CHOICE TO BE ]ADZ lE EK The Post Considered One of Great Importance. VARIOUS NAMES MENTIONTED The exclusive announcement in The Star several days ago that the President will soon appoint a new minister' to Spain is strengthened from the best of sources to- day. Unless something occurs to deter. the appointment will be made next week. The sooner the President can make the appointment the better he will be pleased. He is now trying to find -the man he wants to fill the bill. The post has been indirectly offered to several good men, and the nailes of others have been suggested. Represen- tive Hitt is believed to have declined the appointment. The President wan's a big man for the pos!tIon-a man. in fact, who is away above the place. He must have a man of this kind in the emergency which will probably confront the administration. This Is one instance where the President will probably have to do the asking. He wouldn't have a man who applies for the place. The President is going to pick out a man who under ordinary circumstances would promptly refuse the offer, and put the case before him as a situation demanding a patriot's services and a patriot's sacri- fices. Under these circumstances, with the prospect of fame and glory as his portion, a good ma- will be induced to take the cerumission and go to Spain to deal with the Spaniards. The very fact that it is ad- mitted that the President is hunting for a man of the description given corroborates ail that has been said tending to show that the President is going to play a game with Spain that requires tact, brains and dip.omacy. and which may finally end in serious complications. If this prospect did no, loom ahead there would be no occasion to jook for a man broader than the office r-eitires. The assertion that Commissioner Cal- h;n may be picked out is nothing but gosip. Mr. Calhoun's report to the Prest- de nt will necessarily lean to one side or tL.e other. One sido will be offended, ani It.- appointment would, therefore, be in- a lvi-abi,. In his search for a man the 1'..' :.ient will havy several things to avoid. Ii- must not get a man whose record is f; -orable to Spain or to Cuba. Spain would not acept a man known to be in sympathy a:h the insurgents. The Senate would i-.ably not confirm a man who had any l .*lenciee toward Spain. In this respect, a- in many others. the President is re- lied as having an unusually delica:e I-k. \;hitelaw Reid. who is said to have been asked to go to the queen's jubilee as a spe- cial arnbassad!or from this country, was at th White House today In conference with tih. President. It is understood that his name has been suggested for the Spanish nr-sioni to the Presilent. A tender may or m.y not have been made today. -\A-Minister to Germany John A. Kas' son has been spoken of. and some of his fri nds speak highly of his qualifications. Sir e mention was made of ex-Senator Ed- munds a number of letters have gone to tIh White House urging his appointment. but the fact that Judge Edmunds is looked? sen as pro-Spanish in his views is operat- ing against him, and It is unlikely that he ha.; be-n even indirectly sounded from the White House. May le Raised to an Embasy. Addttiona! gossip on the subject is that the Presidnt contemplates conferring the rark of ambassador upon the man he nominates to Spain. It is said that there has been an informal exchange of views between the United States and Spain, In which the latter is agrreable to the am- b.a'salorship idea. a - TH!REE MORE BRIGADIER GENERALS C'elouets Named fear Promotion by the President.

