Passed Into the Hall—4N0 Attacks Will
Be Permitted—An Assemblage to
Work. For the Good of Mankind.
CHICAGO, Sept..12.—\Vhat will go down
into history as the most remarkable of the
great series of world congresses that have
been held in Chicago this year and in
many respects one of the most extraordi-
nary conventions that the universe has
:ever seen was inaugurated this morning
in the presence of an audience that filled
the Hall of Columbus from the platform
to the utmost corner of the gallery and
that overflowed into the spacious rotunda
and out onto the wide plaza.
It was the world’s first parliament of re-
ligions, a series of union meetings with the
object of uniting all religions against all
irreligion and presenting to the world the
substantial unity of many religions in the
Jinanji J. Modi. "H. Dharmapala.

platform and in the body of the hall Chris-
tians sat next to Buddhists, Brahmans be-
side Greeks, followers Of Confucius with
the high priests of theosophy, Deists from
Bombay and Calcutta with the primates of
the Catholic church in the new land.
For 17 days the parliament will be in ses-
sion, and during this period each denomina-
tion will occupy the time assigned to it in
setting forth the principles of the faith it
holds and the service it has rendered to
mankind. There will be no controversy or
comparisons, and attacks are strictly pro-
hibited.
, “Peace on earth and good will toward
men” will be the ruling principle. De
nominational difierences Will be forgotten,
and each participating body will confine
itself to affirming its own faith and
achievements. '
, Opening the Congress.
It wasa few minutes, after 10 o’clock
when the throwing open of the doors an-
nounced to the great audience that the
procession was about to enter. Instinc-
tively every man and woman rose, and a
remarkable procession it was. President
Bonney led the way. - Then came Cardinal
Gibbons and Rev. Dr. J. H. Barrows of
this city, Archbishop Feehan , and the
Archbishop of Zante, Greece, President
Higinbothan of the world’s fair and Arch-
bishop Redwood of New Zealand, Protat

bay, Archbishop Koren Ashikan of Greece
and Rev. Dr. Monerei of London, and'so
on through a list of Over 200 men from
every land who have made themselves
famous in the fields of theology and
religious teaching.
The audience cheered to the echo as those
distinguished Americans and foreigners,
many of the ’ecclesiastics Wearing their bril.
liant robes, stepped slole down the isle.
When all had been seated, Cardinal Gib-
bons delivered a fervent invocation, the
audience remaining standing. Addresses
of welcome were then delivered by Rev.
Dr. Barrows, Rev. Augusta Chapin, Arch<
bishop Feehan and several others, and re-
sponses were made by most of those previ-
ously named as participants in the proces-
sion. The various congresses organized
this afternoon and will commence work to-
morrow morning. ' '

MUSHROOMS To BE SEIZED.
Sanitary Superintendent Roberts of New
York “rill Not Permit Peddlers to
Sell Mushrooms-.Deaths Report-
ed li‘rmn Several Localities.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.——Rosino Couzoniero,
an Italian, and her husband, Peter, died
at their home, 25 South Fifth avenue, this
morning. They were poisoned by toad-
stools, which they ate supposing them to
be mushrooms. Three others are ill, suf-
fering from the same symptoms.
Couzoniero, who is about 39 years old,
keepsasaloon at 25 South Fifth avenue.
He lived with his family on the floor above.
On Friday he purchased what he supposed
Were mushrooms at the grocery store of
J erolino Demarco, in the basement of 53
South Fifth avenue.
Mrs. Couzoniero cooked them about .3
o’clock that day, and both ate heartily of
them. Mm. Maria Antonia Negi'a, sister
of Couzoniero, tasted them, but. has not
suffered any ill eifect.
Early Friday morning the Couzonieros
Were taken violently ill. Dr. Forest of
‘ 101 Waverly place was called in. He did
What he could to relieve them, but without
success.
After suffering terribly Rosino ,died this
, morning. . Her husband survived her but a
few hours.
Demarco, the grocer, has been sick from
the effects of eating some of his own stock
on Saturday. He was out today, he said,
for the first time. His brother Martiano
and his partner, John Cuneo of 9 Varick
place, are confined to their beds suffering
from the effects of having eaten of the
mushrooms on Saturday. Both men are
Very ill and may die.
Demarco said this morning that his part-
ner had purchased supposed mushrooms
Thursday from a man who picks them
around Harlem and Newark. He did not
know the man’s name, but expects him to
come again with mushrooms.
He learned Saturday of Couzoniero’s ill-
ness and threw away the remainder of his
stock,,but not before he and his partner
and brother had eaten some.
Other peOple bought some of the mush,-
rooms, but no reports of sickness other
than those above have been received yet.
Symptoms Like Cholera.
Dr. Doty, chief of the bureau of conta-
gious diseases, has investigated the deaths
of the Couzonieros and the similar poison-
ing of people in Harlem._
The symptoms of toadstool poisoning are
extremely similar to those of Asiatic chol-
era. TO satisfy himself that it was not the ‘
latter infection Dr. Doty sent an inspector
to investigate.
Dr. Doty said if the illness arose from
plants gathered by individuals for their
own households the matter did not come
under the jurisdiction of the health depart-
ment. If it was ascertained that a dealer
was selling toadstools for mushrooms, the
department c'ould act. ’
Another case of toadstool poisoning has
been found at 68 West Third street, and
still another somewhere on Bleeker street.
Both of these cases are under the treat-
ment of Dr. Forest Of 101 Waverly place.
' Sanitary Superintendent Roberts said
this afternoon that the health department
would seize all mushrooms which were
being sold by peddlers. The department
also requested that the newspapers warn
people to refrain from buying them.
One Toadstool Killed Two Cats.
PLAINFIELD, N. J ., Sept. 12,—D. B. Van
Orden, whose home is on the Rock road
just northwest of Plainfield, narrowly es-
- caped death from toadstool poisoning. He
gathered some mushrooms and cooked
them and ate a small portion Friday night.
Saturday morning he awoke very sick,
with violent vomiting and convulsions.
Not until this morning was the patient
pronounced out of danger. Two cats
which ate Of the remaining mushrooms
died. It was found that there was just
one toadstool among them Whose poison
contaminated the edible growths.
‘ Six Italians Ill.
MOUNT VERNON, Sept. 12,—Six Italians
gathered toadstools instead of mushrooms
on Saturday and ate them with fatal effect.
TWO are dead, and the others will not
live.
A Woman Dead.
YONKERS, Sept. 12.—-Mrs.' Mary Connor,
47 years old, of this city, where she lived
with her four children, died today from

