Souio of tbe tnea wbo passed this adopting act were the very men who formulated and adopted the of the United States, and in both docutne-nts they bullded better than they knew. I- hope it will never be made more easy until two-thirds of the presbyteries feel Interest enough to propose alteration in the confession of faith.

No such proposals should be entertained by the assembly or sent down to the presbyteries." The subject was continued as the second subject tomorrow forenoon. Tbe exercises of the evening consisted of addresses on tbe Sunday-schol bv Rev. Drs. BurrilL Craven, Worden and W. C.

Roberts. vote of the presbyteries. It was also voted that the action by tho presbyteries on the question of revision be referred to a special committee. One hundred and thirty-two presbyteries had favored the proposed revision, sixty-six hiid opposed it, seven declined to act, and eight had not reported. Judge Wilson, a member of tbe committee on revision, but not of the assembly, was requested to explian the action of the committee.

The following committee on canvassing the votes of the presbyteries on revision wa3 appointed: President Patton, of Princeton College; 3r. H. M. McCraken. of New York; Kev.

Dr. Edwards, and Elders Bradley and Thorctoc. liquor traffic in ooxao. The standing committees were appointed, and then the committee on tM liquor traffic in the Congo Stjtte reporrwl that they had tried to get Congress to uae- its influence against tbe traffic, but. as rite United States was not a party to the Kertn treaty.no action could le secured at present.

It was voted to accept the report and discharge tbe committee. publishing interests. The committee on the board of publication and Subbath-sehool work made iW report recommending the purchase a plant for printing and making books and periodicals. Tbe report says: Much of the work now done for the board costs twice as much as we could do it for ourselves, and a great deal mors than the rates at which trustworthy parties staud ready to eontrjiet to do the work. The members of the business comuiilt.ee now in charge of this work are not possessed of tbe technical knowledge u'ded to conduct a publishing enterprise.

Tbe committee rc-c-oruniends such a chanire in the composition of the business commit tee as will fit it for such work, and. further, that in their opinion, unless these and other sorely needed changes be made in tbe conduct of the publishing business the widely spread dissatisfaction with the publications of the board, espeoisllv Sunday-school books, cannot be al laved. "The readiness of the officers aud aipioves to help tne committee in its investigation lias be-n all that could be wished. The appointment of a committee of elders, all of whom should havr special acquaintance with the publishing and book business, aud should have full control for a term of years of this business Air the board, was recommended by the committee. Tbe business committee of tbe publi-hicg department, which was by the General Assembly of 1KS9 ordered to make a joint investigation with the secial committee, reported that there had been no suitable and adequate consultation between those two committees, and that tbe special committe-e persisted in treating as confidential tbe information upon which it based its conclusions, withholding it from the rmsiness committee.

The business committee thought the censures of tne special committee not warranted by the facts. Both reports were ordered to be printed and referred to the committee on Sur.dav-schools and missionary work. Dr. Howard Crosby, chairman. A report from the committee for providing soldiers with religious reading was read by the chairman.

Rev. Joseph T. Smitb, D. of Baltimore. It was accented and adopted and the committee continued.

The sudden death of the Rev. A. L. Blackford, D. of the Synod of Brazil, while on his way to the assembly, was announced from the platform, and resolution of respect was adopted by a rising vote.

SCARCITY OF MINISTERS. The committee on increasing the supply- of efficient ministers reported thar since reunion for every three churches organized one had died, and this mostly for the lack of efficient men and means to pay them, the total number of these dissolutions being L.099 since 1871. There is a crying need tor a great increase in the number of new men trained for the ministry. We have not over two-thirds as many as we need. It was recommended that schools for Bible readers and other lay workers be organized, and that fit laymen be licensed to preach who cannot give tbeir entire time to the work, and theological seminaries are advised to consider the expediency of providing special coumes for promising men who have not had a classical training.

It was voted to receivf the report and to consider it in cornection with tbe report of tbe committee on education, and that it be made the standinar order toconsider that subject on the afternoon of Mouday next instead of on Thursday. Prof. Herrick Johnson, of the McCortnick Theological Seminary. Chicago, reported on the bringing together of vacant churches and ministers. Tbe report said that hundreds ot churches and ministers that might be brought together are not except through, expedients that are in everyway mischievous.

Prof. Johnson thought that any effort to remedy the evil should be shared by the whole church; that there be a central intelligence office, a revision of the episcopal powers of tbe presbyteries, and that there be provided an adequate fund for the expense of any plans of relief. The res varies shall secure the supply of vacant pulpits and pay unemployed ministers, no one man supplying any pulpit for more than two weeks, and no church going without a supply more than one month at a time. The report was received and ordered to be printed. THE SOUTHERN ASSEMBLY.

Dr. C. K. Hemphill's Anti-Revisian Sentiment Applauded. Asheville, N.

