MONDAY OCTOBER 1 1894.
BARBARISM VS. CIVILIZATION.
THE WAR BETWEEN CHINA AND
JAPAN.
Must Serve God and the Bible or
They Will Perish.
New York October I.—The
Rev. Dr. McArthur preached last
night at the Calvary church 57th
street near 6th avenue taking for
his subject “The Corean war in re-
lation to civilization and Chris-
tianity.”
“The war now raging" said the
Doctor “between China and Jap-
an is one of profound interest to
all intelligent statesmen and
churchmen. The war is really be-
tween barbarism and civilization
between hoary conservatism and
modern progress between Heath-
enism and Christianity. The Euro-
pean world has had no adequaie
•conception of the greatness of the
actual progress of these oriental
nations. These nations are now
arousing themselves from the
slumber of centuries; they are
putting on their armor; they are
girding themselves for a place on
the great chess board of the world.
The battle at the mouth of the
Yalu river startled Great Britain
France Germany Russia Italy
America and the world. It will
create new discussions as to naval
armaments. The United States is
humbled in the presence of
these Japanese victories: probably
we could not have placed in eastern
waters during the time since this
war began a naval force at all ad-
equate to contend with that of
Japan. This victory will greatly
help Secretary Herbert in his plans
for the building of naval ships for
the United States government.
This victory has startled the confi-
dential advisers of every throne in
Europe. Japan has stepped at once
into line with the foremost nations
of the world. She has struggled
long against the conservative ele-
ment within her own borders but
the progressive element has tri-
umphed. She has decided to adopt
the result of the highest civiliza-
tion of the world and she has shown
herself in the wise administration
of her international affairs to be
worthy of a place beside the most
progressive nations of the world.
Her educational system asks no
apology when compared with that
of Europe and America. The na-
tion that will not serve God the
bible teaches us. must perish. We
may add in harmony with this
truth as its natural consequence
that the nation that will not obey
the highest laws of civilization of
this day must perish.”
Grover Will Umpire.
Washington Oct. I.—Notice
been received by the State De-
partment from Mr. Sleeper the
United States secretary of lega-
tion and consul general at Car-
thagenia that the Colombian and
Italian governments haye agreed
to submit to the arbitration of the
president of the United States the
claim for reparation and indemnity
of the Italian subject Cerruti.
This man was arrested in Colom-
bia on what the Italian government
insists was a baseless and unwar-
ranted charge and was imprisoned
for a long time. Italy finally se-
cured his release and followed this
up with a demand for indemnity
which was refused by Colombia.
For a time the negotiations had an
ugly look but as noted both par-
ties have consented to submit the
case to an impartial umpire and
President Cleveland will undoubt-
edly accept the task of arbitrating
the difference.

Chicago Oct. I.—Ben Pricewho
has been connected with the < ook
county jail as clerk for more than
14 years is it is said between $3-
000000 and $5000000 richer today
than he was a week ago. This is
the amount of property left him by
his father whose death occurred
recently. It is scattered over Amer-
ica England and Australia and
until a solicitor can get a complete
inventory of the property its exact
value will not be known. Part of
the property is in Melbourne Aus-
tralia and came from Hiram Price
grandfather to Ben Price. The es-
tate owns it is said nearly all of
the suburbs of Hackensack N. J.
known as Maywood. On it is an
old colonial mansion occupied by
the Price family years ago and val-
ued at $50000. Adjoining it is the
large property of the William
Walter Phelps estate. Mr. Phelps
is a cousin of Ben Price.
The Regenerated South.
Brooklyn Oct. I.—The opening
meeting of the famous Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences will
be held this evening when 8. D.
McCormack of Kentucky will de-
liver an address on “The Charity
of an Epoch or the Union of the
Blue and the Gray.” Mr. McCor-
mack was an officer in the Con-
federate Army and has represent-
ed one of the Kentucky districts in
Congress. He is said to be a
speaker of unusual attractiveness.
