Oppositi0n 60 sne Celebration Of
Tom Moore's Birshdsy.
NEW York, May 29tb.-There is
much opposition to the proposed
celebration of the hundredth birth
day of Tom Moore to-day; first, on
the part of the Irish, because they
allege he was English In his feel-
iDgs, and second, on the part Of the
Americans, because he called the
people of this country barbarians,
and lampooned alike our citizens,
our nation and our form of govern
ment.

The New York street Railway
strike.
New YORK, May 2Sth. - The
strike of horse shoers and stable.
men on our city railroads is about
ended without the increase of pay
demanded. The Third.avenue
line, where the strike began, re-
ports full force of new men. The
Second-avenue line has all the
men needed, the Company paying
So rs instead of So, and employing
some of the workmen from the
Third-avenue line who wanted
So 80. The Bsltline is also supplied
at So 25 for horse-sheers and ST. 25
for stablemen. The Forty-second
and Grand-street ferry line is still
somewhat short of horse-shoers,
but the places of the strikers are
gradually being filed. On other
lines the trouble seems virtually
over for the present.
Other Strikes.
NEW YORK, March 2Sth.-The
women tapestry weavers in Hig-
gins & Co.'s carpet factory, who

the Presbyterian Assembly.
SARATOGA. N. Y, May 29th.-
In the Presbyterian Assembly this
morning, discussion continued on
the question of reaffirming the de-
liverapce of the Assembly of 1875
upon the validity of Catholic bap.
tism. The following was eventual
ly adopted:
Resolved, That this Assembly,
in full accordance with the words
Of our Confession of Faith respect
ing the Church of Rome and its So
called spiritual baptism, do now re-
affirm that the deliverance upon
this subject of the Assembly Of
1885 as applying to the Romish
hierarch headed by Pope, falsely
claiming to be the Church, which
is opposed absolutely to the doc
trines of the Holy Scripture, Is
corrupting and degrading a large
part of Christ's Church, oveI
which 1t has usurped control.
After adopting the usual compli-
mentary resolutions, the Assembly
| adjourned.
