Ur Thomas H. i VojJ of Cillao , who was ald "to know all t'noiit ' the situation In that republic. Dr. T'aoiafte took the letter of Cardinal Rampolla tj > ardinal Gibbons , based oa information furm-hed him by ths Paris deloeate. and , answered It thu # : " 'Protestants nre fat from b ln ? ttt-trlcted In the free t-TprriM of their worship. ' " llev. Wood ha > s. "The constitution forbids us publicity for our worship. The clerical organ * applaud unlawful outrages committed an us , and fifMichi'M ' enthu.se their audiences with the cry 'Death to ProteKuntB. ' Tb e facts ohould hive modified the ptateraent of the liapil delegate tn Kampulla , to that the la'ur uould not have reported that we are far from buing restricted In the free exercise' of our worship. 'Protestants are rather accorded a larger degree of toleration than Ls compatible with o Btrlrt construction of the political coti- ktitutiou ot these countries' tays the delegate. The present constitution dati from ISoO. nnd found Protestant worship tolerated in thp land , took for granted its existence and restricted Its publicity without defining the limit * ot the restriction. The ronstltution m > n : 'No one can be compelled to do what Is not ie < julred by law nor hindered from do- IMK nhat Irt not prohibited by law. ' It Is f-'lse to say that we u e more liberty than fctrict construction' allows. KEEP W1THIX THE L.AW. "It Is doubly fale to set forth , a : the two foregoing quotations se ra to do. that we are acting in defiance of law under toUrant leniency from the Roman Catholic ch irch. The truth la we are carefully ind con- f-cientiously actlnir within the llmltfi of the law , aa Interpreted by lawful authorlt- ; , and nil our difficulties grow out of the unlawful Intolerance of the Roman Catholic clergy. The papal delegate In Luna must have known this , aud he ought to have so reported it to his superior In Home. Rampolla dote not report Maccbi's words , so we cannot tell which of them Is responsible for the at tempt to throw the blame of our dlstrtt-sses on the politicians of Peru aud give credit to Hi clergy for the toleration we enjoy. " 'The constitution of Peru recognizes no otier form lot marriage ) as valid man that prescribed by the council of Trent. ' False. The constitution eays nothing about mar riage and makes no reference whatever to the council of Trent. Here the blame rests on Macchi. as P.ampolla states that 'the delegate Informs' him to that effect. The delegate DIUM have known better. "Since the coining of the delegate to Peru , we have been falling under a series of new restrictions , beginning in December .1S93 , with a local decision excluding our mar riages from civil registers in Callao and end ing In November. 1S"J5 , with a supreme exe cutive decree , outlawing them sneepingly. and declaring that their previous recogni tion had been contrary to the constitution , without stating In what respect. The de cision of 1833 specifically named the Meth odist Episcopal church as having its mar riages excluded from civil registry , with no need of such specific mention , as the de cision was tnade to cover all marriages not Solemnized by a Roman Catholic priest. SUSTAINED IJY POLICE. "After we had started our work In Lima , the archbibhop wrote officially to the execu tive asking that my operations be stopped. Ills ground was not a charge that I was violating any law , but the sweeping pre tensions that my propaganda was from the nature of it hostile to the state religion. nnd , therefore , hostile to the state. The executive passed the case down to the prefect of Lima , ho to the sub-prefect ho to the police , who watched us without our knowledge , observed how people went In and out of our chapel , noted what we did , entered and observed within as well as with out , till the sub-prefect was satisfied and drew up a report to the effect that we were not violating any law or regulation within the compass of the police. The prefect endorsed it as his report to the supreme executive. The record remains In the ministry of wor ship and Justice. " ilr. Lee said that the crusade Inauguratbd by the Methodist ministers more than three yi-an ago to secure the same religious liberty for Protestants In Peru , Bolivia and Ecuador that Roman Catholics enjoyed in the United States had been regarded "not simply as a battle for Protestantism , but a battle for hu manity. " "They knew , " he added , "that victory would come finally , and until It did come their motto must continue to be 'no turrcnder.

