Al'OVSTA, Ga., May 22.—The general assembly or the Presbyterians spent most ‘,j' the day in committee work. The appeal ,,f p e v. F'. P. Kuiusey. of Virginia, against the Virginia synod, for not giving atrial for his position on evolution, was tabled. Th'- synod would not endorse his position, hur had declined to give a formal trial. The committee on evolution to-night submitted a report that the Presbyterian church remains sincerely convinced that th" scriptures as truly and authoritatively expounded in its confessions of f.ith teacn that Adam and Eve were created body and soul by immediate acts of the Almighty Power', thereby preserving perfect race unity; that Adam’s body was directly fashioned by the \ 1 mighty God without any natural animal parentage of any kind out of mat ter previously created from nothing and that any doctrine at variance therewith is a dangerous error, inasmuch its by the methods of interpreting the Scripture, which it must demand, and ip its couse- .luenoes which by fair implication it will in volve the theory and lead to a denial of doctrines of fundamental faith. The report is signed by Dr. Geo. D. Armstrong, of Virginia; Dr. R. K. Smoat, of Texas, and others. Dr. Ferguson, of New Orleans, submitted a report to the same effect. The matter will come up on Monday morning a? the special order. Dr. Woodrow will make a hot debate. Tic Methodist Confvrrrcv. Richmond, Va„ May 22.—To-day’s ses sion of the Methodist Episcopal general conference was almost wholly occupied in discussing the report of the committee of the board of missions. The conference elected as president of the board, Col. E. W. Cole, of Tennessee, and Dr. A. G. Hay- good, of Georgia, vice president. The re ports of the secretary and treasurer were discussed at length and much to the credit of these officials. The indebtedness of the board at present is fbd.OOO. Toe Virginia Episcopal council, now in session at Charlottesville, scut fraternal greetings by telegraph ana referred to Eph. 6th chapter and 24th verse. At the request of the conference, the bishop responded, acknowledging heartily, reciprocating the fraternal greetings, referring to Hebrews 13th chapter. 20th and 21st verses. The report of the committee on hymn book was submitted the report simply ask ed that the papers referred to the com mittee looking to a revision of the hymn book may be returned to the conference. The committee did not have time on ac count of the near approach of the dual ad journment of the conference to consider the matter. Dr. P. A. Peterson, of Virginia, offered a substitute for the report, recommending • that the college of bishops appoint a committee of nine to revise the hymn book, which committee shall lie divided into three .sec tions. the members of each section to be selected with reference to the convenience of location for their work; that when the work of prepatory revision shall be finished by each section it shall be reviewed by the whole committee; that when the work shall have been approved by the bishops it shall be placed in" the hands of the book agent to be published for the use of the church ; that the book agent shall have au thority to pay on order of the chairman of the committee the expenses incurred by the committee in the prosecution of their work. It is recommended that those hymns be excluded which are rarely or never used in public or social worship; that when it can be judiciously done a long hymn be abriagedged, and that none exceed 240 lines, that particular attention b paid to the arrangement and classifica tion of the hymns according to subjects; that the whole number of hymns do not exceed S00; that the ccmmitte be instructed to prepare a tune book as a companion to tue hymn book if they deem it necessary. After a lengthy discussion the substitute was adopted. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. 1 ‘MiriluyV Prucfcilhiirs in tic IHhim—.tuntlcr full lor Hands.

Dunn submitted an argument in support of the bill which which would repeal the restrictive law which worked great injury to the people of the country. It had been acting most disastrously "to the general public g< od. and especially to the shipping of t he United States engaged in foreign carrying trade.

May 22.—As expected, the re turn by the furniture manufacturers from , the eight-hour system recently inaugurated I iu their factories here to the old ten-hour j plan, has resulted in the closing down to- j (lay of every establishment of the kind in | the city, rendering idle over 2000 men. When the furniture workers learned the | intention of the employes to abandon the short-hour system, they resolved not to re- ' turn to the old basis of hours unless they ; should receive more pay per hour. The i manufacturers refused to grant the de- j maud with the above result. Anarchists Arrested. | Chicago, May 22.—A special from Mil- 1 waukee says the sessions of the grand jury already held have resulted in two impor tant arrests. Both of the arrested persons are prominent members of the anarchist i faction. Cine is Anton Palm, a leading I member of the carpenters’ union, and the | other Herman Lanipe, president of the i hod carriers’ union. Palm is the man who, : at the anarchist meeting Sunday, April 25. followed Hirth in a bloodthirsty harrangue. ! After that time PaJm disappeared from ; sight so far as known, or at least took a subordinate part iu the scenes of the riot i week.