May 16. The first business of the second day's session of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church South was the appointment of the standing committees. Resolutions were adopted recognising tbe American Bible Society as ait aid of the church in the distribution of the Scriptures and recommending that tbe churches place the Bible cause among the objects of beneficence and make an annual contribution for it, to be turned over to auxiliary societies in their neighborhood or directly to the parent society iu New York. Rev. H.

Houston, secretary of the foreign mission of Nashville, then submitted a report on the foreign mission, showing that during the past year fourteen missionaries have been sent to the mission field, the largest number ever sent out bv the church in one year. An important mission of great interest has been undertaken to the Congo Free State of Africa. The receipts of the treasury have been larger than ever before. Work has been carried on throughout the year without borrowing a dollar an experience almost without precedent in tbe history of the department. At mission stations and out-stations the Gospel has been preached to many thousands of people.

The receipts of the treasury from all sources for tbe year amounted to $107,627 $11,572 more than for any previous year. Tbe amount received from legacies was largely increased, being nearly fifteen thousand dollars. Tho sums from other sources were but slightly-increased over former years. The committee urges the assembly to restore to the foreign mission the same proportion of ooU lections as at first, which was one-fourth instead of one-sixth, as now. The committee spoke more encouragingly of the work in Japan, Mexico, China, Brazil, Greece and Africa.

In view of the great interest and importance of the last named field the committee request the assembly to make ft the subject of special prayer and thanksgiving. During the discussion of "The Faith Once Delivered to the Saints," by Dr. C. R. Hemphill, of Louisville.

at the banquet lapj night, he urged in the most forcible manrj steadfastness to old standards and oppo-ed the revision of the Confession of Faith. He said he hoped God would direct his bre'iren of the Northern church now in sessior i. and keep them true to the faith once delivered to the saints. He was most enthusiastically applauded. The assembly is clear! opposed to revision.

THE METHODISTS SOUTH. A 'The Black Hussar." Grans Opening of the Summer Opera Season Monday Night. "The Black Hussar" will be given at Har ris's Academy next week in superb style. The management have completed most ex tensive preparations, and everything indicates a brilliant opening. The Junius Howe Company, while new to Baltimore as an organization, comprises a number of the best comic opera artists on the stage.

Mr. Hubert Wilke. who will sine the title role, is pleasantly remembered here for his successes with Kiraliy's "Ratcatcner company and recently with Francis Wilson's ''Oolah." "The Black Hussar" is a role in which Mr. Wilke Is at his best; he has played it many times both abroad and in this country: hisjrioh baritone voice is well adapted to Millocker's enchanting waltz melodies, while his SDlendld nhvainun fits tfcn character ad mirably. That charming little lady.

Miss Celie Ellis, who scored such a distinct hit here on the occasion of her anDearance with Stetson's "Gondoliers," will sing her original role in "The Black Hus6ar." Frank David's name alone is sufficient to crowd the Academy, for he is one of the most popular favorities who visit Baltimore. Last summer he was a standing attraction at the Academy, and his reception on Monday night next will undoubtedly amount to an ovation. Mr. David is a pleasing exception to the general rule of comedians, inasmuch as he can sing. He has a number of new topioal verses for "Read the Answer In the Stars" next week.

Mr. Max Figman, a come- aian whose reputation ranks as nrst class, will have the oDnosite roles with Mr. David. and in addition to this Mr. Figman will have entire charge of the stage management.

He is one of the verv best staa-e managers in this oountry, and the suocess of the per- loruiauces nere mis summer, irom ku uriiMiu standpolnt, is already assured. Mr. John J. Raffael, "Handsome Jack," will delight his many admirers again. Mr.

In an interview with a reporter Mr. Gillin said that he suffered terribly with catarrh for seven pr eight years, and In describing tho history of his case he said: "1 tried everything 1 ever beard of, and got a little relief, but nothing like the relief I got from Doctors McCoy and Jordan, of 21 West Franklin street.

I started to go to them about three months ago. At that time my nose was Itopped up. and was dry and full of scabs. I was continually picking at them, and I used two handkerchiefs a day and they were always covered with blood. I was short of breath, and bad pains across my forehead, right over my eyes.

I had a dull, tired feeling. I was in a terrible way. I had no ambition for anything. I never went to any plaoe of amusement because I had no inclination, being drowsy and dull all the time. But it's different now.

My nose isn't stopped up any more. I don't have any more paius In my even and across my forehead, and I liavout that dull, tired feeling any I have lots of ambition now, and feeilikemy old self. I feel all right now. I'm rid of the catarrh now. Yes, I'm all right now.

The treatment of Doctors McCoy and Jordan is very mild and very good. Why. 1 hadn't been rolng to them more than a week or so before I found relief." Drs. McCoy Jordan furnish all medifiines. and their charges are very moderate.

Baltimore, May 16, 1890. Geo. W. Brooks, Chairman of Committee. Sir: On Thursday, May 15, after my return from ashington, received a letter irom von Invitiniy me to be nresent at a meeting of "a Committee of the City Council of Bal timore to be held at 4 P.

