missioners, There seem to lo great confusion among
persons not well ncqunlnted with the dif
ferent Ilaptlst clmiches In the city ns to
their names ami locutions. Strungers h.io
been put to n Brent doul of trouble, ex
pense nnd nnnojnnec by being wrongly di
rected by street c.ir condttctois unit others
who have not taken Interest enough to
ascertain the exact locations ot tho vari
ous Ilaptlst churches. Almost Invariably
ono seeking the First Hnptlt ehnrch of
Kansas, City, Kns., will be dlreeteil to Hie
Third Ilaptlst church at Sixth and Ne
braska or to the First Ilaptlst chinch of
Armoiirdale on South Mill street, between
Kansas and Shawnee avenue..
Tho First Hnptlst church of Kansas City,
Kns., existed long before Armoiirdale and
"Wjnniloltc were consolidated with Knnns
City, Ka. For a long time the l'lrst Ilap
tlst church was cnoneously called the
"Wood Street Ilaptlst church," on account
of Its being sltuntcd on Wood street.
The church was organised In 1S7J In the
West bottoms of Kansas City, Mo, A few
years later the organisation was mocd to
old Kansas City, Kns., nnd chartered ac
cording to the laws of the state of Kansas
on rebruary 12, 1ST", as "The First Ilaptlst
church of Kunns City, Kns," Finally,
crowded out by i.illroads and business en
terprises, (ho mgaiiUatlnn moved across
the K.iw rlor Into lllvcrvlcw, procured nn
clog. ml luo.it Ion mid built a neat liousu of
worship at an epenso of nearly $H,000.
Thus the original Klrst Ilaptlst chinch of
Kansas City, Kax., Is located on the north
east coiner of Itldge ncnuc and Nurth
Eighth street in Itlvervlew.
TWO YOUTIII'lHi PIUSONI.HS.

Washington, Jan. !. At 2.1 p nt. to
day Secretary Carlisle arrived nt the enp.
Kol and held a consultation with Speaker
Crisp In the hitler's room on the subject
of the defeat of the current bill Mr.
Carlisle, It Is understood, was very urg
ent In his request for an jnuueitliito i rfort
to resurrect the moiiiire.N
Secretary Carlisle remained In the speak
er's private olllce for nn hour, totiferrlfiK
with the house lenders on the effect of tho
loversc sulTereil by the currency bill. He
sides Mr. Carlisle nnd Ml, Crisp theit
were present Messrs. ditchings uml tlutli
wnltc, of the rules ronimlltee;.Mr Spilng
ei, who has bet n lu rhiiige of the bill;
Mr. Hull, of Missouri, of the current':,
committee, and Mr. Tucker, of Virginia
The talk pirtook somewhat of the nature
of a conference ns to whit course nt ne
Hon should be pursued In view of the
unexpected turn of arfalrs,
Mr. Carlisle maintained his usual com
posure and gave no Indication that he felt
rather chagrined On the cniitrnrv, he
spoke Jocularly nf itepresentatlve Slblev'i
sensational speech jeslerdtiy anil snld ho
Would like In know whom he hud "bribed
with a levenuo cullectorshlp," its Sibley
bad alleged.
The secretary expressed regret that the
rule had been defeated and he shared thu
opinion of others present that tho defeat
cined the prospects of the bill In Its
present form The result was n gtii-ir'sc
to him, for the secretary had not shared
the doubts of the house lenders up to tho
tlmo of the vote. He expected niiwnd
menls would be suggested that would
overcome the opposition of certain ;"
menls and make the passage of tho bill
possible. Now Mr. Carlisle agrees Willi
the house lenders: that It was desirable to
let the bill rest for n lime Ho did not
suggest uny new meustne or any ni.itTliI
changes lu the piesenl bill It appeari-1 tn
be the Idea, however, that efforts should
be directed toward learning the objections
of those Democrats who 1ml voted as.il'Ht
the rule, lu order that these objections
might be overcome If possible
After the confeienco Mr. Springer snld
tint, while some concessions might bo
mule lu the Interest or harmony, no con
cession could be made un the basis of
giving the silver men everything they
wanted.
"If Mr. Hlnnd nnd his friends will not
glvo us their nsslstancc except on condl
Hon of silver at a i.itlo of Pi to 1, then
they must shoulder the responsibility cf
the defeat nf all leglsl itlon, ns no such
compromise Is possible,"
Mr lllaiitl's Opinion.
Hepresentatlve Hiatal, the exponent nf
the silver element of the house, who ailed

