Indianapolis, Ind., Juno 21.—This morn
ing Ur. Jones preached to a tremendous crowd of
reople, and he gave notice that tomorrow would
end bis ministration* in this city. His sermon was
the bait of the series, and it seems that the Indian-
apolls sinners are just beginning to catch on to the
fact that be la really an earnest evangelist worth the
boaring. At the close of his morning service Hr.
Jones asked Dr. Jeffrey, ol the First Baptist church,
to lead in prayer. Dr. Jeffrey will be remembered as
the divine who took Brother Jonas to task for
language interpreted as reflecting upon the Baptist
denomination, and considerable feeling was stlcrsd
up against the evangelist until he, so to speak,
“carbollcatfd" or, rather, explained that he was
only going for an Isolated Baptist in what he said,
and not for the whole denomination. Dr. Jeffrey
delivered an earnest, Impressive prayer, and at the
close asked the blessing of God on the minister
who had Just spoken (meaning Jones), that he
might continue to do a great and good work, and
that forgiveness might be granted for all anchor*
ltableness and unklndnees of which any body
bad been guilty. “Help us." said be, “tobe kind,
forgiving and patient, and may we all be lifted up
Into a higher plane." Before the benediction was
pronounced Dr. Jeffery walked across the pulpit,
and extending his hand to Ur. Jones, asked him
to hold his fsrewell service tomorrow in his church,
Y»hfch Invitation Ur. Jones accepted, and in mak
ing the announcement he added with reference to
Dr. Jeffrey that the hatchet was buried, and he
was glad of it. “It Is a fit conclusion for the work
of grace in this city," be added, “if the Baptist
brethren construe my remarks as a # reflection on
them as a denomination, I retract the word 'liar/
aa construed to apply to them, for I would no more
reflect upon that denomination of Christian peo
ple than I would upon my wile and children.
Uay God bleu that denomination as he blesses the
Methodist, Presbyterians and others who love
Christ."
This brought Dr. Jeffrey again to his feet, and
be responded with feeling: "I heartily acoept
this broad and ample explanation and retraction
by Brother Jones. Ism satisfied that he has a
great, kind heart, and that the word was a slip of
the tongue-|I wish it to be understood that there is
not a shadow of a shade of any unkind feeling in
my heart toward Brother Jones, and I do not be-
believe there la any such feeling in bis heart to*
ward me. I have no sympathy .with sectarian
alienations, and I want you all to believe that the
great heart of the Baptist (denomination throbs in
cordial sympathy and love with Christians of every
name, andldonot propose to be outdone by
Brother Jones In magnanimity. I say hero that I
take back every word which was severe and pun

The above letter and card speak for themselves.
Aa ferae I am concerned, I am heartily ashamed
of my connection with this whole metier. For the
few who were proselyting or attempting to prose
lyte, I should have had nothing bat pity, mingled
with charity, and preyed tor teem as fit. Paul did
for Alexander, the coppeiamltb. I am eornr, also,
because my remark*, meant for those who ware
doing tho atrty work, were misused and applied fo
the Baptiste of Columbus and to the Baptists of>11
cities, states and countries. Ihave sat In Baptist
churches and beard Ute mode of my mother's bap
tism and my own ridiculed, nut
never have I said a resentful
word. And if Baptists persist In saying tixeant
teem, I retract the word "liar," aa far as they ere
concerned, but still believe teat they ere as badly
mistaken as they conscientiously believe teat I am
mistaken. And here ends this whole matter with

