Th# Northern Church Mado a Mach Better Showlag^Fratcrnsl Greet* lag Sent to the Pittabarg Assembly’. Dallas, Texas, May 18.—The assem bly met promptly at 9 a. m. t and was called to order by the moderator, Mr. Hemphill. After the usual 1 opening ex ercises, the minutes were read and approved. The moderator announced several additional names on the com mittees. The rules were suspended to hear a partial report from Dr. Lefevre, chairman of the committee on foreign correspondence, he recommending that following message be wired the moderator of the Northern assembly: “To the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., Pitts burg, Penn.: “We salute you In the Lord, and pray that God’s richest blessing may rest upon Vou and all your delibera tions, and the great church of wbiel the Holy Ghost has made you bish ops/' Also that the following reply be sent to the W. C. T. U. of Texas: “Dallas, Texas, May 18.—The W. C T. U. of Texas, Hillsboro, Texas— Thanks for greetings. Second Corin thians, 13th chapter, 13th and 14th verses." This report was accepted and order was “-taken to send the messages. Referring to the messages. Dr. Le fevre said "For good reason we should anticipate the Northern assembly In the exchange of courtesies this year/ He said that while not recognlzlna the W. C. T. U. as an ecclesiastical body, yet courtesy demanded a reply be sent. The reply sent was simply to pronounce the Apostolic benediction on the convention. Several off the more conservative commissioners deprecated In private this latter, action, as It might be construed as an endorsement of the many extreme views of the W. C. fC U. on woman suffrage, and other things. There was, however, no objec tion made on the floor of the assembly, and the message was sent. A communi cation was read from the ad Interim committee on Sabbath schools. Much Important Information as to the, prog ress and needs of the Sunday school work to be supported by the Sabbath schools. An interesting comparison was made between the Sabbath school work of the Northern and Southern church, not to the advantage of, the latter. A report was read from the ad Interim committee on education, which, among other important recommenda tions, pro-poses the consolidation of the comlttee on' education with the home mission committee under one secreta ry. Moderator Hemphill is a fine presid ing officer, and is rapidly disposing of the business. Having cleared the morn ing docket, he called for the resolu tion to appoint a special committee to consider papers on organization, which was docketed yesterday. Rev. 'Mr. Walton secured the floor and, after stating Ills belief that at the proper time his side would be ac corded a fair bearing with the consent of tho assembly, withdrew his resolu tion, and the papers were left In the hands of the bills and overtures com mittee. Dr. Lefevre said he opposed the mo* • tlon yesterday because the committee had been named. The assembly ad journed at 12:30 to 9 a. m. Monday. The assembly’s meeting today was an active-business one. It iwns devoted largely to the hearing of reports from committees. Moderator Hemphill is a splendid parliamentarian and dpes not permit the assembly’s .time *to be wasted. Interviews -today with several of the leading officers and commis sioners developed a desire to finish all business by next Friday. Organic union may not receive so much attention as was at first ex pected. If possible a paper will be sub mitted which will effectually dispose of the matter, yet In such a manner as to heal the breach between tihe two extreme parties. Rev. Dr. Converse of the Louleville, Ky., Christian Observer believes that something must be done to remedy what he -terms “the fatal mistake of last year's assembly in not appoint ing a committee of conference with the .(Northern church’/’ He fears the disintegration of the^Southerti ohurch in the border presfbyterles if something Js not done to appease the dissatisfied element and a strong movement Is manifest to remove the office of the committee of publication from Rich mond, Va., to Nashville, Tenn. This does not meet with the approval of Dr. Hazen, the secretary, who says that ho knows of no good reason for /the change. Those In flavor of If that Nashville is more centrally lo cated and therefore the work of dis tribution will be facilitated. Tonight a rousing public meeting was held at the First? Presbyterian church In .the interest of colored evan gelistic work, which was ddressed by Rev. A. L. Phillips, D. D., secretary, and several others. Much interest was aroused and a strong effort was made to secure more active and aggressive •work In this department. Several of the minister^ have left the city to flU ipulpl'ts In adjoining -towns tomorrow. One of the commissioners ©a VI today when these absentees were announced that fee thought *HJ» general assembly came to Dallas to transact the business of tho church and not* to evangelize the 'state of Texas." at which there was general laughter. Rev. $fr. Coleman of ‘Mississippi, a tfult-blooded negro, made a remarkable speech tonight. It was witty and most entertaining. •Rev. A. L. Phillips made a magnifi cent appeal In the Interest of his work. Tfeere was not a dry eye In he congre gation at times, as he *poke of the prtwdon* of the negro ministers. TROUBLE IN BEHRING SEA.

