Presbyterian Assembly.

New YORK, May 22.-In the Presbyterian
general assembly the committee on bills
and overtures reported that the committee
had received overtures from fifteen Pres
byteries asking for a revision of the con
fession of faith. The committee considered
1t best that the request coming from 80
many PresbyterieS should not be ignored; ;
but thought the assembly should not take
action on the matter at present. The com
mittee suggested that a communication be
addressed to each of the Presbyteries in
the assembly asking if they desired re
vision, and if so, to what extent The
matter was made the special order for Fri
day afternoon.
The report of the board of foreign mis-
sious showed the work on the whole pros
porous, with no unusual obstacles. More
money was needed to meet growing de-
mands, contributions for the past year fell
off over $50, 900.
The matter of adopting clause Of the
recommendations of tho special committee
on missions among freedmen came up for
discussion at the afternoon session.
This clause asks for an expression of
confidence in the committee and an en-
dorsement of the manner in which it
carried out the work entrusted to it. A
substitute was proposed by DIR. Ham
lin, of Washington, that the special
committee be retained in Office for
another year, and that it listen
to the information in the possession of the
Western Presbytery. He claimed that the
committee had refused heretofore to listen
to this information After vigorous dis
cussion the substitute was put, and received
about twenty ayes while there were nearly
FIVE hundred noes. The report of the
special committee as a whole was then
adopted without dissent

The CharIeston,s Defects.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The news coming
from San Francisco is to the effect that
while there is reason to believe the new
cruiser Charleston will ultimately succeed
in fulfilling the contract requirements,
much remains to be done upon the vessel,
and probably at the governments expense,
before this expectation is realized. The
present air pump failed to give sufficient
vacuum and must be replaced by pump
OF another type
The defective slides which were spoken
OF IN the report upon the trial trip as the
cause of the failure must be altered in
design and other changes made, as the same
troubles were experienced in the case of
the MAMMALIAN, the Charleston's proto-
type. The inference is that they arise
from the faulty drawings furnished by the
English designers, rather than in the work
manship, which is said to be of an ex-
cellent character

JUDGE EdgertOn. the ASS.

Especial 10 THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Judge Edgerton
of Indiana, who was removed from the civil
service commission by President Cleve
land, uses emphatic language in speaking OF
Mr.. Cleveland, and Of his former associates
on the commission.
He says of Mr. Lyman that 1.-THE sooner
his head is taken of the better for the com
mission He might pass civil service eX-

Roosevelt as a cultivated and honest gen
tleman. Il cannot say as much" he adds,
''for the other two. l have always en-
deavored to treat gentlemen with whom l
have come in contact with courtesy and
fairness, and l never was treated like

Gals who were on the commission

bargain with the Mugwumps by which he
bound himself all through his administra-

he never heard of my uttering one word
hostile to civil service reform. They com
plain that I did not do work enough. Those

Mr.. Lyman claimed they did, they never
could get through it in the world. What
he claims the commission has done in the
way of preparing Of special questions, has
really been done by experts outside the
commission.

man has advocated should be made public,
it would result in the repeal of the civil

Evolution Must Go. PerhAps.

CHATTANOOGA, May 22.-The evolution
question came up again to day in the dis
cussion OF resolution to disapprove the
action of the South Carolina synod and
condemning as unwise, irregular and I'M
constitutional the action of the Charleston
Pres0ytery in forbidding the public con
tending against the decision of the Balti-
more assembly in the Woodrow evolution
case. After several heated speeches, the
resolution disappearing the action of the
South Carolina synod was adopted by a
vote of 113 to 81. Thus the doctrine of
evolution was again showed under In a
particularly vigorous speech sustaining
the action of the Charleston Presbyterians,
Dr. Girardean said they had right as
guardians of the church to prohibit the cir
culation of such a false doctrine. 1.-THE
matter comes down to the whole question
whether we as a church are to consider the
Scriptures as silent or not in regard to the
manner of creation. The Baltimore as
sembly said not; the Charleston assembly
said not; the Charleston Presbytery said
not and 1 hope this general assembly would

Ticket Brokers, Convention.

