Auousta, (1a, May 24.—The evolution discussion occupied to-day in the Presby- I terian general assembly. I>r. O. t). Arm strong advocated the committee report in i a logical speech. He said this church should remain close to her anchor of form ulated creed. Her standard of belief was not to ho fettered with private or i personal interpretations. He condemned Woodrow’s theory as dangerous. He de- 1 dared that the Presbyterian church al- ! lowed wide liberty, but would not tolerate a mischievous error like this. Itr. Arm- | strong said he believed the book of Guilts!., : was the historical account of the creation, ' and that the garden of Eden had a distinct I geographical position. l)r. Woodrow replied this afternoon in a two-hours’speech. He begged the church | not to make any positive deliverance upon the story if the creation of man. The church had generally erred when it preached upon the reservation of scient ists. Was the church never to learn anything? Dr. Woodrow declared that i cino the scriptures did not pretend to teach ids- - lory, geography or science. Dr. Arm The Ishmaclitc thus comments on | strong's committee could not say that mail’s creation was an immediate act without animal parentage. The debate continues to-night.

It seems that it Is a hard matter for the people to come lo a clear understanding ;ls to how the candidates stand on the ques tion ni the railroad commission. At Sparta the other day the editor of the Sparta Ish- niaclitc propounded tlu.se two questions to the two candidates: “1. Du you favor the enactment of a law preventing railroad pooling in Georgia?” Do i on endorse Major Campbell Wal lace as railroad commissioner?” These questions were presented with the request that they be answered during the del.at tlie answers received : "Major Bacon answered the first of the I questions evasively, leaving the unavoid able impression that he favors the railroad pool. In reading aloud the second ques tion, lie omitted tlie last t lu ce words, null:- | jug it appear that we hud asked the silly : I'Ut'Slion whether or not lie indorses Major Campbell Wallace as a man. After some; persistence we elicited I he fact I hnl he and the Islimai'lite are on different lines on tlie railroad commission question. "(Jeneral Gordon promptly and frankly a.ai mined his opposition lo railroad pool ing, and all other sort of pooling, and ftillv indorsed tlie record of Major Campbell Wallace as railroad commissioner. “Ma jor Bacon, (’aplaiu Kamil, the Macon Telegraph, anil all tlie railroads endorse the commission theory; hut it requires a friend of the letter anil spirit of the com mission law and ofthe purposes for which the law was enacted, to endorse Major Wallace’s record as railroad commissioner. (Icncral (Jordon did it. The questions were asked fur information, and acting on the information gained, the writer has no other holiest alternative but to favor his i andidacy. “It is a small matter whether this course puts us iu the big ‘ring’ or the little ‘ring.’ The Ishmaelite doseivt stop to count noses in tiie luce of considerations of public duty.” W11AT IS THK ISSUE? The Enquirer Sun has all the time held that outside of a personal preference there is no great issue or principle at stake in tiie present campaign. The Atlanta Constitution in a strong partisan of General Gordon, and virtually admits it in tlie fol- i wing from a stuff correspondent: “Each candidate lias made the resigna tion of the other the leading issue. As to this, it was noticed that, in Eatonton and Sparta, .Major Bacon became very angry allusion to lii:- resignation, and was tlireat- i iiiiio in his replies.

General Gordon charges, however,that his opponent's ) si turn on the railroad commission is not us fully expressed nor as firm as his own. The former is in lavor ol the commission “as it is.

Colum bus, Ga, eod&w Washington, May 23.—“I am glad the president is going to bring a wife to the White House,” said one of Washington’s societys queen this afternoon. “It will settle several social questions that are not in dispute but m abeyance. Miss Cleve land’s position has not been a pleasant one for her, and I am not surprised that she says she looks forward to her liberation without regret. She is a- woman of real force, however. Had she not been she would have been crowded aside as the first lady of the kind long ere this. It Is an open secret that, had Mrs. Hendricks been so disposed, there were strong friends be hind her who would have pushed her for ward as the social dictator of the nation.” “Do you mean that there would have been two rival social courts in this capital city?” I asked. “That’s just what I mean,” was the an swer. "Fortunately for herself Mrs. Hen dricks had neither the taste not' backbone for such a Mieial coup. Her friends, to whom the president's clever sister was then a vague tradition, saw a brilliant op portunity tn completely overshadow the executive mansion. There may liave been a trace of polities in the matter, but if there was it was not openly spoken of. Mrs. Hendricks, however, was not cast in the mould of fashion, and she had the good sense to comprehend the fact.” “Not a Lady Blessington or Mine, de Stae)?” “Not in any sense, She is a most esti mable woman, but thoroughly domestic in her feelings. She would rather lie assured by actual observation that the boards of her kitchen floor are scrubbed with tlie grain than to know that she was the best artssed woman in Washington. I was at an evening party with her once, and with my own ears heard her excuse herself, after a half hour’s stay, in these words: ‘I have a very sick cow, and feel that no place of duty is at her side.’ When I was consulted about the proposed social up heaval I told the story of the sick cow, and it settled the matter,” “Did Miss Cleveland rise to the occa sion?” I inquired. “Indeed, she did,” was the prompt re ply. “She scented the plot with a wo man’s keen instinct, or, as is more prob able, some traitor in the camp of the schemers went over to the enemy. Under stand me. Mrs. Hendricks never consent ed to the intrigue. Miss Cleveland lost no time in giving a reception, to which she invited nearly all the members ofthe social cabal that had planned her overthrow, and before they separated she had impressed nearly every woman that she was indeed mistress ofthe white house. “If tlie vice-president’s wife had been a beautiful and brilliant woman, like Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Ricketts or Mrs. Ilearst, for example, a bold clash for leadership might have been successfully undertaken. It was certainly an opportunity. But do mestic economy and social regality do not go hand in hand. Miss Cleveland has done well—better than most ladies could have done—but that she has observed a coldness among the old clique of women who have ruled Washington in the past is undenia ble. There is one question now agitating many a woman’s breast in this town.” “And that is?” “Will they capture Frankie when she becomes mistress of tlie white house? Watch, and you’ll see something interest ing when she arrives. If the dear girl is susceptible to the interested but shrewdly disguised flattery of her own sex, she wifi be putty in the hands of a few social lead ers who already reckon on a restoration of the pomp and splendor that characterized the days of the early presidents. I predict that they will fail, but it’s well enough to try.
