WASHINGTON , Dec. 26. The reported at
tempts In different parts of the country to
organize Fenians for a raid Into Canada have
not an yet been drawn to the attention of the
Statu department and nothing Is known upon
th-i subject beyond the matters set out In
the 'newspaper publication ! . The officials do
not give the smallest credence to the storltn
n'j'l are of opinion that the purnone In Bct-
tlnij them nlloat Is to frighten the Canadians
Into keeping their soldlern at homo and fall
ing.to.nnswer the appeal of England for vol
unteers for the African campaign.
Lord Pnunccfote , the British ambassador.
Is too well experienced In American methods
to make this matter the basis of olllclal rcp-
mcntatlons Hi this stage and , Indeed , It Is
Badi nt the State department that he has not
even found It necessary to remonstrate
ngr.lnst the alleged violation of neutrality
Involved In the recruiting of soldiers for the
Boer army within the limits of the United
States. U Is suggested that the explanation
for this attitude Is a preference on the part
of the British to deal with such pcrsonsins
'
may enlist here for the Boer army after t'hey
leave , the boundaries of the United States.
And It Is not doubted that all of these movq-
me'n'tti that really promise to amount to any
thing arc being caretully watched with a
view to catching , the volunteers at some pon-
vcn.lont point by a fleet cruiser
Sbou'ld It turn out that a Fenian movement
Is factually discovered and brought to the
attention of the United States government
sharp nnd prompt repressive action .will betaken
taken , not only to prevent the violation of
Iho neutrality lai\a , but nlso to save the
raiders the.ninelvts from such consequences
of their actions a. befell the unfortunate
Fenian raiders of 1SCO.
The talk of a Fenian raid Is well calcu
lated to cause alarm an the Canadian side
of the border , as the people of that section
were greatly agitated during the former
Fenlnn excitement. Although an . actual
movement occurred then the chief trouble
occurred over alarming reports of Invasions
which never took place. Something of n
panic took possession of the Canadians on
the border and many women- burled their
valuables on the Islands of the border rivers.
On the \merlcan side the excitement was
Intensified by local Fenian organizations ,
which drilled In apparent anticipation of a
movement , although these proved to be
purely local bodicB more or lew sympathiz
ing with the movement , but wholly without
systematic connection with the head or-
ganlzatl&n.

Dr. Scbolleld said In part :
"We are met , dear friends , not to mourrn
n defeat , but to celebrate a triumph. He
walked with Rod and he was not , for Hod
took him. There In the west. In the presence
of great audiences of 12,000 of his fellowmen -
' men , Bed spoke to him to lay It all down
and come home. He would have planned
1 It so.
"This Is not the place , nor am I the man
to present a study of the llfo nnd character
of Dwlght L. Moody. No one will ever
question that we are today laying in the
kindly bosom of the earth the mortal body
of n great man. Whether we- measure great
ness by character , by qualities of Intellect or
by things alone , Dwlght L. Moody must bs
accounted great. The basis of Moody's char
acter was sincerity , genuineness. He had
an Inveterate aversion to all forms of sham ,
unreality and pretenso. Most Of all did ho
detest , religious pretense and cant.
"Along with this fundamental quality
Moody cherished n. great love rf righteous
ness. Ills first question concerning any
proposed action was , 'Is It right ? ' but these
two qualities necessarily at tlio bottom of
all noble characters were In him suffused
and transfigured by divine grace. Besides
all this Moody was In n wonderful degree
brave , magnanimous and unselfish. Doubt
less tbH unlettered Now England country
boy became what he was by the grace of
Hud.
"Secret of Mood } ' ' * I'ower.
"The secret of Dwlght L. Moody's power
Icy : First In a definite experience of
Christ's snvlng grace. He had passed out of
death Into life , and he knew It.
j "Second Moody believed In the divine nil-
| thority of the Scriptures. The bible was to
I him .the voice of Rod and he made It resound
i ns such in the consciences of men.
j , "Third He was baptized with tle ) Holy
I Spirit and know that ho was. U was to him
'us definite nn experience ns his conversion.
I "Fourth He wn-j a man of prayer. He be ?
| ] le\cd In ft living and unfettered Hod.
I "But , fifth , Moody believed in work , In
i ceaseless effort , in wlso provision. In power
organization and of publicity.
I "I like to think of Dwlght L , Moody In
'
heaven. I like to think of him with his Lord
| and with Elijah. Daniel , Paul , Augustin ,
i Luther , Wesley and FInney.
i "Farewell , for a little time , great heart :
may a double portion of the Spirit be vouch-
Isafcd to us who remain. " "
j Ilcv. Mr. Torrny followed Dr. Schoflold.
. Ills eulogy wan based upon Meody's life ox-
ompllfylng the grace of Hod.
Following Mr. Torrey' remarks were made

