H. H. Amiulth. M. in a letter, to the Chairman of the East Fife Liberal Association, explains his reasons for supporting Lord Rosebery'a new Liberal League.

Mr. Asquith fully indorses Lord berye home rule policy, and points out that even Gladstone's magnificent courage and unrivaled authority failed to solve the problem, because of the rooted repugnance of the majority of the electorate of Great Britain to grant a parliament to Ireland, Mr. Asquith proceeds: "Eight years bare since elapsed, and nothing has been done to conciliate, and not a little has been done to stiffen, this adverse Judgment of the British electorate. If we are honest we must ask ourselves the practical question whether it should be a part of the programme of the Liberal Party, if It is returned to power, to introduce a bill for home rule. The answer to this question, in my judgment, la no not because we think the Irish problem to be either Mettled or shelved, but because the history of these years, and epecially of tne most recent years, nas maae it piain that home rule can only be obtained by inr mods enjoying tne sanction ana sym oatnv or uriusn opinion.

CANNOT MOVE OR. MEREDITH. If Brooklyn Pastor Dies In Mexico, Body May Not Be Taken from Country for Two Years! There were deep gloom and sorrow yesterday among the members ot the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, Tompkins Avenue and McDonough Street, Brooklyn, when It became known to them that there was practically no hope that they would ever see again alive their pastor, tha Rev. Dr. Robert R.

Meredith, who is reported to be dying in Mexico. The church people suffered additional distress of mind over the prospect that in 'the event of Dr. Meredith's death in Mexico, they would have to wait two years before bringing his remains home. DT. Meredith has been in poor health tor several months.

He is suffering from Bright' a disease. About five weeks ago he was given a leave of absence by the officials of the church and went to Mexico in the hope that a stay there would Improve his health. He is at Cuantla, a resort about 100 miles distant from the City of Mexico. In 'the mild climate there Dr. Meredith seemed tor a time to be getting better, and the members ot his congregation felt greatly encouraged by the reports received from him.

Recently, however, he suffered a relapse, and hla condition has since been growing steadily worse. The latest word as to their pastor's condition was received by the church people on Saturday night. This dispatch stated that he was very weak and that little hope of his recovery waa entertained. In the afternoon the members of the Board ot Trustees of the church held a meeting to discuss the situation with regard to the pastor and determine what should be done. Members of the board had been informed that under the laws of Mexico the remains of a person dying In that country could not be removed therefrom until two years after death.

The feeling seemed to prevail among the Trustees that there waa little If any hope ot Dr. Meredith' recovery. It waa suggested that the Church send some one to Mexico to bring Dr. Meredith home, if that were possible, or, If not. to bring him out of Mexico Into United States territory.

This proposition was discussed at length, but It was finally decided that, from the latest advices received concerning the sick clergyman, appeared that Dr. Meredith was too weak to be moved at all. This conclusion confronted the congregation with a peculiarly distressing situation with relation to their pastor. It was sug- rested to one of the members of the church ast night that the State Department at Washington be appealed to In the matter. It was pointed out that it might be possible for the tate Department to arrange with the Mexican Government through that country's Ambassador at Washington for a suspension of the law in the case of Dr.

Meredith. It was said that this would very probably be done by the Mexican Government if it were approached in the matter at once, and before the expected death of Dr. Meredith. It is probable that this suggestion will be made to the Board of Trustees of the church to-day. Dr.

Meredith came to the Tompkins Avenue Church from the Union Congregational Church of Boston In 1887. The Tompkins Avenue Church is now the largest Congregational church in the country. Its membership la about 2.P00. Its Sunday school and Bible class, of which latter Dr. Meredith is the teacher, are also among the largest in the United States.

Vesper service, postponed from the afternoon, was held last night at the Roman Catholic Church of the Blessed Sacrament, at Broadway and Seventy-first Street Father Matthew Taylor, who delivered a eulogy of Leo had had the church protuaely decorated.

A temporary flagpole waa erected on the church from which fluttered the combined colors. On leaving the edifice the congregation were much surprised to find Sherman Square brilliantly illuminated with red fire. ELEVATION OF LABOR.

The Rev. Or. Grant Thinka the Public Should Be Educated to Purchase Beautiful Objects. The Rev. Dr.

Percy Grant, at the Church of the Ascension, last night preached on the subject "Labor and Expenditure." Among other things, he aald that labor waa dignified, and no matter how humble the laborer might be he could elevate his calling and his labor by honest devotion to it In support of this assertion he cited the work of the men In the ships in the recent war with Spain. It had been conceded by those competent to judge, he said, that the engineers and stokers working in the holds of the snips had contributed as much to the success of the American arms as the men who on the decks had-directed the movements of the vessels. Without the devotion to duty of the men below the battle would not have been won. As to expenditures, he said that people could ennoble labor by spending money on beautiful things instead of buying ugly and trashy things, thereby creating a demand for things not ugly or trashy, but beautiful and Some people found fault with men who had wealth for expending large sums cm works of art. but such expenditure was ennobling, because it created a demand for labor ot a higher grade than the product of a brewery or cheap-grade chair factory.

He thought that the public could be educated to purchase thinga that were beautiful, whether a chair or a book or a picture. By this means the laborer would be raised to a higher plane than If there were demand for ugly, brutal, and debasing things. Lectures on Architecture.
