CENTENARY SERVICES.

Interesting Pre-Centennial Obssrvances
at the Presbyterian Churches, Sunday.
Preparatory to complete, uniform and
national observance of the one-hundredth
anniversary of definite Presbyterianism in
America, interesting services were held in
all the Presbyterian churches in the coun-
try, yesterday, Sunday. The day was fit
tingly observed in Springfield. A large
congregation assembled at the First Pres
byterian church Sunday forenoon and list
ened to an admirable lecture by the pastor,
DIR. W. c. Falconer, upon the his
tory, rise and present of the Pres
byterian faith. The large church. was
completely filled and DR.. Falconer's ad-
dress met with just such a reception its
character and merits demanded. He traced
the origin Of the faith, its sweeping pro-
gress, numerically, and the magnificent
present 1t now enjoys. He felt, he said,
somewhat of the same temerity In discus
sing this theme that a gentleman feels
when interrogsted upon the set, finish and
fabric of suit which he knows to be of the
best. He does not feel like dwelling upon
Its acknowledged merits, but when occa-
sion demands he can tell just what ii is and
its origin. So it is with Presbyterianism.
DR.. Falconer's address, while able and
scholarly, was of principal interest to fol-
lowers of the faith, and was largely histo-
rical and statistical. The choir yesterday
rendered an exceptionally fine programme
gramme of music.
Similar services were held at the Second
Presbyterian church, and the attendance
there was also large. DR.. Fullerton
preached an able historical sermon.

among the intruiers, who are organized,
and declare they will not recognize the de-
cisions of the Cherokee courts for the COM

citizenship are now summoning all the in
truders before them 10 show cause why

give them ninety days to dispose of or sell
their property, citizens, and after that date
they will be elected from the Nation by the
authorities of the several districts.

THE CRISES IN THE EAST.
The Bulgarian Question Approaching q
Definite Settlement.

ST. PETERSBURG, February s7.-It is re-
ported that General Obrutchof chief of the
general staff has proposed 10 the council TO
put in circulation 2OO. 0o0, 600 rubles in gold
now held in reserve as a war fund. He
urges that the fund will not be wanted un-
less war breaks out with Turkey or among
some indignent people, where bullion will
be necessary to procure supplies. In the
event of war with Austria and Germany, he
argues, Russia, if defeated, would not re-
quire gold in order TO provision the troops,
as the campaign would be continued on ber
own territory while. if victor she would
find everything she wanted without pay
ment on invading the enemies country.
Ii is said that the Gar was induced to
make his declaration i'll regard TO Bulgaria
by the earnes. request of Emperor Will
liam. who expressed the desire 10 see the
question settled before his death. The
statement which appeared in the Official
Messenger was handed to Count Herbert
Bismarck for the chancellor three days be-
fore it was published.
SOFIA, Feb. 27.-It is stated that the gov
ernment-of Bulgaria has firmly resolved 10

Bulgaria will not be modified by the hesi-
tstion shown in other quarters; and it re-
iterates that the adhesion Of the powers is
not necessary to secure the the Porte's ac-
ceptance of the proposals.
Adyices from ST. Petersburg affirm that
Turkey has declared her readiness on re-
ceiving collective not from the powers, TO
notify Ferdinand that his position is illegal
and untenable.
Other reports credit the Gar with will
ingness to meet Austrian views by relin-
gushing his demand for Russian war

providing Austria accepts hi, proposal for
coercive measures, including the blockade