frr Dwlght L. Moody , thu evangelist , were
held today In C'nlvary Baptist church sim
ultaneously with the funeral services at
Norlhfleld. The auditorium of the church ,
which scats nbout 3,000 persons , was filled.
The service was of nn undenominational
character , arranged by tbo friends of Mr.
Mocdy here , and a number of ministers of
nil denominations were present.
The Eervlceci opened with the rendering of
Chopin's funeral march , Rev. F. It. Morse ,
'nrtittnnt ' pastor of the church , conducted
tlu ceremonies.
In the course of his remarks Mr. Moore
said Mcody did not read the New Testament
In tl-e original Greek , nor the Old Testa-
incut In thu original Hubiow , but ho was un
areiduous student of the English bible. He
said It was hardly exaggeration to say
tint Mohdy Was jnore familiar with the Eng
lish scriptures than' any one In this coun
try.

Hev. Dr. H. S. McArtbur. In his address ,
recnllfd a peculiar coincidence dating back
to last summer , when he had written Moody
asking him to preach In a tent and at night
ut the Calvary church. Moody replied that
hn was not feeling well , but concluded :
" 1 shall bo with you , though , and wo shall
have a great service In Calvary church. "
Dr. McArihur'sald :
"Moody has now taken hU place among the
Immortals. Moody's evangelism marks nn
era In the history of ovnngcllzatlon In Eng
land and America. Without the learning
of Iho schools he was still an educated man
In his iphere Moody was a willing etuiicnt
iti Oie school of Christ , which after all u
tuu noblest of nil schools. "
Dr. McArthur's address was followed by
the Ringing of one of Moody's favorite gospel I
hyn ns. "S-omo Day the Silver Cord will
Brink. "
Rev. Dr. Hlllln of Plymouth church ,
Brooklyn , said.
"Moody was. In my opinion. ' th ? greatest
ovHiigellst since WhltPfleld and since the
Aj-ostlo Paul there has been no man who has
preached to so great n multitude of people
and led so many to Christ. To the end of
time Moody's teachings will last. The sim
plicity of his words wen' direct to the
heart of common men : Ills conscientious
ness , his enthusiasm , his Inspired common
sense , his kindness , nil made him especially
fitted for his work. "
Memorial services In the Metropolitan
temple will be held Thursday night.

The point of contention Is the procedure
to he followed In filling the vacancies
caused by the recent resignation of Commis
sioners Pryor mid Ellis. The democrnts
have construed the law to provide-that such
vacancies nre to be filled by the remaining
members of the board and on this theory
Judge John II. Fulton was appointed to fill
one of the vacancies.
Commissioners Poyntz and Fulton are to
meet hero Thursday to select the third mem

make the assertion that these vacancies
should be filled by appointment of fiov-

the admitted handwriting of the defendant. "
"Is your opinion decided ? "

campaign of 18G ! ) Mr. Plait was a central
figure. Anything from him was worth space.
It was before the St. Louis convention and
he was HiippcM'd to carry In his pocket the
seventy-two votes of the Empire state. It

