YEARS, WE ARE MAKING A Meridian St., Indianapolis, Ind, GREATER LOVE II AT II NO MAN. Word? Pronounced Above the Remains of En- gineer Clark, Who Died at the Throttle. Special to the Indlinspolls Journal. Danville. 111., Oct. IS. Special trains this forenoon arrived from Brazil, Terre II an to and Chicago, bringing a large num ber of railroad men, who cams to attend tho funeral of James It Clark, the engineer -who lost hislife at the throttle in the wreck at Crete this week, when three Chicago Inter Ocean representatives were likewise killed in the cab. Mr. Clark's family be longs to the Presbyterian ChuroJF, bnt as this denomination has no meeting houso while their costly new edifice is being erected, the First Methodist Church was tendered and accepted for the funeral. The Presbyterian pastor, Kev. Charles Lit tle, was assisted by the Methodist pastor. Her. Charles A. Crane. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity, all the standing room being occupied. The pall bearers were William Estes, JohnMcCall, George Hitchcock, James Callaghan, Con Sullivan and John Henderson. The casket was draped with dark cloth and silver mountings. A large number of beautiful floral offerings wert heaped aronnd the bier, from the different railroad orders, neighbors, and one from the Chicago Inter Ocean. Kev. Little said he had been requested to pronounce no eulogy, for the family and friends would pay the tribute in their hearts. . "Tho railroad men are the soldiers of to-day." said he. Their occupation is one so full of danger that laws should be enacted compelling the companies to use the best appliances and safest guards in order that the dangerous risks should be reduced to a minimum. 'Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down bis life for his friends.' Engineer Clark might have taken his chances and jumped from his engine, but there was his duty to the company and to tho passengers. The air brakes must be pnt on and the train stopped." The procession to the cemetery was the largest ever seen in this city. It was headed by eight hundred railroad men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, took charge of the remains after leaving the church, James Mather conducting the ceremony at the grave.

Mrs. Nellio Colbnrn Maynard'g fierai uiscences of the Martyred Lincoln. He Attended Uer Seances and Received Mes sages from tho Spirit Land Which, She Kays, the President Obeyed. White Plains, N. Y Oct. 18. In a work entitled "Was Abraham Lincoln a Spirit ualist!" Mrs. Nettie Colburn Maynard, of this city, makes some startling declara tions in regard to Mr. Lincoln's belief in supernatural communications. Sho states that in tho latter part of 1SG2, when she was a young girl and already gaining a reputation as a medium, she was in Wash ington and became acquainted with Mrs. Lincoln and a number of persons of prom inence who were attendant upon her seances, and through this means she came in contact with the Presi dent. Mrs. Lincoln induced her husband to attend one of Miss Colburn's seances, and on that occasion he was warned through the unccubcious medium cot to postpone his issuance of the emancipation proclamation. Those present were sur prised &nd asked Mr. Lincoln if any pres sure had been brought to bear to secure the deferment of the proclamation, and he replied that thore had been pressure of the strongest kind. He was much im pressed by the incident, and the proclama tion was shortly issued. Mrs. Lincoln obtained Miss Colbnrn a clerkship, and she remained in V ashing ton, frequently giving seances. The February following Mr. Lincoln was again present on one of these occasions. A spirit, through her, told the company that a precarious condition of things prevailed in the army, at tho front and threatened its usefulness. The President said: "Yon seem to under-', stand the situation; can you point the rem edyf" The spirit advised him to go to the front personally with his family and go among tho soldiers without ceremony, inquiring into their grievances and showing them that he was the father of his people. Mr. Lincoln said he would do as advised, and ho afterward did so with good results. At this seance Mr. Lincoln, together with D. E. Somera, Congressman, of Maine. Col. S. P. Kase, of Philadelphia, and others, sat on a piano, which was moved by the spirits, notwith standing their weight. When asked what he thought of the affair Mr. Lincoln was reticent, but stated freely that ho had not supposed the things communicated through the medium were known to any one but himself. Tho next timo Mr. Lincoln and Miss Col bnrn met was on tho dav of the battle of Chancellorsville. The President was very anxious, and at the suggestion of Mrs. Lin coln Miss Colburn invited and received word from the spirit land. It was to the effect that the Union forces were holding their own. The next day this was confirmed by tho ordinary ollicial advices. In the winter of 1SC2-C4 Mr. Lincoln was present at a seance, and the terrible condition of the f reedmen was made tho subject of a spiritual nomiuunica tion, the President being urged to appoint a committee to investigate the question, which he soon did. Gen. Daniel E. isickels was present at this seance. Mrs. Maynard states that during this winter she held seances attouded by Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, at the President's ap pointment, but as they were private and she was unconscious when the spirit communication came through her, sho does not know what was com municated, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Lincoln having told her aiterward what had oc curred. During the winter of 1&W-U5 Charles Colchester and Charles Foster, two well-known mediums, held seances for the l'resident. and through them, as well as thioughMiss Colburn, tho President was warned of his approaching fate, lie did not adtnit.however. that he placed any reliauco upon these prophecies. Beside the account given by tho writer of Mr. Lincoln's words and actions at seances sho gives many interesting reminiscences of Mr. Lincoln's general life, which she had many opportunities of observing. The writer is now the wife of William Porter Maynard and resides with him in this place. MURDEKED A lOLXG GIRL 1 Farm Hand Tries to Poison a Family and Then Kills 11 id Employer's Daughter. