The Assembly Has n Riot over
EvoIutfontst woodrow.

CHATTANOOGA, May 21,-In the South
ern Presbyterian General Assembly to
day the committee to whom was referred
the consideration of the report of the
Com mittee on Conference with the
Northern Church recommended the
adoption OF the report as a whole. The
row over the evolution theories of Dr..
James Woodrow came up again in the
afternoon. A year ago the Baltimore as.
ssmbly decided that evolution as taught
by Woodrow was contrary to the stand
ards of the church. After this decision oil
the assembly the synod OF South Carolina
declared this action unwise, irregular and
unconstitutional. This precipitated the
fight in the General Assembly. The
committee today recon- mened that the
action OF the State Synod be approved, 80
far as it declared the action of the
Charleston Presbytery unwise, but dis
approved in so far as it declared that ac
ton irregular and unconstitutional. This
report was called at 2P. NJ. FIR
discussion and an hours excited debate
followed as to limiting the speeches. The
Assembly, during this time, much re.
sembled a political convention. Fin
ally an allotment was agreed upon,
and speeches were made pro and con.

to do this are two schools sustained by
the Assembly, who can preach to their
countrymen in the German tongue" DIR.
Smith thought if the German theological
school at Dubuque, of which he is Presi-
dent, got an endowment of 100000, it
could fulfill its mission of educating and
evangelizing the German population of
the Northwest for all time. Some speak
ers referred to the effective work being
done by the Synod of Minnesota among
the Scandinavians and Bohemians. 1t
was agreed to add another Secretary to
the force OF the Board of Home Missions,
and it was decided that he must
be able to preach sermon. The report
of the Standing Committee of the Board
of Aid for Colleges was presented by
Rev. DR.. Thos. S. Hastings. one.tbird
of the Presbyterian churches had made
donations. DR.. Hastings said that the
Board of Aid would require $780, 900 or
100000. The Board recommended that
the Bible be adopted as the only text
book in auy school endowed by the
Board of Aid, that special attention be
paid to the establishment of a Presby-
terrain Academy, midway between the
common school and college. The report
and recommendation were unanimously
adopted,

A FEW DAYS ago the HERALD drew at

A FEW days ago the HERALD drew at
tention to the fact that the British Gov
eminent was fortifying and strengthening
Esquimalt on scale that justified the
remark that it was to be the Gibraltar OF
the Pacific. An interest has been mani
tested by Parliament in these works
which has spurred the Government to
un usual exertions to make them the
formidable basis of defensive or offensive
war operations. We have perhaps no
right to question the British Government
about these notifications; if it see fit to
create a Gibraltar at Esquimalt its
right to do SO is doubtless incon-
testible. But then it is our duty to look
into the motive OF this sudden exhibit
ton of energy, and if the covert object is
to secure military advantage over the
United States in the pending controver-
sizes upon the sealing and other interna-
tional questions, we should be prepared
to meet force with force. We cannot af-
ford to leave Puget Sound and Washing
ton Territory without protection, if Van
couver Island. at the head of the Straits
of Fuca, is to be made military and
naval stronghold. There is no other
power but the United States against
which there could arise the neces-
sity for unusual military prepare
tons at Esquimalt, and in that view
of the matter, it would be proper
for our Government to exchange polite
note of inquiry with the British Cabinet.
In the mean time, however, We ought to
take cognizance Of the fact that there is
more or less menace TO our Puget Sound
posse ssions in this extraordinary arma-
ment on Vancouver Island, and proceed
at once to create defenses at some point
on the coast of Washington Territory
that would at least place US on military
equality with Great Britain in the event
of hostilities.

MR, BLAINE seems to have thrown a
bombshell into the easy-going Confer
ence at Berlin. Everything was going
along ss nice as pie up to yesterday. The
conferees were as agreeable and har-
monious as band of brothers, and
everything betokened that it would be a
continual love-feast to the end, when, 10
a message from Washington falls upon
the American Commissioners like a
thunderbolt out of clear sky. They
are told to insist upon the establishing in
Samoa OF the status quo ante bellum, and
to that end to require that Malietoa shall
be restored to the Samoan throne.
Biemarck has evidently tried to fight
all around this proposition, for he has
expressed willingness to yield on almost
ali points excepting this one. Indeed, in
the hope of staving eff this alternative,
he gave out before the meeting of the
conference that Malietoa had been par
Los Angeles daily herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1884-1890, 1889-05-22

