Tho General Assembly Leans Toward Or.
Pnrknurst's Method OF Fighting Wee.
PIrrsDURGH, May 27.-Thc delegates
to the United Presbyterian general as
sembly were slow in arriving this morn
ing and not more than one.half wore in
their seats when Moderator McDill CALL
ed tho assembly TO order. The general
committee on prevalent evils in refer
encc.t to which society needs to be re-
formed and the Christian methods to be
used to attain that end, submitted n
lengthy report, in which reference was
made TO Sabbath desecration by rail-
ways, mail and newspapers, secret socie.
ties, murder, divorce, social evil, thea
tres, church lotteries and gambling.
The report recommended the witness
ing oi these evils boldly and faithfully
by pulpit and press, especially against
sins mostly favored by society. This
would indicate a leaning toward DR..
Parkhurst's methods. The report of
the womans' missionary society showed
contributions Of Si5, ,72G, and an increase
in membership of l,OSl.
1t was decided to build n church ut
Salt Lake City and to send two women
missionaries to Egypt.
The report on the moral and religious,
interests OF the army and navy deplorcd
the scarcity Of chaplains at posts and
urged the church to press Congress to
supply an adequate number. {.
The report OF the committee on the
relations OF theological seminaries to
the general assembly was read. 1t was
shown under the church laws, tho as
sembly already has general supervision
OF the management OF the seminaries,
but there seemed to be some confusion
as to just how far this power reached.
DR.. Owens said no was firm believer
in the idea that the assembly should
have charge OF the seminaries.
The, matter was finally referred to the
judiciary committee ior decision aq to
tho constitutionality OF the question.
After some routine business, the assem-
bly, adjourned.
This evening memorial service was
conducted by Rev. J. I. Mcclure, D. D.,

LONDON, May 2T.-A cabinet council
was convened to-day for tho purpose OF
determining tho date Of dissolution OF
parliament.
The section Of tho cabinet iavoring
an immediate appeal to tho country
could adduce the opinion Of tho bulk Of
the conservative election agents that it
is urgently necessary to dissolve parliu-
mcnt within a month. i11
Tho almost unanimous roprcscnta-
tions which were made to the conserva-
tive whips with view OF influencing
tho cabinet, advised that tho dissolu.
tion OF Parliament either take place at
the end OF Juno or be po,tpo ned until
tho spring OF 1893. Tho tenor OF the
communications made by tho whips to
members after the council indicated n
decision to proceed with the Irish local
government bill, and the abandonment
OF the intention to resort to early disso-
luton.
MIR. Balfonr promises definite decla-
ration on the eve OF tho Whitsuntide ad-
journment. 1t is understood that Mr..
Balfour demanded Of his colleagues time
10 complete his scheme OF legislation
even though it be necessary to adjourn
at the end Of July and TO hold winter
session. Tho decision will enrage the
opposition, who, without delay, will re-
sort to every device to obstruct govern
mcnt business; but it will be approved
by the majority ofthc unionists, though
it will embarrass many who relied upon
dissolution in Juno as Inevitable.
To-nishts issue OF the Globe accurately
reflects the Tory view Of the position
by maintaining that it is the duty of
the government not to defer to their
opponents clamor for n general election
but to press forward the Irish local
government measure to u period, when
as the act of conservatives they can
watch its administrative practice.
Secretary Fosters formal programme
for discussion at the international mon
etary conference, if received by Mr..
.'eo NV Sct Deeu CoMiu uHl-
Gated to his colleagues.
The ministerial opponents OF the con-
ference think that Mr.. Goschen too
easily surrendered. to Secretary Fosters
arguments, and hope that.certain influ-
cnce now being used with the European
governments will prevent their sending
delegates. High financial houses in
London, Berlin and Vienna oppose the
conference.-the spite of these. and other
undercurrents, however, the treasury
here takes the conference as settled
fact. -
The Parnellites Of Cork will give John
Redmond warm farewell on his de-
parture for America. In an interview
MIR. Redmond said he. hopes to explain
the position OF his party to Irish-Ameri-
cans. and to refutc cable reports sent by
enemies Of tho cause.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May e7.-A special
TO the Journal from Wellington, Kas.,
says: A cyclone passed over that place
this evening, killing and injurins 500
people. The storm passed. directly
through tho centro Of hctown, wreck
Ing everything in its path. Fire broke
out in the wrecked districts, and is now
burning flercely.
A heavy storm Of wind preceded tho
cyclone about half an hour. A few
minutes after . o'clock the cyclone
struck tho city, coming from the south
west. There were no promonotory
signs. Everybody was in doors and the
cloud passed with Its destructive rush
and awful roar unseen. l
Washington avenue, tho principal
business street, is lined OIL both sides
for blocks with ruins. To add to the
horror fire broke out among the debris
Of Colonel Robinson's blocks and
woman, Mrs. Susan Asher, is supposed
10 have perished in the flames.
A solid block OF brick buildings, con-
tanning q half dozen stores and the
llOntor.Pr. and J;Oice printing offices,
lies tumbled heap OF bricks and NOR
lar. Just across the street Il laborcr
named flaming was taken out OF the
ruins dead and there is supposed to be
other bodies in the ruins.