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 18. The body of Annie Koditz was found dead and half buried in stable refuse In her father's barn just outside of this city. To-day Albert Kohls, a boy eighteen years old, confessed that he killed Annie on Oct. 7. She was weak-minded, and only sixteen years old. Just before the girl disappeared the other members of tho Koditz family were taken violently ill after partaking of dinner, and it is supposed that Annie tried to poison the family. Kohls does not seem to realize that he has committed a crime. In his confession Kohls said he killed the girl for this reason: On the day of the murder he first put in the soup the family was to eat for dinner enough Paris green to kill a regiment. Mr. Koditz chanced to be in a hurry, and nte a plate of soup be fore the rest of tho family sat down to dinner. It made him sick, and he warned the rest of the family not to eat it. He had received such a big dose of Paris green that it a:ted as au emetic, and did not kill him. Otlicers were called to investigate, and questioned every member of the family but Annie. She had disappeared less than an hour before tho officers arrived, and they concluded that she had attempted to poison the famil- and lied. The boy said he killed tho girl by striking her on the head with a hammer. Ho had been sent to repair a hole in the bnrn lioor, and Annie was helpinir him. Whilo she was holding a board lor him to saw he struck her four times on tho head, threw her body through tho hole in the lloor, covered it with stable refuse, and nailed down the tloor. When the olhcers were investigating the poison ing they questioned Kohls. He stolidly told them hs thought sho had gone to the field to work. Kohls was employed as a I farmhand. NO MORE ROOM FOR PAUPERS England Most Look Elsewhere than in America to Colonize Iler Destitute. Hon. Horace Flunkett Comes to Study Onr Immigration Laws and Tells Commissioner Owen a Wceful Tale of Distress in Ireland. Parliament Wants to Believe Congested Districts by Sending tho Poor Here, But Its Envoy Is Informed that Uncle Sam's Gates Are Locked Against All Who Are Liable toEecome Charges on the Public. rAUFKRS NOT WANTED. Commissioner Owen Explain'. Our Immigra tion Laws to a lirlUh Envoy. Special to the Intllanar0 Journal. Washington. Oct. 18. Some months since tho Parliament of Great Britain passed a law in aid of the Irish tenantry, and looking to the relief of the congested distriots of Ireland. Under the provisions of that act tivo commissioners have been appointed in Ireland to seek out measures of relief for the destitute poor of Ireland. One of the commissioners, Hon. Horace Plunkett, has been detailed to the United States for the purpwe of inquiring into the immigration laws of this country, and es pecially why the late immigration law was passed, whioh Is so strongly prohibitive of the poor classes of tho old world coming in to the United Statos, and to inquire into the demands of labor in this country, and tho opportunities of securing homesteads in the United States. Mr. Plnnkett is ac companied in his travels by the Earl of Fingall. They have made a tour of the United States, traveling along the Union Pacific railroad, passing through Colorado, and a large section of our Western terri tory, looking into labor matters and the land question, and wero on the 14th inst. at thn Treasury Department in consultation with the Superintendent of Immigration. Mr. Plunkett says that Ireland has lost one-half of her population in the last fifty years, and yet sections of that country are 60 taken up with baronial castles aud the preserves of the lords, that the land left to the labor men, and out of which the tenantry must make a livingis so limited In quantity and so sterile inits soil that itis hardly possible for these peoplo to raise crops that will so much as pay the rents. On tho western shores ot Ireland dwell half a million of peoplo on holdings where the soil is exhausted, They are confessedly unable to raise snQlcient to meot family needs, and are relying on tho poor rates ot the country. The proposition under the new law is to combine four, five or six of these holdings into one, so that one family will bo able to maintain itself profitably; but the trouble arises as to what will be come of the four or rive families thus dis possessed. There is no place in Ireland for them to go to; Entnd won't have them, t and Mr.' Plunkett and the Earl are in' America seeking an interpretation of our immigration laws that will permit these people to be transported to America. NO WORK IN THE FACTOKY D18TPJCTS. The manufacturers of Ireland are so limited that the people diiposessed