After y a new interest will spring up in baseball matters. To-daj- 's contests will end the present series of the West versus West and the East versus East, and the Eastern teams will start for the West. As we all know, the Eastern fellows have not been west of the mountains so far this season, and their fortunes during their first trip will be watched with ex- ceeding interest by East and West alike. Certainly there are already many conjectures as to what the Eastern clubs will and will not do when they come West. Predictions of a very conflicting kind have been numerous, so much so that almost everybody interested in the League struggle has an individual opinion on the matter. The most important opinion, and one that is held by many, is that the aspir- ing champions from Boston will, as they have done previously, fall considerably to pieces. The opinion is of primary interest just now to local patrons of the game, because the Bostons' first Western appearance this season is here on Wednesday. It may be that circumstances are all in favor of the Bostons starting out here; indeed, it would seem thatthey are not destined to be troubled much at this city during their first trip. THEY ABE SLUGGERS of the first water when the very best of pitch- ing material is not facing them, and it is an un- fortunate fact that there is not that kind ot material here just now as far as is known. Of course we don't know what may happen, but it is reasonable to expect that our array of pitchers this week will not be a formidable one. With this very great deficiency the Bostons as they aro this year will more than counterbalance by batting all other short-coming- There is also another fact, viz.: That both of their star pitchers, Clarkson and Radbourne, were never in better condition than now. So far they have done wonderfully good work. But past records show that Clarkson, when at bis best, was a mark for Pittsburg. This, however, would be more consoling if we had two or three pitchers also in good form, but the probability seems to be that if the local players are fortunate enoueh to size Clarkson up, the Bostons will, at the same time, be finding the measure of a local pltcser. However, Boston has no certainty whatever of getting through the Western clubs without having their percentage of victories considerably reduced. The preponderance of opinion seems to be that New York will rise very much nearer the top before its Western series is ended. Kecfe and Welch are in excellent trim, and Crane is also reported IN FIBST-CLAS- S SHAPE. However, the present champions will not be here until they have gone through the mill at the other three Western cities. This is favor- able to Pittsburg, as the tatter's pitchers ought to be then, if they are to be so this season. The Phil adelphlas are the third aggregation that rome here during the trip, and that also is favorable to Pittsburg, because it will allow time for injured and indisposed players of the local team to get into better shape. The Sena- tors follow the Bostons here, and the home team ought certainly to capture three of the four games from them. It, therefore, seems that the greatest disadvantage of the first East versus West scries is Bostons' coming here first. There are no decided facts to show that Phil- adelphia will hold its own among the Western clubs this trip. The Phillies will be away fi ora home and they are not at present as strong as is cenerally supposed. However, with fine weather, the 16 games on the home grounds ought to be profitable and Interesting ones. It is one of the best parts of the season and may be the deciding point of several of the clubs' prospects. After the game here betn een the New Yorks and the local team, on July 6, the latter team will then go East and visit all the four Eastern cities. This is another proof of the stupidity of the present schedule. The home club has scarcely been at home this season yet, and a series of 16 games at home, after so much traveling, seems very short when it is known that the club must go on another long trip at the expiration ot that run. VERY EASY WINNERS. The Standards Defeat the Thompsons With-o- ut Much Trouble. The Standards and the W. R. Thompsons played an interesting game Saturday. The feature of the game was the pitching and bat- ting of Mason, for the Standards. He struck out 16 men.

The race of the Grand Prix de Paris was rnn and was won by the bay colt Vasistas by one length. The chestnut colt Pourtant was second, four lengths ahead of the bay colt Aerolitbe, third. There were 13 starters. The last betting was SO to 1 against Vasistas, 30 to 1 against Pourt-an- t, 18 to 1 against Aerolithe, 2 to 1 each against Maypole and Minthe, 5 to 1 acalnst Phlegethon. 10 to 1 against Frisco. 12 to 1 against Amateur, 25 to 1 against Kazan, SO to 1 against Fligny, 40 to 1 against Flatteur. 50 to 1 against Amullo, and 200 to 1 against Ventre-ble- u. Maypole was very nervous and did not take paitlnthe preliminary canters. After three false starts they all got away.Ventrebleu made the running, going very rapidly, and led by ten lensrths to the hill top! Maypole, one of the favorites, was then third and was making stren- uous efforts to maintain her position, but was steadily falling back. Aerolithe and Fhlecetb-u- n appeared to go to the front, but after a des- perate struggle Vasistas and Pourtant became masters of the situation. Kazan came in fourth, Minthe fifth and Maypole sixth. THE RED'S NEW PITCHER. Cincinnati Si ens Hosted, n Young Man of the International Lengae. New York, Jane 16. The Cincinnati club has signed anew pitcher. His name is Husted, and he belonged to the London, Ontario, Club. Just now he is in Gloucester, N. J., and has been telegraphed to join the Cmcinnatis here on Monday, where yesterday's deferred game is to be played with the Brooklyns. As ho Is an unknown qnantity as jet, he will not be put in the box against Byrne's men. He will be saved, and first tried against some less dangerous The Kewarks had been determined tin for the trial, ami Monday was the day set, but this afternoon's rain spoiled the plan, and Monday must be given to the Brooklyns in- stead. If the Cincinnatis should get away ahead in the game, there appears to be no good and sufficient reason whj the new man should not be put in for a trial inning anyhow. JI.1I KEENAN DEAD. Jake Kilrnin'a Backer Closes His Career at His Boston Horar. IFrXCIAL TKLEGBAJI TO THE DISPATCn.1 Boston, June 16. Jim Keenan, the sport- ing man and backer of Jake Kilraln, died : 8 o'clock at his home in Somerville, after a - ng illness. He gained his reputation as a sporting m- - by being one of the four backers of John L. Sullivan in his fight with Paddy Rj an. When Sullivan and Kilraln be- gan talking fight everybody expected to see Keenan lay nut his dollars on the Bo-to- n boy. Bnt he surprisea everybody by coming out for Kilraln, and has been Jake's warmest sup. porter. Keenan was the proprietor of a low groggery on Portland street, nhich he named "The Police Gazette Exchance," and cleared all the way from 15.000 to 20,000 over the bar alone ach year. SENT TnEIR OPINIONS IN. President Nimlck nod Others Deal With the Classification Rule. It was stated on good authority last evening that President Nimick has forwarded his opinion of the Brotherhood demands to Presi- dent Young. It is understood that Mr. Nimick's opinion is opposed to any material change in the classification rule. He. however, according to report, is not unfavorable to a full discussion of the question. It is further stated that Cleveland and Indianapolis are of a simi- lar opinion to Mr. Nimick. President Young has received communica- tions from all League presidents on the matter, and Messrs. Day, of New York, and Spaldmg, of Chicago, are reported as being in favor of a change. President Young states that the opinions will not be promulgated for two or three weeks, and that it is not likely a meeting will be held to discuss the question until the fall. Uphnm's Challenge. Arthur TTpham, the champion middle-weig- of Connecticut, who journeyed from Ncrwlch to box at the Johnstown boxing benefit, called at the JPolice Gazette office yesterday and left the following reply to James Qulgley's iof Waterbury) challenge: New Yore, June 14, 1889.

President Howell, of the Wheeling Baseball Club, was in the city yesterday trying to sign a local pitcher and a catcher. He declined to name the men he was after. His club is in a poor condition, as far as its pitching power is concerned. As Good as Ever. Number 8, of Goodwin Bros.' "Official Turf Guide," has been received at this office.

