SARATOGA, n. Y, May lS.-At the
opening of the second days session of
the 106th Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, this morning twas evident that the
commissioners had not recovered from
the surprising show of strength made
in the election of the moderator yester-
day by the Briggs party. The general
assembly is made up of men who are
likely to take the opposite view Of the
origin of the Bible from that held by
DR.. Briggs, but the vote of yesterday
shows so many Briggs men in the body
that the leaders of the orthodox party
are nervous. Prof. II. 5. Smith will
make fight to have the verdict Of sus-
pension by the Cincinnati =Presbytery
set aside.

The NIcfhOdiStS.

The General Conference of the NJ
f. Church South in Memphis yesterday
decided that no bishops be appointed
at this conference.
The committee on episcopacy report
ed that they had passed the character
of all the bishops and that there was
no evidence to sustain the charges pre-
ferred against Bishop R. K. Hargrove
of Nashville. These charges grew out
of the suspension by the bishop of DR.
D. C. Kelley, pastor of the church at
Ciallatin, Tenn, four years ago, when
the doctor was candidate for Govern
or on the prohibition ticket. The
charges were alleged perversion OF the
truth and misuse of authority on the
part of the bishop. The report was
adopted.
The early part of the morning session
was taken up with the reading of re-
ports and their reference to the calen-
dar. broken by frequent motions to
suspend the rules. DR.. A. G. Brown
of Virginia, was the only one who
succeeded in obtaining q suspension,
and that was for the Sunday-school re-
port.
1t is thought that the committee on
appeal will reverse the action Of the
Tennessee Conference in suspending
DR.. d. c. Kelley in 1890.
The conference showed very clearly
its determination to push matters for
ward, and adjournment by Saturday
is highly probable.
at the night session Revs. H. G. Nor
rison and W. R. Lambeth were elected
missionary secretaries. The rest of the
session was devoted to discussion of
the Epworth League report. 1t was
decided to elect one secretary, who
shall also be editor for the League.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 10, 1894.
1t HAS been rumored for the last two

ITHAs been rumored for the last two
or three weeks that this government Is
to withdraw from it's agreement with
England and Germany in respect OF
their present control of Samoa. For
the good of this country, it is hoped
the rumor may be founded upon fact
A great mistake was made when this
government broke its wise policy OF
avoiding entangling foreign alliances
and the sooner it mends that break the
better. 1t has as much as it can well
do-and late occurrences lead many to
suppose, more-to govern all the terri
tory within the limits of the United
States, without attempting to exerci:
authority over countries thousands OF
miles across the seas.

Miss S. Stuart, of Alexandria, in the
chair. Much business of Importance
was transacted.

MASSACHUSETTS and New York have
laws compelling children to go to school,
whether they want to or not. But
there might just as well be State laws
compelling the winds to blow in GER
tain direction. The advantages of free
schools are, to say the least, question:
bic, and to attempt to force children to
attend such schools against their will
i, absurd. But if that attempt must be
made, the means should be applied
rather to the parents than to the chill
dren, for if mother doesn't want her
children to go to school, the most in
quisitorialn laws will be required to
make her send them there.

AFTER ALL their protestations to the
contrary, the republican members Of
the U. S. Senate, by resorting to the
tritest and cheapest sort of filibustering
last night, made a glaring exhibit OF
their insincerity, and proved that their
intention is to defeat the tariff bill il
possible, and that to do so they will
avail themselves of every conceivable
means within their power. AS their
democratic colleagues are now aware
that test of physical endurance must
come, no matter how long postponed,
if they be wise they will bring it on at
once.

To SHOW the immense influence the
G. A. r. has in the North, it is only
necessary to mention the fact that Far
nam Post of that organization in New
York, which was suspended for ex-
pressing its opposition to the system OF
giving pensions to rich people and to
those whose disabilities were not incur
red during the war, has signi6ed its
willingness to apologize for having done
so, if an apology will secure its restora-
ton. The benefits of the organization
must be of great value when dirt eating
ia resorted to in order to retain them.

MR.. ALEXANDER Meade, of the

OF ALL the labor organizations in this
country, the American Order Of Steam
Engineers is unquestiorably the wisest,
for, at the opening of its present annual
convention in Baltimore, it's president
made the announcement that the order
had been true to its principles, refusing
to 90 on strikes or to take any part in
boycotts, which it looked upon as in
reference with individual rights" If
the presidents of all the other labor as
sociations could make similar an
nouncement, the wives and children of
the members thereof would bless them.

VIRGINIA's CLAIM.-Treasurer A. W.
Herman is not at all alarmed on account
of the demand made upon him By
United States Treasurer Morgan for
the payment of $4,000 of Virginia
State bonds held by the United States
as Indian trust funds. Virginia has
claim against the United States which
more than offsets this amount, and,
therefore, the claim will not be paid.
The Government recently sent man
to Richmond to see Mr.. Hartman about
the payment of the claim ard ne ex-
planned to him very fully the position
OF Virginia in the matter.

SOME of the newspapers of the State
are so dead in love with New England
isms that they not only condemn the
wise action of. the faculty of the Uni
versity of Virginia in rejecting the
woman's rights proposition to admit
girls into that institution as the fellow
students of young men, but yainly
imagine they are strengthening their
untenable ground by copying articles
to the same effect from certain of the
northern republican progressive"
press. Virginia habits and customs are
more conducive to the happiness of her
people than those of New England.

The committee on accounts reported
back resolution pro viding for the APP
pointment of clerk 10 the committee
on railways and canals, recommending
the passage of the resolution.
A humorous colloquy ensued between
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Cobb as to the ne
cessity for the clerk and the benefits
that might be expected to follow in the
way of dispatch of public business from
the appointment of the clerk. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Reed called
attention to the fact that private bill
day had been abandoned every week
this Congress.
The resolution received III aGfirma-
tive votes and % negative; and Mr..
Talbert suggested that no quorum had
voted. A vote by tellcrs produced a
quorum and the resolution was passed
-152 to %.
After the committees had been call
ed for reports Mr.. Bum, chairman of
the committee on war claims, stated
that, having been assured the commit
tee would lose nothing by surrender
ing to-day (Which, under the rules, was
private bill day., for the consideration
of general legislation, ne would not

Mr.. Reed asked him how he had
been assured that the private calendar
would lose nothing?
Mr.. Bum replied that he had been
told by the committee on rules that
another day would be given for today
for the consideration Of private bills.
Mr.. Reed-Well, will other days be
substituted for the private bill days
that have been lost in the past? -.