Meridian, Mias., May 18.—The gen eral assembly of the Cumb?rIancM > res- bylerian church convened this morning at 8:30 o’clock. The haBf hour’s opening exercises were In charge of Rev. Harry G. Tea- garden of Pennsylvania. L>r. Dewitt, Che moderator, then resumed his seat and prayer was offered by Rev. MoLesky. Much of .the morning session was consumed In calling the roll of dele gates, a number having arrived last night. Communications were retad, one of them referring the woman preacher question, in which (Mrs. L. M. wool- sey, the only woman preacher in the denomination, Is Involved 1 . IRov. Dr. W. J. Darby, correspond ing secretary of the (board of ministe rial relief, read /the report of <the board, showing that approximately* $10,000 has been spent during :the year In support of 'the disabled preaehorn and the ■widows and orphans of deceased min Isters. Dr. Darby ‘told of the handsome Thornton Home at Evansville, Ind. where many of these beneficiaries liv in ease, thanks to this fund. The sub* jeot was discussed In commendatory speeches toy various delegates. The report of the* board of ministe rial relie ifwvis called up and the hour® from 10 to 12 o’clock" wore devoted to the question of ministerial relief. Rev, E. G. McLean was called to ‘the chair and presided during th© discussion of the subject. The report ©hiowed that c-lcven meetings of the IboaTd had been held during 'tihe year. (Pursuant .to fln order of the last general assembly an agreement was entered 5tfto .with the (board of education for the employ ment of Rev. W. J. Darby as secre tary of both boards. The number of families assisted toy the board during the year iwvts ninety-six, of which for.ty- four are ministers and fifty-two are minister’s widows. Receipts for the year for current needs $10,518.99; other receipt© $6,463.74, making a total of $16,922.73. The past year Has" been the most prosperous In the history of 'the board, which was organized fourteen years ago. The most important matter that came up for the consideration at the afternoon session was 'the report of the board of publication, which was pre sented by Rev. H. H. Burno of Eri? Tenn.- The report sets forth the fact •fha't there not only exists the burden of a large debt, but that $12,500 of the short bonds wil Imatur© on Ooto- Iber 1, 1895. A pleasing incident of the afternoon session ws the introduction to 'the as sembly of the local .pastors of the several churches, including the J«wteta nabbl, Rev. Dr. J. Wechsler, the lat ter of whom addressed the assembly in a brief but appropriate manner. 'Miss Llnna A. *HoR of Engine City, Ore., was introduced to the general assembly, and In a n©at and elegantly delivered little speech) conveyed to 'the body the greetings ofithe churches of her state. THE iNORTHIERlN PRESBYTERIAN S A Split on the Question'"of (Seminary Control. (Pittsburg, Pa., May 18.—Tho third days* session of the Presbyerlan gen eral assembly opened “(today jwlth a resumption of /the debate on the ques tion of seminary control. Both parties are compact and determined on this, the most Important Issue that fcsn© been toefone the church since the reunion in 1870. The Hbttfcla have gathered strength from the peace-loving con servatives and from 'the timid friends of the seminaries, who fear that dread ful result© 'to their beloved institutions nvlll follow. In favor of the plan pro posed for tho control of the semina ries stand only tho extreme conserva tives, and /they find in the assembly a force arraigned against them whom they Slave always counted In their following. The same" men who would have voted agalnsit Briggs and Smith are against the antl'-Brlgga leaders on this Issue. So it happens tdday that the general assembly is almost on the even balance. A motion to lay the whole question on the table will prob ably prevail unless a roll call were ordered to frighten away some of tho liberal following. Elder Thomas MbDouftall of Cincin nati, O., arrived today. He twill en gage la (the debate on the seminary report. Chairman Yaung being absent, ex-Moderator Mutohmoro took charge of theTepont. Dr. W. W. 'MCKlnney concluded his argument In favor of the adoption of the committee’s report. 