Course adopted byTrevelyan on the Irish
question , and said that lie icgrctted thnt
Trovelyan had doffed his armor when the
liehtwai liottp.it. The llbpral-unlonlsts , lie
continued , had hccn taunted upon tholrnllU
nuco witli the tories. There was satislnctlon ,
however. In knowing thnt tholr allies wore
.English goiitlomen nnd not siiosldlrud agents
of n foreign conspiracy. The time teemed to
be nppronchlng uhun the formation of a now
party would bo found necessary.
A resolution was paved In favor of the
Inrgpot poialbln extension of local govern
ment to lieland , subject to the supremacy of
Hie Imperial parliament and the protection of
thu protestnnt minority. The conference
attended by 200 delegates , representing nil
puts of Grent Britain. The tone of tha
nnccchosas bitter nnti-UlndstonlAii. It wns
the lirst representative unionist meiitlng
where an Irreconcilable hostility to Glad-
Btone tins hccn the tolling cry. Chamberlain
declared his belief thnt concfllntlon uoiildbu
n mere deroption. Lord Hnrtlngton's letter
described the Glndstonlnns ns absorbed In the
rnrnolhtcK , tholr only object being to
letAin at any cost the support of
( he Parnollltcs by thuir policy ot following
unrcscivodly the leadership nnd adopting
the parliamentary methods of tholr Irish al
lies. A new electoral Irommitte't ! will Im nj > -
polntud lor London. Rumors were current
at the confcruiipu Hint the government would
introduce , probably during thu nutiimn ses-
nlon , n locnl goveinincnt bill Including Ire
land , and thnt the government might dis
solve parliament over this monsiire The
name report In the conservative clubs arc
linstetilnp preparations for electoral organi
zation. The ministers wllheturn to London
Monday , nnd a cabinet council will bo hold
TuHsday.
A mnss meeting of unionists wns held to
Bight in thu liirminglmm town hall. Tin
( following letter was rend from John Urleht :
"Tho gro.it English liberal pnrty U called on
to abandon its pmt traditions nnd prostrate
Itse'lf b for an odious. Illegal , immoial con
spiracy , nnd though they grieved over the
temporary ruin of the llbernl pnrty. thoj
were guiltless ot mischief nnd withoul
shame. "
Sir Henry James said thu llbprnl-unlonM :
never wavered in their allegiance to tlieli
lender until his alliance with Piunnli was in
evitable. They were then oblllged to asso-
csato with former political opponents. A.
to the Parnollltet. ho distillled thuin n <
men , besides disliking their principles. A
resolution was adopted approving the action
of tint unionist lenders.
John Bright's letter , lend at llio liberal
unionist mass meeting nt Birmingham , to
night , Is n long and llcrcu denunciation ol
the Glndstonlan policy , which In Grea :
Btitnln , he says , Is rejected by a innjority ol
two to one. Bright strongly condemn :
O linen's mission , nnd the rnfusn
or the Irish mayors to celehrnti
the queen's jublloo. After rondim
Bright's letter , Chamberlain addressed tin
meeting. Ho complained that the Glnd
stonians were ntmsltu : lihorty of speech nm
popular representation in order , with thi
I'nrnellltcs , to obstruct parliament. Tlili
was treason to parliamentary governmen
nnd an insult to the electors. It could hi
cured not by altered proceduiu ruios , but bj
the pressure of public indignation agatus
the olTonders at an election.

LONDON , Juno 1. fNew York Herald
Cable-Special to tlio UKK. ! Doubtless Ro-
colvcr McLean nnd many old guardsmen
remember seeing Macroady at Pane theater
as Werner In Byron's play. This , revised
and Improved In business by Frank Mnr-
shnlland Irving , was this afternoon pro
duced at the Lyceum before nn Immense
audience ot distinguished people for the
bcnolit of Westiand Marston , the aged dram
atist , who Is poor and wns recently bereaved
of his son , Philip Bourke , the Blind poet , so
well known In Amerlcn. Duke ? , lords.ladlca
nnd all tlio profession were represented.
