Itecord Attcnilnncc for an Opening;
Dny-Tlic Winners.
NBW YORK, Nov. 19. The sixteenth
annual exhibition of the National Horse
Show Association began today In Madi-eon-Square
Garden, and there were many
groups of fashionably dressed men and
cornea there to greet the occasion. Nev
er was a horse show opened under more
auspicious circumstances, never one that
promised so great a crush during the
week as title The animals that will be
shown are the finest in the counto.
nnd the people who will flock to the Gar
den during the week will represent so
ciety, not only of New York, but of many
other cities in the East.
The beginning of the show this morning
was without great pomp. It consisted
merely In raising an orange flag with a
black horse In the center, the official de
vice of the association, on the main flag
staff of the Garden, and sounding a trum
pet within announcing to exhibitors' that
within 4 minutes they might exerciso
their horses la the ring. Before the
echoes of the trumpet blast had died
away, the ring was alive with hunters
and jumpers scheduled to be Judged later
on.
Gorgeous in its many trappings of yel
low and black, the time-honored colors of
the association, and its myriad lights, the
Garden was a delight to the eje. As
the day grew on, the crowds Increased
until they promised to break all first-day
attendance records. Brilliant costumes
were conspicuous Among the occupants
cf the arena boxes today were: Mrs. Clar

A NEW TRIRLE ALLIANCE.
Russian Plan for Substituting Aus
tria for Italy.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 13. One of
the most cherished ideas of the Pan
SIaic publicist is to detach Italy from
the Triple Alliance, and a writer in Ros
syla, one of the newer of the St Peters
burg Journals, proposes to accomplish
this and to overcome the Influence of
Austria in the Balkans at one stroke.
He suggests that Russia shall put Italy
In the way of securing a foothold, or,
perhaps, een dominant Influence in Al
bania. The editor of the Rossjln. finds
that this idea has its disadvantages. The
plan, he thinks, however, might be made
acceptable if Russia had U deal with
one Italy only the Quirinal and political
Italy. But there is another Italy to be
reckoned with the Vatican and Catholic
Italy, the ancient enemies of the ortho
dox Greek church.
The Ross j la thinks It sees indications
of a possible reconstruction of the Triple
Alliance with England in the place of
Austria. It notes evidences of coolness
between the courts df Rome and Vienna,
and attaches great significance to the
forthcoming visit of the young King of
Italy to England, among other countries.
The result may be transformation of Anglo-German
agreements regarding China
and Africa into a formal alliance. Into
which Italy will be taken on account ot
her position in the Mediterranean. Aus
tria will be Isolated. The natural result
would be that Russia would have much
easier sailing in the Balkans. This con
clusion, no doubt, explains the Rossyia's
article. It Is the wish, not the fact, that
fathers this thought.
TweUe new sugar refineries will be
opened in Russia next season.' Warsaw
newspapers report that the agents of the
United States are buying sugar beet seed
in Oland. This seed will be given a. trial
at the agricultural stations in the United
States. Such seed has previously been
obtained principally from France.

that the British steamer Tobago had been

cort, to Buena Ventura. It is added that
the British Consul at Panama had asked
his government for a war easel. Con
firmation of the reports, however, were
lacking, and it was asserted that the Brit

ASSAULT ON PAPACY
Church of Rome Denounced
by Methodist Clergymen.
AT MISSION COMMITTEE MEETING
What Protestantism Has to Contend
With in Southern. Europe and
Latin. America.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19 Two fierce on
slaughts on the Church of Rome enliv
ened the proceedings at today's session
of the General Missionary Committee. On
each occasion an audience which filled
every part of the large auditorium in St.
Paul s Methodist Episcopal Church,
where the committee Is meeting, broke
Into applause, and no effort was made
by the chairman to check these demon
staratlons of approval.
The general committee, which is com
posed of all the bishops and leading min
isters in the Methodist Church of Amer
ica, has been in session dally Blnce
Wednesday. Upon several occasions dur
ing former sessions, when reference had
been made to anything pertaining to the
Roman Catholic Church, the same spirit
of defiance has been apparent. Upon no
former occasion, however, has that
church been denounced In terms so un
qualified, nor has the approval of the au
dience been given ven.t in so vigorous
applause.
