Saratoga, n. Y, May 1.-the gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United-States will begin
its sessions here this week. What
seemed like harmonious meeting
some months ago now promises to be
a flot-bed of bitter elimination and re-
examination owing to the temperance
Df the Briggs ghost, which has given
signs recently of a desire to revisit
the glimpses of the moon" and stir up
more trouble than did the shade of
Hamlet's father. A few weeks ago at
the meeting of the New York presby
terry an innocent little resolution was
introduced merely reciting that the
general assembly at it's 1895 meeting
had attempted to dictate to presby-
teries by declaring against the employ
ment of preachers whose theological
education had been received at an in
stitution to whose teachings the as
sembly could not subscribe. All this
looked formal enough, but the New
York radicals went on to denounce in a
Drotherly way any attempt to dictate
the choice of pastors. Immediately the
old Briggs controversy arose from its
grave. Some speakers declared the
assembly had aimed at Union seminary
in which DR.. Briggs was professor, and

Sheboygan, Wis, May 19.-Fred
Green and Joseph Wildman were ar
rested yesterday at Waldo on the
charge of having caused the wreck of
the freight train Friday night in
which three men were killed and two
injured Other arrests will follow.
This is the third train that has been
wrecked at Waldo in six months. The
Waldo station is closed at night and
the wreckers were probably aware of
this fact, as the work was done within
a stones throw of the building. There
are about 100 people in the village and
the business portion consists of an ele-
vator, two or three stores and q hotel.
The footprints of men were visible in
the soft gravel near the point where
the track was INSTRUCTED. The ties
used were carefully selected, old ones
being used instead of new ones, which
would have been thrown from the
track much more easily by the train.
The funeral of Emil A. Caspari, the
brakeman who was killed took place
Monday afternoon in Milwaukee and
the funeral of JOHN O'COnnor, the en-
gineer, will be held at Green Bay to-
day. Mr. O'Connor was % years old
ana single, not married, as reported.

ROMANTIC STUDENTS.
They Clandestinely Marry and Worry
the Faculty

Ann Arbor, Mich, May 16-Univer-
sity circles are not done talking about
clandestine marriages. The most no
table was that of Mr.. Perry of the law
department and Maude Elaine Cald-
we'll, a poet. Their flight to West
Virginia for the purpose of getting
married has been entirely condoned by
the respective families But the faculty
do not disguise their annoyance just
the same. Although such events are
practically unprecedented in university
history, yet they were freely predicted
in the early days of coeducation. Dem
onstrator Lewis, the hero of one of
these episodes, has retired from the
university and left the city. The third
couple has also departed, but Perry
will remain to graduate. There is
party in the faculty who believes he
should be censured and that a rule
should be passed against clandestine
marriages. But this party is in a mi
nority.

LAST LAKE RACE AT YALE.
'Varsity's Race with the Yale Fresh
men by Special Permission.

New Haven, Conn.,, May 1S.-The
directors of the New Haven Water
Work company have decided to pro-
hibit the use of Lake Saltonstall and
Lake Whitney for rowing purposes be-
cause of the many complaints which
they have received from New Haven
people. This order will, however, in
all probability not go into effect for at
least year, and special permission
has been obtained to hold the Fresh
man-University of Wisconsin race on
Lake Saltonstall. The boathouse of
the University Boat club at Lake Whit
ney will have to be removed, as we'll

these are the only available places for
fresh water rowing near New Haven,

when seen today, said that no decided
steps had been taken by the company,
but expressed the belief that the pro-
hibition must come sooner or later

senator Dubois Commended for His
Efforts in Behalf of the White
Metal

Pocatello, Idaho, May 1.-THE re-
publican state convention here Sat,lr
day proved a harmonious gathering.
The Dubois men were in control by
about $50 to 20. The financial plank
is very emphatic and comprehensive.
1t follows in part:
The republican convention of 'SS DIP
clared it favor of gold and silver as
the standard Nancy of the United
States and condemned the action of
the democratic party for its efforts in
attempting to demonetize silver and
the republication national convention
OF '92 substantially reiterated the dec
laratlon of 'SS. Resolved, that we
heartily endorse the action of Senator
Dubois in joining with his associates
in fearless war in behalf of the free
coinage of silver and protection of
American industry and reciprocity are
one and inseparable."
The resolutions state that the free
coinage of silver would open 10 the
United States an immense trade with
China and Japan. The convention in
structed the delegates of the state to
work for a silver man at the ST. Louis
convention. The delegates are Sena.