The- Lutheran eynod got down to hard work today and more business was transacted during the morning session than halt come before the convention since Its beginning. As a starter , L resolution was pa ed informing the citi zens of Manulleld that the invitation to be ahown around the city which the synod had decided to accept today , could not be ac cepted at all , owing to the pressure of busi ness. A number of the ministers are be coming impatient to return home and the mileage committee reported that numerous requests had been made for tickets. By the rules of tna synod no delegate is allowed to leavu the c.ty except by ponutaslon of the e- evmbly. RBV. J. M. Crotter of Kansas City caused a ripple of excitement at the opening of the morning eetason by elating that certain n w - papers had printed articles stating that the nynol bad bc-en divided in the election of officers by partisan differences between the cotvfiorvatlved and radicals , atd that the tide of the election was turned through the in fluence of the conservatives. Rev. Mr. Crotter atated that the articles were mls- Etatemento and that no Influences whatever bad Ix'en brought to bear In the election. He then Introduced a resolution that the synod exprevs dlsipproval of the reports , which wan adopted. After ' .Lrae preliminaries the regular order was proceeded with and Rev. H. II.

The de pressed financial condition of the country has made a falling off In the benevolent con tributions , but at the same time there has been an increase In the membership of the churches and Sunday schools. This report of the board of supolles was submitted by Fecretary Rev. Dr. D. H. Baus- lln , Springfield. O. In the report It was recommended that greater care be insisted upon in the admission uf rt-intRters from other churclus into the Lutheran ministry. It was also recommended that the synod ad monish ministers to serve their pastorates as a whole , and not merely a part , as in stances of this kind had led to disruption and disintegration of some pastorates. The statistical report summarized shows that there in the twenty-three English synods of the general synod sixty vacant pastorates , containing 118 churches , aud that the a\er- age salary reported as being pal'J by these sixty pastorates Is J55S.

Xo Sienn of \ \VonkcnInc- Reformed NEW YORK , June 14. The general coun cil of the Reformed Episcopal church con tinued Its Etfelon this afternoon with only about half the delegates present. Blahop Cheney waa one of the delegates present. Btehop Henry of Chicago denied positively that he had reconsidered and withdrawn bis resignations from the committees. R.V. . Hare of Dr. Cheney's ( Curch eald that the Reformed Episcopalians of his parish and synod would not withdraw from the church , but they would not send auy more delegates to general councils. Dr. Smith , chairman of the committee on canons , asked to return to the general coun cil the matter of a new constitution and canons because the committee had not a quorum. C. A. Jameson , of Peorla , 111. , and W. C. Aotfcony of Newburg , N. Y. , were elected to the- committee and It was ordered to report on the matter In hand. In contradiction to Mr. .Hare's statement indicating- that the Chicago members of the' church were going to remain practically In dependent of the- general council , Mr. Morton of Philadelphia , a close friend of Bishop Cheney , nomlpated C. G. Keith , a member of Dr. Cheney's parish , to be a trustee of the theological seminary to fill the vacancy eausod bygone of Friday's resignations. He was elected. Mr. Hare explained that Mr. Keith was nominated a trustee In order that the Chicago churches keep their hold on the seminary. "Trustee * of the seminary are not delegates to the council , " said he. "We have $25,000 Invested In the seminary from Chicago cage and we want to keep our hold on that. There are five out of the eight trustees of the seminary In favor of limited veEtraents and we propose to stop the teaching of Illiberal ideas to the young ministers.

