STIR OVER EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Rev. Dr. Ladd Fiivors I,envin s It to
<li« Yunns People.
CHICAGO, Juno 3.-The entering
wedge in the readjustment of the func
tions of the Epworth league was driven
home by Rev. T. J. Ladd, of Elgin to
day at a mooting of Methodist preachers
Of ( hicago. Tn an address on "The
League as a Practical Factor in Church
\\ (irk. .Mr. Ladd deplored the fact th it
the presence of white-haired fathers and
mothers in Israel at the meetings of the
young people often resulted in deflecting
the aid of the leagie anJ In causing re
ligious apathy among its members The
r?ddre.ss was applauded by the large audi
ence of ministers, and 'in the free dis
cussion that followed the consensus of
opinion seemed to be that the league too
often interferes with the exercises of the
church and that it ought to be so regu
lated that it would be subordinate to old
er institutions, such as the class met
ing and prayer meeting. The following
were the points emphasized:
The Epworth league was created espe
cially for the young peor>le, and it
should be sacredly reserved for them
Great care should be exercised in se
lecting leaders,.
It is not best to force an Epworth
league into every church. Some are bet
ter off without such an organization
The Epworth league should supplant
none of the services of the churches but
should enrich all. '

SEAT IK THE SENATE
BEFEES TO GOV. M'SWEENEY
In Retractinsr His Resignation the
Senator Professes to Act for the
Beat Interests of People
of His State.
COLUMBIA, S. C, June 3.—Gov. Me-
Sweeney today received the following let
ter from Senator McLaurin;
"Dear Sir—Your letter of 31st of May,
in which you decline to accept my res'g
nation as United States senator is re
ceived.
"The ground upon which your declina
tion is predicated is that the people are
entitled to "one year of peace and free
dom from political battles and bitterness*
and that a campaign this year would l>e
a calamity to the state to be torn asun
der by a 'hastened canvass in the off
year in politics without any possible good
to come of it. As an additional reason
you suggest that any disturban-e of the
harmony of the people in their work
for the advancement of the material
prosperity of the state might result in re
tarding their progress.
"I appreciate fully the force of the
reasons given by you and the effect on
the people of the state of a luated strife
producing contest for United States sena
tor this year. For tine sake of the pc^aee,
prosperity and happiness of the people of
this state, I am will ng to hold on tj
my commission as United States senator
and to continue to serve the state as I
have done in the past to the best of my
ability. But in retaining my st at in the
senate I will n<t consent to be handi
capped or toossed by anyone claiming a
right to judge my motives and actions.
I propose to exercise my judgment on
all national questions under the influ
ence of a high sense of responsibility to
the people an 1 to wrrk for the up-bui'.d
ing of the political and material Inter
ests of the state. I recognize fully my
accountability to the sovereign people
and a.m always ready to give a stri t ac
count of my official acts to them.
"Your suggestions that it is not your
purpose by your official action 'to pr vent
the fullest and freest discussion of all
public questions and the education of the
people along all political lines,' is in ac
cord with your patriotic course in refer
ence to the resignations. The people are
entitled to hear both sides of these ques
tions and to form a judgment. Person
alities and bitterness in a joint debate
would interfere with a fair and full dis
cussion of them, and instead of educating
would mislead and deceive them. All
that I have claimed is that this rigM of
the people and my right to enlighten on
these questions will never be called upon.
"In my effort to do my duty, I was
Interfered with by the senior senator.who
inferred that my coctrines were i olit cal
heresies and hurtf.il to the paople. My
wish Is that all public questions may be
freely and fully discussed before" the
people and I will be content to abide by
their decision upon them. In consenting
to hold on to my commission I wish it
understood that it Is in response to your
patriotic appeal that it is for the good
of the state and not because I feared to
go before the people and discuss with
the senior senator or others the national
issues of the day. lam the public serv
ant of the people, and it is my duty and
pleasure always to promote their Inter
ests In every way I can.

