The PreSbyterians,

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Presbytery
occupied yesterday and to-day in a
spirited discussion Of the resolutions
introduced by Rev. DR.. Herrick
Johnson, regarding the organic union
with the Southern Church. The
clause which provoked discussion
says: eve cannot consent to the
establishment Of separate African
Presbyterian Church or to any pro-
visional arrangement looking forward
to organization of such Church. /"
Many of the ministers seem to think
adoption of such resolution would lay
between the North and South. After a
long debate substitute by DR.. Wor-
ster was adopted as follows Resolved
That this Presbytery Is heartily in
favor of reunion with the South
ern church on the basis OF our
common standard, pure and
simple. DIR. Worster wished tc
add, "and the equal rights Of
all disciples of Christ in every court
of Christ's church," but after dis
cussion this was laid on the table.
DIR. Worster said that the question
of color line is a great question to
answer, and if it comes to the alterna-
tive between sectional line and color
line in the church, he wished it ur.
derstood he preferred the sectional
line. The church has no right to es-
tablish a caste.

WaShiugt0n Notes,

1t is stated that the correspondence
between this country and Germany
relative to the seizure of the Samoan
Islands, still continues. The chances
are that if the Germans do not move
out of their own accord the American
Government will take no active steps to
dispossess them.
The State Department has received
no information regarding the hosting
Of the British flag over the Christmas,
Tanning and Pen Rhyn Islands. The
United States lay claim to but one
island in the Pacific Ocean, which is
held by right of discovery. 1t is
stated, therefore, that if the British
have taken possession of the above
mentioned islands, this Government
could no more than protest, even il
their occupation was worth this effort
Chairman Blanchard, of the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors,
says that he has discovered the secret
of the opposition which suddenly de.
veloped and defeated the River and
Harbor bill yesterday. He declares
large number of Republican Repre-.
sentatives held a caucus or secret
meeting and resolved to oppose the
passage of the bill. AS means o.
obstructing the passage of the Tariff
bill they calculated the friends of the
formor bill would be forced to defend
it, even to the extent OF antagonizinl
tariff legislation. Blanchard expects
another effort will be made to pass the
River and Harbor bill in a week OF
two, when further obstructive tactics
are looked for, but he declares he fol
one will not be driven to iantagonize
the Tariff bill. qas
Secretary Fairchild gave notice yes
terday afternoon that Monday, April
23d, and daily thereafter at noon
until further notice, that proposals
will be received in the Office of the
Secretary of the Treasury for the sale
of Government United States bonds
issued under the acts OF July IA, 1870
and January 20, 1871. The proposals
should state the specific character O.
the bonds offered, Whether coupon OF
registered, and must be for the sale o.
bonds with accrued interest to and in
cluding the date OF sale. The right is
reserved to reject any and all pro
posals for the sale of bonds if it il
thought to be for the interest of the
Government to do so.

PARIS, April 17.-Small crowds coli
lected in portions of Paris last night,
cheering for General Boulanger. The
police dispersed them without any
trouble.
The Journal des Debats says that the
election of General Boulanger in the
department of the Nord shows the
country is wearied out and profoundly
disguised with the conduct and policy
of the Government.
The majority Of the electors, it says.
can no longer endure government
which does not govern, but leaves the
country prey to the vacillations and
dissensions of politicians and the
tyranny of the electoral committees.
The Opportunists attempted to hold
a conference at Bordeaux last evening,
but were disturbed by supporters
of General Boulanger and were corn
PEELED to suspend the proceedings.

THE END AT LAST.
Mr.. Conkling died at .5OAM

Mr.. Conkling died at ] 80 AN.
At the bedside of the dying mar
were Mrs. Conkling, Judge Coke, Dr..
Anderson and Mrs. Oakman. Mr..
Conkling passed away without mov-
ing a limb. He looked as though
peacefully sleeping. There were a
number of persons outside and on the
street waiting to catch the
last report. Within doors there
were between forty and fifty
persons also waiting to hear the
worst. They were composed chiefly
Of representatives of the press and
friends of the dead Senator.
Mr.. Conkling died in the rear
chamber on the second floor OF his
residence. 1t was dreadful struggle
and the patient fought against death,
said Judge Cox, but the end
was peaceful and unaccompanied
by pain. His sorrowing wife
and daughter were weeping at
his side, but the once keen eyes were
glazed and set in struggle. Mrs.
Mrs. Conkling and her daughter both
bore up bravely, but the vile was the
most Frustrated. Mrs. Oakman sup
ported her mother. An ashcn pallor
deepened upon the emaciated face.
Mr.. Conkling gasped three or four
times and passed away. In death
the lines about the mouth and face
were slightly drawn. He was much
emaciated, but still in death the face
seemed natural.
Immediately after his death Judge
Cox and DR.. Anderson left the house.
No arrangement can be made tonight
for the funeral Arrangements will
be definitely settled when Mrs. Conk-
ling becomes more composed. Judge
Cox said that in death Mr.. Conkling's
mouth was slightly open as though he
had died with gasp. Mrs. Conkling
is alone with her daughter and is com.
pletely Frustrated with grief. The
interment will be at Utica.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE Berlin Posi-
suggests that Floquet, De Freycinet
and Goblet should warn General
Boulanger that he is unnecessarily
playing dangerous game in aiming
at the Dictatorship. They should, It
says, after declaring war, send him T.
conduct operations, telling him if he
is victorious the Sovereignty of France
will fall to him, while If defeated he
will avoid the further disgrace Of
being an usurper.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE VIM.
Cramp & Sons ship and engine build
ers company have nearly completed a
dynamite cruiser gun-boat, called
Yorktown" and designed for the
United States navy. 1t will be
launched on Saturday, April 2Sth, in
the presence Of Secretary Whitney.
1t carries four pneumatic guns for the
hurling of dynamite projectiles, each
with range of at least mile.
Training of the guns is ac-
complished by steering vessel
and the loading is all done by steam.
The guns are of 15-inch caliber and
the shells, which can be fred with
great accuracy twice minute. will
contain 600 pounds Of explosive gela-
tine, equivalent to S52 pounds OF
dynamite or 946 pounds Of gun cotton.
1t is claimed that this gun, properly
handled, will be the most destructive
engine of war yet invented. The
heaviest armored vessels in the world
will go all to pieces from the explosion
Of a shell much smaller than those
thrown by the guns on the Yorktown.

The other children we're so badly

ing that the great increase of duties
made during the war had been at the
time they were made stated to be

century later these duties were higher
than BY were during the war and
they now averaged 47.10 per cent. on

the $4,000, 900 annually realized from
that source was swept away, but the
war tax on clothing, on food, on i'm.

the war was still being prosecuted
against the people-exhausting in its
demands-and every effort to remove
or lower that taxation had been
RESISTED AND DEFEATED.
There had been tax on railroads
