THE NEW YORK SUN REVIEWS HIS CONGRESS OF CHURCHES. FIR8T SESSION OF THE AMERICAN Blookhtoton, Ind., May 13.—William Wright was arrested in Torre Haut D and brought here, charged with the New Albany train robbery, committed near here two weeks ago. He says: "It looks kind of hard to be here under these circumstances, but I feel confident that Weber will set me free. I want to see him as quiok as possible. I left Tuesday, the day before the crime was committed, for Torre Haute, to go to my uncle's for work. He had none, and I then bought some notions and went out on a tramp to sell for a living. The night the crime was committed I was 14 miles west of Terre Haute, as I can prove by a man whom I stayed all night with. I forget his name. I did not hear of their bunting me until Thursday last. On Sunday I went and gave myself up. I told the police I wanted tho matter straightened up at once. I had word from my wife several times, and wrote her a letter the day the crime was committed. I am sure they will set me at liberty." The story is well connected, but does noagree with that of his wife or father. The general impression is that he bought a ticket to prove that he was out of the neighborhood, and that the letter from Terre Haute was mailed by an accomplice, for it is not in his handwriting. His manner is careless and he wants to talk to everybody. MAJORITY. Ottawa, May 12.—Lord Melguud, in iriew cf tho very unsatisfactory outlook in tto Northwest, has bean hurriedly recalled by (he government to Ottawa to act as advisor and assist in directing from this end of the lino. The recall of Lord Meltjund has strengthened the belief that the government regards the situation with g-eater alarm than it is willing to admit. Tho government troops have so far scored no viotory in either of the four engagements, and tho effect of this has been to incito both Indijjis and half-breeds to a general uprising-. A serious mistake has been mtule in sending infantry to the Northwest in place of cavalry to carry on an Indian warfare. Gen. JKHdloton is noy calling for troop*, and Tho minister of militia has or.Tered several corps to hold themselves ready to go to tho front at onoa. Sir John Mnednald stated in parliament that the official r port of.the Duck Lriko fight has been received from Mai. Crozier, bu£ it was not sa ;jfactjrily made out, and has been return ;J to that ottiC3r to be enlarged upon. It is Generally believed that the report reflects discreditably on the action of someone whom the government does not care tocompro;ntoe. There is no truth in the statement that correspondence has passed between the Canadian and British governments regarding the intervention of the latter in assisting to put down tha rebellion.

There are very many, probably more than Mr. Randall himself understands, to whom this announcement is most welcome. Aside from all personal mterest in Mr. Randall, there exist now very special reasons why those who comprehend what is before his party do most fervently hopo that he may find abundant health and strength in the coming summer. Such realize, as no doubt Mr. Randall himself does, that before many months heavy drafts will be made upon his resources. Wilkesbarre, l*i., May 12.—The new hospital at Plymouth for tho reception of patients afflicted with the lever has been formally opened. Only those who have no homes will be admitted. Medical attendance and nurses will be free. Two additional nurses from New York have arrived. A large quantity of medicine was transferred from the Wilkesbarre hospital to Plymouth. Wilkesbarre is being canvassed by a committee of prominent citizens soliciting aid for the fever-stricken people. The money received from outside sources is already expended. On one street in the town (Gaylord avenue) there are some 18 families that must be kept in bread and medicine. All the members are sick with the disease, including the male members, and as a consequence there is no income. It ooste $40 a day to keep*hese families alone. Scattered in various other parts of, the city there are about 80 casas which are daily in receipt of aid from the relief committee. There were two deaths last night aud 13 new cases. To-day there were three deaths and four funerals. Drs. Frouch and Shakespeare, of Philadelphia, made three post-mortem examinations at Plymouth, again showing that the disease prevalent there is true typhoid fever. There are now 150 families being provided for by the relief committee. Contributions have been received to the amount of $2,400, but this will meet only temperary need. Hartford, May 13.—The "American Congress of Churches,n including aiqoiiff Mb delegates representatives from nearly all branches of the Protestant church in the United States, convened in first annual session here. The movement began on the 400th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther last year, when several clergymen ot Pittsfield, Mass., sent out circulars to ministers and prominent laymen of all denominations throughout the country inviting them to meet in convention in June following. At the meeting of the convention a council of 35 was appointed, with authority to direct all future operations. Among the members of the council are Rev. Dr. Joseph Anderson, of Waterbury; Justin Dewey, of Great Barrington: Rev. J. B. Thomas, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Rev. Dr. Charles S. Robinson, of New York; Rev. Dr. William Ormiston, of New York; Rev. Dr. Pea body, of Cambridge, and other men of equal rank. • There i3 no intention of forming • new denomination or even of expressing an opinion on any disputed point of doctrine. The aim is by tiie holding of public meetings from time to time to have a full and frank discussion and elucidation of the theological questions on which denominations differ and the topics of church work in which all are interested, to the end that members of different sects may understand eaoh other's creeds more fully and all work together more harmoniously in advancing a common ChristianityLondon, May 12.—Lord Hartington'a explanation of the Soudan campaign Was received in tho house of commons with giggling laughter from the Tories.

