The Relative Function of Elders

form.

STAUNToN, May 2l-Afer the opening
prayer in the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, to-day Dr.. Girardeau Of South Caro-
lima, the Chairman, read along and exhaus-
tive report on the deacomte, in which she
relative functions of deacms and elders were
ably discussed. Dr. Girardeau is the organ
izer and former pastor Of the great coiored
congregation of Charleston, a body having
a membership of abou: 1000 with taoer-
nacle of immense size, the lot upon Wnicn IL
was built having cost $50. 900. He is now Pro-
fessor of Theology Ia the newly established
seminary at Columbia The report was an
elaborate argumeHt 10 support Of the reform
movement, though 1t was not read In direct
connection with hat subject.
The order Of tie day being the report on
retrenchment ard reform, DR.. Adger moved
that the whole matter be postponed until
Monday apd taken up after Dr.. Girardeau's 9
report had been discussed.
DR.. Lefevre, who isrecognized as the lead
er In opposition to the reform movement, Ia
vored the postponement of action on the
deacorate report until the next Assembly.
After considerable discussion, pSrtici-
paJed in by q number of most prominent
delegates, the order of the day waa taken
up Oy an overwhelming majority. This
was looked upon as somewhat of test
question, and the result is believed to have
clearly foreshadowed the defeat of the re-
formers represented by the minority report
Of the committee, to which the subject had
been referred at previous Assembly.
DIR. Hopkins, of Virginia, then presented
the majority report on Reform" 1t recon-
mended, first, that the fYe executive com
mittees of the Assembly be continued as at
present, and that the publication and edi-
tton committees shall hereafter publish
monthly Acknowledgements of all receipts
into their treasury. Second, that infiu-
ence be exerted on the lower courts to
bring about rigid Inspection of all ac-
counts and the systematic and exact man
agment OF money matters by all deconate
officers. In support of his report DR.. Hop
kins spoke long and earnestly, and had not
concluded when the Assembly adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May 2L-At meeting held
here this evening, which was largely at
tended by prominent citizens and those ac-
lively interested in benefcent organizations,
constitution was reported by a committee
previously appointed which was adopted as
the bass Of an organization to be known as
the Ked Cross Society. Judge William
Lawrence presided, and spoke briefly of the
great WORK accomplished by the Red Cross
Societies during the wars which have dis
turoed Europe and other countries since the
organization was created in 1864. He re-

Cross Societies In twenty-seVen countries
Wnere the order is recognized by the gov
ernment and accorded the powers and
privileges which are asked for 1t in the
United States. John Stitz, the Swiss Con-
5uAS SPOAS "dEH1Ay III support OF the p1an
for organizing Red Cross Society in this
country, and speeches were made by several
others TO the same end.
Great interest in the subject of organizing
the society in the United States has been
manifested of late, although the matter is
by no means new. The United St. ties Gov.
ernment was represented In the Geneva
Convention of 1864, which was the Initiative
meeting of the Red Cross, but its delegates
were no accredited with power to commit
the government to the results of the conVen-
tion. They, however, presented articles OF
a treaty to the United States Gov
eminent In due time. They were
not acted upon then. The treaty
was again presented in 1866 by Rev. DR.
Bellows, Of New York, who formed In New
York city Red Cross Association, but moth
ing came OF 1t. 1t was again presented In
1910, when the International Commiss ION at
Geneva addressed letter to the President
The subject was very favorably aud warmly
received by Messrs. Hayes and EYartss but
no action was taken.
On the incoming of the administration of
Gen. Garfield the treaty was presented for
the fourth time, and with the assurances
given by Secretary Blaine that the President
and himself were very desirOus Of adopting
the treaty, and as 1t requires legislative sAc-
ton, the assurance has been given that; it
will be fully recommended to the next Com
gress. Several Cabinet officers and manly
army officials are very warm supporters an
ardent advocates of the cause, notably
Secretaries Blaine, Window and Lincoln,
Generals Sherman, Grant, Sheridan, Town
send, Rucker and Assistant Surgeon GEM :
raj Crane. A further meeting OF the socie
ty for election of officers will shortly he
held.

LONDON, May 2t.--i1 the election at

in favor of Henry Yates Thompson, the
Liberal candidate,in consequence OF the ad-
vocacy Of Irish rights by the Pail Mall Ga

tor, and the pronounced Conservative vic
tory creates a sensation.
The Standard sharply criticises the speech
of Lord Salisbury at the banquet Thursday
night. 1t says: t'The attitude prescribed
for the House Of Lords may be heroic and
epirited, but is it practical statesmanship?
There was no reason why he should men

why he should not, but that on the very
night of the discussion of the bill In the
House of Commons he should have dis
missed the whole subject as an ebullitiou of

lous 10 be seriously discussed, is much to be
regre tied"
The Daily Telegraph also condemns Lord
Salishury's speech, but anticipates that his
action will be wiser than his words.
The Spectator, referring to the speech, ex-
presses the fear that the risk of the rejection
of the bill by the House of Lords has been
grievouslY increased. "Nothipg more Sc
