THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
DIR. Agnew's Spirited Defense Of n
Board of Publication.

DIR. Agnew's Spirited Defense Of the
Board or Publication.
SARATOGA, n. Y, May 22-In the Pres
hyterian assembly yesterdny.afternoon un-
usual interest was taken in the expected
lively continued debate over the report OF
the board of publication and the adverse
report of the special committee. DR. Benja-
min Agnew, Of Philadelphia, opened for
the board by saying that the trouble arose
because Of a misunderstanding by the
special committee.
DIR. Agnew took up the report of the
special committee, and read il page BY
page. ''Ihe preamble of that report is
made up of Misrepresentation" he said
II make that assertion coolly. That pre-
amble viii do your board OF publication
an injury from which it will not recover
in this century. The committee does not
give the facts as regards the cost of print
ing material. We are getting our work
done cheaper than other religious bodies
because we pay for It promptly. The
charges Of strange discrepancies concern.
ing the publication of The Westminster
Lesson Leaf are false and scandalous
don't know anything about the law of New
York, but say that under the law of Penn
sylvania that charge is a libel, criminal
libel"
He then showed how, under an order Of
the general assembly, the publication board
had bought a quantity Of cheap books,
which it had TO rebind at an expense OF
$4,000. Except when thus overruled, he
declared, the publication board dealt only
in well bound books, much better than
those of ordinary publishers and that was
one reason they sometimes cost moro.
He declared that the publication board
welcomed investigation, and concluded
with the rather mixed metaphor which
apparently had reference to the chairman
of the special COMMITTEES: IF the war goes
on the longest pole will knock down the
most persimmons.n The resolutions OF
District Attorney Graham, of Philadal-
phia, turning the whole subject over 10 a
committee Of seven, with power TO a0t,
were adopted
The committee on bills and overtures re
ported. recommending that all overturea
on the subject Of a revision Of the creed be
referred TO a committee Of nine, who shall
confer with the United Presbyterian and
Reformed churches, TO prepare short
creed containing the essential principles Of
the Westminster confession. the committee
to report TO the next assembly. The report
was docketed. The assembly pledged itself
to do all it could to secure the 81 600 600
for foreign missions for the coming year.

The Alleged Plot of Wealthy FilIbustors
Against Mexico.


Against Mexico.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The Chronicle
deyotes four columns TO giving complete
details Of an alleged conspiracy 20 capture
lower California and TO found an independ-
ent republic, to be followed by annexation
to the United States. A number OF promi-
nent capitalists interested in lower Cali
fornia lands and mines and we'll known
citizens Of Los Angeles and San Diego are
involved, according TO the revelations. San
Diego appears TO have been the headquar
ters Of the nlibusters. The general outline
Of the plan, it is claimed was for the Mex
ican Land and Colonization company,
composed Of wealthy Englishmen owning
concessions on the peninsula, TO place IN
the hands Of a well known San Diego capi.
talist 100000, TO be used in advancing tje
interests of the filibusters.
The large warehouse OF an English .pm.
pany at Ensenada was to be filled with
arms, ammunition and provisions for the
use of the revolutionists. The officers Of
the English company claim that the policy
Of the Mexican officials in lower California
has been ruinous TO the land interests OF
the company, which has been obliged to
expend thousands Of dollars ia projecting
its interests, and the salvation Of the com
pany. they assert, finally depeads upon an
nexatiOn. fr..
A lobby has been working at Washing
ton in the interest Of the company, but as
the prospects of congressional action werf
unfaYorahle flibustering expedition was
decided upon. Two propositions were dis
cussed One was capture Ensenada, the
other was to introduce a large number OF
Americans on the peninsula, ostensibly as
railroad laborers 10 capture the Mexican
man-of-war DemOcarta and at the same
time give a picnic in honor OF Mexican
officials, and in the midst OF the festivities
capture the garrison and seize the tele
graph and railroad lines.
Simultaneous risings at the Alamo and
Tia Juana were 70 take place. Several
meetings Of the conspirators took place in
March and April and at one Of these the
facts became known to newspaper man.
When the peninsula had been seized pro
visi0nal government was to be declared on
or about Aug. /, and martial law was to be
enforced. The land of the peninsula was