M. on innrsaay at the City Hall and furnish the Committee with any information you have as to tne use of money in connection with the passage of the Belt Railroad bilL" Today, May 16, at 12.20 P. I received a postal card, signed by you as chairman, requesting me "to attend a meeting, of the Joint Standmo Committee on investigation or charges against members of the City Council to be held in the committee-room attached to the council chamber today at 2.30 P. 1 note these dates to show that it was physically impossible to prepare this response for either meeting. On last Saturday, in a public interview between the Mayor ana a number of citizens.

1 publicly charged to his Honor that corrupt means had been used to secure the passage of the Belt Line ordi nance. In this connection I propose a short review of the notorious methods and avowed means that were used to pass such ordinance. First, the Joint Committee on Highways, to which this ordinance was referred lor consideration, was taken to New York by an employe of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for the alleged purpose of examining some "open out" of a railroad in that city, and all expenses were paid by said employe. Second, the whole Counoil were then taken to New York under charge of Mr. Selden, an employe of the said Company and a member of the Council, and entertained with champagne aud cigars, at the expense of the same Company; some few honorable exceptions were found, who refused to compromise themselves by accepting these doubtful hospitalities.

On April 10 Mr. Budnitz, in the First Branch of the City Council, offered a resolution that the Belt Line ordinance be referred to the City his tne interests ot the city are properly protected by the terms of said ordinance." On April 21 the City Solicitor made his report to the Council, in substance that the interests of the city are not properly protected by the terms of the ordinance, and he pro-prosed a number of amendments which in his opinion were necessary to properly protect the interest of the city. The Solicitor further informed theCouncil that the Counsel of the Company had informed him that eight of the amendments proposed by him would be acceptable to the Company. The amendments proposed by the City Socicitor, and accepted by the Counsel of the Belt Line Railroad Company, were at once adopted. The other amendments, considered necessary by the law officer of the city, whose advice had been asked by the Council, and which in honor, if not in law, they were bound to abide by to protect the interest of the city, were promptly rejected.

On consideration of the ordinance on April 28, amendments were offered to secure a tunnel in the Northern Annex.in order to secure the rights of property-holders along the line of the projected Railroad, and to secure to the city some right of taxation over the property of that corporation, and to protect the rights of the public at the crossings of said railroad over the streets and highways of the city. They were all voted down by a vote of six to four in the Second Branch Messrs. Meagher, Maloney, Betz, McMahon, Selden and Seebold being the six, and Messrs. Supplee, Dundon. Smith and Hart being the four.

The same curious uniformity of vote was exhibited in the First Branch. Thereupon the Committee of the Taxpayers' Association called a public meeting of citizens, to be held at the Concordia Opera House on May 7, to consider the interest and rights of the City in connection with this Belt Line Ordinance, which the Council had thus refused to amend in accordance with the wishes of citizens and the advice of the City Solicitor. This call appeared in the City papers and on the night of May the third Mr. John Cowen, Counsel of the Belt Line and of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- Sany, made an agreement with the of the Taxpayers' Association that if they would give up their public meeting he would have the amendments to the Ordinance adopted which had been rejected the preceding Monday night. The Ordinance, which was then in the hands of the Mayor for consideration, was reconsidered Monday night.

May 5, and promptly passed again by the Branches the same night, amended, as Mr. Cowen had agreed on Saturday night it should be amended. Thus amended, it was again sent to the Mayor, but it was still unsatisfactory to the property-holders of the Northern Annex and on North avenue. Accordingly they had a meeting'with the Mayor and the counsel of the Belt Railroad on the following Saturday, where Mr. Cowen again agreed that the Council should pass certain other amendments as required by some of the citizens of the Northern Annex, which they did on the following Monday night, thus carrying out the agreement made by Mr.

Cowen. It was at this meeting that I made the charge that the ordinance had been passed by corrupt means. Both branches of the Council on Monday night passed a supplementary ordinance embodying the amendments agreed to on their behalf by Mr. Cowen on the preceding Saturday. They first rejected amendments, then adopted them, tlie same men voting to adopt at one meeting what at their previous meeting they had rejected.

They adapted amendment- proposed, by the City Solicitor when accepted by Mr. Ctnven, and rejected amendments proposed by the law officer of the city when disapproved by the Counsel of the Railroad Company! And finally, at one meeting, withoutfreference to a Committee, without consideration and without debate, they pass an ordinance to carry out an agreement made by Mr. Cowen two days before. They obeyed orders like soldiers. The foregoing statement will show how much of deliberation there was in the action of the Council in passing the Ordinance, and how far their vote was the result of deliberation, and how far it was the result of the direction of Mr.

Cowen, counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio and of the Belt Line Company, after his treaty with the Taxpayers' Association, which prevented the contemplated public meeting of citizens. I have charged, and I reiterate the charge, that this so-called legislation was procured by impoper and corrupt means. You now invite me to submit the proofs of this charge to a committee appointed by the persons accused of the offense, the report of that committee to be passed upon by the accused themselves. 1 respectfully decline to become a party to such a farce.

