MOSTLY AGAINST HIM
Debating the Case Of Prof Smith
at Saratoga.
PHE QUESTION OF SEMINARY CONTROL
A Protest Filed Against tho As.
sembIy's Action.
SIGNED BY DELEGATES 8

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 26-The Presby-
terian general assembly was occupied with
miscellaneous business for the first half
hour this morning. The report from the
joint committees on home and foreign mis-
sions upon the proposed new mission house
In New York was presented. and its recon-
mendation adopted after q brief protest by
Elder McDougall of Cincinnati
The recommendation was as follows:
THE general assembly sees no adequate
reason for reversing the approval Of the
last assembly, and the practically unani-
nous and deliberate judgment of these two
ably and loyalty constituted boards, regard
ing the administration Of the business af-
fairs committed to them. and the general
assembly therefore approves the records Of
these two boards relating to this subject"
The Rev. DR.. Hills Of Evanston. ILL.,. en-
tered protest against the action of the
general assembly on the subject of theologi-
cal semiparies on behalf of himself and
others. The protest was based upon the
control Is not within its rightful jurisdic-
tion and upon action. In 1870, declaring 1t
impracticable and undesirable. 1t was fur
ther opposed because the proper place for
1t is in the presbytery and because it would
reflect upon any seminary that refuses to
comply with the proposals of complete con-
troll over professors and directors.
The objection was also urged that consti-
Sisdli6c SHOulu preCeue the dCQul-
sition OF the power now proposed
The paper contained forty names, and
others were added during the session.
The assembly then listened to an address
by DR.. Striker, representing the Reformed
Church, and congratulatory messages were
read from the United Presbyterian general
assembly, in session at Albany, Ore.
Soon after 10 O'Clock the assembly took up
the calling of the roll for the expression Of
individual opinion on the Smith heresy case
Before recess seventy-one speeches on the
Smith case had been deliverd, two of them
of uncertain tenor. twenty-five in favor of
sustaining the appeal in whole or in part,
and forty-seven opposed to such action.
The desire of the assembly to hasten this
order was evidenced just before recess by a
vote to continue In session during the after
roon, and to begin half hour earlier than
usual.

TALK OF TROUBLE.
Some Feeling Between Journeymen
Bricklayers and Bosses.

Some Feeling Between Journeymen
Bricklayers and Bosses.
For some time past there has been talk
of trouble brewing between the boss brick
layers and the journeymen bricklayers in
this city. 1t begins to look now, however,
as though 1t might all blow over without
causing any serious consequences One
reason for this Is the fact that there IL so
little doing in the building world just now
that 1t would be a bad time for either side
to show its hand. ;sss.
it, The os,.ls trouble p ~ sx I Nm have y,
regular days wages ok the iourneymen is
"a, but there Is not 'sufficient work being
done TO give employment to anything like
the full number of men who are available.
The result Is. 50 the bosses say, that the
workmen have been joining together and
soliciting work In any amount and at prices
far below what the bosses would be COM
PEELED to charge If they were to give the
men regular per diem wages. In this
way the men are said to be working for
considerably less than the 81 day pre-
scribed by the union, at the same time
that they refuse to work for any less under
boss bricklayers.
A weil-known boss bricklayer told q
Star reporter late this afternoon that at a
recent meeting OF the bosses this action
on the part of the tourneymen was depre-
adopted condemning IT. There was also
some talk OF the bosses attempting to lower
the regular wages unless the men would
agree to desist from working at a figure
really lower than is laid down by their own
union. 1t is thought that II any such at
tempt were made 1t might result In a gen.
eral strike throughout the city, ordered by
the union. Comparatively few men would
be affected. however, inasmuch as there Is
so little in the way of building going on
that very few of the bosses have any num-
Der of men working under Them In other
words 1t is as II there were a general strike
or lockout. either. just now, and the order
ing OF men to leave their work would be
but mere .formality as there is no work
for them to do.
1t is not thought that the bosses will at
tempt to enforce their designs of lowering
their wages. and II the situation should I'm
prove so that they could offer work at the
regular wages and in plenty for all 1t is
only natural to believe that the men would
rather work for them at union prices than
for private parties at less. So 1t is that the
whole trouble is likely to blow over with
out anyone being hurt.

That big Claim.