( Special Tele gram. ) A point of order raised by Itepre- i tentative McMlllIn of Tennwste that only ! bills from committee could b < considered la regulir order prevented the passage of : the joint resolution of Senator Allen In the ! house this morning. Congressman Mercer was toM by Speaker Ueed to present the resolution , but the Interposition of McMlllIn . necessitated drawing political lints In sup- \ pert of the speaker and the hou.se adjourned. l Speaker Heed Intimated that he would eup- j port Mercer on the Joint resolution , which I allows foreign labor to come Into the United States during the term of the Transmlssls- slppl and International Exposition , but would oppose the concurrent resolution callIng - Ing upon the president of the United States to make a proclamation as to the Tranjmls- sUslppl Exposition. Upon thla point Ue < d i was most emphatic. He said that the State i department was opposed to any recognition unless held under ni- of local enterprise : ? , tlonal auspices. The precedent would be bad , and for this aud other reasons he ex plained to Congressman Mercer he was op- * poxcd to any such recognition on the part of the president. Efforts are to be made , how ever , to eecure an expression from the State department in favor of the Omaha exposi tion. GAGE AND THE CHINESE. Speaker Reed received this morning the following from Secretary Gage In relation to that clause of the Joint neolutlcn relative to Chinese labor : To the House of Representatives ; In con nection with the proceedings now pending iwrtalnlng to the Transmissl = lppl and In ternational Exposition , to be held at Omaha , Xeb. from June 1 to November 1 , 1V9S , 1 deem it advisable to call your attention to the fact that under the privilege granted by congress to similar expositions held at San Francisco , Cal. , Tacoma , Wash. , Atlanta. Ga. , Nashville. Tenn. . and at the World's fair In Chicago. III.'large numbers of Chi nese were allowed to enter this country , ostensibly for the purpose of participating in such expositions , and that there is ground for the belief that the privileges ac corded by the se jral laws on the subject were grossly abused. It is suggested that in the admission of the Chinese to attend the exposition to be held at Omaha , provi sion be made to restrict the number to be admitted as exhibitors , artisans , etc. , and that they be required to depart from this country Immediately after the close of such exposition. Under laws heretofore passed , Chinese persons have been allowed one year after the close of the exposition with which they may leave the United States , and It has required the service of a number of inspectors , who have been engaged In tracing , such persons as have failed to de part from this country as required by law. nn > l large expenditures have been incurred thereby. U. J. GAGK. Secretary. NO HURRY ABOUT IT. Some little while ago the Commercial club of Omaha passed a series of resolutions call ing upon the Interstate Commerce commis sion to explain why It had failed to render a decision in the Omaha bridge arbitrary case , which had been ( u-gued nearly three years ago before that body In this city. Con- gre&uman Mercer had an Interview with Com missioner Knapp last week and in the course of the interview the commissioner , who was deputed to write the opinion , stated that for three years the commission consisted of only four members. late Commissioner Veazey being Inc.ipacltr ed to perform any of the duties of the otace. Consequently the com missioners stood 2 to 2 regarding the ease at bar. Now that a fifth commissioner has been appointed to succeed Mr. Veazey , the new commissioner , Mr. Prouty of New York , desired to review the case at length , and until euch review could be had no decision would bo handed down. "Even though we arrive at a decision , " said Mr. Knapp , "we are hung up by a re cent decision of the supreme court In the Cincinnati case , which does not permit the commission to make rates. Consequently I have no means of knowing what the decision will be. but If it is in fafor of Omaha , it must necessarily be set aside under the rul ings of tEe supreme court. " This probably explains ( he failure of the ' commission to hand down the decision. Y 'hlle i it is not known deflnitely , it is believed that ! Messrs. Morrison and Knapp have sto d for j Ociaha In Its contention for the absorption of the bridge arbitrary , while Youmans and Clements have taken thi other side of the proposition. Telegrams were sent out yesterday from Washington to Governor Tanner urging him to approve the Illinois appropriation for the Omahi Exposition. Senator Thurston cent an additional telegram to P. D. Armour , urging him to use his influence with the governor. These were supplemented by telfgrame from Mr. Iloeewater to Governor Tanner and Mr. Armour and Omaha parties calling upon them to do all in their power to Induce Governor Tanner to append his signature to the important measure. MAY GET THE LEAGUE MEETING. Congressman Mercer received & letter re cently from Secretary M. J. Dowllng of the National Republican league , whose head quarters are at Detroit , stating that he was u"lng every argument in his power to eecure the next meeting of the league at Omaha. The league meets in Detroit this year and the help of Secretary Dowllng Is of the greatest pcesible Importance , -which. It Is believed , if sustained by other members of that .organization , will bring to Omaha In US3 one of the leading : political bodied of the United States. The remainder of the Invitations to for eign countries , which were omitted in the first presentation , were turned over to As sistant Secretary Cridler on Saturday. Now that the State department lus received all the Invitations to foreign countries to 'which this country hag accredited representatives , they will at once b forwarded under seal of the State department.