Figures rnxnished By Colonel Eogers of the Information Bureau SHOW THE HUMBEB DEAD AND LIYING. Twenty-Fir- e Thousand SnrrlTors Accounted For la the En Boroughs. Judge Advocate General Eogers, of the Johnstown Bureau of Information, now estimates that not over 4,000 lives were lost in the flood. He bases his calculation on the census returns and the reports which have been made to his office. He thinks that the number given will certainly cover the loss, and that it may be as low as 3,000. Irnoit a staff cobresfosdknt.1 Johnstown, June 16. How many souls went down in the awful flood of May 31 is probably a matter for historians to decide. Certain it is that the exact number who lost their lives by the bursting of the South Fork dam will not be known for months to come, and perhaps never. For the present, however, official records will say that there were between 3,000 and 4,000 persons drowned. This is quite a laige difference between the estimates made a week ago, that the total number of lives lost would be from 12,000 to 15,000. The official report of Colonel and Judge Advocate General John Eogers, of Phila- delphia, who was at the head of the Bureau of Information, was made to Adjutant Gen- eral Hastings The report was compiled after a careful research, and the estimates are based upon figures furnished by the census compiler of the town. The, report is, in substance, as follows: NOT OVER 4,000 LOST. "Mr. Charles B. Clark, of Altoona, pre- pared a directory two months before the flood, according to wMch there were 29,125 people living in the district affected by the disaster. Deducting from this the 25,000 survivors that have been registered so far, it is fair to presume that 4,125 have been lost. In order that the margin of calcula- tion may be narrowed as much as possible, I have arranged with Mr. Clark for the proof sheets of his directory and census re- turns as a basis of comparison with the other lists now in our possession. After marking off the names of the survivors as registered and of the identified dead, the re- mainder of his directory and census returns will include the missing and the remainder ui kiic uuiucuuucu ucau, "I am of the opinion, after much consider- ation of the entire field of inquiry, and re- membering the pronenessof almost everyone to exaggeration in estimating populations and crowds ofany kind, 3,000 is a fair esti- mate of the number lost. Certainly 4,000 will, in my opinion, entirely cover it. NO OErHANS FOE ADOPTION. Applications have been received from in- dividuals offering homes to the fatherless or motherless waifs, but so far there has been but oue orphan in the Conemaugh Valley found whose adoption by outside parties could be legally consummated. This was accomplished by the Pittsburg Ladies Chil- dren's Aid Societv. The following fs a complete list of the bodies found up to 6 o'clock this evening: Fourth ward schoolbouse 263 P. K.

All of them were the remains of females, and so decomposed that their features were not recognizable. AS A SANITARY 11EASTJBE it was deemed advisable to bury three Tof them at once, and the other will be held un- til morning. The latter body had upon it a solid gold hunting case watch which was stopped at 4 o'clock. There were no initials to indicate the identity of the wearer. The following is a description of the bodies found: Female, unknown, aged 22, weight 140, height 5 feet 7 inches, light complexion, dark hair, no shoes, black and white underskirt, blackalDaca dress, red waist, brown ribbed stockings.

The demon of in- sanity is already beginning to assert itself among the survivors of the flood here. This afternoon a man was seen on Main street, beginning to undress himself right in the open thoroughfare, and his peculiar actions created considerable excitement among the people. The poor man was almost nude be- fore anyone had become aware of what he was doing. Then they tried to take hold of him and put him into safe quarters; but the poor creature resisted and kicked, bit and shrieked like a maniac. After considerable difficulty he was over-- Eowered and locked up. He will probably be sent to Dixmont. Heinbichs. A MOTHER MADE A MANIAC. The Loss of Three of Her Six Children Drives Kirs.

Mr. George Eowiand, proprietor of the Eowland House, of this city, had a cousin, Mrs. Ella Eow- land, and a family of six children living at Johnstown when the flood came. He has learned that three of the children, all girls, were drowned, and that the other three, two boys and a girl, were saved. The shock and exposure have so preyed upon the mind of the mother that she bas become a raving maniac. Her friends have taken her from the scene ot her fad bereavement Caught In the Ohio River. rKFECIAX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCH.l Pabkeesbtjbo, June 16. Among the relics of the Johnstown disaster, caught in the Ohio river, was the top of a bureau, taken out by some boys at Letart. The bureau contained two small drawers, in one of which were the picture ofabeantifnl child of two or more years, and a pocket book which contained $12 15. The articles are held for identification.

Peculiar Queries of All Sorts Received at tho Information Bureau. rnOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Johnstown, June 16. The Bureau of Information, which is now in charge of Colonel John Q. Sogers, affords a splendid opportunity for a student of human nature. The bureau is daily in receipt of hundreds of letters from all parts of the country and from alljclasses of persons. The majority of them are of a pathetic nature, while some are so nonsensical as to command nothing but contempt. Some contain photographs of missing relatives, with heartrending ap- peals for an immediate search. Others are of such a character as to stamp them at once as business advertisements, while offers from childless and young married couples are frequently received. One enterprising young ladv, of Pittsburg, writes to this ef- fect: Presuming that some of the merchants of Johnstown are about to commence business again and will need assistance in their work I respectfully submitthls as an application for position as bookkeeper. A man in Eookingham, N. C, writes for a full description ot the dam, including length, height, width of base, whetherper-pendicula- r, and whether it was made of stone, earth or wood. One communication from a Philadelphia publishing house to General Hastings coolly requests the official to forward the picture of the young man who has been referred to ns the "Nameless Paul Eevere," and a resident of McConnellsburg, whose father was drowned, wants to know whether the company in which he is insured will make the payment- - without presentation or policy- - e letter contains the information that the policy was carried down the stream during the flood. The department is not by any means in want of suggestions as to how to carry on the work ot resurrection, and many offers have been made by outside persons, com- paratively unknown, to relieve General Hastings of the command at once. A Phil- adelphia housekeeper wanted General Has- ting to get her a country girl for general housework, and to see that she possessed good recommendations. McSwigan. LOST EIGHT OF THEIR MEMBERS. The United American .llrcbanlc of Johns- town Dice! nml Call llio Rolls. tKBOM A STAFF COEBESFOSDBNT. Johnstown, June 16. A general meet- ing of all the members of the Order of United American Mechanics of Johnstown and vicinity was held this afternoon m the Seventh ward schoolhouse for the purpose of making an official report of the number of members of the order who were lost. There were seven junior councils and three senior councils represented at the meeting. They aggregate a total membership of about 1,250 men. After the rolls had been called it was found that but eight members of the order were missing. Seven of these are known to have been drowned. The oth- er one did not answer when his name was called, and ns his friends have not seen him since one hour before the flood, it is sup- posed that he went down beneath the waters. The names of the members who were drowned nreW. H. Carter, weighmaster at the Cambria Iron Company's works, who lived on Cinder street, Millville; Edward Barker, of Morrellville; "William Beck, wife and two children, of "Woodvale; Harry C. Keedy, wife and one child, of Kernville; Lincoln Rhodes, wife and two children, of Kernville; Frank "Wheat, of Johnstown; George Hammer, of Moxham, and Fred Beam, of Conemaugh. The bodies of "Wheat and Hammer are the only ones that have been recovered. It was officially stated that Hiram Young, of No. 85 Coun- cil, lost his wife and one child; J. L. Hite, of Kernville Council. lost his wife; B. F. Hidenthai, of No. 388, lost his wife and five children. A committee was appointed to continue the investigation and report at another meeting to be held "Wednesday. Several members who have not reported, and from whom no tidings can be received, are also supposed to be drowned. The quarters of the order are among the best in the vicinity. They occupy the whole of the school build- ing, and supply and feed 2,600 people daily. McSwigan. RED CROSS CONSOLIDATION. Tbo Hospitals of the Association to Bo United Under Tents. FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Johnstown, June 16. The Bed Cross Association are about' to move their hospi- tals and consolidate them into one general medical department. The latter will be in a number of large tents in an old orchard on the side of the hill, beyond the Seventh ward school house. They have three hospi- tals at present. One of them is immediate-l-v behind the camps of Contractor laborers, and it was decided yes- terday that this was unnecessary. The association has had considerable trouble securing tents which were ordered to be given by the Quartermaster General at "Washington. It was proposed to erect a wooden building for the hospital, and this will be done, provided the tents are not given them y. At the association's hospital on Kernville hill to-d- there were only two cases. One of them was measles, and the other erysipe- las. The trained nurses who have been brought here are from Bellevue Hospital, New York, and Florida, and are doing effe- ctive-work. McSwigan. A New Qnnrtcrmnstcr Appointed. tFROH A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Johnstown, June 16. Colonel Thomas E." "Watt, the popular District Passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Pittsburg, has been appointed Quartermas- ter of the Fourteenth Regiment, vice E. C.