the Nation’s Capital.
THE CASE OF MAXIMO‘ MORA.
A ‘Penslon Asked For General Kelton’s
Widow, Who Is In Need—Other Con-
ggessional Chat—The Cyclone
Appropriation Goes Over.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Up to this point
the two houses have in equal measure
shared the responsibility placed upon them
by the president in his proclamation. The
first week was spent in preliminary organ-
ization and in the effort to reach an agree-
ment as to procedure in the house. Then
two weeks were occupied by the house in
discussion of the silver repeal bill, which
was passed by it attire. beginning of the
third week. The senate, though generally
' reproa‘ohed for its failure to act with,
greater celeri-ty on the bill, has really up
to this point occupied the same length of
time as the house in debate, so that there
is no ground for recrimination ' on either
side.
It is beginning-to appear that there has
been no actual loss of time in 'the conduct
of the bill in the senate by Mr. Voorhees.
As a matter of fact the courtesy he has
shown toward his opponents—though try-
ing to the patience of those desiring speedy
action—has had the effect to disarm a mim-
ber of senators who were disposed to resort
to more palpable means of Obstruction than
have appeared on the floor of _ the senate
this session. At least this is the statement
of a southern senator who has been very
earnest in his opposition to repeal and
probably illustrates his own state of mind.
To Pension General Kelton’s Widow.
A bill has been introduced in the senate
by Mr. Palmer of Illinois that recalls the
services of a distinguished soldier of the
late war who, after the war was _ended,
continued his duties in the service of the
government in another but more peaceful
branch of the army‘wark. It was a bill to
pension Mrs. J os'ephinc F. Kelton, Widow
of the late Brigadier General John C. Kel-
ton, who was adjutant general of the
United States army. The pension provided
is $100 a month. General Kelton served
with distinction on the field in the active
service, being eminently fitted for his du~
ties by a. course at West Point. After the
war, during which he won his star, he was ,
detailed for duty in Washington, and in
due time became the adjutant general of
the army, which post be filled for anumber
of years. .
The bill was accompanied by letters from
Assistant Adjutant General Theodore
Schwan and Adjutant General. Williams,
who indorse the proposed action and pay a
glowing tribute to the worth and character
of the man whose widow is now in need.
General Kelton, it Will be remembered,
died so poor that by his special request he
was accorded only such a funeral as is
given to the inmates of the Soldiers’ home
of which he died governor.
The Maximo Mora Claim.
There is another side to the Maximo
More. case against the Spanish government,
a bill in regard to which is now pending be-
fore congress. On the face of the papers
no claim could make a stronger showing.
Congress has passed repeated resolutions
urging its payment. Some of the most em-
inent counsel in the United States have
been engaged to ask action upon it by the
committees of foreign affairs and foreign
relations of the house and senate.
The state department has more than once.
been induced to instruct our minister to
Spain to press for a settlement from the
Spanish government. An agreement was.
once actually entered into by Spain for its
settlement on a basis of $1,500,000, to be
charged against the Cuban budget,,when
Mr. Edward H. Strobel, now third assist-
ant secretary of state, was secretary of le-
gation at Madrid. Yet there are said to be
circumstances of a most peculiar nature
back of the claim which justify the state—
ment that Spain will resist to the utmost,
any complic nee with a demand for its set-
tlement.
Maximo Mora, in whose name the claim
is filed, is a venerable and honest Cuban
gentleman, over 80 years of age, unable to
speak more than a few words of English.
It is asserted that he took out papers as an
American citizen chiefly for the purpose
of saving his large property in Cuba, valued
at several millions of dollars, from confis:
cation by the Spanish government on the
‘ground of his alleged sympathy with the
Cuban revolutionists. In this object he
was unsuccessful. His property was for-
feited, and this claim was brought against
Spain in his name as an American citizen.
It is also asserted that Mr. Mora now re-
tains only a few thousand dollars of per
sonal interest in the claim. He is said to
have parted with the rest of it to those who
have been so energetically pressing the case
on his behalf.
Rightly or wrongly, the Spanish govern-
ment is firmly imbued with theimpression
that the question between Senor Mora and
itself is one between a government and one
of its own subjects in which the United
States has no proper interestrthat Mr,
Mora’s American citizenship in fact was
little more than a. simulated allegiance,
Mr. Moret, the Spanish minister, who
made a provisional agreement for a settle
ment of the claims, subject to the approval
of the cortes, was compelled to retire from
office on this account. In a public debate
in the Spanish cortes the harshest things
were said aboutthe claim, and the severest
possible criticism was passed upon the
United States legation for, as was implied,
permitting itself to be used as a claim agent
to enforce an unjust demand against a
friendly government. ‘
It. was stated that the Moret agreement
was procured by representations made to
the Spanish government, by persons claim;
ing to represent the Mora claim, that senar
tors of the United States were so much in,
terested in this matter that they were will-
ing to approve a liberal reciprocity treaty
Wifél Spain provided the Moraclaim was
pa - _ ' ,
In other words, the impression was con-
veyed to Spanish officials that United States
senators Were corruptly interested in the
Mora claim. These accusations were so
openly made that Mr. Perry Belmont,
when minister to Madrid, peremptorily re
fused to follow the instructions of the
state department by further pressing the
claim upon the Spanish government, and
in this course he was followed by his suc-
cessor, err-Senator Palmer of Michigan.
Mr. Belmont forwarded a translation 01
> the debate in the. Spanish 'cortes to the
state department inexplanation of his
action. ’ , . ' ‘. ‘ _

