Washington, June 11. —Before the house committee on agriculture, which Is considering the meat inspection i?ill, Representative Davis (Minn.) rend a telegram from the South St. I'aul Live Stock Exchange arid live stock hoard voicing unalterable opposition to having the expense placed on the packers, because it would Inevitably come out of the stock raisers. Mr. Wilson, representing the packers, corroborated this conclusion. The section of Duryea borough along the back road that has been damaged by numerous and costly caves for monthfl past, had Its most extensive settling of earth Saturday evening at 7 o'clock, when a section 77x62 feet droppoA, the depth varying from 25 to 40 feet;' The cave occurred near the store of Edsall & Clauson and extended into the yard of the residence of Mr. Edsall, elose to the store. The road was affected Its entile width and the cave was many feet on both sides. The settling broke a 20-Inch main of the Spring Brook Water Supply Co. and a G-lnch pipe of the same company. Just as the ground dropped there was a rush of water which continued unabated until the hole had been converted into a miniature pond and the water overflowed It and ran down the road. A force from the water supply company was hurriedly called and the water turned off. It was found that four lengths of pipe of the larger main had been broken by the cave and that the smaller pipe had suffered almost similarly.The settling of ground in Cork  beyond the Lehigh Valley cutoff trucks, the plot which Is being undermined by the Hillside Co. and which the company officials have declared unsafe, has started to affect buildings located within the prescribed area. night, the property of Miss Margaret Bryden, on Norman street, sank fully three feet together with a considerable piece of the yard In which the building Is located. The house remained intact, but the fall had the effect of rendering useless windows and doors. A small kitchen that was attached to the main body of the house was pulled away from It and now stands separate. The entire section beyond the cutoff tracks will cave sooner or later. All the surface belongs to the Hillside Co., the houses being on leased ground, and it Is taking coal from a vein that in places Is only 1 rD feet below the surface. WORLD IS NAUSEATED POTTER PESSIMISTIC. MAY DINE WITH KING. REPORT PRESENTED. Bishop Says Britishers Despise Yankees. Thoroughly Enjoyed Their Ocean Voyage. , Smoot Not Entitled to Seat Calls Corporation the Poor in Senate. Man's Friend. fcl 1 Syracuse, N. Y.. June 11 .—Chancellor Day In his annual baccalaureate sermon at Syracuse university reaffirmed his attitude toward large corporations, saying they were the logical result of the great stride that the world Is making. He again Issued a warning against the assumption of too much power by the president and in referring to the reports of conditions in Packlngtown slaughter houses s!*ld that If one-hundredth part of what was printed was true people would be dying by tens of thousands. The sermon in part was: New York, June 11.—No love Is lost between Great Britain and the United States, said Bishop Henry C. Potter, who returned on the White Star liner Celtic arter a tour of Europe and Africa. His statement as to the feelings of Englishmen toward Americans was regarded as significant in view of tbo fact that he was one of the guests of honor at the dinner given to former Ambassador Choate upon his return from England. London, June 11.—After a voyage which both declared to be the most pleasant In their experience, Mr. und Mrs. Nicholas Longwortli reached London, having Journeyed from Southampton, where they debarked from the American line steamship St. Louis, in a beautifully appointed royal railway car. The weather was Ideal, and the country traversed by the train on tho short trip to London was looking its best, so that their tirst impression of England, where they will spend the opening fortnight of their European outing, was most favorable. Washington, June 11.—"In the judgment of the committee, Mr. Smoot is no more entitled to a seal in the Senate than he would be if he were associating in polygamous co-habitation witli a plurality of wives." H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex., attorney lor the Texas Cattle Kaisers' association, was next heard. He detailed the extent of the Texas cattle Industry. Mr. Cowan said while the raisers had their differences with the packers and had not got the best of them yet In this question the Interest of the raisers and packers was identical.This statement is made In the course of the report of the majority of the Senate committee on privileges and elections, which was presented to the Senate today by Chairman Burrows after an investigation lasting over two years. The report, which covers thirty printed pages, siums up the case against Senator llced Smoot us follows:Representative Fulkerson of Missouri has Introduced 11 resolution calling on tlio president and the secretary of agriculture to Immediately make public any and all Information they may secure from the "great army of meat inspectors employed by the government" or from any other source that will tend to credit or discredit the product of any plant where meat products are prepared. At this dinner all the speakers, among them the bishop, referred to the friendly relations between the two nations, and many toasts to their permanent maintenance were offered. Apparently personal observation has caused Bishop Potter to change Ills views, and lie intimated that the Britisher has a sort of contempt for his American brother. DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING "The more deliberately and carefully the testimony taken 011 the investigation is