GOVERNOR MCKINLEY of Ohio mer
its and will receive the hearty sympa.
thy of people throughout the country,
whether they agree with his political
views or not. 1t seems probable that
he will have to pay the notes of a
friend for whom he has indorsed heav-
lily The amount may reach 800, 900,
which is much more than Mr. McKin-
ley is worth. He and his wife have
turned over all of their property for
the benefit of these creditors. The
man who is willing to risk something
to help friend in need is a friend iu-

with great detail that he believed the
Bible to contain the word of God and
considerably more, and thst Christ is not
the Son of God in the usually accepted
sense, but in-well, in a sense that the
ordinary layman has never been able to

tenden. Center college at Danville had
been chartered by the legislature in 1919,
and in 1880 DR.. John c. Young was
elected president. He died in 1857. having
been president p years, and 81 years lat
er the trustees elected his son, DR.. Will
liam, as president. Though he entered
ON the duties late that year his formal
Inauguration was postponed to the seven
teth anniversary Of the founding of the
college. Oct. 0, 1889, was indeed a proud
day in the history of Danville and Cen
ter college.
After his graduation there in 1859 DR..
Young passed some years in teaching
and reading, then took complete theo-
logical course, Travelled some time in Pal
estlne, filled pastorates in various places
--one being seven years charge at Full
lerton Avenue church, Chicago whence
he returned to his native state and was
for eight yeaTspastor of the Central Pres
byterian church of Louisville. Thence
he went to take charge of his alma ma
ter. When the general assembly con-
vened at Portland, Or, last year, an I'M
usually spirited contest ensued over the
choice Of moderator. Eight candi-
dates were placed in nomination, and
on the third ballot DR.. Young received
262 of the 525 votes. Having served most
acceptably as moderator there, he is the
proper official to open the proceedings at
Washington.
1t is estimated that the assembly will
sit for IL days, with morning and after
noon sessions only, unless the business
shall press toward the close. Revision
of the creed must be settled this year,
and the Briggs case may be. After many
years discussion various presbyteries
sent in their overtures, and at Portland
the assembly referred 2S Of these over
lures to the presbyteries for final action.
First in popular interest is the proposed
change in chapter 10, section 3, so that it
will read thus:
Infants dying in infancy and all other per-
sons not guilty Of actual transgresson are in
oluded in the election Of grace and are regen-
Grated and saved by Christ through the Spirit
who worketh when and where and how he
pleaseth. So also are all other elect
persons who are not outwardly called by the
Word.
This is to be construed in connection
with these words elsewhere:
The rest Of mankind God saw fit, according
10 the unsearchable counsel of his will, where
by he extendeth or withholdeth mercy as ho
pleaseth, not TO elect unto everlasting life, and
them hath he ordained to dishonor and wrath
for the sin, TO the praise Of his glorious Justice
yet hath he no pleasure in the death of the
wicked nor is it his decree, but the wickedness
of their own hearts, which restaineth and him
dereth them from accepting the free offer Of
his grace made in the gospel
All the world knows the history of the
Briggs case 1t is therefore only neces-
sary TO summarize it and present the
issue as it will come before the assembly.
DR.. Charles Augustus Briggs, professorin
Union Theological seminary and as a
preacher amenable directly TO the New
York city presbytery, adopted the views
of the German school and taught them

The recent growth of the United States
navy is justly "A matter of pride and joy

tunity for comparison with other nations
in New York harbor-our pleasure is
by no means lessened. At the great naval
review the Argentine Republic rather as

ing with a cruiser that can make 23i
knots an hour and is therefore claimed
to be the fastest afoat. The United
States, however, held her own hand
somely in the general exhibit, but for
full appreciation of the comparisons to
follow few words of history must be
prefaced.
When the civil war was officially de-
clared at an end, the government had 400
vessels, of which 191 were originally
merchant vessels and were sooH restored
to that service. Many others were sold
and refitted for the merchant service,
and so rapid was the decay as well as
the change in naval warfare that nearly
all the others were soon reduced to the
value of old junk. In truth, the navy
was got rid of only little less rapidly
than the army, and all at once the coun-
try woke up to the fact that it was prac-
tically without a modern navy.