LONDON, May 22. The News this morn ing says: Ti.e impatience of Sir Michael Hicks Bi ueii and Lord luirtington is a good sign and shows, in the opinion of those best qualified to judge, t lint t lie more the home rule bi d is examined the better becomes its j prospect of success. If only Lord Churchill ! and the Marquis of Salisbury would make \ a few moiv speeches of the same tenor as those of last week the bill might be passed by a respectable majority. ' The Standard this morning refers to Gladstone’s ingenuity in deferring the di- , vision on the home rule bill, and says that I a prettier bit of comedy has hardly ever been seen in the house of commons than the cruel display of eagerness on the part of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chamberlain and Lord Hartington to hasten the dis patch of the home rule bill. Caine, member of parliament, said that if both tne Irish bills be withdrawn and remodeled by Gladstone in the autumn, there will be a chance of lilieral unity, and of carrying the measure. Davitt. speaking at Swansea Inst evening, ; said that Lord Randolph i.'hurehrl) had uttered in parliament language just us | treasonable as that for which he \Davitt had been imprisoned.

A conference of the liberal union was held here to-day and was largely attended. Lord Kensington was present, and was i loudly cheered. Among other distinguished gentlemen present was the duke of Argyle, the duke of. Westminster, Baron Roths- I child, Lord Northbrook, Mr. Goshen and Rvlands. Lord Hartington was the prin cipal speaker. He reviewed the political : events which had occurred since the Sth of j April, when Gladstone introduced the j home rule bill. He declared that I nothing has happened which in any case ! has altered the position of the whigs to ! Gladstone’s Irish bilis. It had from time i to time been hinted that the government was going to make great concessions to ■ the oppoiieuts of the bill, but these con cessions had never forthoome. As a matter of fact the so-called l modifications which had been offered contained no concessions whatever. Hartington declared that the present Irish j policy of the government, must, be vigor- I ously opposed by both parliament and the | country which were now threatened with l a general election. The lilieral union, he said, should perfect its organisation to the i highest possible degree in view of the ap proaching struggle in order to do all iu its f .ower to aid ui the work of maintaining egislative union between England and Ireland. Goschen followed Hartington by propon ing a resolution adopting a constitution fur the liberal union as a regularly orgaD- j ized political association. This was seo- I onded bv Hylands. I The Duke of Argyle moved the eleo- i tion of an executive committee, limited to , twenty-five members, and in speaking t-o , the support of his motion, made a most vigorous attack upon Gladstone’s Irish policy. Both motions were adopted and ■ the meeting then tendered a vote of thanks ; to Hartington for his attendance and his i address. ANTICIPATING A DISSOLUTION.

Cincinnati, May 22.- Governors Wil son. of West Virginia, Lee. of Virginia, and Forakcr, of Ohio, who are here as guests of the festival association, were in troduced to the members of the ehnmbor of commerce this afternoon by President Stevens. Governor Wilson was grateful for the opportunity he had of seeing some thing of the enterprise and public spirit of Cincinnati. Governor Lee, who was re ceived with shouts of applause, made a more elaborate speech, In the course of which he referred to the late war, and i s events which he said should be consigned to forgetfulness, or if remembered at all should be thought of, talked of as evi dences of American valor and fidelity. No men, he said, could be brought to face such I storms of shot and shell os were poured upon southern soldiers, unless they thought l their cause was just, lie was happy to say j that Virginia’s aim was to take her place ' in the coronet of the American union, and | bv her helpneas iu advancing the interest ! of the common country to become a bright and flashing jewel. "His remarks were ! warmly applauded. Governor Foraker followed, saying he was delighted to see the earnestness of the greeting given Governor Lee, who now, for the first time, visited Ohio. It would show him that, though Ohio’s sons had fought Virginians, it wns not through hutu; 1 ratherObfo loved Virginia so well that she I would not allow her to separate from the union. The war had settled their differ ences for all time, and now the common sire of patriots everywhere was to build up the whole country. Loud applause fol lowed. The governors then held a reception and were met by many of the prominent mem bers of tile chamber of commerce. (,r Hint lurki I.itiiaitin It- l'i IN. S. I'.!

I that there was quite a pronounced senti- i ment agaiimt personalities, and the other ; was that if the present method of conduct- j ing the campaign is continued, a feeling hostile to both Gen. Gordon and Major Ba- ! con would manifest itself throughout the state which might become strong enough i to prevent either of them from getting tne : nomination. Such a feeling has not been unexpected. 1 J*he great majority of democrats of tin* state havi too nigh a regard for their parity , to desire to see its usefulness impaired by i needless wrangles incited by two> of its leaders.