Krn... .a.....sa THE PASTOR DISMISSED LeterU Written by Rev. L G. Harims to Mr. a..o System of Deeeption-Action of the Church Last Night- Amount ,e Lee.. Mr. W. L. Bruen, who, as stated in yes- terday's Star, is a heavy financial loser by the peculiar transactions of Rev. A. G. Harrison, the pastor of the People's Tab- ernacle, was not, he said, up to a late hour today, able to form an idea with any ex- actness what would be the limit of his lose'c from that cause. Several more bills, which in the aggre- gate amounted to between $200 and S300, and which Mr. Bruen thought had been paid by Harrison, reached Mr. Bruen to- day, and he at once assumed the responsi- bility for thzir payment. The fact alo came to the surface today that several months -.go Mr. Bruen gave Harrison a check for $7.-M to pay a debt on what is known as Grace Chapel, Good Hope. and another for $4) to settle a claim against a church at Landover, the money for both of which were. it is s-id, drawn by Harrison and appropriatel to his own tuse. The history of the building of Grace Chapel illustrates the remaraoly succets- ful efforts of Harrison in ingratiatrig him- self with church people. Building Churches. Referring to this, Mr. Bruen said to a Star reporter: "In September, 18-), Harrison suggested to the people residing on Bowen road at a pcint where out-of-door meetings were then being held that they should erect a church. He accordingly Interested John H. Pierce, James F. Pierce, George E. Pierce, John T. Gibson, John T. Smith, Geo. E. Smith and Benjamin A. Smith In his building scheme, and Harrison took the responsibility of erecting the church. Accordingly, John H. Pierce was induced by Harrison to mort- gage his farm for $2,200. With this money the church was erected, and Harrison pledged himself to pay back the money to Mr. Pierce in twelve months, and gave a guarantee to Mr. Pierce that he would not lose his home. In November, 185, Harri- son, representing that he held the title to the church himself, and that he had suc- ceeded in paying off all the church indebt- edr.ess except a balance of $750, procured that sum from me. Since the church has been completed the community has re- funded to John H. Pierce $80m), so that the debt upon the Pierce farm is now $1,400. "Harrison made me similar representa- tions respecting a church which he built at Landover. that he held the title to the church himself, that all the indebtedness had been paid thereon except $401, and Harrison procured that sum also from me on October 28, last." Mr. James F. Pierce, brother of Mr. John H. Pierce, above mentioned, called upon Mr. Bruen in regard to the affairs of Grace Chapel today. Mr. Bruen told Mr. Pierce that he did not care, being all at sea as to the extent of his own losses by Harrison, to assume any further obliga- tions at present. but intimated tha-t there was no need for his brother to feel any anxiety for fear he and his family might lose their hc:ne as the result of Mr. Pierce's efforts in behalf of the church. Mr. Bruen, in speaking of the bills which Harrison could have avoided paying any- thing on from the money he furnished him, said he regarded it very strange that on May 8 last Harrison paid to J. H. D. Smoot & Co., lumber dealers, on account of their lumber bill of V2,719.05, the sum of 3888.20. An Explanation. "I would like to state to the community through The Star," said Mr. Bruen, "how Harrison laid the foundation of the means by which he has succeeded in swindling me. When Rev. David Wilson. the pastor of the church of which the People's Taber- nacle is the successor, died, which 'was last fall, I was in Chicago, attending a conven- tion. During nmy stay in that city I re- ceived a letter from Harrison, a copy of which was as follows: " 'Brother Wilson sent for me in his dying hour and requested me to take charge of his church, for he believed that you would help me to preach in the church. I prom- ised him that I, with God's blessing and your assistance and his dying prayers for me, would do the best I possibly could. His last words were for the Lord's blessing upon you for what you have done for him. I told him to rest in peace, for I knew that you would do what was right, and we would hold his congregation together. He also requested that we hold a revival in his church after his funeral. I promised that after you came home we would. Five men of the council by which the church is gov- erned came to see me today, requesting me t, take charge of the church. I told them tMat I will see you and get your advice. Kindly write to me ana tell me just what to do. I will do all I can. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2 p.m. Broth- er Wilson requested me to preach his fu- neral sermon and take charge of the fu- neral, which I have done. We have the church at Merritield weatherboarded, and all goes fine there. Pray for me, that the blessing of God may rest upon me, dear Brother Bruen, for I know that God will answer your Drayer. "'Your brother in the work, (Signed) "'A. G. HARRISON. "'P.S.-I will get Brother Snale to take the church at Landover, Md." "Dr. Wilson," continued Mr. Bruen, "was a dear friend of mine, and I felt it my duty to do all I could to comply with hid dying wishes, for I did not doubt that Har. rison wrote me the truth. "The next day, and vwhile considering the matter, I received a second letter from Harrison, as follows: " 'Dear Brother: Take me in your hands and do as you see beat for the most good-r if to preach at Faith Chapel or at Wlsaon'r. church, or at your new chapel. Bruen's Chapel, or to go to a mission, or to visit the poor and bring the gospel to them in their homes, or to go on the gospel wagon -anything for God that you see best. If you will be the head, I will do the world you see best to be done. Truly your brother in the work.' "As the result Harrison gained my im- plicit confidence, with the further result that ihave been the victim of gross fraud and embezzlement. "At the meeting of the church council held in the church last evening the letters above quoted were read to Mr. Wilson, a son of the former minister, and Mr. Wilson toi~t me that all the alleged conversations between his father and Harrison were- false; that his father certainly would have told him if Harrison had been the man of his choIce, as his father told him every- thing relating to the matters of the church, and he never heard Harrison's 'name men- tioned in such connection." Chureh Action. After the adjournment of the council last night the following written statemnent was furnished by Mr Bruen to the repre- sentative of The Star: "The coun-il of The People's Tabernacle at their called meeting in the church on Wednesday night formally dismissed Stev. A. G. Harrison from the pastorate and from all conrnection with the ahurch on ac- count of gross fraud and embalement" The house No. '6S 1th atreet southeast, formerly occupied by the HgeiMson ,a was today opened by anthorIty.o owney of the buildiag, and a piapo ad other articles surrendered 1weethe soenpas to whoma they belmgse ' -Government receipta today-,o tems.

