CHRISTIAN IN POLITIC
Addresses at the Conferenc3 of the
Washington Gougregationalists.
Dr lUIh-irtine Believed Every ClirU-
llnii.SIiouId Enter Politic In Order
to Purify the Institution.
At41ic conclusion of j ehterday afternoon's
session r tlic Washington conference of
Conwl3tuonaI Churches, which had con
vened in the morning, an adjournment was
taken to the regular June meeting.
In the afternoon, after devotional exer
cise, llev. Dr II. W- Balteiillne spofce on
The Christian in Polities." He believed
that every Christian should go into politics
and tul:e an active interest m public affairs.
But he did not mean politics of the kind
ordinarily meant, or the means used; but
to purify the institution aud to further the
cause of good government.
Prof. Kwell.of Howard University; Deacon
23. P Davis, and others took part In the
discussion of the bubjeet, and agreed with
Dr. Ballentincs views.
Br W. A. Duncan, oue of Uie traveling
secretaries of the Kuiiday-fcchool Society,
tvho has just come from a mission lour in
the South, made an address m which he
said more money was needed to be applied
lor general and Sunday-school education
among the poor and ignorant youth of that
section, and pointed out what an elevating
influence on the citizenship such work
would have. He is an earnest, forcible and
eloquent talker.
About the "Christian Endeavor conven
tion of '96," which is to be held in Wash
ington, J- B Sicman, jr., spoke of Its
prospects, making a pretty word picture
of 60,000 Endeavorers filling the streets
of tbccilj and in the tents or the convention.
M. M Ehand spoke of the convention's
needs, such as the good will of the people
and financial assistance. He staled that
of the $25,000 to be raised here, $10,000
must come from the churches and $15,000
from "Washington business men.
Dr. S. SI. Newman, on its results, which
will be manj, one of which will be to im
press the people with the great size of
the movement- He predicted that the con
Tentlou witl draw 60,000 people to this
city, which will be the largest convention
of any kind ever held.
Bev E. T. Boot preached. His sermon
dealt with the fact that God Is in every
thing; the laws of nature and science being
but the expression of His will.
The conference concluded with the ob
servance of the communion, 300 people
present taking the sacrament of the Lord-s
8 upper.

