SPRUNG AS A SURPRISE,
Resolutions Inviting Institutes
to Join the Catholic
Knights.
Further Steps In the Plan to Anal
gamate the Various Organ
izations.

OMAHA, NEBR., May 16.-At the fore
noon session of the Supreme Council of the
Catholic Knights of America Delegate
Fieney of New York sprang a surprise in
the form of resolution inviting members
of the Young Mems Institute to join the
Catholic Knights.
This was followed by a resolution of
Mr.. O'Keefe of New Mexico asking the
Young Mems Institute and kindred Catho-
lie societies to make formal proposition
to be merged into the Catholic knights of
America.
A red-hot fight was averted by referring
the resolutions to the committee on laws.
This is another feature of the fight for the
.amalgamation of all Catholic societies.
Mr.. Fieney Of New York offered reso-
luton inviting the Atlantic jurisdiction OF
the Young Mems Institute, especially
those who have embraced insurance feat
ures, to affiliate with the Knights, the in
vitation being extended because of the ex-
pressed belief of Grand Master Rives that
combination of the Young Mems Insti.
tute with the Catholic Knights of America
would be mutually advantageous.
1t is said upon good authority that the
question of admitting women to mem er.
ship will be revived tomorrow.

PRESBYTERIAN SESSION
Dispute Over. the Property
E: the Most. Important
Question.
ELECTION OF A MODERATOR.
The Homer Is Conferred Upon DR..
Robert Russell Booth of
New York.

P1TTSBURG, Pa, May 16.-A unique
feature of the sessions of the general as
sembly of the two leading branches of the
Presbyterian church is that both bodies
will discuss the question of the control of
theological seminaries conducted under
their auspices, and that the trustees of the
respective seminaries are reluctant to sur
render control, as desired by the supreme
bodies.
The United Presbyterian church has but
two theological seminaries. They are
located at Allegheny, Pa, and at Xenia
Ohio. The Allegheny seminary directory
has declined to surrender the property of
the institution to the general assembly /;
the. directory of the Xenia institution has
not been heard from definitely, but it was
stated last night that it is divided on the
question. The seminary question will be
the most important matter before the
United States Presbyterian Assembly
which convenes here on the 22d inst.
:. Commissioners from the West are rails
ing an issue of exciting Importance. They
say that the home and foreign boards are
"honeycombed with Briggism," and that
therefore, the people will not contribute.
Some are in war paint and are even gun
ming. for secretaries, and may demand a
reconstruction of the boards. Should such
an issu e be reached the seminary-control
question will be put in the background.
The subject may come up in the conven-
ton with the reports of the standing COM
mittees on the home and foreign boards
The first business session of the Presby-
terrain General Assembly opened at 8
O'Clock this afternoon with the committee
on commissioners report on the roll.
Following this there was the call for
nominations for moderator. General
James A. Beaver, Ex-Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, nominated DIR. Robert@Russell
Booth of New York. The nomination was
greeted with cheers. Rev. Andrew G..
Zenos, DID,, of Chicago, seconded the
nomination on behalf of the Western con-
tingent. The Western Commissioners
were determined not to let the office of
moderator go without fight, and DR..
Samuel s. Cryer of Albert Lea, Mimi,
nominated General Robert N. Adams of
Minneapolis. He was followed by DIR.
Clarence w. Backus of Kansas City, who
nominated DR.. William NJ. Page of
Leavenworth, Kans.
Nominations were then closed and Isaac
D. Fry of Cincinnati and H. T. Nash of
st. Louis were appointed tellers. The first
ballot resulted as follows: Booth, 300;
Page, 1855; Adams, SO.
On motion the election of DR.. Booth
was made unanimous and the new moder-
ator was called to the platform and made
pleasing address,
DR.. w. L. McEwan presented the new
moderator with handsome gavel made
from olive wood in Jerusalem and sent to
the assembly by the Rev. E. S. Wallace, a
Presbyterian minister and United States
Consul at Jerusalem. :.

CONEY ISLANDS BIG FIRE,
Annual ConfIagration on the
West End of the
Resort.
One Hundred Buildings Burned or
Damaged and Sixty Families
Deprived of Shelter.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 16-The
west end of Coney Island was visited by
its annual confagration to-day. The
spread of the flames was accelerated by a
strong south wind. Conrad Steubendorfs
three-story hotel, where most of the pugil-
lists had established their training-quarters,
was destroyed among the first buildings
From there the flames spread to new
two-story hotel and half a dozen small
buildings adjoining it. They were burned
to the ground, as was the miniature Ferris
wheel.
Altogether about 100 buildings were de-
stroyed or greatly damaged, and about q
thousand people are thrown out of employ
ment. The estimated damage is $3.50, 1000.
Sixty families who were deprived of shell
ter by the fire have taken refuge in the Sea
Beach Palace, which is large place of
amusement.
A man named Gallagher was overcome
by the fierce heat of the fire. Assistance
was asked for from the fire companies at
Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Unionville
and Brooklyn.