considered, tile more irresistibly it leads to the conclusion that the lacts stated in the protest are true, that Mr. Siiioot is one of a selfperpetuutlng body of men, known as the first presidency, and twelve apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints, commonly known as the Mormon Church. Mr. Edsall's lot is the most seriously damaged of the private property. The cave was almost circular and cut Into his lot Just above his Bate for eight feet. It expended even farther Into the vacant lots on the other side. The road is entirely blocked and pedestrians and wagons have to make an extensive cut through the llekls nearby In order tn pass the spot. The cave is at no gfeat distance from Marcy cemetery, which, has been much damaged by settlings oC the earth. The caving is caused by the Lehigh Valley mine workings. Only a short stop wan made In Southampton by Mr. nod Mrs. Longworth. The royal car, which awaited them at Plymouth, where It. was expected they would leave the steamship, was taken during the night around to Southampton. The mayor of Southampton and the American consul there, Mr. Swalm, were the first persona to greet the travelers ou British soil, and they extended them a hearty welcome. House on Oregon Heights Struck Saturday Night. The magnitude of our country and thn Immensity of Its Interests of nbout all kinds Is both our glorious opportunity and our danger. We have come to our inheritance of lnrge things, and we must take them In the proportion In which they have come to us. We must measure up to them. Great eo-op»ratlve Interests are not the product of human avarice nor of grinding Indifference to popular rights. They are the result and the movements of a law with phenomena as unmistakable as any law In nature. The resolution also calls upon the secretary of agriculture to Immediately give to the public his opinion of the sanitary condition of the plants and the healthfulness of the products coming from the various plants. He said when he arrived in Liverpool he was met by representatives of several Ixmdon newspapers, who iuestioned him closely in regard to the Insurance scandals.

Graft Not New, Says College President. Schenectady. X. Y., June 11.—President Raymond of Union college, in his baccalaureate sermon, told the graduating class that the evils now denounced have always existed. It seems to many, he said, that with the decadence of some of the conventions of Christianity there has been a distinct ethical loss as shown by the disclosures made by investigating committees. It Is well to remember, however, that the evils now denounced have always existed, but have not always been denounced, at least I11 such unmeasured terms. Graft Is a new name for an old practice that had no particular name and 110 particular luioral calling. It was regarded as a little "off color" perhaps, but not black. ANNIVERSARY OF REV. DR. PARKE Not Hurt The family of Prank Nowak, who lives on Johnson street, Oregon Heights, had a marvelous escape from death by lightning during the storm that passed over this city last Saturday evening. Their house was badly wrecked by a Hash that visited nearly every room in the building, except the one In which they were sitting, eating supper. The Nowak family live in a house owned by A. B. Brown. The lightning hit It during the heavy shower that passed over the city early in the evening. Three men and a young girl were in the dining room at the time, and their nerves were severely tried by their close call. The 62d anniversary of Itev. Dr. N. (J. Parke's ministry in the Pittston Presbyterian church will be held In that church 011 Sunday next. Rev. VV. II. Sawtelle, of Ulster, Pa., a lifelong friends of Dr. Parke, will preach the anniversary sermon at 10:30 a. m. There will be a union service at 7:30 p. 111., at which brief addresses will be made by Rev. W. H. .Sawtelle, ltev. R. A. Rinker, tin- pastor-elect of the church, Rev. S. C. Houghton. Thomas H. Atherton and George Weir. The united choirs of tho Pittston church and Melanle Chapel, under the leadership of James Bone, will sing at both services. On Monday. June 18, there will be a reception for the children of the Sunday school, from 4 to 5 in the afternoon. The Older people of the church and Sunday"'school will be received from 8 to 10 on Monday evening. These receptions will be held in the Sunday school room of the church and will be in charge of the Ladies' Aid society. "That the said llrst presidency and twelve apostles do now control and for a long time past have controlled the political affairs of the state of Utah and have thus brought about In said state a union of church and state contrary to the constitution of said state of Utah and contrary to the constitution of the United States and that said Heed Smoot comes of the state of Utah in the choice of the hierarchy which controls the church and has usurped the functions of the State In said' state of Utah. How could we have brought the Iron from the mountains of Pennsylvania, wrought Into the steel of u thousand utilities. or the oil from our valleys, or harvested the wheat and corn from western prairies, or put a tracery of railways across the continent In every direction, or launched upon the seas steamships, one of which costs millions of dollars, if men of mighty executive ability had not combined their genius and their fortunes In co-operative endeavor? " 'My opinion of the Insurance scandals is that in America we wash our dirty llueu in public, in (Jreat Britain they do it privately.' "I looked carefully through all the London morning papers the next day, but the interview was not published." "Do the Englishman regard Americans as grafters?" the bishop was Our Debt to Corporations. aeked, Today Mr. and Mp».

