THE RESIGNATION REFUSED.
DR.. Ewing's Congregation Holds a Lively
Meeting-speaker Reed Knocked Out
on Parliamentary LAVA Committoe

Dr. EWlngs Congregation hOids n Lively
Meeting-Speaker Reed Knocked Out
on Parliamentary LAVA Committee e
Appointed to Report TO Presbytery.
BY a ballot of LIS against II it was decided
last evening in the Sixth U. P. Church that the
resignation of the pastor, Rev. r. B. Ewing, d..
D., would not he accepted. The meeting was
opened by DR.. Ewing, whose recent marriage
with his deceased wife's sister has created such
an amount of disturbance and unpleasantness
among the members of the congregation that
his resignation as pastor seemed necessary.
After prayer, DR.. Ewing retired. and William
Campbell was elected chairman of the meeting
which consisted of almost the entire congrega-
tion of the church. W. S. Fraser acted as
secretary.
Mr.. Dempster, presented to the gathering
couched in the usual language with preamble
resolution which paraphrased was as follows:
WHEREAS. The Rev. DR.. R. B. Ewing has given
the next IN meeting of the Monon gahea Presbytery
he intended to resign, therefore be it
Resolved. Ihat we determine by ballot whether
or not we wish the present relations existing be-
tween DR.; Ewing and the congregation of the
sixth U. Z. Church to be severed.
In rather peremptory, and considered by
some, unparliamentary manner. Mr.. Campbell
filled his position as Chairman, and was in
formed by Mr.. Dempster that he never
had h seen such an attempt at gag law;
The dissatisfaction that was expressed served
to render Mr.. Campbell calmly and smilingly
sarcastic and he initiated the example set by
the pastor by reslgning his position. His re-
signation was not accepted by even single 'I'
as he said he was conducting the meeting ac-
cording to his best knowledge. No discussion
was allowed and all possible precautions to
prevent the stuffing of the ballot boxes or
rather contribution boxes were taken, first
by separating the sheep from the lambs, or the
members of the congregation from the nom
members, and by counting the heads of every
voter present, thus preventing any benev-
olently inclined person from voting for an ab-
sent friend
The result was the signal for generous out
burst of applause. which Mr.. Campbell, with
stern and unyielding countenance. quelled by
reminding the enthusastics that they were in
a church. After considerable debate many
motions and amendments, the following gent
lemen were elected a committee to repre-
sent the congregation at the Monongahela
Presbytery: w. S. Fraser, Samuel Young,
Peter Dick. Alex. Dempster and Thomas Arm
strong.

THE END IN SIGHT.
Vote on the Blair Educational Bill to be
Reached Next Week-The Regular

Southern Debate in the Sennte.
NTAsHINGToN, March I2-In the Senate to-
day Mr.. Plumb called upon Mr.. Blair to
give the Senate some indication of the time
when he would be ready to have vote taken
on his bill. There were, he said, great many
important measures on the calendar-measures
relating to pensions to the forfeiture of land
grants, to silver coinage and to other impor-
tant subjects affecting the prosperity OF the
people. Nearly four months of the session
had passed and nothing had yet passed the
Senate that could be said to be of any National
Importance. He gave notice that unless some
agreement could be made as to when the vote
on the educational bill would be taken, he
would move at 2 o'clock tomorrow that the bill
be placed on the calendar He wished to invoke
response from the sphinx of New Hampshire
Mr.. Blair rose to make a statement as to the
educational bill, referring to Mr. Plumbs re
marks as ''the rushing speech OF the Father of
Waters. He spoke of the obstacles in the way
of reaching vote on the bill during this week,
but thought byThursday or Friday next the vote
might be taken. The discussion on that point
was participated in by Senators Plumb, Haw-
ley, Platt and Frye, the latter stating that
there was evidently no desire on the part of
Senators to listen to speeches on the educa-
tional bill, as he had frequently counted as few
as seven Senators present; and Mr.. Blair sug-
gested that perhaps those were times when
Senators were engaged In salmon dinners.
FINALLY 1t was arranged that on Thursday of
next week, at o'clock, Mr.. Blair should have
the floor to speak for not exceeding an hour,
and that then the bill should be under the five
amendments and bill. Mr.. Plumb gave notice,
Notwithstanding, that he would on Monday
move to take up some other bill. the effect of
which wonld be to displace the education bill.

IT seems to be settled that the direct tax
refunding bill will be passed by Congress this
session. This has better foundation in justice
than most of the bills intended to take money
out of the treasury because it is bill to return
tax which was collected unequally, to those
who did pay it. Justice would be equally met
by collecting the tax from the States which did
not pay it; but that would put money into the
treasury which is not needed, and would raise
bigger howl from the non-paying States than
the refunding bill.

An Investigation of Immigration.

THE concurrent resolution for the investiga-
ton of immigration matters was laid be-
fore the Senate with the two House amend.
ments extending the investigation to the pur'
chase of American industries by foreign capi
tai, and to the use Of Bedloe's Island, in New
York harbor, as an immigration depot. Mr..
Chandler moved concurrence in the House
amendment. The motion was agreed to, and
so the concurrent resolution has passed both
houses.
The Senate then proceeded to vote on the
resolution to exclude from the Congressional
Record the interpretations made by Mr.. Call in
the report OF the discussion with Mr.. Chandler
on the Goth of February The resolution was
agreed to-yeas SO, nays IA. The Democrats
voting in the affirmative were Messrs. Payne
Pugh Cockrell and Vance.
Mr.. Call gave notice that on Friday morning
he would call up the House resolution relating
to the death of the late Mr.. Townshend, Repre-
sentative from Illinois,
