SPRECKELS FAMILY ROW.
The Sugar King COnfesses Judgment
In His Sons Suit for Slarder.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1s.-Claus
Spreckels, the sugar king, accompanied
by his wife and daughter left New York
last night on their way to Europe Before
departing Spreckeis confessed judgment on
the suit for slander brought against him
by his son, C.. A. Spreckels, who asked
$500 damages. The reason given for this
action is that Spreckels senior received in
formation that his would seek to pre-
vent his departure for Europe. According
ly, the loyal sons-John ID. and A. 3.
Spreckels-in order TO save their father
further annoyance, instructed the attor-
neys in the case to confess judgment and
end the matter for the present. But Claus
Spreckels. will not admit that he has con-
fessed judgment in moral sense, so he
mas instructed his attorneys to begin suit
for an accounting against c. A. Spreckels
10 compel him TO account for all the money
he handled for his father. The attorneys
nave also been ordered to bring suit
against Rudolph Spreckels, who has sided
with his brother. in the quarrel with their
datheri Ia to peeoyer sSo1.oOo worth & of stock
which Rudolph claims his father gave him
in 1893, and from which he is now drawing
5000 a month dividends, which, 1t is al
legged, he Is using 10 supply the sinews Of
war against his parent.
The trouble in the Spreckels family COM
menced over a year ago, when c. A.
Spreckels sued his father to recover stock
In the Hawaiian Commercial Company.
This suit was compromised, and then Ru-
dolph followed with suit to prevent the
Claus Spreckels as security to the Nevada
Bank. Following this came the suit

UNITED PREsBYTERIANs.
Control of Seminarics to BE Consid-
cred by the General Assembly.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 1S.-Next Wednes-
day, the 22d inst, the General Assembly of
the United Presbyterian Church will meet
in this city. About three hundred dele
gates are expected, and the assembly will
last probably ten days. The question OF
seminary control, which is now racking the
brains of the learned brethren of the Pres
Dyterian Church, Will also engroSS the at
tention of the United Presbyterians for the
greater part of the time, but not much
trouble is anticipated, the different
synOds of the church have all given their
votes in favor of more complete control Of
the seminaries by the General Assembly,
and all this body will have TO do is to hear
the report of the committee and adopt it
as presented, unless some particularly OBJ
noxious clause has found its way into the
report which will have to be eNpurgated
Another question to be considered is that
of retrenchment or advance by The church.
There are two questions TO be taken into
consideration in this connection First. the
demands of the church, and second, the
ability Of the church TO meet them.
The fight for moderator goes with Cn-
abated energy, but the indications now are
that Rev. J. B. McMichael will win. The
doctor is one of the most prominent men
in the church, being president Of the Mon
mouth College, which is situated at Mon
mouth, Ill. His most dangerous opponent
is DIR. Moorehead, of the Theological Semi
nary of Xenia .. The far Western men
also have a candidate in the person of
DR.. Mccormick, of San Francisco, who is
also an able man and prominent in the
church TO-DAY.

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN
The Question of Organic UniOn-Num-
ber of Sunday schools.

DALLAS, Tex, May 1S.-The third days
session of the Southern Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly was consumed by reading
overtures on various subjects, the question
of organic union being the question of COM
ment The committee charged 10 inquire
into Sabbath school cause reported that I'm
1894 there were 2,7l3 Presbyterian churches
Sabbath school, geo; church membership.
199. 1e7; Sunday school members, 10000. OF
the 1887 churches in the North only 10i are
represented as having no Sunday school.
The report calls attention to the fact that
there are probably 100000 children and
young people covered by the territory of
the assembly not in any Protestant Sabbath
are suggested and the appointment of
committee in connection with the secre-
tary of publication TO prepare system or
graded lessons for use in the Presbyterian
Sabbath schools is recommended.
Rev. DR.. b. A Alton, of Kentucky, says
his purpose in making a motion Thursday
that a special committee be placed in charge
of all matters and overtures pertaining
TO the relations of this assembly 10 the
Northern assembly was not intended to
reopen the question of organic union at
that time He said last night: NO de-
cision of anybody can. take the place or the
spirit of love. / do desire our assembly to
say to the Northern brethren just what
they said last year TO the associated Re-
formed Presbyterian churches; that il af-
firms its cordial desire for closer relations
cooperation in pressing forward the work
committed to these great bodies of the
church il would most certainly foster a
spirit of true fraternity.

When mention was made OF the reports
that had gone out from Cincinnati with
commissioner jumped TO his feet and made
a point of order against such mention. The
moderator refused to rule on the question.
but requested the speaker 10 exercise care
in the line of his discourse. The remainder
of DIR. Whites address had reference 10
the history of Lane Seminary, showing that
a liberal basis and charter, and stating
that there have been changes in the con-
stitution Of Ohio which make at5erau9hhs ,hs
out affecting all the educational lnstitu-
lions OF the State. Strong objection was
made to the statement OF Dr. Young, rnade
yesterday, that no seminary Is Presby-
terian institution which cannot make the
changes proposed by the committee. Sucn
statement was ehsracterlzed as new new test ,,
thorized by the church. Judge White spoke
for an hour and a quarter.
MDOUGALLS ADDRESS.
After a brief introduction by DIR. s. a.
Mutchmore. who replaced DR.. Young as
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Thomas
MacDougal, OF Cincinnati, was introduced
as a member of the committee, advocating
the recommendations of the COM
mittee's report He addressed himself
first 20 the objections that assembly control
would affect the title TO trust funds and
that seminarles which cannot make the
changes proposed are undenominational and
non-presbyteran Answering the question
as to how the conditions proposed by the
committee could be adopted by the SEM
inaries, he recited the case of Omaha Sem
mary, which had put them into It's articles
of incorporation. He asserted that the
funds of Union Seminary in New York,
are held under a charter which is as free
from the control of the courts of the Pres
byterian Church as the Standard OH Com
pany is and that any type of theology can
be taught there which is not repugnant to
the laws of the State of New York. The
seminaries were said TO be civil corpora
which may Justly be brought before Caesar
for Judgment. The General Assembly Is not
a legal entity and cannot have any stand
ing in the courts of the country unless
the right is given by the seminaries through
changes in their charters. The time of the
session was extended fifteerr minutes TO
allow Mr.. MacDoueal 10 finish his remarks.

The terms of the settlement are as follows:

charged with the $l04, 900 advanced TO Rob

charged with 5000 already received by

There has not been the bitterness Of feeling
between the opposing litigants, IL is said.
that might be supposed. and they preserve
cordial relations. The verdict relieves Mrs
Hibberd of any charge that she unduly in-
fiuenced her father. The jury stood ten To

of unsoundness of mind and seven 10 five
against the charge OF undue influence. Fin
ally one juror went TO the plaintiff on un-
soundness, making ii stand eleven TO one
on this point. Then il was that the five
jurors went over TO the seven on the
charge OF undue influence. 1t is gratifying
TO Mrs. Hibberd to be vindicated OF the
charge Of undue influence.
