both to balk and detect the culprit she

Halt way up the stairs the good doctor

o event for years, possibly no event In
history, haa proved so sudden and surpris
ing a success as this Congress of Hellglon,
and iU projectors were almost carried off
their feet by It It la not generally known,
but the scheme resulted from a sort of ac
cident, and its inception and evolution
were on this wlsot First, as soon as con
gress voted that Chicago should be the
place for the fair the ministers of this city
by common Impulse resolved that they
would waive all claims to ft summer vaca
tion and not only do their best, but call
In extra help. 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

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

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

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

summer in the Bahamas. Then he would

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.