PRESIDENT'S SOUTHERN TRIP Vice President Hobart and Senator Platt of New York had an early conference with the President on what the New York sen- ator described as "legislative matters." The tariff was the subject of. the confer- ence. Senator Wilson, another member of the committee appointed yesterday, also called upon the President. Ex-Senator Call of Florida was at the White House today to see the President, but because of the latter's engagements, did not remain. saying he would call again. Mr. Call has now entered the contest for a place on the Dawes commission. He wants to become one of the democratic members of this commission. His petition has been signed by a number of his former colleagues in the Senate. They are expected to see the President in his behalf, but in the meantime Mr. Call will keep his eyes open in his own behalf. The next republican who goes on the com- mission will be Thomas Needles of Illinois. Pennsylvania Matters. Senator Penrose and Representative Bing- ham of Pennsylvania had a talk with the President today about Pennsylvania mat- ters they are interested in. -Senators Pen- rose and Quay have withdrawn the applU- cation of J. B. Raymond of Altoona for a consulship in Hayti, and have entered his name for dcputy auditorship or some equally good place at home. Raymond Is one of the brightest colored republicans in Pennsylvania. ~fe is an alderman at Altoona, and was a delegate to the St. Louis convention. Minister to Norway-Sweden. There is no doubt, it is said by Maine men, that W. W. Thomas will receive the appointn.ent of min!ster to Norway and Sweden. The only miscalculation made by the friends of Mr. Thomas was that the appointment would have been made be- fore this. The appointment is held up to allow Mr. Ferguson, the democrat holding the place, to remain some time longer. In the last campaign Mr. Ferguson left his post and came to this country to speak in behalf of McKinley. He is said to have dc.ne good work, for which the President does not desire to fill his place for some time. Representative Evans of Kentucky pre- sented Charles D. Gates to the President. Mr. Gates is the man who has been in- dersed by Mr. Evans for collector of inter- nal revenue at Louisville, and over which thEre is a friendly contest between Mr. Evans and Senator Deboe. The latter has indorsed C. E. Sapp, state president of the Kentucky A. P. A. National Committeeman Grant of Texas had an interview with the resident about several offices which are soon to be vacant in his state. The coliectorship of customs at Brownville is one of these places. Senator Foraker and ex-Mayor Caldwell of Cincinnati were visitors. Going by Way of Louisville. The President today decided that he will go to Nashville next month by way of the Chesapeake and Ohio road and return by way of the Southern. The route to Nashville will take him through West Vir- ginia and Kentucky. He will leave early in the morning of the 10th or 11th of June. that he may observe the scenery of the route. TO REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY. Whitelaw Reid May Be Chosen-No Actual Proffer Yet Made. The President has still under considera- tion the question of representation of the United States at the queen's jubilee next month. He has already provided for the representation of the army by Major General Miles and of the navy by Ad- miral Miller, and the question that remains to be settled is whether or not a special civilian ambassador shall be appointed in addition, or whether Am- bassador Hay shall, with the aid of a set of special credentials, be allowed to act for his government. The precedents of the department and the inclination of the officials are in favor of the latter course, but it appears that most of the great pow- ers of the world will serd special ambas- sadors to do extraordinary honor to her majesty, so that it may be that rather than stand apart in this matter and appear to be lacking in consideration the President will probably conform to the general rule. In this case the name he has under con- sideration is that of Mr. Whitelaw Reid of New York, although it is said at the State Department that no actual proffer of the honor to Mr. leid has yet been made. MARINE BAND'S TRIP. Ordered to Go to Philadelphia Next Week, Secretary Long today issued an order for the Marine Band to visit Philadelphia on the 2d proximo to take part in the cere- monies attending the national opening of the CommercIal Museum and the tenth an- niversary of the Manufacturers' Club. Ac- cording to the oommtttee having charge of the affair, they will be treated as guests of the city of Philadelphia during their stay there, and will be under no expense whatever for transportation or subsistence. As has been already stated, President Mc- KInley and hIs cabinet will be present at the ceremonies in the Quaker city. ZANZIBAR SLAVES FREED. Emancipation Proclamation Issned by the Sultan. United States Consul Mohun at Zanzibar has inforrred the State Department that the sultan, Hamaud bin Mahomed bin Said, April 7 issi ed a proclamation abolishing the legal' status of slavery in the islands of Zanzibar aid Cemba. The consul says: "It was thought by many persons that the effect of freeing the slaves would be to throw many thousand negroes on their own resources, and that great sufferings and privations would ensue for three or four years; but from what I can see not one person will suffer in the slightest de- gree. In my opinion not 10 per cent of the present generation of slaves wilt leave their mrsters, adid to outward appearances the condition of the negro is the same as before emancipation.

Senator Hawley's Statement Regard- ing a Difference With Mr. Aldrich. At the meeting of the Senate steering committee last night hot words passed be tween Senator Hawley of Connecticut and Senator Aldrich. and a personal rupture be- twergi them was threatened. The contro- versY occurred over some item in the tariff bill. Referring to accounts published of th'e Incident, Senator Hawley said today that he had been incensed over the finance com- mittee's attitude toward aniline dyes, and had expressed himself in pretty-:bot words toward Senator Aldrich. He had, however, afterward talked the matter over with the Rhode Islard senator and considers that they are as good friends as they ever were. Senator Hawley says the matter was very trivial, and he deprecates the publications concerning it. COMPLETING THE DIG TUNNEL. Gen. Wilson Think. Favorably of Sea- ator McMillan's BHl. Gen. John M.

