CHICAGO. day 21.-The meeting of the
Western Passenger Association lines,
which was to have been held here to-mor-
row. is off for an indefinite period. The
action of the Union Pacific in demanding
that the association leave out of the Ques-
ton that all eastpound business which the
Union Pacific receives through the same
agencies as it derives its westbound emf
grant business from is the rock on which
the split is likely to come. The Atchison

ilege is extended it. and, pending a vote
on the question. the association meeting
was adjourned to enable the recording of
the votes Of the absentees.
The meeting of the presidents of the
Western lines will be held on Wednesday
to settle, as far as possible, the troubles in

BRECKENRIDGE CONDEMNED.
The Southern Church Deals Harsh
Words to the Sinner,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 21.-Tha Gen.
eral Assembly of the Southern Presby-
terian church resumed its session to-day.
An overture was received from the Pres
bytery Of North Alabama to select COM
mittee to confer with a committee repre-
senting the Northern assembly with
organic union in view. The committee on
foreign correspondence presen ted its re-
port on the overture from the Presbytery
of North Carolina. asking that a commit
tee be appointed to negotiate with view
to closer relations with the Associated Re-
form church. The committee recon-
mended the adoption of resolutions ex-
pressing the readiness of the General
Assembly to renew negotiations in any
form agreeable to the assembly OF the Re-
form church. The resolution was adopted.
Rev. w. r. Woods of Baltimore offered
a resolution. which. while not referring 70
the Breckinridge case especially, states
that the assembly reafirms, as it always
has done. that sins against the seventh
commandment cannot be allowed In the
church and the assembly speaks its alb
horrence and condemnation of such sins
and considers their commission an injury
to the church. to society and to the State.
A motion to lay the resolution on the
table. resulted: Ayes 81, noes ga. The
resolution was then referred.
The committee on the Woodrow case
from the Augusta Presbytery reported
that, as a minister remains under the juris-
diction of the presbytery from which he
was dismissed until formally relieved by
another assembly. he is entitled to all the
privileges Of the dismlssing presbytery
and that the formal return of the letter is
not necessary.
The committee on organization with the
Northern Presbyterian Church reported
in favor of rejecting the overtures made
by that church. The consideration OF the
report Is set for tomorrow.

GOLD FLOWING OUT.
Treasury Officials Do Not Quite
Understand 1t.
Hope That They VIII Worry Along
Without Second Bond
Issue.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-The gold re-
serve will stand at about $50, 900, 600 when
the exports of the past week are deducted,
If there is no gain from any source in the
meantime. Small quantities of the yellow
metal are constantly coming into the
treasury for the customs payments, aud
ii no more exports are made early this
week the reserve is likely to be nearer
S64. 600. 600 than t1o lower figure. As
sistsnt Secretary Curtis is still hopeful
that exports will fall off during the next
ten days and practically cease after June
l. a loss of Sc, 100000 week. such as
was witnessed last week. would hammer
the reserve down close to S65, 600. 900 in the
next three weeks and force the Govern
ment to take some steps to replenish the
supply.
Some surprise is felt at the Treasury
that so much gold is taken for export
when there is an accumulation of nearly
go, 100000 in the Bank of England and
when the banking reserve of that in.titu-
tion is nearly a24. 600. oOO. the largest re-
corded since the passage of the act of
1874. The constant outho from this coun-
try is attributed to the accumulation of
idle money in New York, but especially
hloO " NiC VI DY the
Government over receipts. This excess is
equivalent to a constant addition to the
circulation, which offsets the contraction
which might otherwise result from the
withdrawal of gold. The passage of the
tariff bill, while calling for payments
abroad, would repleniSh the treasury by
increased customs receipts and the with
drawal of money from the bank reserves
to such an extent. it is hoped, that the rate
of interest here would rise and gold be
attracted from abroad.
CALCUTTA, May 21.-A dispatch from
Simla says the Currency Association has

Landing on North Island, They
Became Exhausted and Lay
Down to Die.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 21.-The schooner
FavOrite of the sealing fleet arrived home
this morning, in obedience to orders re-
ceived from The gunboat Hyacinthe to stop
sealing aud also to enable two members of
the crew. Charles Caulbeck and William
Hughes, to enter a hospital
They will be many weeks in the sur
geons' hands. and then complete recovery
to health even in years is doubtful. The
schooner was off the Queen Charlotte
group on the 9th OF March, when they left
in the stern boat to gather in a party of
seals. summing themselves on the ledge Of
rocks few miles away. There was q
clear sky, and carelessly they passed out
of sight of the schooner, not noting the
direction they were drifting.
Night came on, and with it a storm.
The wind increased to a gale toward morn
ing, but daylight was welcome. They
we're only thirty miles off shore and headed
in, but could find no place to land. Time
after time they went in, only to be driven
out again.
They had taken only a light lunch from
the schooner, and it was soon exhausted.
Caulbeck managed to bring down few
seabrds and ducks, and they devoured
them raw. Finally, after several days,
they made a landing on North Island,
where they found a piece of smoked
salmon, which they ate.
They finally became so weak that neither
could stand. and they simply lay on shore
to die. On the tenth day after leaving the
schooner and the third after reaching the
island an Indian canoe was sighted off
shore. They managed to crawl into the
boat and drifted out TO the canoe.
The Indians took them to Virago Sound,
and in their anxiety to do them good and
warm their half-frozen feet thrust them
into hot water, and as result each man
has lost his toes. and Hughes will have to
have his right foot amputated. From
Virago Sound Indians took the men to
MaSset. where Rev. Mr.. Keene cared for
them. The latter amputated the toes. but
could not remove the boue. He carefully
dressed the swollen and mortifying feet
and gave them every care and attention
possible. 1t will be several weeks before
Caulbeck can stand, and Hughes has not
yet improved to that extent.

1t is stated that the prosecution will ask

succeed Judge Chetlain in the criminal

means the prosecution intend, it is said, to
try the case before another Judge, as Chet-

of execution has prejudiced the prosecution
against him. Should Judge Chetlain re-
fuse continuance it is probable that the