The colonel has had considerable experience in the Quartermas- ter's Department, and during the war dis- tinguished himself for ability in transport- ing troops along the line of the Pennsyl- vania Eailroad. McSwigan. TOOK THE ENTIRE STORE. Tounir William Morlo Takes Possession of His Father's Shop and Fights the Police. About midnight last night Roundsman "Wilson, of Allegheny, noticed paper cover- ing the windows of the store ot "William Moyle at OS Federal street. He concluded that something was wrong, and, with Lieu- tenant Shields, was about to investigate the matter, when Mr, Moyle himself drove up in a buggy. He told the officers that he had been notified that his son, "William Moyle, Jr., had taken possession of the place and wanted them to assist him to evict him. The front door was tried and found to be nailed fast on the in- side. Officer "Wilson climbed to the second story in the rear, where he broke open a windoiv at the head of the stairs. He then returned on the inside to the rear door, which he also found nailed and had to break open. Mr. Moyle and Lieutenant Shields then entered and burst open a door above the storeroom. Here they found one son with another man lying on a lonnge. Young Moyle at once attacked his father, but was promptly knocked down by Rounds- man "Wilson, and a severe fight took place between all the men. They were finally overpowered and taken to the Allegheny sta- tion, the companion of Moyle giving his name as Thompson. Every window and door in the building was barricaded with hoards, all of them being nailed or screwed down. They fonnd n pitch-for- k in the store- room which Mr. Moyle thinks his son had intended to assault him with, as it was not about the place on Saturday night Some time ago he had him arrested on a charge of embezzling $4,000 from him, but withdrew the charge on promise of the Bon to make reparation. The promise was broken, and the charge is now pending be- fore Alderman McMastm. MONDAY, JUNE 17,- - THE NAMES AT LAST. The Sixty-On- e Members of the South Fork Fishing Club.

The above communication was received late on Saturday night, and its anonymous nature precluded its use as an item without more tenable foundation than the imper- sonal word of an individual who had evi- dently taken every precaution to conceal his identity. It was accordingly held over and submitted yesterday to a well-know- n gentleman who figures as an active official of the club. ""Where and how did The DISPATCH get hold of this?" asked the official. The envelope, showing that the letter had passed through the Pittsburg postoffice as ordinary special delivery matter, was shown him. After a careful examination and count ot the names, the official said: "It is absolutely correct. I notice that the list is alphabetically arranged, also. Yes, the names of the 61 members are there, and you can say for me that the list is off- icially correct, although reaching The Dis- patch in such a singular manner." SEVENTH. ONCE MORE.

JOHN WHITE- HEAD At tho New Jerusalem Church, Isnbelln and Sandusky Streets, Allegheny, Pa., Sun- day, Jane IB, 1889. "Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you saying, This people draweth nigh to Me with their mouth, and honoreth Me with the lips, bat their heart is far from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doc- trines the commandments of men. And calling the multitude He said unto them, Hear and understand. Not that which th into the month defileth the man, but that which cometh out of the month, this defileth the man." Matthew xv. 1. The Lord here declares that it is not what a man eats and drinks which defiles him, but those evils which come forth from a de- praved will. In these days the doctrine of the evil na- ture of spirituous liquors has been persist- ently taught, and all the evils that defile men'have been ascribed to them as their origin; thus the doctrines of men are in di- rect opnositionto the Lord's teachings, that the evils do not arise from what man eats and drinks, but from the evil dispositions of men. And now the advocates of these views go to the extreme of endeavoring to compel men by civil law to act upon their convic- tions and ask that their doctrine, founded on a perversion of the "Word and a misun- derstanding of the true nature of reforma- tion and regeneration, be embodied in the Constitution of the civil State and all be compelled to live according to it whether they believe it to be true or not. The question is primarily a spiritual one, and to embody a sectarian doctrine in the law of the land is contrary to the spirit and letter of the Constitntion of our country, which guarantees every man a free exercise of his religion. It is assumed as a principle "by the Prohi- bitionists that wine in itself is an evil thing and is productive of nearly all the crime, evil and misery that exists, and to support their view they pervert the divine word and destroy its force and meaning, and also de- stroy the sacrament of the holy supper and profane it by a most ingenious but at the same time a most irrational theory; that wherever wine is mentioned in the Word in a favorable sense it means must or unfer-ment- wine, bnt wherever it is spoken of unfavorably it means fermented wine. An examiuation of the passages shows clearly that the ingeniousness of this theory is only equaled by its falsity. But the true idea is that the proper and 'moderate use of wine is a good and useful thing, and is a. blessing given by the Lord to man; for He giveth "wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart." Drunkenness is an evil thing, but it is by no means the worst evil that exists, neither is it the origin of all evils. If this were the case, the Lord in His Divine Word would have enumerated it as the first evil which the Decalogue prohibits, whereas it does not find a place in the Decaloeue.at all as a distinctly named evil. But yet, as being the abuse or misuse of one of God's gifts to man, it is in general included, for every evil is in general covered by these divine laws. But when men invent an evil out of their inward consciousness, and assert that it is the origin of all the evils that afflict man- kind, they make tbat the first of all, and if it is not so named by the Lord in the Deca- logue, they really do as did the Jews they make the word of God of none effect by their tradition. And the Lord again says that although such "draw nigh to Me with their mouth and honoreth me with lips, yet their heart is far from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the com- mandments of men. While there can be no objection to leav- ing everyone in freedom to abstain from using spirituous liquors if they desire so to act, just as everyone is free not td marry, or not to acquire property, or not to exercise any faculty given him by the Lord; yet if there is a blessing and a power for good in the use of them, as we verily believe that there is, by such abstention those who ab- stain deprive themselves of that good, and so fail to develop themselves to their full powers. Yet, while they ought to be left in freedom to so act if they will, and no man has a right to impose his conscience or ideas on them them to drink wine if they do not desire it; yet, on the other hand, neither have they any right to compel those who do not believe with them to abstain from the use of wines if they desire their use. It is no more right to prohibit the use of wines by compulsory statute than it would be to compel those to drink wine who do not desire it. It has been said by some that it is right to put the matter to a vote and let the major- ity decide it, and then all ought to acquiesce in the decision. Has the majority a right to decide all things for the minority? If so, has the majority the right to compel the mi- nority to drink wine? If not, then the ma- jority have no right to compel the minority to ab'staiu. The true safety of men as against the abuse of wine, as also against all other abuses, is not prohibition, but the proper use of the thing. In use there is safety, be- cause it is a good, and is therefore lrom God, and to obey Him by making a right use of His gilts brings salvation or safety against the evils of abuse. Hence the true safety against the evil of drunkenness is to teach tbat the right use of wine as a drink is good, but that its excessive use, t. e., its abnse, is an evil; and as all teaching to be of real avail should become embodied in the life, men ought to make a proper use of wine as a good and orderly thing, and shun as an evil and sin any and every tendency to its abuse. , Prohibition by civil statute does not go to the root of the evil of drunkenness; but it is an endeavor to reform by force, and not by a rational appeal to the understandings ot men. The idea is put forward that it the means of gratifying the appetite is removed, the evil will be also removed at the same time. But this is not the case, for so long as the depraved will exists, is one means of exercising its love of perversion is taken away, it will soon indulge its evil propensi- ties in another direction. By snch external methods the man himself, ns to his quality, his disposition, his heart or will is not changed in the least; and so long as the interior quality of the man is not changed he is not really improved. Snch external methods of reformation arc but like the damming no of streams with embankments of earth, which the greater they are the worse will be the flood and the destruction caused bv them in the end. And to prohibit the use of liquor by statute will give rise to contempt for the law, and the desire and practice of violating it, which will react on and tend to invalidate more and essential laws which should be i'ust inviolate.

