PREPARED BY
New York, June 30. The Rev. R. C
Fillingham, vicar of Helton, England
Apostle of anti-ritualism, who will sail
for England today sent another letter
to Bishop Henry C. Potter. In which he
Bays:
"I hud no Idea of making a commo
tion In this city. Traveling for rest,
attended public worship, not tlje wor
ship of God, but of a senseless bun, at
the church of St. Mary the Virgin on
Sunday week, and I felt compelled to
call your attention and Unit of the pub
lie, to the Idolatry of which I am the
witness. Your reply was not worthy
of a Christian or a genlemun and I
have no doubt but tht by this time
you are heartily ashamed of It. For
my part. I condone a letter evidently
written In a moment of hot-headed pn
sum. . ' . .
I am if God spares me, to return to
this country early In the new year
and conduct a campaign iigainst moi
atrv here and In othef cities of the
United States. My American friends
do not rejfard me as an Impertinent in
terloper, but are glad to Join hands
with pne of the Anglo-Saxon race from
whichever side of the oceun he may
happen to come.
"I wish to remind you or one tntng
before I leave. When you were con
secrated to the high office of bishop,
you were asked: "Are you ready with
all faithful dlllgnce to banish and' drive
awav from .he church all erroneous
and stnlnge doctrines contrary to God's
word, and both privately and openly
to call upon and encourage others to
the same?" Solemnly, In the presence
of God and the congregation, at the
most serious moment of your life, you
replied: I am ready, the Lord being
my helper.'
"X niM'slv want to ask you now, was
that a lie . r tho truth? Were you ly
ing to God when you were consecrated
btahon of New York? You Know as
well as I do thpt the blasphemous mem
oirs the mass and the bun worship are
held by our common church to be er.
roneus and strange doctrine.' Will you
do what you promised, calling on God
to help you, or will you not?
"That Is all I have to ask you. I
hope the American people will flnr by
your answer that you are a true man,
a man resolved to do Wa duty and keep
his word." ,

Colonel Rochfort adds that the Abys
sinian forces actually closed to the Mul
lah all the watering places south of the
Gerlougubl-Galadi line, and he hopes
they will soon be In contact with the
British forces and' thus be able to coop
erate In the pursuit of the Mullah, who
Is delayed In his movements by the fact
tftat he Is crossing a waterless part of
the country. The colonel's dispatch Is
