and he believed he knew something Of the char

acter of the overtures referred to. He was of
the opinion that if the assembly was aware of
their character that they would all be remanded
back to the presbyterles. These papers had
reference to judicial case that would come
before the assembly and was now before the
Judicial committee, and they were designed to
affect the judgment in the case. He thought
that such papers ought to be stamped with dis
approval and pigeon holed by the committee
on bills and overtures. He believed that it was
an outrage on Justice and that either the COM
mittee ought to turn such witnesses down or
report them to the assembly for its action.
DIR. Herrick johnson said that this was not a
question as to the Interpretation of law. The
law simply provides for the reference Of the
matter to the synod if the assembly deems ad-
visable. Now, the question was not Of law. but
of expediency, and the assembly certainly
should have the enlightenment contained in
these overtures as to the sentiment Of the pres
byteries.
Mr.. Endaly asked what question Of reference
was before the assembly.
DIR. johnson said he was replying to what
Judge Wills had said on the assumption that
this was question of law. 1t was not ques-
tion of law. but one of expediency. and on that
ground the presbyteries which had overturned
the assembly ought to be heard.
ANOTHER JUDGE SPEAKS.
Judge Purnell said this was a judicial case
brought to the highest judicatory of the church.

This morning was a sort Of go-as-you-please
for the royal party at the Arlington. There
was no formal program for them to follow until
after their midday breakfast. Visitors
came and went, especially the latter.
Her royal highness saw no one The party
is just little fatigued. The warm weather has
something to do with increasing this feeling,
and yesterdays program of sightseeing through
the Treasury, Capitol and on top of the Washing
ton monument was rather hard work. Talk
ing it all over yesterday it was decided to leave
this morning an idle one.
So the princess and her household walked
out little, drove a little, but rested more than
anything else. At noon time breakfast was
served and at l the entire party with the
Spanish minister went for tall Who drive. The
destination was Cabin John bridge, and, per-
haps, to the Great Falls.

TARIFF To BE REVISED.

Congressman O'Neilrs Views on the Prob
able Action of the Coming Congress.
NEW YORK. May 2s.-Congressman Charles
oNeill of Philadelphia. the father Of the House
of Representatives, who was elected last fall to
Congress for the fifteenth successive time. told
a reporter today tha: he expected to see the tariff
completely revised at the next session Of Com
gress.
Il do not believe, however" he continued,
that the Mckinley bill will be repealed in its
entirety. believe that the efforts OF the DEM
ocrats viii be directed toward picking it to
pieces. In this way they hope to keep a good
campaign cry in use.
Il am also inclined TO the opinion that the
revision will be more on lines laid down by
Col. Morrison in his horizontal bill of ten years
ago than on the more recent plan of Mr.. Mills.
Morrisons bill provided for a 10 per cent re-
ducuon annually for ten years, which would
bring the tariff down to a low point indeed
''Col. Morrison will be pleased if this plan ID
adopted. as Il will be vindication Of hie course,
and as be was the MARTYR to the cause Of free
trade he deserves to be remembered. Morrison
Is broad man in every respect. and even his
political opponents admire and like him. though
differing with him on economic questions.
when he was appointed interstate commis-
sioner we were pleased. and there is a great
deal of regret expressed in Washington that
President Cleveland did not see fit to appoint
him Secretary of the Interior. He is peculiarly
qualified for the duties of that important de-
partment"
Speaking OF the extra session Congressman
ONeill said: ''Of course i am not in the con-
fidence Of the administration. but understand
that there will be an extra session in Septe mber
10 consider the financial question, especially
silver. There can be but one opinion as to its
importance. Ii oyershado~s all others and ID
closely interlaced with the tariff. fail TO see
that anything can be done except by compro-
mise, and look for something like the re-enact-
ment of the Bland law.and then the question can
be taken up from that standpoint"

preparatory stages of court by appeals to it
bearing upon a matter under investigation.
Suppose the appeals were intended to stimu
late q prosecution and were against the de-
fcndant? He did not believe the idea of re-
ferring them to that committee would be en-
tertained for moment in such case. He
thought that it was enough that this committee
should pass upon the questions of law before it.
He did not think it right that they should have
fifty or sixty overtures on the subject referred
to it. He thought these matters should como
before the assembly itself when it acted on The
questions
Prof. Brown said that it was matter of
pleasure to some of them to know that there
were fifty or sixty such overtures. He argued
that the proper mode of procedure, and the one
the assembly had right to the considera-
tion of them by the judicial committee.
DIR. Young said that the committee had
simply followed precedent. DIR. Booth. he
said. was mistaken in saving there were fifty or
sixty such oyertures. There were not nearly SO
many.

