SENATORS AND THE TARIFF.
They May Add Few More Articles
to the Free List.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The tariff sub
committee of the Senate Committee on
Finance held its first meeting to-day, at
which general discussion of the plans and
purposes took place. The subcommittee
will probably hold daily meetings here
after. From the developments at this
mornings meeting it appears probable that
there will be- a substantial agreement upon
the administrative features of tariff
bill; in short, that the Senate under valua
tion bill will be added to any tariff bill that
may be sent over from the House;
also, that the two sides will sub
stantially agree in respect to the
removal of the incongruities and
Inconsistencies of the present customs law,
many of which have been called to the at
tention of Congress by Secretaries of the
Treasury. 1t is also thought probable that
both parties will assent to the putting of q
number of new articles on the free list, but
beyond this point it is expected that the
sub committee will divide upon strictly
party lines, that is in respect to the new
rates to be established upon dutiable articles
The committee will give hearing to per-
sons affected by the tariff. member of
the Republican majority said to-day that
the Senate bill would include free sugar,
with bountles) but not free wool; free to-
bacco, but not free whisky.

SOLDIERS ON DRESS PARADE.
Macon's Southern Cadets Put Up a
Magnificent Drill.

NASHVILLE, TENN, May 25-Tho crowd
that gathered at Westside Park this after
noon was the largest ever seen on the
grounds. 1t was estimated at from 10, 900
TO 10000, the sham battle being. of course,
the attraction of the dav. The programme
opened with drill by the Rockville lind J
Battery, orgapi2ed in 1888, which has always
stood well in former contests Their
work was exceedingly fine They ex-
celled their former efforts and went through
tho different evoutions with precision.
The Southern Cadets, of Macon, Ga,
came next. This was their first appearance
in competitive contest, but they put up a
magnificent drill, and were cheered again
and again.
Tho famous Merchants Zouaves. of
Memphis, now entered the arena. They
exhibited great precision in all their move
ments, aud only "A few points will separate
them aud the Linck Zouaves When they
that they stand a good chance Of winning
the first prize.
LoUIsIANA's ARTILLERY.
The next aspirant for the honors Of the
drill was Battery A, of the Louisiana Ar
tillery. Their past record is one to be
proud Of. Coming after the Rockvilles, an
idea could be formed of their relative
merits. The crowd was about evenly di-
vided in opinion.
To the ever-inspiring "Dixie" tho Witt
Rifles, of Columbia, Tenn, marched upon
the grounds. This company had already
been a competitor for the State prize, and
this time they entered into the interstate
contest.
A broadsword contest followed between
Maj. Landstreet, of the Kansas City sword
team, and Maj Mcguire, of the British
army. Maj. Mcguire was an easy victor.
At 5 o'clock the sham battle began, the
opposing forces being commanded by Gems.

woman who was fined $50 yesterday for
keeping house of ill-repute, tried to COM
mi suicide. She was in the patrol wagon
going. to the stockade, and, when tho wagon
was in front of the Catholic Church, Sue
pulled out a small bottle of laudanum and
swallowed its contents. She was taken
back to police headquarters and physician
sent for. She refused to take an emetic,

enough and desired to die. She was exer-
cised for several hours, until considered out
of danger.
A TICKET SwINDLER.
Tho East Tennessee railroad officials will
tender their employees an excursion to Pow
der Springs tomorrow. Each employe of
the road is given ten tickets which he is
allowed to distribute among his friends.
To-day about noon it was discovered that
the town was flooded with bogus tickets,
which had boon sold by unknown parties at
very low prices, some as cheap rs l0c. for
the round trip. The seller stated that the
tickets were sold cheap because the railroad
only wanted to pay expenses. The bogus
tickets were exactly like the genuine, except
that there was nothing stamped on the
back, having, of course, not been through
the master mechanics office This was
why the bogus tickets were detected Tho
Chief of Police was notified and detectives
were detailed to look into the matter.

METHoDIsTs AND THE CUP.
Complete Legal Prohibition of the
Liquor Traffic Favored.

Liquor franc Favored.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The Methodist
General Conference to-day passed the fol-
lowing resolution. which was ordered placed
IN the discipline of 1888:
We are unalterably opposed to the enactment
of laws that propose, by license, taxing, or
otherwise, to regulate the drink traffic, because
they provide for its continuance and afford no
protection against its ravages. We hold that the
proper attitude of Christians toward this
traffic is one of uncompromising opposition
and while we do not presume to dictate to our
people to their political afiliation, we do ex-
press the opinion that they should not permit
themselves to be controlled by party organiza-
tions that are managed in the interest of the
liquor traffic. We advise the members of our
church to aid in the nforcement of
such laws as do not legalize or in
dorSe the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants to be used as beverages, and to
this end we favor the organization of law
and order leagues wherever practicable. We
proclaim as our MOTTO voluntary total abstin-
ence from all intoxicants as the true ground of
personal temperance; and complete legal pro-
hibtion of the traffic in Intoxicating drinks as
the duty of civil governments.

