"The voice of them and of their chief priests prevailed" iv 23). Barabbas was accepted and Chest was rejected. And the sin of Pilate .s daily repeated. God in Geier, is On saintly beiner'judged, and either accept- ed or rejected. There is no neutral ground. Either you belong to Satan or you belong to Christ. Your life Is a daily cry for Barabbas or for Jesus. Bar- abbas represents, Satan. The man they chose instead of Jesus was a robber, a rebel (John xviii. 40), and it murderer, (Mark xv, 7). Satan is a thief (Luke Oa 12); a rebel (Ez. xxviii, 14-17); a liar, a murderer, (John Yin. 44). And now, to -day, you are on the side of the devil. who deceives (Rev. xx. 3, 8, 1» or of Jesus, who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth (1 Peter ii. 22). On the side of the devil that devours (1 Peter v. 8), or of Jesus who came to save that which was lost (Matt. xviii. 111. On the side of the devil that en- snares (1 Tim. iii. 7), or of Jesue who knows how to deliver the godly (2 Pe- ter. ii. 9). On the side of the devil who oppresses with disease (Acts x, 38), or of .Tesus who banself took our infirini. ties and bare our siek-nesses (Matt. viii. 17). On the side of the devil sylie drags down to death and hell (Heb. 14), or of Jesus who died to give you life and heaven (John iii. 16). III. Pilate's condemnation. Pilate list- ened to "the voices" of the wicked pop- ulace, and "delivered Jesus ti their will" (v. 25.) He delivered the Lord of glory to be crucified, to win the favor of an earthly king. But he lost that for whieb he staked his soul. He was soon recalled, disgraced and banished to a. dis- tant land, in direst poverty, where le committed suicide. Similar was the fate of all Mt murderers of Jesus. Judas died it horrible death by his own hand (Matt. xxvii. 5; Acts i. 18.) Caiphas was depos- ed the next year. Annas house was de- stroyed by an infuriate,1 mob, his see dragged thronght the streets, scourged, beaten and murdered. Herod died in in- famy and exile. Some of the impenitent who crucified him, and mane thousands a their children, suffered in the siege of Jerusalem, which stand unparalleled in history for its unutterable horrors. "Woe unto the wicked; it shall be ill with him" (Isaiah iii. 11). Jeusu falsely accused. "Pilate.. said ..I..have found no faulti in this nuut touching those things whereof you accuse him' (vs. xiii. 14.) Christ's whole life was it refutation of the accusation against him. The •disciples were always faiiing. Jesus never failed. The disciples failed in the presence of the dumb devil. Jams east him out (Matt. xvii. 16-18.) The disciples disputed as to wbo should be greatest (Luke xxii. 24.) Jesus took a basin and towel and performed for them all the office of the meanest slave (John xiii. 5. The disciples trembled when the angry waves threatened. Jesus said calmly to the surging billows, "Peace, be still" (Mark iv. 39.) The dis- ciples worried when the children inter- rupted the great Master's teaching: the Master held them in his arms end turned the interruption into a blessing for them (Matt. xi. 13). V. Jesus chastised cruelly. "I will - chastise him" (v. 22.) "Requiring that he might be crucified" (v. 23.) Did you ever think that no man .or meter ever ettffered much mental and physical torture as did Jesus on the long night of his betrayal and throagh the middose darkness of bis crucifixion? Think, if you can, of tbe await agony that forced from his body sweat as it were great drops of blood falling clown to the ground" (Luke XXII- 44.) Think what it was to be forsaken by every friend, even those who had pledged undying allegi- ance to him. -A. C. M. o _* BAVARIAN GIVEN UP. Another Attempt to Float the Steen:ex Yesterday Failed. Quebec, Nov. 10. -Another attempt was made to float the steamer Bavarian this. evening at high tide, but failed, and now it is judgeal the stranded vessel can- not be hauled off Wye Rock unless in parts. The tide was at the highest point it can reach this fall, for the reason that the heavy northeast blow last night and this leaning caused the water to rise more than two feet over its normal height.

