. Premises, the; conclusion of which was dependence on foreign nations for the manufactured product and enforced poverty and idleness here at home, impressed him as an illustration of sinful sophistry and he fought such premises with all the vim and conscience of a crusader. The r.ctual cloth, spun by an American factory located along an American stream and cmploying American labor, looked more substantial to him than theories spun b" doctrinaires, Kecure in endowed chairs in the universities of Xew England. A FREE-TRADER SQUELCHED. "We all remember how completely ho routed a free-trader from Massachusetts in that historic debate, in 1X. The freetrader Insisted that a 'best' suit of clothes for a laboring man, worth in reality th cost fro here in the United States, one-half the purchase price representing the tariff. .'But the suit does not cost birn $2V interrupted Mr. McKinley. 'I have the I'.gures to show that it dees. responded the freetrader. 'But 1 have the suit of clothes to show that it does not,' said Mr. McKinley, displaying a new suit of clothes, of the quality described, and stating that he bad purchased it that morning for $10 of a retailer in the city of Washington and that the tags oit tho same showed that it hud been made in the free-trader's own factory, near Boston. That was the logic of fact. That incident stampeded the opposition and electrified the country. That was practial. And in that memorable campaign of 1K every Republican and Gold Democrat did his best, and helped win the victory, but tho heaviest projectiles, not one of which went wide of the mark, were thrown from the headquarters of our commander-in-chief, in Canton, O. He never spoke without thought, he never played tho demagogue and the people believed in him implicitly to tho hour he was stricken down, and mourn him to-day because they eaw the fulfillment of all his prophecies and the redemption of all his pledges. lie kept faith with everybody and everything. A burden seemed to strengthen him. to make, him broad nnd great. He regarded responsibility as a sacred trust. Responsibility seemed to inspire him, to lift him to the sublime heights of every peak of human prenius as embraced in statesmanship, and from that supremo height, in calmness and serenity, he took his bearings. "He stood on one of those peaks when he Frepared that last address ho delivered at tuffalo. Listen to some of these sentences: 'Commercial wars are unprotltable. -Iteci-procity treaties are In harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of retaliation are not.' 'We must build more ships and they must be under the American flag.' 'We must build the isthmian canal.' 'The construction of a Pacific cable cannot be longer postponed-' Had he lived I doubt not that all these things would have been well on the way to achievement and realization before the conclusion of his second term. But, though we sorrow and feel a grief that time can never assuage, we are not filled with despair, for out of the Fast has come a new leader, one who will carry on the work. The entire Republican party, loyal ant! true, strenuously American, stands tonight and will continue to stand back of President Theodore Roopevelt. to the end that the sentimenfs expressed In that address are given the vital force and effect of law. WILL REPRESS ANAItCIIV. "And to this legislative duty we will add another. We will go after tho red flag in this Republic. I confess that I am not a competitor with any man who enters the lists as a conservative on the question of anarchy. My blood boils with indignation when I read that the only way to lay hands on the wretch at Spring Vallej-, who sent his congratulations to the assassin at Buffalo, is to arrest him for publishing a lottery advertisement in his newspaper! And that creature without sex. v.no set the coward's brain on fire, turned loose in the streets of Chicago and protected by the very system to the destruction of which the efforts of her life are dedicated! Congress will convene in less than two months and I believe that before the holidays, under a suspension of the rules, by practically unanimous consent, a bill will be enacted into n law that will enable the people of this Republic to crush the lifo out of these social and political reptiles. "No sublimer exhibition of genuine courage was ever given than William McKin-le-y's course Immediately preceding the declaration of war with Spain. He told me that was the severest trial of his entire public career. Said he: 'It seemed as if the wrath of the country, like the waves of an angry sea, beat against the White House,' and, continued he. 