The recess should be postpOn ed that the
matter might be disposed OF before tue
afternoon session, but the oder of hot
coffee coming up from the rooms below
proved too much for the majority and OK
Judge ThOrnton's argument was left "to
be continued"
The ladies Of Trinity had prepared a
most abundant and palatable lunch in the
church parlors. and all differences of opiu-
ion seemed forgotten while it was being
discussed.
At o'clock, however, the session again
convened. when the matter of the Howard
Presbyterian Church and its pastor. Rev.
Kenneth j. Duncan, which had been set
for the first business of the afternoon
came up Tor settlement. Those who had
expected a sensation in regard to the case
were disappointed. for IL was disposed of
very quickly ana quietly.
Pale and scholarly looking, Mr.. Duncan
arose aud said that in consideration of
certain facts" which "had been made
known to the presbytery," he desired the
relations between himself and the How
ard Presbyterian Church TO be dis
solved
Elder Palmer. who appeared for the con-
gregatiOn. briefly stated the recent action
of the session aud congregation of his
church, and joined with Mr. duncan in his
request.
On motion of Elder Roberts it was so
ordered, to take effect Immediately.
Mr. Duncan then asked that, in cOnsid-
Grafton OF certain rumnrS which have re-

future usefulness. a committee of investi-
CATION should be appointed t. confer with

iect-d by the moderator to attend to the

with at once, and ex-Judge Thornton re-

Judges chamber the two INDUCED in a
rather warm argument
The controversy resulted in the Marshal
saying he would do the best he could to
get Sam Lo, ami that the much wan d
Celestial would probably turn up in China
town.
"One thing I am sure of. will know
him whe | see him." he observed with an
emphatic nod and an expressive twinkle
of the eye.
Several times during the contention he
repeated his threat to resign his office
rather than try to arrest any more Chinese
servants in private residences in the face
of any feminine opposition. Kearney
advised him TO get deputy to serve them
when the Marshal had repeated tnat threat
second or third time in Judge MOrrOw's
hearing.
''NO, and l never want one of my deDu-
ties in the same POSITION, either" the Mar
shal retorted, lOftily, as he threw his head
well back.
Mrs Blair was very much worked up
over the matter.
''Is it lawful" she asked. with a tone
that indicated deep feeling, as she seated
herself urOl a luxurious tete-a-tete chair,
'for an officer to cbme that way into peO-
pies private homes and arrest seTvanTs?"
Her cOuntenance was pleasant enough,
though, aud she had no harsh words for
Marshal Long.

PRETTY NEARLY A SURRENDER.

In the caucus OF the silver Congress-
men at Washington Wednesday resolu-
ton was adopted. which declared that
they would support a bill repeating the
Sherman law, II It provided for the
free coinage OF silver "at such ratio
as will provide and maintain the parity
between gold and silver"
This is an entirely new departure in
the action OF free silver advocates. Here
tofore their resolutions and platforms
have held rigldly to the doctrine that
coinage OF silver should be free at the
present ratio-sixteen TO one (under which
the silver dollar is worth forty cents
less than the gold dollar). That has
heretofore been the sine qua non. II
should be free coinage at sixteen to one.
or else the deluge. When It was pointed
out 10 these people that the silver dol
lar under this ratio was worth forty
cents less than the gold dollar, their
fixed and invariable reply was that the
Governments stamp OF Il as a dollar
would make ii a dollar. There was no
sense. but there was at least the con-
sistency OF nonsense I'm this. But this
resolution is a distinct abandonment OF
the cardinal proposition that coinage
shall be free at the rate OF sixteen TO
one. The press dispatches also inform us
that Mr.. Bland. chief juggier and the
chosen and acknowledged leader of the
simpletons. said, after the caucus:
I'VE shall probably vote upon the pres
ent ratio OF sixteen to one. and II that

so on. up TO twenty TO one. IL neces-

And our own special correspondent at

upon the theory OF free coinage at the

Some OF US are still Anglomaniacs, in
spite OF the trials we have undergone
because Of adherence TO the mother coun-
try. Many deyotees were lost to her
when she propagated the crinoline, and
many voices were appraised 70 denounce
the gracelessness OF her robes. So she
was forced TO withdraw into the back

Then her admirers came forward once