Pilate found 'no fault in this man," but instead of iustantly releasing him, "he your religion. and also to the civil peace and the Roman government. -Benson. Having examined --At the first trial he had heard all that could be brought against Him. No fault -They had fail- ed to prove a single charge. It is strict- ly and literally true that Christ was without. fault. 15. Nor yet Herod -Christ had travel- ed extensively in Galilee and yet Herod brings no charge that he had ever At- tempted to raise an insurrection among the Galileons. He sent Him back unto us (R. V.) -This involved a distinct acquittal of our Lord from every politi- cal charge brought against Him. The Jews made three charges, involving the charge of treason, the greatest crime known to Roman law: 1. Sedition. 2. Forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar. 3. Claiming to be a king. The second ebarge was utterly false, while the others were not true in the sense in which they took them. Had He in any way been guilty of these things it would have been Herod's duty and also greatly to his interest to punish Him. His dismissal of the case was a distinct avowal of Christ's inno- cence. Is done unto Him -"Nothing wor- thy of death bath been done by Rm."- R. V. 16. Chastise Him --John says that Pi- late took Jesus and scourged Him; bit tbis was not done till a little later. The evangelists "make it clear that the scourging was inflicted as a separate punishment, in the hope that it would suffice, and not merely as the usual ac- companiment of crucifixion." -Cam. Bib. 'The scourge of leather thongs was load- ed with lead, or armed with spikes and bones, which lacerated the back, chest and face, till the victim sometimes fell down before the judge a bleeding mass of torn flesh.-Ederesbeim. Thus "he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastise- ment of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." And re- lease Him -Pilate hoped that when they saw Jesus scourged they would be sat- isfied, but not so; they were clamoring for His blood, and nothing short of death on a cross would satisfy them. 17. Must release one -This verse is omitted in the Revised Version. But see the parallel accounts. This custom, was in harmony with the nature of the least and, however it originated, was so com- pletely established that Pilate was ob- liged to attend to it. s la The clamors of the Jews (vs. 18-23). 18. They cried ont-The chief priests moved the peolpe (Mark xv. 11); they were like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. Barabbas-An insurrectionists, a robber and a niurderer. He was actually of . worse eriniat than they had charged against Jesus. 19. Sedition -Insurrection. Matthew says he was a. celebrated prisoner. In some manuscripts he is called Jesus Baraabas. "Barabbas was plainly a ringleader in one of those fierce and fanatical oubbreaks against the Roman domination which fast succeeded one an- other he the latter days of the Jewish commonwealth." -Trench. 20. Willing to release eJsus-It was probably at this time, while the people were clamoring for his death so loudly., that the messenger came from Pilate's wife (Matt. xxvii. 19) urging the release of Jesus, and stating that she had just euffered many things in a dream because of Mm. Spake again -Pilate repeated the proposal of verse 16. The original here indicates an eagerness on the part of Pilate to have the people demand his releaee. Cl.

Travelling sales- men send in large orders to leading distrib- uting points, but movement of merchandise Is still retarded by inadequate transporting facilities.

The most striking development of the week was tho unprecedented output ot nie iron in conjunction with large imports and advancing prices, indicatingthe greatdet activityl ever attained by steel mills. Other industrial reports were scarcely less gratify- ing. Northwestern flour mills produce less freely than at this time last year, but state- ments of decreased activity are rare. Bradstreet's on Trade. Montreal. -The movement of wholesale goods here has shown more activity the past week. There is a better sorting de- mana for most lines following on a more active retail trade, which is the result of favorable cool weather. The result hafi been that there has been anunusually good supply of money in circulation among theeworking classes, and it is to be expected this will show up well in the holiday retail trade. As regards this trade orders have been exceedingly heavy and there has been a very noticeable im- provement in the quality of the goods ordered. This is especially noticeable in all branches of the wearing apparel trade. Tit the dry goods trade it is customary just before stock taking commences to make an effort to clear out stocks. As it matter of fact, owing to the nature of the trade Nvhieh has been done there are less stocks now to be cleared up than usual, but a good business has been done in this way recently. Hardware stocks are moving briskly. The demand for pig iron is very active and all metals are firm. Canada plate and bar iron are higher. The demand for groceries is much more.active, with prices generally firm. Toronto. -The finishing touches are being put to the wholesale end of the eolklay trade here. .phipments are large, and they call for a very wide assortment ot goods. Altogether there is every evi- dence that the retailers throughout the eountry are convinced that conditions aro so good as to warrant unusual pre- parations for this trade. In all lines of business there has been rather a better tone during the past week or two. The sorting trade is more active than usual at this time of the year. Dry goods travellers report a very good business on spring lines. The demand for cotton g,00tIS is heavy, retailers realizing that prices may reasonably be expected to move higher in these lines.

It is an- nounced that the sum of 500,000 Yen ($250,000) has been apportioned by the Tokio Government to pay the expenses of the naval visits It has been decided by the Javanese naval Authorities that the visiting squadron will consist of a first-class battleship and two armored cruisers of the first class. While it has not been yet determined which vessels shall be selected for the voyage, they will all be ships that fought in the Russo-Japan- ese War, and evbich participated in the Battle of Tsushima Straits, when Togo overwhelmed Rojestvensky. To command the squadron the Cloy- ernment has seleeted no less a naval personage than Vice -Admiral Shichire Kataoka. Vice -Admiral Kataika, though still a comparatively young man, was the commander of the third squadron of Togo's, fleet, and took part in all the principal naval engagements of the war, including the Bettie of Tsushima Straits.