Wolseley himself admits the justice of this view, and that in default of a Russian war ho longs for an opportunity to renew the Soudan campaign next full in the hope of retrieving his battered reputation.It is not surprising that Mr. Randall should have been taken ill after the adjournment of congresa He had carried for a year and a half a burden too great for one man. His capacity for work, and work of the most irksome and drudging Jcind, is admittedly unexcelled by that of any man of recent years in congress. Few know how much is required of the chairman of the appropriation committee, when the (lutiee are thoroughly well done. Probably not one of the departments of the government requires such arduous work of its head. The duties of the fluirmm of the appropriations committee are almost infinite in their detail, dry as an old common law pleading, and require a thorough knowledge of every department of the government As Garfield once said, no man ought to be president who had not served a long time on the appropriations committee. In addition to the labors thus entailed on Mr. Randall last year, he found himself compelled to face the majority of his party and prevent it from doing what he regarded as a needless and uncalled for injury. Mr. Randall's historic achievement in congress was the defeat of the Force bill; but those who know the tremendous labors entailed on hiin in the first session of the Forty-eighth congress, and the success with which h9 performed them, think that this record of his is more noteworthy than the other. That was a contest of two or three days; the lai.tor one was sustained for months and rendered doubly difficult by reason of his duties as chairman of the appropriation committee, and also because it was confined wholly to his own party. The presidential canvass gave Mr. Randall no time for rest, and when that was over ho plunged again into the arduous work that came upon him aa chairman of the appropriations. It is no wonder that reaction came. The utterances by the foreign and war secretaries, however, make it certain that the government is determined not to prolong the conflict, and everybody is asking whether, in view of this plain expression of distrust, Lord Wolseley will not be forced to resign. The doctors refused to let Weber come up to-day, but it is thought he will be here tomorrow to say whether Wright is the man. CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Boyet and Reynolds. The garden has been well filled all day, and the managers seem to anticipate a more than usually large attendance during the week. Noremac, the Scotchman and well-known pedestrian, gave up the contest after doing 10 miles. At 11 o'clock last night Maddocks, with a score of 266 miles and 4 laps, was 80 miles ahead of the record made by Walton in the»last roller skating race. Gen. Grant Hard at Work. For a long time they were carried on the rolls as missing, but they have gradually been dropped, and it is now considered certain that they strayed beyond the lines after the battles of Abu Klea and Gubat, and were captured and butchered by the Arabs. The fate of Frank Vizitelly, the artist-correspondent of The London Graphic, is also considered sealod. He was supposed to be the only survivor of the massacre of Hicks Pasha's army at El Obeid in Novenfijer, 1883, and was known to be a prisoner in El Mahdi's camp for some months after that disaster. Nothing has now beon heard from him since November, 1884, and even the most hopeful of his friends have given him up for lost. Mr. Vizitelly was a war correspondent of great experience and hitherto of wonderful luck. New York, Hay 13.—During the oarly part of Sunday night Gen. Grant experienced much pain in his throat. He was restless. Soon after midnighthe slept, but his sleep was not continnoua He awoke at intervals, and food was given him through the night. It was 10 o'clock yesterday morning before he aroso and was dressed. He had slept about tlio usual number of hours, though sleep had been interrupted. Dr. Douglas remained all night, and left tho general asleep at 9 o'clock. During the forenoon Gen. Grant turned his attention to his book and did some work upon it. Tho genial warmth tempted the general to take a prolonged drive, and he returned to the house in good spirits after it. He partook of luncheon, and then resumed work on his book until dinner, after which ho spent the evening in social conversation with the members of his family. In the words of Col. Grant: "Father is feeling quite well to-day. The pain in his throat was a little increased tc-day," perhaps owing to the changc of air." At the inaugural meeting of the "Congress" there was a large attendance of clergy and laity. Gen. Harrison presided, and there were 50 vice-presidents, among them Senators Dawes and Hawley, Edmunds, of Vermont; Presidents Porter, of Yale, Seelye, of Amherst, Hitchcock, of the Union theological seminary, New York; Drs. Lyman Abbott and Henry M. Dexter, Rev. Dr. Storra, of Brooklyn, and several Episcopalian and Methodist bishops. Toronto, May 12.—A cable dispatch says 'Jie Princess Louise's Northwest committee issued their first appeal to the public for subscriptions yesterday. Princess Louise is president of the committee, and on the board are a large number of leading bankers and financiers. About £1,000 pounds was promised. The ntmost dispatch possible be shown in sending surgeons and materials.