CURCH DIGNI 1 PRS St Peter's Historic Church Ablaze With Light and Decorations. GREAT CROWD ATTENDS ROME, May 27.-The canonization today of the Bloomed Zaccaria, founder of the Order of Barnabites, and of the Blessed Fourier De Mataincour, surnamed the Apostle of Lorraine, was the most impres- sive ceremony witnessed at St. Peter's since the abolition of the temporal bower of the popes, the only difference in this morning's ceremonial and those which oc- curred under the sovereignty of the popes being that the external gates of St. Peter's were closed and that tickets of admission to the cathedral had to be obtained. The huge Basilica was thronged. Accord- ing to estimates 40,000 persons were prt.s- ent. The approaches to the church were lined by Italian troops. Inside the build- ing were the pontifical gendarmes and the Swiss pontifical guards. Young men be- longing to the different Catholic societies, under the direction of the pontifical cham- berlains, acted as ushers. Crowds Began Coming Early. From as early as 6 o'clock in the morn- ing a stream of carriages and pedestrians set In toward the Basilica, and by 8 o'clozk St. Peter's was crowded. Its interior was aglow with the lights of thousands of candles, which a force of 300 lay brothers ccimmenced lighting at the apeol, where the pontifical throne, surmounted by an immense picture of the Holy Trinity, was surrounded by banners, depicting the mir- acles wrought by the Blessed Zaccaria and the Bles.sed Fourier. Soon after S o'clock the strains of the "Ave Maria" heralded the approach )f the inaugural procession from the Sistine Chapel. It 'vas headed by representatives of the Mendicant and Monastic orders, and was typical of the entire ecclesiastical orders, from the stu- dent.; to the prelates, patriarzis and car- dinals, culminating in the venera:le fig..re ofsthe supreme pontiff, Leo XIII, borne on the sodia gestatoria, attended by he bear- ers of the trad!tional fiabel!i. His holiness wore the pontifical tiara; In his left hand he carried a lighted candle, and with his right hand he blessed the people while traversing the nave. The procession halted at the altar of the blessed sacrament to permit of the pope making adoration. Then, after tne pontifi- cal noble guard had presented arms, his holiness proceeded to the apse and seated himself upon the throne, on the steps of which were grouped twelve assistant arch- bishops and bishops. Obeisance to the Pope. The assembled dignitaries of the church *Wsne the customary obeisance to the pon- tiff, tire cardinals kissing his I I and re- ceiving the accolade, the bishops kissing his hand and knee, and the minor prelates kissing his feet. This ceremony completed the dignitaries of the church took their places An the stalls. The side seats of the aie were occupied by the princes and patricians of Rome, the Knights af Malta and the members of the diplomatic corps. The ceremony of canonization followed. It was divided into three parts, namely. the request of the pope to grant the canon- isation, the proclamation canonizing the blessed Zaccaria and the blessed Four- ier and the pontifical mass. Cardinal Gaetnao Aloisi-Masella, prefect of the congregation of sacred rites, the ad- vocates of the cause of canonizing, for- mally demanded that the blessed Zaccaria and the Blessed Fourier be Inscribed on the roll of saints, making the demand thrice, instanter, instantius and instantis- simo. After the first request the pope intoned the litany of the saints. After the second request his holiness intoned the "vini cre- ator." After the third request his holiness, wearing the mitre of doctor of the church, proclaimed the new saints. The pope then authorized the official act of proclamation and afterward intoned the "te deum," In which the entire congregation joined. At the same time the bells 0t the Vatican and of the Basilica pealed and they set ringing the bells of all churches In Rome. Mass Celebrated After Canounmation. The canonization being completed, Cardi- nal Luig Orogli Di Santo Stefano, dean of the Sacred College and Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, celebrated mass. The offertory followed, at which special gifts, emblematic of the canonization, were pre- sented to the pope. They included five col- ored, decorated candles, two loaves of uread emblazoned with the arms of Leo XII1 in gold and silver, two casks, one gilded and containing wine and the other silvered and containing water, and three cages. In the first cage were turtle doves, in the second were rock doves, and In the third were smaller birds, all symbo of the virtues of the blessed ZaccariadW the blessed Fourier, whose names had just been in- atcribed upon the hagiological calendar, The music of the mass was Chanted by the choir of the Sistine Chapel, and at the moment of the elevation, the famous asiver trumpets played a prelude to a chorus by several hundred children stationed in the gallery of the dome, The effect of the childish voices descending from the great height was very beautiful. After mass the procession returned to the Vatican in the same order as it came, and subsequently the great gates of St. Peters were opened in order to permit the general public to view the decorations, WARSHIPS IN THE LEVAN I.

EID OF 351R II11'3 TRIAL Taken From Jury on Motion of the Defense. MR. SEARLES TOMORROW The third. and In the opinion of not a few members of the local bar, the list day of the trial of Henry 0. Havemeyer, the many-time New York millionaire. the al- leged recusant sugar trust witness, was re- armed before Judge Bradley in Criminal Court No. 2 this morning. the attendance being by far the largest during the trial. When the curtain went up for another act In the great drama of the 'nited States versus the Sugar Baron every seat in the house was oecupied and standing reem was at a premium. The court officers had exer- cised the same diligence and discretion in keeping out those who had no good eseume for going in. but even so the audience was quite as large as It was yesterday. From a dramatic point of view the morn- ing was rather bare ot incident. Were the show to be taken on the road a number of material changes would have to be made before It would be a go. Any dramatic critic In the world would say that there was altogether too much talk in the perform- ance and too little action. The lines were clever, there is no doubt of that, but there was not enough variety. Two of the rival stars had the center of the stage and held It until Judge Bradley gave the signal for ringing down the curtain. District Attorney Davis started his argu- ment In opposition to the motion of the up. Ravemeyer and geeretary 1ee6e. defense immediately upon the opening of court. He talked for just an hour and then Mr. Johnson of the counsel for the defense responded. He bad the closing of the argu- ment, and while he managed to say a good deal and applied himself pretty carefully to what Mr. Davis had said. It took him only about half an hour to say it. As he sat down the hands of the old clock on the wall pointed to 11:30. "Take a recess until I o'clock." said Judge Bradley. one Opiniens. The judge evidently wanted an opportun- ity to consider with care the various points raised by the counsel on bith sides In their arguments on the motion to Instruct the jury to bring in a verdict for the defend- ant-in other words, to take the case out of the jury's hands and .let Mr. Have- meyer go free. It was an important point, and opinions varied greatly as to how the court would dispose of It. "The judge wouldn't dare do it." rearkt- ed one of the special correspondeqts of a New York paper. "And why not?" "Because Havemeyer Is too rich a man. No judge would dare take the responsibility in a cs of such Importance and run the gauntlet of the criticism that would follow." He did not know Judge Bradley. that wan evident. If Judge Bradley was satisfied that the government had failed to make out a case against the defendant he would take the case from the jury without hesitation. regardless of the facet that the defendant is admitted to be one of the richest men in the country. Another New York "staff correspondent" also did not know Judge Bradley. He reip' resents one of the famous "yellowr" jour- nals which will print a picture of anything. The staff correspondent with the air of a Coeusel Oenfee. man who knows that be has hut to put his wises into wordts to have them at- ed, called the judges atten~tion to the honor that would accrue to Washington if his paper's "staff photographer" warn al- lowed to erect his camera In the couat rom during the- prgrs of the trial.