Philadelphia, Nov. 19. -"When Ireland gets home rule, as she surely will soon, a small army of Irish Americans will leave this country and go back home," said Richard Hazleton, member of the English Parliament for North Galway, Ireland, in this city to -day. Mr. Hazle- ton is visiting the United Stattes in the interest of the home rule movement un- der the auspices of the United Irish League. He is accompanied by S. M. Kettle, also an Irish member of Parlia- ment. Continuing, Mr. Hazleton said: "We have the greatest faith in Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the British Prem- ier. Ile is a splendid man, and a man of his word. He has shown blinself fav- orable to home Title, and we feel that he will help us. England will have to give Ireland what she wants. The English idea, used to be to try to placate Ireland by an occasional sop in the shape of sonic remedial measures. This policy, which was known as killing home rule with kindness, will not do now. If the sixty-six Irish members of Parliament wanted to make trouble thee could com- pletely tie up the proceedings of that body." • 4 9 0 DEADLY SEWER GAS.

BLOW UP RAILWAY. United States Owned Sugar Estates May Also be V,Vreeked With Dynamite. New York, Nov. 19. -According to it Havana despatch to the Herald, from now on it is declared; at the Cuban eap- ital it behoovethe United'States to be extremely careful in dealing with the Cuban question, Developments reveal an ugly situation, fraught with danger to both countries. Whatever solution may be had, whether the United States establishes a protectorate or makes way for another Cuban republic, a revolution is not the worst result that now threat- ens. There is a conepiraey on foot to blow up English railway property with dyna- mite if after the contemplated action the United States hands the government over to the Liberals and ends its control of affairs. This is the sworn plan of a largo bode of influential wealthy Cubans to force England to compel tbe United States to continue a supervisory gov- ernment. One Cuban told the Herald correspondent he bad 500 pounds of dya namite, which be would use for this pur- pose, and that berate of Radical Cubans in Havana and. in Cienfuegos have been formed to do the Ramo with American sugar estates. On the other side, Juan Gualberto Gomez, a, negro leader of a majority of the Liberals, came out yes- terday with an open threat of a revolu- tion if the Americans do not go away en time and leave the government to the Cuban people. His fire was drawn by the discovery of the movement to de - mend some form of protectorate after the election had been held. The move- ment has reached considerable proper. tions, and now embraces several hundred native Cubans of high intelligence, re- presenting many millions of capital. Its platform, which will be urged on the Roosevelt Administration and upon Cote greet% is most carefully guarded, as it is certain of denunciation be the Liber- als, who soon maybe put in power, and would frighten sympathetic Cubans of property from openly embracing it, lest they later lose their all.

"She got it million out of him," was the way Mrs. La Mont put it, but other information which comes irom it source which ought at least to be as reliable is to the effect that the cash payment was nearer half the amount she mentioned. Whatever was the amount of the cash payment, it was established beyond. a doebt that the settlement did not in- volve the payment to Mrs. Platt of $10,- 000 or of any other specific amount in yearly instalments. Even if there were any doubt as to the form in which the settlement was made the developments in the case have made it apparent that Airs. Platt is possessed of too much worldly wisdom to consent to a com- promise by which she was to receive an income dependent on the life of an aged man in as feeble health as is Senator Platt. Mrs. Platt remains in possession of Tioga Lodge, in Highland Mills, which hes been the summer resort of the Senator, and of the city house furnish. - lugs in Washington, and there is rea- son to believe she still has three hun- dred shares of stock in the 'United States ExpressiCompany, of which Sena- tor Platt s president, which he is said to have given to her about the time of their marriage. In the separation proceedings Park- er, Hatch & Sheehan acted as attor- neys for Senator Platt, Marsh, Wins- low & Weaver were retained for Mrs. Platt. This is the announcement made pubs lie by Attorney Weaver: "Owing to unhappy differences be- tween diem, the undersigned have this day executed a deed of separation. While making such announcement, we wisb to assert with emphasis the falsity of the scandalous articles which have lately ap- peared in the pulaie prints. While there have been a series of differences and dis- putes which seem to make a separation advisable, there has been no conduct up- on the part of either which could possi- bly be the foundation of a divorce ac- tion. No question of the infidelity of either to the other has ever been rais- ed. Statements which have charaed vio- lent and disgraceful scenes beacen us or other improprieties upon the part of either of us aro absolutely false. (Signed) "Lillian T. Platt." "T. C. Platt." Senator Platt- was married. to Mrs. Janeway in this city three years ago. Afterwards he was sued for breach of promise by Miss Mae Wood. The troubles between Platt arid las wife. began it short time after tho wedding. On the famous trip west the Senator became angry over the friendsbip be- tween his wife and Hedges, the coach- maaieljultor Plett left the !Intel Goth- am at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street thie morning in spite of the cold weath- er, and drove in a cab to bis office at 49 Broadway.

