CUMBERLAND ELDERS.
A Congregation Has Not the Right to Rotate
Them Out of ONCE.

A Congregation Has Not the Right to Rotate
Them Out Of ONCE.
At the last meeting of the Pittsburg Pres
6ytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church the matter Of eldershIp in the
Wylie Avenue Church came up in the fol-
lowing manner: The Judiciary Committee
had in charge the appeal by Thomas
Elliott, who asked for decision as to the
legality of the rotary system OF eldership,
and also as to whether George Il. Smith,
who was elected under the permanent sys-
tenn of eldership in the WyIie Avenue
Church before the congregation adopted the
rotary system, was vet to be regarded as an
elder in the church, although he had been
rotated out.
To the first Of the questions the committee
reported: "The rotary system of eldershIp
is possibly illegal, and is not recognized in
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. See
ruling of General Assembly. $780," To the
second question the answer was: "A brother
having been duly elected and ordained to
the eldership according to the discipline Of
the church, cannot be rotated out of Office,
and is entitled to any and all privileges of
the eldership SO long as he is not under charge
and is in good standing in the church.
The committees report was adopted.
MIR. Elliott presented the petition on behalf
OF Mr.. Smit h, and the report of the Judiciary
Committee was signed by Mr.. Montgomery,
Chairman of that committee.

[BY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, April 11.-lf he lives until to-
morrow, as he probably will, and perhaps
for years to come, Admiral Sir Provo Will
lam Parry Wallis, G. c. B., "The Father of
the British Navy" and head of the active
list, will celebrate his one hundredth birth
day. 1t seems difficult to believe, but it is
fact, nevertheless, that the Admiral was
lieutenant on board the Shannon at the
time she captured the American frigate
Chesapeake in 1913, on the occasion of Cap
tain Lawrence's memorable words as he was
carried below, fatally injured: Don't give
up the ship"
The honor of keeping Admiral Wallis
name at the head of the active list is unique
in the annals of the British navy and was
conferred upon him at Victoria's request, in
recognition OF his gallant services, and
long protracted and most honorable life"
Though other admirals are required to re-
tire at the age OF 20, after which their names
appear in the army list in italics, the gal
liant old sailors commissions began almost
with the battle of Trafalgar and cover the
period of glands greatest naval glory.

LONDON, April 11.-Cotton planting in
the remote regions of Trans-Caspia and
Turkestan is becoming more and more an
industry in which Russian capital
on large scale is being directed.
Within a comparatively short time two
important companies have been formed
in Moscow with the object of purchas-
ing extensive tracts of land in those

growth of this plant. Experts in Merv.
who have gone into the matter, have just

only sufficient water can be secured, these
districts will be second to no country in the
world for cotton growing.

In Which Russia Is further Stirring Up
the Spirit of Discomfort

In w h1Ch Russia Is furtner surfing Up
the Spirit of Discomfort.
lBr pUNEAP's CABLE CoMPANY.r
LONDON, April 1.-THE recent ve1atious
proceedings which have been instituted
against the Russian press were no doubt de-
signed with the view of giving practical
illustration of the power of the Ministry of
the Interior. But they have also produced
another effect which was probably
not contemplated. They have caused
a widespread feeling of dissatisfaction
among the enlightened classes of the COM
munities in that country, and their num-
bers are constantly increasing. 1t is be-
lieved that the real intention of the author
tiles must be sought deeper down. and that
those yeiled measures are but feint, which
will be followed bv the suppression of the
special organ of the Hebrew population

The Liberal paper Norsti, or Netos, which
is always slow and slum bering, is now alert
to the mass of discomfort which exists all
over that vast country, and gives it as its
opinion that such irritating measures as are
now in vogue can only tend to convert those
who have been asleep into wakeful members
of the party of discomfort.

wRATHY ARTISTS.

a Decree That Bars Out Many of Their
Paintings From Exhibition.
CBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcHt
LONDON, April 11.-There is much con-
sternation in artistic circles in Paris owing
TO the circumstance that President Bonnat,
OF the Palais de PILdustrie Salon, has
taken upon himself to "raise the standard"
OF that institution. To effect this result pict-
ures, including those of many prominent
American artists, have been rejected by the
score, and the number of paintings to be ex-
bibIted is $50 less than last year.
Bonnat is out of town this week, and so
temporarily escaped the wrath of the French
artists, who have received medals and hon
ora5le mention at previous exhibitions, but
they declare that unless their paintings are
accepted on revision there will soon be "a
third salon" in Paris.