KANSAS CITY FAILURE ECHO.
Creditors Want Slegel-Sanders Com.
pany Receiver Removed.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.,' June 3.—William
A. Wilson, E. P. Webb and other claim
ants against the Siegel-Sanders Live Stock
Commission company, today, through
their attorneys, aplied to the circuit court
for an order to remove Uttley Wedge,
receiver for the company. The allega
tion Is that Wedge unduly favors Frank
Rockefeller, the principal stockholder in
the firm. Wilson and Webb were both
creditors of the old Slegel-Sandera com
pany before It was reorganized by Rocke
feller and others, and their claims, ag
gregating $20,000, were, it s alleged, dis
allowed by Receiver Wedge. Frank Sie
gel, former president of the company, is
now out under bond on a charge pre
ferred by Receiver Wedge of misappro
, prlatlng funds of the firm to the extent
i of over HUC^OOO.
UNCLE SAM-"THINK ITLL GROW, BILL?"
Ip Ai 01 ■ ■
SIR ALFRED HICKMAN COMES
BACK AT I. it ill) HAMILTON ON
LOCOMOTIVE QUESTION
SAYS BRITISH M£XE THE BEST
Clv i him Profit* of Ai;«ei-ienn Manu
facturer at Horn« Under Pro
tection Alone Enable Hint
to Sell Abroad.
LONDON, June 3.—Sir Alfred HlcKman,
formerly president of the British iron
Trade association, hag replied to the re
sponse of Lord George Hamilton, secre
tary of state for Indlf*. to h.'a recent
attack in the house of commons upon
American built locomotives and 'bridges.
He quotes from the report of the Bur
mah Railway company for the first halt
of 1900 to show that American locomo
tives used on the line burned 35.5 per cent
more fuel pur train for each milj and
23.5 more per vehicle for each mi'e than
British built locomotives, and he declares
that the alterations alluded to by Lord
George Hamilton were made in the
tenders only so as to enable the carrying
of more fuel. After inquiring why cer
tain reports have not been published, he
says:
"The Burmnih railway officials se--n
resolved to screen the Amercans at alt
cost."
After inquiring why, if American com
petition is founded on superior chemical
research and technical education, Brrish
makers should be full of orders f:om
Americans to deliver immediately at any
price, he remarks:
"Surely that is some evldmce that the
world outside the Indian railway officials
considers British engines and mateilil
better and in reality cheaper. T.ie of
ficial locomotive engineer reports to tne
Burmah railway that the engines show
early signs of wear and want of strength,
and that cheapness in the first cost Is not
true economy."
COST MORE TO RUN.
Sir Alfred then cites Egyptian railway
reports against Belgian engines, ana
quotes from an Assam railway report
dated April 16, 1001, as saying that Ameri
can locomotives take 21 per cent more
coal and 25 per cent mure oil than Brit
ish. This. Sir Alfred avers, conclusively
proves bad workman?>iip.
Tie affirms that the great advantsg?
which continental and, American manu
facturers have over British, manufactur
ers is due to wh->t practically am-ua'.s
to export bom ' idling:
"The Ameri'" . ;rver has a protect
ed market wTii ' navies him to make
enormous profits at h<:me, and even to
sell at a lop? abroad, still getting a sat
isfactory return on his capital. I venture
to assert with confidence that but for the
37 per cent duty we should sell more
engines in America than the Americans
would send here."
Discussing the Gohties viaduct In Bur
mah, Sir Alfred says Lord Gforge H-amll
ton refuses to give Mr. Corst.ab!e an op
portunity of proving his statements abut
the bad American work "on th'^ assur
ance of gentlemen who* have proved their
partiality to the American bridge bu'ld
ing company by showing them in advance
the private estimates-£nr the projected
bridge over the Irawafl^y, and who by
every shift and contrl-'P"<*6 have en
deavored to stave off the publication of
the reports of their own- enginers."
Sir Alfred's lon.g arraignment conclud
ed with a request for tfte aPP >ii*trnent or
a committee to Investigate the subject.
Commenting on. Sir Alfred Hickman's
rejoinder to Lord Georgte Hamilton, the
Daily Chronicle says: "As Sir Alfred
Hickman points out, British trade Is
looking after itself extremely well. How
ever, he proves too much, because If
British firms are full «f business, where
is hie grievance? It seems what really
fills him and others like him with alarm
is the fact that British trade para
mountcy is threatened, "We must admit
that this paramountcy is doomed, but
the remedy is quite sentimental."
The Daily Mail also comments upon Sir
Alfred Hickman'a letter. It defends
American locomotives land asks for fur
ther evidence concerning the Gohties via
duct. It considers the fact that British
firms are obliged to refuse orders, not a
sign of prosperity, but a sign that they
fail to keep sufficient stock.