Kvcn the pit and galleries wcro filled
with nilstoerntlc occupants. The stalls
brought S10 and the rest of the house proportional
tional prices. The amount realized is about
310,000. When Irving was young Marston
was kind to him , and now the latter Is old
the former returns the bread cast on the
water. Miss Terry personated Werner's wlfo ,
Alexander Tholrson , Goons , the usurping
baron , and the other characters seemed filled
to the personal peculiarities of their repre
sentatives.
Thu alterations made the plot highly mclo-
drnmatcl , and its horrors almost painfully
Intensified under tlio powerful treatment
glvaii | lt by Irving , Terry and Alexander.
The representation wns nccompanlcd by a
real wealth of scenery , dresses nnd proper
ties. Irwlng entered thoroughly intc
the charnctcra species of stilbllmaied Mnthlas ,
All the phases of Werner , his vaccllntlon ,
hngeard misery , family 'pride , whilom cow
ardice , comfortless despair , morbid fancy ,
heart sickness , and , indeed , toiundoes ol
pnsslon , ns depicted by living seoined to sc
interest and rivet the attention of the au-
dinncu that they appeared to rojuct the ordi
nary linpiosslon thnt "Werner" was only c
rlosot play. Moreover , this new version
makes "Werner" no longer a ono-pnrt play ,
becnuso equally excellent scope and oppor
tunity have boon clvon to every cliatactor
Irving will undoubtedly add It to his Amcr
lean repertoire.
Representatives of the American colonj
were present. Many Americans also , in tlu
ovunlng at Coyont Garden opera house , wol
coined back Scalchl , who had a contract ti
play in "DInornh. "

You are representatives of one of tin
greatest dcnominutitJiis of Christendom
bearing the name of Martin Luther , om
of the grandest characters of history i
greater man than ( Jhhrlemagno or Juliu
Ctesar. From the WuBtburg hps boamci

Reformation , helpinc to bring forth :
purer Christianity atjFwf : all generation
of men. Again I oxtmttyou u most cor
dial welcome within 'tho borders of No
braska. May you carry away momorlc ;
of pleasure and satisfaction.
To the governor's address Dr. Rhode
responded :
The general synod reciprocate the cor
diality with which you have woluome <
us , and in reply 1 congratulate the state o
Nebraska on its governor.
We hail from many states , each om
an empire. We did not know whethe
there would be room enough for us here
There is such a thing as a state withoti
the church , but it is a pagan state.
Such a state must go down to ruii
and carry its people with it. There is i
special relation between the progress o
which you boast and our church , becausi
of the principles enunciated by bin
whoso name you mentioned.
I nm certain 1 voice the desire of th
general synod when I express the hope
that you in the state , and that wo in lh <
church may together bo instrumental ii
making this slate and every other stat
in the union one grand empire and tha
the empire of God.
Mr. 0. F. Goodman escorted Hon. W
J. Brontch , mayor ofg this city , to th
platform , when he said :
My tirst personal acquaintance with
Lutheran organization was with the genera
synod at Canton , O. , thirteen years ago.
was very much pleased with the work at til
synod at that time , and then heard a serraoi
which made upon me the rcatcst Impressiui
of any to which 1 ever listened. It was dc
livered by the present president In them
lection of Omaha for this meeting the syno
was promised the spectacle of alive , vigoi
ous , prosperous and rapidly growing cit )
In this you will not bo disappointed. W
have to-day between 00,000 and 100,000 peopl
and plenty ot room tor more.
Nebraska is the most powerful field in th
west.tor the Lutheran church. A very lure
percentage of its population Is Scandinavia
and Qerman ; the former are all born Luthei
ans and the latter largrly so. There are ais
f > ,000 Danes and H.CXiO Swedes in Omaha , wh
have been pioneers In the advancement c
the cause of their church. We count th
Scandinavians as amonj , ' our very best citl
zens.
Sneaking ot the growth of th
Lutheran church In Omaha h
attributed the growth and prosperity of tli
present church and congregation to the zee
and energy of the Kov. Dr. Hielluy no dc
ceased , and of thu present pastor , Dr. J. t
Dutweller.
This synod was the lirst laige religion
body to select Omaha as its place of assmubl
and as the chief executive officer of this clt
It becomes uiy duty to , extend to you in be

In response Rev. J. B. Holwig , D. Def
of Springfield. Ohio , oiid :

euce and tor the cordial words with whit
you have greeted us.