SOLDIER I8JE SENATE
Military Appropriation Bill Occu
pied&veral Hours.
HILL AND PEFFER COLLIDED
AfeKsrs. Hawley and Allen Al.o Ex
changed Some Toii-Courteleh Mr.
Teffer Called Up His Bond Jmuo
Inquiry Scheme and That Led to
a Small "War- of Words.
Iu the Senate after the cloe of the morn
ing hour "the military appropriations and
invalid pensions bills were passed.
The latter was rushed through in a very
few minutes. Mr. Gorman took time to &ay
that all these appropriation biilh weie hang
ing over the Treasury like a black pall.
There was. not at the present time levenue
enough to meet them, and the piotpectt
were that there would be still larger de
ficiencies. The military appropriations bill took
up nearly all the afternoon after the morn
ing hour.
The pending question was an amendment
offered by Mr. Vilas, Dem., Wisconsin, to
increase by lilnet j the number or West Point
cadets.
VACANCIES IN THE GRADE.
Mi. Sewell, Hep., New Jen-ey, offered an
amendment to" tile effect that the President
ma appoint to vacancies in the grade of
second lieutenants meritorious non-comniis-sloticd
orricers of the Army, when recom
mended according to the provisions of the
act of 1878, although graduates of the
Military Academy may remain in service
unassigned.
In discussing this amendment Mr. Nel
son, Hep., Minnesota, expressed his sym
pathy In behalf of the soldier as agaiustthe
West Pointer. Mr. Cleveland had, lie -aid,
.secured the respect of the country for the
Interest he had taken in the private soldier,
a number of cases in point being cited by
Mr. Nelson.
The discussion was interrupted to re
ceive the urgent deficiency bill from the
House and its request for a conference.
The Senate insisted upon its amendments,
antl the request for a. conference was
granted, Messrs. Hale, Allison and Coekrell
being appointed managcroon the part of the
Senate.
APPLY TO ENLISTED MEN.
Discussion of the pending bill being re
sumed, Mr- Allen. Pop., Neb., urged that
the amendment be made to apply to non
commissioned officers and enlisted men.
Mr. Hawley, Rep., Conn.,"chalrnian of the
Military Affairh Committee, remarked that
tills was. unnecessary, because non-eoniiiils-sioued
officers were enlisted men.
"The Senator from Connecticut Is not
shedding an light on this subject," said
Mr. Allen curtly.
"Well, light is needed when jou arc talk
ing," retorted Mr. Hawley.
"It is not needed in this direction,"
replied Mr. Allen acrimoniously, "from any
source in your direction."
After Mr. Vilas had discussed the ques
tion some lime, Mr Gorman, Hem., Md.,
entered the debate. Hethoughtthlswasan
Important piece of general legislation and
ought to-be considered thoroughly and in a
beparate bill.
The amendment of Mr. Vilas was then
defeated by a i ote of 7 to 24 , and the bill
as reported by the committee was then
passed. The invalid pensions bill was then
taken up aud passed.
PEPPER'S UOND INQUIRY.
The resolution heretofore offered l)y
llr. Peffer, Pop., Kansas, for a select
committee to inquire into the circum
stances of the recent bond issue v. as laid
before the Senate.
Mr. Sherman, Rep.. Ohio, said that he
considered it desirable, whenever charges
of impropriety were made against gov
ernment officials, that an inquiry should
be made, but that inquiry shou".d be made
through one of the regular committees
of the Senate. He therefore moved the
reference of the resolution to the Finance
Committee.
Mr. Pelfer opposed the motion and ar
gued In favor or the resolntiou. He made
no charge, lie said, against the Prcs.dent
or the Seerctary or the Treasury. They
had been over-reached try bold, bad. dan
gerous speculator, who preyed upon the
substance of the peopje.
Mr Stewart, Pop.. Nevada, sa:d that if
the bonds had been sold in the usual way
they would have brought a much larger
price. He declared that their issue Had
no authority of law, that there was uo
necessity for it, and that it was cruel
at this time because it locked up the money,
of the people.
MR. HILL OPPOSED IT.
Mr. nill, Dem., New York, was opposed,
from the information he had, to any in
vestigation of the ..subject, either by the
Finance Committee or by a select com
mittee. He did not agree with Mr. Sherman, that
every time there was an idle rumor in
the newspapers, or some vague and in
definite charges against public men, the
Senate should make haste to empower,
either a select committee or a standing
committee, lo investigate it-
It had been said that the public was
curious to learn all about the late bond
i6sue. But was the Senate to institute an
investigation merely to satisfy the curiosity
of the people? Was that worthy or such a
great body? Had not the Senate experienced
enough when, at the instance or the same
persons who were asking for this investi
gation, It dignified immaterial matters by
a serious investigation? (meaning the sugar
investigation.) Had any Senator made a
charge in the present case?
"I make a charge now," Mr. Stewart
Interposed.
"The Senator will make no charge now,"
said Mr. Hill. "I will not yield to the
Senator to make a charge now. It comes
rather late. I was speaking of the author
of this resolution."
Mr. Tillman, Dem., S.C.madeanattempt
to get into the discussion; but Mr. Dill
declined to yield to him either. "Although,"
said he, "I would yield to him as quickly as
to any Senator in this chamber."
Defaulting Bond Bidders.
Secretary Carlisle will probably announce
today bis decision as to whether he will
award the defaulted bonds to J. P. Morgan.
Several defaulting bidders are reported to
have been found In St. Louis and Chicago,
but there are other sub-treasuries where re
ports are not yet in and until all are heard
from no decision in the matter will be an
nounced. .Fee of an Informer.
TheTreasury has paid aninformer $1,000
as his one-third share of a fine imposed on
alOiodc Islaud manufacturer who imported
twenty-eight men under contract to work
in his factory.

Gentxemen: wish to state to you and those suffering
with Rheumatism that I was suffering- badly from an at
tack of Rheumatism, I was off of my feet three days. From
the time I began to take your I. Rj. C, which I was recom
mended to get, I was walking, and in one week I was out
tending- to my business. I would not be in the house with
out it for the,orld. I have been suffering for about seven
years from that -'disease, and have tried everything that I
ever heard of,, but Tour medicine excels all.
Respectfully yours, John Young,

The people of America, no less than the
publishers of the Encyclopaedic Dictionary,
are to be congratulated uiion the happy re
sult o this ast educational enterprise; the
rormer because of the grand opporiuut
afforded tosecure a work oralnum priceless
educational value at a merely nominal cot;
and the huter because a sharp campaign or
onlv a few months has placed their worlc at
the very head of all coatemporary publica
tions of Its kind and established it firmly as
one of the few standard reference books
or the world.