cial Appropriation Bill Discussed.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--Private business
having been set asdo, the House this morn
ing went into committee of the whole, with
Mr.. Blount of Georgia in the chair, ON the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill, which was read by para
graphs for amendment. The greater
part of the afternoon was con-
sumed in dreary discus ions upon
the proposed increases of salary for House
employees and in tedious debates on points
of order. No material changes were made
in the bill.
Mr.. McComas, of Maryland offered an
amendment increasing the clerical force Of
the Civil Service Commission. This
brought on a political discussion, the Re
publicans making it the pretext for an
attack upon the civil service policy of the
administration. Pending vote upon Mr..
McComaS' amendment, the committee rose.
On motion of Mr.. Davidson, of Florida,
the Senate bill was passed appropriatiug
$4,000 for the erection of public building

A CHURCH PIPE OF PEACE
THE PRESBYTERIANS CONSIDER
ING ORGANIC UNION.

Rev. Smith Reads the Report OF the
Conference Committee to the North
ern Assembly-The Subject Referred
to Special Committee on Motion of
Gov. Beaver.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-Every seat on
the floor and every nook and corner of the
gallery were occupied this afternoon, as it
was known that the question of the organic
union of the two great bodies of the Pres
byterian Church would be fairly upon the
Northern General Assembly in considera-
tlon of the report of the committee of CON
ference with a like committee of the Pres
byterian Church in the United States (the
Southern General Assembly,
Rev. j. 7. Smith, D. D., of Baltimore,
read the report of the Committee of Con
ference. The question of the relation of
the colored people in the South to the
church is thus disposed of in the committees
report: 1--WE are of the opinion that our
assembly will agree to a basis of organic
union by which the present boundaries
and constituencies of the presbyteries
and synods in the South shall
remain in Stdtu quo, to be changed only
with the consent of the parties interested :;
and that all new churches and now presby-
teries hereafter established shall be organ
lied by and received into and with such
presbyteries and synods, respectively, as the
interested parties may mutually agree"
NOT MANDATORY.
Mr.. Smith said that this was merely de-
signed to give the colored members and
colored churches the liberty of entering into
such associations as they desired, and was
in no sense mandatory upon the colored
people, who could associate with the white
preshyteries or not, as in their Judgment
seemed proper.
A long discussion followed, in the course
of which several motions we're made pro-
posing various action upon the report
Finally Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, OBJ
tanned the floor with an amendment to refer
the entire matter before the assembly to a
special committee, with ex-Justice Strong
as chairman, to report to the assembly at
the earliest possible moment it's report to
take precedence over any other order before
the body. The assembly applauded when
the Governor said there was not a heart but
beat for reunion, but that deliberateness
was necessary. His motion was agreed to
and the Moderator appointed as the special
committee Justice Strong and Drs. Crosby,
Young, Hoyt and Saunders.

loved him. The speaker was for thirty-five
years teacher of science before DIR. Adams
was appointed to that position. The pres
Dytery Of Atlanta declared him innocent
his demand was for trial and vindication,
and his presbytery vindicated him. When
ne went to the seminary he was not a fossil,
though be had much to do with fossils. He
mad not changed his views on evolution,
put research and investigation confirmed
his views on that question.
HIS CONFIDENCE INCREASED.
All his Investigations had increased his
confidence that evolution is probably true
IL dld not change his belief in the Bible
he asked if his statements in the speech
complained of regarding the descent Of man
from the lower animal is heresy. Biology
and genealogy are prohibited by the Pres
byterianS in the studies of the seminary.
The Bible says God formed all the beasts of
the field out of the dust of the ground, and
what he holds is that the Scriptures are
silent upon the manner of the
formation of man out of the dust of the
ground, as it is silent in like way about the
horse. The speaker did not write the Bible,
and was not responsible if it is not explicit
upon these matters. He returned to the
action Of the Georgia synod. and asked
where 1t was ever known, in civil or crimi-
nal Jurisprudence, where a court ever in
terfered with verdict of acquittal The
synod of Georgia interfered with his
acquittal by his presbytery, while there
was no charge pending against him.
REPLYING TO DIR. STRICKLER.
DR.. Woodrow then took up the argument
of Rev. DR.. Strickler, whom he declared
had not made an exaggerated statement
This should be decided only on its own
merits, and he regretted that DR.. Strickler
had said if the decis on Of the synod of Geor-
gia was not sustained the church would
suffer. The point always made by the
speaker was that the mere trans
fer of Scripture language to the
standards was not Interpretation of
the Scriptures. He had not attempted to
take advantage of tecanicalities, nor would
he do so. There was no charge in the in
dictment against him and it should be
thrown out.
After DR.. Woodrow closed, a resolution
was adopted granting to each member de-
string it three minutes in which to explain
his position on the question.
Before concluding, the general assembly
adjourned until 9:30 o'clock tomorrow
