M.UST BE ACTION AGAIN CONFERS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. , SOME PARAMOUNT QUESTIOnS Presldcnt Roosevelt Makes It Plain That He Considers Commerce Regu. latlon an Issu of Vital Importance to the Country. WASIIINGTON- President Roose. , 'elt contlnuell his conferences with members of congress on the suhject of tarlrr rovislon nnd of leglslotlon JlrO\.ltlln for an incrcn1o ! of the Inlm'- state commCfce commission. Ono statement , which stands out almost with the pre.emlnence of an oll1cial announcement , is that , unleEs COtllreBS at the } lresent session shall enact legIslation - Islation 1001 lng to a regulation of rail. road freight rates , an extraordinar ) ' session of th Io'Ift.nlnth congress will be called by the president to denl with that 11roblem. It can be sl\1d that the presllentg regards the interst.ato commerce question as the paramount Issue now before the American pcople. At the confOl'ence last Saturday he informed those whom ho had Bum- moned into consultutlon that , in his judgment , lhe question of railroad freight rates was far moro important than that of the tariff and that , while ho desired a readjustment of the oxlst. ing customs duties , he would not ex. pect auy radical differences in the re' publican party on that question. Ho snld definitely that ho would call an extraordinary session of congress to considOl' Interstate legislation unless definlto action was talwn b ) ' congress on the sUbject at the present. At that session ho hoped tariff rovislon to the extent ho had Illtllcated might bo accomplished , hut he made it pOl'fect. Iy clear that , in his mInd , the over. shadowing issue was that of railroad freight rl tes. Ia a tnw with Spealwr Cannon who Is recognized as being O\JIJOsed \ at this Umo to any rovlgion of the tariff. the president relteratell his statement made at. Saturda"s conference that. while he desired action on the ques , tlon , he was willing to abldo by the Judgment of the republican le ders in congress , as ho regarded the tariff matter as ono which the chosen rep. resentatives of the American people should determine. Ho Indicated , in so many wordR that , whllo firt ) ' years hence practlc. ally nobody would bo able to say whether the tariff duties on any given artlclo at this tlmo were 60 per cent ad valorem or 6 1Jer cent ad valorem , . and nObody would care anything about that what the dulies were , the inter. state commerce question involved a principle dear to every right thinldng and rhht minded American , precisely as the whole matter of dealing witb corporations Involves a prlnciplo , and ho would fight for that principle with all the power that in him lies. The president corrolJOrated the statement attributed to him that t.he tariff question was one merely of ex. pedlenc ) ' , which would be solved with. mit fricUon between him and the con. gress. Any serious differences , ho is Imown to have said , between him and the congress on the tariff revilion : ! matter are quite Impossible.

Ethelbert Talbot , bishop of central Pennsylva. nia , nro in brief as follows : Criminal libel , immoralit ) ' , false statements , the circulation of a false and mali. cious and defamatory reports , falsU- mg , breach of ordinaUon and consecration - cration vows and conduct unbecoming a bishop. In a statement Herbert Noble , a New York lawyer , representing the presenters in the charge against Dish. op Talbot , gave au outline ot tllO course to bo followed by his cliont.q in the hearing ot the case. Mr. Noble charged that DlsI10P Tnlbot "hns pursued - sued Dr. Irvine relentlessly , " and then quoted from a ( } ecislon of the supreme - preme court of Pennsylvania in a suit brought by Dr. Irvine against Dishop Talbot and 1\Irs. Elliott to tllis effect : "Undoubtedly defendants combined to prefer charges against Irvine in the church court and acted to support the charges. They wanted him deposed - posed from the ministry. That tht'Y' also hatell him , nnd by their course possibly graUfied less worthy mo. Uves Umn these which prompt a true Christian to action , is ot no moment except insofar as It might ! Javo at- tectell their credibility as witnesses before the court which t.ried him. " Mr. Noble denied that Dr. Irvine was deposed ror immorallt ) " , denied that for twenty 3'ears ho was under the ban ot ecclesiastical discipline , Bnd that ho was ever suspended or inhibited as charged in the Upjohn tetter. Referring to a statement in the letter - ter that eight bishops had hel ( } charges ngainst Dr. Irvine , 1\11' . Noble said the presenters ( } Isagreo with this , nnd added that Dr. Irvlno denies that Dishop Burgess ever made a chnrgo of any lt1nd against him , as alleged according to 11. copy of UlO Upjohn tetter. It is made clear from the develop. monts that the names of several women - en will be brought into the casO. Mr. Noble S 'lya 1\Irs. Elliott , over hose church standing the whole controversy arose , had been pronounced - nounced "excommunicated" by Dishop Talbot "becauso she had married after having obtained a divorce from her husband on grounds other than adul- tery. " Continuing , Mr. Nohle says that 11:1V- ing deposed Irvlno from office , tl s bishop wrote on Jan. 21i , 1002 , the lotteI' complained ot to Rev. Dr. Samuel - uel Upjohn , and two years after Its date sent a copy ot thiB leUer to Rov. Dr. Jolm Fulton. The letter referred to ao the letter to Dr. Upjohn is .signed by "Ethelbert Talbot , " and charged Dr. Irvlno with immorality. Irvine Talks of the Case. "Can n bishop or ought a bishop write defamatory letters in secret in ardor to injure nny member ot the ministry ? This is the question which will ho decided n.t the meotlng of the board of Inquiry , " said Dr. Irvine In dlscussing UIO charges which ho.ve been made against him.

" Bishop May Not Be Tried. Every ono ot the six men who live nt Huntingdon. Pa. , and who are published - lished as having signed the presentment - mont against BIshop Ethelbert Tal. bet , resulting in Dlshop Tuttle calling n court of Inquiry , repudiates his sig- nature. This vitiates the present- ment. as the canons require that at least three of the presenters must live in the diocese of the accused bishop. Not only are signatures repudiated , but two of the leading residents of lIunUngdon mentioned as presenters -.Jolltl Langdon and .Tames Deni. thorne-are decidedly opposed to having - ing Dlshop Talbot placed on trial. In bct , they hl\vo much sympathy for Dishop 'I'albot , although Mr. Langdon at least believes the trouble might ha vo been satisfactorily settled long ago had the bishop co-operated with the vestrymen of St. John's church.
