Some debate arose as to the proposition
to drop from the regular roll and keep a
separate list of ministers who do not report

adopted.
A telegram was read reciprocating the
greetings of this assembly to that of the
United Presbyterian assembly, with a
reference to Hebrews Y: 24-25, exhorting
them to hold fast the profession of faith. y
This called forth very audible smile in
view of the recent debate.

tion of rival churches in small communi-
ties, was read by DR.. Ely, of Iowa. The

expenses. The representatives of Califor-
MIA and Oregon were heard for fifteen min

notice that if the assembly did not go to
the Pacific coast, Kansas City wished to
enter the competition as against Saratoga
Springs. Dr. Rice spoke for Calvary
church, San Francisco, and his presbytery.

cific coast, and, on a rising vote, Portland

was then made unanimous. 1t was voted

months before the next assembly make

officers of the assembly have the right to
arrange for a meeting at Kansas City.

PERKINS. OKLAHOMA

PERKINS, Ok, May 29-[Special Just
three-quarters of mile north of the Iowa
country and about eight miles west of the
Sac and Fox line, one mile from the Cim-
arron river, twenty miles east of the sta
tion of Mulhall on the Santa re, is the To-
cation of one of the coming towns of Okla
homa, and Perkins is the town Your
correspondent has travelled over most of
the land in every direction from the town.
and 1t Is simply fine. Wheat, corn and
cotton are seen in abundance, and the
question that is now agitating their minds
IS what they are to do with the immense
crops being raised twenty-five or thirty
miles from the railroad, and no mills or
elevators. 1t seems that the mill men of
this country would look this matter UP,
and establish market for grain at this
point. When the new country east
and south of them comes in
which will be soon, they certainly
would have advantages over any other
concern, as the haul would be about
thirty miles shorter than from any other
point, and all any company would have to
do to satisfy themselves that there would
be something to grind, even this fall
would be to drive through the country
and see the many beautiful fields of wheat,
corn and oats.
Perkins is beautifully located. One of
the business streets is lined with shade
trees, and the other principal business
street, laid off few weeks ago, is nicely
graded from one end of the town to the
other. There seems to be a good opening
in Perkins for a bank, Touring mill, cotton
gin, and sawmill. The people of Perkins
are offering inducements to the different
industries that would tend to build their
town and country up, and are ready at all
times to welcome any and all that wish to
come and live with them.

BERLIN. May 3O-Emperor William be-
fore deciding on a reduction or temporary
suspension of the duties on grain asked
DIR. Won Betticher, secretary of the i'm
perlal home office, to submit to him a
report upon the crop prospects and upon
the general economic position bearing
upon the question. A ministerial council
viii meet tomorrow to take definite action
touching the matter. The ministers main
tain the utmost reserve. but it is the Off
cial conviction tonight that there will be
neither reduction nor suspension of
duties before the commercial treaty be-
tween Germany and Austria Hungary
comes into force. The Cologne Gazette
states that the government will declare its
decision on Monday.
Lobby gossip has it that the reichstag
Will be called in extra session June II, but
this report is in direct variance with the
belief in ministerial circles. A special ses-
sion would force the government to make
awkward disclosures, which might assist
Prince Bismarck in forming the opposition
coalition which he is now actively at work
constructing. The Progressist press an
nounces that Prince Bismarck will appear
in the reichstag and oppose a reduction of
the grain tariffs, and predicts that the
prince will certainly meet with humiliat-
ing defeat as hardly score of members
Will support him, The position may be
summed up as follows: If the ministers
declare that semi-famine is impending
no party will dare oppose measures of re-
lief.
Public indignation against Russia be-
cause OF that governments treatment of
the Jews is becoming more intense The
Hebrews driven from Russia arrive here
daily in absolute destitution. These eX
lies are met at the station by co-religion-
lists, who supply them with food and
clothing and little money, and procure
them passes to London or New York.
The letter from Mr.. Gladstone, reprinted
here, affirming that the czar does not
know the horrors inflicted upon his jew
ish subjects, differs utterly from the
facts The truth is, that the czar is him
self the chief instigator of the increasing
severity practiced upon the Jews. Jewish
advices from St. Petersburg and Moscow
concur In the statement that the most
powerful influences have been brought to
bear upon the czar. but the condition of
the Jews is hopeless.