JONES AND SMALL DENOUNCED
The Action of tho Baptists of Oolurn bn
Mississippi.
Columbus, Miss., Juno si.—[Special.]—At
a foil mcctlug of the First Baptist church here,
tho pastor, Rev. C. E. W, Hobbs, made a statement
of the recent charges preforred by the evangelists
against the Baptists of Odumbns. Rev. Dr. T, C,
Teaadale offered the following preamble and reso
lutions, which were unanimously adopted by a
standing vote:
IVbcrete, In a letter ol Rev. Sam Jones, which
wee read publicly by Rev, Sam Small is thoir
meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Monday, tho
Glli lust. Mr. Jonea admit! teat. he eald. In hit
meeting in this city, "teat all who eald teat Immer
sion te the only and cxoluslro form of baptism, are
Unti." And
Wbcreaa, In his excuse for using this offsndve
tonnage to tho Baptists in this city, and to tbe
millions of Immcrslonlsts throughout this coun
try, he alleges that tho Baptists "wore engaged In
an open end aggressive system of proselyttom, es-
pcelaily among tea younger people." And that
f'lbsywantao far as to confuse theml
conscience of
HP runny convert*:, nml to Imperil tl
new born frith. In some loxtonoe* thechild
I of parents of other than tho Baptist werou
while thm aboent from their home* and friflH
to Join tbe Baptlat church, upon the poaltivo
statement that its mode of baptism alone ooald
be to them the seal and sure wltnera o,
their soul’* ralvation. Others wore led to under
stand that they would be damned If they were not I
Immersed. They were thus led to doubt the reality
of the religion of their father*, mother* and flunlf-
let from time immemorial, and to tht* dilemma to
drawback from their profearion of ChritL In this
emergency or danger to aomony touU, produced
by atplrit ao Jesuitical ly at variance with the union
work of evangelism in which we were engaged,
and which Goa wm favoring so mightily, I indig
nantly protested against this
specie* ot proeelytism." Now, therefore
Kesolyed, 1. That as a church and people, f
city ; and wc challenge Mr. Jones to give his on*
thority for so grave and unjust a charge against
the Baptists or this community. , ...
Resolved, 2, That no Baptist minister or intallt'
gent layman in Columbus, ever taught thatoui
r, mode or baptism alone could be totho oon verts
the seal and the sure witness of their soul's salv%
tion." And the man or woman cannot be found
in our church, who ever taught, or believed that
the converts “would be damned if
they were not immersed." In the first place, we
do not believe that either baptism or the Lord's
supper Is a seal of salvation. We hold, a we
think the New Testament most clearly teaches
. that the blood of Christ ‘ “ ‘ * ‘ “
sinner s salvation. And
i that a man might be immers
ed seventy times in the Jordan, and If he hod not
erne, heart faith ta the Lord Jesus Christ, it would
profit him nothing. Indeed, it is a fundamental
principle of faith, that a man most be saved before
lie can be properly admitted to the sacrod rite of
baptism. It u Mud. Acts U. 47: “And tho Lord
added to the church dally the saved;" and we
adopt that pripciplo most heartily.
Resolved, 8, That It is dne to us, as a church,
snd to tho large and respectable denomination to
which we belong, that Hr. Jones should retraot
Baptist church of Columbna. It Is poalble that he
Resolved, 4, That it is an undeniable fact, that
the Baptists generally co-operated heartily with
Jonea and Small in their meetings here. They as
sisted as ushers, collectors and contributors; and as
Mr. Maxwell, their musical leader, knows, they
rendered Important assistance in conducting the
music on the occasion. Oar ministers and mem
bers co-operated In prayer and in the inquiry room
and did what they could to moke tbe meetings a
success; and we respectfolly submit to til who fore
candor and fair play that we deserved decidedly
more honorable treatment than that aocorded us
6, That a oopr of these resolution, bo

to withdraw the plea of not guilty and entered
a motion to qnashthe ladletmouta, whloh was
argued at eomo length. Tha court at once
overruled tbe motion. Tha dafanre then meda

for reasons cited in tho petition, heretofore

that tha intonate of none of the defendants
would bo Jeopardised. Ha overruled tha mo