SOLDIERS ON SMDAT The New Eule in Kegard to Military Inspection on Tbat Baj. A KICK FROM THE COLLEGES. Columbia and the National Are Angry at President Harrison. RUSSELL'S INFLUENCE WITH HIS PA. William Walter Phelps Is the Coming Man for the Mission to Berlin. President Harrison's order limiting the amount of Sunday work in the army is gen- erally popular. Generals Sherman and Sheridan are on record against any snch in- novation, however. William Walter Phelps is being prominently mentioned as the next Minister to Berlin. Russell Har- rison's influence with the administration is regarded as considerable. TZLEQEAH TO TITE DISFATCH.l Washington, June 16. It seems a little queer tbat President Harrison, in launching his long meditated order reduc- ing the routine work of Sunday in the army, should have thought it best to pre- face it with a citation from a similar or der of President Lincoln. Backed by so stalwart a defender of strict Sunday ob- servance as Secretary Redfield Proctor, to say nothing of Postmaster General John Wanamaker, the President might apparent- ly have found enough support in his own Cabinet for the changes he directs. But the key, both to the long delibera- tion and to the citing of precedents, is very likely to be fonnd in the intense con- servatism of army administration and the extreme jealousy and uneasiness with which military men regard any interference with the customs of service. "When, lor example, the question ofabolishing Sunday morning inspection was raised several years ago, General Sherman, then commanding the army, opposed it with an ardor almost inexplicable to the ordinary observer, par- ticularly as the proposed change could not possibly affect him individually. SHERMAN'S OPPOSITION. He likened the Sunday morning inspec- tion of the troops to the mother preparing her children for church, cited the practice of his own family in that respect and pleaded with great vigor against givinz up the old custom. General Sheridan was not less earnest and ardent for retaining the time-honor- rule and so it was with other officers. General Harrison and Secretary Proctor had served long enoueh in the Union army to understand this feeling of attachment "to old customs of service, and hence waited a long time before deciding to issue the current order and then forfeited it bv quoting these words of Lincoln, dated in November, 1862. President Lincoln, on his part, had quoted Washington's sentiments on the same subject; and accordingly President Harrison, in his order just issued, after sug- gesting that "the pressure to icnore the truth thus concisely stated is far less now than in the midst ot war," puts the change which he makes on the grounds stated by Washington and Lincoln. Bnt the truth is that there is now as good military authority and as earnest advocacy on the side of abol- ishing the Sunday morning inspection as on that of retaining it. SOLDIERS' EIGHTS. The Inspector General's department is particularly charged with looking after mat- ters concerning the efficiency and well-bein- g of the army and might be expected to be foremost in resisting any effort to set aside Sunday inspections, unless there are good reasons for doing so. But the head of this department. General Breckenridge, de- clares that the Sunday morning inspection is an infringement of the "rights of the American soldier." It is clear, therefore, that the attack upon the Sunday work has become as vigorous as the defense. The two highest officers now on the active list, General Scbofield, commanding the armv; and General Howard, commanding the division of the Atlantic, are strongly in favor of the new policy. The same ground has also been taken by many field and com- pany officers, and this, too, wholly apart from the disposition to escape extra labor themselves and to have a full day of leisure on Sunday. That this sentiment larcely prevails may further be judged from the fact that under the regulations which allow the evening dress parade to be omitted at the discretion ot a commanding officer, the custom has long been at many posts to interpret the Sunday parade as coming within tbisoption, and habitually no evening parade is held on that day. In some cases division or de- partment orders have expressly prohibited the holding of Sunday dress parade. The case of the morning inspection isa little different, but the difference is chiefly one of degree. THE INSPECTION RULE. Paragraph 950, of the new Army Begula-tion- s, directs that "Captains shall inspect their companies every Sunday morning. Cavalry and field artillery will usually be mounted when the weather will permit. No one will be excused from San-da- y instruction except the guard, the sick and the necessary attendants in hospitals." It is objected by some opponents of the new system that as a form of inspection is still required for Sunday morning, and as the full weekly inspection is to take place on Saturday, the soldier's work is really increased instead of lessened. But this is. not so. The new Sunday morning inspection will occupy but a few minutes and be little more than a roll call and standing at attention without arms. There is no burden in it for officers or men; but the old Sunday inspection occupied fully an hour, and included examinations not only of arms and equipments, bnt of the barracks, bunks, messing arrangements, food and so on. This is quite a different thing. Beside, as" the weekly inspection now occurs on Sat- urday with" all the old formality, it will practically nt most posts take the place of other duties, since, aa is well known, it re- quires a preparation of hours on the part of the troops in cleaning, mendin?, polishing and general furnishing up. Accordingly there will be an agiregate decrease in the week's duties and the full day of leisure now secured on Sundays will doubtless be popular alike with men and officers. PnELl'S FOR MINISTER. A Decided Probability Tbat Ho Will bo Scut to Berlin. - tErzCTAL TFXEaltAM TO TUE DISPATCH. 1 Washington, June 16. If it be not already decided that Mr. William Walter Phelps is to be Minister to Berlin, it looks as though the favorable mention of his name abroad would go far to get'bim the appointment. The foreigners have not the credit of the first mention of his name in that connection, however. Immediately after the rejection of Murat Halstead, a tel- egram to The Dispatch mentioned a probability that the post would be left va- cant till alter the conclusion of the Samoan conference, and that Mr. Phelps would then be appointed Minister. The information, or intimation, came frnnra high official of the State Depart- ment. It is probable, however, that the mention ot his name abroad is solely due to his snecess in the conference as the chief of the United States Commissioners, and partially to his sauvity and kindness to the numerous eminent correspondents concen- trated at Berlin, who seem to he behind the curtain othU little boom. , HABBISOK'S KICK. The Feeling Evoked by His Refmal to SIga the Diplomas of tho Colombia and National Universities Tho Other Colleges Batlsfled With the Situation. tSFXCTAT. TZLZORAU TO TITS DISFATCa.l Washington, June 16. The decision of President Harrison to discontinue the connection of his office as President of ths United States with the workings ot the Co- lumbia and National "Universities has been the subject of much remark the last few days in college circles in this city. Natur- ally the graduates and faculties of the insti- tutions affected were disappointed at the absence of his signature to the diplomas. They think that even if it was necessary to pot an end to the practice, General Har- rison might have said that he would com-p- ly with precedent at this time, bnt would serve notice that he would not do' it again. There would have been more gracious ness in such & course. The practice ot. signing and delivering diplomas was begun by General Grant, who yielded to the re- quest of Judge McArthur to thus give boon to the National university, then struggling for a standing. Judge Cox also; secured General Grant for the Columbia, commencement. Since then every Presi- dent has appeared on the platform to de- liver the diplomas at the commencement. Generally speakinjr, the President' course is commended, and especially by' members of colleges not so highly favored. They seem to think that the refusal of Gen- eral Harrison to continue the ceremony is characteristic of the man. His social instincts seem to approach in character those of Grant and Cleveland men who resented unnecessary and perfunctory pub- licity. He saw that there was no congruity in the situation, and thinks that the Presi- dent of the United States ought not to bo used as a sort of stalking horse to attract people to a commencement or to give ad- ventitious value to a diploma by signing it as chancellor of a college that he knows nothing about. RUSSELL'S INFLUENCE. He Is Said to Have Promised a Consulate to a Plttsbnrg Man. rsrZCIAL TXLXOBAM TO THE DISPATCrr.1 Washington, June 16. A story is go- ing the rounds which would seem to indi- cate that Mr. Bussell Harrison has some in- fluence with this administration, notwith- standing the Inn that is poked at him. It runs that a veteran with a splendid mili- tary record applied to Secretary Blaine for appointment to a certain Consulate. The Secretary made out his commission. When the commission was presented to the Presi- dent for signature he promptly appended his sign manual. While the commission was still in the President's hands, and Mr. Blaine was yet talking with him, Mr. Bns- - sell Harrison entered the library, and upon noting the place which had been disposed, of, said it never could be given to that per--' son, as he had promised it to a classmate, and his promise could not be recalled. , The President then drew a pen through his signature. It is said that the young gentleman in whom Mr. Bussell Harrison is interested is Mr. Wynne Sewell, of Pitts- burg. Italians Want n Cuurcb. The Italian citizens of Pittsburg and vicinity held a meeting in the basement of St. Paul's Cathedral last evening for the purpose of raising funds to build or buy a church. Joseph Cuneo, who acted as pre- siding officer, appointed a committee ot 20 to collect money for that purpose. Another meeting will be held next Sunday and a new committee appointed. About 52,509 has already been subscribed. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. ANTED-- A GOOD BAISBEK-APP- LY AT W: JOSEPH KRAMER'S, No. 33 Diamond lq Pittsburg, jei-- 3 Whatauomiort!