The rest of the men were well up and all of them seemed as if they would outvie each other in point of endurance. Fargo, Dak., May 13.—Fifty Roumanians, including women and children, from Qu'Appelle, have arrived here. They state that the war was making it too hot for them, and they are now on their way to settle at points along the Northern Pacific, especially north of Jamestown. The men seem to have plenty of money. They have their priest with them, and say this is but the first installment of a large number who will coma from Manitoba to Dakota. "The question arises whether this infant institution affords such promise of vigorous life and growth, of comprehensive and beneficent powers, as justify the large name adopted for it and warrant the great expectations of its future effloiency which itB name suggests. Is it founded on a catholic basis \ Is its instrumental idea a practicable and effective one ? Has it a sufficient reason for existence in the ultimate object proposed I Has it simplicity of aim, freedom of operation and an apostolic spirit I If an affirmative answer can be given to such questions, then, gentlemen, the name you have adopted is not too large for your enterprise, which, unless it should be sadly mismanaged, may be confidently expected to accomplish much in the way of correcting serious deficiencies, not to say evils, in our American Christendom. It cannot be doubted, I think, that serious defects or evils exist in our American churches which imperatively call for some methods of correction. There is a lack of harmonious operation; there is a wasteful expenditure of money and of energy, both at home and abroad; here there is a glut of gospel provision, while yonder there is a famine of the Word; there are disastrous competitions where there should be generous co-operation; there are irritations and disagreements and contentions, which a freer interchange of views and a better mutual acquaintance wouli terminate; there are petty ecclesiastical and theological provincialisms which would disappear if the village diagram of divine things could be displaced by some cosmoramic exhibition of the kingdom of God; there are ignorances, jealousies, obstinacies and antagonisms which only the gentle diffusion of a cosmopolitan spirit will ever dispel; in short, there is a serious failure on the part of our churches to make just that impression on the world which our Lord desired and prayed that they Bhould make, namely, that they are his agents and representatives; and this failure is largely due to their culpable negligence of that union which he regarded as essential and for which, in their behalf, he earnestly prayed. It is not consolidation that is desirable but co-operation; not monotony in unison, but music in harmony; not the exact uniformities of battalions in dress parade, but the more beautiful unity in variety of a divine system whoso countless stars and ooosfiliations move and shine ring in their separate but co-ordinate courses. And because this congress aims to foster and develop that point of unity, which alone can and will determine the external conditions and relations of the communion of saints, it has, like Hopeful, the key of premise in its bosom Is It Trtls t The reference by Lord Hartington to the civilized troops which are to be left at Suakim is believed, .without doubt, to mean that a Turkish force is to be sent to garrison that place under the superintendence of British officers.

She was the daughter of a well-known deceased banker of Canton, O., and sole heiress of a very wealthy couple, Mr. and Mrs. Sellers, of Carrolton, O. Two days after the disappearance A. B. Rubman, an actor, announced tbat he and Miss Emma had been married, but gave no clue to her whereabouts. The grandparents at Carrolton were notified that the heiress to their wealth was ensconced at the Sherman house, and came here quickly, but Miss Shober had again disappeared. The hotel authorities believe that the Cincinnati schoolgirl is still in the city. She left a note for a gentleman whose name is suppressed. -  Another Romantic SclioolfftrL Erik, Pa., May IS.—The second trial at Lawyer Rosenzweig's $100,000 suit against the Lake Shore railroad for personal damages sustained by being ejected from the New York express began yesterday. The railroad company moved the court for an order to chloroform the plaintiff that experimental tests might be made on his alleged paralyzed limbs. Rosenzweig offered to submit, but the family physician swore he would not be responsible for his patient's life under anaesthetics. Judge Oatlbrath overruled the motion, saying that after the plaintiff had submitted to electric and other testa for three hours by defendants! doctors, it waf carrying the thing too far to ask that he be made insensible with defendants' drugs and risk his life.

Washington, May 12.—It is denied at the treasury that any consideration has yet been given to the question of Mr. E. O. Graves' successor as assistant treasurer. The gossip* are far ahead of this, however, and have named Mr. A G. Collins, a lawyer of Batavia, N. Y., as the coming man. The impression prevails in the department that Treasurer Jordan will name his assistant, and will make the selection with a view to securing a man thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office and capable of performing a share of the work. The belief that such a man cannot be found outside of the department serves to encourage the officers of the bureau to hope that the position nay be filled by promotion. E. O. Graves* Suceaasox.