THE PANAMA CANAL
Talks With Man Who Have Boon Thera-
now Tho Work to Progressing.
Mr. James M. Dobbs, at present a resident
of tee Isthmus ot Panama, te spending a few days
with Mends In AlIitnM. no Is a natlraofGoorgla,
having been born and reared In Mariett* Since
ten yean ago, bte business has carried him Into
many conntrlre. Ho bat visited England, Ireland,
Scotland, Wales, France. Bpaln, Portugal, Italy,
Arabia, India, Australia, Africa, Canada, Mexico,
Central America, Brazil, and every republic in
Boute America On tho Isthmus of Panama he te
a member of a firm which has a contract to do a
part of I be work on M Bo leaseps’s great canal.
Mr. Dobbs Is, ol course, thoroughly Informed as
to tee condition of affairs on tee canal. Ho aays
teat tee world at large b singularly ignorant of
the progress ot M Do Uesepa’s great undertak
ing, end that tee people of tee United States arc
especially so.
"Why"’he said, In talking to tea writer, "so
many, falsehoods have boon told about the canal,
teatretareoly anywhere out of Panama lathe real
state of sffolrs understood. I have bean on'.tee
tetemus two years. I bare boon actively engaged
In tbe work on tee canal, and, knowing Just wbat
bac been done and Just what remains to bo done,
I have been bote amused and annoyed, store my
return to tho states, by the elmoit numberless In.
correct Impressions I find people laboring under.
For lnstonco, ill sorts of ldoes are entertained as
to tee dimensions of tee canal. From Aaplnwall
to Panama, tho length ot the canal 1s thirty-seven
and a half mile* The width will very from
ninety-two foot to one hundred and elghty-fonr.
Tho depth srtu bo twenty-nlno and a half feat.
The Panama railroad rani neat the canal; In toot.
It craesea It Ivrice."
Asked about tho progreai or the work, Mr.
Dobbs said:
"About ten thousand laborers are employed
upon the excavation* They arc Rom every coun
try on tlic globe. Evan Icelanders are there. The
work te divided into sections whloh vary In length
Rom three to seven mite* Up to tee present, tho
contracts for the excavations have boon lot to
whetcverpaitleimadc tho lowest bid* At the
end of tela ytar tho contracts will be let to live
large construction com panic* which will oompleto
the work. Among there companies wilt be tee
American Dredging company, which will have
seven powerful dredges at work, capable ofremor-
lag three thousand metres or earth a day. This
will bo rapid work. As the work stands now
about ono-elghte of It has boon oomplotcd, and
laborers are employed upon overy mile of the dis
tance between Asplnwall and I'anam* I cannot
say bow long It will take to complete tee canal.
M. Do Usscps says three yeare. That It will even
tually he completed, I do not doubt."
Tho attention of Mr. Dobhe ires called to tele
grams sent Rom Asplnwall to newspapers In the
United Btates during M. DeUaacps's recent visit to
the Isthmus, to the effect that bo had not inspected
tec canal, but had remained upon a steamer, at
hteease.
" There Is sot a word of truth In Uio telegrams,"
Mr. Dobbs said. “M. DcLcsscps visited and par-
sou ally inspected overy section of tho canal. I was
present et the reception tendered him when he
arrived at tho Isthmus, saw him frequently after-
ward, and know that ho carefully and thoroughly
examined Into tec condition or eltoln."
Alluding totho hot that tho canal to being con
structed by tho French, Mr. Dobhe laid teat cltl-
sene of tho United States now residing In the lath-
mus, were anxious for tho government to assume a
protective control ortho canal. They believe In
tho Monroe doctrine, and think that a great Injury
to tee prestige and commerce of tea United Slates
will ensue, If tho government does not assume
such control.
It is well known thkl~too Isthmus of Panama is
extremely unhealthy. Mr. Dobbs, himself, has
neves^cen 111 there, bnt has malntalnedhteutual
good'health. He said that of all the peopleem-
ployed on the cars], those from the southern sec
tion of tho United states endured the climate beat.
At the Kimball house, yesterday morning, Mr,
Green said to tho writer: "Mr. Dobbs to preju
diced In favor of M. Do Las'ops and his aehemo.
Ills certainly a feasible aehemo. but to say teat
tho canal will be completed In three years to non.
sense. Even It Us French government decides to
advance money to the canal company, by lottery
or otherwise, tl will require at laast a dozen
yean to complete the work. One-eighth
of It, u Mr. Dobbs laid, baa
already been completed. That Includes houses
for the officers of tee company on tea Isthmus,
homes for employe* end houses for stores Tha
excavations do not font the most difficult pert of
tee work. Two rivers are to bava their channels
changed, and two mountains are to be tunneled.
What tremble will ha met with In tunneling teats
mountains nobody knows It may bo that they
are nothing bnt huge mounds of tod dirt, and It
may he teat they are solid reek. One thing la
certain; while the contractors at work upoo tho
canal bcllava teat tl will cvantnally bo completed,
they do not believe teat tee present route will bo
used. That Is, they do not behave that all of It
will be used.”
Mr. Green Imparted to tee srriter mneb Interest.!
Ing Information concerning the character of the
laborers at work upon the canal. "Mr. Dobbs
Wti correct," he said "aa to the cosmopolitan
character of lha laborers employed on tho canal.
They are Rom every country under tea sun,
Even tha remotosUAsiatlo countries are represent
ed. Chldly,-however, tho laborers are negroes
from tea Island or Jamads I do not believe
teat there ever waa before snob an absolutely law
less collection of men assembled anywhere Ion
tec toco of the glob* Tbe superintendents In
charge of tho canal And It necessary to go heavily
armed during every hour ol tee twenty-four. They
control tbe laborers at tha mouth of a pistol bar
rel or at the mtusle of a title, la no
other pert of tec world Is human
life considered of so little value. Tho Isthmus of
Psnsma Is under tee control of the United BUM*
ot Colombia. Intent country no such thing as
capital punishment Is known. The laws declare
that murder shall bo punished by ten yean Im
prisonment. This, of Itself, gives man lleenat to
take tee lives of their follows, bnt, In reality, tea
pnnlsbment to much lighter, A man r mvlctcd of
murdernsnally spends stow mouth,in Jail and
then, by tho payment of a tow hundred dollar*
regains bto liberty. In eighteen mouths' experi
ence on the Isthmus, I am confident that I have
witnessed an average of twomurders aday. Tho
Jamaica ncgroce are especially careless of human
life. They murder each other upon
tec slightest provocation, and do it In tho
most cold-blooded aid atrocious way. Their
favorite weapon to a knlfo which has a long and
very keen blade. A single sub with It euffloca to
end the Ufe ol the victim. Should tee canal ever
be completed, It mey well bo eald of It that Rom

