CLEVELAND, o. May 3.--Two reports,
one by the majority and one by the
minority will be presented to the Pres
byterian General Assembly by the conf
mittee on theological seminarics, which
has just closed its session in this city.
The committee could not agree upon a
unanimous report. 1t was decided that
the majority report should not be made
public prior to its presentation to the
Assembly. 1t was learned, however,
that the majority would recommend the
full control Of the seminaries rather
than the system OF voluntary schools, so
called.
