PITTsBuRG, May 24.-The Presbyterian
6enerm Assembly demonstrated yester
day that its action in continuing directors
pf Union seminary as members Of church
fsrds, which was taken on Tuesday and
yednesday, would seem TO have been die
tated by fear of the result which might
follow the policy of exclusion. Tho policy
adopted yesterday is the beginning of an
active warfare against the New York sem
inary. 1t Is said that other measures even
more drastic are in contemplation, but as
TO their exact nature nothing could be
learned
The question of the relation of the stu
dents of Union seminary to tho presbyter
OF New York came up on an overture
from that body. long opinion was dc
hvered, and 1t was recommended that the
presbytery of New York be instructed and
enjoined not to receive under its care for
Hcensure students who are pursuing or
purpose to pursue their studies in theolog
foal seminaries respecting whose teachings

bility.
Ihls motion was carried by n large vote,
and in announcing the result Moderator
Booth and the New York presbytcry prob
ably would note the instructions given by
Its superior authority and would obey Its
orders.
The opposition to this action was de.
naded, but it was insufficient to affect the
vote of the assembly
The rule In the Presbyterian church is
for students Of the ministry to present
themselves to somo presbytery at tho out
set FOR examination and approval of their
intention to enter the ministry, and to mp,
pear regularly during their course or study
for further examination and approval of
thsir progress Such a student is said to
Be under care of the presbytory The pres
hytery is supposed to take tho place of a
father to them. As tho approval of the
local presbytery Is necessary to II young
minister who seeks his first appointment,
the adoption Of this rule Is practical boy
eott Of the students Of Union seminary.
The policy adopted yesterday is the be-
ginning Of an active warfare against the
New York seminary, which is avowedly
intended to bring Ii to its knees or drive
u entirely out of all relations with the
church. 1t Is said that other measures
even more drastic arc In contemplation,
but as to their exact nature nothing
eould be learned.
Some of the matters passed upon were
Of general interest to the denomination,
but the bulk of the work affected the
boards of tho church and their missionary
on benevolent work. The evening session
was devoted to tho quarter centennial
celebration Of tho reunion Of the old and
hew school branches of the church, which
occurred In the Third Presbyterian church,
Fttsburg, in 1870.

Sudden and Unexplained Departure of
John j. Crogan, Well-knOwn Saloon
Keeper-Went Away Last Friday and
Has Not Since Been Seen-Supposed to
fiaye GONE to Ireland.
John j. Crogan, who for some time
has kept saloon at the northeast
corner OF Fifth and Tatnall streets,
left his home suddenly last Friday and
nothing has been seen of him since.
An acquaintance stated lass Monday
that he thought Crogan had gone to
Ireland.
just previous to his disappearance
Crogan borrowed S22S from John J.
McElwee, his landlord, to make up his
license fee. He drew the check at the
Union National Bank, and on Friday
gave his individual check for $500 to
Clerk of tho Peace Foard to pay the
license fee.
Mr.. McElwes stated last Monday
that in addition to the loan, Crogan
owes rent. He had an attachment
issued on the personal effects and Con-
stable Harry r. Smith made u levy on
Monday morning.
Crogan was bachelor, about 80
years of age, and lived with his two sis
tiers, Margaret and Mary. When he
left he gave them no intimation that
he intended to do 80. They are heart
broken over his disappearance, and are
at loss to account for it, as it is
thought he was doing a good business.
Mr. McElwee will have the place
licensed and run it in his own name
until be can find a suitable person to

OF tho people in any Of the contributing
States, but il rests largely upon the
fact that these States are members of
benehcently governed nation, whose
natural resources and advantages every
where havo been developed and inn
proved by the influence of free institu-
tons, and whose people have been
stimulated and encouraged by tho
blessings OF personal liberty.
A contemplation of the benefits
vouchsafed to us by our government
easily reminds us Of the Importance of
q hearty and united co. operation in
/ their support and protection. We
should lovingly watch and guard 1t, not
only because we ere recipients of its
precious gifts but for its own sake,
and because it has 9been put in our
hands in sacred keeping, to provo to
the world that man can be trusted with
self-government ~,
We shall walk in the path of patri-
otto duty il, remembering that our free
institutions were established to pro-
mote the general welfare, We strive for
those things which benefit all our peo-
pie and each of us is content TO receive
from a common fund his share of the
prosperity thus contributed. We shall
miss our duty ana forfeit our heritage
IL, in narrow selfishness, we are heed
less of the general welfare and struggle
to wrest from the government private
advantages which can only be gained
at the expense of our fellow country
men.
| hope / may, therefore, be permitted
in conclusion, to suggest as most i'm
portant lesson taught by this occasion,
tho absolute necessity to our national
health and welfare, and consequently
to our individual happiness as citizens,
Of a careful discrimination in our sup
port of policies and in our advocacy Of
political doctrines between those which
| prompt the promotion of the public
welfare and those which simply seem
to serve selfish or sectional interests.
If we arc tn enjoy the blessings our
governmentywas framed to fairly and
| justly bestow, we shall secure them in
due time, by, cultivating spirit Of
broad American brotherhood, and in
sisting upon such conduct as will,
within the spirit of the golden rule,
| promote tho general welfare.
