They have kept the prom Isa nobly and I nm sorry to add that the people have appreciated It a llttlo too well to ault my convenience. I have not been able to get within ten yards of n hearing at Mr. Moody's, and nt Dr. Harrows' church I found at least 400 people leaving for want of room. It was decided also that tent meetings should bo hold near tho fair's gates and that so far as possible tho missionaries of the various societies should havo their home vacation nnd that there should be preaching by thorn in Turkish, Greek, Italian, Chinese nnd possibly some of the India languages. Only part of this pro gramme has been carried out, for the plalsance pcoplo aro confessedly the most irreligious of their several races and Sun day is the day when they do their wildest, as, though the gates aro open, no other part of the fair is really on exhibition. Out of this plan, however, grew that of ft religious congress and to Dr. Barrows more than any other ono man must the credit bo given. Tho world was rlpo for it. It appears that all tho races of man are just at this tlmo In a stato of doubt or ft state of revived enthusiasm and are either ready to ro-oxamlne the grounds of their faith or eager to set them forth to others. The Japaneso are in effect a nation of agnostics. Their higher classes express disbelief in any supernatural agency what ever or cool indifferenco to all faiths. There is n general skepticism In China. Tho missionary spirit seems to be reviving again among the Mohammedans, but among their most active men religion haa taken ona seml-sclenti fie cast. Habu Pro tab Chunder Mozoomdnr, the flrstllindoo to glvo his views hero, says that tho pro gressive Hindoos hold almost exactly the aame views as the Unltarlnns of this country. He is the founder of tho Brah ma Soma, or worshippers of the ono su preme God, and is at present the guest of some religious families here. The Budd hists in like manner admltthatnew move ments are going on among them and smil ingly claim that there are more Buddhists In the United States than there are Christ ians in China and Japan. In short the whole world Is in a state of religious un rest and the parliament was an assured success almost as soon as it was proposed. The missionaries in heathen lands were unanimous in ita favor, the great leaders of Christendom nearly bo. The names or those willing to serve on the advisory board soon reached 1,500. Prominent among its promoters in distant lands arc such men as Professor Isaao T. Headland of the Imperial university at Pekln, Her. J. S. Chandler of Madura, South India; Rev. George D. Marsh, American mission ary In Bulgaria, Rev. Georgo T. Cundlin of Tientsin, China; Rev. Yoshijas Hlralwa of the Methodist seminary in Tokyo and leader among tho natlvo Christians, and others. The leading native members of tho bar in India took a great Interest in it and one of them, still a devout Brahmin, wrote, "The time is nt hnnd when tho best religion must come to tho front." Of course he added that ho did not fear com parison. Of tho old and retired mission aries it Is claimed by the managers that every one has been an enthusiastic udvo cate of the congress. Mozoomdar, as the Babu abovo named Is usually called, arrived a week before tho congress convened. With him came H. Dharmapala, who is the guest of promi nent Christian families and Veerachand Gandhi, who is the honored guest of Dr. Barrows. He is a priest of Jninlsm and was elected a representative here by his fellow pries'ts. He hasuotyctsald enough for us to comprehend the difference be tween Juinism and Buddhism or Brah mlnlsm. Another of that party is B. B. Nagarkar, Brahmin priest, who is the guest of Marvin Hughltt, well known in railroad circles. All these gentlemen speak English with clearness and fluency and aro not at all backward iu giving their viows to newspaper men. As they traveled together from India by way of London, did the "World's fair together nnd aro sociable nnd pleasant guests iu the sumo Christian families, it would seem that there is not such a pnlnful separation of sects ns wo had supposed "on India's coral strand." Ottoman Emplro'day at the fair was tho seventeenth anniversary of tho accession of Sultan Abdul Hunted I. to tho Turkish throuo uud every Turk, Kgyptlim and loyal Armenian got himself up regardless. Somewhat to my surprise a few Greeks also took an interest iti it, as thcro aro still nearly us many Greeks in Turkey as in Greece. Tho Dutch celebrated on tho birthday of llttlo Queen WUhelmtnn