A BIG MAN FOR SPAINThe President's Care in Choosing the

New Minister.

CHOICE TO BE ]ADZ lE EKThe Post Considered One of Great

Importance.

VARIOUS NAMES MENTIONTED

The exclusive announcement in The Starseveral days ago that the President willsoon appoint a new minister' to Spain isstrengthened from the best of sources to-day. Unless something occurs to deter.the appointment will be made next week.The sooner the President can make theappointment the better he will be pleased.He is now trying to find -the man he wantsto fill the bill. The post has been indirectlyoffered to several good men, and the nailesof others have been suggested. Represen-tive Hitt is believed to have declined theappointment.The President wan's a big man for the

pos!tIon-a man. in fact, who is awayabove the place. He must have a man ofthis kind in the emergency which willprobably confront the administration. ThisIs one instance where the President willprobably have to do the asking. Hewouldn't have a man who applies for theplace.The President is going to pick out a man

who under ordinary circumstances wouldpromptly refuse the offer, and put thecase before him as a situation demandinga patriot's services and a patriot's sacri-fices. Under these circumstances, with theprospect of fame and glory as his portion,a good ma- will be induced to take thecerumission and go to Spain to deal withthe Spaniards. The very fact that it is ad-mitted that the President is hunting for aman of the description given corroboratesail that has been said tending to showthat the President is going to play a gamewith Spain that requires tact, brains anddip.omacy. and which may finally end inserious complications. If this prospect didno, loom ahead there would be no occasionto jook for a man broader than the officer-eitires.The assertion that Commissioner Cal-h;n may be picked out is nothing butgosip. Mr. Calhoun's report to the Prest-de nt will necessarily lean to one side ortL.e other. One sido will be offended, aniIt.- appointment would, therefore, be in-a lvi-abi,. In his search for a man the1'..':.ient will havy several things to avoid.Ii- must not get a man whose record isf; -orable to Spain or to Cuba. Spain wouldnot acept a man known to be in sympathya:h the insurgents. The Senate wouldi-.ably not confirm a man who had anyl .*lenciee toward Spain. In this respect,a- in many others. the President is re-lied as having an unusually delica:eI-k.\;hitelaw Reid. who is said to have been

asked to go to the queen's jubilee as a spe-cial arnbassad!or from this country, was atth White House today In conference withtih. President. It is understood that hisname has been suggested for the Spanishnr-sioni to the Presilent. A tender may orm.y not have been made today.-\A-Minister to Germany John A. Kas'son has been spoken of. and some of hisfri nds speak highly of his qualifications.Sir e mention was made of ex-Senator Ed-munds a number of letters have gone totIh White House urging his appointment.but the fact that Judge Edmunds is looked?sen as pro-Spanish in his views is operat-ing against him, and It is unlikely that heha.; be-n even indirectly sounded from theWhite House.

May le Raised to an Embasy.Addttiona! gossip on the subject is that

the Presidnt contemplates conferring therark of ambassador upon the man henominates to Spain. It is said that therehas been an informal exchange of viewsbetween the United States and Spain, Inwhich the latter is agrreable to the am-b.a'salorship idea.

THE PASTOR DISMISSED

LeterU Written by Rev. L G. Harims toMr. a..o

System of Deeeption-Action of the

Church Last Night- Amount

,e Lee..

Mr. W. L. Bruen, who, as stated in yes-terday's Star, is a heavy financial loser bythe peculiar transactions of Rev. A. G.Harrison, the pastor of the People's Tab-ernacle, was not, he said, up to a late hourtoday, able to form an idea with any ex-actness what would be the limit of hislose'c from that cause.Several more bills, which in the aggre-

gate amounted to between $200 and S300,and which Mr. Bruen thought had beenpaid by Harrison, reached Mr. Bruen to-day, and he at once assumed the responsi-bility for thzir payment.The fact alo came to the surface today

that several months -.go Mr. Bruen gaveHarrison a check for $7.-M to pay a debt onwhat is known as Grace Chapel, GoodHope. and another for $4) to settle a claimagainst a church at Landover, the moneyfor both of which were. it is s-id, drawn byHarrison and appropriatel to his own tuse.The history of the building of Grace

Chapel illustrates the remaraoly succets-ful efforts of Harrison in ingratiatrig him-self with church people.