Alice Brownhill. an English lady, but who has lived in this country for nearly two years, bas for the past ten years been badly afflicted with asthma. It was produced by catarrhal poison in hor system that was slowly but surely doing its deadly work. A part of the secretion that formed in her head was dis- charged through her nose, and a part dropped down the back part of her throat, and which, settinp; up an irritated condition in herluncs,1 produced asthma. She couched, and her breath at times was very short. She had pains under her shoulder blades, and also over her eyes. Her appetite was very poor, and the little food she was able to eat pave her stomach much dis- tress and belching of cas, and every morning she would vomit up her food. As has been stated, her breath was very short, and every time she caught a cold she would have to be bolstered up in bed during the nisbt In order to breathe. When she applied, last April, to the physicians of tho Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute for treatment, the wheezing fn her lunzs could be beard all over the bouse.

AN INTERESTING SERIES.

Frospectsof the Ensicrn Clubs' Trip AnionsWestern Teams.

After y a new interest will spring up inbaseball matters. To-daj-'s contests will endthe present series of the West versus West andthe East versus East, and the Eastern teamswill start for the West. As we all know, theEastern fellows have not been west of themountains so far this season, and their fortunesduring their first trip will be watched with ex-ceeding interest by East and West alike.

Certainly there are already many conjecturesas to what the Eastern clubs will and will notdo when they come West. Predictions of avery conflicting kind have been numerous, somuch so that almost everybody interested inthe League struggle has an individual opinionon the matter. The most important opinion,and one that is held by many, is that the aspir-ing champions from Boston will, as they havedone previously, fall considerably to pieces. Theopinion is of primary interest just now to localpatrons of the game, because the Bostons' firstWestern appearance this season is here onWednesday. It may be that circumstances areall in favor of the Bostons starting out here;indeed, it would seem thatthey are not destinedto be troubled much at this city during theirfirst trip.

THEY ABE SLUGGERSof the first water when the very best of pitch-ing material is not facing them, and it is an un-fortunate fact that there is not that kind otmaterial here just now as far as is known. Ofcourse we don't know what may happen, but itis reasonable to expect that our array ofpitchers this week will not be aformidable one. With this very greatdeficiency the Bostons as they aro this yearwill more than counterbalance by batting allother short-coming- There is also anotherfact, viz.: That both of their star pitchers,Clarkson and Radbourne, were never in bettercondition than now. So far they have donewonderfully good work. But past recordsshow that Clarkson, when at bis best, was amark for Pittsburg. This, however, would bemore consoling if we had two or three pitchersalso in good form, but the probability seems tobe that if the local players are fortunate enouehto size Clarkson up, the Bostons will, at thesame time, be finding the measure of a localpltcser. However, Boston has no certaintywhatever of getting through the Western clubswithout having their percentage of victoriesconsiderably reduced.

The preponderance of opinion seems to bethat New York will rise very much nearer thetop before its Western series is ended. Kecfeand Welch are in excellent trim, and Crane isalso reported

IN FIBST-CLAS- S SHAPE.However, the present champions will not be

here until they have gone through the mill atthe other three Western cities. This is favor-able to Pittsburg, as the tatter's pitchers oughtto be then, if they are to be so thisseason.

The Phil adelphlas are the third aggregationthat rome here during the trip, and that also isfavorable to Pittsburg, because it will allowtime for injured and indisposed players of thelocal team to get into better shape. The Sena-tors follow the Bostons here, and the hometeam ought certainly to capture three of thefour games from them. It, therefore, seemsthat the greatest disadvantage of the first Eastversus West scries is Bostons' coming herefirst.

There are no decided facts to show that Phil-adelphia will hold its own among the Westernclubs this trip. The Phillies will be away fi orahome and they are not at present as strong asis cenerally supposed.

However, with fine weather, the 16 games onthe home grounds ought to be profitable andInteresting ones. It is one of the best parts ofthe season and may be the deciding point ofseveral of the clubs' prospects. After the gamehere betn een the New Yorks and the localteam, on July 6, the latter team will then goEast and visit all the four Eastern cities. Thisis another proof of the stupidity of the presentschedule. The home club has scarcely been athome this season yet, and a series of 16 gamesat home, after so much traveling, seems veryshort when it is known that the club must goon another long trip at the expiration ot thatrun.

Won by a Dark Horse After a Most Des-

perate Struggle.PARIS, June 16. The race of the Grand

Prix de Paris was rnn and was won bythe bay colt Vasistas by one length. Thechestnut colt Pourtant was second, fourlengths ahead of the bay colt Aerolitbe, third.There were 13 starters. The last betting wasSO to 1 against Vasistas, 30 to 1 against Pourt-an- t,

Maypole was very nervous and did not takepaitlnthe preliminary canters. After threefalse starts they all got away.Ventrebleu madethe running, going very rapidly, and led by tenlensrths to the hill top! Maypole, one of thefavorites, was then third and was making stren-uous efforts to maintain her position, but wassteadily falling back. Aerolithe and Fhlecetb-u- n

appeared to go to the front, but after a des-perate struggle Vasistas and Pourtant becamemasters of the situation. Kazan came in fourth,Minthe fifth and Maypole sixth.

New York, Jane 16. The Cincinnati clubhas signed anew pitcher. His name is Husted,and he belonged to the London, Ontario, Club.Just now he is in Gloucester, N.