'I could never have stood it but for my faith in anil dep.-nlenee on Almishty God.' And when he sail that I thought of Lincoln, as h was wont to stand at midnight r.n the south portico of the White House and looked at the stars, and draw Inspiration from the sky and from Him who holds planets as in the hollow of His hand. He was an old-frsshior.ed Christian and believed in the old-fashioned religion, the precepts of which he learned at his mother's knee at a time when learned in-n had something better to do than shoot interro-faticn points into everything revered b' the masse. thereb shaking their faith Iri the sacred acceptations and traditions of centuries. "No man in public life but learned a lesson In caution from William McKinle His disrlpllne over himself was perfect. With him caution w?s Instinct. It made him safe, sure-footed. While hostilities wer. assured aftor the destruction of the Maina

he did not permit that tragedy to excite him. The morning after that crime in Hft vana harbor there was white heat on the face of everybody but the President. We all wanted war and we wanted it right away. -Why,' he said to me at that time, and 1 was one of the eiclttd ones, 'why get excited? Why plunge ahead? This thing will keep.' i asked him what he meant by that ana he replied: 'The Maine will still bo destroyed to-morrow, the next day, and next week. This probably means war. but if we are going to war let us do it calmly and with due He-liberation.' He did not consent to a declaration of wir until conditions forced it and everything was ready. "At last the die was cast, but only after this declaration, made to many public men: 'New problems, new duties and new responsibilities will come with this war. and 1 want it understood that we will solve these problems, we will discharge these duties, we will meet these responsibilities. Gentlemen, once in this war, there will bo no dodging nor turning back.' And he was true to that declaration to the day of his death, and with the memory of his devotion to it forever fresh in mind the Republican party will push ahead, will carry on the werk, never ee.i.Mng until the names ot all those Islands in the Philippines are written on the scroll of civilization and the ei-ht million people who inhabit them are in full enjoyment of rational liberty." Continuing. Mr. Landis reviewed the public acts of the martvnd President, showing that evervthing done was in the interests of peace and the dory of the Republic-. In conluding, Mr. Landis said: "la his death there was that divinity and philosophy, and that trust and faith exemplified on Calvarv. Lt us sey of him as he said of Lincoln: 'While tin; party with which we stand, md for which lie stood, can justly claim him. .nd without dispute can boast the distinction of being th? first to honor and trust him. his fame has leaped the bounds of party and country and now belong to mankind anil the ages.'

GENERAL SMITH AM) SOLDIERS SAIL FOR THE ISLAM) OF SAMAIt. Seventh Infantry Aniiiis to Avenge I he Massac re of Company C, of the Ninth Regiment. MANILA, Oct. 9. General Smith sailed from here to-day for the relief of the Island cf Samar. He will take command of Samar and Leyte, so as to enable General Hughes to devote himself to the Island of Ccbu, where trouble Is possible unless strong measures are adopted. General Smith is accompanied by a battalion of the Seventh Infantry, which is anxious to avenge the disaster to Company C, of the Ninth Infantry. Further accounts from Samar, received here, show that horrible indignities were perpetrated on the dead bodies. Congressman Edward Weeks, of Michigan, says that, judging by statements made by officials, who lived among the Filipinos, and also a result of his own personal observations, he considers the people little better than savages, having a thin veneer of civilization. He has seen no Filipino architecture beyond the Nipa shacks, and no Filipino, he pny, ever made a road, built a ship or reared a schoolhouse. Mr. Weeks considers that the mass ot people nre unlit to participate in any form of government, anil thinks that the best government for the archipelago is one that will be feared rather than loved. 's the natural instincts of the Filipinos are to mistake kindness for fear. CHAVIilM'S DEATH LIST. anies of Soldiers Wim Died Recently in tho Philippine. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.