The claim Of DR.. Zamorin Nouri, Arch.
bishop of Babylon. discoverer OF the ark,
and the possessor OF many other titles
against the United States, which seems to
have excited much interest In England
where the potentste is at present is well
known to the officials of the Department
OF State. They are by no means alarmed at
the rapid growth of the claim from $4,000
in Washington to 100000 in London. DIR.
Nouri was here last fall. and told the Tur-
kish minister the most extraordinary tale
OF how he was victimized. as the result of
a conspiracy in California, while on his
way to take part in the congress Of relig-
ions at the worlds fair. He claimed TO
have been robbed of valuables and illegally
confined in a lunatic asylum. and demanded
$4,000 In compensation. Without indorsing
this claim the Turkish minister referred IL
to the State Department The ofhcials
wrote to the California authorities. and u
appeared that the story was the creation OF
a diseased Imagination. so that even IL the
British government is induced 10 take up
the case IL will doubtless be easily satisnea
as to its lack of foundation.

mittee on rules of the Senate was consider
ably astounded when Star reporter told
him Of the discovery of the dead body on
the Capitol grounds this morning.
1.-The idea that such a thing could hap
pen practically without discovery" he said,
under the very dome of the Capitol Is
somewhat appalling. There Is no doubt in
duty at the Capitol Is much too small
There are twenty-four men, divided into
three reliefs of eight men each. working
eight hours At night there can be only
two men spared from the building for
patrol of the entire park.
II had conversation only this morning
with Senator Blackburn, Chairman of the
committee. in reference to this very matter
and he agreed with me that something
should be done at once to relieve this con-
dition of things. We are of the opinion
that the appropriations committee of the
Senate Will consent to an increase Of the
force to thirty-six men, which will give
more men for night service in the grounds.
Crying Necessities mt the Capitol. .
Nor can there be any dispute on the
question Of lighting. The Capitol Park Is
atrociously provided for in this particular.
There is no small town in the United States
with public park that does not recognize
the Importance to the morals and safety
Of its people coming from good illumina-
ton. These grounds should be almost as
light as day at any time during the darkest
night. 1 am very much in hope that We
shall soon be able to provide both in and
out Of the Capitol building an adequate
electric lighting system, and to this end l
have already introduced a resolution ask
ing the Secretary of War to investisate
the subject Of power to be derived from the
Great Falls for use in establishing an elec-
tric light plant to light the public buildings
and perhaps the streets of washington
Experts are now at work upon this inquiry,
and expect their report in short time
These grounds are used by many citizens
at night as a thoroughfare. but so great Is
the danger to life that many people. par
tfcularly women. have avoided the grounds
after dark as they would pestilence."

AN AGREEMENT TO VOTE.
Just ON the Border of a Mutual Un-
derstanding.

Just on the Border of q Mutual I'm
derstanding.
1t Is expected that at an early date an
agreement will be formally entered upon
as to the time when a vote shall be taken
on the tariff. 1t has been expected for
several days that Mr.. Harris would make
a move in that direction. The general un-
derstanding was that no agreement being
reached. an attempt would be made on
Monday to keep the Senate in session until
y or 10 O'Clock at night, and after that to
have sessions every night.
1t is now said that the two sides are just
hanging on the border of an agreement for
vote not later than June 15, an early
date being urged by the democrats, and
that the effort to hold night sessions will
not be made at once.
The general understanding has been
reached meanwhile that the metal schedule
is to be completed today, II possible, so rs
to have an early adjournment for the day;
the wood schedule to be completed on
Monday. and the sugar schedule to be taken
up on Tuesday. ON this last schedule there
will be a hot fight, which may last several
days. When this is done with the worst
will be over. and 1t is the expectation that
time for a vote on the bill can then be
fixed.

THE HOUSE.

There YVES an unusual number Of bills
taken UP and disposed of in the morning
hour in the House today to compensate
for the nun erous objections to the consider

Among those agreed to was one introduced
by Mr.. Geary Of California, granting certain
rights over Lime Point military reservation
in California for the purpose of constructing
a highway; also a bill granting to the VIII

A MARINE WONDER,
The British Hnvock the Fastest Vessel
AAOat.

Naval officials here have nothing to say
in regard to the discussion in the English
house Of commons concerning the United
States and the British torpedo destroyer
Havock. The Havock is a small boat of
about 30 tons displacement. She is about
twice as large as the Cushing. She was
built by the Yarrow Company. and the pecu-
liarity of the boat is her speed. which has
run up to 26I knots, or more than any ves-
sci Of. her size in the world. Doubtless 1t
was this remarkable achievement which in
duced our naval officers to make an effort
to obtain her plans and see how 1t was
done. There has not been much concealment
in such matters between our Navy Depart
ment and the British admiralty heretofore,
and neither has hesitated to apply to the
other for information whenever desired.
British officials have been supplied freely,
not only with informa ton Of, but opportu-
nifty for. watching the tests Of modern ar
NOR plates produced by our patented pro-
cesses. and In return we have been cour-
teously treated whenever application has
been made to the British for information,
but whether the plans OF the Havock have
been 80 procured cannot be learned.

Secretary Lamont has gone to his home
at McGrawville. N. Y, for few days The
heavy reductions to be made in the clerical
force of the War Department July will be
announced in few days. in order to relieve
the anxiety Of the clerks who are not to

who are to be dropped opportunity to
seek other employment before their present
income ceases At least. Secretary Lamont
has been urged to follow this plan. and IL Is
generally believed he will do SO.