and their orators told us sonic very good tilings about the Dutch settlement of Now York and bow they established religious liberty in tho new world. Today tho railroad representatives aro making a grand racket over the formal opening of the Manches ter railroad sixty-threo years ngo. New Mexico has her little demonstration to morrow, but it is stated that fower, people aro hero from that territory than from auy other or any state iu tho Union. The native Mexicans ure not 11 traveling neo- 'ple and the 'Americans, chiefly silver miners, feel tolerably poor Just at present. On the SOth Iowa will parade, through the grounds with Governor Boles at the head of tho line, and, as thoy claim, soma 1 ),000 peoplo from that stato ou view. The .ate cadets will show their training on .10 81st and Governor Boles and others vlll speak. On tho 27th Indiana will do aerself proud and tho silvery tones of Sen ile rVoorhees, Ben Harrison nnd others '-III be heard, , If it is possible for him to come, the old mun eloquent, munel Rlchnrd W, Thompson, will also bo with us and give us his personal recollections of the day In 1910, when Indiana wanfonually admitted to tho Union. Of course Gov trnor Matthews, his brows bound with tho laurels of tho late mllltla vtetry at Roby (where tho prise lighters rCfa-uted without firing a shot) will lead the proces sion. The granger states are now swell ing tbe admissions well up towards the iun , 800,000 mark dally. The stock pavilion Is Jammed and tho great cow contest nnd team churns attract even larger crowd Uiun the Art palace. . By fits nnd starts, ns It were, I hare been Marching out Canada's exhibits in all the buildings for a mouth, nnd trying to get them classified. This for two reasons I tust naturally like tho Canadians and they lave so far outdone expectations that a special feature should be made of their show. In the fisheries It Is of course to be taken for granted that they excel all oth ers, as that Is their specialty; but It Is really a surprise to find them so near the head In horticulture. The finest apples come from tho Annapolis valley In Is ova Bcotla. and Ontario displays thirty-eight varieties of that fruit with 1,400 bottles of preserved fruits, including such things' as strawberries, peaches, pears, raspberries and others wo are accustomed to think of as southern fruits. Still more surprising is the fact that cold Quebec displays seventy kinds of fruits, including manv fine an- pics, and that the native wines of Canada aro ranked high by the Judges. In like mannor display of agricultural products was only what was to bo expected, as that is her great industy. Her 10,000 squnro feet In the tnlues department Is thickly set with displays of nearly all known minerals, gold, coal and nickel leading in importance. Tho survey in the remote northwest is fnr from complete, but it is known that in that prairie region there Is coal enough to supply all the defi ciencies of timber and run the manufac tures and transportation for mauy thou sand years. British Columbia reports her STEAM CltUltK DAIRY DUlLDINO. gold yreld to date (53,000,000 nnd manfully Insists that tho world must look to her for Its future coin material, for she has just opened her quartz veins and learned how to work them profitably and by tho for mation knows thnt she has enough for the world's needs for ngrs. South Africa comes back at her with a statement that she haa recently discovered and proved a gold reef twenty-threo miles long, which contains more of the yellow stuff than was mined in California and Australia both, and that before many years gold will again be "depreciated" as compared with silver. In fact she, South Africa, will take the contract to mako it so. But as Kipling says, that's another story. It is matter for unceasing wonder that In the latltudo of Winnipeg, where the ice Is five feet thick, the valleys of British Columbia have the winter climate of Tennessee,, with roots and fruits, grains , and flowers to correspond. But hero are specimens of them to prove it. She also has as much good lumber "in the green" as all the United States east of tho Missis sippi, a fish export to the value of $3,500, 000 annually, inexhaustible beds of coal and fertile valley land sufficient, so she claims, to support the population of Eng land in comfort. In short, according to her very gentlcmnuly but somewhat en thusiastic agent, if that province, were set tled like France Is it would take a respec table rank among the second-class powers of