of lands are unable to earn a living. They cannot go to the iron factory districts for employ ment, and they cannot go to England, for the factory districts in England are now on thevergoof bread riots. Mr. Plunkett hoped that it would be possible to pre empt large sections of land in the far West, and locato his peoplo there, or to lind sections of the country whero there was great scarcity of labor, and ship these people to those sections, with arrange ments made with contractors so that they could be given employment at once and not become public charges. Mr. Plunkett frankly stated that the hitherto unsatis factory condition of the people of Ireland was rapidly approaching that of real want, and neccessitated governmental action on their behalf; that thero was no place for them on the continent of Europe, and no place for them in England, their mother country refusing to accept them, or to lot them set up housekeeping so they could have their own homos; that South America could oiler no inducements to feed them in their condition, and the United States presented the only possible hope for them ou the izlobe. Superintendent Owen told Mr. Plunkett that thirty years ngo the people of this country sang that Unuclo Sam was "rich enough to give us all a farin." and that it was believed the territory of the United States was practically inexhaustible, but the building of tnree railways across tho continent had resulted in towns every few miles along these roads, and splendid cities in many instances. Branch roads wero projected from tho main lines, until the whole countrr was now pierced and in terlaced with railroads, until what was twenty years ago a desert, is to-day a popu lated region. An empire of people now live beyond the Mississippi river, and -the rush of Americau people for free home steads in the United States, where the ranidly-developing country enhanced the value of lands and afforded opportunities for rnoney-makius:, had been 6o great that the public laud is now practically con sumed, so that a few months since, when the President of tho United States de clared eleven thousand homsteads in Okla homa open to entry for whoever should first settle on them after 13 o'clock on a given day. there were five times as many men on the border line at 12 o'clock that day, awaiting the stroke of the clock to rush into that land, as there were holdings. The result was many conflict, and in some instances bloodshed, and four men out of every live were disappointed. Till: PEOPLE WOULD TKOTEST. In the Commissioner's opinion the na tional or even the municipal effort on the part of foreign people to come to this coun try and colonize a large section of the pub lic domain would rosult in an emphatic protest from the American people. He said there was a demand for labor in many sec tions of our country, yet the Commissioner of Labor recently reported more than half a million of men in the United States out of labor. This is because we ure so rapidly developing as a country that we are not yet able to equalize our supply and de mand: but when our laborers could be di verted to the fields of demand, the proba bilities were that we had sufficient people in our country to supply all our labor wants. The Superintendent said there was aris ing protest in this country against immi gration: that the law passed last winter sought to divide the desirable from tho un desirable, and let the desirable in and keep out the undesirable; that when the Bureau of Immigration was fully established he believed this end would be achieved, but there was a strong sentiment in this conn try for more restrictive legislation than this law, and what Congress might do this coming winter could only be a matter of conjecture. Personally, he believed that every man who was dissatisfied with the conditions of the old world and came to America to escape those conditions, and with a determined purpose to build a home in the new country and become one of its citizens in deed and in fact, should and would havo no hand of opposition raised nsain&t him. but he was satisfied that if the people of Ireland, or elsewhere, sought to move their congested districts by whole sale to this country, who had been under the caro of the poor officers for years, that their coming would meet general opposi tion and they ought not to seek to come. for under tho law of Ibyl they would not ue permitted to land. ihe Superintendent expressed himself in hich regard for tho Irish character. Ho mentioned the fact that twenty thousand Irishmen bore arms in the revolutionary struggle for the colonists. In the wars of 1812 and lSlCand in the war of the rebel lion the Irishman had always beeu found a patriot; that no foreign cluss assimilated with American life more ranidlv. nor had contribnted more for the upbuilding of this country: that tho Irishmen in America were rapidly ceasing to bo hewers of wood and drawers of water, but were moving up m tho scale of American citizenship and no hand would be raised to keep any Irishman from America, coming with the spirit of the fathers that came before them, yet an organized eftbrt to plant tho surplus people of a congested and pauper district in tho United States would not be looked upon with favor by tho American people. Governor Steele's- Resignation. Special to tho Indlanspolls Jouroal. WAsniNGTON.Oct. 18. The information in to-day's press dispatches that Maj. George W. Steele had resigned his position as Gov ernor of Oklahoma created no surprise here.