It ends the possibility of anv legislation

The views of Mr. lllind 'ind his asso
ciates led many members to believe the
leverse of tn-ilny might jet be turned In
to victory bv making concessions to the
silver men Their votes would be ninth
mmv than suillelent to eairv the ruin nnd
the bill. It would he such a radical step,
however. In bringing silver Into the ques
tion that the consei v-atlve men did not re-g-uil
tho plan as feasible It was, how
ever, tho main topic of prospective action.
On th Hepiibliein side the opinion was
general Hint the defeat of the rule ended
all chance for euneney legislation In this
congress, Mr. Iteod would not enter Into
a detailed tilM"ii"slon on the turn of nfTairs.
ItepiesoiilntlveNTr.o ey (Dem., N. Y) said:
"It Is evident th it, ns this house Is made
up, no effort can be mado to Improve finan
cial conditions of the country except bv .a
union of a poi-tlnn of the Democratic partv
nnd a portion of the Itepublicau Kiity. It
Is useless to uttempt lo unite the Demo
c ratio party on any finnnolil pi in. The
test vote to-dav w is probably lirger In
favor of the bill than my voto on the bill
Itself would be, unit the committee prob
nbly recognles this, tin this occasion the
Hepiibllt mis appeared to have preferred to
nlly themselves with the fnetlon of the
Democracy representing unsound financial
view."
The Republican lenders In the house ns
sert that they had agreed to offer no par
liamentary obstiuttl n to a xole what
ever If they had be, u permitted to vote
first on tho ninth and I nth sections of the
bill. Mr. Heed wns on his fec-t for lecog

providing ror a vote en tho bill nc-tording
to his plan that Is. voilng for the ninth
and tenth sections llir The Hc-publlcans
would have nil voted for this rule Mr.
Walker, of Massachusetts, who had led
the ltepubllcnn opposition, ha'i determined
to withdraw his bill, which he had previous,
ly notified tho house ne would olfer ns a
Hiilntltutc, and which was the only plan
proposed by a Republic in, Ho says also
that no amendment would huvo been nf
reied to the Carlisle bill by the Itepitb
Ileitis, although nil of them would have
voted ngnlnst tho bill
No I'in mi lal I cgisl itlon This Si-ssinn,
'Tho collapse Is complete," mid Mr. Walk
er, speaking of the tl ly's events. "There
will bo no financial ltglslation by this con
gress unless tho stnato bends a bill to tho
house, which seems improbable. Twenty
or twenty-five meinbeis voted for tho prev
ious question who would not huvo voted for
Hit) bill All of tho P.t publicans would
have voted for the pievlous question If
thu mlo hml provided for voting on tho
ninth und tenth scvtlons of tho bill first.
These sections logically cuma fiit and
unieuilments could not have been well
oftctitcl unless their fate was decided ut
the beginning of the voting. Tho bill on
Its merits would not have received two out
of tlvo votes in tho houso on un average,"
When tho possibility of the Republican
congress being called in un extra session
was spoken of, Mr, Wnlker said:
"If eongiess gives ampin authority nnd
gives It wisely tn tho secretary of the
tre.ibiiry to Issue bonds, both to maintain
gold payments uml supply tho trea-sury
deficiency, an extra session may bo avoid
ed, but ut a gient expense to tho govern
mnt, present and ultimate, In needlessly
high rates of Interest on tho bonds Issmsl,
If tho treasuiy Is given no nddltlonul an
thotity for tho Issuance of bonds with the
prevailing want of coiiildenco In tho man
agement of national finances by tho admin.
Istratlon, it will Injure tho business Inter
ests of tho country, and I fear an extra,
session will have to bo called.
"As lo the e fleet on business nf nn ex
ti.v bcsslon, If ono Is called to convene, it
will glvo confidence to tho country rather
than un Injury. If It Is dolaved ns tho ex

tho iidmlnUtratton will probably havu a
financial panic on Its hands."

This assertion, however.needs examination,
and Is likely to meet denl tls at tho bands
of the Saxons ami ll.ivarlans, who adhere
lo the claims of Dtesden nnd Munich. As
outsiders, without entering into these va

there nre few who will not
say that llerlln, along with Its rapid devel
opment In o'ther directions, has since the
war become u very Important seat fur
things operatic and thoattlcnl.
The king of Prussl i owns two house" In
llerlln, nn opera house mid the so-called
Schutlsplelhaiis, oi theater. To run these
each )ear takes u luge sum out ot his
iii).il allowance, which Is the snmn story
that comes from evety German capital, and
tin to nte many primes, who". If custom
would penult It, would willingly rid them
selves of this ilnnnelil burden. What the

very considerable. Though the nudieticcs

These, for Instance, arc complaints which

that Ilie list of good singers uml pl.ivns Is
