TIE GENERAL AssEMBLF's WORK.
Discussion OF PoiyGnmous Marriages OF
Members In India.

PITTSBURGH. May 27.-The Presbyterian
General Assembly to-day discussed the stand
ing OF polygamOus members of the Church
in India. A Mohammedan was admitted to the
Church, and he was allowed TO retain both
wives In his house. a memorial was presented
ask ing the General Assembly that final power
be- given to the Synod Of India in such cases.
A protest against this memorial was filed and
the whole matter was laid before the Assem-
bly's standing committee on Church polity.
The answer OF the committee was that no action
be taken on the ground that according to the
hook OF Rules. polygamous marriage was for
hidden. and the Church session was the consti-
tuted authority to decide upon the admission Of
persons to the sacraments. Dr. Thompson, rep
reacnting the committee. explained that the
committee was indispOsed to interfere until a
judicial case investigating the question of polyg-
amy WAS before it,
