LONDON , Juno ! ) . Lord K.imlolph Cliur-
clilll was enthusiastically received by tbo
Wolvcrhampton workmen's clubs to-night.
Responding to an address lie said : The true
remedy for tradu depression Is economy In
public expenditures. Tbo workers must not
nllow Irchind to absorb nil tticlr nttcntlon ,
but must bring pleasure upon the govern
ment to prevent such extravagances as spend
ing 1,000,000 on tliu nrniy and admiralty
buildings , and l7,000 for decorating West-
ml list IT Abbey In honor oC tbo queen's ju
bilee. Churchill advised tbo unionists to
make a solid stand and show Gladstone that
they are equilly determined as himself in the
matter ot tbo Irish question. When parlia
ment reassembled a strong measure ought to
bo adopted to prevent the ui lines
bill being amended till it became use
less. Returning to the quest ion of economy ho
condemned the expenditures for the army
and navy and said under tlio present system
thu country was traveling at racing speed
along the road to utter and Irretrievable ruin.
In event of war England might , alter a
maddening delay and pouringoutinouey like
water , put 150,000 men In the Held. Doubt
less England bad a very powerlul lleet on
paper , but not a single fortress of strategic
Importance throughout the empire properly
armed and provisioned , and many entirely
unarmed and unprovlsloned. Kveiy depart
ment of the military and naval borvieo was
supplied with defective weapons , despite the
last expenditures. Theio was not at home
transportation facilities for 20,000 men.
Lord Uandolpb then related several
anecdotes to Illustrate tbo truth ot bis
statement ! * , depicting tbo helpless
condition of n p.irt of the lleet alter
bombarding Alexandria and the miserable
condition of urdnauco ammunition in the
Klinrtoum expedition. Ho hoard that In
Ibbo the ordinance committee designed sev
eral forty-three ton guns and asked the
Armstrongs to construct Ufteen of
them. Tbo Armstrongs protested
that tiio design was bad , but they
were told to mind tnelr own business and
make thu uuns. When they were made
Captain Noble refused to send them to sea ,
saying that tboy would burst. He was told
to mind his own business. Four of tbo guns
were put aboatd tbo Collingwood , and on
ttio second run , llring halt n cartridge ,
ono ot them burst. The whole \\ere
then condemned at n loss of
20,000. Lord ] tandol ] > li made
malicious other revolutions respecting the
inelllcloncy and badness in designs tor the
now vessels for tbo lleet. Ho said : "Perhaps
you understand the sort of system of expend
ing public money against which 1 dashed
myselt and utterly ret used to bo connected
with for a day or an hour. "
At the close of his speech , Lord Churchill
said ho had a plan which , while undoubtedly
radical , sweeping and lovolutlonary , would
pl.ice the country In a position to fairly per
fect Its military preparations , and save much
money. _
VICAIl WAIUIEN'S CALL/ .
Tlio Kngllsh Preacher Wanted Ily
Holy Trinity In Now York.

