THE SILVER DEBATE.
Vain Topic OF Discussion in Chicago
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Chicago. May 1S.-The topic of dis
eussion here today was the joint de-
bate last night between the two ia
nous champions of the opposing sides
Of the money question-Prof. ]. Law
renee Laughlin and William H. Har-
vey (''Coin.'D 1t was not until Har-
vey had been speaking fully twenty
minutes, that the audience gave any
strong manifest of appreciation. The
first instance was when he claimed
that white" metal should be restored
to parity with ''coiored'' metal, with
out regard to race or previous condi
ton OF servitude."
This produced loud applause and
laughter and broke the ice, but the
speaker reached the highest point
when he indirectly likened Cleveland
and Sherman to donkeys.
Professor Laughlin inquired of the
chairman whether personalities were
not barred. Mr.. Harvey retOrted that
his language was justified by the re-
lation of the government to Roths-
child and the house rang with ap-
plause.
Professor Laughlin's address was
remarkably fluent, calm and self-pos-
sessed. He picked UP and answered
the points of his antagonist with bust
ness-like rapiGity. whlIe the audience
kept up running fire of laughter,
No vote was taken on the resolution

Washington. May 1S.-The annual
shad bake of the District Fair asso-
citation proved so much more attrae-
tive to some of the justices of the
supreme court today than the consul
tation room that the usual Saturday
conference of the supreme court was
postponed until next Monday morning.
In consequence Of this postponement
the final conclusion on the income tax
cases has been deferred until then.
The second conference on the ques-
ton is made necessary. according to the
best Information obtaiuable.- by the
fact that the position of at least one
of the members Of the court, believed
to be Justice Shiras. was not definitely
and absolutely announced last Satur-
day
Justices Harlan, Brown, White and
jackson had a. separate consultation
under circumstances which made it ap-
pear quite certain that Justice Jack
son had taken a position with thoss
VINO upheld the conStitutionality of the
law, and as there were known to have
been four members of the court who
had cast their votes in favor of sus-
tanning the law, the Inference was gen
orally drawn that with the accession
OF Justice Jackson a majority would
be found on the affirmative side when
that result should be announced. The
fact that one of the justices who had
formerly voted for the law asked for
further time to consider the case az
presented at the second hearing, has
since come to light, and this, with
other circumstances of a confirmatory
character, has led to a general i'm
preston that when the opinion shall
have been announced it Will be found
that the majority of the justices ara
opposed to it in all its details, and
that the law viii be declared uncOnstf-
tutional in toto.
1t is known that the members of the
court who opposed the law from the
beginning are hopeful and fairly con-
fdent OF this result, but they will not
allow themselves to feel absolutely as
sured until the final vote shall be
taken prior to going into court GA
The justices opposed to the law also
consider it possible that at this final
conference, when it appears, if it shall
so appear, that they are in the ma
JOr1ty, they may secure other acces-
SiOns. Such ''deathbed" conversions"
as member of the court calls it, are
said not to be so rare as supposed.
1t is said that the opinion is now be-
ing prepared on the theory that the
opponents of the law will have five
votes Chat is a. majority, and in this
event the opinion of the court, it is
said, will again be the work Of
Chief Justice Fuller.
There is a possibility that the opin-
ion may not be handed down on Mon
day next The members of the court
are themselves of the opinion that it
will be, but they say in view of a pos
sibility Of changes, it is impossible for
them to say positively.

San Francisco. May 1s.-Rev. G. F.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
Control of the Summaries is Now
the Throbbing Theme.

Control of the Summaries Is Now
the Throbbing Theme.
Pittsburg, May 1S-Assembly control of
the Summaries has possession of the
Presbyterian general assembly. even if
the assembly has not possession of the
seminaries, which it desires.
At the close of the morning session, ad-
journment was taken until Monday morn
ing, and the debate on the proposed plan
of gathering in the seminaries into a
close and guarded fold will be resumed.
The net result thus far attained has been
to divide the assembly into two clearly
marked parties, and it is judged that the
line of cleavage is near the numerical
center of the body. 1t seems probable
the vote of four TO one that was recorded
last year will be wiped out in large part
and the disproportion greatly reduced.
The committee which is urging the
adoption of the plan providing for closer
relations between the assembly and the
seminaries, saw itself compelled by the
strength of the opposition which has de-
veloped, to import Thomas McDougal, of
Cincinnati, a member of the committee,
to present the legal side of the case. This
he did in a speech Of an hour and quar-
ter, but he labored under a heavy handi-
cap on account of the pamphlet which he
recently, published attacking the integ--
rity and faithfulness of the boards of
home and foreign missions i'll New York
for using funds given for missionary pur-
poses III the erection OF q large building
on Fifth avenue. The peroration of his
speech was devoted to reviewing preju-
dices created by his pamphlet and the de-
gree of his success Will only be shown by
the final vote.
There is a plan on foot to secure the
adoption of an alternative report replac-
ing that Of the committee. 1t is proposed
to recommend that i'll view of the an
SWerS made by the directors of the exist
ing seminarieS setting forth their unwill-
ingness to make any charter changes.
these semnaries be let alone, and that
the restrictions that have been devised
by the committee will be applied only to
institutions that may hereafter be char
tered This plan will have strong back
ing, and will meet with good support.
One of the strong objections to the plan
of the committee on seminary control is
that which involves recourse to the civil
courts of the settlement of ecclesiastical
Thus far nothing has been heard Of the
deposing of DR.. Briggs, which was said
TO be under serious consideration. But

abeyance to be sprung upon the assembly |
at a later date.

THIS TIME A TIE.
L. OF c. HAVE A HARD TussLE
WITH U. OF p.
Pennsylvania Men Ascribe Their
Defeat to the Absence OF RAMS
dell, Their Crack Runner.

Philadelphia, May 1S.-The University of
California athletes verified their predic-
ton of hard tussle with the University
of Pennsylvania by scoring d tie in the
track and field sports today. The points
were not reckoned as they were at
Princeton last week. when the Tigers
were beaten 81 to 81.
Only firsts were counted today, and at
the finish each team had scored Z.
The threatening weather and the
steeplechase racing kept people away, and
there was an attendance of about 1000.
The Pennsylvania men ascribe the tie to
the absence of Ramsdell, the crack run
ner, who was not in condition to com
pete. They feel sure that he would have
won the 2:20 and 1 40 ward dashes and
made the score 10 in favor of the home
team. Many of the contests were excit-
ing, notably the mile walk and the 40
yard run.
In the walk, Marvin, of California.
slArted off with squirt, and kept the lead
until the third lap, when Fetterman, of
Pennsylvania, passed him. A moment
following his colleague, leaving Marvin
behind, but on the last lap the Californi-
an put on steam and won in a most ex-
citing finish by about four inches, Fetter-
man coming second.
In the 44O yards dash, Captain Koch, of
the California team, took the lead War
Ieil, u enIlSyIFdnIa, pushed him hard,
and Afterwards, after covering about 200
yards, passed him, whereupon Koch made
squirt and won by about three yards.
Ortonm. of Pennsylvania, won the half
mile without any difficulty, Sichel coming
in second Bradley, the Californian, was
not in it at any stage, and was SO used
up at the finish that he was unable to
compete in the mile run. which was a
walkover for Jarvis, of Pennsylvania.
The 220-yard dash went TO the visitors
with ease, Pennsylvania not being in il
from the start. Barnes finished first with
ScoggfRs a close second.
Both the hurdle races were handily TAX