As ho Is anunknown qnantity as jet, he will not be put inthe box against Byrne's men. He will be saved,and first tried against some less dangerous

The Kewarks had been determinedtin for the trial, ami Monday was the day set,but this afternoon's rain spoiled the plan, andMonday must be given to the Brooklyns in-

stead.If the Cincinnatis should get away ahead in

the game, there appears to be no good andsufficient reason whj the new man should notbe put in for a trial inning anyhow.

FOUK THOUSAND LOST

In the Johnstown Flood, Accordingto an Official Estimate

BASED OH RELIABLE DATA.

Figures rnxnished By Colonel Eogers ofthe Information Bureau

SHOW THE HUMBEB DEAD AND LIYING.

Twenty-Fir- e Thousand SnrrlTors Accounted For lathe En Boroughs.

Judge Advocate General Eogers, of theJohnstown Bureau of Information, nowestimates that not over 4,000 lives were lostin the flood. He bases his calculation onthe census returns and the reports whichhave been made to his office. He thinksthat the number given will certainly coverthe loss, and that it may be as low as 3,000.

Irnoit a staff cobresfosdknt.1Johnstown, June 16. How many souls

went down in the awful flood of May 31 isprobably a matter for historians to decide.Certain it is that the exact number who

lost their lives by the bursting of the SouthFork dam will not be known for months tocome, and perhaps never. For the present,however, official records will say that therewere between 3,000 and 4,000 personsdrowned. This is quite a laige differencebetween the estimates made a week ago,that the total number of lives lost would befrom 12,000 to 15,000.

The official report of Colonel and JudgeAdvocate General John Eogers, of Phila-delphia, who was at the head of the Bureauof Information, was made to Adjutant Gen-

eral Hastings The report wascompiled after a careful research, and theestimates are based upon figures furnishedby the census compiler of the town. The,report is, in substance, as follows:

NOT OVER 4,000 LOST.

"Mr. Charles B. Clark, of Altoona, pre-pared a directory two months before theflood, according to wMch there were 29,125people living in the district affected by thedisaster. Deducting from this the 25,000survivors that have been registered so far,it is fair to presume that 4,125 have beenlost. In order that the margin of calcula-tion may be narrowed as much as possible,I have arranged with Mr. Clark for theproof sheets of his directory and census re-

turns as a basis of comparison with theother lists now in our possession. Aftermarking off the names of the survivors asregistered and of the identified dead, the re-

mainder of his directory and census returnswill include the missing and the remainderui kiic uuiucuuucu ucau,

"I am of the opinion, after much consider-ation of the entire field of inquiry, and re-

membering the pronenessof almost everyoneto exaggeration in estimating populationsand crowds ofany kind, 3,000 is a fair esti-mate of the number lost. Certainly 4,000will, in my opinion, entirely cover it.

NO OErHANS FOE ADOPTION.Applications have been received from in-

dividuals offering homes to the fatherless ormotherless waifs, but so far there has beenbut oue orphan in the Conemaugh Valleyfound whose adoption by outside partiescould be legally consummated. This wasaccomplished by the Pittsburg Ladies Chil-dren's Aid Societv.

Johnstown, June 16. The demon of in-

sanity is already beginning to assert itselfamong the survivors of the flood here. Thisafternoon a man was seen on Main street,beginning to undress himself right in theopen thoroughfare, and his peculiar actionscreated considerable excitement among thepeople. The poor man was almost nude be-

fore anyone had become aware of what hewas doing. Then they tried to take hold ofhim and put him into safe quarters; but thepoor creature resisted and kicked, bit andshrieked like a maniac.

After considerable difficulty he was over--

Eowered and locked up. He will probablybe sent to Dixmont.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,

HANI STRANGE QUESTIONS.

Peculiar Queries of All Sorts Received attho Information Bureau.

rnOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Johnstown, June 16. The Bureau ofInformation, which is now in charge ofColonel John Q. Sogers, affords a splendidopportunity for a student of human nature.The bureau is daily in receipt of hundredsof letters from all parts of the country andfrom alljclasses of persons. The majority ofthem are of a pathetic nature, while some

are so nonsensical as to command nothingbut contempt. Some contain photographsof missing relatives, with heartrending ap-

peals for an immediate search. Others areof such a character as to stamp them at onceas business advertisements, while offersfrom childless and young married couplesare frequently received. One enterprisingyoung ladv, of Pittsburg, writes to this ef-

fect:Presuming that some of the merchants of

Johnstown are about to commence businessagain and will need assistance in their work Irespectfully submitthls as an application forposition as bookkeeper.

A man in Eookingham, N. C, writes fora full description ot the dam, includinglength, height, width of base, whetherper-pendicula- r,

and whether it was made ofstone, earth or wood. One communicationfrom a Philadelphia publishing houseto General Hastings coolly requests theofficial to forward the picture of the youngman who has been referred to ns the"Nameless Paul Eevere," and a resident ofMcConnellsburg, whose father was drowned,wants to know whether the company inwhich he is insured will make the payment- -

without presentation or policy- - e lettercontains the information that the policywas carried down the stream during theflood.

The department is not by any means inwant of suggestions as to how to carry onthe work ot resurrection, and many offershave been made by outside persons, com-

paratively unknown, to relieve GeneralHastings of the command at once. A Phil-adelphia housekeeper wanted General Has-ting to get her a country girl for generalhousework, and to see that she possessedgood recommendations. McSwigan.

FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Johnstown, June 16. The Bed CrossAssociation are about' to move their hospi-tals and consolidate them into one generalmedical department. The latter will be ina number of large tents in an old orchard onthe side of the hill, beyond the Seventhward school house. They have three hospi-tals at present. One of them is immediate-l-v

behind the camps of Contractorlaborers, and it was decided yes-

terday that this was unnecessary.The association has had considerable

trouble securing tents which were orderedto be given by the Quartermaster Generalat "Washington. It was proposed to erect awooden building for the hospital, and thiswill be done, provided the tents are notgiven them y.

At the association's hospital on Kernvillehill to-d- there were only two cases. Oneof them was measles, and the other erysipe-las. The trained nurses who have beenbrought here are from Bellevue Hospital,New York, and Florida, and are doing effe-

ctive-work. McSwigan.

TOOK THE ENTIRE STORE.

Tounir William Morlo Takes Possession ofHis Father's Shop and Fights the Police.About midnight last night Roundsman

"Wilson, of Allegheny, noticed paper cover-ing the windows of the store ot "WilliamMoyle at OS Federal street. He concludedthat something was wrong, and, with Lieu-tenant Shields, was about to investigate thematter, when Mr, Moyle himselfdrove up in a buggy. He told theofficers that he had been notifiedthat his son, "William Moyle, Jr., had takenpossession of the place and wanted them toassist him to evict him. The front door wastried and found to be nailed fast on the in-

side. Officer "Wilson climbed to the secondstory in the rear, where he broke open awindoiv at the head of the stairs. He thenreturned on the inside to the rear door,which he also found nailed and had tobreak open. Mr. Moyle and LieutenantShields then entered and burst open a doorabove the storeroom. Here they found oneson with another man lying on a lonnge.Young Moyle at once attacked his father,but was promptly knocked down by Rounds-man "Wilson, and a severe fight took placebetween all the men. They were finallyoverpowered and taken to the Allegheny sta-tion, the companion of Moyle giving hisname as Thompson. Every window anddoor in the building was barricaded withhoards, all of them being nailed or screweddown. They fonnd n pitch-for- k in the store-room which Mr. Moyle thinks his son hadintended to assault him with, as it was notabout the place on Saturday night

Some time ago he had him arrested on acharge of embezzling $4,000 from him, butwithdrew the charge on promise of the Bonto make reparation. The promise wasbroken, and the charge is now pending be-fore Alderman McMastm.