Not more than three assemblies at any
rate have been more important, and pos
sbly but two-the one which organized
the church Immediately after the United
States became nation and that of 1870,
which completed the reunion of old
school and new school, which had been
separated about 33 years. At the COM
ing assembly an earnest attempt will be
made to give final settlement TO certain
questions which have troubled the church
for several years, chief among them the
revision Of the confession of faith and
the famous-one might almost say noto-
rious-Briggs case.
The New York Avenue Presbyterian
church is one of the historic places OF
Washington. The name was taken in
1859, when the old F Street and Second
Presbyterian churches were united I'M
der the pastorate of Rev. DR.. Phineas d.
Gurley, who took the lead in building
the present edifice. In 1852 the old con-
gregation welcomed the general assem-
bly, of that year. In the original con-
gregation, Presidents Andrew jackson,
John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce
were frequently present in their terms,
and the attendance Of the last named at
the prayer meetings was subject of
frequent remark. James Buchanan oc-
cupied pew there regularly, and Abra-
ham Lincoln made it his religious home
30 far as he had any. Today it has a
very large proportion of eminent Off
Gals among its attendants
Nevertheless when DR.. Bartlett was
called to the pastorate in 1882, the men,
bership was but few over 500. 1t rapid
ly increased to 1900, and the original
church has founded two others, the
Church Of the Covenant and the Gurley
Memorial, and sustains two flourishing
missions. William Alvin Bartlett was
born Dec. 4, 1882, in Binghamton, N.
Y, and was graduated from Hamilton
college in 1852, since which time his ca
reer has been one Of extraordinary &C
tivity. Among of his classmates and init
mates at college were the present Justice
Merwin of the supreme bench of New
York, Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, the presi-
dents brother, Charles Dudley Warner
and Professor Fisk of Cornell, and
though Bartlett was the youngest (but
10 when he graduated all the others
conceded him the honors Of the class,
and he has since worn the Phi Beta Kap-
pa badge ON his watch chain.
While still minor he was made act
ing professor of Greek, Latin and elocu-
ton at the institution near Staunton,
Va. A year later he entered Union
Theological seminary, New York. and
after graduating there with high honors
took course in Halle and Berlin, de-
voting special attention to what is now
called higher criticism. He has held
pastorate sat Owego, N. Y, Brooklyn,
Chicago and indianapolis, and has done
an immense amount of outside work, such

THE PRESBYTERIANS.
PREPARING FOR THE GENERAL AS
SEMBLY AT WASHINGTON.

They VIII Meet In a Historic Edifice and
Discuss the Case of DIR. Briggs and the
Revision of the Creed-Leaders of the
Church.
One hundred and four times have the
Presbyterians of the United States as
represented by commissioners met in
general assembly, and on May 18 600
commissioners from PIT presbyteries will
in the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church of Washington constitute the
one hundred and fifth general assem-
bly,. The place of meeting is truly his
toric, the men in charge are thorough
" representative of their church and ma
ton, and there is every indication that
the gathering will be noted in history.
Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1893-05-13

In 1881 naval advisory board was
created, which reported that for proper
defense in time of war this nation abso-
lutely needed 81 armored vessels, 20 I'M
armored cruisers, 8 rams, 5 torpedo gun
boats and 20 torpedo boats. On March
3, 1888, the act was passed ordering three
cruisers and one dispatch boat. The
contract was awarded to John Roach 81
Sons, and so the reconstruction Of the
navy began. These three cruisers were
the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, and
the greatest speed averaged by any of
them was 49, knots.
Secretary Whitney then took control
in the Cleveland administration and was
confronted at the start with the fact
that a complete revolution had taken
place even while the Roach vessels were
being finished. Compound engines had
given place 10 twin screws, and twin
screws were fast giving place to triple
expansion engines. The first result was
the Newark built by the Cramps at
cost of 81 PAS 600, with triple expansion
engines which maintained l9t knots per
hour for four hours. Then came the
Baltimore, at a cost Of 81, 1926, 600, with
engines which Outdid those of the New
ark by very slight fraction. And so
the improvement went ON till the San
Francisco was put afoat with horse
power Of 1O,4C0 and speed Of 20.17
knots. And now we are promised three
more at an early date which will main
tain speed of 81 knots for some hours,
and after that still further advances.
In the meantime, here is the Nueve de
Julio, which can 20 at the rate of 23i
knots per hour and slipped across the
New York was a complete surprise.
Though an Argentine ship, she is Eng
lish built and came fresh from the ia
nous yards of Sir William Armstrong,
Mitchell & Co., Newcastle. Her name
means 9th Of July, which is independ-
ence day TO the Argentines. She went
first to the Azores, and her trip thence
TO New York eclipsed, for a continuous
run, the best showing Of the fastest At
lantic liners. No other cruiser in the
world can compare with her on long
run, but Italy and Spain have gunboats
which can Guido her for short distance.
She is large steel unprotected cruiser,
driven by triple expansion engines which
revolve twin screws. The speed guaran-
teed by her builders was 1927 knots. She
has $500 tons displacement, horse
power of 800 and carries 12 long and
"a quick firing guns. At first view it
seems incredible that such bulk on so
yielding a surface as that of salt water
could go at almost the average speed of
passenger train, but what is seen must
be believed.
About the time of the Nueve de Julio's
arrival the new United States cruiser
Detroit made her trial trip in front of
New London, Conn, and was at once
pronounced the fastest in the world Of
her class. Her contractors, the Column
bian Iron Works and Drydock company
of Baltimore, had guaranteed II knots
per hour, and she made nearly 10, so
they will receive n premium of about
100000, the largest ever paid by any
government on the completion of vessel.

TIE following from the Grand
Forks Herald shows the esteem in
which the Hon. w. N. Roach, Demo-
cratic nominee for u. s. Senator, is
held by even his political opT onents.
Hon. W. N. Roach is the candidate
of the democracy for y. S. senator.
He is II clean man. He was for Il
time a resident Of Washington, hav-
ing a position in one of the govern
ment department But it is not at
all likely he will have even a temper
airy residence in the capital this year.
The democrats are not going to elect
a senator this time in this state.
Grand Forks county appreciates the
honor, however, Of having one Of her
citizens named for the high position.
Mr.. Roach's personal friends are not
confined to one party; he is popular
with all who know him. The Herald
congratu ssates the democrats on their
selection Of a candidate.