'An attempt to restrict debate to ten minute speeches (Was overwhelmingly crushed. Judge White of Columbus opposed the adoption of the report. He held ■that tho committee expressly stated in their conferences with the seminary board In regard to the plan of control thfiit fhe answers of the (board should not change the relations of the semi naries to the church. The .plan was, in effect, thaft an overture be submitted to the oonsM -ralian o .fthis board and their answer© to be regarded as the Judgment of the boards upon the over tures. (How* should such answers be received by Ihe general assembly? Are the answers to bo honored as. tho true Judgments? Is ft courteous? Is it right now ; to reject the Judgments /which are against the plan and o©k tfche board to revise their answers? The committee, before It can ask (the assembly to ac cept Hs dictum in regard to iWhOlt the answers of tfee several boards should be, must show that the Judgments of the (board are wrong. Is not that a large contract? He bold Shaft -the as sembly could no»t impose tho same con ditions upon seminaries with different charters, founded under different con ditions. He asked 'that* under the con ditions the assembly drop any further pushing of this question. •Elder McDougall followed. He ex plained In detail the l«$al questions Involved In the proposed change© of tike seminary charters. The assembly adjourned for /the week 12:30 o’clock. President Thompson of Miami University, nvfio wifi oppose the report, (being In possession of the floor. The ddba/te will bo resumed on Mon day morning. « IHbMJ STORM AT EUFAULA.

Thd End of July Is the Most Probable Time for the Eleollon—The Queen in Excellent Health—The Nevr Chinese Loan, (London, (May 18.—The imminence of dissolution (of (parliament increases. It Is not alone that tho government ma jority is only ten, but that the govern ment parrty organa are clamoring for an appeal to the country and demand Ing that the ministry shhll go imme diately before tKe constlucncy as tho wisest recourse In order to escape ulti mate overwhelming disaster It is also known t'hnjfc there are grave dissensions in the cabinet over the question whether to proceed with' further business or to indicate that the time Hi up. The Westminster Gazette, in its issue of today, publishes an article under the captdon “Now or Nfcver,” in which it ask©: “Does the government mean to persevere in its policy of filling up its oup in proposing a bill for the house of lords to reject taking a lino which’ only timid liberals can approve? Unless Uhe ministers take a decisive (step, and quickly too/’ the Gazette adds, “they cannot explain if the party geit© out hand All things considered the sooner they dissolve, tho better” [The (Westminster Gazette In these utterances voices the unanimous feel ing of the radicals as well as the lib erals. Mr. Latooudhere, fn a speech to his constituents at Northampton’ last even ing declared) that a radical government ctoaildi not poiaBitoly 'without a grab breach of radical prineflpio continue to meet in parliament with.' a majority reduced to ten votes. A conservative government might do this, he said, because the conservative party did not represent progressive legislation, but a radical government must necessarily have a working majority in order to canny out tihe democratic measures that tho country desired. In the meantime, the liberal unionists ane contentedly watching ithls upheaval within the liberal party, and make no effort to accelerate the crisis. It is now believed, however, by everybody that tho crisis is sertain to come in the vote on the local veto bill which Sir Wil liam Harcourt continues to be deter mined to .press forward. The height of the London season Is not a period that the unionists andi conservatives would naturally select for a general election -but the. government once de ciding to dissolve parliament can choose their own time and theMr opponents will have to abide by the decision. Com menting upon the situation the Specta tor maket* thl© point and warn© the unionist© throughout the country that they ought to make preparation© with out delay and toe ready when the mine is sprung. The National Liberal Club accepts the end of July as the most probable (date for the elections. The Seitoorno -peerage episode was practically closed when the parlia mentary committee, in accordance with the provisions of itfee motions