CANON

38 APPROVED ADOPTED IIV THE I It OT EST A N'T Iipistoi-AL norsi: or bishops. An Important Lavr f the linrch Which Relate to the Solemn Ixntion of Marriage. NOW GOES TO THE DEPUTIES BOSTON CHOSEN AS PLACE OI' MEET INti THREE YEARS HENCE. Committee Appointed to Consider Change of Name American Hoard of Foreign Mission. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ?.-Thc action of greatest importance taken to-day by the triennial Episcopal convention was th adoption by the House of Bishops by a vote of S7 to 21 of Canon which relates to the solemnization of marriage. All of Its provisions had previously been argued, except those contained in Section 4. which fcrbids the marriage cf persons divorced for any cause not existing before marriage. "For any caue not existing before marliage" is understood to refer to such cause us insanity, inability to execute a contract, the existence of a living wil'a or husband or like reasons, which practically render the marriage null and void. This section has been a bone of contention, a strong clement in tho church holding that the remarriage of the innocent party to a divorce granted on the ground of infidelity f-hould not be forbidden. The bishops, however, refused to accept this -lew of the matter. The eiucstion is by no means settled, aa the whole Mibject is now to come up in the House of Deputies, where it Is expected to cause a protracted debate. The canon, ns finally passed by the House of Bishops re ads: "Canon C: Of the Solemnization of Matrimony The solemnization of matrimony in this church l:i which the mutual consent of each party entering into this nsle of Ufa is given in the presence of u minister, who. having pronounced, in the name of thn Holy Trinity to le man a:;l wife, invoke the Divine blessing upon tin ir union. "2. The requirements f the laws of the State regarding the e-onditions ic the civil contract of marriage shall in all eise.- be carefully .bserved before the marriage is srolemnized. "J. No minister shall soimnlze the marriage of any per.-on wh is a minor under the law of the place if marriage, unb'ss the parent or guardian of such minor is present and consenting, or shall have gien written consent to the marriage or is permanently resident in a foreign country. No minister shall solemnize a marriar.e except in the presence f at least two witnesses, the minister or the wittM'sses being personally acquainted with the parties. Every minister shall, without delay, formally rexrd in the proper rcsistcr the name, age and residence of each party. Such record sh.dl be 1gn-d by the minister who performs the ceremony, and. If practie-able. by the married parties, and by at hast two witnesses of the marriage. 4. No minister shall solemnize h marriage between any two persons unless, nor until by inquiry he shall have satisfied himself, that neither person has be.n or is Ihe husband er the wife .f any mhor pernn then living, tiuh'ss the former manias. was annulled by a detree t,( sonp civil cot;rt for cause e xisting before rucii former inai r iaue." The bishops have yet to consider Canon C7. providing for. the discipline of p i ,,oas marrying alter having ) e u divorced. This will also cause iively discussion. Another important feature ef the work: of the House of Bishops to-day was th iippointme-nt of a committee of five to act villi similar committees of priests and laymen, constit m iti5r a joint committee .r lifteen, i;i c-onid rillte the proposed channo in tlie name of the church. The committee has no power to act. but is to reiMrt Its lindiiijkis at the General Convention to be held in Boston in P.d. Tlie House of Deputies adopted the report of the joint coininitt.-e em in;-rdnal readings, after .treeing to an amendment eliminating those reading which are original with the committee. The vote on the main proposition as amended was: Cleri-al Was. f,2 dioceses; nays, dioceses; eiitided. 1. Lay Yens. 4T dioceses; nays, C dioceses; divided, 2 dioceses. Tlie rejMirt as amended will now go hick to the House of Bishops for action on tb amendment. The House of Deputies will to-morrow take up the canon oa marriage and divorce. Both houses tmanimously selected Boston as the pi nee for holding the: next Biennial convention. A special committee of the House of Deputies submitted r .solutions in regard lo the lenth of President McKinley, whbii we re j unanimously adoptr.l t.y a standing vote. The resolutions follow: "Resolved. That the ger.er.il committee of the Protestant Epfeop.l Church, meeting in the city of San Francisco, herebv records its feeling of deep regret that so dastardly n e-rim. re sulted in the e-ath of .ur e hi. f magistrate. William Mc Kinley, md expretrlni of hope, that this common foitow may unite our people in a bond that may tend more and more to e xalt our kov Tium nt in truth and justice. Second, that the guilt of Ids assassination is aggravated from the fact that it is a nienaee to ttie American idea of law and respect for the country's rulers. Third, that we appreciate ihe conscientious ability of his public service, th beauty of his private life npd the nebl-J terse of his great faith. 1 it further "Besolvd. Thnt a e-ny of these resolutions be forwarded to Mrs. McKinley and to the Congre ss of the Fnited States." A general reception to the delegates was given to-night et the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. It was larcdy attended, nnd was or:- of the most brilliant .soeinl function? ever held in this city. The headquarters of the Women's Auxiliary wa thronged all daywith strangers. its well as resi'b-nts of the ritv. manv of whom were attracted by the fine display of work exhibited by the missions of all lands. The first er.ssion c-f the (iir"' Fnr.Vy Society were held to-day at Sh Luke's Church. roiu:iG missions. Report Snftniitted lo the American Hoard of Commissioners. HAUT FORD, Conn , Oct. P.-Rev.
