SARATOGA, N. Y. May 2S.-In the
devotional exercises at the opening OF
today's session of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly there were frequent and
feeling illusions to the disaster at ST.

ing in New York was read by.Dr- Lane
of Bloomington, III. 1t recommends
that the building be sold and. that the
assembly accept Miss Kennedy's pro-
position to fit up home for the board,
but concludes with a clause referring
the matter 10 a special committee Of
eleven to be appointed by the modera-
tor. The resolution was adopted.
Church unity was presented by DR..
Patterson, of Pennsylvania. The COM
mfttee asked to be discharged from
further conference with the. commits
sion of the Protestant Episcopal church
on this subject.
The stumbling block was stated to
be the failure of that church to agree
upon a basis of mutual recognition
and reciprocity
The request was granted.

stated that he abandoned his command

the orders required for lessening the
consequences of defeat.

talk OF 50-cent dollar when the CONNER
cial parity If the two money metals shall
be reached. Every well-informed person
must know that the present disparity OF
the two uncoined metals is but the index
OF the extent to which gold has been bull
led in the markets Of the world. 1t Is
not an index Of the extent TO which raw
silver has declined In it's purchasing pow
or in the markets Of the world, for raw
silver has not declined in its purchasing
power as compared with the average OF
other commodities In any civilized mar

truth. This great question is hot upon
us. 1t can be kept back no longer. II
is tremendous economic question that
ought to be decided in the court OF right,
reason and OF fact. My judgment is that
the American people in spite Of all oppo-
sition are going 10 reclaim the right OF
transacting their business, and in par
ticular OF paying their debts according to
a standard unit worth hundred cents TO
the dollar, neither more nor less, and
that they will not accept the intolerable

act their business and in particular dis
charge their debts with cornered gold

Pianos are now at discount, and il is
amusing to note in the papers devoting
their columns largely to the interest Of
those who indulge in exchange and bar

thing which will in time initiate against
the continued use OF cycles by ladies is
that they are bad things for love and

Lawn tennis and dancing parties give

The american Banksr Of July 20 has an
extended statement of the forced resigna-

national bank. He was and is silver
man, and Comptroller Eckles wrote to
director Of the bank that unless President
Jaquith resigned, he would take steps to
wind up the affairs Of the bank, where
upon the president resigned. The paper
explains that the bank is admittedly all
right. There was nothing to prompt the
demand and threat, except that the presi-
dent is silverman. No comment is
necessary, except that much better men
than Comptroller OF the Currency Eckels