LONDON , Juno 3. [ Now York Herald
Cable-Special to the BKK. | i called this
afternoon at the vlcaragn of the Holy Trinity
church , Lambeth , and ascertained what its
Incumbent , Uov. K. Walpolo Warren , had
s.xld or done In reference to his call to the
church of the same name In Now York and
originally organised for young Dr. Tyng.
Vicar Warren said : "I have received a
cablegram from Aden Smith in behalf of Holy
Trinity , Now York , telling mo that as thulr
present rector was removing to Philadelphia
It had boon decided that a unanimous call
should bo sent to mo. In reply 1 have cabled
that.I . am Inclined to accept and to plcaso
mall tbo full details necessary for n decision.
In reply to that I received a cable saying
that the details had been mailed on the 2Sth.
There the matter ludeilnltely rests. My
rlews as a moderate churchman are well
known in Now York , where I was
in the autumn of 1S85. 1 must say
that the Americans 1 met were most
hospitable and kind to me. In faet , they
could not have tieatcd a bishop better. Their
reception of mo was most hearty. I should
like to live among thorn. My decision rests ,
ou account ot my family , principally upon
salary. 1 am. now getting between 000 and
700 per year gross , with free residence , and
living Is more expensive In Now York. "
WILL HEGltr.T HIS Din'AllTUliK.
I called upon .several of tils congregation
In the neighborhood , and found all expressed
deep regret at the prospect of his leaving.
The feeling may best bo shown by quoting
the words of Mr. Hopkins , a stationer of
Westminster bridge road , who Is ono of the
church wardens : Ho spoke feelingly in sayIng -
Ing ; "I am sure to a majority of the parish-
loners it would seem like folio wing Mr. War
ren to the grave. If going to the steamship
to wish him good-bye , th.it would bo
a heartrending scene , ho is so beloved. As
an Instance ot this feeling , wo had our usual
Whltsuu Tuesday dinner at the vlcarago. It
was then ho broke auow to us his probably
going to Now York. Wo listened almost
breathlessly , and when hn finished and the
time came for our usual replies , thcro was not
ouo of us who was not In tears. Ono after
another the vestry and wardens tried to speak ,
but each s.it down without being
nblu to utter a word. Mr. Warren has com' '
pletely evangelized this parish. The house ?
of the poor are cleaner , the people cleanoi
ami more respectable. Whore , when he
c.imo , wo had only an average ot aboui
twenty to early communion Sunday morn
ing , wo have now close on to one hundred.
There Is hardly a Sunday passes in tin
tourist 'season but some American ladj
or gentleman comes to scrvlci
who heard him when ho was in New York. '

An Incident of the Encampment.
WASHINGTON , June 3. [ Special Telccram
to the Hii.J : During the encampment last
week there was great excitement caused by
an attack made by the guards around the
Virginia troops' camp on two members of
the battalion of Ithodo Island , troops. Atone
ono time it was icarcd a sectional llzht
mUht result and that the camp would bo
turned Into a scene of bloodshed. The
wounded men were taken to the hospital
and their wounds dressed and soon after re
covered sufficiently to join their commands.
The excitement died out and the affair was
practically forgotten , but it was revived this
morning by the publication of the
following special from Richmond :
"Henry C. Wall , of company F , First
vircinla regiment , went to the national en
campment at Washington as private , but
returned as corporal , having been promoted
upon the camping ground. Corporal Wall
to-day explained his promotion aa follows :
While 1 was on guard duty , some soldiers
from a Rhode- Island regiment tried to pass
the line. I ordered them back and they In
sulted me , telllnir mo that they would shoot
mo If I ordered them back again. The result
was I stabbed two of them , and they wore In
the hospital when I left Washington. I re
united the matter to the chief otliccr of the
Ithodo island red men t , and ho said I did
right. Tlio matter was also reported to the
proper officer of my company , and 1 subse
quently received my piomotlon. "

ues to sign his name as justice of the peace ,
and has refused to surrender his oflico to
General John Kvans , formerly of Urooklyn ,
N. Y. , who was appointed to succeed him.
Oliver , in letters to the president and attor
ney general , denies the right of the president
to remove him. and claims that such re
moval can be effected only for cause nnd
then by the supreme court of the District of
Columbia after due notice. Ho also re
quests that the order of removal bo levokod
and the case referred to the court named for
trial. The attorney general , In his reply ,
holds that this method of appointing and re
moving justices was changed by a subse
quent enactment and that the president
acted wholly in accordance with the law. It
is piobable that the courts will have to settle
the matter.

their Saturday pay day. They claim that
there are not half a dozen npn-unlon brick
layers in Chicago. Many of those who have

sell their goods to us or to the contractors
who will agree to their teiins , the strike will
soon settle Itself and the bosses will itand a
good chance of being left out In the cold. "

The couple were living as man and wito un
der the name of Burton. Mrs. Rivers was
the wife of James W. Rivers , an actor known

with the man Hall , who to-day succeeded in
doing what Rlvors had attempted two
months ago. After shooting Mrs. Rivers ,
Hall cut her throat and cut his own , and Is