The first person to advance to. the at
tack was Bishop Goodsell, of Tennessee.
In the course of an address on the work
pf the Methodist Episcopal Church in
various parts of Europe, he had occasion
to speak of the work done in Italy and
the conditions there. It was In the recital
of the latter that the bishop used sufi
strong language against the Church of
Rome.
"In Northern Europe, for instance, in
Germany and the Scandinavian coun
tries," the bishop said, "we have made
satisfactory progress, though we have
a great deal of Indifference and even op
position to contend with. Statistics show
that we have made as much headway
during the first 35 years in Europe as we
have in the same period la this country,
which offers a more congenial soil for our
record.
"In Southern Europe the conditions are
somewhat different. There the struggle
has been harder. There are many who
doubt whether we have done any work
at all in Italy, the land of superstition
and priestcraft; whether we could ever
hope to accomplish anything there, in the
face of the tremendous press of adverse
thought with which we are confronted.
The fact is that we sent one of our work
ers into Italy. He soon made up his mind
that In Rome we had to do as do the
Romans. He began by training the
young, by taking them into our schqols
and seminaries. The work is slow, but its
value has been recently testified to by
the pontiff himself, who has honored us
by excommunicating every one, teachers
and pupllo alike, connected'wlth our In
stitutions of learning. In his effort to
preserve for himself the triple crown of
papacy, h has issued a sweeping inter
diction against the schools and every one
passing through their gates. This, how
ever, has only made us more determined
to wipe out a system which has created
out of a former man of empire a cringing
beggar with a monkey and a grind or
gan." The applause which greeted this sally
was deafening.
Tho next speaker threw down the gaunt
let to the Church of Rome In terms as di
rect and condemnatory as did Bishop
Goodsell. This was Rev. Dr. C. W. Dree3,
who for a number of years has been iden
tified with the work of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in South America, and
was appointed by the committee to take
over the supervision of the work among
the Spanish-speaking nations on this con
tinent. Besides Bishop Goodsell, he Is the
only member of the committee who, In
the course of his labor, has come in direct
contact with the work of the Roman
Catholic Church. In beginning his ad
dress. Dr. Drees made reference to the
end of Spanish rule in this hemisphere,
and was roundly applauded. He said:
"It was wise of the chairman to call tho
subject on which I am to speak the work
among the Spanish-Speaking inhabitants
of America. Happily, there is no longer
a Spanish America. The last vestige of
Spanish domination in this hemisphere
disappeared when the old Spanish battle
ship, Maria Theresa, In being towed to
this country after having been wrecked
by our guns, laid her bones to rest on the
sapds of the Island which was the first
American territory discovered.
"A former speaker has said that a con
dition, where half of the world is pagan
and the other half Christian cannot long
endure. The same can be said with as
much truth of a state of affairs where
Christendom Is divided into two great
camps with Protestantism on one hand
and Greek and Roman Catholicism on
the other. The time is upon us when
anew the questions which appeared in the
Protestant reformation will begin to agi
tate the world and demand to be pushed
to their final issue. After slumbering for
four centuries, these self-same questions
were awakened through the last act of
Infamy of the. pontiff in declaring himself
infallible. Within 24 hours after that
blasphemous declaration had been written
on the triple crown of Rome the Prussian
armies Invaded Catholic France. Forty
five days later the battle of Sedan was
fought, with Protestant Prussia the vic
tor, and 20 days only had" elapsed when
the united armies entered the 'holy city
where the pope held sway, bringing with
them carloads of Bibles. The pope lost
his temporal power, and since that day
the creed has been weakening.
"The Roman Church at one time held
sway everywhere, but now both that
church and Spanish domination have
fallen off their high pedestals. When
Spain Is arraigned the Catholic church
should be arraigned with that power as
co-respondent Ever since Isabella signed
away the liberty of Spain to the popo
there has been an Illegitimate alliance
between statecraft and priestcraft against
human liberty and human progress."
