Mr.. McDougall. Questions we're put to
the speaker from all parts of the house
with view of eliciting information.
They came quick and fast, 30 the mod
orator requested members to fire their
inquiries one at time. Prof. Craig, OF
Mccormick, expressed his dissatisfac-
tion at the proposed plane, saying he
anticipated that when the committee of
the assembly reaches Chicago, the ques-
tion of the directors of Mccormick will
be, not why have you devised this
scheme, but why have you not made il
more complete?
Rev. Mr.. Galloway, Of Paterson, Nj,
announced he was in general favor oi
the minority report, and be advocated
a course OF non-interference.
Several arguments for delay were
made and motions were made to thai
end, but they were each in turn tabled
just afterwards D. Harkel Of Denver
moved to substitute the recommendation
of the minority for those now before the
house.

churches was stated to be 1000. Men
tion was made with the commendatior
of the action of the board, it aiding the
students at Lane seminary after the &C
ceptapce OF the resignation of Prof

were made for more money with which
to prosecute the boards labors without

A representative from the Pacific
coast warned the bly, of the dan
ger of getting an uneducated ministry oi