of Sir William Harcourt, was appointed on Monday with only a few minutes of formality. Of course, it is understood that the committee will, after mere perfunctory discussion, declare Vift- oounrt Walmer’a seat vacant, and that gentleman as the Earl of Selborno will immediately apply for fete writ for a summons to a scat 7n the house of lord©. His Intension 'to abandon his „ sertion of the right to sit in the houso of commons has (been announced In a letter, in which he advised Uhe Liberal candidate for tlio ©eat he vacated to vigorously prosecute his canvass in the west Edinburgh con©tfltlency. m leav ing the house of lords, Viscount -Wol- mcr (leave* to the friends of Mr. Will iam O’Brien a subscription sufficient to. pay (the claim of 'Mr. Patrick * A. Chance, M. P., against /the member of Cork City, and thus prevent Mr. O’Brien from becoming a bankrupt, in which case he would (have to vacate hi© eea't in paritameM, ns no person who baa (been formally declared) a /bankrupt and has not removed that disability can ©It in the house of commons. Mr. O’Brien Is entirely Indifferent about remaining in parliament and will ac cept assistance only in order to keep his seat from toeing contested toy tho opposition. Tt has long been known that toe cared nothing about keeping hi© seat In parliament, preferring to devote himself to literary pursuits, and he has) remained as long as he has lately for the purpose of keeping the ©eat securely in the column of his fac tion of ithe Irish party. The queen goes to Balmoral on Tues day (and will remain until the end of Juno. The assumption of the drawing room functions by tihe (Princess of Wale© has been erroneously construed, it having been generally believed that ft ava©(because of her majewty’© falling health. Quite the contrary. Those who saw the queen in the course of her Journey from J/>ndou to Windsor were surprised at her walking without as sistance to her landau, loaning upon her stick and stepping vigorously. Wfcth a view toward avoiding irri tating d«baJtan in the house of com mons .over the question of the Duke of ■Saxe-Cdburg's allowances it has been suggested either by the Duke or the Prineo of Wales that the govern ment consider the question of com muting the allowance for a lump sum. It Is underotood -that the ministers are unalmously opposed tx> such a course, as it would b t certain to meet With the fiercest opposition. A large part of the allowance must be spenfl In England, but if the whole thing were commuted -for a lump ©urn the Duke might become an fUbssntee. The report that China Is applying to European financiers for a 60,000,000 pound loan is ridiculed by the best In formed city house©. Th* facte are that certain Parte and Berlin banking firms approached the Pekin government, of fering to raise a loan, but not stating le amount. The Credit Lyonnalse and the Banqu* do Paris, forming the 'rerrch syndicate, asked M. Hanotaux, French minister of foreign affairs, to support their claim to finance whatever loan might be agreed upon, and the HleiJchrodera and Mendelssohns took sUniMffaotton with the Berlin govern- ment. The dominant cause of tula ex- t-raordindry competition is the orilef that the successful syndicate will se- cure orders from China and Japan for munitions of war, new ships, etc., on tho principle that the money ought to be spent where It was raised. Tho interested London firms calculated that tho Chinese loan will noft exceed 10,000,- ooo pounds, which sum could be ob- wRhout political interference. J iio Paris Temps foreefhadovvs a big ger 'project than the mere ©ale of arms, yjps. etc., associated with the loan, with rhe creation of an administrative system in China to be controlled by the European powers in a similar manner, In which tlio affairs of Egypt are controlled by Great Britain, The Statist says: ' runless China Is blinded by her bu rn ill nAi on she will never agree that a loan shall be supplied to her by France and administered by French ofllolals. This would mean future trouble be tween China and Europe." voice of the English ctouteh has at larft been heard in the matter of the public protest of Clergyman Black agulnst the marriage of Major Theo dore Brlnekmnn to Mies Linton, step daughter of the Earl of Aylesford, on the ground that tho groom had been divorced.