The applause which followed this sally
was as tremendous as it was spontane
ous. Dr. Drees said in conclusion that
the most promlslng-field among the Spanish-speaking
population in America was
ripening in Porto Rico, and advised the
committee to spare neither expense nor
labor to oust Rome from that island.
Bishop Hartsell spoke on Africa, which
Is his field. He said in part:
"We stand today in the face of a revolt
of the pagan world against Christian, civ
ilization. In the far East Mohammedan
ism is" outnumbering the Christian relig
ion In the number of adherents. China
has Just slammed her door in the face of
Christianity. Only a few days ago her
representative stood in Carnegie Institute,
in Pittsburg, and boldly threw down the
gauntlet to Christian culture in behalf of
the ancient civilization of his people.
Half the world Is pagan, the other half
Christian, and our zeal and labor In the
first year of a coming century will decide
whether wo shall win. or whether the j
Christian faith shall be deluged by pagan
Ism and He burled for centuries."
"The gravest problem confronting us in
Africa Is the native question. The best
statesmen in Europe are at present solv
ing that question, and the humane tend
ency of their work is gratifying."
Rev. Dr. Oldham reIewed the various
perplexing questions Involving the domes
tic missions The chief among these, he
said, was the poverty and lack of thrift
which had become the heritage of a
great portion of the population in great
cities, and the Indifference and even the
defiance met with in the camps of labor,
where the church was thought to be In
conspiracy with the rich to keep the
warkingman down. This was only to be
overcome by teaching the churches in the
cities that the whole city Is the ward
of each individual church.
Bishop Thoburn spoke of the work in
Southern Asia, and Bishop Cranston of
the Eastern portion of that continent
The laKer pronounced Corea perhaps the
most promising missionary field in the
world. In Japan, progress Is hindered by
the rationalistic teaching In the schools,
but the bishop -said the field was, never
theless, a promising one.
BALTIMORE & OHIO ELECTION

Directory
BALTIMORE, Nor. 19. Much specula
tion was indulged in today as tq the
significance attached to the changes made
in. the directorate of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad at its annual meeting to
day. Captain John P. Green, first vice
president of the Pennsylvania Company;
Charles H. Tweed, chairman of the board
and second vice-president of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and Martin Erdman, of
New York, were elected directors in the
places of J. Kennedy Todd, of New Yorjc;
Henry Clay Pierce, of St Louis, and
Alex Brown, of Baltimore. The full list
of directors elected follows:
Edward R. Bacon, Martin Erdman, John
P. Green, Edward H. Harrlmanr J. J.
Hill, Sutherland M. Provost, Norman B.
Ream, William Salomon, Jacob H. Bchlff.
Charles Steele, James Stillman and
Charles H. Tweed.
By the election of Captain Green, the
Pennsylvania representation in the Balti
more & Ohio directorate is increased to
two, the other representative of the Bal
timore & Ohio's big competitor being
Third Vice-President S. M. Provost In
the person of Mr. Tweed, the Southern
Pacific Railway obtains an important rep.
resentatlon In Baltimore & Ohio affairs.
He is closely allied with the firm of
Speyer & Co., which financed the reorgan
ization of the Baltimore & Ohio, as is also
Mr. Erdman. Of the old directors, Mr.
Harrlman is not only a director in the
Southern Pacific board, but he is also
chairman of the board of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and
president of the Oregon Short Line Rail
way. Mr. Hill is president of the Great
Northern.
No Marylanders are now left in the
Baltimore & Ohio board, except the two
Official representatives of the state, who
are ex-Senator Arthur P. Gorman and U.
Baughman.
It was stated after the meeting that
the only business transacted besides the
election of directors was the discussion
of the annual report, which has already
been published. William Salomon, chair
man of the board, who presided at the
meeting, declined to discu8s4he signifi
cance of the entrance of another Penn-
i.sylvanl6. official into the Baltimore &
Ohio board, but it is understood tnat ,ne
presence of both Mr. Green and Mr. Pro
vost means that the two systems will
work together in harmony and that rate
wars are practically things of the past.

