THE PRESBYTERIANs.
The Union Seminary Directors Will Not Be
 Turued Down.


 PITTsBURG, May 23-Tho i'll success which attended the effort made in the Presbyterian general assembly on Tues day to turn down the directors of Un- ion Theological seminary, who were pro- posed for reelection as members of the board of homo missions, had a damaging effect upon a similar movement which was proposed concerning three more of those directors whose names came up for cleo ton to the foreign mission board on Wednesday. Tho further consideration was also effective that one of these direct ors was the father of the present moder- ator of the assembly.
 But the ghost of Union seminary will not down. A new proposal was adopted requiring the committee of conference with the theological seminaries to ascer- tain wAnt steps are necessary in order to gain possession of some of the endow- ments now held by Union, which she has been declared to have ''stolen" from the denomination. It is anticipated that the committee has undertaken largo contract
 The scene enacted in tho assembly when a collection was taken for the benefit of missionary candidates was quite as unus- ual as 1t was successful. It showed at least the practical bensvolence of the min isters and elders present The prsdom- finance of gifts from "liberal'' men and churches was remarked by some of the commissioners and also the fact that the largest subscriptions came from the east Most of the day was devoted to special missionary and educational interests.
 The general assembly of tho Pr0sbyte- rian church was formally opened in the Fourth church. Rev. John A. Wilson, the retiring moderator, preached his sermon last night He Is professor of church his tory in the Alleghany Theological ssmi- nary. He spoke on "The Church and Her Beloved. Most of his discourse tended to show tho growth of this denomination.

May 23.-Au night long the roads loading to tho Kick apoO country were crowded with men on horseback going to the kickapoo border in anticipation of the opening of the res ervation to settlement today at noon.

The banks gave notice that they would close for the day, and the report was started that a raid by outlaws was feared.
 Plenty of queer outfits are going out A bus drawn by four horses took out a town site party It carried big tents and wet and dry supplies, and inside were tho town projectors and the men who will open the first hotel and restaurant. One body of horsrmon. over 100 strong, started out. They presented a fine appearance as they went through the streets four abreast with winChesters and canteens strapped to their saddles The railroads have put cheap fares into effect and tA trains came in with people standing in Enc aisles of the cars and on the platforms. Many of them were compelled to walk the streets all night. as every bed in town had been en- gagged the night before