Clifton Forgo Lynchers in Anns to Repel an Expected Attack by Negroes. Staunton, Va., Oct. 18. A gang of col ored men engaged in mining, having been paid Saturday, appeared in Clifton Forge during the day under the influence of liquor and were boisterous and disorderly, threatening to take the town. A posse un d?r command of the town sergeant rent to arrest them. They resisted and moved otf in the direction of Iron Gate, a mile and a half distant. Tho posse fol lowed, when tho negroes turned and com menced firing. The shots were returned. One whito man. P. A. Boiling, a railroad brakeman, was instantly filled; a white man named Wilkinson was seriously in- Iured and one negro dangerously wounded, 'our of tho negroes were arrested ana taken to Clifton Forge. About 2 o'clock this morning about one hundred men met and determined to take the prisoners from the jail and lynch them. By tho use of axes and crow-bars the doors were opened and the negroes taken out. A boy sixteen years old was released, and the other three were taken to a tree a short distance from town and hanged. Thero is considerable excitement there to-night over the rumored uprising of the negroes, in consequence of tb lynching, and Mayor Bowles has telegraphed Gov. Mc Kinney to send troops there as a meas ure of precaution. The reports caused a suspension of services at the Clifton Forge churches to-night. There are large num bers of negroes at the mines of that sec tion. A later dispatch says tbe entire town is in arms, and pickets are posted on every out skirt. A squadron of men are on their way from Eoncevelte, Va., and will arrive at 11 r. m. There has been no distinct indica tion of an outbreak, but tbe greatest ex citement prevails. PRICE PCT ON flIS HEAD. Reward of $30,000 for Garza, the Mexican Revolutionist, Dead or Alive. San Antonio, Tex., Oct 18. The capture of Catarino L. Garza, tho leader of the rev olution now in progress in the northern states of Moxico, has not yet been effected, although President Diaz has offered a re ward of $:JO,0CO to any one who will take him, dead or alive. It has been a difficult matter to receive authentic information concerning the movements of the bold invader during tho past week, but the report reached here Iato last night that ha was in the immediate vicinity of Piedras Negras. Mexico, with an army of several hundred well-armed men. Tbe Mexican government is rushing troops to to that section by the hundreds, and will make overy effort to bring the uprising to an end. Thero is great alarm felt among the citizens on both sides of the Hio Grande border. That Gurza has not yet given up his wild undertaking is showu by a stirring manifesto which he has just issued, and which is being distributed in all the cities of the republic through his secret agents. FOUGHT LIKE WILD ANIMALS. Scratching, Clothes-Tearing and Hair-Palling Match Between Female Prisoners. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct 18. It has just leaked out that a free-for-all fight occurred among the female prisoners at the Clare inont work-house last Thursday night Two women in the laundry department had a quarrel, which resulted in an incipient riot, friends of both women interfering and taking opposite sides. The prisoners fought each other fiercely, scratching one another, tearing each other's clothes nearly oft and pounding an adversary wherever an open ing ocenxred. The three matrons in charge could do nothing with the women, who fought like wild animals. Half a dozen male officers of the prison were finally sum moned by a matron who succeeded in es caping from the room, and tbe bellicerents were placed In dungeons. Duriugthe night two of the worst prisoners, Maud Hutchi son and Mamie White, escaped from their cell, their door being carelessly left un locked. They scaled a twenty-foot wall to liberty and have not yet been apprehended. Mrs. Thurinnn'i Funoral. CoLUMnus, O., Oct IS. The funeral of Mrs. Allen G.