The poor man owes more to the corporations than to any other commercial force for his opportunity to work at good wages, or to work at ail for that matter. The corporations which we sometimes thoughtlessly curse are the workingman's best friends. That there are evils to be guarded and evils to be corrected, that there Are some imperfect adjustments fhat fall of the largest results to tho greatest number and that do Injustice to some Interests no one will dispute, but competition cannot bo manufactured by legislation. "The more acute thinkers do not think we are grafters," he replied. "They think that we are easily tempted by gain. There Is one thing certain also, and that in that there is no love lost between the two countries." The lightning first struck the chimney and cut it off level with the roof. The deadly fluid here seemed to separate, part of it following the chimney and part running along the roof. That which followed the course of the chimney tore It from Its usual position, at points fully a foot. Beyond damage to the chimney there seemed 110 other serious effects of this part of the lightning. That which took its course along the roof, however, performed many wonderful maneuvres. For a distance of a half dozen feet at the apex of the house it tore tile roof apart, leaving an opening a foot wide. Then it turned down along the shingles, tearing a path three feet wide. It turned Into the house and entered an upper bedroom, leaving a hole 18 Inches in diameter in the ceiling. The bedroom was badly tossed up, but 110 great amount of damage was done. It then passed Into a small kitchen attached to the house. Here there was a water pipe leading to a sink. The lightning took the course of tlie pipe for a short distance and then the pipe was cut or melted apart. The sink was torn bodily from the wall and deposited 011 the floor some distance away. The lightning expended its last efforts on an upright piece of iron, such as shoemakers fasten lasts to. This was standing below the spot where the pipe was cut and as the lightning passed along it it was seared and marked. Patches of melted lead from the water pipe were found clinging to it. For several minutes after it had been touched the Iron was hot and heat could be felt in it for fully ten minutes. The lightning passed from the house by going through the lloor of the kitchen. Fully a squarefoot of wood was reduced to little more than powder by the transition of the deadly body through It. "It follows as a necessary conclusion from the facts that Mr. Smoot Is not entitled to a seat 111 the senate as a senator from the siate of Utah." England Worried About Our Meat. London.

There was lively bidding at the sheriff's sale In the court house on Saturday, when the church and the parsonage of St. Mary's Polish National congregation, Plymouth, was offered for sale to the highest bidder. Rev. Father Davldowskl was the former pastor of the church, but because he became a married man Rev. Father Hudor, who styles himself the bishop of that denomination, had hlin ousted after a bitter and long legal light. The facts in the case are many and varied and the courts finally decided that t*\e church property be sold. There Y'ere only two bidders, Attorney Uush Trescott, who represented Father DaVtdowskl, and Attorney John H. Williams, counsel for Bishop Hudor. Attorney Trescott started the bidding but Attorney Williams went him one better by offering $1,000 more. Thus they bid until $13,000 was reached, when Attorney Trescott's next bid was only $500. Attorney Williams went him $100 better and Attorney Trescott offered $100 more, at which point Attorney Williams bid another $100, making the total bid $13,800, at Which price It was knocked down to him. Itev Father Davldowski and his attorney were anxious to purchase the property as it is most valuable but they did not care to give more than $13,fi00, the amount of the mortgage that the Reading (Pa.) Trust Co. holds against the property. The purchase money was paid on Saturday afternoon when the title of the property was transferred to Bishop Hudor. A ma I Copper Atchison com H. K. T. . . .