the world. "No other country in the world, sir, is tho equal of it for hops; it has just that moist, mild atmosphere of the great hop country in southeastern England, only better, and yet agriculture is, as 1 may say, only started." It goes without saying that in the For estry building Cnnnda's exhibit is pecu liarly fine. Her whltonndrcdplnohue found their way to all parts of tho world and her harder woods, which take so fine a polish, are almost equally noted. All the world has heard enough, however, of her far western forests; but it may sur prise some to learn that the great hard wood forests of Ontario and Quebco are scarcely touched as yet, and that the pro duction of maple sugar is a great indus try. In the Transportation building Can ada excels in sleighs, of course, and one of tho curiosities there is a beautiful model of the sleigh presented by tho women of Canada as a wedding present to the Duke of York and Princess May. Other curios ities are ice boats, snow shoes, folding boats, racing canoes, toboggan outfits and a dozen other things In tho sliding line. And all this brings me bock to my fa vorite "fad" that the inventions of men to overcome climate give far more pleas ure than tho climate gives pain, and there fore to really enjoy himself a man. of wealth should winter in Montreal and summer in the Bahamas. Then he would have a steady thing and know what to do. pend on. Having tried both I'll take my oath that there is ten times as much fun in Minneapolis iu winter as in New Or leans, for the furs and the sleighs, tho hot drinks and the glorious dinners (and how a man can ent nnd drink there!) the life and vivacity nnd Intellectual, sparkle itr thnt zcro-nnd-below air far more than recompense ono for any climntlo inconven ience thnt is, it he has plenty of money. J. B. I'ARKK. Caravels Transferred to Uncle Baa. Sept. IS was a day of universal interest at tho fair, as on that dato tho Columbus caravels wero presented to the govern ment. The ceremony attending their presentation was both appropriate and impressive. Tho honor of receiving them from Cnptaluv Concas was accorded Cau- I tain Berry, of the Michigan, by the secre tary 'oli the navy, lieutenant Welles, who has been attached to the Latin-American department of tbe fair, was placed in Immediate command of them. The cara vela wero manned by recruits, Captain Berry having received orders to enlist the necessary number of men to take charge of the boats, and to supplement them from the crew and officers of the Michigan la whatever extent necessary.

Idont Cleveland lint not had much assist ance from his cabinet members during his struggle to secure tho passage of tho repeal bill through tho senate, Secretary Carlisle, oddly enough, I tho only member of tho cabinet, with the exception of Secretary Herbert', who has over served In congress, and unfortunately Mr, Carlisle has for some years trained with tho men who are now opposed to repeal. Indeed tho secretary's own speeches In favor of silver nro fro quently quoted against htm on tho floor, Mr. Carlisle haa many friends among sen ators on Ixith sides of tho chamber nnd has been ablo to move many an obstruction In .theroad. Secretary (Irreham has not ox ertcd himself In this case. His tlmo nnd energies havo Itcen fully consumed by the state department affairs. He has nt the present time many Important questions to deal with nnd has no opportunity to do any work on tho finances. Postmaster General Blsscll, Secretary Smith) Secretary Morton and Attorney General Olney arc new men In Washing ton. They have llttlo acquaintance nmong senators, nnd havo nut ns yet been able to form thoso- lutlmato friendships which would place much Influence in their hands. Besides, thoy, too, find their own depart ments quite as much as they can taku good caroof. Secretary Herbert has had long experience iu congress and has an excel lent standing nmong tho leading public mcu of the day. But ho has little tlmo nnd per haps still less inclination to mix himself up iu this financial combat. Lament, the Great Diplomat. Secretary Inmont knows every public man In Washington. Ho Is besides diplo matic, astute nnd energetic, nnd In his quiet way has been ahlo to render the president some service Ui this emergency. A singu lar feature of 1 ho situation is that, while Secretary Inmont Is supposed to Ikj nearer the president than any other member of the cabinet and to possess very fully his chief's eeaAdence, he is still on Intlmnto terms with Senator Gorman, who, ns