doned, and the inference from this was
that the Samoan King was free. But
nobody has heard from Malietoa on this
subject. AS far as the world knows that
island sovereign is as much prisoner
now as he ever was. The German Com
missioners throw out the idea that as Ma
lietoa has been pardoned that ought to
satisfy our Government. Pardoned for
what? Why was he ever prisoner?
In this the whole gravamen OF the Berlin
Governments offense consists. Bismarck
brought on all the trouble by this high
handed and illegal act, and our Govern
ment is right when it insists that before
any other question is settled by the Con-
ference, Malietoa must be placed in the
position he occupied when the Germans,
arbitrarily and in violation OF the
tripartite agreement, made him a
prisoner and carried him off to distant
island. The whole controversy arose
from this outrage; for it was followed up
by the placing of Ma'aafa. on the
throne, and the trouble that ensued had
all this one origin. If Blaine has taken
the stand the latest dispatches intimate,
he is right.

SENATOR eoRMAN A FAvoRIrE.
But He Does Not Want TO be CHAIR
man OF the National Committee.


Nearly four weeks will elapse before
the National Democratic Committee will
meet in New York to take action on Mr..
Barnum's death and elect his successor.
In the mean time there is much specu-
lation as to who will be the man. Col.
Brice is candidate for the position,
but Senator German is the favorite
with MANY Democrats, and the main
obstacle to his selection is his declara-
ton that he could not accept the
craftsmanship. Many of the leading
Democrats do not believe that it would
be wise to promote Colonel Brica. The
defeat OF Mr.. Cleveland last fall is at,
tributed in q large measure to the mis-
takes of MIR. Brlce, made through mex
perience in politics. 1t is urged that if
Colonel Brice has the best interests Of
his party at heart, he will not consent to
accept the place. He must be aware Of
his unfitness for the place, say his OPP
ponents, and should be willing to give
way to some other man.

Senator, who arrived from Washington

one of the youngest men in experience

he can reasonably ask or expect. 1t does

not been conspicuous success. For the

of the National Committee will be the

be some one who can command
the respect and confidence of the
people. There is a great deal

the National Convention in 1892. We
should gain control of the Lower House

has come forward as a candidate for Mr.
Barnum's shoes. A party is always
judged by the leaders who represent it
and with MIR. Brice at the head OF oul
Committee we would be placed in ar
embarrassing position. There is nothing
against Brice, and believe him to be
thoroughly honest as men 60, but his in
terests are so closely identified with the
monopolists that it is hard to distinguish
him from that class. With Brice at the
helm all our strongest points against the
Republicans as being the friends and de

be set at naught. The people will simply
laugh and point to Brice as an indication
of the insincerity of our professions. -

The Mission Wooden Mills, that have
been in operation in San Francisco since
1873, were closed few days since be-
cause they could not be made to pay. 1t
is the old story. In order to manutac.
ture wooden goods successfully it is neces'
sary to mix with the short staple
woods of California large per-
centage of the long staple woods
of Australia. But the tariff on the for
eign woods is so high that it was found
unprofitable to continue the mills in
operation, SO they have been closed down,
and five hundred people have been
thrown out of employment. This is
about the experience of wooden
m manufacturers all over the United
States. English-made goods from free
woods compete with Amsrican-made
goods from high-duty woods out of our
own markets, and bankrupt American
manufacturers. The Los Angeles
Wooden Mill has been turned into an ice
factory. Even in Oregon woolen-mili
ventures have proven complete failures.

Since the above was in type, dis
patch has reached us that Germany has
conceded the restoration of Malietoa,
but insists that an indemnity shall be
paid by the samoans for the killing OF
the sailors who suffered in the episode OF
which Klein was, most innocently, made
the hero. This position is, if possible,
more untenable than the other; for, If
ever there was case where plea OF
self. defense could be properly entered,
it was in the affair in question. The
sharp and salutary Lesson then taught to
Captain Fritze's marines, and, through
them, to the whole army of Bismarck's
minions, was, if rightly estimated, Of
more value than the lives of many times
the number of marines that fell on thai
occasion. In fact, it was whole indem
nifty in itself.

THE resolution of Councilman Bonsall
to entirely reorganize the Police Com

long as the Board, as at present consti'

decentralization and half-hearted work in

want is a Board that can work and act
in harmony-not one which is split in
two, and each side OF which is constantly