Another Republican Protest Against Increased HENDERSON, OF IOWA, INSUBORDINATE. Be Offers an Amendment Which Fails by a Close Vote Maryland and the Tin-Plate Duty McKinley's Bate Likely to Be Defeated Mr. Stump's Argument. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington, May 16. There was an interesting discussion in the House today over the glass schedule iu the McKinley bill.

The particular point of attack was the proposed increase in the duty on student-lamp chimneys. A wild sensation was created when General Henderson, of Iowa, who was one of tbe asplrant3 lor the speakership, declared that he would not vote for any increase of duty unless the members of the committee could give good reason for the proposed increase. This declaration, coming from one of the recognized leaders on the republican side, was greeted by a burst of applause on the democratic side, while McKinley and other prominent republicans frowned upon the member from Iowa. Mr. Henderson followed up his statement by offering an amendment to maintain the present duty.

Upon a vote by tellers the amendment was defeated by a narrow margin of 107 to 104. Ten or twelve republicans voted with the democrats in support of the amendment. MARYLAND AND TIN-PLATE DUTY. Messrs. Daniel E.

Conklin and Gail, of Baltimore, were at the Capitol again today protesting against the proposed increase in the duty on tin-plate. They, saw a number of republican members, and Mr. Conklin says he is confident that a majority of the House will oppose the rate fixed in the bill, and will insist upon the retention of the present duty. The debate upon the tin-plate schedule will not begin before tomorrow or Monday, as the lead ore provision is apt to require considerable explanation. Representative Rusk is expected to participate in the debate on tin-plate, and Representative Stump also intended to submit his views to the House on this subject.

Mr. Stump expects to be absent for a few days and he took occasion today to file his remarks to be printed in tbe Record. They are as follows: "Mr. Chairman: Representing a district composed of a constituency largely engaged in canning industries.I rise to protest against the increase of tariff on tin-plate. "I believe that the necessary revenues for an economical administration of the government should be raised by a tax upon such manufactured goods imported into this country as come into competition with our manufactures, but so adjusted that no more revenue should be collected than is actually required, and so imposed that the necessaries of life should bear the least burden in proportion to cost, and that American workmen should have free raw material so as to compete for the markets of the world.

"No one contends that an additional duty on tin-plate is required to 'provide for the common defense or general welfare of the The title of the bill under which this increase of duty is sought to be imposed is 'A bill to reduce the revenue and equalize duties on The revenue collected under the present duty of 1 cent per pound and paid annually into the treasury by the consumer amounts to $7,000,000, and with the additional 1 cent per pound proposed.will make $14,000,000 to be paid annually by the people of the United States into a treasury already overflowing with a surplus illegally and unconstitutionally extracted from them to foster a private enterprise. And what excuse is offered for this outrage? The most ultra protectionists cannot Justify it; first, because there is no tin ore being mined in this country, and second, no tin-plate factory to protect. Then why not protect an industry that furnishes food for 15,000,000 of people and supplies the raw material for tin-roofing, kitchen and dairy purposes? a blow to the canning industry. "The canning business is an Infant industry and needs special protecting care. There are 1,900 factories in the canning business, scattered over the broad area of thirty-nine States and two Territories.

These concerns consume the entire product of 1,000.000 acres of land. The yearly output, according to recent compilations, is 40,000,000 cases, or 80,000,000 dozens. These products at the average market value the past year would amount to $60,000,000, of which the farmer and producer receives $10,000,000. Six hundred million cans are manufactured in Baltimore alone for fruit, vegetables and oyster packing. "The labor cost in canning products is very considerable, as the fruits and vegetables have to be planted, cultivated, harvested and then carefully prepared before they are ready for the process.

At least 2,000,000 people, including skilled and unskilled laoorers, are dependent on the success of the canneries; this includes the label manufacturers, tbe box manufacturers, canmakers, farmers and then-help, and the great swarms of men, women and children directly employed in gathering the products and packing the goods. WIPING OUT THE FARMER'S PROFIT. "Engaged in it are the farmers, who are no longer able to compete with the corn and whea-tgrowers of the West. They buy largely of the manufacturers of fertilizers to enrich their lands. The laborers are increased fourfold, and when the gathering and packing season commences fifty or one hundred hands are brought from the cities to each farm and given employment.

The cans and cases are sued ana tne gooas smppea to market. Five cents per dozen cans is considered a good profit on a farmer's pack, and the chairman of the ways and means committee says that the additional tax of one cent will only add three cents per dozen to the cost, and that cost to the tin can or outside wrapper of the goods, which is thrown away. The fact is it adds over four cents to tlie cost of one dozen cans, thus leaving only one cent profit. "The entire destruction of this industry, which is now languishing, is apparent to every one. It cannot stand this additional burden.