Is now pret ty well known, is tbe leader of the Damo cratio party In congress nnd not wholly in accord with tho president. Nearly every day Senator Gorman calls upon Secretary Lamont at tho hitter's hotel. There aro few men in tho world who have the peculiar qualities of mind and character which would cnablo them to carry on this 'dual sort of relationship, but Mr. Lamont is n remarkable man. Holsndlplomnt If there ever was one, and he is ahlo to bear confi dential relatlous with leaders of opposing forces without uny display of bad faith with either. Tho president has been hard pressed In this fight for a repeal, but ho haa not hod tho support aud cc-opcratlon of an In fluential cabinet. Tbe situation presents so many difficulties that even as strong a man as Mr. Cleveland must at times feel the necessity of having lieutenants on whom to lean. Why the President Is Worried, Tho Importance of this strugglo to the president as well as to tho country cannot easily be overestimated, it is so fur tho signal feature of his second administra tion. Not only has ho set his heart upon accomplishing this object, but ho has em ployed methods which naturally subject hlm'fo flcrco criticism nnd denunciation. It Is charged that he has used tho power of his office in 11 manner in which no presi dent has dared to uso it slnco tho days of Andrew Jackson, with tho possible excep tion of that brief period In which Andrew Johnson sought to hold tho country up by the toll. Mr. Cleveland Is severely criticised for attempting to bo not only tho executive bead of the government, but tho legislative as well. A dozen times n day one may hear in thocnpltol tho expression that, while Mr. Cleveland' is n big mnn, ho is not big enough, and this country never yet pro duced a man big enough, to tako upon his shoulders the responsibility of managing tho White House, tho executlvo depart ments, the house of representatives and the senato all at the same tlmo. Still, nothing succeeds like success, and tho best answer thnt Mr. Cleveland could possibly make to these criticisms would 1k by having his own way and passing the repeal bill with out change or amendment. Defeat under theso circumstances, nfter the employment of these vigorous and almost unexampled methods, would bo doubly humiliating. Demands of Duslness Men. Pcoplo who havo attended the hearings on the tariff held by the ways and means commltteo have been much impressed by tbe constant reiteration of the desire on the part of manufacture rsand business men for information as to wheu the new tariff law is to go into effect. In tho nature of thlugs they cannot hope to learn much about what tho changes in the schedules are to be until after the Democratic end of the com mittee shall have agreed upon them; but if they could soon know' at what date these changes, whatever they are, will go into ef fect, that would bean enormous advantage to them. This, demand for some basis of operations and plans comes as well from thoso people who wont tbe tariffs reduced as from thoso who want them let alouo or Increased. Tho suggestion has been made that congress pass a joint resolution fixing a date for the new law to go into operation. While it is apparent that con grew could not absolutely bind itself In this manner, nnd would oven after passing such a joint resolution lie free to chaugu tho date, ft would In honor adhere to tho dato It it could, aud by so doing Immeasurably help the business Intercstsof thecountry. Chair man Wilton tells your correspondent that bo and the members of his committee fully appreciate tho situation and will very soon consider what, If anything, they can do in this direction. Tired of Tariff Tinkering. There Is ono thing that even the most careless observer Is now able to perceive among tho publlo men of Washington. It is a rapidly growing impatience of a polit ical system Which .makes tho tariff-laws, which ore so intimately bound up with busi ness operations aud tho, prosperity of tho people, a mere political football. Men who think a high tariff Is bad and mcu who think a low tariff is bad agree that something should be done to stop tho frequent change of rates, with consequent disturbance of values nnd business conditions, Ono finds some of tho ablest and shrewdest publlo men at the capital willing to predict that before many years havo passed publlo opin ion will compel thu adoption of a constitu tional amendment which will forbid tariff changes oftener than once In 10 years ot after each federal census.
