A PLEA FOR PEACE,
eral Assembly Objects to Quarrels in
the Church.

Saratoga, May 24-M oderator Withrow's
sermon today created a positive sensation
among the commissioners Of the Presby-
terian General assembly. The moderator s
sermons in the pest years especially since
the Briggs trouble has been characteristic
of appeals to the commissioners to stand
up in defence of the truth of the
Scriptures and the standards at any ost.
These sermons have come from staunoh
conservatives. Moderator Withrow's SER
mon was a veritable plea for peace and
work, which, following upon the con-
oiliaEory sermon of Moderator Booth
seems to mark new era in the Presby-
terian quarrel. One commissioner said,
"Such presentation of the character and
work of Jesus Christ as made by the
moderator is unworthy of Presbytery."
DIR. Withrow preached upon the subject
of love being stronger than violence in
the advancement of Christ's kingdom.
He said the controversies Of the past five
years during which the church had been
striving to defend the word of God from
the attacks of higher critics had been
harmful and hindered the preaching of
the gospel. The speaker closed by sayils
"We cannot shake men out of wrong
ways whether they are outside our men,

ministry can we?'

Has characterized the Affair-Queen
Victoria's Birthday Remembered.
Moscow, May 24.--At $50 this after
noon in the armory of the Kremlin, took
place the interesting ceremony of the
conseoration of the imperial standard.
This standard will be feature of the
coronation Tuesday, when the Emperor
will swear allegiance to the Oolors in
the Cathedral of the Assumption. At
one end of the room was q sort of altar
on which was golden vessel filed with
cQnsecrated water. In the centre Was
golden GROSS and at either side of which
were lighted candles. The standard,
hanging from staff, was held by % color
bearer, who stood at the left of the altar.
The bishops and priests of the Kremlin
cathedral in gorgeous Ohausables of
gold cloth, attended by aoolytes bearing
cenSorS stood in front of the altar,
while at the right was the imperial male
choir from st. Petersburg, dressed in
black and crimson oloaks.
Behind the priests, at little distance
from then, was the Emperor and all the
members of the Imperial family present
in Moscow, with their respective suites
and ladies of honor. A short religious
service was held composed of prayers and
responses and an anthem by the choir.
| The standard was sprinkled with holy
water and formally ooneeorated At the
service, during the singing Of the choir,
all nom bers of the Imperial family fled
before the altar and kissed the cross and
hands of tho priest, who bore it, after
which the standard was taken from this
room to another apartment to be safely
guarded until the coronation on Tues
day.
After the service the Emperor and
Empress drove to the Alexandria palace
escorted by a squadron Of cui razserss
They received along the entire route the
loyal aoolamation of tho people. A
grand review of all the regiments which
was to have taken place at noon, was
prevented by rain.
Services were held in the English
church today in honor of the 77th anni7
versary of the birth of Queen Victoria.
The Duke and Duchess of Connaught,
the former of whom is here as the re-
preventative of his mother, the British
Queen, attended the services accom-
panied by his suites.
The bishop of PeteTsborough, who will
attend the coronation as the representa-
tive of the Established Church Of Eng
land, preached the sermon.

ATTEMPTING TO DOWN MACHINE.
Mr.. Platt Says New York Mckinley Shout

New York, May 81. Senator Platt
this evening said: cit 10 plain that the
Mckinley managership propose to con-
tine to the end their plan of claiming
everything and oonoeding nothing. Their
lieutenants here arc equally determined
to aid them just as persistently for ends
and purposes with which the Mckinley
managers have no concern whatever. All
this Mckinley hullabaloo Is simply 30
much empty sound. It will not affect
the vote at St. Louis Of single delegate.
1t proceeds from the same old crowd of
antis who have been performing in this
way for many years. If the regular or
ganization today were advocating No
Kinley all these people would be de-
nounoing Mckinley. They simply make
use Of his name and position to aid their
own conspiracy for oyerthrowing the Re-
publican organization.
ReferriDg to the charge made by the
'anties' that he and his friends are pre-
pairing to bolt the Mckinley ticket Platt
rem arked: my friends and have no

tory of the Republican party in Of this

the monopoly Of boiling. They and
their allies have bolted or stabbed the
party in the back more than once since
the chief newspaper bolter began. The
Repub lican party of New York will op-
pose tie nomination of Mckinley On the
ground that he is q dangerous and mis-
leading candidate whose votes and
speeches show that he has no settled con-
viotions on the money question: We for
our part are fighting for principle, than
which there is none so important to the
people in their daily struggle for life,

chances as against group Of gr otesque

Drummer Martin Fatally Cut in Fight
With Mayor of Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Ark. May GA sensa-
tional killing occurred in this city last
night in Wilmington avenue. The
principals were W. W. Waters, mayor of
Hot Springs, and H. H. Martin, a drum
mer employed by a doctor. Waters since
taking the office of mayor has made a
bold stand against the disreputable To-
ment in this city and has had many a
drummer arrested and fined. Martin who
is the recognized king of the drummers
was arrested several days ago for drum
ming without wearing badge and
heavily fined by police judge. Meeting
Mayor Waters on the street last evening !,
Martin stopped him and endeavored to
get him to remit the fine. This the mayor
refused, and started toward home. Mar.
tin followed kept abusing him, and
finally caught him by the shoulders. A
scuffle ensued during which the mayor
drew knife and cut Martins neck
Sc vering the jugular vein.
The latter died in 10 minutes. Mayor
Waters Immediately gave himself up
to the officers and is under arrest. Tom
Mathix, nephew of Waters, endeavored
to separate the combatants and was

leaking badly. Capt. Poland stated that
at IL o'clock Friday night during a dense
fog he oollided with an unknown three
masted soho oner in the south channel
The stranger was apparently in ballast
trim and outward bound. The Sprague
struck the unknown vessel on the star
board side abaft the fore rigging. What
damage resulted to the stranger craft
could not be asoertained though she
must have been seriously injured and
probably sunk. Ten persons including a
woman were seen on the vessel. The
vessels came together with q terrific
| crash. Had the Sprague not been loaded
with lumber she would have gone to tn g
bottom as her bow was badly stove and
| water poured in in large quantities.
After the vessels separated the wreckage

Poland launched the yawl and patched
| the ,sohooner's bow using nearly bale of
oakum.
Previous to the accident fog horn
was heard at intervals, apparently from
of the deck of the unknown vessel and
was answered regularly from the
Sprague. Suddenly her huge hull loomed
up in the fog and darkness and the
Sprague was kept off. Captain Polan

that collision WAS unavoidable. Friday

craft was possibly one of these.