IMMENSE HOSIERY-MILLS Established Under the McKinley Law to Torn Out Fashionable Footwear. Special to the Indlanspolls Journal Fokt Wayne, Ind., Oct 18. It is not generally known that this city promises to become the great center of hosiery business for tho United States, but this is really the case. That, however, does not tell half the story. One of the wise provisions of the McKinley law was to fix a tarifl on cer tain styles of hose not manufactured in this country, but which it was declared could and would be produced here after a fair duty had been placed on tho im ported article. As a result of that duty, the Wayne knitting-mills have been started in this place. Should the industry prove successful it will induce a number of people to come here from Germany with their machines, and the business will rapidly develop into a great enterprise. As was said before, this is a direct result of tho McKinley law, and will ere long afford em ployment to a large number of skilled workmen. The goods to be turned out are known to the trade by the sober title of 'fnll-fash-ion" hose, which at once suggests to the feminine mind a brilliant array of dazzling ahem! what-you-may-call-ems, decorated with van-colored bars, stripes, checks and zig-zags affected by fastidious Parisian boulevardiennes. These goods have here tofore been Imported at a cost that pre cluded the possibility of possession except by the wealthy. With tho American in dustry well started, the price will soon be within the reach of all. There are now in this city twenty-five imported skilled mechanics, with their families, to look after the more important features of tbe work, and assist in teaching tho trade to American workmen. Three of the honse machines which are to be used at the homes of the employes of the knitting-mills have arrived. No duty wan paid upon them, as the Treasury Department has stated that any man can bring to this country the tools and implements used in his trade, duty free.

Mrs. Ann A, Dodge, an Inmate of the poor-house of this city, and eighty years of age, received no tice yesterday that she was heir to an es tate worth 8,000,000 in England. The story dates back two centuries, at which time her great-grandfather on her mother's side owned a vast estate near London. His oldest son came to America, settling and marrying in Virginia.

Five years ago an article appeared in an English paper telling of tho estato and tho lost heirs, and the fact that tho estate was in the hands of a pubiio administrator. Mrs. Dodge became convinced that it was her family history that was related. She laid tbe case before a relative named Ross, recently of Minneapolis, and he went to London to investigate the matter. He re turned an encouraging letter, but since then nothing has been heard from him and it is not known where he is. Then she placed tbe matter in the hands of her nephew, William T. Coleman, a wealthy canning manufacturer of Sen Francisco. Meanwhile she came to Bntte to visit her daughter. Mrs. Charles Ragsdale. She was taken sick, and accommodations not being good at the miner's cabin, she was taken to the poor-house.

For the past six weeks the Republican State central com mittee has been making efforts to persuade John J. Ingalls to stump the State in tbe interests of tbe party, but all to no pur pose. This morning the Topeka Capital, the official State paper and Republican organ, which has for years supported Senator In galls. after asking the question, "What is Senator Ingalls doing for the party that honored him so many years!'' says that he has done nothing. The article con tinues: "That he is not a leader to-day is more due to the supreme egotism and cold-blooded selfishness of the man than to his lack of ability, forgetting the grand, self-sacrificing fight of his party, tbatwent down to defeat with him. This supreme worshiper of himself turned his back upon the political friends of a quarter of a century, as well as upon those who laid aside their convictions against him and gave him a loyal support No man in American history was over 60 greatly hon ored for the single talent of sarcastio ora tory. Ho has had great opportunities, and has most signally failed as u leader, politi cian, friend. To day in Kausas tho ex-Scn-ator is neither miesad nor regretted."

JOHN HAIL HAS RESIGNED America's Famons Presbyterian Divine . Quits Union Seminary Directorate. His Own Friendship and that of nil Sort fcr Frofessor Bribes, tbe Allied Heretic; Said to Have Influenced Hit Action. Review of tbe Proceedings of tho Ecu menical Methodist Conference. Marked Contrast Between the Present Gather leg and the First Council The Discussion on Women, Unity and Other Topics. DR. JOnN HALL RESIGNS. Left tbe Directorate of Union Theological Seminary on Account of Dr. Drier. New York, Oct IS. Dr. John Hall has resigned from the directorate of the Union Theological Seminary. At tho request of several of his fellow-directors Dr. Hail has consented to remain with tho board until November, when the annnal meeting of the board is to be held. At that time the resig nation will bo acted upon. Until then hi will remain nominally in tho board. Dr. Hall has long been greatly trouble on account of tho Briggs matter, and his resignation was expected by tho conserra fives. One of the etanchest friends of Dr. Briggs is Dr. Hall's son Thomas, a preacher in Chicago: Dr. Hall has been intlucnced greatly by his son's attachment to the al leged heretic When the Briggs case came np in the presbytery Dr. Hall, according to a statement printed to-day, avoided voting by absenting himself from tho meeting. The Briggs men elect ed him a commission er to the General Assembly. Had he gone ho would have been its