BERLIN, Nov. 19. Tho Relchsanzelger
(official), publishes the text of a telegram
of the Emperor of China dated November
14, in reply to Emperor William's telegram
of September 30, in which the former
promises to inflict severe punishment on
the authorities who were accomplices of
the murderers of Baron von Ketteler, the
German Minister, and expresses the hope
that friendly relations will soon be re-established.
He also declares that so soon

sired point he will fix a time for his re
turn to Pekln. His Chinese Majesty adds
that the protection of the Christian mis
sions will be especially and strictly en
Joined on all the provinclol authorities.
In the Reichstag today, oh the occasion
of the presentation of the supplementary
credit for China, Count von Bulow, the
Imperial Chancellor, emphatically denied
the assertion frequently made abroad that
the China imbroglio was traceable to the
German occupation of Kiao Chou. This
statement was greeted by the Socialist
Democrats with loud cries of "It is quite
true," Count von Bulow expressed
keen regret that such a cry was
heard in the German Parliament
The Chancellor further declared he
did) not wish at present to say
anything which might be against the con
cert of the powers In China, but he felt
the need of putting himself in touch with
the Nation. Germany, he explained, had
adhered to the alms and policy outlined In
the circular to the allied governments. The
allegation that the governments had not
foreseen the Chinese crisis was true. But
most ofrhe other Nations likewise failed
to anticipate that the storm in the far
East would burst so violently so soon.
"But," added Count von Bulow, "the
signs did not escape us. We directed the
attention of the other Cabinets repeatedly
to these signs. We agreed that every
thing our representative In China- de
scribed necessary to take a measure of
precaution and dispatched a force, of
fering more than asked for. I wish to re
proach no one, least of all Baron ovn Ket
teler, who in endeavoring most earnestly
in the fulfillment of his duty to bring the
Chinese authorities to reason, went almost
without fear to his death, worthy of the
land he represented ana the name he
bore."
This statement caused loud applause.
(Reverting to the Kiao Chou allegation,
Count von Bulow recapitulated the pre
vious territorial acquisitions and expedi
tions of other powers in China, adding:
"We, with proverbial modesty, restrained
ourselves longest of all the powers, even
until the massacre of our missionaries in
Shan Tung."
"We first acted In China by force of
circumstances and then in such a way
that peace was affected neither directly
nor Indirectly. Our presence at Kiao Chou
'is based on a treaty witii CWna in accord
with international law. We have always
shown a friendly and benevolent disposi
tion towards China and demonstrated this
especially in 1895 when China was at the
mercy of the victorious Japanese. We
have no desire to interfere with the in
terests of the other powers in China. We
wish to protect our rights to the fullest
degree. Our position there is one of le
gitimate defense,
"Tho miserable Chinese administration,
which permitted the Boxer movement to
in irmund. observed toward the Minis
ters an attitude of equivocation and in
action, violated the rights of nations and
the dignity of the German people by al
lowing the outrageous murder of Baron
tod Ketteler and did the utmost in the
intercourse with the Ministers to put off
matters by all subterfuges and palpable
falsehoods. In the face of such an at
titude we had to take the necessary
measures for the protection of our rights
and the defense of our honor. The other
powers were in the same position and
all civilized people alike were compelled
to act in self-defense.
"A dispassionate observer cannot doubt
that the recent movement is traced nelth
ed to Kiao Chou, Hong Kong, Tonquin or
Port Arthur. It is directed against Euro
pean civilization, with which Japan has
thrown in her lot What Germany desires
Is not a political adventure but the as
sertion of our interests, our rights and
our toonor as a great people. We are
waging no war of conquest on China. We
only wish for atonement for China's mis
deeds and a guarantee of reforms. We
especlally desire atonement since other
wise such things might occur again. We
desire that the Influence accruing to Ger
many in the present movement shall be
preserved to her. We desire our share
In what is to be won from China. Wo
will not overreach any one and we will
not let any one overreach us. We have
nothing to gain by a partition of China
and we do not desire it We shall fare
best if China recovers herself so far as
possible under the best ordered adminis
tration obtainable and. remain solvent We
wish to confirm ourselves to our present
position and will not shako China unnec
essarily. We have no reason for going
beyond the convention of August 3, 1S93,
or to strive for territorial acquisitions
which will place a disproportionate strain
upon our resources.