After loud calls Rev. J.S. Detweili
came forward and said that if they ii
sitlcd' on extending the program UK
must take thu responsibility. Ho o :
pressed his joy that the governor an
mayor and the president of the synod
were till Uiero ,
This convention would bo a grand
thing for Omaha and thu state of Ne
braska. Ho had received numerous letters -
tors from delegates who oppressed feat
that there would not be room in Omahii
for the Lutherans when the Presbyter
ians had so recently been hero.
Wo have been growing since then
[ applause ) . He said that anything thai
the city afforded was at their services ,
Ho expressed his gratitude to the
governor and mayor for adding to the
pleasures of the occasion.
Rev. K. J. Wolf , ! ) . ! > . , volunteered the
remark that he did not feel that ho de
served any welcome. Ho had opposed
coining bore , but now that he had seen
the place and experienced the welcome ,
ho was thoroughly ashamed , and was
willing to do any amount of penance ,
The money that the church had put intc
home missions in Omaha was an ecclesi-
asticul investment that hud brought great
results. Ho did not know anything
about circuses , but ho had hoard of tlu
great trains Of cars upon which Itanium
was in the habit of transporting hiu
show from place to place. Ho would
like to have such a train of.cars and carr. >
around for exhibition this church will
its congregation and pastor , to show al :
the people how it pays to send money te
thu west for homo missions.
After the benediction was pronounced
the delegates 8 ] > cnt half an hour in tlu
Interchange of greetings , and thus tlu
proceedings of the Lutheran synod were
inaugurated.
Something About the Lutheran * .
The general synod is a delegate bodv
representing twenty-three synods , con
sisting of 873 ministers and 11)1,810 ) mem <
bers. It does not represent all the Luth
eran churches , by reason of the diver
sity ofjlanguage , and the various phase ;
of doctrine to bo found among the Chris
tians who hear this historic name. The
general synod is the oldest , and though
not the largest general body in the
church , it represents the life of tlu
Evangelical church of the reformation ,
as developed and modified by the religi
ous life of the free country in which wi
live. It has adapted itself to its sur
roundings : , and caught the spirit and
[ junius ot the now country in which it
has found a home.
No member of any of its churches ad
mits however , that it has departed from
the faith of the fathers. Its history is re
garded us the record of genuine and
legitimate progress. It makes no claim
that the Lutheran church alone is the
truu church on earth. It believes that its
faith is the most scriptural and the
purest , but it does not , on this account ,
unchurch all others. It recognizes and
extends a fraternal hand to all Evangeli
cal Christians , and co-operates with them
in general movements for the upbuilding
of Christ's kingdom. It is unwilling tc
enforce rigidly the rule "Lutheran pul
pits for Lutheran ministers only , and
Lutheran altars for Lutheran communi
cants only. " It invites to its pulpits
ministers of other Evangelical denomin
ations whenever Christian courtesy or the
cause of the Redeemer may require it.
The Lutheran church in America was
founded by the celebrated German divine
Rev. Henry Mclchoir Mulilenborg , who
arrived in this country in 1712. There
had been scattering colonies of Luther
ans hero since 1021 , but they were often
without regular ministers , and they had
no synodicul organization of any kind.
Six years after the landing of Muhlen-
berg the first synod was organized ir
Philadelphia. For moru than seventy
years the work of the church was under
the direction of individual synods. These
synods were scattered through various
states , were more or less independent ol
each other , and attended mainly to tlu
interests of the church upon the terntor\
which they rcspcetivelv occupied
In consequence of tills a spin :
of separation and jealousy , rathei
than of union and mutua
no-operation was fostered. To counter
act this spirit , and to promote the pros
perity of the church , the general synod
was organized in 1820.
The convention in that year was hole
m Hagerstown , Md. , and since that time
there nas been continued growth not
withstanding the fact that the general
synod south and the general councilbotli
largo bodies , have been formed by synods
withdrawing from it.
The present convention consists o :
102 delegates from all over the United
States , together with the officers of the
various church boards and societies. Its
sessions will bo open to all , and tno pro
ceediugs will bo Of great interest.
Blricllna fur the Collide.