It is the expectation that another
confederate general and one or two
prominent officers on the Union
side will make brief addresses on
this occasion which will show the
Confederate side at its best and at
the same time prove that the re-
sults of the war are fully accepted
in the south.
CATHOLIC CHANGES.
Mgr. Satolll will be Recalled.
New York Oct. I.—A special to
the World says: A high ecclesi-
astic dignitary was seen today by
a correspondent with regard to the
expected changes in the adminis-
tration of the Catholic church of
the I’nited States. He said: “It
is quite true the Pope is preparing
a document concerning the United
States. This document will deal
with the general position of the
church of the United States. It
may also discuss the Washington
delegation. Instead of passing
through an intermediary of the
prefect of the propaganda. Mgr.
Satolli would refer matters to the
Pope direct. The question is one of
form rather than substance and
especially as the Pope authorized
Mgr. Satolli to judge a large num-
ber of cases which formerly would
have to be submitted to the propo-
ganda. As to assuming as Mgr.
Kean says that the Pope will
transfer the administration of the
American church to Washington
the idea is absurd. The situation
may be summed up in these terms:
The Pope wishes to maintain and
strengthen the delegation. But
Mgr. Satolli will most certainly be
recalled.
The L. A. W. Contest.
New York Oct. I.—The election
of officers of the New York state
division of the League of American
"’heelmen will be held early this
month. The fact that Chief Con-
sul Luscomb has refused to run for
the office but is supporting the
independent ticket has added ad-
ditional excitement to the elec-
tion. While the league men in
this state all recognize the Potter-
Underhill-Bull ticket as the reg-
ular nominees the opposition par-
ty claim that the Lauke-Honor-
Pennell ticket which is indorsed
by present Chief Consul Luscomb
are the regular nominations. The
contest is now assuming a lively
aspect.
A Fencers’ League.
New York Oct. L—The Ama-
teur Fencers’ League of America is
to meet here today.
The league contains besides the
New York division which at pres-
ent is the largest a New England
division already of good propor-
tions with Mr. A. H. Howard of
the Iloston Fencing club at its
head; a Philadelphia division
with Mr. Arnold of the Fencing
and Sparring club in charge: a
Nebraska division led by Mr.
George W. Ames of Omaha; a
Utah division headed by Mr. J. B.
McConville of Salt Lake City and
a Canadian division with Mr. N.
J. Giroux of the Ottawa Amateur
Athletic club at its head. Clubs
for fencing alone and clubs making
fencing a prominent sport are be-
ing founded in a number of cities.
Buffalo Providence Ottawa and
Worcester are about to establish
such organizations; Montreal
Washington and New Orleans will
be heard from this winter.
NOT AFRAID TO DIE.
Tells the Judge He is Going
Straight to Heaven!
Brampton Oct. I.—McWherrell
is under sentence to hang today
for the murder of an aged couple in
December 1893. Mr. and Mrs.
James Williams a highly respect-
ed old couple living on the Middle
Roadabout a mile and a half north
of Port Credit Ont. were found
murdered in their house December
17. The murder was supposed to
have been committed Friday pre-
vious by the hired man who dis-
appeared taking a horse and cut-
ter belonging to the \\ illiamses.
The bodies were discovered by the
neighbors whose suspicions had
been excited by the absence of any
signs of life about the Williams
place. The old man was found
sitting in a chair with a coat
thrown over his head which had
been crushed in by repeated blows.
Mrs. Williams had been struck
down at the door and her body
dragged into the house. It would
seem that she had been attempt-
ing to escape when overtaken by
the murderer.
McWherrell and Walker were
placed on trial and the former
was sentenced to hang for the
crime while Walker was acquitted.
McWherrell spoke for two hours
after he had been sentenced and
concluded with the words:
“All right your lordship. I’ll
have a better chance to get to
heaven than some of you for I’m”
The prisoner was promptly sup-
pressed at this point. Some woman
commenced crying and he shouted
out: “Don’t cry. I’m not afraid to
die I’m no coward.” He was first
sentenced to die June 1. Later the
execution was postponed to Oct. 1.