"Neither have we Interest in nailing
ourselves down in China to a definite
stretch of territory. German trade had
spread in China long before we occupied
Kiao Chou. We defend our rights in
peaceful competition therefor with all na
tions on the principle of 'live and let
live. That is the object of the Anglo
German agreement of October 10, the
principles of which the other Cabinets
have declared themselves in agreement
with.
"We assume that the other powers will
not make territorial acquisitions. There
is no ground for doubting thejoyalty of
their declarations. The end set In view
by the circular note, the more urgent
point, the liberation of the Europeans in
Pekln, has been attained. Other highly
important objects remain to be reachea
security of the "lives and property of
foreigners, adequate satisfaction for out
rages, compensation for the disburse
ments made and costs incurred and the
safeguarding of our possessions. For the
attainment of these, unanimous agree
ment has been arrived at by the repre
sentatives of the powers in Pekln, whose
demands I now communicate:
" 'China shall erect a. monument to
Baron von Ketteler on the site where
he was murdered and send an Imperial
Prince to Germany to convey an apology.
She shall inflict the death penalty upon
11 Princes and officials already named,
and suspend provincial examination for
five years where the outrages occurred.
"In future, all officials failing to pre
vent anI-forelgn outrages within their
Jurisdiction shall be dismissed and pun
ished. " 'Indemnity shall be paid to states,
corporations and individuals.
" The Tsung 11 Yamun shall be abol
ished and its functions vested in a For
eign Minister.
" 'Rational intercourse shall be per
mitted with the Emperor, as in civilized
countries.
" 'The forts at Taku and the other forts
on the coast of Chi Li shall be razed, and
the importation of arms and war mate
rials shall be pronlblted. Permanent le
gation guards shall be maintained, and
also guards of communication between
Pekln and the sea.
" 'Imperial proclamations shall be post
ed for two years throughout the empire
suppressing Boxers.
" Indemnity is to Include compensation
for Chinese who suffered through being
employed by foreigners, but not compen
sation for native Christians.
" 'China shall erect expiatory monu
ments in every foreign or Internationa!
burial ground where graves have been
profaned.
(The foregoing conditions have already
been published, but not the following:)
" 'The Chinese Government shall under
take to enter upon negotiations for such
changes in existing treaties regarding
trade and navigation as the foreign gov
ernments deem advisable, and with rei
erence to other matter having in view the
facilitation of commercial relations.'
"It Is impossible to foresee further de
velopments. We shall not allow ourselves
to be led beyond these demands, except by
the interests of civilization, and especially
by thb Interests of Germany. The loyalty
of Germany's policy has been proved by
the fact that the other powers have trans
ferred to us the supreme command in the
province of Chi LL We would willingly
have placed our troops under the supreme
command of any other power. We noti
fied Russia to that effect A desire was
expressed in many quarters to offer the
supreme command to Germany. We could
not be deaf to the call of other powers,
and in accepting the responsibility, we
proclaimed our conviction that Germany's
policy contained nothing which, from the
point of view of the other governments,
could give ground for misgiving. That His
Majesty of Russia whose speedy and
complete recovery we, with all Europe
and the world, desire with all our hearts
that this noble and enlightened sovereign
should before all others put the command
in our hands was recognized by us with
special gratitude. This is a fresh proof
of what I shall always uphold, that be
tween a well-conducted German policy
and a well-conducted Russian poller there
can be no deep and certainly no Invincible
antagonism,
"By dispatching troops to China we
have in no way Impaired our Teadiness
to do battle in Europe. We declare that

Ordered.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19. The Board of
Police Commissioners today ordered,
charges, preferred -against Inspector Adam
A, Cross and Captain John B. Herllhy,
and practically turned them over to tho
mercy of their accusers.
That the two officers are to be proceed
ed against in no lenient manner Is dem
onstrated by the fact that Bishop Potter
has been requested to name a council to
assist in the prosecution, and the further
fact that Edward M. Sheperd and Will
lam K. Ott are to represent tho Police
Board in sustaining the charges.