"How about the episode of the Thir- ty-eighth street house. senator?" "Lies, lies; all lime" replied Senator Platt, in a week voice. Don't apeak to me. I won't sn.y anyelting mere."

A Hamilton despatch says: Hamilton Street Railway Company continued operating its city cars this morning, sending them out earlier than usual, and despite the demonstration yesterday afternoon there had been no serious trouble at press time. The police paraded at 8 o'clock, although the Mayor refused to insist on this last night, when the company made a request for better protection. The officers were held in reserve at the City Hall. One squad was kept busy watching the crowds on the , street. Near the Bank of HamSlton building early this morning a stone was thrown through the window of a belt , lino car. There were other little ince t dents along the line, and the crowds on 1 King and James streets yelled "Scab" occasiohalle. "We are getting down to business . now," said one of the strike -break leaders. "When we get 110W uniforms and caps for our men it will make a big difference and be an inducemeet to peo- ple to patronize the cars again." The strikers will have a monster de. inonstration on Thursday evening, when practically all the trades umons of the city march in procession from the Trades and Labor Hall around the eentre of tho city. Nearly MI the union musi- cians have offered their services, and a but time is looked for. It was stated last night that Sheriff Middleton had notified owners of some factories on Barton street that if their employees threw any more stones from the windows at cers he would close the olives up until after the strike. The Tenses was unable to locate the sheriff this afternoon to confirm the report. UNION MAKES CHARGES Apinst Superintendent Miller and the Strike Brokers. The union charges Superintendent Miller, who was at one time an officer of the local union and a fourth vice- president of the International, nith Ap- proaching members of the union both' on the street and at their homes, parti- elderly the young lite% and offering to my them $2.50 it day if they would re- turn to work. The men say the super- intendent backed the offer up with an nducement of the choke of ruts. Auotber charge made by the union is that some of the uonemion men on the ears used obscene language to ladies who stood in it erowd on the street. The strikers are ffoing to pay rnirticular et. tention to this/ and the next ease report- ed a promeeution Will follow. The union says it has, on good *nth- t ority, information to show that many of the company's special detectives an:t men operating the cars are from the °the er side. A rigorous enquiry is undei. Way and an attempt will be made to deport some of them. Complaint is also being made that while the police are strict -in obeying orders to move citizens on they allow the strike breakers to congregate. "There is no doubt,' said one of the union officials, "that those mea who jumped off the ear yesterdey made a de. liberate attempt to get the crowd going and start a riot in an effort to force the city toanll out the militia." "We have it on the very best of au- thority," said. another union inan, "that the company is paying passengers to rule on the care in an °weaver to get other people to ride." Complaints have limn made about one of the pompatty's detectives who has ir- ritated the crowd several times while passing the corner of King and James iStreete Officials of the company insist that troops must be brought here if it is to be afforded proper protection in running cars. It is the intention to begin oper- ating the camas soon as possible at 0 o'clock in the morning. "We want to give the reguler service, and we have the men to do it Have are given the proper protection. We also want to start the night service and are in it position to do it1hIttleatien,tio.:t immediately if the cats are The police for several days now have been working seventeen and eighteen :lours daily anl .both the officiate arvl men admit that it is mre othen they can be exported to stand for any length of time. While the men do not rote t against doing extra duty in an emu - pricy, they think that with no pras,ccts of a settlement in eight other arrange- ments shoula be made, They can scarcely ba expected to protect the ears in the day time and patrol the streets at night. RIGHT ON THE JOB. *.• The strike-breakers admit that the trouble is not over yet. "Our men are not looking for fight," said one of the leaders, "but they will be right there when it comes. Most of St. Louie, Bay City, Saginaw and many other strikes, and they will be able to take care of themselves. We have our private men well deattereS among the, crowds, and there is going to bo an arrest every day there is any trouble. We have a couple of men marked, and we will certainly get the fellow who threw the brick at 1Ventworth street yesterday." The company's mon are also niter the fellows who blocked the ter tracks yes- tordity and Saturday. Big boards were thrown stems the tmeke at Emerald and Barton streets. Last night extra preettutions were taken by the company's speelal men to see that the traeks were not interfered with. At Stuart etreet Is e *witch was &placed yesterday.