Building Churches.Referring to this, Mr. Bruen said to a

Star reporter:"In September, 18-), Harrison suggested

to the people residing on Bowen road at apcint where out-of-door meetings were thenbeing held that they should erect a church.He accordingly Interested John H. Pierce,James F. Pierce, George E. Pierce, John T.Gibson, John T. Smith, Geo. E. Smith andBenjamin A. Smith In his building scheme,and Harrison took the responsibility oferecting the church. Accordingly, John H.Pierce was induced by Harrison to mort-gage his farm for $2,200. With this moneythe church was erected, and Harrisonpledged himself to pay back the money toMr. Pierce in twelve months, and gave aguarantee to Mr. Pierce that he would notlose his home. In November, 185, Harri-son, representing that he held the title tothe church himself, and that he had suc-ceeded in paying off all the church indebt-edr.ess except a balance of $750, procuredthat sum from me. Since the church hasbeen completed the community has re-funded to John H. Pierce $80m), so that thedebt upon the Pierce farm is now $1,400."Harrison made me similar representa-tions respecting a church which he built atLandover. that he held the title to thechurch himself, that all the indebtednesshad been paid thereon except $401, andHarrison procured that sum also from meon October 28, last."Mr. James F. Pierce, brother of Mr.John H. Pierce, above mentioned, called

upon Mr. Bruen in regard to the affairs ofGrace Chapel today. Mr. Bruen told Mr.Pierce that he did not care, being all atsea as to the extent of his own losses byHarrison, to assume any further obliga-tions at present. but intimated tha-t therewas no need for his brother to feel anyanxiety for fear he and his family mightlose their hc:ne as the result of Mr.Pierce's efforts in behalf of the church.Mr. Bruen, in speaking of the bills whichHarrison could have avoided paying any-thing on from the money he furnished him,said he regarded it very strange that onMay 8 last Harrison paid to J. H. D.Smoot & Co., lumber dealers, on accountof their lumber bill of V2,719.05, the sumof 3888.20.

An Explanation."I would like to state to the community

through The Star," said Mr. Bruen, "howHarrison laid the foundation of the meansby which he has succeeded in swindlingme. When Rev. David Wilson. the pastorof the church of which the People's Taber-nacle is the successor, died, which 'was lastfall, I was in Chicago, attending a conven-tion. During nmy stay in that city I re-ceived a letter from Harrison, a copy ofwhich was as follows:" 'Brother Wilson sent for me in his dyinghour and requested me to take charge of

his church, for he believed that you wouldhelp me to preach in the church. I prom-ised him that I, with God's blessing andyour assistance and his dying prayers forme, would do the best I possibly could.His last words were for the Lord's blessingupon you for what you have done for him.I told him to rest in peace, for I knew thatyou would do what was right, and wewould hold his congregation together. Healso requested that we hold a revival in hischurch after his funeral. I promised thatafter you came home we would. Five menof the council by which the church is gov-erned came to see me today, requesting met, take charge of the church. I told themtMat I will see you and get your advice.Kindly write to me ana tell me just whatto do. I will do all I can. The funeralwill take place tomorrow at 2 p.m. Broth-er Wilson requested me to preach his fu-neral sermon and take charge of the fu-neral, which I have done. We have thechurch at Merritield weatherboarded, andall goes fine there. Pray for me, that theblessing of God may rest upon me, dearBrother Bruen, for I know that God willanswer your Drayer.

"'Your brother in the work,(Signed) "'A. G. HARRISON."'P.S.-I will get Brother Snale to takethe church at Landover, Md.""Dr. Wilson," continued Mr. Bruen, "was

a dear friend of mine, and I felt it myduty to do all I could to comply with hiddying wishes, for I did not doubt that Har.rison wrote me the truth."The next day, and vwhile considering the

matter, I received a second letter fromHarrison, as follows:" 'Dear Brother: Take me in your hands

and do as you see beat for the most good-rif to preach at Faith Chapel or at Wlsaon'r.church, or at your new chapel. Bruen'sChapel, or to go to a mission, or to visitthe poor and bring the gospel to them intheir homes, or to go on the gospel wagon-anything for God that you see best. Ifyou will be the head, I will do the worldyou see best to be done. Truly your brotherin the work.'"As the result Harrison gained my im-

plicit confidence, with the further resultthat ihave been the victim of gross fraudand embezzlement."At the meeting of the church council

held in the church last evening the lettersabove quoted were read to Mr. Wilson, ason of the former minister, and Mr. Wilsontoi~t me that all the alleged conversationsbetween his father and Harrison were-false; that his father certainly would havetold him if Harrison had been the man ofhis choIce, as his father told him every-thing relating to the matters of the church,and he never heard Harrison's 'name men-tioned in such connection."

Chureh Action.After the adjournment of the council

last night the following written statemnentwas furnished by Mr Bruen to the repre-sentative of The Star:"The coun-il of The People's Tabernacle

at their called meeting in the church onWednesday night formally dismissed Stev.A. G. Harrison from the pastorate andfrom all conrnection with the ahurch on ac-count of gross fraud and embalement"The house No. '6S 1th atreet southeast,

R CAiLL AFR Al APPOINTET

Coming Selection of a Minister to

Norway-Sweden.PRESIDENT'S SOUTHERN TRIP

Vice President Hobart and Senator Plattof New York had an early conference withthe President on what the New York sen-ator described as "legislative matters."The tariff was the subject of. the confer-ence. Senator Wilson, another member ofthe committee appointed yesterday, alsocalled upon the President.Ex-Senator Call of Florida was at the

White House today to see the President,but because of the latter's engagements,did not remain. saying he would call again.Mr. Call has now entered the contest fora place on the Dawes commission. Hewants to become one of the democraticmembers of this commission. His petitionhas been signed by a number of his formercolleagues in the Senate.They are expected to see the President in

his behalf, but in the meantime Mr. Callwill keep his eyes open in his own behalf.The next republican who goes on the com-mission will be Thomas Needles of Illinois.