U IH discouraging to nn Indian agency
physician , writes n correspondent of the
New York Post , to be sent for with n mes
sage that his services nre ill gently needed
by the family of one of hU charges fifty
milt ? distant , and after IIP has ridden horse
back half a day to teach the spot of their re-
porte- . ! abode , find the tepees utruek nnd the
Inhabitants and all vestiges of Indian life
moved off to some Indefinite place , the locu
tion of which he can only discover through
hours of patiently following their trail. It
Is more discouraging still for him to come
up with the parly and find the sick , In need
perhaps nf surgical amlstance , being filled
with the exorcism * , the Incantatlona and
the feo-fnw-fum of a medicine man. Yet
such Is one of the many vexations Incidental
to the practice of medicine among these
scions of the aboriginal Americans nnd the
gentlemanly graduate of the eastern med
ical college who has secured an appointment
to such olllee , with Its $1,200 of annual nal-
nry , f > aon comes to consider such experience ?
na n part of his professional curriculum.
The medicine- man has In the past been
the constant bane of the authorized phy
sician nt many of the agencies. This na
tive Ksculaplus Is n relic of tribal times
and conditions which nre now fast vanish
ing from among the Indians and he , too ,
Is realizing lhat Ills occupation Is slipping
away. Accordingly hl exertions nre mul
tiplied to maintain bis bold upon the eon-
lldence of his tribal associates and when
one fulla 111 he Is quite certain to be on
hand , with his eagle feathers and enchanted
sticks , with his buekakln bundle of herbs
and roots nnd with bis wrnderful narra
tives of recently effected cures.
The treatment of the uchlccros , as they
nre called , appears to be based upon the
Imaginations of his patlenls. Unt. In addi
tion to this , certain of them , im those among
the Plmas and Papagoes of Arizona , sup
plement their operations upon the subject's
mind with vigorous massage and wllh In
ternal or applied administrations of certain
Indigenous herbs : among these the most
commonly need Is the grensewced or creo
sote bush ( Larroa-Mexlcana ) . The roots and
leaves of this are expressed and used as n
liniment , rubbed In by Ihc massage. The
rattlesnake weed IB valued also , and It is
believed lo bi > an antidote for snakebite- .
Whether It Is this weed thai Is used by tha
Moquls or not Is uncertain , but assuredly
they have In their decoction not aloii } n
remedy , but a preventive of poisonous re-
units from the bite of the rattlesnake. Vnr
days prior to the outlandish dances bien
nially performed by these Indians , they Im
bibe thl.3 brew. During the ceremonies they
ard repeatedly bitten , but the virus has no
more effect upon them than It would have
upon the lardy jowls of a hog.
SometlmcH the leaves of the mesqulto.
are macerated and poulticed upon sores and
swellings with favorable effects. The In
dians are peculiarly susceptible to sores and
to suppurations. H la the exception when
wounds upon them heal by primaVy union.
If the Indian receives n scratch upon the
skin , Instead of its healing and drying up
It will Inflame , fester and become nn ulcer.
A brulso of n superficial bone will often
develop into necrosis , advance to septi-
cemla and end in dealh. The mesqultc ,
however , makes a good salve and the bean
of the plant Is used by Die Plmas as a fcod.
The gum which the stems exude , very much
like that of the ncacla In its properties , Is
esteemed by the beaux and holies of the
tribes ns a bcndollne , because of glutinous
tenacity with which It will allay the hnir
and the hard polish It gives to Its surface.
But frequently , . ( he medlclno ( .nan Is what
I'n , tbo , parlance qf the newspaper roomp In
called a "fake. " Ills diagnosis of the dis
tress of the patient Is that It is caused by
Ihc gnawings of serpents smuggled into the
suffcrer'n body by the spells of malignant
witches. Accordingly , his counteractive Is
to vanquish the witch , dispel the sorcery
and drive out the snakes. To do this ho
will dance , beat his tomtom and emit from
bis larynx , the most frightful .sounds , while
the patient lies consumed by fever or racked
with "nerves. "
There is no doubt that to the crudity of
the methods of treatment of diseases by
the native doctors Is due , In a largo meas-
urp , the rapid passing of the Indian. Hut
aside from this the Indian's mode of life
Is highly conducive to his speedy elimina
tion as an entity acnong the humans. In
Iho old days , when the buffalo .roamed
everywhere across the plains and fur
nished prime "beef on Iho hoof , pelf-kept
and ever ready for the Indian's butchering ,
then the wigwams were moved from place t >
place , keeping In close proximity to the-
herd nnd now ground and open air , plenty
to eat and comfortable akins for wear kept
the Indian in a hardy stale nf health. Hut
after the white mini began to fill the chinks
of the. Hncklofl anil exterminate the bison
then Ihu red man began to suffer. Starva
tion , supplementing their losses In battles
with government soldiers , would have'de
stroyed the hift vestlRC of Indian llfo long
ere this but for the government-supply of
rations.

Is Colonel linden-Powell. no closely ho-
sieged nt Mnfeklng by the BcorH. At Alder-
shot over u year ago he built n seriPH of
kites .which , when flown In tandem fashion ,
wore capable of lifting a man 100 or 200 feet
In the nlr. In one of the recent dispatches
to a London paper It was reported that Col
onel Bade.n-Powell employe * his leisure
moment ! * In directing his men in Iho con-
Htrm'llon of kitci * for military observations
Just as Cecil Hhodofl In Klinberlny Is urn-
ploying the men In rond-hulldlng. By
moans of the huge kites photogrnphrt of Ihc
enemy's position nnd liitrencbmenls have
been taken ut varloiw altitudes. These
photographs have bocn of special Importance
In locating the Boor iroopi * and they have
been obtained without any rl k of life or
limb. All that DIP bullct.s of thu uncmy
can do is to cut tlio kite fctrlngs or smash
the photographing nppnratuu that IH Kent up
with the kites.
The employment of the military kite in
a practical way during actual hoilllltlcx by
biich .1 recognized expert n.i Colonel Baden-
Powell will largely decide Its imefulii'sa
as a part of the equipment of nn army.
Tlmo and again this clever officer huu ex