moderator. Ho again avoided committing himself by surrender ing his commission. Later, when the case was discussed by the directors of theUciorl he withdrew, it is stated, just as the direct ors were on tho point of voting. After his return from abroad Dr. Hall bet gan an effort to quiet the prosecution of Dr. Briggs in tho interest of peace and har mony in the church. He mustered a strong peace party that would certainly have car ried the presbytery at its meeting two weeks ago, and stopped the trial of Dr. Briggs. Just as Dr. Hall arose in the presbytery to present his plan the lloor was secured by young Dr. George Alexander, who presented an independent peace prop osition that had been concocted by himself and Dr. Charles L. Thompson. The debate that followed was bitter. Dr. Hall was forced from his position, and when the roll was called his vote was' cast against the compromise. As the Alexander motion was lost by a vote of C4 to 62, Dr. Hall's retire ment was fatal. Following this meeting of tho presbytery; Dr. Hall's purpose to leave the directorate of Union Seminary was formed. A special meeting of the directorato was held last Friday, at Brown Brothers' banking-house. In Wall street. It was attended by nearly all the directors, and Dr. Hall there made known tbe fact of his resignation. The special meeting was called to prepare for the conference on the Briggs trouble, with President-Pat tou'js. committee, appointed by the last General Assembly for that pur pose. The day agreed upon by Dr. Pat ton and President Butler was Oct 3. That date being near at hand, and the question of the seminary's relation to tbe church so deli cate, the eficct of Dr. Hall's resignation was greatly dreaded by the directors. Ho was persuaded to remain with the seminary until after its conference with Dr. Patton's committee, and to have his resignation acted upon at a- regular meeting of tho board. Dr. Hall's relationship to Union has been of long standing and of great value to the institution.. He is not only pastor of the richest Presbyterian church in America, but he is a preacher of tbe greatest intel lectual power in the denomination. Hit fame abroad is greater than that of any other American preacher. His name in Union Seminary's directorate gave tho school great prestige. For years his pres ence in the board of directors has been a shield to Dr. Briggs. Had it not been for his assurance that tho Professor's instruc tion was not dangerous, action would have been begun in the presbytery against Dr. Briggs years ago. A preliminary catalogue is about to be issued by the faculty. This gives the names of the students. The Junior class contains forty-three men, six Ices than last year. Eight men are dropped out of tho senior class, but their places are taKen by seven new seniors. The middlo class is about the samo as last year. About a dozen of the beneficiaries have been notified by tho presbyteries to leave tho seminary ou account of tbe Briggs trouble. They have decided to remain. The deficiency in their supply of funds, cut off by their action, is Ltug made good by one of the wealthy di rectors of the seminary. Dr. Hastings has received otters of assistance from many churches of the United States for any student whose presbytery should desert him at this time. rlhese,Dr. Hastings states, havo all been declined. TOE METHODIST CONFERENCE. Proceedings Reviewed and Dissected by a Layman Scope of Subjects. Bpeclal Correspondence cf the IcdUnapoUs Journal. Washington'. Oct. 17. As this gTeat con ference approaches its closo there will be a widespread demand for soma estimate of what its results are likely to be. To form such an estimate, one must consider, first, the composition of the body and tho limi tations imposed upon it Those who have expected it to formulate any echeme of legislation, or who havo thonght that it might commit Methodism, either as a whole or in its various parts, to any course contrary to present usage, must bear in mind that it has no power to do this. Its functions are purely deliberative and advisory. It may recommend a variety of things, if only it can agree upon them, but the adoption or rejection of what is sag gested is a matter which, by common con sent, has been left not with this ecumen ical conference, but with the law-making bodies of the no less than twenty-eight churches which are taking part in this gathering. Another limitation is in the rule which stipulates that no vote shall bo taken upon any question atfecting the in ternal arrangementsof any of these twenty eight churches. Without such a provieo as this an ecumenical conference 'could not have been held, and the reader will readily see that, with such a proviso in force, the body, besides being denuded of legislative powers, is also restricted, to a very material extent, in even its deliberative aud advis ory prerogatives. Contrasting this with the first ecumen ical, held ten years ago, one is Mruck with the remarkable progress indicated. In the former the representatives of thedifiercnt churches remained to the closo at arm's lengthiromeacbotber. They werelike long lost brothers, who, when first meeting, aro sure to bo polite, and are certain to use many kind expressions, but who can havo little communion for eome time because, notwithstanding tho tie of brotherhood, they are still so little known to each other. This was how it was ut that first ecumenical. The proceedings were highly proper, and tho intercourse, as far as it went, was sincere enough, bnt there was littlo llowiug together of soul, little warmth, and as to the desiro for union, which has been sooftenandsoemphatically expressed In this gathering, such a desire though feebly uttered now and then by cr