""Where and how did The DISPATCH gethold of this?" asked the official.

The envelope, showing that the letter hadpassed through the Pittsburg postoffice asordinary special delivery matter, was shownhim. After a careful examination andcount ot the names, the official said:

"It is absolutely correct. I notice thatthe list is alphabetically arranged, also.Yes, the names of the 61 members are there,and you can say for me that the list is off-icially correct, although reaching The Dis-patch in such a singular manner."

PREACHED BY REV. JOHN WHITE-HEAD

At tho New Jerusalem Church, Isnbelln andSandusky Streets, Allegheny, Pa., Sun-day, Jane IB, 1889.

"Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesyof you saying, This people draweth nigh toMe with their mouth, and honoreth Me withthe lips, bat their heart is far from Me. Butin vain do they worship Me, teaching for doc-trines the commandments of men. Andcalling the multitude He said unto them,Hear and understand. Not that which th

into the month defileth the man, butthat which cometh out of the month, thisdefileth the man." Matthew xv. 1.

The Lord here declares that it is not whata man eats and drinks which defiles him, butthose evils which come forth from a de-

praved will.In these days the doctrine of the evil na-

ture of spirituous liquors has been persist-ently taught, and all the evils that defilemen'have been ascribed to them as theirorigin; thus the doctrines of men are in di-

rect opnositionto the Lord's teachings, thatthe evils do not arise from what man eatsand drinks, but from the evil dispositions ofmen. And now the advocates of these viewsgo to the extreme of endeavoring to compelmen by civil law to act upon their convic-tions and ask that their doctrine, foundedon a perversion of the "Word and a misun-derstanding of the true nature of reforma-tion and regeneration, be embodied in theConstitution of the civil State and all becompelled to live according to it whetherthey believe it to be true or not.

The question is primarily a spiritual one,and to embody a sectarian doctrine in thelaw of the land is contrary to the spirit andletter of the Constitntion of our country,which guarantees every man a free exerciseof his religion.

It is assumed as a principle "by the Prohi-bitionists that wine in itself is an evil thingand is productive of nearly all the crime,evil and misery that exists, and to supporttheir view they pervert the divine word anddestroy its force and meaning, and also de-

stroy the sacrament of the holy supper andprofane it by a most ingenious but at thesame time a most irrational theory; thatwherever wine is mentioned in the Word ina favorable sense it means must or unfer-ment-

wine, bnt wherever it is spoken ofunfavorably it means fermented wine. Anexamiuation of the passages shows clearlythat the ingeniousness of this theory is onlyequaled by its falsity. But the true idea isthat the proper and 'moderate use of wine isa good and useful thing, and is a.blessinggiven by the Lord to man; for He giveth"wine that maketh glad the heart of man,and oil to make his face to shine, and breadwhich strengtheneth man's heart."

Drunkenness is an evil thing, but it is byno means the worst evil that exists, neitheris it the origin of all evils. If this were thecase, the Lord in His Divine Word wouldhave enumerated it as the first evil whichthe Decalogue prohibits, whereas it does notfind a place in the Decaloeue.at all as adistinctly named evil. But yet, as beingthe abuse or misuse of one of God's gifts toman, it is in general included, for everyevil is in general covered by these divinelaws.

But when men invent an evil out of theirinward consciousness, and assert that it isthe origin of all the evils that afflict man-kind, they make tbat the first of all, and ifit is not so named by the Lord in the Deca-logue, they really do as did the Jews theymake the word of God of none effect by theirtradition. And the Lord again says thatalthough such "draw nigh to Me with theirmouth and honoreth me with lips, yet theirheart is far from Me. But in vain do theyworship Me, teaching for doctrines the com-mandments of men.

While there can be no objection to leav-ing everyone in freedom to abstain fromusing spirituous liquors if they desire so toact, just as everyone is free not td marry, ornot to acquire property, or not to exerciseany faculty given him by the Lord; yet ifthere is a blessing and a power for good inthe use of them, as we verily believe thatthere is, by such abstention those who ab-

stain deprive themselves of that good, andso fail to develop themselves to their fullpowers. Yet, while they ought to be left infreedom to so act if they will, and no manhas a right to impose his conscience or ideason them them to drink wine if theydo not desire it; yet, on the other hand,neither have they any right to compel thosewho do not believe with them to abstainfrom the use of wines if they desire theiruse. It is no more right to prohibit the useof wines by compulsory statute than itwould be to compel those to drink wine whodo not desire it.

It has been said by some that it is right toput the matter to a vote and let the major-ity decide it, and then all ought to acquiescein the decision. Has the majority a right todecide all things for the minority? If so,has the majority the right to compel the mi-nority to drink wine? If not, then the ma-jority have no right to compel the minorityto ab'staiu.

The true safety of men as against theabuse of wine, as also against all otherabuses, is not prohibition, but the properuse of the thing. In use there is safety, be-

cause it is a good, and is therefore lromGod, and to obey Him by making a rightuse of His gilts brings salvation or safetyagainst the evils of abuse. Hence the truesafety against the evil of drunkenness is toteach tbat the right use of wine as a drink isgood, but that its excessive use, t. e., itsabnse, is an evil; and as all teaching to beof real avail should become embodied in thelife, men ought to make a proper use of wineas a good and orderly thing, and shun as anevil and sin any and every tendency to itsabuse. ,

Prohibition by civil statute does not go tothe root of the evil of drunkenness; but it isan endeavor to reform by force, and not bya rational appeal to the understandings otmen. The idea is put forward that it themeans of gratifying the appetite is removed,the evil will be also removed at the sametime. But this is not the case, for so longas the depraved will exists, is one means ofexercising its love of perversion is takenaway, it will soon indulge its evil propensi-ties in another direction. By snch externalmethods the man himself, ns to his quality,his disposition, his heart or will is notchanged in the least; and so long as theinterior quality of the man is not changedhe is not really improved.

Snch external methods of reformation arcbut like the damming no of streams withembankments of earth, which the greaterthey are the worse will be the flood and thedestruction caused bv them in the end.And to prohibit the use of liquor by statutewill give rise to contempt for the law, andthe desire and practice of violating it, whichwill react on and tend to invalidate more

and essential laws which should bei'ust inviolate.

SOLDIERS ON SMDAT

The New Eule in Kegard to MilitaryInspection on Tbat Baj.

A KICK FROM THE COLLEGES.

Columbia and the National Are Angry atPresident Harrison.

RUSSELL'S INFLUENCE WITH HIS PA.

William Walter Phelps Is the Coming Man for theMission to Berlin.

President Harrison's order limiting theamount of Sunday work in the army is gen-

erally popular. Generals Sherman andSheridan are on record against any snch in-

novation, however. William WalterPhelps is being prominently mentioned asthe next Minister to Berlin. Russell Har-

rison's influence with the administration isregarded as considerable.

TZLEQEAH TO TITE DISFATCH.l

Washington, June 16. It seems alittle queer tbat President Harrison, inlaunching his long meditated order reduc-ing the routine work of Sunday in thearmy, should have thought it best to pre-face it with a citation from a similar order of President Lincoln. Backed by sostalwart a defender of strict Sunday ob-

servance as Secretary Redfield Proctor, tosay nothing of Postmaster General JohnWanamaker, the President might apparent-ly have found enough support in his ownCabinet for the changes he directs.