Special emphasis will be laid on for

declared that they would not sit down
and see him hit with left-handed blows.
The matter went over but is expected
to be sprung on the assembly If it so
happens, a renewal of the Briggs fight
will be the result.
The convention will be called to or
der by the moderator, Rev R. R. Booth,
ID. D., LII. D., of New York City. His
successor will probably be Rev. David
r. Breed, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church of Pittsburg, although
there are other candidates who have a
strong following. DR.. Breed is a native
of Pittsburg, where he was born in
1S49. He imbibed his early religious
feeling in the Third Presbyterian
Ct urch of Pittsburg, and was named
for his pastor, Rev. David Riddle. He
studied in the Western university and
graduated at Hamilton college in 1867.
He entered the Auburn Theological
seminary, and received his divinity de-
gree there, although he is the stanchest
of the orthodox. He served for a time
while he was a student, at the House
of Hope church, st. Paul, Mimi. Later
he went to Chicago and was pastor of
the Church of the Covenent. At the
last Saratoga assembly DR.. Breed made
a powerful speech against Professor
Smith and was the hero in a bit of
dramatic oratory rarely equaled. He
is a strong, sympathetic man of robust
physique and tremendous vitality. The
friends of the higher criticism, who
are, therefore, friends of DR.. Briggs, do
not expect to receive much encourage
ment from his robust orthodoxy. They
expect to be able to defeat him and
secure what they call a broader" man
for the chair.
Church unity has been before the
general assembly for many years, and
il will come up again this year. There
has been a correspondence, a sort of
theological Irritation, between the rep
resentatives of the Presbyterian church
and the Protestant Episcopal church
for long time. AS the assembly
meets every year, and the general con-
vention only once in three years. there
have been more overtures from the
Presbyterian end of the sofa than from
that occupied by the other party. The
general assembly, however. played the
stern-father act a year or so ago, and
directed its committee to suspend fur
Their correspondence with the Protes-
liant Episcopal commission until it Sc
cured from its general convention in
structions to accept and act upon doc
uines already laid down. The burden
of the correspondence with the Epis-
copalians has been that mutual rec
ognition and reciprocity between the
different bodies who profess the true
religion is the first and essential step
toward practical unity; in other words,
that if there is to be permanent
union the concessions must be mutual. |
and a step in that direction, the Pres /
byterians think, would be the exchange
of pulpits by Presbyterians and Epis-
&C palians. This step the latter body
has not been willing to take yet. but

MKINLEY PASSES MUSTER.
A. P. A. Concludes to- Abolish the Ban
Put Upon Him.

Washington, May 1.-THE supreme
council of the A. P. A. reviewed the re-
pert of the advisory board upon the ac-
uon Of the executive committee in
blackhsting Mckinley as a presidential
candidate. 1t is asserted in substance
that the committee was warranted in
view of the evidence presented to it
IN placing ban ON Mckinley; but that
further examination of this testimony
by the full board convinced the mem
bers that the witnesses were unreliable
and their statements incorrect. The
board concluded, therefore, that Nc
Kinley should be placed on the same
footing as far as the A P A. is con-
cerned with the other presidential
candidates. Appended to the report
is statement in writing by Delegate
Euddleson, of California, who says
tra at committee Of which he was
chairman, interviewed Mckinley in
Canton, Ohio, on the 18th inst. and
that the interview was satisfactory.
An amendment to the constitution was
adoped to establish permanent head
quarters in Washington and to make
II obligatory on the supreme president
and supreme secretary to reside there
The right of the supreme president to
remove a state office was