Newspaper Men Enjoy Themselves. fKWAj, The Unfortunate B. and M. Telegraph Co. A remarkablv effective reply to this speech was ms.de on behalf of tbn cabinet by Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, president of the board of trade and member for Birmingham, who characterized Lord Hamilton's language as valiant but devoid of sense, and worthy of a rhetorician rather than of a statesman. If the house desired to call the government to account, continued Mr. Chamberlain, t ho matter was in their own bands. Instead of discussing such weak and absurd motions as the present, they could simply refuse to grant the supplies for which the government asked in order to carry out Its policy. Baltimore, May 12.—Francis P. Stevens, has filed a petition in tho case of Francis W. Jones and Francis P. Stevens against the Bankers and Merchants' Telegraph company, praying for tne removal of John V. L. Graham, co-receiver with himself of the B. and M. The petition alleges that for the past six months the receivers have done nothing, and the company has not paid running expenses ; that the stockholders and creditors in New York are about to reorganize to enable the corporation to continue, and for that reason desire the receivers appointed in this state to sell the property subject to encumbrances of mortgages of $300,000 and $10,000,000, so that this interest may be purchased by the company.  This same senator said that if Mr. Cleveland should be elected, it was Mr. Randall's course in the house that made it possible. Minister Cox and Turkey. There are many Democrats, among whom Mr. Randall is a conspicuous and representative man, who look with comparative indifference on the fuss and fuming that is now going on regarding appointments to office. These men know that this flurry is as a zephyr to a tornado in comparison with the real, testing work of the new administration, which can hardly be begun before next winter. Whjn that time comes, the president will then find what it is worth to have a man like M.r. Randall to support in the house those great administrative meas.tufes of Democracy which are to be the test of *he new administration. The" senator to whom I have referred struck the keynote of Mr. Randall's political character in saying -that he always kept in the clearest view the -vital principles of Democracy, and never allowed them to be overshadowed by other issues that were nfct vital. To Mr. Randall the priaciples of Democracy are liko the moral law. There is absolute right and Absolute wrong, and no intermediate ground. As a party leader he lias been inflexible in this regard. He never would recognize the doctrine of expediency in the consideration of any matter in which the principles of Democratic government were involved. In other Matters, where these vital principles were Aiot at issue, Mr. Ranidall was able to be expedient or yielding. It is probably due to this distinction that Mr. Randall's career in congress has cost him some friends, who could not understand how lie could bo so immovable in certain regards and so yielding in others. It was right here that those who complained of his course on the tariff bill last year grounded their  plaints. They could not understand how so inflexible a Democrat as Mr. Randall coul'l be found opposing the majority in his party. But Mr. Randall never could see that the method and comparative rate of taxation was a matter of vital Democratic policy. Ke believed that it was a cardinal jprinoipie that taxation should be keut down to tlowest rate consistent with maintaining tjjfi government economically, but as to -the .wxlJhod and manner of raising the revenue Democrats might differ without ;any iinp*i»;.uent of principles. That was •one reason, aui) another was that no man Jmows better than Mr. Randall that through ttianco and fate there are a good many Federalists who now act with the Democratic party, and not a few Democrats in the Republican party. To Kecelve the Statu* of Liberty. Washington, May 12.—Mr. 8. S. Cox said to a representative of the United Press that unless the delegations from New York which are to arrive hem to-morrow to urge him to decline the Turkish mission can present reasons which win convince him that they are paramount to his ill-health he will go to Turkey. New York, May 12.—Preparations are being made at the navy yard to send the United States steamers Dispatch and Minnesota down the Narrows to.meet and salute the French transport Isere, which bears the Bartholdi statue. It is not yet known when the Isere will make her appearance, but the two men-of-war have been ordered to be in readiness. Both ships will be decorated with the flags of the French and American navies, and while the salutes are being fired from them and the forts along the Narrow* the American crews will man their yards and cheer the crew of the Isere while she sails up the bay. Mr. Henry Chaplin, Conservative member for Lincolnshire, supported the motion and dwelt upon the waste of blood and treasure and the inflation of ruin in the Soudan, which he declared had had no other object than to save the seats of an Imbecile ministry. Lord Randolph Churchill, Conservative, spoke in favor of the motion, but was less bitter than usual in t«s strictures upon the government. He claimed that the motion was purposely worded so as to enable the ministers to retire with grace and dignity from a positionWhich it would be impossible for them to retain. He took occasion to defend the Tories from the charge that they were the war party. The real war party, in spite of their claim to desire peace, were the Liberals, who sought a vote of $55,000,000 for war purposes. Lord Hartington, secretary of state for war, closed the debate with a forcible and eloquent speech in defense of the government's policy, and at 9:20 a. m. a vote was taken which resulted in a majority of 80 for the government, the motion of censure being defeated by 269 yeas to 290 nays.

Not jnere than half of the managers were in town at the time, so no consultation coitfd be had upon the claims of the workmen.

A depraved church is a poor conductor for the gospel. Its false life will break the force of the truth spoken, or cause it to be received with a large admixture of falsehood. The soiled conduit will affect the pure water. It is exactly here that the evil of a divided Christendom receives its color.