SPECULATING WITH THE PEOPLE'S MONEY. "But we are told that if this unnecessary, and therefore illegal, additional tax is imposed, some syndicate or company might be induced to manufacture tin-plate in this country, and that in a few years such syndicate or company might be able to reduce the price of tin-plate to the consumer and employ 23,000 men in making it. Whai right has the chairman of the ways and means committee to speculate with the hard earnings of the American people? What right has any political party to inaugurate a special business for a few favored capitalists and charge an established industry and every man, woman and child in the land with its support? Who are petitioning them to Impose this duty? From the testimony taken before the committee it seems that only two or three persons ask for it, and one of these, Mr. Cronemyer, is charged with saying that 'tin-plate could be made in this country at the present rate of duty and sold at a whilst men representing the whole canning business. North, South.

East and West, were before them protesting against its action. "It is said that there is tin ore in the Black Hills of Dakota. If so. why has it never been mined before? Why has it not been manufactured into tin-plate? The duty of 1 1-10 cents per pound from 1675 to 1882 and I cent per pouad on the manufactured article since has, in the course of fifteen years, taken nearly $100,000,000 in duties from the poorer classes of the people. Was this not a sufficient protective tariff to have stimulated this industry into existence? And no tin-plate manufactured yet.

The distinguished gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Butterworth) adds that it will cost $50,000,000 more before any company pays a dividend. "With the ore at our door, why was not the plate manufactured at home? With this protective tariff, why was not the ore imported from the Straits of Malacca and Australia, whence England (so says the gentleman-from Missouri, Mr. Niedringhaus) imports nine-tenths of all the ore she manufactures? With free ore, the Americans having a protective tariff of one cent per pound and the Englishman handicapped with freight charges, do you mean to say that an Englishman can undersell tbe American in the home market? No one will believe you. it is an insult to an American woraunan.

There must be other reasons why our own ore or foreign ore is not manufactured here. It is because tin-plate comes in competition with the highest protected iron industries of this country, antt that sneet-tron ror roonng and siding pays a better profit than tin, and hence tin should be excluded from that market. ENGLISHMEN CAPTURING OUR INDUSTRIES. "The iron men control the tin-plate output, and tbe iron manufacturers are the largest contributors to the republican campaign funds. The republican party promised to twist the lion's tail of free-trade England.

hat happened? The iree-traaers ot Eng land have been able to scud capitalists here and buy up the pet protected industies of this country, and, with others, are grinding the American laborer down to the starvation nrioes of tbe old country. This is the case to such an extent that this Congress has deemed it of the utmost importance that a joint committee of tbe Senate and House should Investigate the effect on immigration, ana incidentally on American wornmen, which is likely to follow the purchase of American industries by foreign capitalists. "The Englishman has control of all the tin ore in this country and abroad, and he owns the ore (if there is any) in the Black Hills of Dakota, except some owned there by a certain republican politician of the State of New York. If this is so, will not this legislation advance the interests of foreigners? Mr. McKinley, the chairman of the committee on ways and means, seems to thin it desirable to have tho English plant locate here.

This might be so under certain circumstances, but certainly not to the detriment ot millions of people interested in the sanning industries. "PROTECTION" A SYSTEM OF BRIBERY. "I have not seeu the farmer or laborer going before the committee asking for protection, but the committee claim that all the legislation in the bill will result in their benefit, but no intelligent farmer or laborer can find where any relief is afforded them. The republican majority are engaged in keeping in power their own political party. They have a bill pending to compel the ignorant negro to vote their ticket (the Lodge bill) for past services rendered them.

They endeavor to bribe the soldier with pensions, Beeking to have him forget the true iove of country which called him to the field in defense of the Union, the constitution and equal rights to all men. They give the manufacturing, banking and business interests ot tho country into the hands of capitalists for tho sinews of war when political contests are at hand. "One industry on a capital of $1,250,000 made a dividend of so Mr. Butler-worth says. How much should it have contributed? He further said that he could name capitalists whose profits exceeded the profits of all tbe agriculturists of any one State.

They create what they call a home market by prohibiting commercial intercourse with other nations; where the supply and price of the commodities to be sold are regulated by trusts, combinations and syndicates, fostered aud protected by such vicious legislation as is contained in this iniquitous measure; where the free American ci.izeu Is compelled to make his nurchases at such prices as are demanded, and where the American laborer is obliged to sell his labor at suon remuneration as is offered. "Truly the privilege classes and protected manufactures unaer tne present laws nave a monopoly, and are sitting In the temple ar-raved in nnrnln and fine linen, changrinir the money from the pockets of the hard working, struggling masses of the people into their own. "But the day of reckoning is at hand. Tbe time is coming quietly, steadily, certainly. It will come with the resistlessness of the mighty wind.

It will be the voice of an out raged and long suffering people. The tablet will be overturned and tho temple will no longer be a den of thieves. PARKER'S SENTENCE. The Secretary of the Navy today approved the findings and sentence in the conrt-mar- ttal case of niuiam n. Parker, executive officer of the Iroquots.

who was found guilty on a charge of drunk enness and sentenced to suspension from rank and dutv for eisrhteen months, and to retain his present number on the list of lieu tenant-commander during ttiat time, i ne testimony in this case showed that on the return of the Iroquois to San Francisco tsfter her memorable voyage, when she drifted unmanageable from the equator to the Aleutian Islands, Parker and many other officers and men were IU from the hardships they had passed through. The physicians prescribed stimulants for Parker, and though he bad formerly been a temperate man. Tie took too much, and was one day too much intoxicated to go on duty. PAY DIRECTOR LOOKER'S MISTAKE. Pay Director Looker acted a little too quickly when he resigned the office of pay-master-treneral in the navv a few davs ago.