SH.NATI2 OUTS TO WORK R.VIU.1KH. Sc"lim t < > llculn nt 11 O'clock In tlir MomliiK HrrrnfttT. WASHINGTON , June It. The tariff debate is not proving a strong attraction in the senate , and the attendance in the galleries today was small. The tariff bill was taken up with little delay for morning business , and Mr. Allison , In charge of the bill , asked for an agreement that the dally sessions begin at 11 a. m. on and after Wednesday next. Mr. Veal preferred to have the agree ment conditioned on an understanding for adjournments at 5 p. m. Mr. Allison stated that there would be no difficulty about that and t e agreement for early sc&slons was etfectcd. Mr. Allen of Nebraska then reverted to the colloquy of last Saturday , In which he held that It was the right and duty of the government to take legal steps to dissolve the Sugar trust. He argued that It was undoubted that Injunction , quo warranto and other legal process could be Invoked by fed eral courts against a state corporation en gaged in Interstate or International trade. If Havemeyer and his associates went to New Jersey to procure a charter as a mere shield to Improper proceedings the act was fraudulent ( he charter void and the federal courts had jurisdiction over the subject. Why. therefore , should .he senate waste time and haggle over the sugar tchedule and the sugar trust wheii the co'iris oifered a real remedy for dissolving this glgontlc monopoly ? Mr. Allen next spoke in favor of abrogat ing the Hawaiian treaty. The senator said the ougir Investigation In which he took part disclosed that Havemeyer and Claua Spreckels had an agreement by which Spreckels controlled the territory west of the Missouri river , while the territory east of the Missouri was "mibject to the forays of the American Sugar trusl. His vote , and he believed the votes of the populist senators , would be cat to cancel the Hawailin treaty aa a means of developing the beet sugar Industry of this country. The senate at 2:40 : p. m. voted on the Lindsay motion to strike out the differential on refined sugar. Rejected , yeas , 26 ; nays , 29. 29.A A statement by Senator Hoar that the hon est , sober men of the United States looked with contempt upon the charges against the United States senate drew from Senator Tin man a stirring reply , in which he insisted that Mr. Hoar was entirely mistaken. The charges that senators speculated In sugar had been made by reputable newspaper men over their own signatures , he said , and the people wanted the charges disproved or their authors punished. "They want to know ? ' he shouted , "how It Is and why It Is" that the American senate cannot touch sugar without being contami nated. " ! Mr. Hoar responded with feeling. He said he knew the character , purposes and opin ions of th ? workers' of the farms and work shops of Massachusetts ; They did not sym pathize with these reckless charges against public men. The people of other states be lieved as they did.The charges , he con cluded , "are not only preposterous , they are infamous. " Mr. Tlllman said.he had received thousands of letters in the , pas ; , ten days from the people of the southwest aud northwest and he knew that they /did / not believe the charges were Infamousj , ' "We cannot hide be hind our senatorial tpgas , " he cried. He said ho believed the.charges and he had asked for an Investigation. Newspaper cor respondents had offered to prove that sen ators had epeculated In sugar stock. If the senate declined to examine the proof It stood convicted before the people. Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota followed in support of his amendment proposing that ar ticles made by a trust be put on the free list. He arserted that It was a serious ques tion how the present "government by the trusts and for the trusts" could be thrown off. There were trusts In coal , sugar , oil , glass , steel , chemicals , crockery and all other great staples stifling competition and set ting up the rule of the monopoly. No tariff bill would be successful , he said , without some defense of the people against the trustn , and such a bill -would meet with popular con demnation. As a protectionist , he offered this amendment , believing that with It the tariff bill could be defended against assaults. He contended that the amendment would not seriously diminish revenues , BE the bill was not framed to get revenue from trust articles , the American markets In effect being turned over to the trusts. Mr. Pettigrew gave the details of the or ganization of the many extensive trusts , be ginning with the Sugar trust , whose annual profits he put at 115,000,000. Mr. Pettigrew said he was glad that he had suppported In the last campaign a man who had the cour age to avow his opposition to trusts. Mr. Lindsay moved to strike out 1 95-100 and Insert 1 S-10 cents BS the rate on eugar. During the debate on this proposition Mr. Allen asked If it was not possible to frame a cugar schedule which would not confer some benefits on. the Sugar trust. The bill was laid aside without a vote on the pending Lindsay amendment and at 5:10 : the senate held an executive session , adjourning eoon after. IlEl'UIJLICAX SENATORS CAUCUS. Decide , After Deliberation , to 1'nan tin- Hawaiian .Matter. WASHINGTON , June 14. The republican senators were In caucus for more than three hours tonight , and when adjournment WES reached not very much progress had been made. The Hawaiian treatr proposition was passed over to be considered at a future caucus , as several senators expressed the opinion that it It was true that a treaty of annexation was to be sent In it would be ab surd to enact legislation looking to the abro gation of the treaty of reciprocity. Senators who were aware of the progress of the an- nexHilon treaty did not feel at liberty to give the caucus full information. Although there was much reticence observed It was believed the president would be compelled to move on the subject of the proposed treaty. The caucus was In session from S until 11:30 o'clock and three propositions only were under consideration. These were : The question of what jo do * lth the Hawaiian reciprocity question , the advisability of iv- ing a bounty on bet sugar aud the question of anti-trust amendments ; The Hawaiian treaty question was 'pissed ' over , but the sugar bounty proposition was wlthSrawn , and the anti-trust amendment was referred to the republican member o ! the Judiciary commit tee.