seen laborers at work on tbe canal toll down Rom
cxheueUon, caused by black vomit, and die before

_ a young man Rom tee state* » very lovable
young fellow, who was sired With black vomit et

rived ten mlnniee sites tee meaeece reached Ma*
but tbe young man waa past his skill. Ilia death,
a horrible on* occurred ire tsinnu* alter ho was
arired. Tho people who stand the cllaute best
from tht slaw, I don't kntw Why R
to so, bnt the death rate among
them to comparatively low. Mr.
whom I knew very well on the isthmnr, never had
a day's sickness there. Ills csss illustrates a curl'
ousted Previous to his residence upon the lath.
mu* ho had smallpox while engaged In railroad
work In tee City of Mexico. I have never known
a person who hod suffered Rom that disease to ha
seriously sick white on tho Isthmus "
Relative to tho food oaten on the Isthmus, Mr.
Green said: ' McaU are not oaten by thou who
' care to preserve their health. I have often longed
for a rare beef steak, but I did not dare eat I*
Vegetables are tho chief articles of food, together
with some light bread. Hot food to esetitwod. An
other tact worth menUonlng to that people on tec
Isthmus eat but lltlte of anything. It they Indulge
heartily, sickness to sure to follow. But, whatever
precautions ho make take, tee man teat goes to re-
sIdo on tho Isthmus takes bis Ute In bto band*' 1
The writer asked Mr* Green if alcoholic liquors
wore extensively used on the Isthmus. "Why,” bo
replied, "more whisky to sold on tee Isthmus tn
one day than to sold tu ell Goorgtoluonedsy. The
tamales negroes employed on the canal are tee
hardest drinkers I ever knew. They spend most
of their money for liquor of the moot ffory sort
Beer to used to some extent, but, as tt to arid only
tn bottle* It la not aa popular as whisky or wine.
Tho French laborers on tho canal generally dnnk
ebampangc. They can afford to drink champagne,
because they make from one dollar and a half to
three dollers a dar.'
Mr. Green said that theclUiens of the United
States on the Isthumus ware very mneb disgusted
because their governmant bad not assumed a pro
tective control of tho canal. “They feel,” bo
continued,” teat no foreign nation should bo al-
lowsd to gain a foothold In Central or Booth
Amcrlc* They feel, too, teat the French will
never be able to complete the canal. They ere
opposed to Eads's ship railway scheme, end are
anxious that the government shall not aid It
They tough at tho scheme as impracticable. As to
tee canal, they think tea plan could bo Improved.
M. Da Dcsseps Intends teat tea depth ahatl bo only
twenty-nine end a half foe* Such a depth will
prevent tee passage of very large vessels. The
pcoplo Rom tee states think teat the canal should
bo daeoos."
Mr. Green wes asked tribe level of thePacMo
ocean wes higher than teat ot tho Atlantic,
"Ye*” he said, "It I* It Is nlno feet higher. But
that will make bnt lltlte dWkranoe. On
tee I'acUo side, two looke will

There to no doubt about It: the Panama canal
scheme la Risible, and tho canal will surely bo
completed sooner or later."
