Goodness answers TO the theological
virtue OF charity, and admits no ex'
cess but error. The desire of power in
excess caused the angels to fall; the
desire of knowledge in excess caused
man to fall but in charity there is
no excess neither can angel or man
come into danger by it.-Byron.

Northern Presbyterians.

New York, May 22-In the Presby
terian General Assembly the Committee
on Bills and Overtures reported that the
committee received overtures from fifteen
presbyteries asking revision of the con-
feseion of faith. The committee consid-
cred it best that requests coming from
so many presbyteries should not be
ignored, yet thought the Assembly
should not take action on the matter at
present. They suggested that commu-
nication be addressed to each of the
Presbyteries in the Assembly asking il
they desired revision, and il 30, to what
extent? The matter was made the
special order for Friday afternoon.
Report of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions showed work on the whole pros
porous, with no unusal obstacles. More
money is needed to meet growing de-
mands. Contributions for the past yeal

THE sCALpERS, CONGRESS.
They Vlndicate the Absolute Legiti-
macy of their Chosen Calling.


New York, May 22.-The American
Ticket Brokers' Association began its
annual convention to-day. President
McCrary called the convention to order
and read the annual address. He called
attention to the fact that the great rail-
road interpretations had, for the past few
months, been endeavoring to have the
business of the members of the associa-
ton branded as illegitimate. These
magnates, he said, had, by every means
in their power, tried to have laws passed
by different Legislatures declaring their
business illegal, but they had signally
failed. Small railroads, he said, princi-
pally depended on the ticket brokers for
subsistence, and that was the reason why
the large railroads wished to destroy the
business of the brokers.
The report of the Executive Commit.
tee dealt mainly with what was termed
the persecution to which the members OF
the Association were subjected to during
the past year. 1t says in part: 'Oul
occupation has been maligned, scandal
lied and misrepresented, charged with
conspiracy, with crime, with fraud, and
with all that is evil. But the public has
been our ally, and truth and honest deal
ing our only weapons; and we stand, to-
day, victors upon hard-fought fields
The report was adopted.
After several communications ha(
been read, the convention adjourned.
The report of the Executive Commit
tee referred to several members who hat
been expelled from the Association TO
violation of the rules. Among those are
PEBBLES Bros, Ogden, and J. B. Gar
land, San Francisco.

Menacing Miners.

JOLIET, May 22.-Word was received
here from Braidwood that the miners a
that place are paradipg the streets in 6

upon any men who may go to work in
place of the strikers, aud some are
threatening TO burn the mine works. The

session of Braidwood, as at first stated.
He went to Braidwood in person and
that the riotous demonstrations were be.

them plainly that such actions must
cease, and made it plain that, on slight
provocation, he would call out force te

O,Brtem stands Up for the Leag ue.

LONDON, May 22.-William O'Brier
continued his testimony before the Par
nell Commission. The League, he said
was founded chiefly to oppose the Sc
cret landlord combinations. The land
lords formed a com bination having q
capital CT 81, 900 900, for the purpose OF
carrying out evictions by the Wholesale,
and replacing evicted tenants with col
ones of tenants from other countries.
He had been member of committee
of the League ever since its organiza-
ton, and never heard suggestion to en-
courage outrages. Witness attended a
convention in America in 1886, but had
no connection with dynamiters while
there The vast bulk of those who at
tended the convention were men of the
highest standing. He drew distinction
between criminality and illegality. "rhe
Irish," he said, "have an earnest healthy
repulsion for criminality. As to illegality
meaning irreverence for law as law, il
legality is bred in u.s."
In answer to further questions by the
Attorney-GeneIal, O'Brien said that it
was impossible to say what was legal and
what was illegal in Ireland. Anything
that two resident magistrates say is law,
is law. The League certainly tended to
lessen outrage, but no league or human
power could prevent crime in such a
crises as 1879. He never advised people
to assist the government in the detection
of crime, because that would be accepting
responsibility that the League wholly
repudiated. The United Ireland never
denounced the secret society. The
League weaned Observation-Disclosures o1

Mr.. Parnel and large number OF the

Parnell spoke of the happy change of

party accepted Gladstone's platform. The
ulterior objects of that platform, he said

Mr.. Gladstone, in reply, referred to his
wife as the greatest gift he had received

the generous estimate of his services by
his countrymen had been mixed with
some censure, but it was better to lose
praise than to lose bravery, and the
discipline resulting from free public
criticism,

COLLISION AT SEA.
Eight of the Crew of One of the
Steamers Are Drowned.


Steamers Are Drowned.
MONTREAL, May 22.-The steamships
Cynthia and Polynesian collided this
morning near Long Point, few miles
east. Eight lives are reported lost. The
| Cynthia was freighter, inward-bound
from Glasgow. The Polynesian was out
ward bound with freight and passe ngera
for Liverpool. Immediately after the
collision the Cynthia sank in twelve
fathoms. The survivors from the Cynthia
swan ashore. The Polynesian proceeded
to Quebec in damaged condition. The
collision of the steamers was the result
of a misunderstanding of signals for pass
ing at dangerous curve in the channel.
The following is list of the crew of the
Cynthia who lost their lives
Hugh Irving, chief cook; Alexander
Nicholas, sailor; Andrew Vance, trim
mer; Charles McCracken, trimmer; /;
James Low, fireman; James Ferron,
boatswain; Charles Blackstock, mess
room boy; David Young, a stowaway
from Glasgow.
The blame is laid at the door of the
Polynesian, and her officers are much
blamed for not stopping to render assist.
ance.
The sailors of the Cynthia claim that
the Polynesian steamed right ahead, and
that, had she stopped, she could have
saved the men who were drowned. They
also state that there were fifteen men on
shore, who, although there were boats
near by, did not raise f1ger in an at
tempt to rsscue the drowning sailors.
The pilot on the Cynthia says the Poly.
nesian was not in her proper course, and
to this he ascribes the collision. The
weather WAS perfectly clear, and those on
board the Cynthia were surprised to see
the course the Polynesian was making
Instead of coming straight down the
channel, she was crossing the course OF
the Cynthia, which was, agreeably to
the marine law, keeping on the starboard
side of the river. When fifty feet away
the Polynesian blew her whistle to signal
the Cynthia to take the opposite
side of the channel. The pilot accord
ingly put her about and endeavored to
cross but, seeing it could not be done,
signalled to have the engines reversed.
1t was vain effort and the next minute
the vessels had met. After the collision
the Polynesian kept on her course. The
Captain on the Cynthia tried to run that
most Immediately she capsized
sideways, and all tried to
make their escape as best they could.
One man was crushed to death at the
time of the collision, and seven were
drowned while attempting to reach shore.
The mariners say it was impossible for
the Polynesian to render the Cynthia
any assistance. With the "way" Oh her,
caused by her full speed down stream,
she could not have stopped, and, even if
she could have stopped in short dis
tance, she would have been unable to
turn.
