The Dalks Diily Chronick. TIIK DALCKS, OIlKdON I'unornl Swrvlco at MnMer. Abel William, boh of William G. John son and his wife, Hertlia Wehcrg, was taken to his last rest on Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1897. Ho was born on the 2d day of Novem ber, 1896, and after a brief life of 3 months and 19 days, lie died on Fjb. 21st. The kind caro of his parents, combined with the skill of his phyeician, could not prevent his early death, and although his death bronsht much grief to his parents and their many friends, yet they also find much consolation in the sure hope that lie has only preceded them on their journey to a better world. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. L. Grey, of The Dalles, who spoke at the house of Mr. Johnson at 1 p. in. to a large audience, pointing tliem to Mark x:13-16, where Christ speaks of His saving grace as instituted especially ior infants. The music rendered by the Hosier choir was very good, and added much to the impressiveness of the ser vice. As the tuneral train proceeded from the house to the graveyard many others fell in line, so that the audience at the graveyard was quite large. In viow of this, Mr. Grey was requested to speak also at the grave. Taking the words of Christ, "I am the resurrection and the life," as a text, Mr. Grey plainly eluci dated the fact that there can be no truth in the theory of an inate purity of in fants and a salvation for infants apait from Christ, either according to philoso phy or according to divine theology. Sin being the cause and death the effect, it is impossible to admit the effect and at the same time to deny its only cause. Where death is, there sin must be pres ent, not only in theory, but also in real ity, anil in fact prior to death, tor sin is the only cause of death. Mr. Grey fur ther said that from a theological posi tion it is also impossible to support the theory oi sinless purity in infancy with out denying the authority of scripture at the same time. Christ's position, name ly, "That which is born of flesh, is flesh," lias the common consent of all scripture, and it cannot be denied, or converted into any other premise with out denying the very existence of sin as far as scripture is concerned. Fartiier on it robs infants of the merit of Christ's redemption, for, according to his own words, Christ came to save the sinner and not the saint. If infants are pure without Christ, then they evidently have no part in Christ. And finally it denies that in Christ is our only salva tion, for it establishes a salvation apart from Christ. Mr. Grey said that while the Luthera'us abhor the theory of sin less purity in infants, they have a far better and more substantial basis for in fant salvation, namely, the redempticn through the blood of Christ. Christ has died for infants, and in his redeeming grace we may rest our faith and hope with absolute certainty. The service has made a deep impression on the audience and they are now looking for waid to the time when Mr. Grey will favor them with a service in their house of worship. L. Dili You Ever.

Htnto IoHrtinotit lino Nnltlior Granted Nor lltfuel Ills Demand. New Yoiik, Feb. 23. A World special from Havana says: The statu department refuses to an swer General Lee's cabled qm-ition whether or not it will sustain hw de mands that Spanish outrages upon Americans cease ond that the liberty and treaty rights of citizens of the United States be respected by the Spanish au thorities. Ruiz was kept incommunicado thir teen days before he, was killed. To pre vent Scott being secretly murdered Gen tral Lee demanded of General Ahumada on Friday that Scott be brought out of close confinement and allowed to see his friends. This was not done by Saturday, and General Leo cabled to Secretary Olney the facts, asking him how many warships were on tho Florida coast, and if one would be sent hero in case it became necessary to enforce a demand. Not one word in reply to tho question has come from Washington up to Wednesday, four days after the state de partuient had been asked by the consul general in an emergency if he could rely upon his government fully sustaining him in protecting the citizens of his country. The Spanish authorities do not in the least respect treaty stipulations that no American prisoner must be kept in soli tary confinement more than live days, and must be acquainted witli the charge against him within twenty-four hours. Iso American prisoner ever was brought out of solitarv confinement in a dark cell within the time specified. The American colony is bordering on a panic, now that there is no hope of protection from the government at Washington unless congress compels it to send a fleet immediately.