Hundreds OF dwellings arc totally de-
stroyed or more or less damaged. Tho
city is in darkness, as broken mains
made it necessary to shut down the gas
works and save destruction from fire.
Hon. James Lawrence, candidate for
attorney general, had an arm broken.
Walter Forsthen was taken from the
ruins dangerously injured. Seven
bodies have been taken out OF the
Phillips House ruins and large force
Of men areat work removing the debris.
Two members OF the Salvation Army
are expected to die from injuries re-
ceivcd.
At Squire Smiths residence seven
persons are more or less injured. The
streets arc Uttered with tin roofing,
cloth awnings and broken timbers.
Everybody is on the streets carrying
lanterns and it is utterly impossible
to get exact facts. The dcstruc-
tion is simply awful and every
minute adds 10 the horror OF the situa-
tion. IllE't5 5Esf
The Standard and Mail aflices arc
wrecked. The Opera house and dozens
ot the best buildings are useless. Fine
school buildings and churches are
ruined and the loss will foot up into
many thousands OF dollars. Reports
have been received from other points.
Wellington is the county seat OF Sum.
ner county and has n population of over
len thousand inhabitants. 1t is the
centre OF thickly settled agricultural
district. It is the most prominent in
southern Kansas.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.-Thc sud.
don and successful flank movement Of
the silver men In tho senate Yesterday
occasioncd n great deal OF talk and
monopolized conversation at tho capitol
completely to-day. Tho silver advo-
Gates were all smiles and aTability.
Their Joy is all tho greater because
this turn OF alairs in their favor has
como just as they were settling down
into n condition OF dcspondent rcsig.
nation to tho apparently inevitable
postponement OF their most cherished
desire. All at once they SEQ a bright
gleam OF hope ahead and now they tall;
quite confidently OF pushing their pet
measure through both houses OF Con.
gress at the present session, and at an
early day.
One OF the happiest men at tho capi-
tai to-day is Representative Bland OF
Missouri, tho gencralissimo OF the sill.
yer forces. He said that he felt very
much encouraged rs to tho prospects OF
the Tree coinage cause, and thought the
chances were now decidedly favorable
10 the passage Of the bill ut this session.
At the, same time, he said, it was not
safe to count on it as certainty, be.
cause there was go much politics
mixed up with tho question. This, be-
Ing Interpreted, means that there are 4
great many men in Congress who,
though favorable to free silver, are rem
dercd timid by their apprchcnsions as
to the effect OF silver discussion and
legislation upon the welfare OF the regu-
lar party organizations, and especially
rs to ITS effect upon certain prominent
Individuals and candidates OF these par
ties at the present juncturc.
Mr.. Bland said that il the senate
should pass tho Stewart bill he did not
believe the house would refuse to pass
It also. lie didn't see how it could
afford TO refuse when SO large a mum.
Der OF constituents back OF the mem.
bers-numberine undoubtedly q ma
lority OF the entire body OF constituents
were demanding legislation on the
subject. He said that he had been told
by senators that the bill was almost
certain OF being passed By the senate
by n majority OF at least four or five. In
that case the excuse which had sheltered
SO many members OF the house in the
former contest-namely that there was
no use in putting the bill through the
house because it was sure to be. killed
in the senate-would, he said, no longer
be available. - -.
1t is evident that one OF tho objects in
view on the part OF many OF those who
are stirring up the silver. cauldron anew
is to damage the political prospects Of
President Harrison and OF ex-P President
Cleveland and to create embarrassment
among the friends OF those statesmen
ana presidential candidates. The cam
did declaration OF Senator Morgan yes
terday, to tho effect that the Democracy
would have to throw Mr.. Cleveland
overheard on account OF his views on
silve: is regarded as highly significant
and important, proceeding, as it did,
from one OF the mostinhuential OF those
southern Democrats who were formerly
among tho staunchest friends OF Nj.
Cleveland and energetic supporters OF
his administration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2G.-At 1o:15
o'clock this morning Chairman Warner
called the silver convention to order.
Short addresses werc mado by Mr..
Shinn, OF Kansas, and Mr.. X. X.
Thomas, of Pennsylvania. The latter
said that ten years ago his farm was
generally regarded by his neighbors rs
worth $4,000, and since that time he
had ever been more successful than his
neighborhood and had been able, by
close attention to business, to save
about $500 per year. This was the re-
suit OF tho labor OF every member oil
his family. But while he llaa been able
to save $500, his farm had, how
ever. deprecated in value, evon
more, and the farm, that ten years ago
was, worth $4,000 in cash, could not be
sold to-day for more than 5000. This
shrlnkage ho attributed solely to our
pernicious financial system, which was
being oper.ted in tho interest oi money
lenders, corporations and monopoies.
Tho speaker denounced both OF the
Leading political parties, and said that
rather than vote for Grover Cleveland
lwho seemed to be the logical candidate
OF his parity with his FREQ trade ideas,
hc would vote for Queen Victoria for
President OF the United States, and
rather than vote the ticket Of the hypo-
critical weak-kneed Republican party
he would vote for. Cleveland.
After recess the convention was
briefly addressed BY Capt. Nichols, OF
Boulder, Colorado.
E. D. Stark, OF Ohio, read long pa
pcrupon the general subject OF silver in
which he expressed himself as having
no confidence in the proposed interna-
tional monetary conference.
