Now York, Nov. 111. Two lloreu on
slaughts on the church of Homo on
livened the proceedings at to-day's
session of the general missionary com
mittee. On eaeli occasion an audience
which filled every part til" the Iui-kc
iiudltorlum in St. Paul's M. K. church,
"where the committee Is mcetlnc;, broke
into applause, and no effort was made
by the chair to check the demonstra
tion of approval.
The general committee, which is
composed of all the bishops and lead
ins divines In the Methodist church
of America, has been In session dally
tdnce last AVednesdny. Upon several
occasions during former sessions when
reference has been made to anything
pertaining1 to the 1 toman Catholic
church, the same spirit of d 'fiance
3ias been apparent, I'pun no former
occasion has that church been de
nounced in terms uiuitmlitlcd, nor has
ihe approval of the audience b:'en
given vent in so vigorous applause.
The first person to advance to the
attack was Bishop Goodsell, of Ten
nessee. In the course of an address on
the work of the Methodist Kpiseopal
church In various parts of Europe he
bad occasion to speak of the wont
done in Italy and conditions obtaining
there. It was in the recital of the
latter the bishop used such strong lan
lluallc against the church of Koine.
The bishop said:
In northern Ihuopc, fur instance, in i.'umany

Tho next speaker threw down the

of yeurs has been identllled with tlu
work of tho M. K. church in South
America, and was appointed by the
committee to take over the super
vision of the work among the Spn;ilsh
speaking nations on this continent.
Besides Bishop Goodsell, lie Is the
only member of the committee who in
the course of his labors has come In

In beginning his address, Dr. Drees
made reference to tho end of Spanish

GERMANY NOT

The Imperial Glinnccllor Denies

AN OFFICIAL MANIFESTO
Count von Bulow Tells tho Reich
stag That the Anti-Foreign Out

Interrupt Him and Sny That It
Was Chinese Question Debated
in French Parliament -Universal
War Predicted by One Deputy.
Hy Hxcliislve Wire from The Aw.ooi.ilcd i'less.
Itcrlln, Nov. 19. In the Keichstag to
day, on the occasion of presentation of
suplemcntary credit for China, Count
von Hulow, the Imperial chancellor,
emphatically denied the assertion fre
quently made abroad that the China
imbroglio was traceable to the German
occupation of Kiao-Cliou. That state
ment was greeted by the Social Demo
crats with loud cries of "It is auite
true!"
The chancellor expressed keen regret
that such a cry was heard in the Ger
man parliament, lie said he ellel not
wish ut present to utter anything
which might be prejudicial to the com
mon object of the powers in China, but
he felt the need of placing himself in
touch with the nation. Germany, he
explained, bad adhered to the alms and
pulley otllined In the circular to the
allied governments. The allegation that
the government had not foreseen the
Chinese crisis was true, but most of the
other nations likewise failed to antici
pate that the storm In the far east
would burst so violently or so soon.
"But," added the count, "the pre
monitory signs did not escape us. We
directed the attention of the other
cabinets repeatedly to them. "We at
once agreed to everything our repre
sentative in China described as neces
sary as measures of precaution, and
dispatched a force, offering even more
men than were asked for. I wish to
reproach no one, least of all liaron von
Ketteler, who In endeavoring most
earnestly, in the fullllment of his duty,
to bring tho chief Chinese authorities
to reason, went, almost without fear, to
his death, worthy of the land he rep
resented and the name he bore."
That statement caused loud applause.

session of the chamber of ilcpiities to

They could not depend on tin Indem
nity to cover the expense, for It would
bo necessary to continue t!i" exp-.-ll-tion

speaker also expressed fear that tho
exaction of an Indemnity would re
sult in the dismemberment of China,
resulting In a universal war, Thus,
he pointed out, "China lays sit trap
for Europe to fall into."
.M. Marcel Kembut, Kadical Social
ist, representing one of the Seoine dis
tricts, demanded to know by what
right tho government had engag'd in
war without the consent of parllamonc
and eiuestloned the government as to

MR, WASHBURN'S APPEAL
Nobrasknn Will Never Again Be
Candidate of the Democratic Party.
Control of That Reverts to Gor
man, Hill and Croker But He
Might Lead a New Organization to
Victoiy.
By Hxeliuho Whe from The Associated Picm.
Boston, Nov. 19. George F. Wash
burn, president of tho Bryan club of
Massachusetts and treasurer of the
national committee of tho People's!
party, has appealed to the "reform
forces of the country" for the prompt
organization of a new party, uniting
Bryan Democrats, silver Republicans,
Populists and other smaller bodies,
and to be "led by the man of the
hour, whoever be may be," Jlr. Wash
burn says:
"It Is beyond range of human prob
ability that Bryan will again become
candidate of the Democratic party. In
deed, It is admitted by leaders of tho
new Democracy that he was defeated
by Democrats to get rid of him.
"He will not surrender to this ele
ment, even to be president, lie will not
lopndlate his recorel. Ho will not dis
appoint his friends. But he can lead
to victory a new party, conducted on
safe und conservative yet progressive
lines.' Therefore, to hold what wo
have and maintain our present mo
mentum a nuw party must be formed.
It is the quickest road to ultimate suc
ce;v. "The last two national campaigns
have taught us important lessons. We
cannot longer put new wine into old
bottles; we cannot entrust new Ideas
to old leaders. The control of the Dem
ocratic party will now revert to Gor
man, Hill and Croker and the old ma
chine regime they represent. This will
create a cleavage between the reac
tionists, with old Ideas, and the re
formers, with new Ideas. To succeed
our work must be on a high political
plane absolutely clean and far abovu
tho iniro of machine methods.
"Accordingly, I propose that at nit
early date we have a conference of the
leaders of the parties referred to, in
the central part of the country, for t
purpose of offering an immediate
union, that wc may begin at once tho
organisation of the now party. These
forces should promptly come together.
We must unite or disintegrate. The
sooner this Initial step is taken the
better, so that the great new move
ment may begin with the dawning of
the nsw century."