But the key, both to the long delibera-tion and to the citing of precedents, is verylikely to be fonnd in the intense con-

servatism of army administration and theextreme jealousy and uneasiness withwhich military men regard any interferencewith the customs of service. "When, lorexample, the question ofabolishing Sundaymorning inspection was raised several yearsago, General Sherman, then commandingthe army, opposed it with an ardor almostinexplicable to the ordinary observer, par-ticularly as the proposed change could notpossibly affect him individually.

SHERMAN'S OPPOSITION.

He likened the Sunday morning inspec-tion of the troops to the mother preparingher children for church, cited the practiceof his own family in that respect andpleaded with great vigor against givinz upthe old custom. General Sheridan was notless earnest and ardent for retaining thetime-honor- rule and so it was with otherofficers. General Harrison and SecretaryProctor had served long enoueh in theUnion army to understand this feeling ofattachment "to old customs of service, andhence waited a long time before deciding toissue the current order and then forfeited itbv quoting these words of Lincoln, dated inNovember, 1862.

President Lincoln, on his part, hadquoted Washington's sentiments on thesame subject; and accordingly PresidentHarrison, in his order just issued, after sug-gesting that "the pressure to icnore thetruth thus concisely stated is far less nowthan in the midst ot war," puts the changewhich he makes on the grounds stated byWashington and Lincoln. Bnt the truth isthat there is now as good military authorityand as earnest advocacy on the side of abol-ishing the Sunday morning inspection as onthat of retaining it.

SOLDIERS' EIGHTS.The Inspector General's department is

particularly charged with looking after mat-ters concerning the efficiency and well-bein- g

of the army and might be expected to beforemost in resisting any effort to set asideSunday inspections, unless there are goodreasons for doing so. But the head of thisdepartment. General Breckenridge, de-

clares that the Sunday morning inspectionis an infringement of the "rights of theAmerican soldier." It is clear, therefore,that the attack upon the Sunday work hasbecome as vigorous as the defense.

The two highest officers now on the activelist, General Scbofield, commanding thearmv; and General Howard, commandingthe division of the Atlantic, are strongly infavor of the new policy. The same groundhas also been taken by many field and com-pany officers, and this, too, wholly apartfrom the disposition to escape extra laborthemselves and to have a full day of leisureon Sunday.

That this sentiment larcely prevails mayfurther be judged from the fact that underthe regulations which allow the eveningdress parade to be omitted at the discretionot a commanding officer, the custom haslong been at many posts to interpret theSunday parade as coming within tbisoption,and habitually no evening parade is heldon that day. In some cases division or de-partment orders have expressly prohibitedthe holding of Sunday dress parade. The caseof the morning inspection isa little different,but the difference is chiefly one of degree.

THE INSPECTION RULE.

Paragraph 950, of the new Army Begula-tion- s,

directs that "Captains shallinspect their companies every Sundaymorning. Cavalry and field artillery willusually be mounted when the weather willpermit. No one will be excused from San-da- y

instruction except the guard, the sickand the necessary attendants in hospitals."

It is objected by some opponents of thenew system that as a form of inspection isstill required for Sunday morning, and asthe full weekly inspection is to take placeon Saturday, the soldier's work isreally increased instead of lessened.But this is. not so. The new Sundaymorning inspection will occupy but a fewminutes and be little more than a roll calland standing at attention without arms.There is no burden in it for officers or men;but the old Sunday inspection occupiedfully an hour, and included examinationsnot only of arms and equipments, bnt of thebarracks, bunks, messing arrangements,food and so on.

This is quite a different thing. Beside,as" the weekly inspection now occurs on Sat-urday with" all the old formality, it willpractically nt most posts take the place ofother duties, since, aa is well known, it re-

quires a preparation of hours on the part ofthe troops in cleaning, mendin?, polishingand general furnishing up. Accordinglythere will be an agiregate decrease in theweek's duties and the full day of leisurenow secured on Sundays will doubtless bepopular alike with men and officers.

PnELl'S FOR MINISTER.

A Decided Probability Tbat Ho Will boScut to Berlin. -

tErzCTAL TFXEaltAM TO TUE DISPATCH. 1

Washington, June 16. If it be notalready decided that Mr. William WalterPhelps is to be Minister to Berlin, it looksas though the favorable mention of hisname abroad would go far to get'bim theappointment. The foreigners have not thecredit of the first mention of his name inthat connection, however. Immediatelyafter the rejection of Murat Halstead, a tel-

egram to The Dispatch mentioned aprobability that the post would be left va-cant till alter the conclusion of the Samoanconference, and that Mr. Phelps would thenbe appointed Minister.

The information, or intimation, camefrnnra high official of the State Depart-ment. It is probable, however, that themention ot his name abroad is solely due tohis snecess in the conference as the chiefof the United States Commissioners, andpartially to his sauvity and kindness to thenumerous eminent correspondents concen-trated at Berlin, who seem to he behind thecurtain othU little boom. ,

HABBISOK'S KICK.

With the Situation.tSFXCTAT. TZLZORAU TO TITS DISFATCa.l

Washington, June 16. The decisionof President Harrison to discontinue theconnection of his office as President of thsUnited States with the workings ot the Co-

lumbia and National "Universities has beenthe subject of much remark the last fewdays in college circles in this city. Natur-ally the graduates and faculties of the insti-

tutions affected were disappointed at theabsence of his signature to the diplomas.

They think that even if it was necessaryto pot an end to the practice, General Har-rison might have said that he would com-p- ly

with precedent at this time, bnt wouldserve notice that he would not do' it again.There would have been more graciousness in such & course. The practice ot.signing and delivering diplomas was begunby General Grant, who yielded to the re-quest of Judge McArthur to thus giveboon to the National university, thenstruggling for a standing. Judge Cox also;secured General Grant for the Columbia,commencement. Since then every Presi-dent has appeared on the platform to de-liver the diplomas at the commencement.

Generally speakinjr, the President'course is commended, and especially by'members of colleges not so highly favored.They seem to think that the refusal of Gen-eral Harrison to continue the ceremony ischaracteristic of the man. His socialinstincts seem to approach in characterthose of Grant and Cleveland men whoresented unnecessary and perfunctory pub-licity. He saw that there was no congruityin the situation, and thinks that the Presi-dent of the United States ought not to boused as a sort of stalking horse to attractpeople to a commencement or to give ad-

ventitious value to a diploma by signing itas chancellor of a college that he knowsnothing about.

He Is Said to Have Promised a Consulateto a Plttsbnrg Man.

rsrZCIAL TXLXOBAM TO THE DISPATCrr.1

Washington, June 16. A story is go-

ing the rounds which would seem to indi-cate that Mr. Bussell Harrison has some in-

fluence with this administration, notwith-standing the Inn that is poked at him. Itruns that a veteran with a splendid mili-tary record applied to Secretary Blaine forappointment to a certain Consulate. TheSecretary made out his commission. Whenthe commission was presented to the Presi-dent for signature he promptly appendedhis sign manual. While the commissionwas still in the President's hands, and Mr.Blaine was yet talking with him, Mr. Bns- -sell Harrison entered the library, and uponnoting the place which had been disposed,of, said it never could be given to that per--'son, as he had promised it to a classmate,and his promise could not be recalled. ,

The President then drew a pen throughhis signature. It is said that the younggentleman in whom Mr. Bussell Harrisonis interested is Mr. Wynne Sewell, of Pitts-burg.

Italians Want n Cuurcb.The Italian citizens of Pittsburg and

vicinity held a meeting in the basement ofSt. Paul's Cathedral last evening for thepurpose of raising funds to build or buy achurch. Joseph Cuneo, who acted as pre-siding officer, appointed a committee ot 20to collect money for that purpose. Anothermeeting will be held next Sunday and anew committee appointed. About 52,509has already been subscribed.