The board of education of the Lutherat
.synod hold a session in the rocoptioi
room of Boyd's opera house yesterday tc
consider bids from various places for tlu
location of a college , which the Luther
aus propose to build. Thu session of tlu
board was executive , the members ad
milting the representatives of the sovera
towns seeking the college , listening to tlu
propositions which they had to make
and dismissing the representatives to re
cuivo and listen to the next ,
There was a spirited competiiiui :
between Kansas City and Atchison. Tlu
latter in represented by S. H. Glassiu
James W. Orr , J. E. Moore , S. H. Kelley
11. J. Chambers , A. C. Browne , C. E
Styles , L. W. Kogol , C. W. H , Ewing , 1
Heath and L. Kopcr and the dolugutior
did their utmost to secure thu in
stitution. Kansas City is represented b.i
Colonel S. F. Scott and W. A. Walker
who were also very actively engaged Ir
trying to have their city named. Heat
rieo and Witchita representatives wen
also rustling. The board will recommend
ommend to the general synod the plac <
which in its opinion is the best. Tlu
synod will pass upon the board's recom
mendatiou.

Notes.
The board of education of the general
synod met yesterday afternoon In thu re
ception room of the opera house and re
ceived overtures from the cities of Grand
Island , Beatrice and Lincoln in this
state , and from Abilene , Beloit , Minnesota
seta , and Atchison , in Kansas , for the lo
cation of the proposed Western Lutheran
college. Thu mayor and a largo delega
tion of the citizens of Atohison appeared
before the board in person to present the
claims of that place.
This morning the formal organization
of the synod will take place by the elec
tion of ollicers at I ) o'clock. At 10 a. in.
the opening sermon will bo preached by
the retiring president , Rev. M. Rhodes ,
1) . D. , of St. Louis.
Rov. Mosholm Rhodes , D. I ) . , the president -
idont of the general synod , was born in
Williumsburg , Blair county. Pa. , and is
now about fifty years of ago. In his earlier
life he was engaged in mercantile busi
ness , but abandoned that calling to pre
pare himself tor the gospel ministry. Ho
finished his course of study under the
tuition of Rov. H. Zeigler. 1) . D. , then
professor of theology in the Missionary
Institute at Solinsgrovc , Pa. lie became
pastor of the Luthornn church in Sun-
bury in 1803 , and after a few years' suc
cessful work in that Hold , ho accepted n
call to Lobiinon , from which place ho
subsequently removed to take charge of
a mission church in bt Louis. Dr.
Rhodes has been eminently successful in
this field , having succeeded in clearing
the church of debt , and making it a self-
sustaining congregation , which is now
one of the largest nnd most influential
in the entire general synod , The doctor
is an eloquent and popular preacher and
has brcn mtich sought after by Important
congregations that were in ueud of a
pastor. He is also a prolific author , hav
ing published a number of books , among
which were "Expository Lecture on
Paul's Letter to the Phillipians , " "Life
Thoughts/or Young Men1 "Recognition
In Heaven , " "Grace of Giving.V "Life
Thoughts for Young Women , " ' 'My Duly
to the Church of Which I nm a Member. "
lie received the decree of doctor of di
vinity from Wittenburg college about Urn
years ago.
A Surprising Improvement.
Northern Echo , an English paper : We
are in a position to state that the county
of Dunham will shortly produce a start
ling economic improvement in the matter
of fuel combustion and thu heating of
Bteam boilers. Protection has been ob
tained for the invention , and In the
course of a short time * we shall be in a
position to lay before our readers thu
practical details. In the meantime we
can only in the most general terms fore
shadow thu nature of thu result attain
able ; . The cubio bulk of fuel that will
henceforth bo required for marine steam
engines wil ) bo reduced by 70 per cent ,
giving a gain to the extent indicated by
that proportion to the stowage space for
cargo in ocean going ntoumships. Tlio
time of raising steam will bo diminished
in all steam boilers , stationary nnd
marine , by at least two-tlurds. The cost
of fuel consumption will bo reduced more
thin one-half , and thu production of
Kinoku will bo absolutely annihilated.
The process has bei-n made thu subject of
actual experimental demonstration.
Every test him been applied. Thu result *
wo have given above are the understated
consequences of experiments made under
circumstances the rcversu of favorable to
the invention.