A treaty ! or the annexAtlon of Hawaii to the United Stales will be sen > in tlie senate soon after the return of the president , unless present plaits are apercd. The treaty has been wrlticu and all Its details were fully agreed upon before the prcsldint and Secretary Sherman left for the south. There Is no doubt , It Is snkl , of the president's acquiescence In the terms of the treaty , as he was made fully aware ol them before he left. The treaty Is on the general linen ot the treaty negotiated during the administration of President Harrison and withdrawn by President Cleveland. H pro * vldes for annexation without the exaction of conditions on the part of the HawAllans as : o the form of government to be vouchsafed to Hawaii , leaving that qucMlon to be dls * posed of b > the government of the United States. The United States will agree , how ever , to assume the debt of the present Hawaiian government , but will come into possession ot all the Hawaiian crown.lauds and other possessions. SENATORS GIVEN A HINT. Several senator have received definite In formation concerning the existence of tb * treaty and are well acquainted with its tern-.fi though they refuse to discuss ihe matter. The knowledge of the existence of the'treaty has been communicated to the members of the committee on foreign relations and to tbo finance committee. In the republican caucuses the subject cf the treaty has been hinted at , but In rather a vayue manner. Senators asserted that there were In progress uesotlatloiu looking to annexation , but they would not aver that they knew a treaty had been drawn , nor would they give any assurances that It would soon be sent to the senate. lu private con versation with other senators , however , they gave Information that UAJ definite enough to satisfy thrse with whom they talked that the treaty was not only to be sent 'in but that It was now drawn and only awaiting the signa tures of the two governments to complete It. It Is known that the approval of the com mittee on foreign relations Is assured , as eight members of the committee have ap proved Its terms. This will enable the com mittee to speedily report the treaty to the senate so that it may be taken up Imme diately after the tariff bill Is disposed of. The senate has been canvassed to a cer tain extent by senators favoring annexation and while there are some senators who are noncommittal , the supporters of the proposi tion say they believe they can count upon the two-thirds vote necessary to secure rati fication. Tbo especial friends of the president about the senate say that the treaty has been made In .accordance with his views , and that it would have been sent in some time ago but for his exactions as to details. EFFECT OF PRESENT CONDITIONS. The present condition In Hawaii , it Is said has had much to do with favorable considera tion of the treaty of annexation. The pres ent government of Hawaii and the people who support it are very much concerned about the Japanese situation. Private information received by Hawalians In this city is to the effect that the Japanese at any time may take some action looking to acquisition of the islands. The advices officially received are of much the same tenor. The sentiment In the senate seems to be that Japan in no way should control the islands , or get a foothold there. This argument has been used to pre vent even notice of abrogation of the present treaty In the tariff bill. It Is said that such notice might be followed by Japanese occu pation and the islands could not be regained by the United States without a struggle. In this connection It is learned that the con versations among the most prominent Japa nese residents of Hawaii which have been re ported to the representatives of the Islands in Washington have been of a threatening char acter , and that the American residents have more concern than has been shown In the published accounts. The officials at the State department stead fastly refuse to make any statement as to the negotiation of a treaty providing for the annexation of Hawaii , and at the Hawaiian legation the same silence is observed. How ever , it Is known that the treaty , though not yet signed , is drawn up for signature , and as the president Is fully aware of Us scope , there Is no reason to doubt that he will authorize its signature. In this case , It Is expected that the document will be sent to the senate for action very soon , even within-a week , it Is said in some well in formed quarters. If this be the case It may be taken for granted that the president has taken steps to assure himself of the favorable recognition of the treaty in the senate , and to guard against such a fate as befell the arbi tration treaty.