A SERIOUS RUPTURE
Between the Japanese and Coresn Govern
ments Happily Averted.

between the Japanese and Coresn Govern
ments Happily Averted.
The friendly mediation Of the United States,
through Secretary Gresham. has ave-ted a
serious rupture between the governments of
Japan and Corea- A few months ago the
latter country was threatened with famine,
export of coffee and grain was temporarily
prohibited. The trade in these commodities
was mainly in the hands of Japanese merchants
resident in Corea, and the eiict against their
expectation paralyzed their business.
They made a vigorous protest against tae
summary enforcement of the decree and
asked short delay in order that they might
at least comply with their existing contracts
WOULD MAKE NO CONCESSIONS.
The Corean government was in state Of
panic, however, and would make no concessions
whatever. The cause of its subjects was as
sumed by the japanese government and
demand was made for the revocation of the
Objectionable decree.
The Coreans maintained their position as lust
and reasonable under the circumstances and
refused to modify the decree against exports in
any respect.
TIE SITUATION SERIOUS.

look as if the two countries would go TO war.
The japanese government recalled its minister
from Corea and issued orders for the fitting out
OF a war expedition against lite western neigh
Dor. The commercial nations of the world
naturally became alarmed at the danger TO their
large interests in Japan and Corea and steps
were taken to avert an actual resort
to warfare. The United States took
a leading part in the negotiations
for a peaceful settlement of the difficulty, ana
Secretary Gresham instructed our diplomatic
representatives at Toxic and Seoul TO use their
best endeavors to have the claim of the japan
ese government adjusted on an honorable
basis.
COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
Secretary Gresham bad frequent conferences
to the same end with the ministers Of Japan
and Corea at this capital, with the
gratifying result that the Corean gov
ernment has finally agreed to
pay the japanese government an indemnity Of
$4,000 in settlement Of the claims Of the jap
anese merchants. 1t is understood that this is
a compromise between the amount offered and
the amount demanded.
The incident closed within the past few
days, and the result can be mo6estly regarded
as a splendid achievement on the part Of our
diplomatic representatives. as but for their
good Offices the two eastern countries would
undoubtedly have gone to war.

THE ATLANTA's SLOW TIME,
She Has Taken Ten Days Longer Than wa
Expected.

Sue mas laheu len DAYS Longer Than w as
Expected.
There is some disappointment among
officials of the Navy Department over
the Glow trip of the Atlanta, and it is even in
sinuated that her commanding officer, Capt
Higginson. hopes in this way to vindicate his
judgment against her starting with defective
boilers. The vessel left New York on the 18th
instant and was expected to reach her destina-
ton, Greytown, Nicaragua, on the 18th instant
The Boston, her sister ship. made the same trip
in five days three years ago, when there was no
special necessity for haste. The Atlanta ar
rived and sailed from Kingston. Jamaica, on
the 2lst instant. and will probably reach
Greytown tonight tomorrow. She has al
ready been ten days on the trip. 1t is possible
that she has had bad weather and adverse
winds.
Capt. ]. r. Bartlett. who will succeed Capt
Higginson in command OF the Atlanta. left New
York today for Greytown per merchant steamer,
and will reach there few days later than Capt
Higgirson. The ls.Inr will return home at
once. 1t is expected that the court Of inquiry
which he asked for will be appointed as soon
after his return as the necessary witnesses can
be gotten together.

723 missionaries employed by the board eight
had died during the year. An officer of the
board had been especially appointed to look
after the work undertaken by the Christian
Endeavor and Westminster Societies. Refer
cnce made to the instructions given
to the agents of the board not to interfere with
other denominations in organizing churches or
to establish churches needlesslv. The board
carries on schools in connection with its work
and i'll different parts of the country has l22
schools in operation equipped with 379 teachers.
The report touched upon the increase in the
immigration TO this country and added that
while during the last year over 5000, 600 had
been contributed by the churches for homo
mission work, yet to do adequately tho work
that was before the board it would be necessary
to double this amount for the ensuing year.
Last year. he said, there were over 1.SO0
churches that did not contribute to home mis-
sions. He urged that all ministers take the
subject home to these churches and urge the
Importance of giving to this work, for which
there was SO much need.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
The committees recommendations were in
the form of resolutions commencing the work
of the board, cnjoining it to spend more in the
evangelization of cities; that the work of the
woman's executive committee be,encouraged;
that Sabbath schools set aside days for home
mission contributions, and that the presby-
teries be cautioned as to making recommenda-
tions of churches for aid.
CHURCHES THAT SHOULD BE ABANDONED.
When the report was made DIR. Graham sup
plemented it with brief address especially
dwelling upon the Importance of presbyteries
exercising more care in recommending churches
to the board for aid. He spoke of one church
that had been on their rolls and drawing from
the treasury for sixty years. In his opinion