Pennsylvania Matters.Senator Penrose and Representative Bing-ham of Pennsylvania had a talk with thePresident today about Pennsylvania mat-ters they are interested in. -Senators Pen-rose and Quay have withdrawn the applU-cation of J. B. Raymond of Altoona for a

consulship in Hayti, and have entered hisname for dcputy auditorship or someequally good place at home. Raymond Isone of the brightest colored republicans inPennsylvania.~fe is an alderman at Altoona, and was

a delegate to the St. Louis convention.Minister to Norway-Sweden.

There is no doubt, it is said by Mainemen, that W. W. Thomas will receive theappointn.ent of min!ster to Norway andSweden. The only miscalculation made bythe friends of Mr. Thomas was that theappointment would have been made be-fore this. The appointment is held up toallow Mr. Ferguson, the democrat holdingthe place, to remain some time longer.In the last campaign Mr. Ferguson left

his post and came to this country to speakin behalf of McKinley. He is said to havedc.ne good work, for which the Presidentdoes not desire to fill his place for sometime.Representative Evans of Kentucky pre-

sented Charles D.

TO REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY.

Whitelaw Reid May Be Chosen-NoActual Proffer Yet Made.

The President has still under considera-tion the question of representation of theUnited States at the queen's jubilee nextmonth. He has already provided forthe representation of the army by MajorGeneral Miles and of the navy by Ad-miral Miller, and the question thatremains to be settled is whether or

not a special civilian ambassador shallbe appointed in addition, or whether Am-bassador Hay shall, with the aid of a setof special credentials, be allowed to actfor his government. The precedents ofthe department and the inclination of theofficials are in favor of the latter course,but it appears that most of the great pow-ers of the world will serd special ambas-sadors to do extraordinary honor to hermajesty, so that it may be that ratherthan stand apart in this matter and appearto be lacking in consideration the Presidentwill probably conform to the general rule.In this case the name he has under con-sideration is that of Mr. Whitelaw Reid ofNew York, although it is said at the StateDepartment that no actual proffer of thehonor to Mr. leid has yet been made.

GREAT CROWD ATTENDS

ROME, May 27.-The canonization todayof the Bloomed Zaccaria, founder of theOrder of Barnabites, and of the BlessedFourier De Mataincour, surnamed theApostle of Lorraine, was the most impres-sive ceremony witnessed at St. Peter'ssince the abolition of the temporal bowerof the popes, the only difference in thismorning's ceremonial and those which oc-curred under the sovereignty of the popesbeing that the external gates of St. Peter'swere closed and that tickets of admissionto the cathedral had to be obtained.The huge Basilica was thronged. Accord-

ing to estimates 40,000 persons were prt.s-ent. The approaches to the church werelined by Italian troops. Inside the build-ing were the pontifical gendarmes and theSwiss pontifical guards. Young men be-longing to the different Catholic societies,under the direction of the pontifical cham-berlains, acted as ushers.

Crowds Began Coming Early.From as early as 6 o'clock in the morn-

ing a stream of carriages and pedestriansset In toward the Basilica, and by 8 o'clozkSt. Peter's was crowded. Its interior was

aglow with the lights of thousands ofcandles, which a force of 300 lay brothersccimmenced lighting at the apeol, wherethe pontifical throne, surmounted by animmense picture of the Holy Trinity, wassurrounded by banners, depicting the mir-acles wrought by the Blessed Zaccaria andthe Bles.sed Fourier. Soon after S o'clockthe strains of the "Ave Maria" heraldedthe approach )f the inaugural processionfrom the Sistine Chapel. It 'vas headedby representatives of the Mendicant andMonastic orders, and was typical of theentire ecclesiastical orders, from the stu-dent.; to the prelates, patriarzis and car-dinals, culminating in the venera:le fig..reofsthe supreme pontiff, Leo XIII, borne onthe sodia gestatoria, attended by he bear-ers of the trad!tional fiabel!i. His holinesswore the pontifical tiara; In his left handhe carried a lighted candle, and with hisright hand he blessed the people whiletraversing the nave.The procession halted at the altar of the

blessed sacrament to permit of the popemaking adoration. Then, after tne pontifi-cal noble guard had presented arms, hisholiness proceeded to the apse and seatedhimself upon the throne, on the steps ofwhich were grouped twelve assistant arch-bishops and bishops.

Obeisance to the Pope.The assembled dignitaries of the church

*Wsne the customary obeisance to the pon-tiff, tire cardinals kissing his I I and re-

ceiving the accolade, the bishops kissinghis hand and knee, and the minor prelateskissing his feet. This ceremony completedthe dignitaries of the church took theirplaces An the stalls. The side seats of theaie were occupied by the princes andpatricians of Rome, the Knights af Maltaand the members of the diplomatic corps.The ceremony of canonization followed.

