He graduated B.A. at Cambridge 1000, became preacher in London in 1701, Bishop of Bangor in 1715. of Hereford in 1721, of Salisbury in 172^?, and of Winchester in 1734. He attracted attention by controversies with the Nonconformists, and with the High- Church Party of the Church of England. His principles were developed in his ^^.W!/ on the Oriyin of Civil Ghvcniment (1700). The ac- cession of George I. in 1714 brought Hoadly's views into favor with the Court, and he received advancement. In 1717 the so-called linnriorian Controversy arose. It begjvn by Hoadly's publica- tion of his views on the text, '"My kingdom is not of this world;" in regard to which he maintained that Christ had left behind Him no such author- ity as that claimed by churches, and that this ■was the best way of answering the pretensions of the Church of P.ome. These views gave great ofTense both to High Church and Dissenters. He was attacked from all quarters, and the contro- versy raged for three years. He died at Chelsea. London. .April 17. 1701. His works were pub- lished with a life by his .son, John Hoadly (Lon- don. 1773). HOANG-HO, HWANG-HO, hwiing^f/, or Yellow River. Next to the Yang-tse-kiang, the largest river of China. It rises in a marshy plain in the District of Kuku-nor. Tibet, west of Lake Charing-nor and only a short distance north of the upper course of the Yang-tse-kiang. Its course is exceptionally tortuous. After flow- ing eastward to near the hoimdary of Tibet, it changes its direction first to the northwest and then to the northeast, in which latter direction it flows throuffh the Chinese Province of Kan-su. Leaving the Province of Kan-su, it crosses the Great Wall into Mongolia. There it flows at lirst northeast and then east as far as the west- ern boundary of the Chinese Province of Shan- si, where it turns sharply to the south, and, I)assing the Great Wall again. Hows between the provinces of Shensi and Shan-si, forming their boundary line At about latitude 35° N. it turns sharply east, which direction it maintains as far as the city of K'aifung. in the Prcjviuce of Honan. From that ])oint it Hows in a north- eastern direction until it falls into the Gulf of Pe-ehi-li about latitude 38° N. Its total length is probably over 2500 miles, and its basin is estimated at 400.000 scpiare miles. The chief tributaries of the Hoangho are the Taoho from the south, the Wcilio from the west, and the Tatungho from the north. The Hoangho is navigable for small vessels for a short distance from its mouth and in some parts of its middle course. The course of the river has changed repeatedly, and the present mouth was that of the Ta-ts"in until 1853. Prior to that time the course of the river below K'aifung was south- easterly, and its mouth in the Province of Kiang-su in about latitude 34° N. The sediment which is transported in large quantities by the Hoangho raises its bed, thereby causing inunda- tions. These have bci'u so frequent and so dis- astrous that the river has come to be known as 'China's sorrow.' In order to guard against the inundations, a vast system of dams and dikes has been maintained from time immemorial. HOAB, hor, Ebenezer Rockwoob (1816-95). An American jurist. He was born at Concord, Mass., the son of Samuel Hoar, graduated at Harvard in 1835, and was admitted to the bar. He was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas from 1849 to 1855, and of the Slate Supreme Court from 1859 to 1809. In 1809-70 he wa.s Attorney-General of the I'nited States.

An American legislator, born at Concord. Mass. He graduated at Harvanl in 1S4(), studied law in the Dane Law Scho<d, Harvard, and then opened an ollice in Worcester. He was an ardent memlKT of the Free Soil Party, and later of the Republi- can Party, almost from the time of its organiza- tion; and in 1852 he was elected one of its representatives in the Massachusetts I.*gislature. Though his ambition at this time was for a legal rather than a political career, he was in- duced to accept other nominations, which resulted in his serving in both branches of the State Leg- islature and in the I'nited States House of Rep- resentatives, of which he was a member from 1809 until 1877, when he was chosen Senator by his State. During his last year in the House he was a member of the Electoral Commission (q.v.), chosen in 1877, which decided that Hayes had been elected President over Tilden. He pre- sided over tlie Republican National Convention of 1880. which nominated Garfield and thus endeil the bitter contest between Grant and Blaine. He was always a consistent opponent of 'imperial- ism' from the days when he aided Sumner in his opposition to the annexation of Santo Domingo; and, though he supported President McKinley for reelection, he strongly opposed his policy in the Philippines, which he considered subversive of
