THE ROIAN CATHOLIC CH lRCH.
A Lively DIsunusion Before a Meeting of
Baptist MInll ter In New York-An An
Imated lession and a Variety of
Opinons.
NEW YonK, May 7.--I)r. 'l'enbroack drew
out a lively discussion in a meeting of the
Baptist ministers, by reading an essay on the
Roman Catholic Church. lie held that the
Church of Rome would be influenced not
through any principles of the Church itself
but through the light dawning upon the
hearts of the people and the Roman Catholic
idea of imperialism, not republicanism in re
ligious affaire.
Brother Hodden astonished the assemblage
by saying: "I don't believe true reform be
gins with Baptists and enl ls with them." He
found much good in the Roman Catholic
Church.
Brother Holmes vehemently exclaimed: "I
long ago stoplpd talking against IRomnan
Catholics. I don't condemn them. They
have a great deal of God's truths in them
and with them."
Brother Taylor thought the true ('hrstian
Church had stxxit out against Rome ever
since the days of the apostles, and the Roman
Catholic, instead of being the mother church,
was an offshoot from the true Christlans.
Brother Sampson said the Pope was losing
control of the Churcl, and is being regarded~
as merely the moral head of the institutioa.
A voice--'Pope 'Plus was a grand old hero;
I admired him."
Brother Rhodes said there must he a re
formed Catholic Church, like tile IReformued
Episcopal.
Brother Fox made an earnest appeal in be
half of what he term(ed the goal people who
embraced the Roman Catholic faith. lie had
known priests and members of the Roman
Catholic Church who were just as good and
did just as much for the cause of Christianity
as any Protestant clergyman had ever done.
Catholics were noted for going about doing
good. Their charitable works were proverbial.
Brother Reed read a quotation from the
seventeenth chapter of Revelations, which he
thought plainly foretold the downfall of the
Roman Catholle Church.
A voice: "A Catholic said in a Sunday
school the other day that all Protestant~
would go to hell."
Another voice: "Some of us Baptists say
all Catholics will be damnred."
Brother Tenbrocck thought it not surpris
ing that the Irish Catholics hated I'rotes
tants, as English Protestants had terrib)ly
oppressed Roman Catholics in Ireland.

NEw YORK, May 7. The HI rel'.'s Wash

`The movements of the people who c(all

attention here, but it is not yet believed that
they alone are strong enough to accomplish

lIEL.r.EVibnraE, Ill., May 7. -Seriouu appre
hensions are felt that the trouble in the coal
mines in this neighborhoxol, where nearly
4001) miners are on a strike, will end In scenes
of violence, and this feeling has been greatly
aggravatesd by the discovery that cornmmnulst
agents from St. Louis have been among the
miners, counseling thrm to remain firm and
enforce their rights. The strike has been in
operation for three weeks, and originated In a
demand for increased pay or for living wagers.
The coal operators have hisn paying the
men from one to one and a half .cents ler
bushel, and at this rate the men assert that
they cannot live. They also say that the
operators have cheated thern in various ways.

THE BAAIS OF CONTINUED PEACE.
What the Powers Will Demand of Rus

LONDON, May 7. The p:ace feeling Is gain
Ing in England. It is believed that diplo
macy will settle the Eastern question. fTie
powers have agreedl upon the basis of the ar
rangement wnlih will he submitted to the
Czar, and if ae'-,pted there will be no war.
The arrangement comprises five divisions:
1. The powers propose that the two re
glonf of Bulgaria situated north of the Bal
kans shall Nt conceled to Russia. The south
ern portion of Bulgaria shall remain to a
great. extent under the authority of the Sul
tan. The northern area, which is to b. e~leed,
has been for some, time past semi-indepen
dent, although nominally under Turkish rule.
2. The Asiatic compensations shall be re
duced to a minimum.
The third relates to the straits, and will be
arranged hereafter, when more important
issues are successfully disposel of.
4. Demands a detinite settlement of the
war indemnity.
h . Proposes that The.saly and Epinrs shall
have the right of self-governmient, thus se
curing for them the protection of Europe and
their national independence.

THOSE IRIH INVADERS.
The Number Ready to Go to Canada Now
Placed at 90,000 Well-armed Men.
ITBFFALO, N. Y., May 7. The telegram
from this city relative to a contempleted Fe
nian invasion of Canada in the event o,f war
between England and Russia, created con
siderable '-niation here. Many discredit
any such Quixotic scheme, but in an interview
with some of the leading Irish residenrts the
fact has been a.sc.rtained, beyond doubt, that
such an lnvasion will be attertmpt.ld, and al-,
that there area large number of mrnn drilling
nightly in various localities of this city and
other cities, and when the time comres for ac
tion there will be a force fully competent to
strike a decid.d blow, well armedr and
equiopedx with tree most improved weapons of
warfare. It is their d.e-ign to prevent a repe
tition of the abortive invasion of 5I ;, and the
attempt will not be made until everything is
in readiness for success.
Some estimate the force actually drilling at
90,000 men throughout the country.
One of the most influential Irlebman of this
eity states that it is the intention of tbe Irish
