NEW WORK, July l4-Eight hundred
thousand dollars, nearly the entire cash
of endowment of the Union Theological
seminary, is in jeopardy because of the ac-
ton of the seminary directors in the DR.
Briggs controversy. The seminary was
founded IN 1886 by conservative Presbyte-
rians. 1t had no UNCONVENTIONAL alli-
ances. When the institution was poor
and needy Banker Brown proposed to give
$500, 900 toward an endowment, but hest
tated because he had no assurance of per-
manency, either of existence or orthodoxy
To secure this endowment the seminary
was placed under the authority of the
Presbyterian church
1t Depends on the Directory.
Ex-Governor Edwin ID. Morgan then
donated $4,000 upon the assurance that
the seminary was permanently under the
control of the Presbyterian church. Now
that the directorate, by vote of 20 to 2,
refuse to be guided by the vote of the gen.
eral assembly disappearing of DR..
Briggs election to the faculty, these and
other large donations may be withdrawn.
Russell Sage is waiting for the action of
the directors in the fall before deciding to
bring suit to recover his donation of S, 600
The withdrawal of nearly the entire cash
endowment of the seminary will depend
on the action of the directors in the fall

ment. In my opinion Mr.. James Brown
did not give s300,000 hesitatingly, as has
been stated The gift of Ex-Governor Nor

CHICAGO, July 14.-Colonel Robert G

WASHINGTON. July 14.-Political observ.
ers at the national capital are rapidly COM
ing to the conclusion that nothing is likely
to prevent the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land by the next Democratic presidential
convention. There is, indeed, growing
probability, now amounting almost TO
certainty, that the rival candidates in 1892
will be the same rs in 1sSS-Cleveland and
Harrison. "To my mind" said Senator
Kenna, "there is no doubt who the Demo
cratic candidate will be. 1t is in the air.
All the signs point to Cleveland Some
Democratic senators are opposed to him,
but that is all there is TO the opposition.
Strong with the Rank and File.
ut is confined to the politicians The
great mass of the people want Cleveland
and in the end their wishes must prevail.
j believe that Cleveland is stronger to-day
with the rank and file of the party than
he was when ne left the White House.
He is identified with the question which is
to form the issue in the campaign of next
year-the great question of wringing
from the people millions of money for 10
legitimate purposes of government That
is bound to be the issue next year, and on
it the Democrats will win"