It was divided into three parts, namely.the request of the pope to grant the canon-isation, the proclamation canonizing theblessed Zaccaria and the blessed Four-ier and the pontifical mass.Cardinal Gaetnao Aloisi-Masella, prefect

of the congregation of sacred rites, the ad-vocates of the cause of canonizing, for-mally demanded that the blessed Zaccariaand the Blessed Fourier be Inscribed onthe roll of saints, making the demandthrice, instanter, instantius and instantis-simo.After the first request the pope intoned

the litany of the saints. After the secondrequest his holiness intoned the "vini cre-ator." After the third request his holiness,wearing the mitre of doctor of the church,proclaimed the new saints. The pope thenauthorized the official act of proclamationand afterward intoned the "te deum," Inwhich the entire congregation joined. Atthe same time the bells 0t the Vatican andof the Basilica pealed and they set ringingthe bells of all churches In Rome.Mass Celebrated After Canounmation.The canonization being completed, Cardi-

nal Luig Orogli Di Santo Stefano, dean ofthe Sacred College and Camerlengo of theHoly Roman Church, celebrated mass. Theoffertory followed, at which special gifts,emblematic of the canonization, were pre-sented to the pope. They included five col-ored, decorated candles, two loaves of ureademblazoned with the arms of Leo XII1 ingold and silver, two casks, one gilded andcontaining wine and the other silvered andcontaining water, and three cages. In thefirst cage were turtle doves, in the secondwere rock doves, and In the third weresmaller birds, all symbo of the virtuesof the blessed ZaccariadW the blessedFourier, whose names had just been in-atcribed upon the hagiological calendar,The music of the mass was Chanted bythe choir of the Sistine Chapel, and at the

moment of the elevation, the famous asivertrumpets played a prelude to a chorus byseveral hundred children stationed in thegallery of the dome, The effect of thechildish voices descending from the greatheight was very beautiful.After mass the procession returned to theVatican in the same order as it came, andsubsequently the great gates of St. Peterswere opened in order to permit the generalpublic to view the decorations,

Not Gulty.EID OF 351R II11'3 TRIAL

Taken From Jury on Motion ofthe Defense.

MR. SEARLES TOMORROW

The third. and In the opinion of not afew members of the local bar, the list dayof the trial of Henry 0. Havemeyer, themany-time New York millionaire. the al-leged recusant sugar trust witness, was re-armed before Judge Bradley in CriminalCourt No. 2 this morning. the attendancebeing by far the largest during the trial.When the curtain went up for another

act In the great drama of the 'nited Statesversus the Sugar Baron every seat in thehouse was oecupied and standing reem wasat a premium. The court officers had exer-cised the same diligence and discretion inkeeping out those who had no good eseumefor going in. but even so the audience wasquite as large as It was yesterday.From a dramatic point of view the morn-

ing was rather bare ot incident. Were theshow to be taken on the road a number ofmaterial changes would have to be madebefore It would be a go. Any dramaticcritic In the world would say that there wasaltogether too much talk in the perform-ance and too little action. The lines wereclever, there is no doubt of that, but therewas not enough variety. Two of the rivalstars had the center of the stage and heldIt until Judge Bradley gave the signal forringing down the curtain.District Attorney Davis started his argu-

ment In opposition to the motion of the

up. Ravemeyer and geeretary 1ee6e.defense immediately upon the opening ofcourt. He talked for just an hour and thenMr. Johnson of the counsel for the defenseresponded. He bad the closing of the argu-ment, and while he managed to say a gooddeal and applied himself pretty carefully towhat Mr. Davis had said. It took him onlyabout half an hour to say it. As he satdown the hands of the old clock on the wallpointed to 11:30."Take a recess until I o'clock." said Judge

Bradley.one Opiniens.

The judge evidently wanted an opportun-ity to consider with care the various pointsraised by the counsel on bith sides In theirarguments on the motion to Instruct thejury to bring in a verdict for the defend-ant-in other words, to take the case outof the jury's hands and .let Mr. Have-meyer go free. It was an important point,and opinions varied greatly as to how thecourt would dispose of It.

"The judge wouldn't dare do it." rearkt-ed one of the special correspondeqts of aNew York paper."And why not?""Because Havemeyer Is too rich a man.

No judge would dare take the responsibilityin a cs of such Importance and run thegauntlet of the criticism that would follow."He did not know Judge Bradley. that wan

evident. If Judge Bradley was satisfied thatthe government had failed to make out acase against the defendant he would takethe case from the jury without hesitation.regardless of the facet that the defendantis admitted to be one of the richest menin the country.Another New York "staff correspondent"

also did not know Judge Bradley. He reip'resents one of the famous "yellowr" jour-nals which will print a picture of anything.The staff correspondent with the air of a

Coeusel Oenfee.man who knows that be has hut to puthis wises into wordts to have them at-

ed, called the judges atten~tion to the

honor that would accrue to Washington ifhis paper's "staff photographer" warn al-

lowed to erect his camera In the couat

rom during the- prgrs of the trial. Theajuge. jury, lawyers and all the tent ~Magt

sit perfectly still for a few monamet andnext Sunday fame and glory woul betheirs. Incidentally the whole city wouldglow In their regected light.