PHYSICIANS REPORT SLIGHT IM
PROVEMENT IN CONDITION
i - ---~ OF -UKS. M'KIMJ^Y
PATIENT STILL VERY WEAK
I'hoiiKh Original Complaint Hm
Been Cheeked—Dr. Osier, of
Johns Hopkins, Summoned
in Consultation.
WASHINGTON, June 3.—Hope of slow
Improvement in Mrs. McKinley's condi
tion was held out by the attending physi
cians after an hour's consultation this
morning, in which Dr. William Osier, of
Baltimore, joined. Dr. Osier is a pro
fessofr in the medical department of
Johns Hopkins college and has a national
reputation as a diagnostician. He was
called in to add his knowledge and skill
to that of the other three physicians, and
the result of the consultation is consider
ed encouraging. Mrs. McKinley had a
comfortable night after a rather bad day
yesterday, and Dr. Rixey did not arrive
at the house until 9 o'clock this morning.
Shortly after 10. o'clock he was Joined
by Surgeon General Sternberg and Dr.
Johnston, and a little later by Osier,
who had been summoned from Baltimore.
They remained in consultation until 11
o'clock and fifteen minutes later Secre
tary Cortelyou gave out the following
statement, date 11:16 a, m.
Drs. Rixey, Sternherg and Johns m
were joined by Dr. Osier, of Baltimore,
in consultation at 10 a. m. and report that
Mrs. McKJnley's condition i.s as favorable
as could be expected. Theie i.s no im
mediate apprehension and a slow im
provement is looked for."
The statement that there is no imme
diate apprehension, coupled with prospect
of slow improvement, caused some relit f
to the many anxious inquirers who called
at tho- White house for news from tho
Bick room. Secretary Hay called on his
way to the state department to Inquire,
and Ambassador Cambon came personal
ly to offer to the president his sympathy
and hope for Mrs. McKinley's early
restoration to health.
PRESIDENT RELIEVED.
The presdd< nt was distinctly more
cheerful after the physicians had an
nounced the result of their consultation
and about 11:30 went out for a stroll
through the White house grounds.
Dr. Rixey called at the White house at
2:.',0 o'clock and remained until l:3n.
When he left hjgcaiu that Mrs. McKtnley
was resting comfortably.
At 3:30 o'clock the president and Dr
Rixey went out for a drive. Among
those who called during the day to in
r;uire about Mrs. McKlnley were Admiral
amd Mrs. Dewey, Assistant Secretary and
Mrs. Hill, Mrs. John Russell Young, Miss
Wilson, daughter of t'nie secretary- of agri
culture; Admiral Van Reyperi, Gen. and
Mrs. A. V. Rice, Countess Esterhazy,
Mrs. Charles Emory Smith and Mrs.
John D. Long-.
Dr. Rixey after remaining in the White
House for nearly three hours tonlgrrt.
said that there had bo?n no change In
the condition of Mrs. McKinley. At 11
o'clock she was resting comfortably.
The complaint which manifested Itself
while Mrs. McKinley was away from
Washington and which has so seriously
sapped her strength, has been checked,
but its effect has been to leave her In, a
v<-ry weak condition. At the White house
tonight there is a very slight Increase in
cheerfulness .-and the hope is expressed
that Mrs. McKinley may again give evi
dence of the remarkable vitality she has
displayed heretofore. There will bo
another consultation of the physicians in
the morning.

the ensuing year were elected and many
papers were read, all of them interesting
to the delegates in attendance. Dr. T. J.
MeOowan, the outgoing president, said,
&mont; other things, that the association
is but an Infant, having been in existence
only two years. It has survived the
dreaded first two summers and while
somewhat delica&e, it Is a premising babe.
He believed that with the healthful Min
nesota atmosphere, wise medical counsel]
and skilled nursing, the constitution of
the babe will become so fortified against
the attack of the usual Infantile afflic
tions that the future will build up ai
healthy^ strong, and useful member of
the fraternity. It must be stated that in
spite of the youthfulneso of the associa
tion, it had more delegates than any
other in attendance at its convention yes
terday. An interesting extra*?*, from the
president's address follows: *
ADDRESS BY A PRESIDENT.
"Life insurance companies view the
service of the examiner from a business
standpoint; and their efficiency as ex
aminers is measured by their ability to
protect the companies frcm assuming
hazardous risks. Much complain' has
been made by examiners against solicit
ors for life insurance, and they have been
accused of attempting to influence the
examiner to the detriment of the com
pany. Such acts of an agent Is treachery
and dishonesty which I am sure every
member of this association will condemn.
The Idea that an examiner will intention
ally deceive the cor •■-_;;iy by which h.? is
employed is an Insinuation thai fills mo
with indignation. I regret the Inability
of examiners to arraign these unscrupu
lous individuals before a proper tribunal
a:id expose the frauds they attempt to
practice. In referring to this matter 1
must state that I do net wish to be
understood as imputing dishonesty or de
ception to insurance solicitors In general]
for as a rule I believe them to be gftrvile
men worthy of their vocation, and for
innny^f them I have a very high per
sonal esteem."

"AUDACIOUSLY PRACTICED RIME."

discovered the strange fa'Jt that t"er- I*

practice of medicine which, fr.-m a local
[point, servos the purposes f<>r \\n:cn,
medical law was intfiide.l and pr.a.-tei.
This charlatans were not slow to rec.ff
n;ze, and the audaciously practiced crime
•if assuming to treat disease umlf-r pro
fession of non-emplviyrr.ent of drugs or
medicine not only enables th. m to thrive,
but actively to obtain support for their
nefarious practices because of the tecrnl
cal interpretation of medical law by our
common and supreme courts. This fart
renders Impositions more bold and suc

interests .Jeopardized by Koundrelß who
are known to. have had not-even the ad

"Observe that those evils prevail be
cause of the Imperfection of medical leg

receive. liberal i.atroragr. The Included In

acts of assembly with ttw> purpose of per

ural death of these empty nothingnesses.
The present partially *r,rrect!ve laws
have been secured by so narrow a mar
gin that premature effort toward their
amendment would be defeated by this
phase of commercialism, and. in Eom»
states result In the amendment of the,

far have done at least a partial good."