If he had held back his resignation until the report ot the medical board ot survey naa reached the Secretary of the Navy he oould have been retired with the relative rank of commodore. By resigning, however, he goes back to the rank of captain, and will retire with that rank next year. The board of survey recommended that he be granted a year's leave, aud the surgeon-general in his indorsement on the report recommended that this report be approved if he gave up the office of pas-master-general. If, howover. he continued to hold that offiec, the surgeon-general recommended that he be ordered before a retiring board.

If the resignation had not come so soon there is no dou bt the secretary would have given him the chance to retire while yet chief of the bureau, thus giving him a commander's rank on tbe retired list.

The case of the steamer City of Berlin, of the Inman Line, seized recently for unlading her cargo at night, without a proper permit, was settled by Assistant Secretary TIchenor today in an "order directing her release on payment of a fine of $T50. This action was based on the belief that the owners of the vessel were not aware of the conduct of their agents until alter the goods had been landed. Tho Senate committee on pensions today submitted a favorable report on the bill to pension John Sharer, of Baltimore.

PHILADELPHIA AFFAIRS. Wreck of the American Life Insurance Co. Prohibition Opposition to Vaux. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Philadelphia. May 16.

There are strong indications that criminal prosecutions will result from the wrecking of the American Life Insurance Company. The policy-holders have arranged for a meeting at the Board of Trade rooms for the avowed purpose of determining what charges to prefer against the officers. Lawyer William C. Hannis says that of the $700,000 of loans held by the com- fiany $478,000 were lent to the president of be company. Senator Macfarlane, on collaterals now pronounced worthless by tho insurance commissioner.

He also says that the insolvency of the company was acknowledged in March, when money was borrowed to pay off all depositors at the exense of the policy-holders. It is observed that the loan made to the president is about equal to the value of the stock held by him, and it is suspected that he gained control by purchasing the stock with money borrowed from the company, using this same stock as collateral. This would explain his sudden rise of fortune, for at the time he was elected president he was a school teacher on Chestnut Hill. He has served for some years as a member of the State Senate. The Real Estate Title Insurance and Trust Company took charge of the insurance company today as receiver.

George F. Work, who was the head of the Macfar-lane-Pfeiffer syndicate, is still absent from the city. One of his friends said that perhaps he was in the South looking after his business interests there, but no other suggestion of information about bim could be had. MR. TABI'8 OPPONENT.

Hiram De Walt has been nominated for Congress in the Third District by the prohi-bitionlste. The bigcrest vote ever polled by that party in the district was 1128 for tne prohibition amendment. Prohibition candidates seldom o-et over 25 votes in the district, but Mr. De Walt expects to get some republicans to vote for him.as they it inexpedient" to name a candidate. The fact is they were afraid of the possible effect on the tariff discussion of a contest in the third district on the issue of tariff reform.

Mr. Vaux it may be confidently declared, will have an almost umanimous vote, but it will have no political significance with only a prohibitionist in opposition. big price for a church. Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, one of the wealthiest in the city, has bought the old Western M. E.

Church, on Twentieth street, below Walnut, for $95,000. This is a very big price for a lot 75 by 96 feet, for the building itself is valueless. The property adjoins that of Holy Trinity, and will be used as the site of a new parish building. miscellaneous notes. Mayor Fttler is sitting down hard on street musicians.

Teagle, a colored woman, died at West Chester, leaving an estate of to her husband and niece.

Subsequently a man named Clayton appeared and claimed that he was a son of Mrs. Teagle by a former marriage. The other relatives denied that she had ever had a son, and this was demonstrated today by the medical testimony of Dr. Formad. The will case will now be pressed to an issue before the courts.

In the House of Lords today the Marquis of Salisbury declared that the statement that Germany in requested England to join an offensive and deiensive alliance was utterly untrue.

Prince Bismarck, he said, was conversant with English institutions and knew that it was impossible for any English minister to conclude such a treaty. Equally baseless was the report of estrangement between Germany and England when the present Emperor of Germany ascended the throne. The relations between the two nations were then, as now, of tbe friendliest character. Stanley to Explore the Connubial State. London.

Vandyke's Reply Judge Wilson Defines the Report. Saratoga, N. May 16. The great debate on the revision of the confession of lath began in the Presbyterian General Assembly here today. The committee on methods of effecting changes in the confession of faith and the constitution of the church, consisting of ministers William H.

