AUGUSTA, GA, May 24.-The evolution
discussion occupied Today in the Presby-
terrain General Assembly. DR.. @. d..

port in a logical speech. He said this
/ church should remain close to her anchor
of formulated creed. Her standards OF
/ belief were not to be fitted with private
or personal interpretations, He con-
demned DR.. WOOdrow's theory as dan
gerous. He declared that the Presby-
teliau Church allows wide liberty, but
would not tolerate a mischieVous error
like tins.
GENESIS A HISTORY.
Or. Armstrong said he believed the
Book OF Genesis was historical account
Of the creation, and that the Garden OF

ton. DR., Woodrow replied this after

the cnurch not to make any positive de-
liVcrance upon the story Of the creation
of man. The church lad generally erred

scientists. Was the church never to
learn anything? DIR. Woodrow declared
that the scriptures did not pretend to
teach history, geography, or science. DR..
Armstrong; committee could not say
lHdI mans creation was an immaculate
act without animal parentage.
THE NEW DOCTRINES DANGEROUS.
DR.. Holiteld, Of st. Louis, replied in
short speech, which was gracefully de-
lIvered. He said the church was alarmed.
The evolution of these new doctrines was
dangerous.
DR. + linn, of Mobile, followed and spoke
two hours. He praised DR.. Woodrow as
a scientist, and said: ave must not

Boat and Her Cargo Not Worth the

Crew.
PORTLAND, May 24.-Portland' turn has
come and is greatly excited over it. This
morning Capt. Jesse Ellis entered at the
custom house his schooner The Sisters,
from Yarmouth, N. s., with cargo Of
10000 mackerel taken last Wednesday,
and consigned by W A. Kellain, OF Y ar
mouth, to +. F. Clement 81 Co, of this
city. Capt. Ellis signed the customary
oath that his report and manifest cor
rectly described the cargo of his vessel.
Deputy Collector Goldsmith then asked
for the manifest. II have nome" re-
piled Capt. Ellis. Collector Goldsmith
expressed his sorrow that the Captain
should have been caught without his
papers, but told him that nothing could
be done in his case, and that be must, in
the usual course of law, pay the fine i'm
posed by law.
"How 20 asked the Captain.

lectoT Goldsmith.

sented picture of distress.
Nothing could be done for him, and
Surveyor Bradbury sent Inspector Howe
10 take formal charge of the schooner.
This done, Capt. Eli and his crew were
allowed TO 90 on discharging their cargo.
1t was pathetic to see the Captain and
crew of the wretched little schooner dis
charging the cargo that the government
Of the United States will claim. Capt.
Ellis counted out the fish, but he had little
heart in his work.
He was asked what he had to say.
In broken voice he replied, "Noth-
ing"
SORROW OF THE CREW.
Alone and tending the windlass was
one OF the crew who was more inclined to
talk. He SAID: "I'll get my pay won't

out dollar? What have | done? What
has the skipper done? We DIDN'T do any
thing more than common. They won't
take the schooner from us will they!
Another of the crew thought it must be
all right because the fish are as good as
they can be.
Secretary Bayard has been informed of
the seizure.

reporter. He said: Coming at this time