lution offered by Mr. Dolph, all the recent

senate committee onforeign relations, in-
The papers were‘voluminOUs,‘and the as-
sertion is made that their arrangement for :
publication was left in the handset some ‘
of the numerous attorneys interested ' in
the claim; and that the debate in the cortes .
Was Withheld from publication. It 081'!
tainly does not appear in the official senate
document. Altogether the Mora claim has
spparen’tly much more in it than ap ' ears on
the surface, and some interesting 3
inents are expected. ‘ . , ,
As a. matter of course, the Spanish oili-
cials have long since ascertained that the .-
representations made fathom—possibly by” '
unauthorized agents of Mora—abohtjhe. ,
United States senate being willing to. trade
Off a reciprocity treaty for the Mora. claim
Were absolutely baseless and absurd: But i
the fact that such statements were put be-
fore themhas increased their feeling ofbit-
terness against the claim. ~
Routine Proceedings.
The attendance in the .house this morn~
lug wasavery small one. The chaplain ]
prayed for the child born "to'g'ladden the
cart of the chief magistrate. . .
Mr. Murray (Rep, S. C.) sought to secure
immediate consideration ofja; resolution
appropriating $200,000 for the relief of cy-
clOne sufferers in the south, but Mr. Kil-
gore (Dem., Tex.) objected, and it went to
the committee on. appropriations.
After transacting some routine business
the house at 12:40 adjourned. .
In the senate today the subject of the
Chinese exclusion act was brought up by
the presentation of a remonstrance from
the Methodist Episcopal church of Oregon
and bye bill prepared by the Rev. Mr.
Green, a missionary from China.
Mr. Dolph (Rep, 0L). who presented
the remonstrance, said that the statement
made in it showed the ignorance of the
conference as to the requirements of the
Geary act, and Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass),
who introduced Mr. Green’s bill, said that
he did not concur in its provisions because
it gave approval to the Geary act. The
bill was referred to the committee on for-
eign relations. . . ,
A resolution was Offered by Mr. Stewart
(Rep, Nev.) for a special committee to in:
quire into whether any senator is a‘stock-
holder in national banks or directly or in-
directly interested in them.
The resolution was earnestly opposed by
Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y.)_as uncalled for and ,
unnecessary and as a reflection on the sen-
ate. ‘
Mr. Stewart was about to reply to Mr.
Hill Wh‘en objection to the resolution was
made by Mr. Hawley (Rep, Conn), and
the resolution went over till. tomorrow, Mr.
Stewart telling Mr. Hawley that he would