Roberts, James T. Leftwicu and Evard Kempsball and ruling elders William Strong and Robert N. Wilson reported unanimously. After reciting its appointment by the General Assembly of lbtC and its continuance by those of 1S88 aud lb" and its recommendation that the overtures from the uresbvteries of Waterloo, Louisville and Chicago be re ferred to a special committee to report to mis ueuerai Asseinuiy, it nan REPOHT OF THE COMMITTEE. First That since the differences of opinion as to tne methods ot amendment or tne con fession of faith and the larger and shorter catechisms are so marked and widespread, that it is unwise to raise tbe issues iuvolved In the General Assembls-.

Second That this church has alwavs con sidered its doctrines of such vital importance that changes in the doctrinal standards should be made under greater restrictions than changes or alterations in the form of government, the book or discipline ana the directory of worship. Third That the methods of doctrinal alteration should tie included in the const, tution itself and in definite terms. Fourth That the church, sneaking offi cially through the presbyteries, can alone de termine with authontv the ouestlons at issue. and therefore the committee recommends that the question be transmitted to tbe presbyteries whether there shall be added to the form of government chapter xxiu ot amendments providing: First For tbe proposal by the General Assembly to the presbyteries of amendments or alterations of the form of government, book of discipline nnd directory for worship, but that these shall not be obligatory unless a majority of all the presbyteries approve in writing. Second That alterations in the doctrinal standards shall not be proposed to the presbyteries unless they have been under consideration for one year by a committee of not lees than fifteen ministers and ruling elders, not more than two of whom shall be from any one synod.

Third. No alteration shall be made In the provisions of this chapter for changes in tbe doctrinal standards unless an overture from the General Assembly submitting the proposed alterations shall be transmitted to all the presbyteries and be approved in writing by two-thirds of them. Fourth The General Assembly must transmit to the presbyteries any overture submitted to it by one-third of all the presbyteries. Fifth Anyamendment sosubmittedand approved shall go into effect immediately after the General Assembly shallthave certified the act. The committee also recommended that the presbyteries be directed to answer the overture as a whole by a simple yea or nay, to be reported to the stared clerk in time to be presented to the next General Assembly.

PRESIDENT PATTON'S SPEECH. President Patton, of Princeton, in opening the great debate on this report, said that it was praiseworthy tor its fairness and conservatism. He objected, however, to two main features in it. First, it denies to this assembly its legislative rights. Some have denied that it has these rights, and the committee has apparently taken that view.

Its report says that the assembly can only count the votes of the presbyteries and declare the result. What are we here for if not to legislate? But, second, this takes away from the assembly not only the riarut to legislate, but also that of deliberating. Suppose one-third of the pres-bvteries overture the assembly for any given change in the doctrinal standards. This report gives the assembly no option. It must send down the overture to the presbyteries, and if two-thirds adopt or approve it the assembly has no choice but to declare tbe cbanare, no matter how radical or revolutionary.

Adopted. These objections, which lie on the surface, are enough to kill it. But there are some that lie deeper. In Moore's digest of Presbyterian law we read the olio wuiur declaration: "The assembly order that the Westminster confession is, and is to continue to be our law, unless two-thirds of the presbyteries propose changes desired, and in that case the assembly is to enact that the change be made." It does not declare it only, but enacts it. In tbe adopting act of 1788 this was tbe principle down.

There are two laws that control us, the original adopting law and the so-called barrier act, which was put into limit the legislative power of the assembly. This barrier act was adopted from the Scotch Church to make it certain that the assembly shall not legislate without due deliberation by the presbyteries. But, second, some say that the assembly has repeatedly ignored the adopting act. The fact is that there never have been any changes made in the doctrinal standards, although it has sent down to the presbyteries overtures that have not been approved by the necessary two-thirds. It has indeed taken part in making changes in the Book of Discipline, but never in doctrine.

But they say the adopting act was made in 1788, and is not now binding; Why? When was it vacated? But they say that tho adopting act was never put In the constitution. That may be, but it is in a surer place In the loyalty of the church to that adopting act which is the present and the unrepeatable law of the church. By saying two-thirds are necessary you indorse the act, which fixes two-thirds of the presbyteries as the number of presbyteries which must propose any change. Therefore you cannot make a cbabge in any way that invalidates that adopting act. The speaker hoped that this act would be printed hereafter in the book of discipline as tbe unalterable law of the Presbyterian Church.

I implore the assembly, he said, to move slowly in these critical times, when a single false step may lead us we know not where and involve us in difficulties which we dare not anticipate. DR. VANDYKE'S REPLY. The Rev. Dr.

Henry Vandyke, of New York, said: "I am delighted with the report, and not at all convinced by the eloquent speech of the brother who had just spoaen, and whom 1 love well enough to deal with in all frankness. I knew all about the adopting act before he was born. He said that the report was a concession. To whom? Why did he twice intimate that the minority, if defeated, would appeal to the civil courts? I would cut off my right hand before I would do that were I in a minority. 1 do not see anything in the report that denies, but I denv the legislative power of this assembly.

