DELEGATES ON HAND
For the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Grand Mis-
 sionary Rally

Meridian. Miss, May 15.-(Special.)--A large number of delegates to the general assembly of the Cumberland Presbyte- rian church came in in advance today in order to be in attendance upon the mis- sonary rally, which convened in the Cumberland Presbyterian church, this city, at o'clock this morning. Super intendent J. w. Laughlin of the board of missions presided over the meeting.
 The first service was one of song and prayer, led by M. B. Dewitt, D. D., of Springfield, Mo. 'The Supreme Motive for Mission Work" was discussed by Rev. Willis smith, as per programme. 'The Effect of the Missionary Spirit Upon the Congregation" was the subject of a splendid essay by Rev. J. R. Lamb of Pennsylvania.
 Rev M. l.. Gillespie made a strong talk upon the duties of the church session in relation to the cause of missions.
 Our Work in Japan" by Rev. Fl. l.. Smith of Missouri, was good talk show ing the importance of Japan as a field for missionaries work
 Rev T. N. Williams of Texas spoke upon "Synodical Missions" and Rev. Ira Landreth upon "The Endeavor So- ciety as Related to Missions"
 Others spoke and the great rally was soon swelling with missionary enthu- siasm. The observer concludes at once that this church is full of push, pluck and progress, and is bent upon the work of spreading the gospel of Christ
 In the afternoon the crowd increased, and 'The Best Men for Missionaries' and 'The Inspiration for Millions" were ably discussed by Rev w. R. Grafton and others.
 Tonight Meridian will be overflowing with delegates to the general assembly, which convenes at Il a. m. tomorrow. Educated men. godly men, up to date men. do these Cumberland Presby- terians seem to be. There will perhaps be in attendance some 300 delegates, be- sides many visitors. There are dele gates from Texas, California Illinois and from the north. cast, west and south. This denomination never di- vided at any time, and where is a fra ternity so strong that war could not rend it asundar.
 It is a notable gathering and you would judge that a denomination with so much life must forge to the front. The meetings will be held in the city hall after today.
 Tonight at D. m Rev. R. NJ. Tin non of Lincoln, H., will deliver a dis course upon Mission Work"
 Friday there will be a debate upon the following subject: Resolved, That the Mission Work Has Done More Good Than the Work in the Congregations'

 portion of the route from Norfolk 10 Newport by the Chesapeake bay, Del aware river, Raritan canal and Long Is- land is familiar to Lieutenant Fletcher, commanding the Cushing, who has made a report upon it for guidance of officers. For several months he has been study ing the coast charts south of Norfolk to find out what channels afford the needed depth of 5R feet at ordinary tide The Gushing will go from Wash- ington by the Potomac to Norfolk, thence by canal to the chain of North Carolina canals, Currtuck, Pamlico Cove and Rogue. Past Beauford for a few miles from Cape Fear to Wynyaw bay she will probably be compelled to run out to sea, but the rest of the way is inland through the channels of the sea islands all the way past Jacksonville and along the Florida coast until she will be forced outside from Jupiter to Biscayne bay, whence Key West can be easily reached through passages among the keys.
 The naval officers expect to prove that with less than fifty miles of sand cutting an interior route is practical from the gulf to Cape Cod.

A COMPROMISE MEASURE,
Whereby Manitoba Catholic Schools WI
 Be Restored With Former Rights

Whereby Manitoba Catholic Schools Will
 Be Restored With Former Rights.
 Ottawa Ont, May 15.-Lord Aberdeen is using his influence to bring Arch bishop Langevin. Premier Greenway of Manitoba and the dominion government together, and as a preliminary step measure of cooperation has been drafted which 1t is believed will be assented to by all parties, re-establishing Catholic schools in Manitoba and removing the question from the Dominion parliament.
 As far as can be gathered, the Roman Catholics are to be restored to the rights of which they were deprived to the ex- tent of continuing the government grant to their separate schools, which are to be subject to government inspection. The teachers of these schools will be re- quired to secure certificates of com- potency. from which. however. the Cath ollie bishops ask that nuns and religious teachers be exempt.
 Everything now points to an early ad- justment of this mixed question, which promised to suDercede all other issues in the approaching dominion elections.