New YORK, May 22.-The American
Ticket Brokers' association began its an
nual convention today.
President McCreary called the conven-
ton to order and read the annual address.
He called attention to the fact that the
great railroad corporations had been for
the past few months endeavoring to have
the business of the members of the asso-
citation branded as illegitimate These
magnates, he said, had by every means in
their power tried to have laws passed by
different legislatures declaring the bust
ness illegal, but they had signally failed.
The small railroads, he said, principally
depended on the ticket brokers for sub
sistance, and that was the reason why the
large railroads wished to destroy the bust
ness of the brokers.
The report of the executive committee
dealt mainly with what was termed the
persecution to which the members of the
association were subject to during the past
year. 1t says, in part: "Our occupation
has been maligned, scandalized and misrep-
resented. 1t has been charged with con-
spiracy, with crime, with fraud and with
all that is evil, but the public has been our
ally, and truth and honest dealing our only
weapons
The report was adopted.
After several communications had been
read the convention adjourned. The re-
port of the executive committee referred
to several members who had been expelled
from the association for violation of the
rules. Among these were PEBBLES Bro

SAN Francisco, May 22-The fight to a
finish between Joe McAuliffe, of San Fran
cisco, and Tom Lees, ex-champion of Aus
tralia, took place tonight under the aus
pices of the Golden Gate Athletic club.
Both men were in good condition. Lees
weighed 10 pounds and McAuliffe about
two hundred McAuliffe forced the fight
ing from the start, and after he had de-
liyered several telling blows, Lees covered
his face with his arms and fought
a waiting fight. He did not sue
coed in getting in any effective
blows. In the eighth round McAuliffe
knocked Lees down with right handler,
but he got right up. McAuliffe came after
him like a tiger, and sent in blow after
blow. Lees went up against the ropes with
his hands down, and McAuliffe had him at
his mercy. Joe squared off and put the
Australian to sleep with couple of right
handlers ON the jaw. McAuliffe was not
hurt, while Lees presented CORY spec

WASHINGTON, May %. - Travellers
returning from Europe bring some
interesting gossip about the ill-feel
ing which has grown up between the two
Connecticut men, Ex-Governor Tom
Waller, who is consul-general at London,
and Charles T. Russell, who is consul at
Liverpool.
They represent that Mr.. Russell Dor
rowed $4,000 of Waller in order to
straighten out his accounts, which became
somewhat mixed last summer. There was
an error of some five thousand dollars, it is
stated, and Mr. Russell became so slow in
sending in his quarterly statement that
General Arthur Sewall, of Maine, one Of
his bondsmen, came here to have MIN
prodded a little. Governor Waller became
angry when he learned the use his loan had
been put 10, and he and Russell began to
say things of each other which were more
piduant than complimentary. Their dis
agreement had been the cause of good
deal of talk in London, and it is not I'M

BUNKER HILL MONUMENT.
The Boston Bosses Want to Inscribe Their
Names Upon 1t.

| Special to THE HERALD-EXamlner Dispatch. I
BosToN, May 22.-There is another battle
on old Bunker Hill. This time it is be-
tween joint committee of aldermen and
the councilmen and the directors Of the
Bunker Hill association.
The latter proposes to live up to Edward
Everet's conception of the OBJECT of the
monument, as not being political monu-
ment but historical. They say that for this
reason it is entirely improper to mar the
solemn dignity of the towering pile by in
scribing at this day on tablet of brass the
names of the 40 heroes who fell in the
battle for liberty.
The city fathers, it seems, had agreed
that the inscribing of these names would be
grand good thing. AS the names of the
aldermanic and council committees were
also to be chiselled in as representing the
city at the celebration of the battle on June
Il, the suspicion was aroused that their de-
sire to thus immortalize themselves and
their posterity was the leading motive of
their support Of the project. They appro
priated $4,000 Of the city's money and ex-
pended it in getting up a complete list of