HKUI.1N , Dec. 2C , . The Herman govern
ment has definitely abandoned nil Idea of
Requiring the Danish West Indlea , cither
I by purchase from Denmark or othorwlna. for
' n coaling Million. The correspondent of the
Associated Press received ( his Inforhmtloti
from mi Authoritative source today. The
Herman embassy \VnahliiRton haw learned
thai Riich nn nttempt would bo looked upon
by the Americans ns nn unfriendly net and
ns n iierlotiB Intrlngcincnl of the Monroe
doctrine.
According to tlio same nuthorltles the re
ports representing that Denmark Is HegHlit-
Ing to sell the Islands to the United State *
tire either entirely premature or without
foundation.
Dr. Pngflche , lender of the- National Lib
erals In the llclchstng. has Juat returned
from n four months' trip In the United
States , Cuba and the West Indies. The trip
was undertaken for the united Herman sugar
Interests , the Interests of Dr. PasHche being
to etudy thoroughly what prospects caiiu
sugnr had In the regions through which ho
passed of competing successfully with Her
man beet mignr under the existing American
tariff.
In the cournv of an Interview today ho
expressed the opinion that Herman sugar
would be driven out of the Unite ; ! States
market within three years unless the United
States grants better terms than the present
tarllf. He will fully discuss the matter
In the Uclclistng mid will publish n book
on the subject. Dr. I'assche , who says lie
greatly enjoyed his experiences In the western -
| ern world , speaks enthusiastically of tlio
"phenomenal prosperity everywhere appar
ent In the United States. " He believes u
way will be open to effect a commercial
treaty with the United States wblcli will be
beneficial to both countries.
Armored trains will hereafter be it regular
feature of Herman war equipment. Exten
sive experiments hnve been ma do on the
military railroad line from Schoenberg to
Kunersdorf. Various types of plntes have
been used , nil made at Krupp's works. U
hns been found that a light armored train ,
with an armored car before the engine In
which a machine gun can be placed , adjust
able for firing In three directions , IB the
most available type. These cars are open
at the top.
There has been another heavy ( snowfall
In Hermany today and street traffic Is greatly
Impeded. One lesson from the severe storms
of the last three weeks Is that the accumulator
later electric car system Is n failure. The
Heriln lines will substitute overhead wlree ,

KIO JANEIRO , Dec. 2fi. The fiazctta do
Xotlcla of Kin Janeiro has published n cartoon
teen bearing the heading :
"After the extinction of the Latin race. "
It represents John Hull and Drathcr Jon
athan using the globe for a game of foot
ball. Underneath are the words : I
"They ivlll probably undo with their feet
what they ila with their hands. "
The Pnlse Is bitterly opposed to the pol
icy of the United States and Great , Britain
am ) advices the South American countries to
beware of alliances In Europe and America.
An article recently published In 'the rtc-
vuo dcs Mondt'S of Paris , entitled "Lc I'eu-
ple Uspagnol" and signed by Alfred Foullle ,
has caused great indignation in Brazil and
Argentina and probably in other South
American countries. H asserts that the
terns "Spanish-America" and "Latin-
America" arc erroneous , because all pureblooded -
blooded Spaniards and Portuguese have died
out In these places and only mesllcos , or
mixed races , remain , French , Herman and
English elements entering largely Into their
composition , The writer also said Dial
"Brazil is a great country of negroos. "
ThlRfntatomcnt Is refuted , , however , It be
ing pointed out that the ne.grces and mil-
latloes do not form more than one-third
i of the 16,000,000 Inhabitants of the ropub.-
llc , though to a casual observer It would
i appear that those elements strongly pre-
i dominated. It Is added that the races of
southern Kurojie. Spaniards , Portuguese ,
, French and Italians , stand the climate bet
ter thnn the negroes- .
i Count Antomelll , the Italian minister to
' Brazil , has had many conferences with the

I tary of finance In regard to the new differ-
i ential tariff recently votoil by the chambers
and sanctioned by the executive. It Is
; i.nown that ( bo plans pioprsed by Italy ,
, Franco and Spain were all rejected as be
ing highly prejudicial to the Interests of
Brazil.
Dr. Plza , Brazilian minister to Franco ,
who has been here for. about three months ,
has had repeated ' . onfcronres wjth the prej-
1 Ident and the cabinet In reference to thin
matter and when bo returnn to Frusicc he
will carry with him authorization to iie o-
i Hate lit Paris ) treaties of csmtnuive with