Inspector Cross will be compelled to
meet the charges of neglect of duty, la
that he permitted the precincts within
his district to reek with Vice, and the
further charge ot conduct unbecoming an
officer. Captain Herlihy is accused of
conduct unbecoming an officer and of neg
lecting to enforce the law in his precinct
Having provided for the prosecution of
Inspector Cross and Captain Herllhy, the
Police Board Informed Mayor Van Wycls
of their action,' and then instructed Presi
dent York to communicate with Bishop
Potter, requesting the latter to place be
fore them any evidence which he may
have against the two accused officers or
against any other member of the police;
force.
After the adjournment of the Police)
Board it Is said a misunderstanding arose;
between Chief of Police Devery and Pres
ident York. At headquarters it was inti
mated that charges of as serious a nature)
as those against Inspector Cross may also
be brought against Chief Devery. Tho
latter has refused to remove Cross oe
Herllhy from duty pending the hearing
of the charges against them, and In doing
this he has Incurred the displeasure of
President York.
The board sent a letter to Bishop Pot
ter, of which the follow ing is a copy:
"Right Rev. H. C. Potter, Bishop of
New York, La Fayette Place Right Rev
erend Sir. The Police Board has, under
the date of the 16th. Inst, received a com
munication from Robert A. van Wyck.
Mayor of the city, transmitting a com
munication from you, dated November 15,
and which communication in part states
as follows:
" The statement now in my possession
of two clergymen of the highest charac
ter contains the testimony of two men.
given without exaggeration, with tho
most painstaking reserve and with abso
lute truthfulness. In substance it ia
briefly this: That when one of them com
plained to a police C&ptaln of a condi
tion of things in his Immediate neigh
borhood, whose disgusting Infamy is a
matter of notoriety a condition of things
easily Verified by anv intelligent citizen
who passes through the streets- on whioa
It exists he was told that he .had lied,
and that when thus disheartened by such
an experience, ho carried his complaint
to a higher authority In tho police force,
ho met with insolent derision.'
"The first knowledge that any member
ot the Police Board hod of this alleged
insult was conveyed in the public prints
of September 23, which reported the pro
ceedings of the Episcopal convention hav
ing reference to this subject The reso
lution adopted by such convention called,
for an Investigation by you, and. if tha
facts Justified it, the presentation of a
suitable report to the Mayor. In view o
this resolution, the Police Board has
awaited tho result of your investigation
and such action as you should deem nee
cssary. The receipt of your communica
tion from the Mayor places the matter
now before the board for its action; and
to the end that proor charges may ba
formulated against the officers comnlalned
of, the reparation of which necessarily
requlrp a specific statement of dates anrt
times of alleged offense, and the persons
against whom the offense was commit
ted, I respectfully request that you cau3e
to be submitted to me. for the use of the
Police Board, the name of the person or
persons sgalpst whom the offense was
committed, the date or dates of its occur
rence, and the language ued, as nearl
as may be. Upon the receipt of such in
formation, charges will be formulated and
preferred against these officers who may
be named. The practice of the police has
been to permit the appearance oj a coun
sel for the parties, making complaints en
the trial had against a member of tho
force. In this caso. however, there la nn
desire that the complaint should be made
by the party to whom the alleged Insult
was given, the Police Board preferrlns
the charges. It will, however, permit
and It most earnestly requesfs, that you
designate some counselor-at-law who will
represent you In the prosecution of this
complaint, and if In his Judgment It is
deemed best the form of complaint
should be drafted by such counsel.
"In reference to the statements con
tained in your communication as to open,
and public violation of law and discipline
in the neighborhood of the pro-Cathedral,
the board has taken action .thereon. I
have the honor to be, very respectfully
yours, BERNARD J. YORK,
"President of the Police Board."
The following resolution was also
adopted:
"Resolved, That the Chief of Police bo
and is directed to cause a rigid enforce
ment of all laws and ordinances through
out the City of New York, and that he
give to the same his personal attention
and insist on a rigid compliance with,
this resolution on the part of every offi
cer in the department, and that he will
adopt such measures as will enable him
to be assured that the requisitions of this
resolution are complied with, and when a
failure to so comply exists, he is required,
to at once prefer charges against the de
linquent persons."