/. BERLIN, GERMANY, May 16.-In spite OF
the fact that Chancellor Hohenlohe depre-
Gates the matter. the Upper House of the
Prussian Diet, by vote of Y to 50, adopted
Count Won Mirbach's resolution in favor
of steps being taken for the prompt settle
ment of the currency question by an agree
ment as to international bimetallism.
During the debate the President of the

that it would thereby create disaster and
disturbances. Prince Hohenlohe adhered
to his statement in the Reichstag that the
Government would submit the silver .aues-
ton to further examination in consonanee
with the Federal Government, and was
also willing ultimately to meet the other
powers aud discuss the commercial meas
ures to be taken.
But first of all the basis of the discussion,
he insisted, must be definitely settled upon.
So soon as the answer to the Government
was received renewed attempts would be
made to invite an international exchange
of views upon the subject. Therefore he
advised the House, if it did not wish to
support the affair, to adopt Herr Becker's
amendment, which struck out that part OF
Count Mirbach's motion which demanded
that Germany take the initiative.
Prince Hohenlohes advice, however,
was ignored and the amendment was re-
jected by vote of y to 3S, and later Count
Won Mirbach's motion in favor of steps
being taken upon the part of the Govern
ment for the prompt settlement of the cur
rency question byan agreement as to inter
national bimetalIism, was adopted by the
same figures

JUDGE SANBORN'S ORDER.
Officials Are at Sea as to Just
What the Ruling Con-
templates.
FINANCES ALL IN A MIDDLE.
Solicitor Ihurston Thinks The u. p.
Men Are Favored by the
Decision.

OMAHA, NEBR., May 16.-It seems inn
possible to tell how far or to what extent
the relationship between the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line will be affected by
Judge Sanborn's order in the Short Line
case at st. Paul yesterday. officials at
headquarters are somewhat at sea as to
just what the order contemplated. Viewed
from almost any standpoint, the condi-
tons are such that it may contemplate
any further propositions 1t may mean
the payment OF interest on coupons in de-
fault, plus the interest accrued on the date
the property goes to the new receiver and
to accrue during the. life of the receiver
ship; coupons ON all first mortgages on
the entire Short Line system, or coupons
plus interest accrued on the entire system
and to accrue during the life of the receiv-
ership.
1t is believed that should the American
Loan and, Trust Company attempt to pay off
the interest defaulted, and, taking the four
propositions as basis in view of the un-
certainty attaching to the order, it is
roughly Appropriated that the amount in
volved in these propositions will range
from $3.50 900 to 81 ,25o, 600.
General Solicitor Thurston to reporter
outlined the position of the receivers,
whom he represents, and gave his opinion
as to exactly what the order of Judge San
born contemplates. He said:
II have not seen the full text of Judge
Sanborn's order or opinion in the m alter
of the Short Line receivership, but there
can be no question but what the Judge has
decided in our favor as fully and COM
pletely as we asked. 1t was repeatedly
conceded in the argument that if the Sec
ond mortgage holders would pay or give
a bond to pay the first mortgage interest
| then they were entitled to an order putting
their receiver in charge of the property.
On the hearing we offered to withdraw
from the argument if they would pay the
first mortgage interest or give good and
sufficient bonds to pay it. This the other
side was not prepared to do and insisted
that their receiver was entitled to posses
sion of the property without requiring
them to pay the interest. All we con-
tended for was the right of retention by
the present receivers appointed under the
first mortgage interest until the first
mortgage interest was paid.
II am not able to state just what amount
it will be necessary for the second mort
gage holders to advance to meet the def
cheney in the first mortgage interest, but
think there is something like $500 900 to
$500, 900, and. in my judgment, it is not
at all likely that the second mortgage
bondholders will raise and pay this money
for the mere purpose of putting their re-
ceiver in charge of the property during
foreclosure proceedings. 1t stands, how
ever, conceded that the second mortgage
under its foreclosure bill has the absolute
right to possession of the property upon
taking care of the first mortgage interest

reconvened to-day. After secret session
of two hours the judge advocate was re-
quested to read the records of court-mar-
tial held in 1868, when DR.. Kershner was
convicted of writing letter to the Balti-
more American rejecting on the action of
Rear-Admiral Dupont at the siege of
Charleston. He was ordered to be dis
missed from the navy, but the then Secre-
tary of the Navy, Gideon Weiles, rein
stated him, and cautioned him not to re-
peat the offense.
The fact that this record was. called for
shows that. the present court-martial has
found DR.. Kershner guilty, but whether
guilty of all the charges or guilty in a
lesser degree than charged will not be
made known until the report of the action
of the courtmartial is known at Washing
ton.

Inantaration to Canada.

OTTAWA, ONT, May 16.-The report of
Superintendent of immigration Burgess
has been laid before Parliament. 1t shows
the total immigration to Canada last year
to have been 27,911, as against 63,447 in
1888 OF these $50 came from the United
States, as against 818 in 1893. About one
third of the latter are Canadians who had
settled in the Western States. The report
states that the number of arrivals from
the United States would have been much
larger but for the fact that many were un-
able to dispose of their property.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 16.-The
Japanese legation has received an official
cable stating, in substance, that final and
satisfactory agreement has been reached
by Japan with the European powers on the
Eastern question.
1t is regarded as closing the entire sub
ject. 1t is also regarded as negativing the
unofficial statement of the Russian news
papers that Russia would claim a protect
crate over Korea.
The reports of Russia's purposes in alb
sorbing Korea are not seriously enter
tanned in diplomatic circles. No such pur-
pose has ever been suggested in the official
correspondence thus far.
China's assertion of protectorate over
Korea led to the recent war, so that it is
not likely Japan would regard similar
claim by Russia with Indifference. An
other report coming from Frankfort that
Russia's claim on Korea was for the pur-
pose of protecting Russian merchants
against Japanese competition is known to
be erroneous by those familiar with the
facts. A diplomat recently at Seoul, the
capital of Korea, says there is only one
Russian, carpenter, in Korea outside of
the legation.
ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, May 49,
Inquiries in various. quarters here where
information can be obtained elicit the in
formation that the Government has come
to no decision regarding the occupation of
Korea. The Russian press has for some
time been advocating protectorate by
Russia over that country or its occupation
until Japan has entirely abandoned Man.
