THE PRESBYTERIANS.

Discussion of Home Missions Occupies
Their Attention-The Briggs Case.
PORTLAND, Or, May 25.-The Pres
'byterian assembly occupied the fore
noon session with the discussion of the
subject Of home missions. DR.. S. j.
Mcpherson, Of Chicago, presented re-
port Of the work accomplished in the
past year. He urged the assembly to
spend less time splitting hairs over doc
trinal questions, to be less penuious in
their offerings for home missionary work
and to devote renewed labor to the
Evangelization. DR.. Irwin, one of the
home secretaries Of the home board,
followed with an earnest address. After
him came several home missionaries.
The proposed sixteenth amendment
to the constitution Of the United States,
providing that no state shall appropriate
funds in aid Of sectarian schools, was
adopted without debate.
Just before the hour of adjournment
it was noticed that the judicial commit
tee would report on the Briggs case and
soon the church was crowded to the
doors by those wanting to hear the ex-
pected debate ON the question
which is exciting Presbyterians
all over the land. DR.. Briggs
hurried in and was listener to
the proceedings. The prosecuting COM
mittee's appeal from the dismissal of
DR.. Briggs was then reported by the ju-
dicial committee who held that the ap-
peal was well taken and that the COM
mittee should be upheld There was a
minority report that asked that the ap-
peal be not considered and asked the
conference to remand the case. An eff
fort was made to have the case discussed
ct once but the friends Of DR.. Briggs
succeeded in having it go over. An
animated discussion may be looked for
when the reports come up.

Association of the United States began

prevent specializing in futures.

ST. PETERS HOSPITAL.

An Institution hat Deserves the Support
of the People.
Few people realize how much good St.
Peters hospital really does. 1t is known
that it ia an excellent place for the sick, be-
cause there ia a most efficient corps of
nurses and patients receive tho most care
full attention. But the amount of good it
does for the poor, who cannot pay for the
services received, only those who are inter-
ested III the management can tell. While
it Is under the auspices of the Episcopal
church it knows neither sect nor nation
ality and has proven a haven of rest
for people of almost every creed and
for representatives Of almost ali ma
lions. Some idea of the work being done
is given in the report Of the superintendent
for the past year.. Yesterday there was
4 meeting of the trustees of the hospital to
elect officers for the ensuing year and trans
act other business. 8. J. Jones, the efficient
treasurer, declining reelection, the board
passed a resolution Of appreciation and
thanks. aud W. H. Little was elected secrs-
tary and treasurer. The superintendent's
report showed the number Of patients ad-
mitted during the year was 267, 224 being
males and forty-thrse females. Of these
twenty-five were charity patients. There
were fourteen deaths during the year.
tients admitted were Episcopalians. nearly
every other prominent denomination being
represented in the remaining number. Al
most every nationality was also represented
LOG only being Americans. The total
receipts Of the hospital were $40, 1872. 65.
which. sum about covered the running ex-
penses Of the institution, except interest on
the bonded debt. insurance and a few i'm
provements. The money for these expend-
itures came from the donations of funds in
the east and from tho contributions Of the
citizens OF Helena.

camp: At persent interest is oentered in
what is called the Sinking Water camp,
situated on the south fork of the stream,
about seven miles above Cabin creek, in the
Elkhorn (~unorganized) mining district. A
large number OF locationsy were made there
last fall, and this season quite q colony has
como in and development and representa-
ton work are being rushed vigorously. MI.
Philpott says that the surface indications
are remarkable, and that the prog
poets are encouraging for a booming
camp. The ore carries mostly silver and
lead, with some copper. It ia expected
that the Burlington e. Missouri railroad
will run directly through the new camp.
and the surveyors are, now engaged in

1t is said that the Anaconda company has
purchased the school land at Three Forks
end that it will begin the relimary work
there this fall. says the Bozeman Chroni-
Gle. The authenticity Of these rumors can

thing is to be done yet this year. ]. B.

ure the stand you take in this mornings
issue on the Castle railroad matter. and beg
to assure you that the people Of Helena ap-
preciate the effort you are making to bring
the matter to an issue. The construction

interests of any man or set of men to block
the project. The subscriptions to the

subscribers have a right to know why mat

being asked by those outside the charmed

used to fatten the already full purses of a
few citizens who are public spirited for
revenue only. If there are any sums
subscribed with a string" on them, let
them pull them off. There are others who
will take their places. Let the work 90 on

The executive committee OF the National
Mining congress will meet at the Board of
Trade rooms to-day at two p. m. This will
be the last meeting but one before the con
grsss meets. and while the preliminary ar
rangements are In good shape, 1t isvery de-
sirabls that there be . full attendance to-
day, % that the tiLal details to be settled
may have the benefit Of a full discussion
of the committee.
Unless the mining men and mining COM
panies of the stste do better in the next few
days thar they have in the past, the mineral
display at the congress will be a disgrace in
stead Of q credit. There are not TO exceed
two dozen exhibitors 90 far. Az Montana's
exhibit at Chicago will be in large part &C.
lected from the display made At Helena,
II will DO readily seen that a poor showing
here means A poor showing at the Worlds
fair. The board of Worlds fair managers
is wo, king in conjunction with the mining
congress people for a good display, and
while hundreds make promises. but few
keep them. The executive committee OF
the mining congress has Assumed an OK
pense OF $500 or $500 in order to lake care
of and properly display a big mineral Ok
hibit, and it depends wholly ON mine own
ers what the result i&.
There are quite a number of specimens
owned by Helena people that would add in
terest to the mineral display. The COM
mittee would like to have them. and If the
owners will communicate with w. @.
Buskett. p. o. box 81, Helena, who has
charge of the exhibit, arrangements will
be made to get the specimens and return
them after the congress-. Among the big
companies that will do the right thing in
the exhibit is the Drum Lummon. They
have notified Secretary Ramsey. OF the
board Of Worlds fair managers, that they
will send their cabinet, and will also fur
nish two models of the mines. These latter
cost the company about $1,000.