There is no line in the digest that confers that power. u.ne presDytery existed before the General Assembly and never gave it legislative power. He says that this report ignores and annuls the adopting act, but if there are a hundred years of president behind it. That act says that the intent of the ratification is to put the book of discipline on the same basis as the doctrinal standards. He charces us with intending to claim that the adopting act is not now of binding force.

Who says that? This report does not so amend, is not set aside, which would indeed be revolutionary to retain two-thirds as the proportion necessary to change a doctrine; but to make a single majority enough to change tbe book ot discipline is only to make a change in detail that does not affect tbe substance. I do not believe that any civil court would say that we have during the last hundred years been annulling the adopting act. The presbyteries, meeting in quiet, are more fit to exercise legislative power than this assembly, to which they never gave such power. To propose is not to take the initiative. There can be no action to change tbe standards, except by mutual co-operation between the assembly and presbyteries.

This report seems to me a peace measure prescribing a fair and practical method of coming to an un derstanding. Dr. Patten proposes in effect to give a power to an assembly. meeting for two weeks, to annul, wipe out and bang up in the air the deliberate action and preference of two-thirds ot the presby teries, which are the supreme judiciary of the church. I like the report because it clears the way for the conservative and safe revision of the standards.

Were I an anti-revisionist I would oppose it, as Dr. Patten does, but for twenty-five years I have been growing convinced mat revision is sure to come. You can no more stop it than you can keep back the spring by piling up last winter's the report analyzed. Judge Robert N. Wilson, of Philadelphia.

spoke wholly as a member of the committee. He said: "1 don't think this should be mixed up with another great question that will come before this assembly. The report was not made primarily to favor revision or anti-revision. It was framed as the best way to extricate the church irom a conflict as to the force and meaning of the adopting act, which has gone on ever since its enactment. That act nas again and again been discredited or modified by the action of both assembly and presbyteries.

The report harmonizes both in spirit and detail with tbe adopting act. In making the report we aimed to keep what is vital and at the same time to put the great essential principle forever hereafter beyond dispute, except by those bound to have a fight anyway. Dr, Crosby prefers to have the report more explicit in a certain point, and I agree to that. This report does not interfere with the legislative power of the assembly, if it has anr. but, on the other hand, gives it power of conservation and regulation.

Practically any amendment to the standards must be formulated in the assembly because the presbyteries have not the needed facilities for consultation. They may propose, but the assemblv' must co-ordinate their propositions, the assembly ought not to have so much legislative power as to veto amendments proposed by one-third of the presbyteries and adopted by two-thirds of them. President Fatten has no legal foundation for his argument that the adopting act is tbe unalterable law of the church. Could not the power that ras ie It repeal it? Is it superior to its creator? It is a narrow view. Tha adopting action is indeed a fundamental law.

but no more so than the constitution of the church. It is well known what has been the course of opinion on this point, Iho Book of Discipline and form of government were put on the same basis as the confession of faith by the adopting act. That act seems to have been largely framed for the very purpose or facilitating oraeviy ana peaceable amendments, and not by any means was it meant to be a straight jacket that could never be enlarged or altered in shape. Judge George Junkln, of Philadelphia, wanted the assembly to understand that he was one of those narrow men who want to go according to law. He said: "We are endeavoring to settle a principle more important than even the question of revision of the Two to be Elected The Voting to Begin Monda St.

Louis, May 16. The General Conference of the Methodist Ep.jcopal Church South received a report fro a the committee on episcopacy recommend- jg the election of two bishops, one to take place of Bishop McTyeire, deceased, and he other bishop of a new see to be created.

Hon. J. G. Carlisle has been nominated by acclamation by the democratic caucus for United States Senator. The nomination would almost certainly have been made last night had not Dr.

W. H. Norman, the member from Henderson, without consultation, announced that he had ail along voted for Mr. Knott, but he no looge? believed Mr. Knott could win and he would Ksupport Mr.

Carlisle. This angered the Knott men ana tney rained and, with all the other opposition, secured tbe adjournment. Mr. Carlisle's leaders have been uneasy all day over this incident. When the caucus assembled tonight, however, with instructions for Carlisle received during the dav from several constituencies, and with, the general sentiment for Mr.

Carlisle becoming steadily stronger, their anxiety was found to be groundless. At the opening Representative Settle, in a neat speech, withdrew his name from the contest. Then Representative Cooper, for ex-Governor Knott, withdrew his name amid enthusiastic cheers from Carlisle's friends. The ballot was then taken, and stood: Carlisle, 52; Lindsay, 33; McCreary, 30. Senator Smith then withdrew McCreary and the fight was ended.

The ninth ballot, all counted, was taken, ana- the announcement "Carlisle, 72," made. when above the wild cheering, was heard a strong voice moving to make the nomination unanimous by acclamation. Tbe motion was carried. Carlisle's vote gave him 13 majority. There is generalconRTatulation here tonight over the is in harmony with tlie wishes of a large majority oi the voters of the State.

The newspaper offices here were serenaded. and a crowd marched through the streets, cheering in honor of the event. Big Fire rt Hbamokln, Pa. Shamokin. May 16.
